Most modern mother boards don't require disabling your integrated graphics. They disable it automatically when they sense a video card plugged in. But, even with older boards, device manager doesn't do the trick. It needs to be done via system bios.

Make sure the card is seated properly (a flashlight would help), and make sure you have a sufficient power supply and that you have the correct power connector plugged in to your card (if it requires one).
