HP Pavilion 500-164, upgrading video card.

I've replaced the power supply in this box to accommodate a video card in the PCIE slot. I put a Nvidia 9600 GT in the box, changed no settings, tried to boot and I get no bios and 6 beeps. Any advice?

Re: HP Pavilion 500-164, upgrading video card.

Based on the specs, your HP Pavilion 500-164 Desktop Computer came with Windows 8 installed and has a feature called "Secure Boot". You need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the BIOS before the computer will boot with the nVidia 9600 GT installed.

 

Please remove the video card, make the changes to the BIOS, and power down the computer. Next, reinstall the video card and turn the computer on. Your issue should be solved.

 

Please see Computer Does not Start After Installing a Video Card (Windows 8) for more information on the subject.

 

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
