Yes, this seems to be a very common question when googled. So far, everything I have tried doesn't work.
So I am using an older Dell desktop(XPS X8700-1880BLK) that I purchased about 6-7Years ago. It still works great, I started getting into some video editing, figured I'd upgrade the GPU for that reason. Didn't want to spend a whole lot of money since it is an older PC, and I found a RX570 on Amazon for $130. Figured that was a good deal, bought it thinking it would work.
I got the card a few days ago, realized i only have two 6Pins from the PSU. Looked it up, there's a cable that is a dual 6Pin to 8Pin adapter that works just fine. Bought that, just got it last night.
So I plug it all in, the fans on the GPU, and inside the PC, are spinning but I'm getting no display at all, and I can tell the PC is not booting up. As soon as I hit the power button on the PC, it immediately shuts off, which tells me it never got passed the boot screen. Cannot get to the BIOS screen. I am using an HDMI cable, same one as before.
As soon as I unplug the new GPU and plug in the old one (GT 720), the computer boots up fine. I have disabled all of the old drivers. The PSU in this desktop says it's total Watts is 460. Now if it is the PSU that needs to be upgraded, wouldn't it not boot at all(no power)? I've tried removing the battery on the motherboard to reset the CMOS, no changes.
This looks to be the PC I have, but with a 4770 processor.

If it makes a difference, I've got a 1Tb HDD, 3TB HDD, and a 128Gb SSD.
I am out of ideas on what to do. At this point I almost want to just build a new PC, but really would like for this to work. Could it be that the RX570 is not compatible with my motherboard?
