Once you enter into your computer's BIOS utility, you can enable and disable any piece of hardware you'd like. This includes the video graphics adapter installed inside your computer. The video graphics adapter is different from a regular display adapter in that it only processes graphics intensive applications like certain video games or editing utilities, which will likely not work correctly once the device is disabled.
Instructions
1. Turn on your computer and access your BIOS setup program. When your computer turns on, one of the first screens you see will contain your computer's manufacturer's logo. If HP made your computer, for example, you will see the HP logo on your screen. Beneath this logo is the word "BIOS," followed by a specific keyboard key. Press this keyboard key to access your BIOS.
2. Choose "Advanced."
3. Choose the option for your video graphics adapter. Once selected, two options will appear in relation to the adapter: "Enable" and "Disable."
4. Highlight "Disable." Press "Enter." Your video graphics adapter is now disabled in your BIOS.
