I replaced the stock psu on my Dell Inspiron 620 i5 with a 600w power supply, and I updated the BIOS to the latest version available from Dell. The computer boots and runs fine with the new psu using the existing integrated graphics vga port. There are no video options anywhere in the BIOS.
I bought a XFX R7 260x so we can run some games. It fits the 620 tower fine, and the psu has 6 pin PCIe. The problem is the computer won't boot with the new graphics card installed. It never even gets to BIOS. I have tried 3 different monitors including one with a DVI input. Nothing seems to be working.
I've read hundreds of threads here, and also at the Dell Support site but have not found much in terms of solutions. I am starting to think it's a compatibility issue. Any thoughts on what else to try?
