Did you make sure to plug in the extra power connector into the card?
Is this an OEM power supply?
If the card is underpowered it will not work right

It may need a BIOS upgrade.

The power supply is a good point. Emachines are notorious for poor PS`s as well as hardly being able to power what comes in the machine off the shelf.

Regarding the BIOS. There may not be a disable onboard, but there is probably a way to point it to the PCI graphics card instead of the built-in which is probably listed as either onboard or VGA.

I see nothing in BIOS related to video and I upgraded psu to 450 watts anticipating new card.No power supply input on the card.Im reading posts about certain graphics cards dont do well with integrated graphics.Could this be my problem?There must be a way around this.They put the PCIE slot in for a reason!!

You may have to dig a little. Sorry I can not remember the exact wording. Will say something like "first boot PCI.........."
Not to be confused with "boot from....." or "first boot device...." These point to either the hard drive, optical drive or other device that the BIOS are to look for the operating system.

The setting, or similar, is in there some where. A BIOS update is not the solution even if one did exist.

Look to see if there is a reference to display or first display in BIOS.

Hard to say, but do`t think so.

BIOS layouts and wording differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. The setting\change you need is in there. Sorry I can not pin-point it for you.

I can't find a manual of any sort for this system.

Very poor support, IMO.

That sounds very close. The video is on board = chipset. VGA is how it is recognized by the system = instead of PCI. The amount of memory used\you want it to use from the system = 16mb,32mb,64mb,128mb.

The worst that will happen if you disable it and it is not the right one is reset the BIOS to default.

If Louis can not find any online documentation for the board then I`m not even going to try a search.
