Product: Pavilion p6-2130eo
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I have a desktop computer (pavilion P6-2130) and want to change the graphics card, from the GT520 initially build-in by HP to a GT-710 (2GB, silent). The PSU is 300W, so it matches the new card's requirements. I changed the cards, started the computer and now i can see the first HP screen (that indicates "press ESC for boot menu") but it hangs there. After some while, the speaker beeps once. then after some while it beeps again, once. (it takes easily 30seconds between the beeps). Then after again some while, the screen only shows a blinking cursor. So i suppose the gt710 card is not dead, but somehow unsupported ?

Thank you for your help.

HI.

 

Try updating the bios: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers ,if once update is still the same, look at deactivating in bios UEFI. Enter the BIOS disable safe boot and enable legacy compatibility after that install the graph and proba if it gives video, if it also improves is not compatible with your motherboard.

 

In the following link is detailed:http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03653226

 

Regards.

Si usted no tiene una versión más reciente del BIOS, no será posible hacer que funcione, incluso por lo que su placa base soporta GeForce 600 gráficos, máxima GeForce GeForce GTX 650 (GK107, 1024MB GDDR5_5,0Gbps, 128b, 384sp, 64W)

@Danne1,

The real problem is the original OS was WIN 7, with the 7.16 BIOS.  It is not a UEFI vBIOS capable (fall 2012) system.  Newer cards are UEFI, and these cards WILL NOT work within your system.  The GT520 is early 2011, and is "legacy BIOS".  The GT710 is early 2016.  After re-thinking the BIOS issue, @GPU-2 makes a solid suggestion based on your 300W PSU. The GT 630 is a legacy card, and has slightly better performance than the GT 510.

What should be asked it what game play you really expect.

Thank you for answers.

Could pressing F12 right when the screen shows up solve the problem? (It apears to do)

This transfers me to a different screen with all the computer details. After a minute or so, the computers boots as normal.

This is the only way i can get the computer to boot.

Do you know why the computer does boot this way? (Buy pressing F12 and waiting about a minute..)

Just press Alt + F10 to start without the crackling noise. Pressing F12 without touching Esc also seems to work for some. Simply by pressing F1 works, too.

Exactly - and i wonder why?

What does pressing F12/Alt+esc do? Is it harmful? Is there a way to achieve booting without pressing any buttons?
