8800 gt graphics card - how to remove

[oro2]

My graphics card has died, (coloured lines on screen and nv_4 error....)

Its a nvidia 8800gt, does anyone know how to get the card out, there must be a little lever or latch somewhere but i cant seem to find it!

thanks in advance

There is a lever to press to release the PCI-E slot.

Installing a PCI or PCIe Card

1	PCIe x16 card	2	release lever, securing tab (for PCIe cards)
3	PCIe x16 card slot	4	PCIe x1 card
5	PCIe x1 card slot

Hi i cant see any sort of lever at all, is it possible dell broke it when they initially installed it. Or is there any other sort of mechanism on some motherboards other then a lever?!

thanks again

A lot of the time the lever is very small and is hidden by the graphics card itself.

You will have to reach under and press the tab to get the card out. It wont be visible directly above.
