Windows not booting after new GPU install

[Cowboi578]

Hello!

I installed a new power supply and graphics card in my HP and now I get the “press esc key for start menu” screen.  When I press escape, nothing happens.  After a while, shifts to a black screen for a few minutes, then come back to the same screen with strange graphics things at the top. I cannot get windows to boot.  

fx 8120

16 gb ram

Gigabyte 2ac8 mother board

450w power supply

installed GTX 1660 super

Thank you so much.  Product number is B4J24AV#ABA. 

I was able to get it booted once after doing the windows/B button thing and successfully installed the drivers for the gpu, but have not been able to get windows to boot since then

thanks again

the bios is too old and you need version 8.xx
I do not guarantee anything the bios update being risky, it's up to you
the bios is available for windows 8
sometimes it can work with windows 10
you must execute the file with administrator rights (right click execute as )
