I need to test my integrated graphics, but I cannot for the life of me remove my graphics card from it's slot! It's one of the ones with the lock that is sticks out to the side.
 
Solution
Two things, first, there should be a tab that you need to push on to release the card on the PCI-e slot itself. Second, GPUs are typically screwed into the case at the input/exhaust (the back of the case). So, make sure you removed those screws, and while you hold down the tab, just give it a good tug and it should come out.

Solution
Place your case flat, unplug the back connectors, unscrew the card, with one hand you release the latch at the end of the pcie slot and pull out the card with the other. Since the bottom of the card typically is hooked, it is better to lift from the left side first.
