Hi:

 

Your PC has a legacy BIOS with the highest revision of 7.16.

 

In order to run a Nvidia GT 7xx or newer, your PC's BIOS has to be at the 8.xx revision.

 

You can try and find a used but tested and working GT 610 or a GT 210.

 

You can also try to get the card to work by watching this video. 

 

Bear in mind you will need to do this every time you turn on the PC...

Note: You can just press F1 at the HP boot screen to boot it without the crackling noise. Pressing F12 without touching Esc also seems to work for some. Alt + F10 has been reported to work, too. Note 2: Not all Cupertino2s are built equal, it seems, and some of them will still fail to run free ...
