Beeping on the motherboard

Alvin_W · ‎01-28-2017

I have the desktop computer HP Pavilion 500-141ea and I have recently got rid of graphics card and bought a new one (Nvidia geforce GTX 460) I installed it and it gave me 6 beeps. The screen didn't load either as well so I was confused. Any ideas as to what the 6 beeps mean and how I can resolve this issue? I have ht erquired specifications for the graphics card as well.

This is the link to my PC http://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c03936079 and also shows my previous graphics card.

Thanks

Alvin

@Alvin_W,

The GTX 460 is a legacy BIOS card. You need to be able to enter the BIOS.

Change Secure Boot to disable, and Legacy to enable.
