Is there an option in the BIOS to disable onboard video?
You could try that. I will look up the specs on your mobo to see if there is anything obvious.
Check your manual if you need to disable onboard video via BIOS or physical jumper setting on the Mobo.

And welcome to the forums... 😀

Get back to ya soon.

Ok, I found this from the manual in pdf form. Looks important.

Nice Mobo by the way... 🙂

Note: Please note that when an extra AGP card is
installed and the onboard AGP function in BIOS is
disabled, the system can support
DDR400/333/266; otherwise it only supports up to
DDR333.

Hope this helps.
