HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Type of Dectop is TPC-F031-MT purchased 2012

After changing BIOS settings, to make startup in safe mode possible, the system refuses to correctly boot. After power-on 6 beeps are heared, start light orange, and shortly after the startlight turns to blue. And that's it. No furter activity and no screen.

I recon that the video card is no longer recognised in UEFI mode. I have taken out the back-up battery, hoping that BIOS will be reset to manufacture mode, but nothing happens.

What type of video card might vercome this? Are there any other suggestions to correct the error.

The 2015 bios should work.  Select windows 8 and use that bios  I do not think you need the mod I listed

There is a bios mod that fixes the problem.

Verify your motherboard is cupertino2
