Hello everyone
i purchased this Gaming PC here
https://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c07048450
Motherboard should be a Baker 8767
I wanted to remove GPU and give it to my brother, because GPU is a little bit too much for me, so i want to install an older GPU and use the PC for office and internet related tasks.
I tried to connect an older GPU but the PC is just beeping and not booting at all... its an old 550Ti. Any suggestions to make this PC boot? Or is HP blocking GPUS other than their OEM versions?
Best regards

hi
tried to disable secure boot
this should work if there is enough power for your graphics card, which shouldn't be a problem?
"NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3060 Ti (8 GB GDDR6 dedicated)"
vote brother is very lucky, nice gift

Hi
thanks for your answer!
Unfortunatelly the BIOS isnt the same as in the document you sent me, theres no option to enable legacy boot. Its only possible to disable secure boot
The Motherboard doesnt give any videooutput when i use the older graphics card, not even BIOS is showing up 😞

I'm not sure if I can find a bios simulation
If you can place photos, maybe an option somewhere
Otherwise there may be nothing I can do for you

It would be necessary to have the simulator, there a little complicated to have all the options ..
i'm just wondering under configuration
device options?
UEFI HII configuration? What is that ..
device Security just passwords?
And security slot, maybe something here
Otherwise, we will have to test another card, I do not see what could block others if the card is functional ...
There are very few cases where the user wants to install an old card with this type of computer.
