David: Do you have the manual for your motherboard? It should show you what jumpers to move around in order to disable your on-board video card. Also check your Bios setup in conjunction with the above.

On board video sometimes cannot be disabled. Look for a jumper, or possibly a BIOS setting to disable it. Are you sure you have the drivers for the new 3D card installed?
