Troubleshooting Steps

If your PC is turning on but you don’t see anything on your monitor, try these steps:

• Make sure your display cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.) is securely connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard.
• If possible, test both the HDMI and DisplayPort connections on your graphics card.
• Make sure your monitor is set to the correct input (e.g., HDMI or DisplayPort). If your monitor has an "Auto-Detect" feature, ensure it’s enabled.
• Try using a different display cable to rule out cable issues.
• If you have access to another monitor, connect it to check if the issue is with your monitor.

1. Loosen the GPU Cover:
   • Unscrew the GPU cover tab (circled in the image) at the back of the PC.
   • Slide the cover to the right to remove it.

2. Remove the Two Screws Securing the GPU:
   • Unscrew the two screws (highlighted in the image) holding the GPU in place.
   • Keep the screws in a safe place, as you'll need them later to reinstall the GPU.

3. Unplug the Video Card
   • Locate the power cable connected to the graphics card (shown in the image).
   • Press down on the latch and gently pull the cable out to disconnect it.

4. Push back the release latch to release the GPU from the locked state.
   • Find the PCIe release latch near the base of the graphics card (circled in the image).
   • Push the latch down (or to the side, depending on your motherboard model) to unlock the GPU.

5. Remove the GPU
   • Carefully pull the GPU out of the PCIe slot.
   • You shouldn’t need to use much force—gently wiggle it out if needed to avoid damaging the slot or GPU.

6. Test with Integrated Graphics
   • Plug your monitor’s HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the motherboard (highlighted in the image).
   • Turn on the PC and check if it displays output using the integrated graphics.
