6 beeps on startup after replacing graphic card H8-1409

Hi,
I'm having trouble upgrading the graphic card on the desktop. The power supply comes with the computer is rated 460W and the min requirement for the new graphic card (Asus GTX660 Direct CU II OC) per manufacturer specs is 450W. After I installed the new card (with the additional power cord plugged in), the computer gives me 6 beeps and the screen doesn't show anything. Is it the problem of the power supply? If so would the case be ok to house a different power supply?
Thank you!

Hi I've found a solution in a different thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/6-Long-BIOS-beeps-after-video-card-install/td-p/239108...
After chaning the BIOS settings I'm able to load windows without any problem thanks for the help regardless!

2009 iMac Blue lines and crashing - Apple replaced graphics card but same problem occurs? Any advice?

Hi all,
So Ive had my iMac 2009 model for a fair few years, and barring getting the hard drive replaced a while part as part of their program, no troubles. Then a month or less ago, I got this weird crash during work. Small cubes of vertical blue lines appeared all over the display and froze everything. The arrow cursor still moved but had to hard reset. Then it would just constantly freeze and the blue cubes appeared again on startup so I could only get in using Safe Mode.
After browsing the web, I heard a backup restore might fix it, which it seemed to, but then it kicked in again. Took it to Apple who could see no hardware issues and the problem didnt occur while I was there because of the restore, it was more intermittent. So I took it home and it happened again.
This time at the Apple Store, they told me it was definitely the graphics card and took it in for repair. Service was great and a few days later I get it back, pay for the repair and come home. All fine and no problem for a couple weeks.
Yesterday it kicks in again! Same problem, cant boot at all outside of Safe Mode, which is erratic, has 5 columns of blue lines across the screen and Mail flickers like ****.
Ive booked it in AGAIN at my local store to check, but my question is does anyone have experience of what this could be, and also if the first repair was wrongly diagnosed and didnt fix the problem, will Apple refund that, or offset it against the actual repair if something else needs replacing?
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated, all the best!
Leo

new card or not, I guess only Apple themselve will know, but Apple Authorised Service Centre can only replace with original card. you may consider to get your fan replaced too, as your iMac is getting old now and the fan might be getting weak to cool your system down.
well, this is only a suggestion. I've been an IT technician for years, and I do encountered graphic card keeps failing till we changed the fan, just sharing my experience.

What replacement graphics card for Mac Pro1.1

My NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card is producing various screen artifacts and freezing on startup,
but not in safe boot mode. From reading this forum and posts for a couple of days I've concluded
that I need to replace my card and am thinking that the +ATI Radeon HD 4870 Graphics Upgrade Kit+
+for Mac Pro (Early 2009 or Early 2008)+ from the Apple site is the one to get.
I should add that I've tried all the usual fixes in case it wasn't a hardware problem. My question is
will the card work with my system (only Apple and Adobe software running OS 10.5.8 and one 20" Dell monitor).
Now I know this question has been asked and answered many times but I seems to work for some
and not for others that's why I ask again mentioning my particular setup in case that has some
importance.
Thanks in anticipation of any advice.

How did you get on with your graphics card replacement?
My original Nvidia GeForce 7300GT is on its way out but I'm reluctant to pay nearly £300 for a replacement. Are there any other options available to me?

Still getting KP after replacing gfx card & having Genius Bar tests...

I've been getting kernel panics when waking the computer from sleep since 10.5.5 and rampantly since 10.5.6. Soon after my nVidia 6800 started displaying artifacts and would not boot unless under safe mode (in Leopard) or by removing the GeForce extensions all together (in Tiger).
I took it into an Apple store and the Genius desk pop in a new card and it booted fine so obviously that's the problem. Before I made a decision on replacing the card I wanted them to their thorough hardware check to make sure it was only the card and it came back clean.
Since Apple wanted $440 for a refurbished 6800 (that couldn't be found for a couple weeks) I got one off eBay for $300. Pop it in, looks good, reinstall Leopard, upgrade to 10.5.6 and start restoring my backups.
Everything was going fine until I put the computer to sleep last night and the next morning, once again, it fails to wake from sleep. Computer "breaths" to life, but the display is dark. Hard shutdown and I get my familiar kernel panics (this is copied from an old post of mine):

After sending an obviously frustrated report to Apple I don't know where to go from here. I was dealing with a woman at Apple's customer satisfaction center. When she gets back to me to check in I'm going to relay this news to her. My initial feelings were this was a bug between Leopard and G5 hardware as others were experiencing it.

LR screwed up after changing graphics card?

After successfully working with LR since version 4 over a long period with thousands of photos I now have a strange problem which I can´t find a solution for on my own.
What´s wrong?
-LR doesn´t show any images, neither thumbnails in import mode nor full images or thumbnails in development view
-There is only a grey area where the photo should be.
-Old photos or newly imported pics all have the same problem.
-switching between files causes loading progress with plausible duration, but the image does not appear
-Histogramm, Metadata etc. are shown correctly, but no image nowhere
-Photoshop/Camera RAW on the same computer with the very same files work without any problem
What did I try to fix it?
-renamed the catalog file and created a new one. No luck. Same effect while importing and after that in the development view only grey again...
-renamed the previews, no luck
-renamed the agprefs file to start with fresh settings which seemed to work because I had to set the user language and so on. But - no impact on the problem.
-searched the faq and several boards, discussions, Google. No answer. Only one user with the same problem, he also got no answer...
What I may have done to get into that kind of trouble:
-I changed my graphics card some time ago. I had a NVIDIA 9800 GT before and changed it to a NVIDIA 640GT.
-I took every OS update, NVIDIA driver update and Adobe CC/LR Update and did not use LR after a couple of such changes.
Some facts about my system:
-Win8, Core i7 920, 6GB RAM, SSD/HD with enough space
-LR 5.3 latest update
Please help. Thanks in advance.

I would first suspect the video driver. Video drivers can cause weird problems, sometimes affecting only one program.
Things I would do, many of which you may well already have done:
First off, set a system restore point, so you can recover what you do.
Check the video driver, and make sure it's the right one.
Try earlier versions of the driver. The NVIDIA 640GT is not new, and may work better on older drivers. My GTX 550 doesn't like the current drivers, and is significantly faster with earlier ones. You can also go into Device Manager and roll back the driver to previous versions. I don't update video drivers unless there's a reason: to fix a problem, say. New NVIDIA drivers are usually only to support new hardware.
Try removing the driver (in Device Manager, use Uninstall for the video card). That makes Windows default to a basic VGA driver, and then get Windows to update the driver (in device manager, update driver). That will get what Microsoft reckon is the latest driver, which is not generally what NVIDIA think is latest, but may be more stable.
If you've still got the old card, try that (just to check whether it is a video card issue).
Uninstall and reinstall LR.
I know that's the obvious stuff, which you've probably done.
PS - as ssprengel says, check the monitor profile. Definitely the first thing to do!

[Solved] Problems after upgrading graphics card

I just upgraded my 8800GTX to a GTX650. I ran "nvidia-xconfig" initially then "nvidia-settings" to make sure both of my monitors looked good. After rebooting I have Openbox running on only my "main" screen. I can move my mouse to the second screen, but when I do the cursor changes to the default X one and I can't do anything there. I also can't drag windows to my secondary screen.
I figure it is something to do with twinview not working properly, or some other xorg.conf configuration problem. Here is a link to my xorg.conf: http://pastie.org/private/zo9fikanxumf4haqaya2eg
Any help would be great.
EDIT: Solved. In nvidia-settings I needed to set both displays to the same X screen

In your motherboard manual it describes how to re-set the CMOS. Taking out the battery would work but it's easier to re-set the CMOS via the jumper pins. It also holds info on bios features and settings in the manual so you might want to scan through that and see if there's anything you might change.
Have you tried the graphics card in another computer? Do you get the same problems?
Ok - I now found out which jumpers to change - thank you.
I have tried putting my old graphics card back in but still had the problem.
On Sunday someone is going to switch ram chips (his are good in his machine) with me and hopefully we'll establish whether or not my physical ram modules are ok.
Seem very strange to me that both of my modules (one was ok a month ago and the other just arrived from Crucial) fail the same test - memtest #7 - random memory but then I'm only an egg when it comes to this stuff.
Many thanks for everyone's help !
Mike
Well I don't know if it's good news or bad news !?
Have just tested my system with a known to be good ram module and ?
My machine failed Memtest #7 - the machine that the 'borrowed' ram came from passes the test.
So I will reset the bios I guess.

Need a Replacement Graphics Card for Light Gaming

My current 7800GT overheats when gaming or even just running GLXgears. I need a replacement of similar or slightly better performance (preferably less than $100) for an nforce4 SLI board. How are the ATI drivers right now? I've heard they still have issues. I'm kind of wary of Nvidia due to the possibly wide spread defects. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Nvidia … ,6248.html
It seems sort of lose-lose. Which graphics card would you recommend?
Edit: Do either of these seem reasonable? Which is better? The 2600XT?

You might be able to fix your current nvidia.
Maybe try removing and re-attaching the heatsink/fan setup and cleaning ou the fan. You'll probably need some thermal paste to re-attach the heatsink, but it doesnt cost much. Keep in mind that graphics cards can run really hot, some have max temps over 150C iirc..
I wouldnt worry about that nvidia thing, it's probably not an issue now.

H9-1130 Won't boot after new graphics card install.

Alright, here we go.
I recently bought an EVGA 750 superclocked for my PC. The first time I installed it, I got a black screen. Popped in the old GPU and checked the BIOS. Ended up updating it.
Now, here's the interesting part: I install the EVGA back into my computer, and it ends up getting stuck at the HP boot logo. I went to another thread on this site regarding pretty much the same question, and the people there recommended checking the PSU and the graphics card. Well, I brought my GPU to a friend to plug into his computer, and it booted up just fine. I did check my PSU aswell, and all seems to be fine there. So, yeah, any suggestions on how I can get this card to work on my mobo?

AMD FX-8120
(old) GPU: AMD 7670
(new) GPU: EVGA 750 1gb Superclocked

Hi,
I have no suggestions on how to get the EVGA GTX 750 to work in a HP PC that has a legacy version 7 bios (non-UEFI).
I do have one suggestion: Contact EVGA and ask for a remendy other than replacing the motherboard or buying a new PC. Don't expect HP to provide a version 8 UEFI BIOS update for your PC. HP didn't start producing UEFI BIOS consumer desktop PCs until the middle of October 2012.
You might try Sapphire as they offer both NVIDIA and AMD graphics that are designated UEFI and those that are not designated UEFI. You need a card that is non-UEFI designated.

Replace graphics card on 27" iMac

Hello
The graphics card on my Late 2009 27" iMac has gone puff!
I've got yellow vertical lines on the screen and the only way I can get the machine to start is by removing the graphics extensions from the library... it's a pain in the but as it makes the machine unusable in it's current state - But I'm cool about it all as it still works perfectly well as a monitor for my MacBookPro
Anyway, all that aside, can anyone tell me if the cards are replaceable or are the soldered onto the mother board and, in short, I'm buggered!!!
I've already replaced the hard drive, so I'm happy enough to dig inside and change the thing if I can, I just did;t want to start only to find that it's soldered on!
If it can be replaced can any one recommend a good retailer in the UK that I can get one from?
Thank you in advance!
if it helps the machines serial number is - VW*****5RU
Regards
Silver!

HP Envy Desktop h8-1414 PC, problem with replacing graphics card

Hi,
I have a new HP Envy Desktop h8-1414 PC. I successfully replaced the power supply with a 400 watt one.
I purchased a Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 1GB DDR5 HDMI / DVI-I / DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11202-00-20G and installed it. However, when I turn the PC on again, the monitor does not receive a signal.
Any suggestions? Do I need to plug the power supply into the 4 pronged connection in between the graphics card slot and the cpu?

This unfortunately did not work for me. In the end of hours and hours of "support" for both HP & Microsoft all I had was a slow computer that I can't upgrade. The system cant run any of the graphics intense programs I use on a day to day basis. In the end I returned it for an Asus with an i7 processor, Windows 7 and a fully upgradable graphics card.
Been happy ever since.

Replacing Graphics Cards in new MBPs

As we all know, the new MacBook Pros come with two graphics cards, one for normal energy-efficient use, and another for 'turbocharging.'
I was wondering if I could replace one of the two with another brand, namely ATI, for broader (ie Source) game support. I know that NVIDIA works for everything, but I've heard bad things about the cards when running Source games (unusually poor framerates).
Is the Energy Saver's options too restrictive for this, or could I make the computer think that say the ATI is the lower card?
-Joseph Durel

Furthermore, the 9400m is not just a video card, but also the machine's chipset which is the system memory controller, and interface to things like USB, etc. Its a hybrid graphics chip / system chipset.
Also, as mentioned before.. Its not a graphics "card". It is not something you can simply remove. It is a permanent part of the machine and simply cannot be removed.. ever.

Replacing graphics card on Macbook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Does any know if it is possible to replace the graphics card in the 2.4GHz intel core 2 duo macbook?
I'd like to upgrade it to a card that fully supports OpenGL version 1.5
The card that is in it now only supports version 1.2

The graphics card can't be changed in a Mac other than a Mac Pro or Power Mac.

Cant replace graphic card

I have IPISB-CH motherboard and i want graphic card. I dont need anithing fancy, only for work. So i first bought Asus Nvidia GT720 and it did not work. Computer wont boot, its stuck on boot screen with BIOS beeping every 20 sec etc. googled it and figure that i have compatibility issue. Ok... weird but ok. So i went to the store and bought lowest card that they had, Gigabyte HD 5450 1024MB crap and it doest work either. Now when i plug it it monitor just goes to sleep when i turn it on..
Ive tried updating bios, chaging cables, and checked graphic on my other PC it works, so apparently this crapy motherboard needs something special. Since there is no list online my question is WHAT TO BUY???

I've found your MoBo specs, but what is the model number of the desk top that it's out off ?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02854392
It's probably the MoBo, but I am also thinking that your power supply isn't up to the task as well.

Replace Graphics Card

I have a Powermac G4 Dual 533 Digital Audio. I need to replace the graphics card. I am looking for a suggestion for the card to get and where I might find it. Thank you.

Hi-
Photoshop will benefit from any graphics card that supports Core Image and later versions of OpenGL.
The Radeon 9800 Pro or XT is a possible choice, or the Geforce 6800 GT or Geforce 7800 GS being two of the top possible choices.
All 4 cards support Core Image and OpenGL 2.0.
Any of the mentioned cards are available on eBay.
A card must be stated as Mac compatible or it won't work.
Prices will range from about $90 for the 9800 Pro, up to $200 for the Geforce 7800 GS (lower can be found).
If you can find one, the Geforce 6800 GT is an excellent performance choice, but any of the mentioned cards will be much better than the OEM that was in your machine.

Display Problems After Installing Graphics Card Drivers

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem that's got me stumped?
I've just upgraded my pc (CPU, Motherboard, Memory, Hard Drive, Sound Card, Monitor) - the only things that haven't changed are my graphics card and PSU.
I've built the system, installed windows and the motherboard drivers, which all work correctly. But after I install the graphics card drivers and reboot, the display becomes all scrambled when it loads into windows. The display is fine with the initial boot and up until the Windows XP screen, with the moving bar comes up.
The graphics card was fine in my previous system and I have tried my old monitor, but neither works. I've updated the BIOS, using the MSI Live Update program and have also tried various versions of the nVidia drivers (including the latest).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
****UPDATE****
I've now managed to install the nVidia drivers and now windows loads normally, but after a short amount of time the screen scrambles again.

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.
