Painted into a corner?
The following can't hurt.
(Lets just hope the video default is to look to the PCI first and then "fallback"
to the onboard video.)

From the HP site:
Step 4: Resetting and updating the BIOS
In case an item was changed in the BIOS, such as the primary display device setting, 
use the following steps to reset the BIOS back to its default configuration:
Turn on the computer and press the keyboard key that enters the BIOS Setup 
screen key when the keyboard light comes on. 
The key to enter the BIOS should be one of the following:
HP and Compaq desktop computers that came with Windows Vista, press F10 . 
For HP Pavilions desktop computers that came with Windows XP or 
previous versions of Windows, press F1 . 
Compaq Presario desktop computers built after 2002, press F1 . 
Compaq Presario desktop computers built prior to 2002, press F10 . 
Wait 5 seconds.
Press the F5 key to restore the default settings of the BIOS. 
Press Enter to accept the change and wait five seconds. 
Press the F10 and then the Enter key to save the changes and exit from the BIOS. 
The monitor should now display the first screens received from the computer (the logo screens). 
End of quote.
