PC WON'T BOOT AFTER INSTALLING NEW GRAPHICS CARD, HELP!!!!

[Adolffredriksso]

Well I did try the ASUS support, but it kind of sucked. I tried to send a notification of my graphic card issue by filling in a lot of boxes of what kind of specifications my computer have. But it would only tell me when I tried to send it that "The box needs to be filled in", when I actually had filled in all of the boxes.

However, I might aswell buy a new motherboard. My current motherboard is Cleveland Gl-8 by Pegatron. But I'm not sure if there are any motherboard that will allow me to use my current compononents that I have at the moment and also will fit into my computer.

Thanks.

Finding a motherboard that wil be able to use your CPU and memory modules amongst the current offerings from motherboard makers is quite unlikely. 

If you use IE11 when using ASUS support you may have better chance of success than if you use Google Chrome. Some websites are quite picky about browsers they will work with.  I have run into that support issue with ASUS before. The desktop I am using at the moment has an ASUS ROG Crosshair V formula-Z motherboard. ASUS support turnaround time is not very fast. It has usually taken a couple of days to get a response when I have had issues with their products.

Will this motherboard work? And will it fit?

Erico, I tried disabling slot security for my PCI-E x 16 slot and now I can't even access BIOS, absolutely no signal on the monitor ever. Even after I have swapped back the stock graphics card I still can't see anything.
Any ideas?

This is an old thread. Unless your desktop has the very same motherboard, you should have authored your own thread.

Are you using a monitor or an LCD display?

Try a different display.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS?

Have you reseated the memory modules?

How about identifying your PC.  🙂

That way I will be able to see what features are available in your PC's BIOS.

Which video card have you installed? Brand and part number please.

Does it require PCIe power connectors?

Does your PC's PSU meet the system requirements of the video card? (the system requirements are usually stated at the video card makers web support portal for the card)

Always give lots of information and be aware that with video cards there are lots of factors that can cause issues.

Upgrading a video card can be tricky, especially with a manufactured PC.

It's a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070uk, intel i7 2600, 12 GB memory, with a 256SSD I was trying to install a ASUS nividia Geforce GTX 750ti after previously having a EV3a nivida Geforce 650.

I reset the CMOS and it works, thanks alot - should have thought of that myself haha ah well!

Now I have another issue, the old graphics card works again. But when I put the new one in (ASUS nivida geforce gtx 750ti) it starts up to the "press esc to access startup menu" screen. When I press esc it goes to the black screen with my processor info on it, but after that no keyboard shortcut will allow me to access my BIOS. 

Shortly before it gives uo and shuts down I get a short beep(DRAM refresh failure), another short beep and then 3 short beeps (Base 64x ram failure). 

After this I lose all signal on my monitor.

Check on the ASUS forums for more info on modified VBIOS.  

Some manufacturers actually support their video cards to the point of providing a modified BIOS that allows use in manufactured desktop PCs. Some of them don't.  That is why perusing the gamer forums is a must.

It really talkes quite a bit of research to find a PCIe x16 v3 or v2 video card that will work in a manufactured PC.

That is why people like myself and Big_Dave build our own gaming PCs with high end gaming motherboards from scratch. Every single adapter that is put in the slots has been researched for specs and compatibility. We require high spec PSUs of 700-1000 Watts.

Don't expect just any video card to be compatible with your manufactured PCs motherboard. Some video cards require that the candidate motherboard have a UEFI compliant BIOS and some don't.

You just won't know until you research and find one that the video manufacturer is willing to work with you. Spend your upgrade $$ with the utmost care and research.

It isn't the HP dektop's compatibility issue at all. Your PC's motherboard was made to work with very specific hardware and the BIOS was coded to accomodate that hardware.

I know that may not be what you want to hear, but it may be time for you to consider building your own gaming PC. There are websites that can help you with that. You can expect to spend around $600.00 + on a mid range gaming system.
