@LomiFidani , welcome back to the forum.

I believe the video card is not compatible with the motherboard.  The GT 1030 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012.  According to the information that I found on you computer it was released in 2011 or 2012.  If it was early 2012 it won't have UEFI.

thanks for your reply, but I'd like to say something after several minutes the computer had turned on only that I couldn't change the resolution of the monitor and then turned off the PC

Thank you for the additional information, @LomiFidani!

"thanks for your reply, but I'd like to say something after several minutes the computer had turned on only that I couldn't change the resolution of the monitor and then turned off the PC"

If I understand what you are saying, the computer runs with the video card installed, but you can't change the resolution.  Is this correct?

Yes

A:  You should update the video driver to the latest from the nVidia website:
