i have an amd athalon 64 processor@2.4ghz with 2gb memory and the motherboard is a gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9

i have bought an Nvidia GeForce 8400gs 512mb card
the problem is my pc is using on board graphics and i cant seem to get it to disable the on board graphics so i can get this other card running
i put the card in as told to do so and fired up the pc was told it shud say when on the windows screen new hardware found this did not show at all
i then proceeded to install the software for the card then reset pc with vga cable which still did nothing i've then gone into bios settings to tell the pc to go on pci slot only which has resulted in nothing

any help would be appreacited thank you

either that i have been sold a faulty card
