What other PC does the card work in? 

Is the other PC one that has an EFI BIOS?

 

The HPE H8-1260t has a legacy BIOS. It requires video cards that will work with a legacy BIOS and that are also low powered.

 

 

You will need a Video card with legacy BIOS support.

 

There have been a number of threads regarding upgrading the video on the H8-1260t PC.

You're welcome!

 

Back during the  demise of  the legacy BIOS and  the advent of  EFI (extensible firmware interface) BIOS,  many of us faced the very same problem.
