You are wrong thinking that it’s right.

I would literally rather die than go to one of your prisons. I have clinical depression, all my friends know that trying to involuntarily hold me would not end well. Once was enough.

Oh and check the bios for options related to default GPU. Dells definitely have this option.

I hate to even ask, but you are plugging your video cable into the video card and not the onboard integrated graphics I hope?

Strip it down to a minimum. If it’s got two sticks of ram, make it one. Unplug all drives, remove nvme if it’s on the board. Unplug everything but a simple USB keyboard.

Check it boots. Yeah? Pop your GPU in. Does it boot? No?

Do you get fan spin? Does the board have an indicator light, or is it like a dell where failure to post will (hopefully) blink the power light in a coffee sequence? Does it just power right back off?

What wattage is the PSU, and how much extra load does this dgpu put on it?

If it DOES boot with minimal hardware plus the GPU, put one thing back at a time till you find the culprit.

I’d also suggest logging into a live os of some sort, and running lspci -vv and seeing if the card shows up correctly, be it in the x4 or x16 slot. Id also suggest trying any other x16 pcie card you’ve got lying around, and checking it functions.

If the GPU has two (or more)outputs, did you try each?

Frankly I don’t recall. They dropped on us they were self insuring with like two weeks of open enrollment left, I made a snap choice and bought my plan on the “marketplace”.

Ok well, it’s my life and it works for me, I have health issues that make living to a high age an unlikely proposition, and the chances I’d lose everything to medical costs anyways extremely likely.

I make between 60-100k a year, (sorry, I know that’s a wide range, but I rather not be specific) and I can’t afford insurance worth having. The only plans without a 10k out of my pocket before they cover anything at all started at $450/ month. I ended up with a plan that covers nothing until I spend like 5 grand out of pocket. Just shy of $300/mo.

But, I live in a red state, so maybe you’re not wrong. Private Insurance for healthcare is still an assinine idea in general high.

Your friend just hasn’t gotten bitten yet. You could have a million in the bank, cash, get sick and burn it up in no time. I blow basically every dollar I make because I think you’d have to be an idiot to grind and save up, unless you’re really wealthy, it can all go poof in an instant thru no fault of your own.

I ain’t suffering for the chance I might get to stop working now. I’ll enjoy my scraps now, and when it gets too be too much, I’ll paint the ceiling red.

It can even impact being hired for jobs. Low credit score? You might be untrustworthy or motivated to steal
