Hello there,

I got my Desktop 8 months ago and got a NVIDIA GT 710 2GB ddr3 installed in it.

I am familiar with computer hardware and have upgraded it's RAM myself and it is working fine.

Recently i bought a new Graphics Card and would like to install it.

When i opened the case, i saw my old graphic card in the PCIe slot.

I tried to pull it out with enough force but it wouldn't come out.

FYI, there is no screws and locks in the case's brackets, its open .

I haven't applied more force thinking it might damage the card.

Please help me with the issue and if i should apply more force for it to come out.

A troubleshooting video will be appreciated.MotherboardMotherboard

Assuming you know about the lock on the slot but will mention it just in case.  There is a tab on the right end of the PCIx slot (as pictured) that needs to be depressed upwards as the picture is oriented, before the card will come out.
