I bought a HP Pavilion p6-2104ed years ago but wanted to change the GPU. I transported all the hardware into a new case (Coolermaster 280), upgraded the standard PSU into a Seasonic 650 W 80+ Gold, and bought a new GPU (GeForce GTX 960 2G).
The computer works perfectly in the new case with the old GPU (HD Radeon 7550) but does not boot with the nw GPU.
When I start the computer, the first start up screen shows up and a total of three beeps appear before the screen turns black with a little flickering dash in the upper left corner. It is like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9F0LWwZD3w
-I did connect the GPU with a PCI cable for the power and its lights and fans turn on.
-There should be enough power to run everything (650W).
-I deinstalled the drivers before installing the new GPU.
-I updated the BIOS via this link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-p6-2100-desktop-pc-series/5187028/model/.... (not completely sure if I succeeded tough)
-I doubt that there is a problem with my RAM as the three beeps can indicate because the computer works fine with the old GPU.
What can be the problem and how can I solve it?
-Does it maybe have to do with Legacy / UEFI settings? The MoBo should be compatible (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03235578).
-Is there a problem with the BIOS?
-Does it maybe help to disable the integrated GPU? If yes, how. I cant seem to find the right settings.
-Am I misunderstanding something?
An overview of all me specs (Partly Dutch):
