Can a p6-2330 run a gtx 750ti?

I have a HP p6-2330 with a MSI MS7778 board and I'm about to upgrade to the A10-5800K, and I was wanting to upgrade my video card (EVGA GT 610) to a EVGA GTX 750Ti. I have 22GB of RAM. I have been slowly but surely adding to my Steam library, and one of my favorites is Skyrim, which runs fine, but I'd love better graphics for it. Will the GTX 750Ti work with the MS7778 Jasmine board? I have been researching this for a while and I have seen many people saying different things, like BIOS won't accept the GPU, and some saying it booted up with flying colors and no BIOS hacking needed (which I don't want to have to do because I don't have the skill). If anyone can help, it would be very helpful!

Hi,
Your PC has a version 8 BIOS so most of the newer graphics cards should work. However, your PC only has a 300 watt power supply.  The NVIDIA GTX 750 is an excellent card for use with a 300 watt power supply.
If you want to use a higher performing graphics card then review this posted article.  You will also need to install a bigger power supply that is sized to meet the graphics card manufacturer's recommendations.
The motherboard in your PC only has a four pin (4) ATX auxiliary power connector. If you are thinking of a high wattage graphics card then be careful as the motherboard in your PC is a consumer level board that is not designed for high wattage graphics cards. Most of the better enthusiast level motherboards have an eight (8) pin ATX auxiliary power connector.  I don't have a "rule-of-thumb" for what the upper wattage limit should be with a motherboard that only has a four (4) ATX auxiliary power connector as PC configurations will vary.  Another consideration is that the PCI-E x16 slot in your PC only only generation 2 which will limit the performance of higher end graphics cards.  You will have to check with the graphics card manufacturer and make sure that the graphics card that you are considering is downward compatible with PCI-E generation 2. Some graphics card specifications state compatibility with generation 2 and others don't say anything.  Do some research before you buy.

  • Trouble installing Asus GTX 750ti Graphics card on i7

    Pavilion i7 [email protected] (2011)
    Trying to upgrade from GeForce 545 graphics card to new ASUS Geforce GTX 750Ti.
    Hi  - After fitting the new card I get a blank screen after the initial blue setup screen. I have already read various detailed threads on exactly this but am not sure what to do.
    I have  few options from what I can figure out.
    1. One thread tells me how to go into the setup menu and 'disable secure boot'  - others tell me this won't work (??)
    2. Another very detailed thread says I must update the BIOS to a version 8 . I just did an update via HP support but it is still version 7 - the automated system doesn't let me install a newer version - not even sure if i should or how to(??)
    3. This is from another thread ;-
    'HP usually stops producing BIOS updates after one year from the model's initial release date which for your PC is May 2012.  You need a version 8 BIOS in other to get the EVGA 750 TI to work.  If you search the forum you will find many posts where many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 models have failed to owrk in PCs running a legacy BIOS ( not version 8).
    The below NVIDIA GTX 750 models should work as these models will work in PCs that have a legacy BIOS or a UEFI BIOS.
    MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF'
    This suggests I simply give up on the ASUS card and get one of the cards listed above.
    I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some advise. I don't feel confident messing about too much with the machine and would like a simple solution even if it costs a bit more. If I knew 100% these other cards would work I'd just exchange the ASUS.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Interesting quotes, probably some from me.
    Here is another thought for you.  "Not every graphics card will work in every PC" Even graphics cards that work in one particular PC may not in fact work in a similar model or the exact same model.
    Look for a NVIDIA 660 or 670 and a power supply to match the recommendation by the graphics card manufacturer.
    BTW - You will probably not see a version 8 BIOS for the Pavilion models with the i7-2600 processor.

    Hi,
    Be sure to apply the latest post BIOS update for your PC.   Boot into Computer Setup by tapping the ESC key at power on then select F10.  Go to the Secure topics and Security configuration and disable Secure Boot and enable legacy mode and save the changes. Reboot and apply the BIOS update.

    Some of the NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards require an auxillary 6 pin PCI-E power connector and your PC doesn't have one. Try one of the below models.

  • Installed new graphic card (ASUS Geforce GTX 750ti. PC stuck at the blue welcome screen

    Hi,
    I just bought the ASUS Geforce GTX 750ti STRIX OC Edition (without external power connector).
    After I installed it, I wont get past the HP welcome screen. It gives one beep 3 times, and then 1 and 2 short before the screen turns black.
    My computer is:
    HP P7-1072sc
    (I have installed a 500w power supply.)
    Running on windows 7
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    There is a BIOS update posted for you PC but I don't think that it will solve your problem.  You might want to install it and see if anything changes.
    You may have to RMA the graphics card back to ASUS.  ASUS may be able to flash the BIOS on the card to make it work or replace it with a different graphics card that will work.
    Many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards are enabled for a full UEFI BIOS PC and your PC is not at that level.

     Is the gtx 750ti is compatible with my inspiron 3847mt without adding more parts in the computer
    - Means i assemble the gtx 750ti with my computer but do it needs extra parts or not, tell me if there are.

    Hi,
    This machine has been tested with 2 graphic cards - the NVIDIA® GeForce™ GT 620 and AMD Radeon™ HD 7570.
    This does not support a GTX series since it can handle only GDDR3 memory interface. Considering this, if you need to use the GTX series, you will need to upgrade the motherboard and will have to contact a local 3rd party service center for the same(since we do not support motherboard upgrades)
    Hope that clears your query.

  • Gtx 750ti and h8-1114

    I bought myself a EVGA gtx 750ti for my h8-1114. The HP came with a gt 520 card, and it seemed fully compatible and I got it into the PC properly.
    But I get the beep problem and i can't open any BIOS menu.
    Some people have said that the 750ti is just not compatible with this HP? Do the BIOS have to be updated? I wouldn't want this card to go to waste: do I have to buy a new and updated motherboard?
    The reasons why the 750ti isn't working is confusing me, could I get some help?
    I uninstalled the gt 520's driver before doing the card swap, and right as I type this Im using the same HP because I reverted back to the gt 520 and reinstalled the driver.
    Any tips on what to do with this 750ti if nothing can work Just save it for when I possibly build a pc?
    Thanks for any responses

    For the card you bought, I do not find a solution.  The 700 series cards will not work with that motherboard.  It seems I read the 600 series would work, it one of them might be OK with you, I will do further research for you.

  • My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running...

    Please help!! My Powerbook will not power up, but I can hear the fan running when I press the power button to attempt to power it up. I just received a new power adapter because it wasn't working properly and it was doing this before and then it worked for a week and now it will not power up at all. It just starts the fan but nothing else turns on. When I plug the adapter, with the battery still connected, it will look as if it is charging but then the light on the plug turns from green to orange then off and doesn't power up at all. If I take the battery out and plug in the adapter, the light stays on but it does not power up except for the fan noise. Does anyone have any suggestions? I also followed the two articles listed online in regards to resetting the power setting and the command + alt + P + R as well. Nothing works. Thanks in advance.....

    Same here. If I start up with the power adapter attached, it starts up fine. If I try to start up from battery only, the fan comes on, the sleep light comes on but nothing else happens. I tried letting it sit that way for about 15 minutes and nothing changed. I tried attaching the power cord while in this mode and nothing changed. I tried the PMU reset a couple of times but nothing helps.
    This computer is just over 1 year old and I have not had any problems with the power cord (3rd party), the battery, or any problem like this before. It started after a proper shutdown last night and attempt to start without the power cord this afternoon.
    Any answers to this yet? I think I'll call on this and report any success to this discussion.

  • How can I get iTunes running on Windows XP as well as a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize my new iPhone 4S?  It seems to work fine with Win 7 PC so far, but not at all with the XP OS separate laptop.

    How can I get iTunes running on a Windows XP machine as well as, separately on a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize and sync with my new iPhone 4S?  I have different libraries on each machine which I need to sync with the iPhone, both in iTunes.  It seems to be workiing fine on the Windows 7 machine, but not even reconizing the device at all in iTunes on Windows XP.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

    I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard.  Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)

    It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the  size and RAM installed.
    "Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
    What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
    I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
    Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

    The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go.

  • Satellite M30X-129: Can recovery CD be run from an external drive?

    My wifi appears to have packed up - recognises wireless networks nearby but won't connect to them - so I am trying to use the Product Recovery disc in the hope that this might restore the wifi.
    However, the DVD Multi Drive is not working properly - the light flickers briefly to indicate some sort of activity but no disc shows up in My Computer. I'm thinking that if I buy the External Drive, I can run the Product Recovery disc from this.
    Is the Toshiba External DVD SuperMulti Drive (PA3454U-1DV2) compatible with the Satellite M30X-129 P-M 735? Can Product Recovery be run from an external (bootable?) drive?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi
    According to this Toshiba page the drive is compatible with your unit:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/options_and_accessories_search_by_model.jsp?servic e=EU&selSeries=-1&selFamily=2326&selCategory=2319&family=2326&selP roduct=98795
    The fact is that only this boot device options are available: USB-FDD/HDD/ODD/LAN
    I know that you can only boot from the external CD/DVD drive if the device support this option and the unit.
    In my opinion to be100% sure you should ask the ASP for the opinion.
    But know another question: Did you boot from the recovery CD to recover the OS?
    If you want to recover the OS you have to boot from this CD and not to start it under Windows. Check it

    Mac doesn't boot
    Can you hear the fans and hard drive and see the white boot screen? Flashing question mark? The circle just runs and nothing happens? Only black screen and nothing else? These can be very helpful to diagnose the source of the problem. [1]
    Flashing question mark [2]: This is usually a sign of a failed hard drive. This indicates that boot up volume can not be found.
    Black screen: This is usually a sign of a failed logic board. There is no single reason for this and this may be caused by failed GPU, screen, CPU or RAM.
    Circle of death/no circle/blue screen: This is usually a sign of a hard drive failure. This may NOT be a dead hard drive, just broken permissions or something
    Gray screen/Apple logo/spinning gear or globe/prohibitory sign/folder with flashing question mark [3]: This could be a sign of faulty hardware but more likely a software issue, i.e. broken permissions, failed software update, etc.
    [edit]
    What to do
    First, hold down the option key (also known as the alt key) just after you've pressed the power button. This should show all the available options to boot from, so if you have Windows installed through Bootcamp or a disk in your SuperDrive, you should be able to see them along with your OS X drive/partition. Select the OS X partition with arrow keys and press enter. Startup key combinations
    If that doesn't help continue doing the steps from below:
    1. SMC reset [4]. Shut down and unplug all cables including power cord for at least 30 seconds and then plug in power cord and keyboard/mouse.
    2. PRAM reset [5]. Hold down option, command, P and R while booting. Start it when you hear the sound and don't let go before it reboots.
    3. Safe boot [6]. Hold down shift while booting to boot into safe mode. If this works, open Disk Utility from Utilities and repair your permissions and verify the disk
    4. Hardware test [7]. Insert the install disk (disk 1 in Mac which shipped with OS X 10.5.4 or earlier, disk 2 if shipped with OS X 10.5.5 or newer) and hold down "D" before the grey boot screen opens. Follow on screen instructions
    5. Boot from install disk. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac. Hold C while booting. Select Disk Utility from top bar and repair permissions and verify the disk. Reboot normally and see if it works now.
    6. Boot from another Mac (Firewire target disk mode). Connect the machines with a Firewire cable. Power on your Mac and press T. Select the other Mac's hard drive. Download the current OS X combo update. Run the combo update installer and select the drive that won't boot as the destination.
    7. "Repair" OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and reinstall OS X. This should NOT erase any data, just replaces the system files which may have caused your booting problem. Now install the latest combo update for OS X and repair permissions on your drive with Disk Utility.
    7.1. Install OS X into an external hard drive and then boot from it [8] and try to copy your data from the hard drive before proceeding. If you have done a backup recently, you don't have to do this.
    8. Restore OS X from Time Machine backup. Boot from the disk that came with your Mac and choose the Time Machine restore option. This step will lose any changes made since your last backup but the system and your data will be put back to exactly as it was on that date.
    8.1 Reinstall OS X. Boot from the install disk as in point 5. and select Disk Utility again. Now erase the whole hard drive and install OS X again. If you had a Time Machine backup and step 7 worked you don't have to do this.
