BIOS update to install Video card and processor upgrade

[Vale116]

The problem is that its a new video card was not used and from I have seen trying to do this upgrade that others that have also attempted this upgrade on this model have also had the same issue but no thread ever shows a solution just possible fixes. I just don't understand why HP would provide possible upgrade and it not work.

i had no issues with finding documentation or bios for this model perhaps you were not aware this model only shipped with windows 7 or 8.x not windows 10, as such any bios updates will be under those OS's your motherboard should be a 

IMPIP-M5 (e66)

since this appears to be a older system it may not have a UEFI enabled bios, if so you can only run "LEGACY" video cards which will work on a non UEFI system the problem is that most legacy bios's have a bug that prevents the computer bios from detecting a UEFI video card and switching to LEGACY mode, HP did use a MXM video card slot in some models and if so your system will have a MXM version: 3.0, type A video slot (35 watt max)

i know the  GeForce GT230 was one HP approved mxm video option

it may be that the motherboards that did not ship with a mxm card is lacking some parts necessary to enable use of said video slot or the bios may be slightly different in that mxm models auto default to a discrete video source

also note that systems that shipped with win 8.x already had the latest bios installed by HP, which is why a bios update is only found under the win 7 updates

Win 7 x64 driver page: (there is on bios update 7.15 Rev. A)

I'll verify what BIOS versión I have and if it's older I'll give this a shot. Thanks I'll provide an update

Those drivers are for 

HP TouchSmart 610-1120in Desktop PC

I have a touchsmart 600-1120 they have different motherboard.

and yes, hence my answer
I had been redirected to this page, and there is not the same motherboard model shown!

[DGroves]

this might help it's a link for a HP touchsmart 600-1120 branded video card, this card may use a specific HP VBios that differs from other branded cards

https://www.amazon.com/Graphics-TouchSmart-600-1050-Computer-Replacement/dp/B0867YRYJM

also, the link i provided is for the "GENERIC" version of this model HP sells this model in numerous regional configurations

there is also a "LA" version which appears to have a TV Tuner option installed

all appear to use the same motherboard

they only differ in the last two digits these two digits ID the country of  that model

example:

Same video card I am trying to install but the links to the touchsmart are for the 610 series I have the 600 series and they use different motherbooards

For the first, it is not at all the same motherboard again

But, I didn't actually ask Where does the graphics card come from, some are new? is this a model with hp part number, or is it another model? Maybe it would make the difference, but it's hard to say it's definitely the problem
