hp 800 g2 mini pc

[Tenchman8476]

Hi

I purchased an HP 800 G2 Mini PC. I decide to upgrade a few things, memory, SSD drive, and CPU after upgrading the memory, replacing HDD with SSD NVME, and processor up to Intel i7-6700 which I believe is compatible, machine boots up but no signal on monitor, and bleeping, no bios screen either, took sometime trying to figure out the problem to no avail, I reinstalled the original CPU and get the same issue, bleeping and no signal, I tried resetting bios with the jumper, after that its boots up and runs but still no signal.

any advice would be grateful

@Tenchman8476,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Question: did you clone your HDD to your M.2 NVMe SSD with cloning software such as Macrium Free Reflect, (assuming this happened with your original processor still installed), then removed your HDD and did your HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Desktop Mini boot up?  -At this point, did you have to access BIOS to change your primary boot drive to your M.2 NVMe SSD?

And yes, an Intel i7-6700 is very much compatible with your desktop as per http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04828077.pdf, and it has integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 530).

hi

thanks for your response, no I did not clone the hdd, here is what I did. I removed the hard drive and replaced with NMVE M.2

I removed the memory to upgrade to 16gig

I then removed the processor i5-6500 and replaced with i7-6700

there is no operating system on the SSD as I was going to do a clean install on new SSD

i was told that you have to update the bios if you put a new processor in, but after putting all the said above into machine, rebooted no signal for display on monitor so cant update bios

@Tenchman8476,

All right, please refit the original drive and remove the M.2 NVMe SSD for the time being.

Keep the new processor and the new

RAM installed -btw, please provide the RAM part number(s), and see if you can reboot.
