HP Compaq Elite 8300
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a Hp elite 8300 desktop, linux was pre-installed. 

Windows 10 64 bit version is installed through usb boot option. 

After installation of W10 i have tried to install 2x Nvidia nvs310 [2 free banks] on my desktop. 

Pc doesnt start up. I plugged one card out and tried again. Without any progress. 

 

 

I have download driver software from nvidia site 

Version: R384 U4 (385.69)  WHQL Release Date: 2017.9.21 Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit Language: English (US) File Size: 310.31 MB

 

 

Installation was not ok because hardware is not detected on machine. 

Can anyone give my advise what to do?

Hi:

 

Make sure you are inserting the card in the black PCIe x16 slot.  The white one is x4 and only used for the secondary card.

 

Why neither of them are not working, that I do not know.

 

I suggest you check the BIOS and make sure the PCIe x slots are enabled.

 

Someone could have disabled the slots.  See chapter 3, page 23 to make sure that none of the PCIe slots are disabled.

You may want to reset the CMOS or set the BIOS settings to their defaults.
