The graphics card probably will need to be removed. I had that problem once. They go in and out easier than memory in most cases.
-Simply unscrew the mechanism that locks the jacks plate in place and most will just pull out.
-Some mobos will need for you to press down on similar locks like at the ends of the memory modules.
-Make sure the memory is seated properly with the tabs locked in the upright position on the memory modules.
-Replace the graphics card in the reverse order of steps you used to take it out. It will be recognized automatically by the computer like the memory should be.
If the tabs are not fully up, the memory might not be seated properly even if you apply a lot of pressure, because they will usually lever the memory modules up and out when pressed down. Make sure you try to stay in touch with the case to avoid static discharges that can ocassionally damage the memory and other electronics. Always unplug from the outlet.
