I’ve just attempted to use a VGA to DVI-D converter and got the same results. My monitor does not have a slot for HDMI and I have tried a normal DVI-D connection as it does have a port for one... but my monitor has never read it. Do newer video cards no longer support VGA? Not saying that could be the issue but if it is that means I would need to get a new monitor

@Ryujin2003 Had something happen, left the computer on for about 14 minutes and its stopped beeping. The monitor’s display has gone black, and the LED power indicator is blinking. Thinking about it im using a VGA to HDMI converter, perhaps that is causing a problem?

No dice, still the same problem

I haven’t tried that, let me give it a shot and I’ll be back with an update on how it wen’t

I recently upgraded my Alienware x51 R1’s Graphics card to a PNY GTX 1050ti. After installing the hardware and plugging my monitor into the drive it boots to this screen (see attached image) and then stays frozen on it, any keyboard inputs are met with clicks from the computer. The computer also makes a single periodic beep. My Computer: Its BIOS is currently at A03 (attemps to update are met with “Restart Application” error) My OS is Windows 10 Home 64bit I have an i7-3770 Processor 330w Power Supply 8GB Total RAM I have attempted to reset the BIOS/CMOS using Dell’s instructions ( http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/sln284985/how-to-perform-a-bios-or-cmos-reset-and-or-clear-the-nvram-on-your-dell-system?lang=en ) but have not been successful due to not understanding the instructions. (Keep getting confused at step 6) Have tried the “normal” way by switching one jumper to pins 2 and 3 then back, and then both jumpers when that didn’t work. I have tried just about everything I can think of except taking off the battery, although I can’t tell wether its able to be put back in place or not which is what has kept me from doing so. (Pictures of both battery and jumpers provided) My computer boots just fine when I used my previous Graphics Card. Ive been stuck on this for about 2 days now and have been unable to find anything related to my problem. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read.
