You may need to disable it in the BIOS, or perhaps it will be disabled automagically when it detects the new card.

As far as the drivers... err... I don't quite know. What OS are you using?

Start>control panel>display>settings tab>advanced button>adapter tab> properties button>driver tab> remove driver.
Turn off onboard video and select pci video in bios

I just told you how.
Also you can right click the desktop select properties>settings and go from there.

Yes but I would suggest uninstalling the device driver.

Put the drivers for your integrated device on a cd.

Edit: or just disable the device until you get your new card running.

Don't no which card you bought but your celeron is the more likely culprit depending on whic game.
