How do I explain that installing a video card isn't scary?

My mother is afraid of me installing a EVGA GeForce GT220 Video Card because she's afraid of me "messing up our computer".



Can somebody help me?|||Tell her about your knowledge and how it can't mess up the computer since you know what you are doing. Tell her you wouldn't be doing it if you knew you didn't know how to do it and that it would mess up the computer.



good luck.|||She may have a point, make sure your computer can handle this Video Card well or something may go bad, Upgrading something doesn't mean your computer can take it. But once you're sure your computer can handle it; then it's simply nothing if you know what you're doing. It won't mess up your computer again if your computer can handle it. Installing a new video card is pretty much a common process most people do.|||In what way...?



Its simple if you know what to do, and it doesnt take much to learn.



Unplug your pc, place it atop a non metal surface (wooden table etc...), open the side panel by removing the two screws on the back, tough the inside of the case where unpainted metal is exposed (this discharges you of static electricity, protecting your components), unscrew and unplug your existing graphics card, remove, insert knew one into same slot, plug in and screw in, return side panel, plug in, install drivers from http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html



Hot to trot.



Just tell her to read these posts
