10€ Steam for Help🔥🔥

Hi,

I just wanted to play Valorant, but my PC (Dell Optiplex 3050) GPU (Radeon 6400lp) gave an error message. Then I saw on YouTube that you should change something in the BIOS and it would work. I did that, but the PC got stuck in a boot loop on a blank screen for 5 hours, so I performed a reset by removing the motherboard battery.

When I tried to start it normally with the GPU again, there was no display. I then tried the iGPU, but it didn’t work either. Eventually, I had the idea to remove the GPU from the PC. Then the iGPU worked. One could assume a short circuit, but it had been working perfectly before.

I then switched the BIOS to legacy (otherwise it was UEFI). After that, the GPU showed a display, but only the BIOS; it couldn’t detect the operating system. This means the GPU is still fine.

It might be important to mention that I bought the PC used in very good condition two months ago. The person I bought it from used Rufus to install Windows 11 Pro and told me that they had changed some settings at the beginning so that the GPU would be recognized. I suspect that I deleted these settings when I reset the battery.

The person who ultimately helps me will get a €10 Steam voucher.
