Disabled Integrated Graphics, Returned Video Card!?

i bought an NVIDIA graphics card from staples, and i installed it. i noticed when they put it aside for me it was the wrong one. i had turned my integrated graphics card off, and already returned the other one. when i turn my computer on the motherboard (ASUS P5B-VM SE) i get a long beep and 3 short ones. is there any way i can reset back to the integrated video card?|||Computer off, unplugged from electricity.

Work on a table <-

Open the computer case. Touch the metal frame of the case, to relieve your body of static electricity.

Take out the CMOS battery (CR2032) Set it on the table. (Piece of paper under it preferred)



Press the Power On button, and hold it in for a count of five seconds. (1001,1002, 1003....) Let go of the Power On button.

Do this two more times.

Computer monitor plugged into your motherboard. (I/O area {Input/Output} where your keyboard, and mouse plugs into)



Put the CMOS battery back in.

Close the computer case.

Plug the computer back into electricity.

Wait two minutes.

Turn the computer on.|||Yes. Here are the steps:



1) Turn the power supply off (with the switch on the power supply) or unplug the computer.



2) Reset the CMOS following the directions for your motherboard. It will involve moving a jumper, waiting a minute, the moving it back.



3) Plug the computer back in or turn the power supply on. Turn the computer on. Make sure to get into the CMOS setup -- do not allow the machine to boot.



4) Reset the time and date.



5) Reset your BIOS settings the way you want them. Make sure to get any RAID/AHCI settings correct before you boot! This is especially important if you are using striping or mirroring.



6) When you are sure your BIOS settings are correct, save them.



7) Boot.



Alternatively, you could just throw in any old video card you have laying around, get into the BIOS, change settings, and power off.
