How to remove stuck Graphics Card?

[Rob89]

Well i've got myself into a bit of a pickle. Recently built my first gaming pc. Graphics card was beeping and flashing red, so i left it in limbo for a while, then decided to try and sort it. Tried to pull it out but it just wouldn't come out.. then i remembered you're supposed to push down on the clip on the motherboard to release it, so it's now slanted at a slight angle and no matter how hard i push down on the clip (if i can get to it properly!) it wont budge. It's quite difficult to reach with only a narrow gap for my hand to get down between the GPU and the CPU cooler.

The GTX 1070 is very big, so where the arrow is pointing is the only part of the clip i can press, which is quite difficult.

So is there anyway i can get it out without doing damage, before i give up and take it down to PC World?

Well did you get it sorted?

Yes, after removing the CPU cooler and with a little help from my dad and a screwdriver (that someone mentioned above) it clicked out! No damage has been done that i can see. Thank you all for your suggestions

And i agree, they should remove those stupid clips in future builds.
