You might have to enable the onboard graphics in the BIOS in order for that to work...

But did you try inserting the video card again? Maybe it wasn't seated correctly...

Hmm, good point :lol:

I'm not sure about switches on the motherboard, the only thing I can suggest is that you give this a read. http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000241.htm

Maybe someone else has a better idea in the meantime.
