X51 R1, GPU crash computer?

Question

Note: I bought this computer used from a friend. I do know that the only non-original parts are the two ddr3 ram sticks.  Yesterday night, I booted up a game with a buddy of mine and the computer crashed. This morning I diagnosed it to the NVidia Geforce 645 Gtx being the cause.  It works as follows: 1.There  is nothing wrong with the computer without the adaptor or graphics card. 2. There is nothing wrong with the computer with adaptor without gpu  3.When  the gpu is inserted, the computer goes into a quasi sleep mode, where the power light is on, but there is no activity when attempting to turn on. Any ideas on a fix?

GPU is dead.If you have a 330W power brick a 1050TI Mini from Zotac will work fine and be much faster than the 645.https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-330-watt-ac-adapter-with-6-ft-power-cord/apd/332-1432/pc-accessories https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-DisplayPort-128-bit-ZT-P10510A-10L/dp/B01MCU1ERO/Not every 1050 TI fits. The Zotac card works without issue.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUOrnp2PjK4
