OK. Now I boot into as user, but the resolution leaves something to be
desired, 1024x760.
The new card is a ViasiontekHD5450 16GB D3 DVH PCI Card.
The Monitor is a LG Flattop 24EN33TW-B with a recommended resolution of
1920X1080 67500 kHz 60kHz +/+ (Which, I think the resolution was before
the mishap)
I installed inxi and get the following results:

While I am quite comfortable, doing molecular orbital computations, I
would be very uncomfortable trying to proceed further.
Guidance would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is solved. Apparently the PCI card had a loose connector,
so I replaced it.
As] soon as adjust the resolution it'll be back to normal.
Many thanks to all that answered by request for help.

I get form the TV: Computer No signal is it on?
Not a good sign. :( Did you turn the TV on, and to the correct input,
before
turning on the PC? Some TVs don't like being late to the boot. So do
some GPUs.
inxi -GSaz, in safe mode, returns- bash: inxi: command not found
If network is working, sudo apt install inxi will install it, but
because
Bullseye's inxi is a broken antique, better to do the following as root:
cd /usr/local/bin && wget -O inxi smxi.org/inxi && chmod +x inxi
from:
https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-installation.htm#inxi-manual-install
to get the much improved current version. Inxi -Gaz is the best there
is for
providing basic graphics troubleshooting info.
cat for both logs returns: no such file or directory
Bad sign. I never use Wayland, so can't be sure what if any logging
it does that
ordinary people can locate. Xorg should have left an old one in
either location if
there is no current one. I think Wayland leaves its stuff in the
journal:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=debian+journalctl+wayland>
Let me pose a hypothetical - Would installing Debian 12 on a different
drive boot. or would I (most likely) muck-up the entire computer?
It's possible to muck up what you have, but if you remove the current
drive and
install the different one and Bookworm, it might be your best way
forward. If the
installer can't work either, it would be near certain you've acquired
a hardware
problem, hopefully easily resolved with a graphics card swap if you
can locate one
to try without too much trouble. What to look for might depend on
what you have in
there now. NVidia as good at giving people headaches like you have.
Intel only
just began (after more than two decades of not) providing discrete
graphics cards.
So hopefully you could get hands on a PCIe AMD card made less than 10
years ago to
try.
Simply starting the Bookworm installer, if it starts at all, might
say a lot.
