This is a fault I have come across and it is a motherboard bios issue. Maybe update? the bios should offer priority to PCI E rather than PCI though. What are the bios options for display adapter

I have had machines that do this. You turn it on and it displays from onboard turn it off and it displays from GFX card. As long as the psu remains plugged into the mains and switched on the system will then reboot or start up displaying from GFX card but as soon as you unplug it it reverts to onboard.

Most modern motherboards will detect a card and totally disable the onboard.

Because the board is Nforce and the card is Geforce its not trying to run some sort of hybred sli is it?
