Pavilion p6 - 2120t: Windows will not start with the new graphics card

Installed a Zotac GT 740 profile down in my desktop PC graphics card HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t and now the PC does not start.

HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t CTO desktop PC

Configuration:
Intel Pentium CPU [email protected]
4.0 GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics Driver version Family: 8.15.10.2291 dated 27/01/2011
Motherboard: IPISB-CU (Carmel2) (1 open PCI Express 16 expansion slot pins)

BIOS to Version 7.18

Running:
Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit w/service pack 1
Two monitors (VGA, 1 digital port 1)

Before installing the new graphics card, I replaced the power supply original 300w with a 400w power supply.

For starters, I disabled the onboard graphics in Device Manager. Then, I opened the case and installed the GT-740 in the open PCI Express slot. I made sure that the card was fully engaged in the slot.

I plugged both monitors to their connections voted on the new map.

When I tried to boot the PC, the digital monitor displays the screen HP (the one that indicates which key support to achieve the start menu) and then frozen. No other entries of key or mouse have been accepted.

The PC then sounds 4 short beeps (about 10 seconds between each beep) and then a long beep before turning off the signal to the screen.

Then, I removed the new graphics card on the PC that starts then. I have reactivated the original graphics drivers and the PC then worked normally.

Tried the above process two more times with the same results.

I then went into the start menu to look at the BIOS. The menu of the BIOS shows two options:

> Sources of boot UEFI

Windows Boot Manager

> Sources of boot legacy

ATAP I CD/DVD player

SATA2

Hard drive

SATA0

Network controller (Realtek PXE B06 D00)

PC using UEFI Boot Manager Windows boots normally

I have not tried Legacy Boot Sources because I don't know which one to choose.

I went to the HP site and looked for an update to the newest BIOS, but updating them is a rev version 7.16 while my PC shows my BIOS to version 7.18

I know that others have had a similar problem but I have not seen a solution that works for my PC.

Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks for your time.

Hello

Your PC isn't spec'd to run Windows 7 using the Windows Boot Manager.  I expect to a UEFI-based graphics card likely to work on an HP PC that does not have a BIOS version 8.

The below listed OEM HP, graphics cards should work in your PC using a normal non - UEFI W7 and W8 installation.

  • Does not start with the new graphics card

    Hello. I have a P7-1058uk Pavilion Cleveland-GL8 motherboard with integrated graphics.

    I bought a new monitor that has resolution 2560 x 1440, equal the integrated graphics card can face if tried to to level with a Gigabyte GT630 card.

    When I start, I have now the chance to the blue HP screen but not more details. If I start with F10 or ESC key, I get a black screen instead. Whatever it is, I am asked to press ESC to enter in the start, but by pressing on the button has no effect and the computer just hangs. There is a cycle repeated very quiet click that sounds like the disk drive HARD trying to start then stop

    If I remove the graphics card and connect the monitor to the integrated graphics card then all's well again (but limited to the resolution 1920 x 1080).

    Perhaps foolishly, I assumed it was a problem with the residual power (300W) and not enough punch power to run the HARD drive. But who, after having upgraded to 650W it makes no difference. I also tried to download the NVidia drivers but it won't let me install because I can't get the computer to work without the graphics card and Nvidia install it because it cannot detect the hardware.

    Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

    You can have one of these motherboards that are not happy with NVIDIA graphics cards.

    This may sound a little weird, but it happens.

    The other possibility is that you have damaged your home x - 16 PCI Express by installing a map requiring more that the installed power supply has been able to provide.

    Hi JM,

    Did you remove the Intel HD graphics drivers prior to installing the ATI graphics card?

    Your PC comes with one of the following built-in Intel graphics drivers:

    Hello

    NVIDIA GTX 7xx or 9xx series graphics cards will not work in your PC.  The BIOS in "chicago" mothererboard is not compatible with the video BIOS in the graphics card.  You will need to get an older card chart such as the one of the below listed OEM HP graphics cards. Depending on the graphics card, you may need to replace the power suplly.

  • Workstation XW4300: xw4300 will not work with the recommended graphics card (Nvidia Quadro FX 3400)

    I installed a graphics card hoping to update my computer.  The Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 was the highest assigned

    graphics card recommended for the workstation xw4300 system HP specifications page.  My system

    has a 460W power supply and I connected the cable 6-pin on the map and the map pins in the PCIe x 16 slot where

    the old card was.

    When I turned on the machine, I don't have even get a bios message or welcome screen.  All black.  But on all 10

    seconds, the power would cycle off and then come back.  HP says that this map is supposed to work with my machine!

    This card appears, making it non-functional.

    Any ideas?

    I ended up going with the Nvidia Quadro FX 1400 card.  He is listed as 75W and the map of 'medium' recommended for this xw4300 system.  I paid 10 dollars for it on eBay and it works great.  Do not use the Quadro FX 3400 map even if it is recommended by HP for this machine.  Food can't support.

    A witch hunt.  Equipment old and new software don't always play nice.  My machine has a new installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on it, and running Windows Experience Index gives me the blue screen of death.  I put a meter on the power during the test problems... No..  It's a kind of driver incompatibility.  Win 7 says that the driver is the last, but he chokes on the

    test the index.  Funny irony is that I ran other tests which include benchmarking 3D rendering and nothing, but the Microsoft Windows Experience Index test stifles this card.  How about you do not run the Microsoft test to improve my Windows experience.  :/  Go figure.

    This card is older hardware, and because of that I don't have hope than Nvidia or Microsoft to make Windows experience test runs correctly with win7 64 OS.  Sounds like HP.

    Here's the kudo: the guy on eBay who I bought the card quickly refunded my money when he learned about the Blue error screen of death in Windows performance index test, so I did a free card.  I'll send her money

    Back to him.  I've never met anyone so accommodating.  These companies could take a lesson from that on what customer service means.  That's how you get regular customers.

  • Lenovo M91p desktop does not boot with the new graphics card (Blank don't screen no BIOS)

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Lenovo M91p thinkcenter Desktop as an upgrade to my old PC i3.

    Old Spec is as follows:

    • Coolermaster Thunder 600W power supply
    • Card mother Intel DH55HC
    • Processor i3
    • Graphics HIS HD Radeon 7950
    • 8 GB RAM
    • HARD DRIVE 500 GB

    I transferred my HD supply and Power 500 GB old to new Lenovo desktop and everything starts very well.

    Then I installed 2 x 2 GB extra in the Lenovo M91p (which in fact 8GB) and updated the disk of 500 GB to 1 TB.

    So my new spec is as follows:

    • Coolermaster Thunder 600W power supply
    • Card mother Lenovo Q67
    • I7 2600 3.4 Ghz CPU
    • 8 GB RAM
    • 1 to and 500 GB HARD drive

    Everything Booted fine. Then I tried to install my old graphics (HIS 7950 graphics Radeon HD card) card. I got was a blank screen, no beeps, no BIOS... Nothing.

    At first, I thought that my diet was not enough... So I tested a 750W power supply in the pc. Still nothing.

    Then I thought that the motherboards BIOS was outdated... Updated... Still nothing. I even tried to update the firmware of the graphics card. Nothing.

    The graphics card works because I tested it in my old machine and it worked 100%.

    However, I took my graphics card to my provider and he tests it on another of his pieces... Did not work there either.

    My PC BIOS is not supported for secure boot, in case anyone wants to know.

    I am out of ideas now... Anyone able to help?

    There is a white list of graphics cards that will recognize the BIOS. The 7950 HD is a map of 180w, well beyond what the power plant can provide (and case/sufficient cooling fans for) and not a single one is that Lenovo would provide support for the BIOS.

    Use the search engine above to see what cards other owners have used successfully in their M91p.

  • Qosmio G10 with the new graphics card and pcb - CD update tools do not work

    Hello world

    I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks, I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 return of aid, because the laptop no longer works. So I get it back with a new graphics card and a new PCB. With my laptop I have a CD called the update tool CD and a sheet of instructions, where it says to start with this tool CD-Rom update after you have installed the Windows with the reovery CD.

    So I did, but when I know the update tool CD to put in and I start with it, the computer installs something, but after a short then it is a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to close Notepad. So I did it, but Windows does not start.

    Why is it so? I had done everything that has been said on the instruction sheet.

    Please help me

    Hello

    It will be interesting to find more information on this CD-Rom tool update. Are there tags Toshiba? Can you please write what is described here?

  • computer will not start with the disc

    I use vista and my computer does not start because of a corrupted file.

    I put my vista disk in such suggested, but the screen does not move any command of keys to press and just goes round in a loop. So I can't the computer to start and fix.

    I changed the bios to boot from the cd as first choice but still no results.

    can anyone help?

    Could it be that the disk driver does not work like the disk isn't loading? Or the disc will not load because the press any key order is not coming?

    I am old enough and not very technically experienced but this computer has served me well and I have a lot of information that I need to go down there if I have to buy another.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you have correctly setting the boot order in the BIOS to CD/DVD first, and the computer does not start, your problem has nothing to do with the driver for the CD/DVD drive. Also running in safe mode or SFC can maybe help you.

    The reason that pilots, safe mode and FCS can help you is the same for all three: boot (if from the hard drive or a CD or DVD) takes place before loading Windows. If it boots from a CD or a bootable DVD, the problem has nothing to do with Windows. It's a hardware problem. I don't know what the problem is, but it is possible that the CD/DVD drive is dead.

    What is wrong can but fixable, but whether it is cost-effective to do so is another matter. It depends on what the problem is. If the CD/DVD player, they are inexpensive, so replacement should not be expensive. Fortunately, it's not like there is a problem with the hard drive, so even if you buy a new computer, you must be able to remove the hard drive from the old computer, put it in an external enclosure and to transfer the data to the new computer.

    Let me add another point: you say "I have a lot of information that I need to get off it if I have to buy another." This suggests that you don't regularly back up your data on an external support. If this is the case, you've played with fire. It is always possible that a hard disk crash, the user error, close to love at first sight, virus attack, even stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you will have a problem, but when.

  • Windows will not install on the new drive for HP Pavilion Elite m9510f

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9510f operation with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1 and with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDD of 750 GB.

    The HARD drive broke down a few weeks ago and is unrecoverable.

    I bought Seagate 1 TB hard drive to replace the 750Go again and used the HP recovery discs provided by HP to wipe the disk and reinstall Windows on it.

    I can run all the recovery discs 3 without problem, the computer goes through its paces to reinstall Windows and all of a sudden, the computer stops and I get the message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    What is happening with this?  I use a HARD drive with recovery disks provided by HP.

    HARD drive replacement need to be 750Go like the original?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Probably a problem with the hard drive being the new type of AF. Windows 7 with SP1 should work better than Vista... but your Vista key will not work with ISO download linked above.

  • Windows 7 does not start with the new msi motherboard

    Yesterday, I bought a new motherboard, processor and 8g of ram in my computer. After all what adjustment and replacement of my old motherboard with the new, I started my computer to find that Windows 7 unbootable not. Instead of windows 7, I get the screen click on BIOS II (2). The configuration screen allows me to launch Winki but not Windows 7 because it was not found. The motherboard came with a utility disk drivers msi and AMD chipset which, when inserted in my hard disk, loads up to Winki. This version of windows 7 (Home Premium 64-bit) came pre-installed with my old mother/computer(Thus, I do not have the windows 7 installation disk) card. Is there a way I need to activate Windows 7 on my new motherboard?

    Hello

    Well, you have some problems. First of all, with a new motherboard you need a new copy of Windows - not only the DVD, but a whole new product key must be purchased. It's just the terms of the license: a new motherboard is equivalent to a new computer, and each computer must have its own copy of Windows.

    So where you buy your copy of Windows 7, I would make sure that it came with a DVD image. Otherwise, you can tell us which version of Windows 7 you (will) actually buy, and we can send you a link to the copy of the DVD for this version of Windows 7.

    To purchase a copy of Windows 7 you can check Newegg.com, here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=windows+7&N=-1&isNodeId=1 .

    I hope that answers your question.

  • HP DV6 3103 sl-do not start with the new RAM

    Hello

    I have a Hp Pavilion DV6 3103sl with a dual boot W7 - W7,

    I don't want to update the 8 GB RAM, and here's the problem:

    I tried to add a new Corsair 4 GB of RAM for 4 GB samsung which is already there, it did not work.

    so I thought that there was a problem of compatibility RAM of coupling of different brands and

    I tried to use the Corsair only: it didn't work again.

    Long story short, I tried two different 4 Go Corsair-1 Kingston 4 GB 1333 Mhz 10600

    I tried alone without the RAM samsung and all three do not work with the laptop.

    He continues to start again OR it gives a BSOD

    What should I do? It is impossible that all the 3 banks of RAM I tried are defective...

    Thanks for your help

    To properly upgrade the memory in your laptop or desktop PC, it is recommended that a pair identical memory compatible modules guaranteed of a well known brand is used to place the original single module. Remove the original module.

    Ability to mix, brand, speed module... essentially of the differences in the module is usually held in one upgrade failed.

    Samsung module memory + module Corsir = memory upgrade memory failed.  Kingston 1333 Mhz + module Corsair 1066 + upgrade module memory has failed...  These failures are expected.
