I installeda a new Graphics Card without removing my old one and now the new ones fan

is directly beside the old one. Can this cause a problem? I imagine it would decrease air circulation but I don't know what to do.

I bet something along the lines of removing the old one would be a good idea.

Wait, are you talking about Crossfire/SLI? If so, the two cards have to be the same.

No I just don't know how to remove it. I shall try again alter tonight I guess. But there is a cord going into it and I don't know how to remove it. If I find a way is it safe to leave it there not connected to anything?

No you need to take it out because it will still be getting power

Heres an idea. got a digital camera? or at least access to one? Take a picture of it and we might be able to help more.

Maybe a couple of pictures from different angles.

Cord = power cable? You can just pull those out most of the time and as long as it is not touching anything, it's ok.

PCI card under an AGP/PCI-E slot?

Get rid of the old one. Get pics. Learn to work on your fucking computer before you fucking fuck with it, it would save you a huge fucking headache.

Yeah I do. I'm going to take my computer apart once again. If I can't figure it out I'll take some pics.
