Are you using an Intel onboard (IGP) or dGPU (GPGPU) machine? The majority of high spec systems come with the Radeon 7570, which is a low-profile GPU converted to work with a different bracket; these things are prone to overheating and failure due to the poor cooling. There are other cards that don’t do this, but they were all optional CTO upgrades. The difference between the consumer 7570 vs. business 7570 is the secondary port; the consumer card in the XPS uses HDMI and DVI. The OptiPlex edition of this GPU uses full size DP and HDMI, not DVI. Either way, it's the same cheap card and putting DP on it is literally putting lipstick on a pig. For onboard video, it’s usually bad RAM.

Are you using an Intel onboard (IGP) or dGPU (GPGPU) machine? The majority of high spec systems come with the Radeon 7570, which is a low-profile GPU converted to work with a different bracket; these things are prone to overheating and failure due to poor cooling and being easily overworked due to said cooling and limited performance. I've beaten on mine with GTA V, but I know I'm tempting fate every time and I accept the risk of killing mine. There are other cards that don’t do this, but they were all optional CTO upgrades. The difference between the consumer 7570 vs. business 7570 is the secondary port; the consumer card in the XPS uses HDMI and DVI. The OptiPlex edition of this GPU uses full size DP and HDMI, not DVI. Either way, it's the same cheap card and putting DP on it is literally putting lipstick on a pig. For onboard video, it’s usually bad RAM.
The problem with this specific 7570 is they're so low-end, they run extremely hot under a hard load, which the coolers cannot take -- ***and the cards fail with zero warning as you found out***. This in turn kills the fan bearings as they get beaten up due to the poor cooling, which in turn kills the cards after a few years of hard use. It’s very common to see ex Radeon 7570 (as well as other hot running "low profile" cards) computers with the evidence (an open PCIe slot where a card used to be) left behind because people just pull these things when they die after a few years rather than replace them with the same failure prone part. ***Even if the previous owner puts a cover in (most do not) if I looked up the Dell S/T I could tell right away if it died and was removed. The only cards in this form factor that aren't death machines are DOA waste like the GT420.***
***''Personally, if I got a Dell with a GPU like this I wouldn't remove it if it worked; but if it did fail with early warnings (not the fan; if it's rattling that means it's probably on deaths door but has time), I'd put a full-size open market card in there and then scrap the dead card -- or if it's older, use the IGP.''***
If you’re lucky it’s just a bad driver and booting on the Intel onboard without the GPU installed (Dell has a POST block with a GPU installed) to uninstall the drivers for this card and then reinstall the AMD reference driver or use the Windows WHQL driver to get it started and then install the AMD driver. ***We don’t know what card you have explicitly, so you will need to find out and locate the correct driver. Just don’t be surprised if it fails again permanently.***
If you don’t want to chance it, these are your choices:
* Buy a modern midrange GPU and replace it (requires driver change)
* Remove the card and switch to onboard video (requires driver change)
If it didn’t ship with a GPU, the RAM is bad. Get a set of DDR3L 1600MHz - at least 16GB of it especially if you plan to keep the computer in the long run. If not, remove the bad module as long as it’s reasonable - think 4-8GB of RAM after finding the dead module.
If you have this card and the driver is no help, this is the exact 7570 known to fail.

The low end GPU Dell shipped with these often die due to the small cooler and GPU heat output being bad enough under load it cannot quickly dissipate the heat - it’s not uncommon to get these low profile conversion machines with evidence it WAS once a machine with a GPU from the factory - that’s how you know the GPU died. The problem is these low profile GPUs are notorious for failing due to insufficient cooling without warning unless it has a joke dye like the GT420 (which shouldn’t exist). It’s made worse by the fact there is often no warning - it’s good one day and dead the next. Personally if I got something like this again and it had one of these GPUs I wouldn’t throw it out if it worked, but I’d probably throw it out and blank it off if it had a fatal issue so I can shop around and get a GPU I like since the mainstream CPUs ALL have onboard graphics.

If it didn’t ship with a GPU, the RAM is bad. Get a set of DDR3L 1600MHz - at least 16GB of it especially if you plan to keep the computer in the long run. If not, remove the bad module as long as it’s reasonable - think 4-8GB of RAM after finding the dead module.
Are you using an Intel onboard (IGP) or dGPU (GPGPU) machine? The majority of factory GPU systems come with the 7570, which is a low profile GPU converted to work with a different bracket. There are other cards that don’t do this, but they were all optional CTO upgrades. The problem is going to be caused by something entirely different if it’s an i5/onboard configured system.

There are other cards that don’t do this, but they were all optional CTO upgrades. The problem is going to be caused by something entirely different if it’s an i5/onboard configured system. The only difference between the conversion and low profile is the port type on a lot of them - the low profile is usually DP and the conversion is HDMI.
The low end GPU Dell shipped with these often die due to the small cooler and GPU heat output being bad enough under load it cannot quickly dissipate the heat. These low profile GPUs are kind of notorious as a whole for dying like this since the cooling is almost always insufficient unless it’s paired with a joke GPU that shouldn’t exist. You never get any warning with these things - it just fails as you found out. It’s all good until you reboot it and make the GPU do more then it’s already doing when it died.

Are you using an Intel onboard (IGP) or dGPU (GPGPU) machine? The OEM GPU is designed for low profile machines and has abysmal cooling; it’s just been modified to work with these towers by changing the bracket. The 7570 is one of the known low profile conversion configurations. The problem is going to be caused by something entirely different if it’s an i5/onboard configured system.

These GPUs often die due to the small cooler and GPU heat output being bad enough under load it cannot quickly dissipate the heat. These GPUs often fail like this due to that, and tend to fail when the system is rebooted so it’s a sudden failure rather then one you get warning with.

You have a choice: Remove the GPU (requires driver change), find a good used one (not recommended; may fail+it’s low end) or you can buy a modern midrange GPU and replace it (requires driver change). If you don’t need it but got it because you had to, I would just go to the onboard video and not install a new GPU and remove the port covers.
