[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 920162, member: 56379"] As far as the You-Tube video...I didn't realize what other computer you were working off of. As far as screw on the video card...the screw is located on the far right of the video card (if you're facing the inside of the computer). Just follow the top edge of the video card till you get to the rear of the computer & you should see a screw. It's right there, easy to see. Regarding reseating the video card...and why. No particular explanation, sometimes doing it helps, and sometimes not...you're having video problems, so this is a good place to look. All I'm saying at this point is reseat the video card, remove the new hard drive, install the old hard drive...and see if this gets everything working again...like you mentioned that last Thursday everything was working. - Nick [/QUOTE]
