Motherboard- HP 1497
PC- HP Compaq 6200 Pro MT
BIOS- Hewlett-Packard J01 v02.06, 6/9/2011
BIOS Mode- Legacy
Secure Boot Not Supported
Processor- IntelCore i5-2400 3.10GHz 3101 Mhz, 4 cores, 4 logical pro
I installed an MSI GeForce 710 GT 1GD3H LP. It was the only GPU i could find readily without spending money. It worked well for about two days. then after a windows update and restart, I got 6 red beeps when the computer tried to boot. The computer boots normally if i take the GPU out of the port.
I've attempted to update drivers, it was unable to install I attempted to uninstall windows updates. unable to uninstall. attempted BIOS measures included trying to boot with secure booth disabled, its not supported. toggling integrated graphics is also not an option. Im running legacy BIOS, so i dunno.
I found that the GPU was not in my device manager. i selected show hidden devices, and it was there but hidden. i tried to update the driver but was unable to. Ive tried to manually download the drivers from Nvidia, but i get a prompt stating that the device cant be found on my computer.
i uninstalled the current driver thinking that it may have been corrupted. made an attempt to reinstall the GPU. still got the 6 beeps. and now the devices isnt even showing under the hidden option. What is happening?
