Be Excellent To Each Other

My PC is acting up a bit, gonna get it looked at.

However, the warranty doesn't cover the graphics card I added.

How do I go about removing a graphics card and then making it look like it was never there in the first place (like drivers and stuff)

You don't.

You can uninstall most graphics card drivers using the Add Remove Programs control panel app, as if it were a program, but the uninstallation program usually leaves stuff behind. (Nothing that computer-unknown joe would care about, but enough that a thorough directed search would find it. There's probably also a log of both the installation and uninstallation.)

Alternatively, you can load the Restore Point from before you installed the graphics card.

You invalidated the warranty once you opened the case up.

I thought that'd been proven to not hold up under legal scrutiny?

I though about that, but there is no way of telling it has been opened. Normally they have tabs that break when the case is opened.

Actually, I remembered, it's not a warranty, it's insurance, and it was bloody expensive, should this make a difference?

No, he didn't.

Of course he didn't. I had an Advent last year that I completely stripped and recased and they still replaced the faulty HDD. Engineer came to the house (which I thought was fucking awesome, didn't know PC world chucked in free onsite !) and I just handed him the busted HDD and he gave me a brand new one

When my dad has a busted hard drive they offered to do that or if he wanted it quickly they'd send out the drive now and he could send the busted one back himself

They almost did that, but I think the fact I had stripped it down made them want to see it themselves to verify I still had the Advent and wasn't trying to pull a Frito the bandito number on they asses.
