Oh boy ...............
My computer had all kinds of weirdness happening with regards to the video, so I bought an overpriced video card to replace the one in it.
*Sigh* New release RTX 1050 Ti ... a card that was originally released oh ... 5 years ago. It's a good enough card for what I need, though. Cost me about $100 more than the card was sold for in its original iteration.
It took me about an hour, plus time watching several YouTube videos just to figure out how to release the card. I finally figured it out, and set about replacing the card.
I took the old one out, with only minimal (20 minutes) reaching the release clip under the card. OK .... this is all set now!
I went to put the new card in, and could not get it to seat. I must have looked at that darn thing for 2 hours. Finally I put it aside, and left it for today.
Today I looked at the card really closely. The card is entirely black, and there was a black sleeve over the part that inserts into the board. I completely missed it.
Funny how much easier it slid in there today.
Bad news is that the system won't even post. Ugh!
I don't know what's worse .... that the computer won't even post, or that I had to lift this monstrosity 6 or 7 times.
Oh well, time to buy another cheapie Dell server so I can just stick the SSD from my current system into it, and continue like nothing happened.
