You shouldn't disconnect anything in side the case when the box is on.

A little thing called electricity.

Not to mention it could seriously fuck up the mother board.....

If you're lucky, that's all that will happen. Most likely, something will fry (and maybe yourself, depending on what you're touching).

IOW, NEVER EVER disconnect or connect anything while the power is on. PERIOD. It's a very very bad idea.

yeah thats what i though. But i had a bad mobo once and sometimes the harddrive wouldnt detect, so I would have to connect and disconnect it to get it to register.

disconnect/reconnect the power??


the IDE cable, i could see possibly but still dangerous - screwing with a PCI card while the machine is on will most likely fry your motherboard and possibly your CPU/RAM/HD at the same time.

thats what i was thinking about as well, doing it at the PS is not that dangerous/harmful... but doing it at the component level could send a charge back and burn everything connected to it.

Don't know about taking it out, but sticking it back in will definately fry something.

Your thread title suggests you were asking if you can pull a PCI card out of it's slot on the mother board while it's running.

Dont do that.

If your cdrom and/or harddrive controller is that flaky, then maybe your problem is related to the seating of the PCI card. But turn the shit off and wait a minute before you yank it out. Blow the dust out, and reseat it, lol.

Can't believe somebody would have to ask this question. Its like saying: "Should I plug the toaster in to make toast"

you can protect yourself by dipping your hands in a saline solution first.
