Appreciate the help. Yes Alienware Aurora R8. Cable didn't change during call. and I've since added a DP in addition to HDMI for both options F12 does nothing
Upon power-on the Alien logo on the front and the lights on the case light up, PS goes on but seems like no output from GPU
Seems like I need to do an external GPU BIOS load....Any tips from here?
You only need HDMI or DP cable. Input Options are in monitor's-menus itself.
Check and re-seat all cables whether they changed or not.
If you can't see any video or BIOS or F12 Boot-Menu ... sounds like maybe it is not Posting. There is really nothing Microsoft Rep could have done to computer while online to kill video-card or keep it from Posting.
WiFi driver had "device mismatch" so Microsoft Tech, which I pay for attempts to help me twice over chat and shared/controlled screen.
Been Tethering from my Android which I never do (PC is far from Router).
After some time, TMobile throttles Android to 600k d/l till end of month.
MS updates WiFi Driver while *also* selecting NVIDIA driver(~600MB).
Android loses connection.
Updates fail.
Now Aurora R8 has zero output HDMI or DP.
Aurora R8 is Out of Warranty due to finances and medical debt.
Any thing I can do from home?
Also have an older iMac I'm using right now.
Thank You
Check the physical connections between your monitor and the computer. Ensure that the cables are properly connected and that the monitor is receiving power.

I'm guessing you mean Alienware Aurora-R8 ?
Check all your cables and be sure monitor is set to Auto-Detect Input or proper Input.
Try pressing F12 on boot. See if you can get Aurora to Post and display initial BIOS screens. Do the ePSA Diagnostics (outside of Windows).
If that passes, try to enter Windows-10 via Safe-Mode.
If none of that works, tell your friend you will buy them pizza dinner and beer if they can drop-by and help you get back on-track.
