Motherboard Erica don't support Nvidia GTx 6xx (HP Pavilion Gaming TG01-0202ng) Board ID 8643

[Exp72]

I have a HP Pavilion Gaming TG01-0202ng (Board ID 8643) and wanted to replace the graphics card.

An Nvidia GT 630 and GTX 660 (1x 6Pin power connector) does not work in the system (no picture).
A Radeon R9 285 (2x 6Pin power connector via adapter) works fine.

I searched for a newer BIOS, but on the page for the TG01 there is only F.23 and the system already has F.30.

Any idea how to get the Nvidias to run?
Has anyone tried a GTX 970?

Thank you.

Hi:

If your PC has a secure boot setting, try disabling it and see if the card works then.

Hello
indeed I will have indicated this, it worked several times for other users
But tell me, I'm curious and maybe I'm getting the wrong idea

TG01-0202ng Product Specifications

So you have an origin according to the support here

NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 Super ™ (6 GB GDDR6 dedicated)
is it not more efficient, why change it, it is out of service?

And why not try a newer card, this motherboard must be able to work with a much better card than a GT 630?

the power supply may not be enough but for example:

Perfekt, I enabled Legacy Support and now the card is working.

I think this disables UEFI but who cares.

I also tried a GTX 960 an this was working with default settings (Legacy Support disabled).

Yes the computer comes with a GTX 1660 Super, but I'd like to use the card in my other computer.

Glad that disabling secure boot/enabling legacy mode worked.

Disabling secure boot does not normally disable UEFI mode.

But if you had to enable legacy mode in order to disable secure boot, then yes, UEFI mode is also disabled.

On my business desktop PC's I can enable/disable secure boot and the BIOS is still set on UEFI.
