6 Long BIOS beeps after video card install

Hello, i recently bought a HP ENVY h8-1437c, Windows 8, I replaced the (NVIDIA GeForce GT 620) With a (Sapphire HD 7770 1GB GDDR5). I hooked up the 6 pin power and made sure that the card is seated properly multipule times.  On startup I get 6 long beeps along with the power LED flashing. Then a few seconds later the power LED turns blue and the PC starts up fine. The card seems to be working fine as well. I have played games on the max settings with no issues, where as before the GeForce card couldent do this. I was reading across the web that it might have something to do with the BIOS secured boot enabled, so I disabled it with no change, same 6 long beep then the PC starts up fine. I guess my question is, is this okay that it beeps? Is it causing any internal issues? The only things I have done so far are adding the video card software, disabled secure boot (using the old GeForce card to get into BIOS) and reseat the new vid card/6pin power wire. Thanks for the help and let me know if you need more info.
Here is the link for my computer specs just in case.

Hi raw2000j,
Why do you want to change to Legacy mode?
Tap the ESC key after powering up the PC and then go to computer setup (f10). Now go to the Security topics and select Security Boot Configuration and disable secure boot and finally enable legacy mode.  See the below example:
I see that there is bios update posted for your PC. You might want to consider applying the bios update before making any bios changes.  Check with HP Support to make sure that the bios update is compatible with your particular model since it appears to be posted for a Compaq PC.

  • Constant loud piercing beep upon startup when GeForce88000 GT video card installed.

    I purchased a 2008 2.8 GHz Mac Pro that has a Quadro FX 1800 Windows video card and Windows 7 installed .
    OSX not re-installed yet (I'm trying to get there).
    So I installed a GeForce88000 GT video card, which is listed as compatible with this machine for Mac OS, and immediately upon power up, and I mean before I can even pull my finger back out after pushing the button in, the beep starts (and never stops).
    This occured when I had both cards installed and when I only had the Mac GeForce88000 GT installed (in that customary first slot).
    When I had both cards installed, Windows booted up normally, there was just this unglodly screeeching beep providing a certan "vibe" for the proceedings.
    Windows still verifies all 16 GB of RAM.
    I tried to search for other posts regarding this issue but came up empty.

    Don't care what Nvidia says.
    It needs aux power.
    All performance PCIe cards need aux power.........
    The following photograph shows a comparison to two other cards. The GeForce 8800 GT (left) is about the same size, and also uses a single-slot cooler. The previous generation Radeon X1900 XT (right) is somewhat longer due to its fixing frame. (Note that the cooler on the X1900XT is not the original one, but as the original it's a two-slot cooler). All of these cards need auxiliary power, the power connectors are on the bottom right on each card.

  • Windows XP hangs on 'spash' screen after video drivers installed on K8N Neo4-F

    Hiya folks - got a MASSIVE post for everyone here...  Sorry but I think it's necessary...  Here goes:
    I just upgraded everything in my computer except for the HDD.  New case, power supply, etc.  I started by copying all important data from my original HDD to a portable USB 2.0 drive.  My data is safe, and intact on that drive.  So...  I formated and repartitioned the oroginal hard drive (1 partition), assembled the system and everything runs perfectly.  The problems come later....
    The Windows installation is insanely fast and smooth...  and the system boots into Windows with no problems after installation is complete.  I didn't even need to install the nVidia RAID drivers because windows detects my single SATA drive fine.  The First thing I do upon seeing the desktop for the first time is: Install nVidia chipset drivers, then AMD Athlon 64 driver (both latest releases).  I then restart and the system boots fine.  After Windows starts, I'm asked for display drivers.  I click 'cancel', as specified in my ATI installation guide, open up the ATI CD and install the drivers via the ATI autorun setup.  At this point, there are no further drivers for me to install and NONE of them have an "!" near them.  So I figure everything is A-Okay and restart... BAM!! - Windows hangs on the splash screen.  The blue bar moves for about 10 minutes, then stops for 2, then moves for 2, and so on...  This will go on FOREVER.
    So...  I boot into safe mode and uninstall the ATI software/drivers with the help of some other third-party programs, schedule a disk check with CHKDSK and reboot.  I startup in Directory Services mode to allow the disk check to complete.  No errors and the system restarts on its own (supposed to).  Now the system boots in normal mode again, but no video drivers installed.  So I download the latest drivers from the ATI website and install them.  I restart, and WHAM! -- same problem.  At this point I'm thinking "bad video card" so again I go into safe mode, remove drivers, schedule disk check, etc....   restart in Dir Serv mode...  "one or more errors found" this time...  but that's okay. 
    After the auto-restart I shut down the computer and unplugged EVERYTHING but the video card, HDD and one stick of RAM... then reset the CMOS, checked battery and PSU outputs (all fine) I then went back into the BIOS to ensure everything is set to 'as safe as possible' and restarted.  Again I tried the latest drivers, and again the same problem after restart.  So I then booted into safe mode, but left the drivers intactthis time.  I scheduled another disk check and restarted again in Dir Serv mode.  After system restart I shut the computer down and switched to my other RAM stick and booted...  same problem.  now I'm DEFINITELY thinking "bad video card" so I plug everything back in the way it's supposed to be, reset CMOS and restart with the Windows CD the drive.  I again format the HDD, etc... and install Windows.
    Now, with another fresh Windows install, having read multiple tech articles, I thought this could be an issue with the NV SW IDE drivers, so I installed the driver pack minus that driver.  I restarted and the system boots fine.  Next, I again tried installing the latest ATI drivers, restart, and SLAMMO! -- again the system hangs on the splash screen.  So, rather than waste my time with disk checks, etc...  I did ANOTHER clean OS install.  This time I decided to try installing video drivers BEFORE the chipset drivers...  no such luck.  I restart and Windows hangs in the usual spot.
    NOW, I'm REALLY getting upset and can hardly contain my fists of rage that crave to desimate the computer case and all its internal componets.  Time to RMA the video card.  I exchange the card for the same type, thinking this will solve my problem, I drive happily home with the new card.  Wouldn't you guess it...  SAME PROBLEM, on ANOTHER clean OS install!!!  Now I'm thinking "bad mobo"? - I don't know because it boots fine and runs fast without video drivers, but it seems to be directly linked to the video card.  So...  I figure "okay maybe these nForce boards don't like ATI cards"...  so I return the Radeon X700 and exchange for a BFG GeForce 6600GT.  Yep, you guessed it, STILL the SAME problem!!!
    I 'm pretty-sure the problem has got to be with the mobo but I can't be too sure.  It doesn't seem too likely because the system boots and runs fine with basic Windows VGA drivers.  Also, if I were to try and boot to VGA mode after encountering this problem, that would not work at all either, in any situation, other than after removing the ATI drivers or installing windows without them initially.  Right NOW, as we speak, I tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers/software via safe mode, I ran disk check, etc...  but the system will no longer boot in normal mode or VGA mode even without the nvidia drivers installed.  I've formated the hard drive and am ready to reinstall again if I can find a solution to this problem.
    If ANYONE can help me it would be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!  I'm not a dummy when it comes to computers but this is pure MADNESS!!!  I couldn't even BEGIN to fit everything else I tried into this forum.  I had to sum-it-up, but I will gladly answer any questions from you 'brains' out there and will monitor this site daily.  I won't ask the question and disappear never to tell of the solution I may or may not find...
    Thanks in advance,
    Eilios

    Hi,
    If you only have one Serial ATA Hard Disk, then you don't need the nVidia RAID Driver. This driver is only needed when you set up a Serial ATA RAID Array or a Parallel ATA RAID array. For this you must have two identical hard drives in your PC, for RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays.
    nVidia SATA RAID drivers supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD. When you install at least two Hard Drives, prepare your mainboard to use SATA RAID and
    set up the RAID Array style you want to use.
    Then you will need to install the nVidia RAID driver, to allow Windows to "See" and use the drives correctly. This is done by pressing the F6 Key, inserting the nVidia RAID Driver disk , and "telling Windows" where to find the driver it needs, at the very beginig of the Windows XP setup process.
    However if you install a RAID driver with just one SATA Hard drive, or two SATA hard drives, (this last scenario not set to be used in an array, but as two different use drives, lets say one for OS and one for MP3 Storage), then Windows begins to load, it will load the RAID driver, but since there's no RAID Array, Windows will keep "looking" for an inexistant RAID Array, and if there's no such RAID array, this will take forever.
    That's why installing nVidia RAID Driver may hang your system (which as you saw is  not really hung), at the Windows Splash Screen, it is just trying to find something that doesn't exitst.
    NOTE: nVidia RAID Controller, supports RAID Arrays into both, the Serial ATA channels and the Parallel ATA (IDE) channels too. But for both options, you always need to have at least two identical hard drives installed to build up and use a RAID Array, which can only be seen by the nVidia RAID Driver, for both Serial ATA hard drives and Parallel ATA (IDE) hard drives.
    NOTE: JBOD stands for Just a Bunch Of Disks = In this scenario, you can combine hard drives of different brands and/or capacities into one big drive that will be seen by Windows as one drive only.
    NOTE: Even if you don't have any RAID array, you must install the nVidia nForce 4 Drivers. You can just leave the nVIDIA SATA Driver check box empty.
    Hope this helps 
    I did not have any RAID or SATA drive in my system, actually these were disabled in BIOS. I had the similar experience though. BTW, why NF4 chiset driver is very important to install if Windows XP drivers can get the job done? Look at my link in the previous post.

  • Help with Video Card Install on Solaris 8

    I have a video card with nvidia4 chipset. After installing solaris 8 on my system I get a screen that is too big to fit on the monitor, so I have to scroll down to see everything. Plus it displays 16 colors. I tried to install the FreeBSD drivers that are availble on the nvidia site but could not run "make" command. Anyone know how to solve this?

    There are two options:
    1. Install the latest Solaris 8 x86 video driver patch109401-14
    available at:
    http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/xprod-Solaris_x86IntelDrivers&nav=pub-patches
    This may add native support for your nvidia chipset. If it doesn't,
    then you have the option to try the new VESA driver which is
    included with this patch as well - the VESA driver is supposed to work
    on all cards that have the necessary VESA support bios routines.
    2. Install the "Solaris XFree86 Video Drivers and Porting Kit"
    http://soldc.sun.com/developer/support/driver/tools/video/video-index.html
    It adds support for many video cards by using XFree 4.2.0 video
    driver modules. It also includes another variant of the VESA driver.

  • How do I get my NX6600GT-TD128E (PCIE) video card installed on a K8N NEO4-F Mb ?

    I have received two new NX6600GT-TD128E (MS-8983) vdeo cards to install on my new K8N NEO4-F (MS-7125) motherboard flashed with BIOS ver 1.B.
    First video card turned out to be bad.  The replacement card allows view of bios screens and post screen, but when Windows XP (pro) starts up, the video goes blank and Windows XP locks up dead.
    Any suggestions as to what I need to do to get the video card up and running?

  • Mac pro 8 core 3.1 randomly freezes after video card upgrade

    Hi,
    I just installed an ATI 5770 as a video card upgrade, plugged my new LED cinema display 27 and everything seems to work fine.
    Sometimes though, while working with Aperture I noticed the Mac Pro just freezes, although the mouse works, I cannot do anything and I'm forced to press and hold the power button for a reboot.
    This happended randomly 5 or 6 times in a couple of weeks and only while working with Aperture.
    Any thoughts? Anyone having the same issue?
    Thanks for your reply.
    Guido

    Running Lion or SL?
    Tried holding Shift key down and do a safe boot after those freezes.
    Use Disk Utility from another boot media to repair your drive.
    Do you have enough RAM? is Aperture library on non-boot drive? Does it have 30% or more free? more is better. Same for the boot drive which sholdk be small and 50% free.
    Corrupt library. Corrupt preferences (if there were none before, there likely are now after those hard restarts, to data files and to the disk directories).

  • Video Card install problems

    I have been having problems getting past the video card setup. I have a ATI Rage Pro 8m/b, whenever I select it as an option and test it (or any other card in the family like xpert@play ) the xserver reports it could not find a mach64 controller. The only way I can get the install to complete is to use the generic 64x480 16 colors driver. Now that it is installed and semi-working, could someone let me know how I can change the driver after the O/S is installed. I have not patched the O/S yet.
    -Chris

    If "dtlogin" is running, stop it with "Options" ->
    "Command line login". Login on the text console
    as user "root", then run "kdmconfig" to configure
    the video card.
    When you logout from the text console, dtlogin is
    restarted automatically with the new settings after
    10-15 seconds.

  • Mid 2007 24" imac only boots without video card installed

    , do i need a new one or is it something else?
    one day it decided to not boot. No chime, black screen. Can hear fans and cd/dvd spin.  Diag. leds 1,2&3 lit 4 is not.  Did some googling, and eventually found out that if i take the MMX ATI 2600HD video card out of the computer and turn it on, it boots up fine (still no chime however) and i am able to use screen sharing from my other mac to access it. Everything looks and works as normal, only there is no screen of its own. the keyboard wors fine, mouse, cd/dvd drive etc.  I have already purchased and installed a new PSU at $120 which did not fix a thing, so i am hesitant to just assume that buying a new video card will solve my problem. so my first question is, will buying and installing a new video card fix it? and if so can i purchase an upgraded video card other than the stock ATI 2600HD? i have heard that there is an NVIDIA card that is compatible a GeForce 8800 GS 512MB i believe. and third, if it is compatible, will it work with the Heatsink for the ATI 2600HD or do i need to buy that as well??
    I am trying to avoid the BS canned answer that apple loves to give as a solution, which is replace the logic Board. At nearly $1,000 I'll spend my time and effort it may take to actually find the reason it broke and attempt to fix it rather than just replace the whole thing with a new one. any suggestions or advice graetly appreciated. 

    so, a strange development on my imac problem. I have ordered a new video card for it, a 2600hd pro. today out of curiosity i punched the numbers i could find from the card that was in there and it comes up as a ati 2400xt card. that card was the one for the 20" model not my 24". whats up with that? does that mean that when my new 2600hd pro gets here it will not work in my system? I sure hope so or apple has some splaining to do!

  • Chimes, no video, no boot when video card installed.  Cause?

    Dual G5 2.0 (late '04?)
    Used for 5 years, then system started suddenly powering off. Eventually wouldn't boot. Tried swapping out ATI X800XT vid card for a 9600 (both AGP) & it worked again for a couple days, then wouldn't boot again. Put it aside for a while, came back to it yesterday, and came to these conclusions:
    1) with X800XT installed, the system (PSU) clicks once, then nothing. no chime, no lights, no fans.
    2) with 9600 installed, it chimes, power light on & steady, fans start, I hear the HDD click once, then nothing. no video out. eventually the fans go into overdrive.
    3) WITHOUT a video card, it chimes, light on, fans OK, and I hear the HDD running through what I assume to be a boot sequence.
    4) I have reset the PMU and replaced the battery. Also tried CMD-CNTL-O-F. Nothing.
    Thinking it might be the power supply? Where do I go from here to diagnose the cause?
    If it's the logic board, I'll tear out the guts & sell on ebay. If it's the PSU, I've read about someone replacing it with a standard PC ATX supply (don't want to spend the $$ for a G5 PSU.)
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    OK, assuming you have file sharing enabled, when you bring the machine up without video card, can you connect to it from another computer on the same LAN?
    The fact that either video card blocks the boot is suggestive of maybe a power supply problem, though in my experience an overload condition perceived by the power supply will result in a click from the supply and the machine powering down completely.
    That was a situation I had some time ago before replacing the supply. What would happen was that in a non-safe boot, when the kexts for the Ultra6800 loaded, the current draw would increase and the supply would trip itself off. (Puzzling mystery solution revealed just now in formulating the reply. Thanks.)
    That being said, the fact that safe boot doesn't help plus the other differential symptoms between the cards really does suggest a failing power supply. A new supply around the web is on the order of $200, but there are plenty of used ones on eBay for much less, occasionally even a new one goes at a bargain.
    One thing you could do is blow the probably well-stocked dust supply out of the power supply. Better to remove and do that outside, but you can make something of a dent with the power supply in the enclosure. Just be sure to do it outside, because the dust that can come out will probably be pretty nasty. (Of this I have personal experience!) Of course, under what you have reported, this has a slim chance of actually helping.

  • BIOS And new Video card

    So i am buying a new video card MSI GTX 970 and my PC is an h9-1300ex so i was wondring if i need to update bios or anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Your PC should be able to run the GTX 970. Open up your PC and check the auxiliary PCI-E power connectors and make sure that your PC has the correct plugs based one the GTX 970 model that you plan on using.  

  • No Sound After Video Card Upgrade?

    I'm hoping somebody can help me.
    I have a HP m8070a Media Center desk top computer.
    I have recently been converting some video files to use with iTunes and for my PS3 and found that the processor was running at maximum capacity and was taking a long time. To try and improve things I have upgraded the to 2GB of ram from the original 1GB, at the same time I have fitted a new graphics card to try and reduce some of the load from the main processor, originally it was integrated. Since making these changes I now seem to get no sound from the 3.5mm jacks at the back of the unit. I'm only running this cable to the monitor which has in built speakers.
    My question is this, is it possible that by removing the original card to fir the new graphics card have I also remove the audio output. I guess I asking was that one board taking care of both audio and video.
    Thanks
    Jon

    Well I found a solution for my audio however I am not the original poster so I will let someone else decide if it is solved.  In case somone else runs into this I will post my solution.
    Problem 1 was that my Realtek Chip Set did not show up on any administrator settings or hardware options at all.  There was no way to check properties, update driver, select enable or uninstall and reinstall that all the usual fixes would involve.
    Eventually my search from Microsofts site led me to the Tech Republic site where I found a tuturial on how to see hidden devices in the Device Manager.  I had already tried the obvious - selecting show hidden devices under options however nothing new appeared.
    Here are the steps from  http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6176798.html?tag=rbxccnbtr1

  • Weird doings after Airport Card install

    I have an early 2009 Mac Pro that didn't have an Airport Card, so I decided to install one. I figured it'd be easy, but it took multiple tries to get those little wires attached to the card.
    So, when I restart the Mac, the card worked fine, but I'm got beach balls upon start-up of applications and the internet through the ethernet wire port seemed slower.
    I reset Vram, repaired permissions and still had slowdown,then ran both the short and long hardware tests, and they came out fine. But now, suddenly everything seems ok, which is really weird...any ideas?

    doivey, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I updated my father's iMac (17-inch flat panel 1 GHz) from 10.2 to 10.3 and installed an Airport Express card.
    There is no "AirPort Express" card so I assume that you mean the AirPort Extreme card.
    It's a long shot, but you could try resetting the open firmware. The procedure is
    Start up into Open Firmware by pressing and holding the Command-Option-O-F key combination during startup.
    At the Open Firmware prompt, type: reset-nvram
    Press Return.
    At the Open Firmware prompt, type: reset-all
    Press Return.
    If that doesn't work and assuming that you installed an AirPort Extreme card, one or more of the following is true:
    The card is installed incorrectly.
    The card is defective.
    The iMac's motherboard is defective.

  • Beeping MSI Video Card n9800GT

    Hey everyone!
    I have been having issues with my MSI graphics card. Recently, I had to fix my computer and replace the motherboard, and while I was at it I decided to get a new cpu and graphics card. I had purchased a MSI n9800 GT Graphics Card, which has 512 MB and DDR 3 memory.
    We installed the hardware today, but as we got to the end I had to buy a new power supply unit for the 9800, for I didn't have enough plugs, nor the type of plug. When we installed everything well, it all worked perfectly except the Graphics Card.
    What occurs is that the cpu, and all of the hardware works well, but when we got the power cable, and we plugged it in it started beeping! Now it beeps in a continous and monotonous rythm every 1 second. Thus, we tried taking out the internal power cable, and it didn't beep. It was only when we put the power into the Graphics Card it did beep.
    The new PSU is a 430 Watt Thermaltake, the older one which was about a year old is a 450 Watt Power Supply unit.
    Also, when we turn the computer on and its hooked up onto a monitor, no display neither occurs on the monitor when using the convertor to a normal monitor cord.
    We did not install the SDITI setting that is deemed optional. We placed in the Graphics card into the appropriate slot, and we then later inserted the power.
    Any help upon this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Vladimir.

    The 6 pin power cable that comes with the psu which you plug into a n9800 graphics card to provide it extra power. The PSU cables, which come with different sockets; 6 pin, 4 pin, 3 pin, etc. When we plugged the 6 pin power cable (that comes from the PSU into the GPU MSI n9800GT), and started the system (by plugging it with power), the computer starts beeping, most likely the motherboard! BUT, when we do not put the 6 pin power cable into the GPU, and again start the system as I have said above, the computer DOES NOT beep!
    I have no other machine to put it in that is compatible with that graphics card.. We have also been told by some technicians, they say that the power supply might not be good enough and they're talking about 500 Watt PSU  , but it says on the specifications that it is good enough with a 400 Watt power supply. That comes back to your suggestion, that a more powerful PSU like isn't 400 good enough if it asks for it? I have a 430 PSU and now going to replace it with a 450 which was my old one. I bought the 430 because I didn't have the connector. The people we asked also say that maybe we should take the graphics card out and put it back in to see if its in properly and we are trying to do that, or that the graphics card might be defective.
    But I have expressed the problem as much as I could, and added my computers specifications to my signature as described in the sticky in the VGA products section. I am going to take it to a computer shop tomorrow, for I tried to take out the graphics card but it seems to be stuck in good.

The people we asked also say that maybe we should take the graphics card out and put it back in to see if its in properly and we are trying to do that, or that the graphics card might be defective."
    The watts means not much. You should look for amperes at +12V line, to be single rail and quality PSU.

  • Bluetooth no longer sees iPhone after IOS 5 install

    After completing my iOS 5 installs for both my 3GS and iPad 1, I can no longer pair my iPhone with my iPad.  Has anyone else had a similar problem?  Oh yeah, I cannot sync my ipad with iCloud, even after doing a system restore on my iPad. 
    Epic fail of the rollout, Apple.

    Do you have "Personal Hotspot" in your Settings on iPhone 4?  Do you have tethering active with your carrier?
    For many who upgraded their iPhone's to iOS Personal Hotspot got hosed.  On the phone, goto Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings and then reset the device.

  • Acrobat Pro X no longer starts -- even after trying re-installing

    OK. Opened a *.pdf file.  Saw the file open a for a little bit, then the program closed by itself. Tried to re-start and it wouldn't.  Re-boot the computer, no.  tried to access it different ways. Nothing, not even a error message or any kind.  Downloaded the program installation file, and repaired the installation.  Still didn't work.  When back to the CS6 installation files and tried re-installing.  Still it won't start.  Other CS6 programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), all still work.  what's going on and how can I get it working again?  OS is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
    Thanks.

    Here is what I believe to be the problem. It is not that Acrobat is broken, it is that you cannot get it out of trial mode. Even though you have a valid license for a suite of apps such as CS6 Design and Web Premium, and have activated the suite, after 30 days Acrobat stops launching because the 30 day trial has expired. You do not have to reinstall Acrobat if this happens. If you go into another app such as Photoshop and "Deactivate" the program, once you re-launch and re-activate Photoshop, Acrobat will start working again. Unfortunately this still is not removing Acrobat from Trial mode and 30 days later it will stop launching again. You then have to repeat the deactivate - reactive process of Photoshop to fix the problem yet again for another 30 days fo use. Very frustrating.
