What happens if I disable "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" under display adapters? I'm trying to install the driver for my Radeon 6950 to get it working. I tried once and on startup all I got was a black screen after it said "Windows is Starting." I booted in safe mode and uninstalled the driver. I realized I hadn't installed my mobo drivers so I did that. On some online forums it said I should be looking for "Intel Integrated graphics" and disable it then install my graphics card driver. But all I see is "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter."

My monitor is hooked to my graphics card through an AVG to DVI connector.
I'm running an intell i5-2500k on an ASRock p67 Extreme4
 
Hi Start your computer in safe mode and then install your Radeon drivers. Restart in normal mode and the new drivers will be detected and used. Do not uninstall any of the standard windows graphics drivers.
