It's fine connecting and disconnecting things. I wouldn't worry about that. Only if you are actually moving the pc.

I do have to turn it gently on the shelf it's on to get at the ports.

I'll keep it in mind it's not a great thing to do while the PC is running in future.

I left the PC for about 10 minutes today and when I return the screen was a green tint.

I checked the HDMI cable, restarted and everything is fine.

Is this another indication that the mobo may need replacing?
