What's the power supply watts? I imagine you don't know that either. Hmm... Does it boot to windows or you just got the computer and it does that? I'd send it back

Call up their support. Why waste time when it's still under warranty.

We know nothing about the motherboard whether it has an American Megatrends/AMI or Phoenix/Award UEFI. Thats a post code

Go there and enter your serial number and get the manual.
How long ago did you get this unit and did it come with said gpu above?

They're literally doing their job of reading a script. Blame the company for outsourcing.
And honestly, you'd rather waste money than try to get a free fix? Sounds like not the best advice for OP.

From here it could be either GPU or Ram.

@Harsh
Take Electro Static Discharge Procedures
Reinsert the ram and GPU.
If no change clear cmos and try
If no change pull the gpu and boot from the motherboard IO ports (5600G CPU) if no change its possible 1 or both ram sticks are bad or motherboard is
If computer boots without gpu then gou or motherboard are bad.
You have 2 options, Get to a Shop or RMA it.
If You RMA, do not tell them you opened the case, touched gpu/ram or had a shop troubleshoot it

It may be your memory.... have done anything with the ram?
You can try:
1. Ensure ram modules are seated correctly
2. Try removing and reseating
3. Try moving into different slots
4. If you have more than one ram stick, one might be a problem. Try one stick at a time to see if the problem goes away.
It is possible, after correcting the situation. on the next boot you may get two beeps that is the system letting you know it has found a new memory count.
At least, this is what happened on one of my systems when I changed ram.

True sadly but if you want to return it you better check with support if you need an RMA number from them first.
It’s a megatrends motherboard. The Gpu is the original Gpu that came with itWe know nothing about the motherboard whether it has an American Megatrends/AMI or Phoenix/Award UEFI. Thats a post code

Well American Megatrends is AMI, so it's pointing at faulty ram, reseat both sticks. If still fails clear cmos and try. If no change pull the 1 stick closest to the cpu out and try, then swap the stick you pulled into the slot furthest from the cpu.

Sounds like the gpu not being detected or the power supply not supplying enough power to the gpu is what I'm guessing. If the power supply is generic or have low amps reading that a problem in itself
