I recently bought a new/old dell optiplex 7010 [View all]
and bought a sound card and a 2 gig radeon video card that I am going to put in it. My question is do I have to go into the BIOS after I install them to tell BIOS that I want to use these cards rather than the output for sound and video from the motherboard. I'm sure I do but not real sure how to do it. I know how to boot into the BIOS no problem. My old dell computer came with a sound card and video card as I had those installed when I purchased it new and after a lightning strike I had to move my outputs to the ones on the motherboard as the Lightning strike fried my cards so I'm pretty sure I can do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
