Solution
1. Completely shut down your machine and disconnect the power cable
2. Open the Side panel
3. Disconnect the power cables from the GPU
4. While holding the video card, unscrew the mounting screw from the side of the case.
5. On the PCI E Slot in which the card is slotted undo the latch on the far side.
6. Grip the sides or any area with the cooler module or back plate and gently pull the card toward you and out of the slot.
