XPS 8700, won't turn on

try replace cmos battery and clear cmos settings first

does it boot up fine without any gpu?

8700 support standard ATX psu that has 24/4 pin connector for motherboard.

the 460w psu is good enough for 1060.

you do not need higher power psu.

Load Wattage:323 W
Recommended PSU Wattage:373 W

but if the psu is failing, replace with a new 460w or third party new psu of similar power rating will work

@Dullll 

Define "it's starts then it stops"?

I assume the Dell Logo shows, the lower bar starts running across and the XPS powers down?

That could indicate with the PSU is over-taxed or some h/w is causing a problem and you are failing POST.

Suggest the first thing to try is to REMOVE the new video card (I assume you never had it in and the XPS working).

Use the On-Board video by moving the video out cable to it and REMOVE the GTX-1060 and see if it boots, could be a different problem with the new card or part of the slot?

I appreciate you guyz help i got it to work im just curious what drivers will i need to get for it to completely adapt

@Dullll​ 

How did you get it to work?

Are you talking about drivers for the video card?

Windows will install its driver for it, so it should be working. The Nvidia driver should offer more 'features' or 'optimization'. If you went to MSI to get drivers, it would direct you to the Nvidia site and you get them there(https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us). Just download the driver and install it. It will/should also load the GeForceExperience and Nvidia Control Panel (no need to mess with these usually but it can help 'tweaking' the driver and do other things for you (Google each if you need more info). On the above page, you'll need to fill it in like this:

Note the DOWNLOAD TYPE with the Question mark on it. Click on the "?" for info about that, but there are 2 choices... the driver is 'optimized' for usage. GRD is for high powered games, 3rd person, point 'n shoot, not Solitaire or slow moving games. The other selection is Studio, 'production/content creator' type programs. Video, Picture, etc. Studio some claim are more 'stable' but it can be used for almost anything. Same goes for the GRD, but for some programs, one will work (performance, visually) better than the other. Using GeForce Experience, one can switch easily from one to the other.

I would let Windows 10/11 automatically download and install driver for GTX 1060.

XPS 8700, won't turn on

@ispalten​ i had ordered a 24 pin extension for the power to the motherboard and it looked like it was all the way on but it needed to be pushed strongly and thank you windows automatically downloaded everything and it works perfectly 

@Dullll​ 

I'd still go to Nvidia Site and get the Driver you want. Windows 'default' may not be Game Ready or even a Studio one but the 'Generic sample' based driver. You might not get the full capability of the card with the Windows driver.

Thanks for the update...

@ispalten​ alright will do i appreciate all your help
