I have a dell inspiron 620. Bought a Powercolor 6570. Stuck it in my PCI slot fits perfectly snug. Plug computer back in. All fans including GPU fan kicks on and orange light on motherboard is on. But that's as far as it goes. At this point if I push the power button one time real quick it powers off. It has a 300w psu and the dell people say that's more than enough to run this weak card.
I updated my bios (was 6 versions out of date lol)
Tried unplugging a stick of ram, and second fan (as to relieve a little power)
Tried uninstalling integrated graphics.
My bios has no option to enable the PCI slots. Supposed to be automatic
Everything I've read online I have tried. None of it worked. I am obviously really annoyed. I know it's not the best card but it is gona be fine for what I need it for. Seems nothing ever works in my favor when it comes to this stuff.
