No Signal on Dell XPS 8300, Fixing my Graphics Card (and some rambling)
16No signal to my monitor even after restarting the PC, unplugging and replugging the HDMI, unplugging and replugging the PC power. Wasn't sure if my old graphics card was dead so here's me troubleshooting, trying to avoid a situation where I'd need to buy extra stuff to get my old data off the hard drives. Sorry nerds, once again you're not gonna like how I treat this 10yo machine but I genuinely don't care :p
Note: I'm not a tech person, I just know how to Google things when I wanna fix them. This isn't really a tutorial.
