    The screws to my graphics cards out are so tight I can't even budge them! (the screws are awkwardly placed near where the case sticks out a bit, so I can't get much force to the screws) So I'm not sure how I'l be able to get the cards out.

    I've ran 'sfc /scannow', but I've forgotten how to keep the window from disappearing so I can see the results of it (is it supposed to take a while to scan whatever? It just pops up and off almost in the blink of an eye.)

    My computer is fully backed up, ready to install 64-bit Windows 7. Shall I just leave the graphics cards for now? I could always try another time, after I've installed 64-bit Win 7?
    open up a command line window first as an administrator: "cmd", right-click, run as admin, then run "sfc /scannow".

    Thanks a lot; it says "windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"

    Should I install 64-bit Windows 7 now (and sort out the graphics card later)?

    That's your call. A clean slate wouldn't hurt. If nobody else has any protests?
