### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

Q:

Black screen after inserting RTX 2080 Ti, computer won't boot at all

This is with Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell 7920.  So the Dell power light goes on but I get nothing aside from the occasional flickering of the HD light, trying to boot when I put the 2080 in my box. (I have two actually and same thing with either one.) Everything boots fine when the RTX comes out. The monitor is plugged into an NVIDIA P2000 which came with the system. Same results before and after updating to most recent driver (415), which is explicitly supposed to support the 2080--though the problem happens so early on it seems unlikely to be a driver issue. I'm not even getting the Dell logo. 
It's a fresh system, but legacy boot has been enabled and a few other changes have been made to ensure the HD can be encrypted.  The computer booted with the 2080 before these changes were made, but there's probably no going back since the disk encryption is mandatory.  (And the IT guy started his vacation today.) I've even tried different PCIe lanes, no change.
What can I try?
UPDATE:
So on a hunch (anticipated by @SiXandSeven8ths) I took out the P2000 Quadro and things booted just fine, again with the 415.23 NVIDIA drivers.  nvidia-smi works and everything appears in order.  Is it really impossible to have both cards in the system at the same time (with nvidia drivers)?  I'm happy to lose fancy graphics from the Quadro if need be, I just need it to run 2 monitors for mostly coding while the 2080s do ML.  This post for example suggests that it is possible (see iamacow's response, 1st para.)--any suggestions how?
UPDATE 2: So it turned out to be surprisingly difficult to get things going even with a new low-end graphics card (GeForce 1050Ti).  Two 2080Ti's did not work immediately; booting hung when the OS got to the point where it started the Gnome Display Manager.  (Incidentally, for CUDA 10, needed to go with driver 410.48, manually installed from a .run file.)  Reinstalling drivers did nothing, but everything 'just worked' when I switched from GDM to LightDM. To get the monitors to display from the new card, I had to get the GPU ID numbers from NVIDIA X Server Settings (different from what they are in nvidia-smi!!) and manually edit xorg.conf accordingly; doing it from the Settings GUI didn't seem to work, at least on the first try.  But now, everything appears to be working as intended.
Last note: A fun fact about the 7920 is that despite packing a 1400W PSU it only has 3 PCIe 8-pin drops, while for 2 RTX's you need 4.  A splitter solved this and since these cards max at about 280W I'm not too worried about overloading anything, though full disclosure the system has not been fully 'stress-tested' yet.

A:

Following @K7AAY's suggestion and making this an answer.
On a hunch (anticipated by @SiXandSeven8ths) I took out the P2000 Quadro and things booted just fine, again with the 415.23 NVIDIA drivers. nvidia-smi works and everything appears in order.  I've since installed Cuda 10, CuDNN 7, PyTorch, and everything seems well.  So the 'solution' here seems to be: you can't mix graphics card models in a single system, at least not without manual intervention of some kind.  (E.g., editing an Xorg.conf file or something like that.).  I'll need to replace the P2000 with a low-end GeForce model to achieve my goal of a lesser card for video display and two 'killer' cards for doing ML.
