I am taking my dedicated graphics card out of my pc because I have faults with it, can someone please tell me how to switch back to integrated graphics? It's just a blank screen when I plug my DVI cable into the on-board DVI slot

Reinstall your discrete graphics card. Power up your system and go into BIOS. There should be an option to enable on-board graphics. Navigate to your motherboard's support page, re-download and install your VGA graphic drivers. Shutdown and remove the graphics card. Connect your display to the motherboard's DVI output and reboot your system.

This *SHOULD* resolve your issues.

The easiest way to get output would be to power down the computer, uninstall the dedicated card, and pull the CMOS battery for 30 seconds and replace.

This will obviously reset any custom settings you have in the BIOS, but once you power up it should detect that there's no discrete GPU installed and it will default to the integrated GPU.
