Problems with computer

MSI GPUs have 3 years of warranty. Bring to corbell for them to check?

Sent from a mere cat using GAGT

Things is I'm a noob when it comes to computers. I'm scared of damaging it when I take out the gpu. I guess there is no other way then bringing it to Nigel for repair? Will wipe the dust off first to see how it goes

Really is not that hard. Off power, unplug from socket so no power. Your hand touch casing metal to discharge, unscrew the 2 screw for graphic card. Push the lever to release the card from motherboard. There should youtube video on these

Just an update, the right side of my screen is filled with a red tint now. It appeared out of a sudden. Restarting the computer doesn`t help at all. Sighhh.....

Yes you can, your cpu comes with intergrated gfx, but you have to connect the monitor cable to the video port of the motherboard. Look up your motherboard manual which is the appropriate port
