when moving your PC...
... bear in mind that one should always screw in the graphics card before exerting any pressure on the monitor cable. Failure to do so will result in the ohshit smell of crispy fried motherboard as the card rips itself from its socket. Particularly refrain from doing this at 2am with a head full of gin. An epic fail on my part,particularly as I fix the blasted things for a living.

Along similar lines.
Always ensure you have plugged both the PCIE power connectors into your new graphics card before you switch on the PC. It was, after all, the reason you upgraded your PSU in the first place.
