Product: HP h8-1206eo 1.01
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I try to upgrade my videocard AMD Radeon HD 7570 to a Geforce 1070 GTX G1 Gaming 8Gb. But it seems that the computer/Windows don't start and I can't see anything on my Screen (VGA-screen). Processor is Intel Core i/-2600 and my mainboard is Pegatron Corp. 2AB5 1.01. Both processor and mainboard is orginally in the desktop HP-computer.

Is it not possible to install such a videocard in my computer ?

 

Kind regards

Arne in Denmark

That is a definable  possible solution.  Changing the motherboard to a more modern BIOS on a retail motherboard is a way to go.

Here is the support page for that PC

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-hpe-h8-1200-desktop-pc-series/5187019/model/5292564...

The motherboard is listed as

IPISB-CH2 (Chicago)

That happens to be a highly discussed topic on the forums.  Here are two of them, but the answer to the question is those newer video cards will not work in that PC.

Thank you TheOldMan. That is a possible coclusion that I have a LegacyBIOS- motherboard and need a UEFI-motherboard to run a GeForce 1070-card ?
