    Hey man I just went through a hard time with my dad and we are no longer talking. He was my main pc guy but thanks to this vid and the other telling me how to put cards in when I buy a better graphics card I can finally put it in without his help

    Every desktop case has its own GPU removal technique. It depends on what case you have. You might need a screwdriver or you might not need.

    Me at first: *scared of breaking my gpu*
    a few seconds later: Searches for a video and starts watching this and then realizing it wasn’t as risky as I thought it would’ve been
    Me after attempting it: literally breaks the clip from the pcie slot

    If you're not savvy, like me, you are taking a MAJOR risk with this. The parts inside a PC are sometimes very difficult to turn, move, plug in, etc. I got my GPUs out and only then realized I didn't have the right tool to get the parts off the get to the fan. Once I realized I wasted my time, I had a nearly impossible time getting the GPUs back in.

    I thank you so much. I have known my Graphics Card had trouble for about 4 years. Being afraid, and not wanting to spend the big bucks to buy a new one, as well as not knowing how to remove it well, also not damage anything in the process. Well finally it won't populate the monitor in over 36 hrs so it's on the fritz. I can take out the Card from another PC that is also a gaming type and will follow up with more help to see if just putting in the "newer" one will save me.

    Thank You, this helped Me get my USB Drives working. This Custom LENOVO came with a screw holding the graphics card in that is (so conveniently) tucked behind a metal flap, so its basically impossible to unscrew unless You have the worlds tiniest screwdriver. I lifted the graphics card best I could and squeezed the USB power plug in behind it into the slot and vwalla , the front slots work now.

    I forgot about the lever on the pci express bus. The card was in there for 11 years. I pulled the card out, and the pci express bus snapped like a cracker. It didn't even take much effort. Buses didn't have levers in the many PCs I built in the 90s and early 2000s so I couldn't imagine anything like this happening. I should have watched your video. My question is, since my motherboard has a second slot (as a feature for dual sli) can I use that other slot? Guess I'll try and see. But curious what dangers can arise from a motherboard with one broken pci slot?

    • @reyarqueza7627
      @reyarqueza7627 2 роки тому

      I used the 2nd (last) pci slot and put back in the old video card and put electric tape to cover the broken pci slot. I leave a fire extinguisher in the room and never leave the PC on if I'm not using it. I should probably throw out the motherboard and sell the ram, and video card and rebuild.

      My gtx750ti used to do that. The reason was that the metal part that faces the outside was bent and didn't go in the right spot between motherboard and pc case. I was able to fiddle it in but was very worried about scratching the motherboard. Seemed to not be a problem on the end in my case. I should have bent it instead though
