As others have said hp/compac (same company by this time) most likely would have the chipset set as default which should be a Intel GMA 3100. This board is on The Retro Web along with some information about it(good site for information, bios, and manuals). One other thing to try it to clear the cmos jumper should be above the ram. Does the case it came in have the connector for the hdmi header on the board in it as well if you don't have a vga monitor?
The combination of the video title and the channel name was the sole reason I clicked on the video (it did make me smile). First and foremost, I delight in witnessing others tinkering and attempting repairs on their own. Persevere in these efforts, for in due time, you shall reap substantial rewards. Moreover, you might consider utilizing the SPI port on the motherboard for diagnosing your fault. By employing an Arduino as an SPI-to-usb bridge, you can obtain the boot console output. This information will offer greater insight, enabling you to determine your subsequent course of action. *edit If luck favors you, it's possible that bidirectional communication isn't locked, allowing potential editing or reading of the configuration of the graphical output device.
These Asus boards from this time period are weird with graphics cards especially modern graphics cards. I've played with a few HP Pavilions and Compaq Presarios with very similar looking boards that all threw a fit with certain graphics cards. I usually had better luck with Nvidia stuff. Also there is a setting in tbe bios that could be set as onboard graphics being your primary video output so it's completely ignoring your GPU. A lot of HP/Compaq stuff had it set to onboard from the factory. Hopefully this isn't the case in your situation but if the computer this board came from had a Bestec PSU in it then it's likely that the board is messed up. Those power supplies were notorious for frying motherboards and sometimes keyboards/mice. Back in middle and high school I had a side business doing computer repair and I used to replace countless amounts of boards and PSUs in many different HP, Compaq, Emachines, Gateway, Acer and a few Dells all with Bestec ATX-250-12E/12Z or 300-12Z units in them. The 5v standby was usually the killer. Great video by the way! These old LGA 775 and Socket AM2 era stuff is my favorite stuff to mess with.... probably cause im getting old lol.

This is a ton of information, I appreciate it a lot!
