Video nvidea geoforce 7600 graphics card,how do you replace it please

Turn off power and remove power lead. Remove side panel, locate the securing screw/s and remove. The graphics card should be easy to remove now ( there may be a locking switch on the rear of the card.) Don't forget to disconnect the monitor lead/s before attepmting to remove the card. Good luck and welcome to the world of computer repairs.

Replacing a Desktop's Graphics Card

In order to replace your Graphics card, you will need:<br /><br />A screwdriver that fits the bolts of the casing of your computer<br />A new Graphics Card that is compartible to your Motherboard<br />And computer knowledge.<br /><br />Start by removing drivers of your old Graphics card, by starting up the Device Manager from the Control Panel. Expand "Display Adapters", and double click on your Graphics card. On the Driver tab of the window that opens, click Uninstal, and follow the installshield wizard (could be automatic or might be another wizard).<br /><br />After your Drivers are removed, shut down your computer, and remove the cable from your PSU. Make sure that your computer is not connected to anything that provides power to it.<br /><br />-You might want to use insulating gloves for this task-<br /><br />Start by removing one of the sides of the casing by unscrewing the bolts. It should be fairly easy to understand how to remove it after the bolts are removed. <br /><br />When looking at your motherboard, your graphics card should be placed near the back of your computer. If you are unsure which card(if there are many) is the old Graphics Card, see where the Monitor's cable goes in.<br />Carefully unscrew any bolts that are used to lock your graphics card on the computer casing.<br /><br />After that is done, remove all cables attached to your graphics card from inside the computer, and then carefully pull the Graphics Card out, making sure that your card is safe. After that is done, place your new Graphics card in the slot of your old one, and connect any wires connected to it(if needed).<br /><br />Then do all the things you did to your computer backwards.<br /><br />After your graphics card is ready and installed, start up your computer and insert it's manufacturer's disc. If you do not have a disc, look up on the internet.<br /><br />Install the drivers, and it's ready for use.<br /><br />

My EVGA 780i will not post after installing a new heat sink. No post codes, no beeps. I have three LED lights on the mobo that are lit. Green, yellow, and blue. I have tried reseating ram, trying 1...

hi mate, here is a few things to try btw i hope you used thermal paste when you replaced the GPU heatsink as if you boot with out the thermal paste there always a chance if you didnt that the gpu got hot fried in a few seconds ( i have seen it happen)

1) remove the graphics card and clean the motherboard socket it plugs into with a paint brush i noticed you did try a alternate slot but there still could be debris in the primary graphics slot causing a problem ( alot of the time dust from the cpu fan builds up on the graphics card slot and when you remove the card and put it back in the dust or debris gets pushed into the graphics socket on the motherboard )

2) while the graphics card is removed use a cotton tip dipped in isopropyl alcohol or metholated spirits if you cannot get isopropyl alcohol and clean the gold connectors on the graphics card where the card plugs into the motherboard

3) perform the same above 2 steps on the ram dimms and the ram slots incase there is debris or dust there

4) see if your pc has a onboard graphics port and try removing the graphics card and running the pc off the onboard graphics only if it works from the onboard graphics then you at least know its the graphics card and not the ram or board, if the onboard display doesn't work when the graphics card is removed then the problem is likely in the motherboard

5) test you motherboard encase its broken - remove you graphics card and the ram sticks and turn your pc on, it should beep loudly at you-
- if it beeps the board is generally fine
- if it doesnt beep when the ram and other cards are removed then it could be the motherboard


other then that your limited as to being able to test further unless have a second pc to test the card in or a second card to test in your main pc,

Hello i want to know what the difference between an integrated video card and a dedicated video card, which has more capacity and what is best for play the latest games

Integrated generally means it is part of the motherboard and not a removable card. Integrated can also mean a card that does multiple tasks like Graphics & Modem & Printer. Dedicated would indicate a removable card that does only graphics and not other tasks. A dedicated graphics card would almost always work better. They have more capacity and work faster.

You can add a graphics card to pretty much any newer computer fairly easily now days. Check your computer manual to be sure what type of video card you will be able to use.

Graphics card removal

Unplug your computer, open the CPU and remove the old graphics card (the one where you attach your monitor cable) and replace with your new graphics card. Handle the card by the edges and avoid touching the sensitive electrical components. Insert it fully to the card slot (a loose video card will prevent your monitor from working). Once the computer prompts you that you need the driver for it, just insert the CD that comes with the model of your new graphics card and follow the directions.
