A pci-e or agp being plugged in to its corresponding slot would automatically shut down the on board video.
If you are not comfortable, you may want to get a friend who is familiar to do this for you. You need to go in to the bios, and shut down the onboard video manually. At the same time, you also need to make sure that the bios can see the video card plugged in to the pci slot and recognizes that it is video. It is important that you are positive that you have set the pci card as the video source before you let the computer reboot after deactivating the on board video.
Paul is correct, you have to go into the bios and set the video to use the PCI slot. I'll give you a call Saturday and if you still haven't fixed it, I'll come over and show you what to do. Good luck.
