I recently took my video card to clean and i have put it back in and put all the plugs back properly and the monitor is now asking for a boot device... What do I do????
Check the cables that connect your hard drives to the motherboard

Yup, ive done that, now im running off the inbuilt graphics.
If it's asking for a boot devide, it's obvious that it can't load windows and not the graphic card.
If you however are sure it's the graphic card's fault, look for any connectors on the graphic card, usally it requires 6 or 8 power inputs, in a square of 2x3, or 2x4 below each other.

I put the card back in the same as it was before and now its screwed but i did touch the little connector pins when i took it out.
Go into the bios and select the right boot device, one of you're hard drives with the OS on it.

Ok thanks, will i have to have the plugged into because when i have it plugged in, the monitor remains blank
It has nothing to do with the graphics card. Put it back in.
If you have your monitor plugged into the graphics card, the graphics card is inserted and you are seeing text on the screen then it is not your graphics card. If its asking for a boot device most likely you knocked a cable to your hard drive, or your bios has selected something else as its primary boot device.
Check cables and enter bios to check settings. If all that fails, check if you can actually hear the hard drive on? Maybe its just had its time..

I've opened my computer up and my HDD cables are plugged it correctly. I have plugged the cable into my graphics card and nothing comes up. If it does i'll post.
