Vostro 460 i5, 8 mb ram, 600 watt PS
I have tried to install three different graphic cards, all I get is a black ( no signal ) on my monitor. A Dell AMD Radeon R5 240 1GB card, A Geforce GTX 560 2GB card and a MSI RX 380 4GB card. Once I remove the cards and reconnect my onboard it works fine. I have found nothing in the bios to change that would help, and have installed the proper drivers for each card. This is not my gaming system , I built it myself works great, just trying to give this thing some help and have never ran into this type of problem installing a simple graphics card...anyone ?

It is reported that 460 works with RX570 and 460 bios looks like legacy not UEFI. So this is not an issue of too new gpu not compatible w bios, or secure boot by bios. When your video card is installed, do you still get video signal from iGPU (vga or hdmi)? If yes that would suggest card is not detected by system thus it still chooses iGPU. Normally system should automatically disable iGPU when dGPU is detected (whether or not the discrete video card is successful sending video signal out).

somehow your bios is rejecting both AMD cards. If the Nvidia card shows sketchy video have you tried download the driver from Nvidia (or let Windows look for it on internet and automatically download in driver update)?

I downloaded the proper driver from Nvidea , but it has to be a software problem with the Geforce card since the system recognizes it

Hi Thordog60:
You might want to check out this post:

I was able to install a GTX 1650 on a Vostro 460 - but you have to trick the BIOS. All you need is a VGA cord - plugged into nothing.
Good Luck!

Thanks, I looked into it but my bios doesn't let me set anything to do with the graphics. I wish I could add pictures so I could show people what I have to work with in the bios setup and what the GTX 560 card is doing...

Hello friend, have you already solved the problem? I have a vostro 460 and an r5 240 doesn't work for me either, the BIOS seems to go into a loop but the fans work, I need to fix that please

Try replacing the size 2032 battery and do a bios reset.

What monitor are you using? You can get a black screen if your monitor does not support the HDMI generation, or if the driver for the monitor with ARC support is unsupported.
I would try another monitor that uses whats called Genric PnP support driver.
