Help: My Systemax / New Video Card problem

Help!I purchased a Systemax in 11/03 SN 105220145 with P4 2.66, P4M266 MATX Motherboard with LAN, Audio & Video. About two weeks ago my video appeared all washed out (virtually no color). Photos and web pages “without” motion appeared fine. The only way I could correct was to change from 60 Hertz to 75 Hertz. This way I could play video clips, but when doing so DVD’s will not play at the 75 Hertz speed. Everything else worked ok.

I downloaded the latest driver for the on-board card ProSavageDDR and reinstalled, but same thing, color washed out. I want to put in an nVidea FX4000 CPI Video card to correct the problem. How do i disable the present on-board video card? It does not appear that there is a setting for this in the BIOS.
