Did you check the Interrupts and memory settings on the new card. Should not conflict with the main display card on the motherboard.

to see if the power supply is not turning on look for the fan and feel it and see if there any beeping on the cpu or hear some kind of sound that may think the power fail

it means that the processor does not work. try putting the old one back and try that.. now the rams should not cause this to fail so my best bet is just try the old one back in there and let me know if that helps.

it will run, but get more ram, your best ram is 2 gig ram to run the game, and all so do a game test on he video card to see if it will lag, there a GTA IV demo out there i belive so try that b4 buing a new ram

make sure the audio device is compatible with the sound card and OS you are you using at the store you bought it at. Also check to make sure the plugs are in the correct sockets.

This is likely a power supply problem. If you see accumulated dust and debris in the vents on the back of the computer, Try blowing them out with compressed air. After cleaning, leave the computer unplugged for a few hours, then plug in and test. If it starts but fails again quickly, the power supply is probably overheating, and should be replaced. If there is no effect, there may a short on the motherboard due to dust and debris buildup. It is also slightly possible that the processor has gone bad, but this is rare.

this 2007 year PC OLD, has many limits (CORE 2 is one) is this windows 10? 64bit> I bet not its CORE 2 old) I came with VISTA if MS loaded OS, or XP or RedHat Linux? what boot menu are you talking about.? F12? wild guess me, VISTA OS: (now zero support) in windows, we have disk manager, do all devices show up now? this is first, if not here, explorer can not work. lets do the correct order: 1: bios sees my media. (good) 2: then in device manager, it sees them, if not drivers bad. 3: then Diskmanager sees the devices, and must have drive letter or next. if letters missing right click device and add one. 4: explorer (This PC) fails to find it. if above fails sure. easy as 1,2,3,4 order, matters. can't see CD does that mean a disk or the whole drive? cant See HDD, is this HDD0 ,1,2, 3 or? how many HDD do you have, and are there SSD drives there and last what SATA ports are you using, some are limited. here is your DELL.com support page, (12 years later still here) https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/precision-t7400/drivers what HDD fails, does the PC boot at all? my wild guess NO. what OS what OS do you want to run, that be first thing to ask on any 2007 old PC, as Windows 10 will fail here. I Bet. for sure 64bit.

Could be a faulty psu or disk drive - suggest test both

If not data on the flash drive I suggest try reformatting the drive to remove any malware

Many Dell can be a bit funny about exactly what RAM they will accept == check what other owners say on the Dell website user forums ..

At power-on, use F12 (or F8) and select 'Repair' ... DO NOT let it 'reformat' your drive or you will loose everything .. If that fails, you may have to choose 'Factory Restore', but this will re-install Windows and you will LOOSE EVERYTHING !! SO == if you have another PC, I suggest move your disk drive to that other PC and copy off all your photos/music/videoa etc you don't want to loose before doinbg a Factory Restore ..

It's simple. If you still have a problem please take a look at manual in pdf file for this dell t3500. You can find it here for example: User manual for Dell T3500

Windows 10 is new and still in testing phase, new patches are released to fix bugs almost everyday. try running an update, make sure your hardware was compatible and the OS is installed properly, you do have the option to roll back if you want to. call 1-877-805-1027 for expert help.

PCProtect is malware. What is PCProtect exe . I would boot up in Safe Mode again, or Normal if you have to, and bring up Task Manager again (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and check to see if explorer.exe is running. If not, Click on File in the Task Manager toolbar, select New Task (Run), and type explorer.exe in the Open box and click OK. If all goes well, your icons and Start Menu will appear and you can start cleaning up. Otherwise, you could try again and type appwiz.cpl in the Open box to bring up the Programs and Features to remove any bad programs you may find. Malware removal can takes years of experience, so I will leave it at that to try for a starting point.
