There is a setting in your bios that needs to be disabled.
Your motherboard manual should have more info.

Thanks for the reply, unfortunatly i haven't got a manual for the mobo, any ideas what it will be under?

I'll try and get the mobo model no. etc

You get to the bios usually by hitting the del key when the computer first boots up but on some computers you may have to hit one of the function keys or the esc key so you just have to keep trying until you get into the bios. Please note that there is a window that will get you into the bios if you hit the key before or after that window it won't work. You will have to explore in the bios to see if you can shut off the on board video.

There may be a jumper on the motherboard that will shut off the on board video. If you can find a motherboard manual either on the internet or with your computer documentation then that will tell if and how to disable the on board video.

Can you give us more info?

I would start in the advance section but it is hard to say without knowing the motherboard.

Here is a website where you can download Everest. It will give you the make and model of your motherboard.

Once you have the make and model you can download the manual from the manufacturer.

It's so awkward coz the pc's not here and i'm giving a mate instructions over the phone which is ni on impossible

I believe it is found under Integrated Devices in your bios.

Here is what I found on the Dell website. Look under integrated devices.
