RX 580 on Dell Vostro 260
I have a Dell Vostro 260 and a used MSI Armor RX 580, and when I plugged it in and turned it on, there was no display, and the monitor light didn't change, but the fans were spinning. Is it incompatible or do I have to download something?

The RX 580 is 185w, requires a 1x8-pin connection (can't just be skipped), and is too much for a 250w PSU.

It should work. If by chance it doesn't, turn off Secure Boot in BIOS and Legacy Option ROMS on.

@bradthetechnut How do I turn off Secure Boot in BIOS and Legacy Option ROMS? I don't see the options in bios. I have bios version A10.

Your BIOS has light blue screen, right? And not the somewhat darker blue screen.
Legacy Option ROMS:
Secure Boot:

Keep in mind there might be some bottleneck involved, especially a new GPU on an older system. I don't know what you have for a CPU, so I used i5-2400. PC Builds 33.9% Bottleneck

If you BIOS looks like this (screengrab), then it's Legacy BIOS with no Secure Boot anyway. I don't know if an RX 580 can work with Legacy BIOS. Online comments seemed to go both ways.
By the way if this isn't your BIOS, then I'm not familiar with your BIOS and you may have to do some Googling.

Do you have UEFI BIOS? If not, then there's no Secure Boot.

Hi @redxps630 - If you don't mind me tagging you in, will an RX 580 work with Aptio setup utility american megatrends 2010 BIOS?

Brad has summoned me to help…
Vostro 260 bios is legacy only. No UEFI, no secure boot. the manual tells you.User benchmark has nobody upload RX580 in Vostro 260.
in the interest of time, these are my suggestions:
1. Test RX 580 in another desktop pc if possible
2. replace vostro 260 battery w a new one and clear CMOs settings via mobo jumper
3. if still no video, connect video cable to onboard video port (VGA) to confirm pc can POST, with RX580 installed, boot into Windows and enter dev mgr to look for presence of display adapter in addition to HD2000 (the integrated adapter of i7-2600). It will not say RX but it should list a second adapter of some sort. If none other than HD, the RX firmware is not detected.
