@Fallen94, welcome to the forum.

 

I believe that your problem is caused by the fact that the video card is not compatible with your motherboard.  The RX 470 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012.  Your computer was released in September, 2011.  I suggest that you contact the manufacturer's Tech Support to see if they have a VBIOS update that would make the card compatible with a Legacy BIOS.

@Fallen94, you should contact MSI's Tech Support.  They are the experts on their products.  I believe they are a good company and should have good Tech Support.
