How do u change the dvi and do port thingys

HP Recommended

@philicheesestea,

 

You still haven't answered previous questions I posted.

 

Anyway, I assume you are using a DVI (from your graphics card) to HDMI (your monitor) cable.

 

Your graphics card, at least from the link you provided, also has two DP (DisplayPort) video ports.

 

So, you'll need a DP to HDMI video cable such as this one: Amazon.com: Amazon Basics DisplayPort to HDMI Display Cable, Uni-Directional, 3 Foot : Electronics.  Come to think of it, you should have one of these, right?  How did you connect your monitor to your PC before you put in the graphics card -or was that also a DVI to HDMI connection?

 

No guarantees that this will work: I only offered this as a troubleshooting step I would attempt to figure out if you are going to get a signal on your monitor through the graphics card using a DP port.  There are two DPs on your graphics card, try out each one.

 

Also, before you do this, turn off your PC, unplug the power cable, and push the on/off button on your PC for three seconds to release any residual power.  Then remove your graphics card, connect your monitor to your PC, and see if it boots up fine without the graphics card.

 

Kind Regards,

Ok, and to answer your questions before, the new backboard for the gpu fits, and I didn’t clean my yet, I’ll do it later when I have time, and the cable that connects my pc to my monitor before doesn’t fit in the gpu cable place

HP Recommended

And I didn’t connect the dvi from my gpu to my monitor like you said, I didn’t change any cables, I just left it as bedore

Ok what I’m saying is kind of unclear, so let me sum it up, so basically, I didn’t change any cables or anything, I left it be, and the cable that connects my pc to the monitor is the vga port, what I see is that the gpu has 3 ports, 2 of them are dp ports, and another is the normal dvi port. I don’t know a lot about computers, so I might get a few thing wrong, but this is as far I can tell and I’ve don’t a little research

update: I think I know what to do now, so I can just buy a dvi cable, and insert it into the gpu and my monitor, but then do I unplug of the old vag cable?

@philicheesestea,

 

All right, this is what is going on.  Once you install a graphics card, the PC will automatically disable its integrated graphics found in your processor.  That means that the video port(s) on your PC don't work anymore -all video output now goes through your graphics card.  So, in order to get a video signal from your PC, you'll have to hook up your monitor to your graphics card, not your PC.

 

Sorry, my assumption was that you knew this.

Hi, I want to change my bios mode from legacy to UEFI mode so I can access the bios menu to turn on intel virtualization, it’s that possible on my pc

HP Recommended

@philicheesestea,

 

You should be able to run your desktop in UEFI mode, but why would you enable virtualization?

 

Reason why I'm asking, is because I ran into various (gaming related) issues with virtualization enabled -for reasons not entirely clear to me, so I disabled this function (in UEFI mode) in all my PC's, such as this one I'm working on right now:
