Good evening everyone,

I have a Dell XPS 8930 that shows only a black screen when I turn it on.  (Forgive me for not being very technical.)  I have searched forums and have done a few troubleshooting steps including Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B, without any effect.  I connected a television as a monitor and got the response "no signal.:  When I disconnected the original monitor, I got a message on the monitor that the monitor would shut down in 5 minutes.  The keyboard lights would change status when I keyed the Num Lock and Caps Lock key.  I used another computer on the same wifi to access the router and saw the XPS 8930 connected to the internet.  I had noticed that the computer got loud over the last few months.  My spouse confirmed that when he was editing photos that he noticed that there was a loud fan noise frequently lately.  Does this sound like a GPU that has gone bad?  If so, is there a GPU that I can buy and install that will fix this problem?  I read in these forums that if a GPU is not OEM that it might not work unless something is overridden.  Since I don't have a display, I won't be able to change settings.  Many thanks in advance to the gurus on this forum.
