It seems like OP is all at sea. I think if Intel HD Graphics is not showing then it is disabled in the BIOS already.

AMD has released v11.5 Catalyst drivers. Try that instead.

Once the GPU is plugged in, the Onboard will get disabled. And not show up.

Sleep in peace, now.

Its not always like that. I sold my HD4850 to my friend who's having a COMPAQ C2Q based desktop. I myself installed the GFX card, connect the VGA cable and guess what, nothing on screen while the system is up and running. Putting the cable back to the onboard graphics, I have to access BIOS to specifically set it to IGP disabled mode to get it worked.

Tomorrow will probably be the answer to the question of whether the latest drivers help or not

POST ADDED
But how do you use system restore?

IMPORTANT

and the new drivers fixed the problems.
In WEI however i get 6.0 for gaming gfx and for gfx

Good to know your problem is solved. My 6950 scored 6.3 in WEI, so I think 6.0 for 6870 is normal.

Moral of the story: Always install the latest drivers.

HAPPY GAMING now :thumbs:

btw guys. Run bad company 2
got fps always above 50 fps with minimum around 46 fps
using fraps.
using everything maxed out.
Yet, i FELT that there was a bit of lag at places. And in parts of the cinematic vids i felt that there was lag and there were lines( you know the ones that show bad signal etc.; the ones that devs sometimes purposely put for enhancing effects to show that the signal has just started)
btw is this normal?( i mean is this purpusefully done in bad company 2 for effects)
Or does it happen when you just start playing games and unleashing the power of your gfx card?
BTW how do i check my gpu idle and load temps?
and also my CPU temps?
