Can you find anything in BIOS setup to disable "onboard video"?

A lot of times onboard cannot be disabled. All you can do is tell Windows to ignore that device by setting it as "disabled" from the device manager.

I just added an FX5500 video card to a friend's Dimension 2350. The first thing you need to do is upgrade your BIOS to version A02. You can download this from the Dell website using the following links:

http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/BR58200.exe

http://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/2350_A02.exe

Bios version A02 addes a new option, "Primary Video Adapter" to the "Advanced-> Peripheral Configuration" BIOS menu. Change the setting from "Onboard" to "Auto" and save your settings. That's it! Install your new video adapter, plug your monitor into the new adapter and boot.
Good Luck...
