Hello,
I have recently bought a new MSI Radeon 460 2gb, and when I press the power button, everything seems to work except there isn't anything showing up on the moniter. I don't hear any beeps. Bios has been upgraded to 7.16. Fans are spinning and everything is plugged in correctly.
Specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz, 3101 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date: AMI 7.16, 10/5/2011
BaseBoard Manufacturer PEGATRON CORPORATION
8GB Ram
300Watt Psu
Please help me!

@Jungse, welcome to the forum.
Your new video card requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a Legacy/standard BIOS. HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012. Your BIOS can't be upgraded to UEFI. I suggest contacting the manufacturer's Tech Support to see if they have a VBIOS for the card that will allow it to work with a Legacy BIOS.
Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.

I understand what you're saying, but in my system setup menu that I can enter during the boot up, it says that I have both UEFI boot sources and legacy boot sources in my boot setup tab. Does this mean I have UEFI?

Thank you for the additional information, @Jungse.
No, your system came with Win 7 and a 7.xx series BIOS. This is not compatible with UEFI.

I have also read around the web that the RX 460 can be installed in legacy bios, and that It supports UEFI but isn't needed.
Is there anything else that can be causing this problem?
As I suggested, your best option would be to contact the manufacturer's Tech Support to see if they can help you. They are the experts on their cards.
