Jump to PostYou will need to disable the on-board graphic card in your BIOS. Only then can your motherboard detect new graphic card.

Dell... typical.
If you can find out which motherboard you have on your hands (and you won't get that from Dell's support) you might find BIOS to flash, but that should be your LAST resort. That would transform your Dell PC to regular PC.
My advice is to give Dell some hard time and pull their sleeve to help you on this.
