[SOLVED] dell optiplex 745 GPU Fail Beeps

[Plicker19]

My dell optiplex 745 made the six beeps, which means the graphics card is bad. Is it easy to replace one?

If the failing GPU is built-in (integrated graphics), it can't be replaced, but it can be disabled and then use a discrete card.

If the failing gfx card is a discrete card, simply remove it and plug in the new one. Need more info?

So, Plug a new one in A PCI slot?

No, the PCie slot. The black slot.
Be sure to use a single slot-width card, though. Because there is no room for a wider double slot card. Example

You have to download an install the new drivers for the new card.

I didn't have to do that when I built one, though.
