"Enable if No Ext GPU", which is the closest I can get to turning the onboard GPU "off".
The motherboard is not recognizing that a graphics card is installed at boot up as I get nothing out of the ASUS graphics card ports.
I am able to boot into Windows XP with the motherboard VGA connected.
I can then attempt to install graphics card drivers for the ASUS card, however once I get half way through the process the screen goes black and I get nothing out of any display ports (both on the motherboard & on the graphics card). It is like the whole system enters "limbo"!
It doesn't seem to matter if I perform the automated ASUS drivers install, by double clicking setup on the disk, or if I go the manual way, by attempting a drivers update through "Device Manager".
If anybody has any suggestions on how I can successfully install the graphics card drivers they will be greatly appreciated.

First thing I would do is go to
Start/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/Display Adaptors and disable onboard vga from there.
Try rebooting to see if the new card gets regognized.
If not try the card in a friends comp.
If it doesn't work ...could be DOA... time to RMA.
Could also be your mobo PCI-X slot is faulty.
I had a mobo for a year and a few months ...got some new ram...turns out 1 of the 4 slots was dead.

Solution found by using two monitors
Hey mate,
Thanks for your response. Ultimately two monitors served me in finding a solution to my predicament. I plugged one into the onboard and one into the graphics card and then configured desktops as required.
Now I have only one monitor plugged into the graphics card and nothing comes up on screen until Windows XP loads (e.g.: I don't see the BIOS screen, etc).
I have seen this issue before on another computer, and perhaps not by coincidence both computers featured an ECS motherboard!
