RX580 no signal (h8-1010)

Yes my bios is in its latest version which is 7.16 or something I believe I saw. 

I'm happy to read that the card cannot work, which is what I suspected, so i know I'm not doing anything wrong atleast.

I'll just have to try to find a recent GPU that supports legacy like the gtx760 i'm using :/, or buy a new mobo.

Thanks everyone for the help though

reread my answer @Gregzoid 

your power supply is sufficient, the connectors are ok and connected.
All that's left is what I mentioned above, nothing can be changed

remains the possibility of a defective graphics card, but I doubt it a little

[edit]sorry

answered at the same time, we agree so
thank you for validating one of the answers!

Yes i'm afraid so. And savy I've checked but my 7.16 bios doesn't have secure boot or whatever it's called so I can't disable it to allow uefi cards. And there is no update from HP to go to bios 8.x 😞

it is what it is

edit: atleast i learned something new now and something extra to look out for when buying new GPU 🙂

carbon14 dating PC is first in my book.

PC H8 is 2011, made listed as 1st edition docs  bios update is 2012. way way older then w8 and secure boot.

rules of the the road.

with old card in place remove the old GTX driver fully in device manager

then shut down the pC, 

now win 10 will not go nuts using wrong driver ok?

then see is secure boot is on in WINDOWS, "system information)

then power off AC cord pulled, push power button 3 times to discharge all caps in PC , never hot swap cards. ok.

then put in new card, see it works.  YOUR PC IS NOT A SECURE BOOT PC in 2011 nor now. last BIOS 2012, so it states.

off the HP site

All HP and Compaq computers that were manufactured with Windows 8 can use Secure Boot. Secure Boot is enabled by default on these computers. If you upgrade a computer manufactured with Windows 7 or earlier to Windows 8, you can use Secure Boot only if and AMI BIOS version 8 that is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is available for the computer.

if pC is sold with w7 there is no such things as Secure boot, (stated like this)

HP and Compaq Desktop PCs that were manufactured with Windows 7 or earlier do not have a BIOS version that allows the use of Secure Boot and one will not be made available for these computers.

unfortunately my computer came with w7 and not w8 😞

the PSU is ok, the card only needs 10amps more current on the AUX pins, from 75watts (6amps)

each of the 12 maker of card decide pin count 6 or 8 and connector counts, no lie 2x8 -16 is best of best.

Some PSU have weak 12 rails. min has over 45 amps,  as it is single rail PSU. 12v. (550watt) will not crash this PSU.

single RAil 12v is new tech, and amazing huge  power there.

the card is bad?>, but lets do  the acid test , it is very simple.

1.  AC cord pulled.
2. push power button 3  times. Cap discharge tactics)
3.  remove HDD power and Data cable from HDD drive (or ssd ) the boot drive.
4. now there is NO OS.
5. with new card and 8 pin aux connected. power on PC. with AC cord put back now.
6. hammer esc key,  the HP splash screen most show and all BIOS pages must all  work and show,
7. do they work, if yes the card is mostly good, (only gaming and or furmark loaded up tests it at full  load later)
8. let me know. if you get ths far, is reinstalling w10 too much work now? or data loss worries?

this PC is secure boot free, 2012 bios hard proof. (im never really sure  as many folks get beta bios to try I've never seen)

one more trick on existing W10 loads.

in device manager see view hidden devices.

on some I see like 5 GPU cards there , echos of the past, I remove them all .

then remove old cards after power off, AC gone.

and put in new card, now PnP  can work and not messup  with 5 video card drivers there.

w10 is better now, but this can be a gotcha.  this is why other panic and reload w10 fresh, and works.

ALSO 2 more tricks.

w10 installer has an W10 to W10 upgrade, called a inline_update.  does so and no lost data, an amazing feature of w10 !!!!

also the super secret w10 boot 3times and the auto w10 repair sees those drivers wrong and corrects them.

seen all this work me, many times and w10 is a great OS now.

if the card fails the BIOS test,  the card is bad , IMO.

yah that  650  psu is top class single rail at 54 amps.12vdc will run any GPU made ever, 300watt GFU even even futures 500watt cards, wow.

tell me about BIOS testing the GPU carefully'
