TIENE LA FUENTE ORIGINAL, LA PC CUENTA CON DVD-RW, 3 DISCOS RIGIDOS, PUEDE SER PROBLEMA DE ALIMENTACION?

My issue is that my video card is dead after 4 years and I need a replacement just as good, or better, for under $100. At first, I thought it was easy. Ordered a GT 730, a nice entry level card a bit better than the 5670 and more power efficent, and went through the process of installing it. Uninstalled AMD drivers, switch video cards and it fit perfectly. The problem is I just get a black screen on boot or, sometimes, the Dell splash screen.

After hours researching I discovered it won't work because the motherboard, 0y2mrg, and it's bios, A06, are incompatible with newer GPUs. Seriously? Rarely have I ever heard of this problem. The last update was back in 2011, the same year I got this PC when it was new. What the hell is with the lack of support?
