How to Install the New Video Card in Computer.

1. Unplug the computer from the main supply. Don't just turn off the PC.

2. Locate and identify the old video card. When you open the computer case you'll see that the monitor jack physically plugs into the video card. This is a good visual cue to pick the video card out from the other components inside.The "back" of a typical video card, where the monitor and other devices plug into it.

 

3. Remove the case. Computer cases are held on with screws tightened to the frame, clasps, or both. The case is fastened at the edges with either screws, clasps, or both.

4. Locate and identify the old video card, and unplug the monitor jack from the back of the computer. You may want to line up what you see inside the computer with the monitor jack on the outside.

5. Unscrew the video card from the computer frame. The video card is usually held to the frame by at least one screw, and possibly a plastic clasp at the base of the card. Unscrew the video card from the frame.

6. Put the video card into the motherboard slot. Make sure the card is right side upâ€"usually the screw hole where the card joins the frame is the easiest visual cue to follow. Insert the card straight into the slot. Insert the new video card in the same slot.

7. Screw the video card to the computer frame. Make sure the card, frame, and motherboard do not warp or flex while tighteningâ€"set the screw barely tighter than you can get it with your fingers and leave it. Connect the monitor and any other peripherals, close the case, and reconnect the power supply. Consult your documentation if you're having trouble connecting any other peripherals. At this point, you're ready to boot the computer and install the drivers
