I decided to upgrade my Alienware X51 R2 desktop.
I got an upgraded graphics card ( GTX 1080ti), the card wouldn't fit in the Alienware case. I was able to get a larger case from my friend, and an upgraded power supply to be able to power the graphics card, it's a thermaltake smart 700w PSU.
The computer still would not post, so I tried a new motherboard, I got a Prime Z270-A, with an i7-7700k cpu.
I tried using the stock ram from my old PC, I also tried 2 other sticks of RAM, also tried using just 1 stick of RAM in all 4 different slots, still nothing.
We reinstalled the bios, we also disconnected the bios battery for 5 minutes and reconnected.
I've tried 3 different monitors, I'm out of ideas on what to try.
