Installing MSI GT 710 graphics card on HP Pavilion P6-2037c?

[Freddo79]

• Trying to install a upgrade video card MSI GT 710 in my HP Pavilion P6 2037c.  I've done the plug and play but get no signal. I've attempted to remove integrated drivers but they keep re installing. Any help appreciated.

hi

What is your bios version?
Is the card new, or used, already tested, functional?
The recommended power supply for this model is sufficient (I think so)

i see this

IPISB-CU Motherboard BIOS Update

7.16 Rev. A

2.9 MB

Feb 6, 2012

so

In theory only old graphics cards
AMD Radeon HD 6xxx cards, or a Nvidia GT (X) 6xx card
can be used
on condition of having the required power supply for the chosen model

or see this @Freddo79

Motherboard Specifications, IPISB-CU (Carmel2)

but obviously you would have the same update, the motherboards are relatively close

I'm not telling you to try, but if necessary, it can be good to explore

Hi, @Freddo79 

Your PC's BIOS is too old to support a GT 710 graphics card.

The latest BIOS update version for your PC is 7.16.

In order for a GT 710 or newer card to work, the BIOS needs to be v8.1x or higher.

If you want to go through this process to get the video card to work, watch this video...

If it were me, I would just buy a used but tested and working AMD Radeon HD 6570 on eBay.
