Hello,
A few years ago I bought a HP pavilion desktop with a GTX 1650 gpu inside and today I tried to upgrade the motherboard to a ASUS branded one. After I made sure that all the parts were working the pc it did turn on, but I could not boot up my computer os and my monitor showed "No Signal" message. I looked around other forums and eventually I found out that the VGA light on the motherboard was on and from what I found out is that means the motherboard cannot detect the GPU even thought it was placed in properly. Before I recycle the old motherboard I want to know is the HP branded GPU only functional with the OEM motherboard?

Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Yes. HP-branded graphics cards, such as an OEM HP AMD Radeon RX 5500 4GB (p/n: H88-1E414-500HP) which I happen to have, work just fine on non-HP or alternative HP motherboards. As long as you have a PCIe x16 graphics slot, you are fine.
Once installed on a non-HP or a different HP motherboard, download the AMD driver from here: AMD Drivers and Support | AMD. To use my RX 5500 graphics card as an example, make these selections then submit and install:
Hope this was helpful.
