I am worried. When a friend connected up his new TFT it 'blew' his graphics card and he is having to get a new graphics card for his pc. What precautions should I take when I connect my new TFT? I do not have the funds to buy a new card. :-((

Make sure that the computer is completely turned off.

You friend's graphics card was either defective or just old enough to be ready to break. Merely connecting a TFT is not dangerous in any way whatsoever!

There are a couple of brands of tft which use a power adapter connected directly to the output block of the svga lead (graphics card connection), let me know what brand of monitor you have.

You shouldn't have any problem, your friend was very unlucky - if you want to be on the safe side though make sure your computer is unplugged when you connect the cables
