I'm trying to add a video card in order to use its HDMI port.  I have placed it and the fans on the video card are running correctly however the PC is not recognizing it in device manager.  How do I fix this?

With the case and power supply your PC has, the 6450 is about the best you can do. 

 

The Nvidia GT 210 low profile should work too.

 

I believe that they both come with 1 GB of video memory.

Hi:

 

What model graphics adapter did you install?

 

Your PC's legacy BIOS will not support anything newer than a nVidia GT6xx series or AMD HD 6xxx series graphics card.

HP Recommended

It's an Asus r7240-2gd3-l

HP Recommended

That card is too new for your PC 

 

If you want an AMD card, I recommend the Radeon HD 6450 low profile. 

 

You should be able to find plenty of them for sale on Ebay.

Oh excellent.  What would technically be the most "powerful" card I could install?  The amd 6450 like you said?  I want to be able to run a few games even at low settings in order to host a server with this pc

Sorry to bug you again Paul but just want to make sure before I buy a card and it's not compatible. I found a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 PCIe Low Profile Video Card 11192-18 10032, would this work with my system?

It's not much more expensive than the HD 6450, and Ive also found the gigabyte version of that.

If my 220w PSU wouldn't be strong enough I can probably spare a few more bucks and get a 400w one from eBay
