Jumpers J4 and J5 are used to disable onboard VGA.

When you have jumpers set t6o disable, Does your system boot up with the Nvidia card installed and your monitor hooked to it.?

If it does then you need to install the drivers for the Nvidia board.

When system boots in safe mode go to control panel - System- device manager click on display adapter then properties update driver and try to install the drivers for the Nvidia
