I got a new graphics card and I'm trying to install drivers for the GPU. My computer works fine with onboard graphics but when I plug in my graphics card, video won't output from on-board graphics. I know everything is plugged in right for the GPU. Any ideas?
Video won't output when graphics card plugged in

Typically the onboard graphics will be automatically disabled once you plug a discrete graphics card in.
Swap your monitor cable to the graphics card output and you should get a picture. Proceed from there.

I don't think I explained my question right. Let me rephrase it:
I have a new graphics card that I'm trying to install drivers for, so I have to use the on-board graphics but everytime I plug in the GPU so the driver software can recognize it, the on-board graphics don't display video.
Is it that the computer is using the GPU video, even though I want on-board GPU video?

As I explained above. When you installed the discrete graphics card, the onboard graphics are disabled; the graphics card provides the video signal. When the onboard graphics is disabled it means it is not providing a video signal. Plug the graphics card in, plug monitor cable to graphics card, boot up as normal and install drivers.
The question is why are you intent on outputting video through onboard graphics when you're installing a discrete graphics card? You could try forcing the option in BIOS by choosing onboard as the primary display, though it seems to defeat the usual purpose of having a discrete graphics card to me.
