Big trouble when changing graphics card on Envy desktop.

My Envy H8-1419 uses the Eyefinity Radeon HD 7570 card. I want to use a Zotac GeForce GTX 650 Ti card (double slot). The card fits physically without difficulty but there is no display on boot (machine beeps, monitor says "no signal"). Desktop seems to meet all requirements re power and system specs. Does something in BIOS need to be reset? Anything else?
This question was solved.

Hi:
You have to change two BIOS settings on your PC when you plan to install a non-HP video card.
After you read the below info, hopefully your current big trouble will only be a distant memory.

  • Changing Graphics Card Settings

    Hi there
    I have a 24 inch iMac and when I run Maya (the 3d software) the timeline does not show up at the bottom of the screen.
    It works fine on my old G4 so what is the problem here?
    I figure I need to change graphics card options somewhere but have no idea where to find them.
    Please help!
    THANKS

    I use maya alot, the timeline will be nothing to do with your graphics, if it was the nothing would show up, just hold space to bring up your hotbox go to display / UI elements and make sure time slider is ticked on, if all else fails just trash your prefences and relaunch maya, im going to presume your not a professional maya user? just assuming since your using a iMac for it which isn't the best chose, also what version of maya do you have? learning edition, 7, 8 or older?

  • Changed graphics cards, now doesn't detect monitors

    *I changed graphics cards on a Mac Pro and now its not detecting the monitors despite booting OSX10.5!*
    Mac Pro
    2 Monitors
    Replacing radeon card with a geforce 7300gt
    Unplugged everything
    replaced card
    Plugged everything back in, power last.
    Powered on
    Monitors are blank (cannot detect signal, autocycling between analog/dvi searching for one)
    I've tried plugging just one monitor in and just a mouse/keyboard.
    I've tried reseating the card.
    I've tried plugging the card into 16x slot #2.
    *Whats so infuriating about this is the computer actual BOOTS!* The keyboard dvd eject button responds, and I can explore the contents of this Mac Pros hard drive through the local network.
    Any ideas?
    What am I doing wrong! ><

    What is the video card you are installing? Is this an ATI 3870? If so did you read the installation instructions before installing? You were to install the software drivers before installing the card.
    Also check that you got the Mac version of this card.

    Please help me in identifying a good graphics card.

    Hi,
    You might get better assistance on the HP Enterprise Business Forum.
    This MSI NVIDIA 750 might be a good choice.

  • Loss of visual display wen changing graphics card

    I want to change my graphic card on my dual 500 G4 (currently running on 10.4.11), however I am concerned that once the old card is out I will loose all visual display and therefore will not be abe to follow on-screen instructions when installing the new Driver. Is this a real problem? if so, how do I carry out this procedure?

    I have installed cards whose instructions called for installing the new drivers before installing the new card. If your new card falls into that category, no problem.
    If drivers need to be installed AFTER the new card is in place, I don't think there will be a problem either. OSX has pre-installed drivers for most cards already; they aren;t the newest but are usually functional. Even without drivers, most cards allow the pass-through of 2D video. Example: new drivers no longer provide graphics acceleration under OS9 any more, but the computer has usable 2D video in OS9. I think you will have no trouble with on-screen assistance.
    For what its worth, this is the forum for the very late PowerMac G4s, the "Mirrored Drive Doors" model and the FireWire800. The older G4s get a separate forum here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=113
    You can get help either place, though. The forum software doesn't make it obvious that the other forum is for the early models,

  • 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!

  • Can I change graphic card ATI radeon 3200 HD to NVIDIA Gforce go series?

    Can I change my graphic card into NVIDIA? cause im a gamerz and I want to have a high graphics when im playing.
    Can i change my ATI 3200 into NVIDIA geforce go series?
    Please help

    Unfortunately graphic card exchange is not possible.
    Every notebook has specific hardware platform and each of them is optimized to work properly (BIOS, cooling system and so on).
    So this is definitely not possible.

  • Pavilion p6-2185ef - PC won't boot when upgrading graphic card

    Hello,
    I recently tried to upgrade my graphic card to a 760GTX (I also upgraded the power supply)
    When I try to boot my computer with the new graphic card (all powered up including those pci express slots), everything is going OK, until the boot get stuck to the screen where I can press escape to access the bios.
    And from there, I can't do anything. The PC won't boot any further, and I can't even access the BIOS when pressing escape (which usually works).
    Since I don't reach the OS booting part, I don't think this comes from windows.
    I tried to disable the PCI security in the BIOS, but then it seems that the displays is switch to the motherboard (even when I use the former graphic card (which still works fine)
    I tried to upgrade the BIOS, it changed nothing.
    I'm welcome to any suggestions on how to solve this issue.

    Hi,
    The NVIDIA GTX 760 will not work in a PC with a version 7 BIOS.
    Open up the Run window and enter: MSINFO32
    Verify your BIOS level.  It should be a version 7 BIOS.
    There are some specific MSI NVIDIA GTX models that should work.

  • [K7N2] Trouble with dual graphics cards

    I have a K7N2-DeltaL (Barton 2600+) which I have used for a while with a Radeon 9600 AGP@8x. To use multiple displays I installed a Radeon9200 PCI graphics card.
    However, I am having trouble getting it to work. The new card works fine alone, both in this and another computer. It works ok together with another AGP-card (GeForce2) on a Abit K7T with Duron 800.
    I have only gotten it to work for a few minutes once, long enough to install drivers etc. Ran it for a while but ended in a BSOD (endless-loop). Otherwise one of the following scenarios occur:
    1) with "Init AGP first" the computer boots but fails to initialize the PCI-video, works ok otherwise.
    2) with "Init PCI first" the computer fails to boot (stops in "Check RTC" according to D-bracket LEDs, or come to think about it, I think it actually only shows one red and no green, have to check that when I am back at it)
    3) with "Init PCI First" the computer POSTs but shuts down and can't be started without removing the power cord
    If after 3) I remove the *AGP* card, it still won't boot until I remove the power cable. After this it works fine with just the PCI-card.
    I am dual booting with XP Professional and WinME, but as it doesn't even get that far I am failing to see that this might matter.
    I am thinking "PSU", but am amazed that it worked in the other computer with the older PSU and not in the new 300W (have not found any Amp-specs).
    Any advice?

    I would have thought that the PCI card used the same power whether it is "init first" or not. Also I would have thought that a power problem would more probably be an unstable computer rather than an unbootable one.
    Could a few more AMPs on the PCI-bus really make that much (consistent) difference?

  • Cannot change graphics card/Old preference pane

    Just received my new Macbook Pro 2.53. Loaded up just great was able to use all the features, but after transferring all of my old data via ethernet I cannot change the graphics card mode! I no longer have the option to. I have the OLD 'Energy Saver' preference pane! I do not even have the larger graphics card under the system profiler.
    Any ideas?
    Running build 10.5.5 9F2114

    After a lengthy call with a rep at applecare, checking this, sending that. He had me remove the battery, unplug the wall outlet and hold the power button for 7 seconds. Popped the battery back in, plugged in the AC and it's back!
    It wasn't so much I had an "old energy saver" pane, but rather the new one wasn't recognizing the 2nd video card.

  • Where is the option where you can change graphics cards?

    I got a new Macbook pro yesterday for $1,499.
    Well I wanted to switch the graphics card so I went into System Preferences>Energy Saver.
    The thing is, I thought it was in the Energy Saver option, but there is nothing about the Graphics cards.
    How can I change the graphics card for my Macbook Pro?

    If your MacBook Pro is one of the models with a dual graphics card, the option to switch between them is at the top of the Energy Saver window: Graphics: • Better battery life, or • Higher performance. The MacBook Pro models with dual graphics cards are: 15" (2.66 and 2.8 GHz) and 17" (2.8 GHz). The 13" and 15" (2.53 GHz) MacBook Pro models have a single graphics card - for these models you will not see the Graphics option in the Energy Saver window. Which model do you have?

  • Big problems with my graphic card and 865neo2

    i am using

    sapphire radeon graphic card
    sound blaster exdigy

    msi cdrw 52m
    there is a very weird problem tt i am facing now,the latest radeon catalyst is 3.8,but when i use this driver,my computer always shut down suddenly when i play games,but when i use catalyst 3.2,there is no problem and everything works well(from 3.2~3.8 all with errors)
    does it relate to agp8x setting? cos radeon9600pro is running on 0.8v right,but why i can only set the votage upto 1.5v?
    anyone knows why?

    Actually there'll be something like this:
    +3.3v -> 28A
    +5v -> 32A
    +12v -> 22A
    -5v -> 0.5A
    -12v -> 0.5A

  • Change graphics Card macbook pro, is it possible?

    Hey, Im just wondering if it's possible to upgrade the graphics card on a macbook Pro, late 2011 model. if so, what's the price?

    No, any attempt to remove or change components on the logic board will void the warranty...because Apple and authorized apple service centers will not attempt to do that.

  • Cannot change graphics card

    I thought I had this fixed:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1755849&tstart=0
    But now after this happening again, I cannot get the same results after repeating the same steps. Basically the section in the energy saver panel that dictates which card to use-- is missing and I'm stuck on the 9400M. The other card does not even show up in system profiler.

    I had this problem too, after migrating from a hackintosh time machine backup. Also, I interrupted the out-of-the-box setup process, and when I resumed the set up various things were glitchy, got trapped in the wireless setup phase, had to force restart.
    The symptom was that in the energy saver pane of system preferences, it didn't list the graphics options, and some text saying "this will require log out" or something like that was splayed over a couple of buttons, all glitchy-like.
    Anyway, I did a clean install of OSX and all's well so far with the graphics card options now appearing in my energy saver control panel -- it's been a day. Haven't migrated again, probably won't. If it reappears I'll post back.
