I have a 4 year old Dell PowerEdge T310 server that I want too upgrade with a NVidia GeForce GTX 770 card. The machine is running Ubuntu 16. I inserted the card and also, as a temporary measure, added a 2nd power supply (currently outside the chassis) since the original one does not have enough power and I could not find a generic ATX PS that would be compatible to run the whole machine.
The machine currently boots half-way and then goes into some sort of infinite loop with a message "Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server..." displayed on the screen. Note that the monitor is currently connected to the computer as VGA. If I connect it to the new card it does not display at all.
When I enter BIOS, I can see the card as an external device.
So it seems that it detects the card on boot but not completely, so I can't even reach the stage of installing drivers for the card.
Is this something Ubuntu-specific? How can I diagnose and fix it? Thx
