Did you disable the on board graphics in your BIOS when you installed the new graphics card?
Without going back and checking your previous posts I cant recall which OS and PC you are using  ???

there may be a jumper on the mobo to disable the onboard graphics ... and as Sandra has mentioned ... try the BIOS

Can you tell me which Bios it is ( Award,Amibios or Phoenix). Then I have a chance at telling you where to look and hopefully what to set it to  :-*
