Can you confirm you have turned off the onboard graphics in the bios as per my previous post?

Right found my other card. Set bios to try PCI-e card first. Plugged both VGA and DVI cables in. The DVI connection worked. Post screen came up and the after windows had started the VGA connection worked but all I got was the wallpaper. All the icons appeared on the DVI screen

I swapped the VGA connection to default display and turned off the expand monitors so the DVI connection was not in use. Restarted the computer and the VGA connection once again never came on. But the DVI connection did. When it got to windows the VGA screen came on and the DVI went off.

I am back on the onboard VGA now as the PCI-e card was throwing up errors and not much worked on the display side.

Any ideas?

There is no option to disable it. Just an option to pick PCI-e over the oboard

Reason: VGA output set to monitor 2, DVI output set to Monitor 1 (main desktop).

Logical, those settings you configure only take effect in Windows.

What sort of "errors"?

Thats odd, page 38 of the Motherboards user manual says there is an option to turn off the onboard graphics. quite strange
