8600gt won't leave the motherboard

as you can see i have a HP m9250f

and i can't seem to take out the 8600gt, i've unscrewed the screw, tried yanking it out so many times and i found a mini lever on the back, i tried that but it still wouldn't budge

does anyone know how i can take it out?

btw the motherboard is ASUS IPIBL-LB

that's what i did but it still won't budge

here's a photo of my motherboard

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc [...] c01324212#

you see that PCI E black line there, and there seems to be a mini black lever, is that it?

i've tried pulling it up and down which way is it?

ok so basically my desktop is laying on it's side, and only the right side opens up, kinda the opposite to other computers so the pwoer supply is on the top right of the desktop and graphic card is under it so you probably understand now

ok the clamp only goes up and down that's it, no matter how hard i try, it won't budge, i tried looking at some youtube videos, those were way too easy, i'm trying to copy them but with no such luck

it's suppose to be easy, i don't know why it's not coming out

i wasted like 5 hours on this

if you have any information please share

You've probably checked but at the back of the case is it screwed down? (i.e DVI/DSUB end of the card) If so remove that screw. Otherwise some cards and boards are grippier than others. have you tried wiggling it end to end as you pull (not side to side).

@ edeawillrule

that's exactly what i've been doing, maybe i've said it wrong but that's what i was talking about, i was tlaking about it going up and down probably my case was standing up, i tried bending it all the way to the left, all the way to the right, but with no such luck

but i'll try harder to see if there's another problem

but for the meantime, you know at the back of the graphics card, you know how there are hdmi, and vga plugs that go into that graphic card and they're usually in this silver/chrome colour and sortof rectangular shaped

do they have anything that's holding on to the graphics card?

plz and thank you

9 in total

hope it helps

by the way the last 2 shows one with a screw and one without

i'm pretty sure of it

it's a 8600gt

but it's a one i've never seen before

give me an example of how much force you would use to pull it out

it's really pissing me off this thing

quick question, am i suppose to take out this screw?

i'm thinking it'ss the main problem cause it's right beside the video card, TV tuner etc

ok i found out the problem, you see that screw that i didn't take out?

that was the problem, it's blocking the video card

thx for your help people
