the whole possibility of not being able to boot even a setup or F10 window has me shook. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Mostly because I can't find any evidence of onboard GPU (which is probably accurate). Do I still have onboard display? Onboard GPU seems to be more an Intel thing. AMD doesn't appear to have onboard GPU.

I realize I have no onboard GPU. So I should probably find a tech whos done this before? Without onboard you have to agree with my assessment that this is incredibly high risk? Does Geek Squad do stuff like this? Even if I didn't buy it from them?

Alright final question. What versions of Windows have you done this kind of swap on? Its just sucky you can't let the BIOS know about the change and plant the drivers in a standby situation during safe mode to avoid any possible boot problem.

Basically I spent a few hours here http://forums.guru3d.com/ and cold feet set in.
All kinds of weird scenarios and situations involving a swap are posted there with headlines like "Help PC ruined lifes over". Reading guru3d is similar to googling your medical symptoms, I realize. But my courage was gone after that.

Boards without onboard graphics use slot cards for video when you boot.

few things can cause a computer to not make it thru POST. but usually its something really simple like not putting the card in the slot right (most common one). usually happens with RAM but could just as easily happen with a graphics card. its called "reseating" the card. just unplug it and plug it back in properly this time.
also I don't see how the windows device driver could cause this issue you are describing. | ||
