Those Alienware computers can be configured in many ways. More details on things like CPU/motherboard/videocard would be helpful.
By 'looking into bios' do you mean you booted in to the bios while using motherboard graphics and the videocard in the slot? And the bios doesn't see it? Or do you mean something else?
What do you mean you 'cleaned all around it'? Vacuum? Dusting? Using some kind of air blower to blow out dust?

Yes i booted into bios from mobo while they video card was in they slot.. i didn't see my graphic card in bios or in any other test like dell support or device manager but i did see it in hidden device manger but grayed out. i fallowed some other steps from other websites and videos i tried going into bios and setting my gpu to being they primary instead of my mobo. i tried following dell steps to delete passed driver and re downloading them but when that happens they driver cant detect a compatible gpu.

when i was cleaning i had picked up my pc and sprayed some dust cleaner and lightly shook it. i forgot to mention some water had spilled onto they top of they pc during an accident which is why i had to clean they pc with a cloth and spray duster. but everything but my gpu works fine. i did notice some strange screen flickers but it went away as long as i use only my mobo graphics. if i switch out to my gpu and back my mobo display will flicker but will eventually come through fine. also i can hear my gpu spinning every few seconds. im already prepared to buy a new graphics card im just wondering if that will fix my problem or if its something else.
thanks for answering quickly im sorry if im not being more detailed or if my sentence structure seems bad.
