Right. I have an asus a7v8x-mx motherboard in my PC, and wanted to upgrade to a better graphics card. I bought an Nvidia AGP card, but it doesn't want to work properly with the Asus board. When I put the card in, Windows XP begins to load, but before it gets to the welcome screen, the monitor goes blank and I get a "no video signal message". I've done some research and it sounds like I can't uninstall the original VGA graphics card that is built into the motherboard. There is no option to uninstall the card in BIOS and there are no special jumper pins. Through trial and error I worked out that I can get the Nvidia card to work in Safe Mode, but any attempt to change or save settings and the screen goes dead.
I've tried disabling the current VGA adaptor in Device Manager, but that doesn't work either.
So, am I going to be stuck with a useless card or is there some way of disabling the current video card in BIOS and avoiding the current conflict?

I havebeen there before with an ASUS MB in an HP523n PC- the HP website for for the 523n had instructions
You are correct nothing in BIOS will help
So go into settings menu---->control panel--0-->system----->device manager--->hardware and scroll down to the video or vga adapter choice and yes...unintall it
turn off pc
install graphics card into AGP slot
-turn PC back on
-insert CD that came with graphics card into CD drive and it will either autoinstall or a menu will appear and click on install graphics drivers and control panel or something to that effect.
There are other add-ons that you also install then or later
-reboot machiine
-if ti comes up in 800 x600 mode check ICON tray for resolution menu ICON and set it to the desired resolution

Go into your BIOS and set your main video adapter to AGP instead of PCI.
