I want to install a new video card is my computer like it suggests here https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c02906767, but there isn't another 1 to remove fro th pci express times 16 slot.  If i put the new video card in the pci express times 16 slot, is it going to create a problem with the other video card in the computer that I can't seem to see?  Does anyone know where I might find the other video card, is it attached to the mother board in another place?  I've never seen anything like this before, I'm confused.

The video solution of your desktop PC is an integrated part of the motherboard. That is why you can't see it. 

 

The BIOS will disable the onboard video when you install a compatible PCIe x16 video card.

 

Your motherboard will only allow a non-EFI video card to work. 

 

That means that most "gaming" video cards won't work on your PC.

 

Sapphire technology still manufactures legacy video cards that will work on your PC. The Radeon r5 and most r7 series will work in your PC. You will also need to upgrade the PSU in order to have the required PCIe power cable to connect to any video card with power. The low power varieties do not require a PSU upgrade.

 

NewEgg.com is a good source for video cards.
