Answer : Problem: i have a acer e 700 need to install

K good then you might not have to even disable the on board video. this should be just as simple as open case, install the card, plug in the additional power supply to the card if it requires one,  boot machine and install the driver package from nvida. Should be plug and play with no problems. follow basic precautions and use a grounding strap to avoid static discharge
