[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 15880142, member: 82394"] So I got an older desktop computer from work for free and figured I'd use it as a spare. It's a Dell Vostro 460 with an i5 and 10 GB of RAM running Windows 7 professional. The onboard graphics are pretty weak so I bought a new video card for it, an XFX Radeon RX580 - [URL]https://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-amd-radeon-rx-580-8gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card-black/6092641.p?skuId=6092641[/URL] I upgraded the power supply from the stock 350W to a 500W (which is required for the card) and the computer works with the new power supply. The problem is that when I install the video card and plug in my HDMI cable I get nothing on the screen, however, the fans on the card are running and a blue light is on. With the card installed I try the onboard graphics and that doesn't work either. I pull the card out and the computer works with the onboard graphics. I tried disabling the onboard graphics and installing the card and still no signal. I took the CMOS battery out of the motherboard for a few hours and tried again and still no signal. I checked on the box of the card and it says it supports windows 7 and requires an X16 PCI-E slot. Well the motherboard is a 0Y2MRG and it has an X16 PCI-e slot - [URL]http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-0y2mrg-dell/[/URL] Went into the BIOs and there is nothing to do with video/display in there. Tried updating the BIOs and the computer has the latest version. I'm pretty lost here so if anyone can help out I'd appreciate it. If someone can confirm that the computer is just too old to run that card that would be fine, I'll just return the card and get an older one but everything that I am seeing shows it should be able to run the card.
