1. see anywhere in the BIOS that I can turn on or off the external GPU.
1. No, there is no such setting.
2. Did you try it in both/either slots ?
- Do you have the 850w Power-Supply ?
- Is the GPU-PWR cable still connected to the motherboard ?
- Did you connect any required PCIe-Power-Cables to the video-card itself?
3. The Internet says that is a Workstation-class video-card. While I suppose it should work, it is not a gaming-class card or one that anyone would every try in a machine like this.
@Russ666 showing the PCI ports as being fine and even seeing something installed in whichever port the GPU is plugged into,
Humm, did you remember to go over to amd.com and install the drivers for your GPU? Under device manager, display adapters you can uninstall whatever is currently driving it, and thereafter install the AMD specific drivers.
Hi thankyou so much. My original card died after I found my youngest kid with the side off of the computer. I didn't know there was a seperate power cable plugging onto the motherboard for the GPU. I imagine there was nothing wrong with the original card now. I've spent an hour on the phone with customer services I'm annoyed with them for not mentionig this but much more annoyed with myself for not noticing.
I was also confused about the recomendation of this graphics card but out of ideas I bought what they said to buy?
Thanks so much I thought I tried everything, obv's not.

NON DELL cards will require SECURE BOOT OFF before drivers will install.
