Graphics card not detected - what can I do?

Recently installed my MSI 7300GS MD256EH card (http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1106&maincat_no=130&cat2_no=136) on an Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-145-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=807), but it doesn't seem to be detected at all, even in Device Manager and will only run on the board's integrated 6150 Graphics. Both items are Vista certified and the graphics card was running fine in the Shuttle system I just pulled it from. I've tried installing the NVidia Vista drivers, as well as the VGA and Chipset drivers for the motherboard, but still nothing :confused: Does anyone have any idea what else I could try?
 
Have you tried disabling the onboard graphics in the BIOS!
(You may need to reset your BIOS if the above does not work)

Damn - entered the BIOS and PCI-E was set up as primary display device :mad:

Suppose all I can do is reset the BIOS and hope. If that doesn't work, do you think it'd be a mobo or graphics card issue?
