I recently built a a system and it won't detect the PCI-e card but it will detect the onboard just fine.

GIGABYTE GA-M61SME-S2 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

SAPPHIRE 100176L Radeon X1950PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

I was hoping to be able to run 3 monitors off of it, but I've read things about needing to disable the onboard in order for the PCI-e to work. But I would at least be happy with being able to run 2 off of the PCI-e. The onboard does not cut it for my purposes and I can't figure out how to get this to work. In the BIOS there's no option to disable the onboard. It doesn't even recognize the hardware as being connected.

Thoughts? Do I just need to get a new motherboard? This doesn't make sense...
