I have an A320M-HD motherboard paired with an Athlon 240GE and I'm trying to add a separate graphics card but the card is not recognised. It does not even appear in the OS in the list of PCI devices.
Whatever I set the enable internal graphics to in BIOS it always sets it back to "Forces" and I guess this may be at the root of it. Any ideas about what is going on and what I should do?

I think forces is fine. I just installed a 1660 Ti and that setting seemed to always stick no matter what I did.
I would suggest downloading DDU (display driver installer), reboot into safe mode, and run DDU to get rid of the Vega 3 drivers. Do this even if the discrete card is an AMD GPU. Then, install the drivers for the discrete GPU. Let us know what happens.

Well, I'm running Linux on this so its a little difficult to do that the way you say, though I have tried equivalent things such as blacklisting the driver. I might yet give it a go with a temp Windows installation just to see.
However, I'm pretty sure its not a driver problem as the card is not detected at all.

Just to clarify that; it is before OS loading, and hence long before driver loading, that the problem arises - I cannot even see the BIOS splash screen.
Linux sees absolutely nothing - not even unrecognised hardware.
I know that the card is OK (works in another machine) and that the slot appears to work as I tried a sound card in it and that was detected.
