EVGA Geforce GTX 960 Graphics Card won't boot on my Lenovo Ideacentre K410

PC: Lenovo Ideacentre K410
I bought it in 2012
New Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 960
New Power Supply: Corsair CX 430
Issue:
I plugged in my graphics card to my new power supply.
I get the Lenovo splash screen, then 3 beeps, then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left.
If I disconnect the graphics card, and just use the VGA connection, everything works fine.
How do I get my new graphics card to work on this PC?

hi mwvg79,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
If you boot in to BIOS with F1 while powering ON the computerCheck if you system supports UEFI.
UEFI/ BIOS should have a Uefi option under Boot tab or start up tab Try to set those to Legacy
If non then this is a legacy BIOS already.
also im thinking about Compatibility issues with this card, since this is not listed under the Maintenance Manual as replacement Parts.

Installed Geforce GTX 650 graphics card, but monitors won't turn on

I have installed a geforce gtx 650 graphics card in my hp pavilion and a corsair hx750 power supply, but after installing it and trying to get it to work the monitor won't detect any signal from the dvi plugs. I've tried looking up the problem before, and I think it is because the hp pavilion is an AMD, so it is locking out any new hardware in the computer, but after uninstalling everything and putting the original power supply back in, the monitors still won't get signal. I don't know if I might have broke something while trying to hook up the power supply or graphics card, but i figured someone else could figure out the problem.

P6-2133W not recognizing EVGA GeForce GTX 750ti video card

Hello,
I currently have a stock HP P6-2133W desktop, and I wanted to update the graphics. I purchased an EVGA GeForce GTX 750ti video card ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487025 ), but I could never get video to display through the card.
I disabled the onboard video through Windows Device Manager,but I couldn't find any setting in BIOS to explicitly use PCIE instead of the integrated video, and EVGA's driver installation utility reports that it could not detect a compatible device. The fan on the card spins, so it seems to be properly installed, and I tried re-seating it into the PCIE slot several times over the course of my troubleshooting.
Through all of my digging around online, I found a few mentions of UEFI BIOS. Unfortunately, I'm at work, so my computer is not handy at the moment, but I do remember that my motherboard was AAHD3-HB, and I had v. 7.16 of its BIOS (AMI, I think?), and the HP utilities did not indicate that there were any sort of updates available.
I'm not very familiar with UEFI, so, I guess my main questions are: is my BIOS incompatible with this particular video card? If so, is there a way to install a UEFI BIOS on my motherboard that would support this card?
I liked the idea of the 750TI, because it seemed to offer pretty decent performance without requiring a new Power Supply, so if this card is simply incompatible with my computer, then do you know of a comparable card that would work for my computer?
I appreciate any and all help with this.

Hello @BCAstronaut,
I understand that you are having issues getting your HP Pavilion p6-2133w Desktop PC to recognise your new EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card. I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is the the break in the downward compatibility on the PCIe slots was broken at around the Gen 2.1 mark and you are trying to put a Gen 3.0 card in a Gen 1.0 slot. This in essence makes your computer incompatible with the graphics card you have chosen to use. I am providing you an article on the overclock.net website titled The final answer to the controversial PCIe x16 version compatibility., where the author explains what I described and goes into how he made the determination. I would advise you review the article if you have any questions concerning the issue you are facing.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Lighting effects filter not available on PScc - using windows 8.1 with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card

I have Photoshop cc and Lightroom 5.5. My computer runs windows 8.1, 64 bit, with GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.
I am trying to use the lighting effects filter, but it is grayed out so I cannot select it.
Can you tell me what I need to change in order to use the lighting effects filter?

This is the Lightroom forum. I don't use the lighting effects very often in Photoshop. But if I recall correctly, it will only work on 8-bit images.

MSI P45 Neo-F, GeForce GTX 260 graphic card upgrade (Install resolved)

Greetings,
We recently built up starting from an MSI P45-F motherboard and running an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor on XP (we did not choose XP-64 waiting on Windows 7).
We are attempting to upgrade the graphic card to the PCI express with a GeForce GTX 260 and are encountering a driver download error from Nvidia.
Problem/Issue: While driver software is downloading, mid-way the screen goes black/blank and a single underscore cursor appears (remains indefinitely).
We believed it could be a power supply issue as we are running an OCZ tech 600W stealth stream (we are certain there is sufficient amp), but clearly we must disable or uninstall the on-board graphic card (which may be causing a drain?). We are looking under the Device Manager and unable to identify which is the actual on-board graphics in order to disable.
I have attempted to contact MSI directly; however there is a communication problem on my part since I have no idea what I'm doing ($40 bucks to have the card professionally installed is looking like a bargain right now, but think of the fun I will have with the Crysis expansion set on ULTRA).
One side bar question, not important: I'm running 4 GHz RAM, but only 3.205 is appearing? what is the missing RAM being allocated to at idle (is that to the graphics?)?
Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Jay

Greetings,
Well - initially the lock up would occur when we started running the Nvidia driver download software. After booting and performing a system restore (the normal OS load locked up, so we had no choice but to back date). We then downloaded the driver from Nvidia on to a disk from another computer and started up the upgrading computer in safemode and inserted the disk, same error occurred - halfway through the install download the screen goes blank and stays with under score cursor 20+mins.
We called Nvida and they claimed there may be may be driver conflict, so we removed all the drivers (with a driver sweep software-we wiped out allllll of the drivers, no problem) and loaded all drivers fresh and brand new.
Still same error occurred; We attempted to load the nvidia driver from the website -
Carefully confirming that
1.) we have sufficient amps (we calculated 46amps) to cover our build up.
*EDIT: IT WAS ACTUALLY 18amps (ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CALCULATIONS)
2.) we also confirmed the motherboard has the correct slot and we correctly connected the correct (2) power cords.
EDIT: THERE IS NO PRIORITY TO CONNECTION, SO JUST BE AWARE THERE ARE TWO PLUGS AND BOTH FIRMLY INSERTED.
We've called Nvidia and on the 5th time , we were specifically told that it did not appear that the motherboard and graphic driver are compatible.[/flash] How could that be ??? did they give up???
EDIT: THEY WERE INCORRECT, THEY DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY.
gfffffff* We are just about giving up and preparing to package up the new card and taking the restock charge...
EDIT: NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Z77A-GD65 issues with Geforce GTX 780 Video Card

Hey Guys,
I have a issue with a new PC build.
I think it may be a driver or BIOS setting issue, I hope
I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard and below are the specs:
- Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
- BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8
- Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 24 GB memory installed)
- Kentek 875w power supply
- Geforce GTX 780 Graphics Card
My problem is with the Geforce GTX 780 video card, I installed a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit and
everything runs and works fine,but when i install the Geforce GTX 780 video card and install the
drivers its all good up to this point but when i restart the computer i get this message in the device
manager ""Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)"
I have installed different versions of the driver, a few older and few newer versions with the same
outcome.
I tried to flash the BIOS to the latest version 10.11 but had problems with it picking up my harddrive
after it flashed successfully. I even checked the boot up setting and it all looked good just would not
boot up, so i had to revert back to the v10.8 BIOS version for it to work.
I'm not sure if there is a setting in the BIOS that i need to turn on or off. I'm not familar with this BIOS,
is there a place in it so i can see if the BIOS is picking up the video card, it has to or Windows would
not see it right?
I'm stumped here, do you guys know of a Geforce driver version that works well with this video card?
I truely think the card is fine because when i install the card to the motherboard i dont get any weird
issues until the driver is installed and Windows is restarted.
I would greatly appreciate any help and advise that you guys can give me.
Thanks alot

UPDATE
Well i wanted to post an update on my new build issue.
Here are my specs:
I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard with BIOS v10.8
- Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
- BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8 (i had a issue with the newest BIOS flash v10.11 it wouldn't detect the harddrive, could figure that one out so i went back to v10.8)
- Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 32 GB memory installed) I first had 3 sticks so i got another 8GB stick to fill all 4 banks for total of 32 GB
- Corsair Professional Series 860 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX860i (Bought this PS to replace the Kentek PS)
- N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING) (traded Geforce GTX 780 card for the MSI version of the GTX 780 card)
OK... I got the new Corsair 860w power supply installed and i installed the new MSI GTX 780 video card with the specs above everything installed fine no problems and my son was playing the Bio Shock Infinite game on Steam and about 1 hour into the game he got a blue screen of death, says something like "to prevent damage windows is now resetting" and it turns off so fast can't read the rest of the message.
I'm going to here in a little bit and update all device drivers with MSI Live update utility and also update the motherboard BIOS again to v10.11.
I'm really confused here, I'm also going to take out some memory and try to run it with sticks only in slot 2 & 4 to see if it runs more stable like that, also should i update the video card to the latest driver, i know the latest is not always the greatest driver.
I want to think you guys again for your help & time with this issue. I really dont know what else to do here, everything is new in this PC.
Thanks

New graphic card EVGA Geforce gtx 750 ti failing on HP pavilion H8-1114

Hello
I just bought new EVGA Geforce GTX 750 ti SuperClocked for my HP pavilion H8-1114 and when I replaced the old GPU wich is GT 520 with the new one, but it dosn't work and the screen freez with the blue HP screen and beeps sound many times.
I have found the same problem and it's solved here:

The exact same problem that I have but my HP desktop is a one year newer than his, so the question is if I do the same thing that sugested to him will be solved? if not would you mind please solve the problem for me. Because I believe there is no issue with my PC hardware and it should work fine.
Best regards & thank you

Hi Ken,
Look aon the top back of the graphics card for a switch. See the below image.
You should have received a pamphlet in the box describing the use of the switch (legacy mode or UEFI mode). If your PC has a version 8 HP BIOS then disable secure boot if set. If your PC is not at a version 8 BIOS level then the switch should be in legacy position. The pamphlet should describe the use of the switch.

Can I put a EVGA GeForce GTX 650 2GB in my HP Pavillion Elite 380t

I currently have ATI Radeon HD 5450 video card that came with my HP Pavillion Elite 380t when I bought it a few years ago. I am now using new Adobe Cloud 2014 products including Premiere Pro, After Effects , Audition. I have been getting messages saying the GPU requires approved NVIDIA graphics card and CUDA 5.0 or later, Mercury Playback Engine, etc. A friend suggested getting a EVGA GeForce GTX 650 2GB. I am trying to figure out if that is a good option and if I can put it into my current computer.

Hi,
I have seen some posts out here where using the NVIDIA 650 was problematic.
I have the same motherboard in my HP e9280t and I was was successful with using the NVIDIA 460 and the 660. The 460 watt power supply in your PC should be enough for the NVIDIA GTX 660.

Can't get GeForce GTX 560 Ti card CUDA to work with new Premiere Pro CC 2014 version

In the past I've been able to get CUDA on my GeForce GTX 560 Ti card to work with Mercury Playback engine by adding "GeForce GTX 560 Ti" to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file. But with the new CC 2014 version of Premiere, that file isn't in the Premiere Pro directory anymore. Is there a way to get my GTX 560 Ti to be listed as a CUDA-supported card with CC 2014?

Okay, I figured it out. I installed the latest graphics driver and then opened the NVIDIA control panel. In there I selected "Manage 3D settings" and went to the "program settings" tab. I selected Adobe Premiere (adobe premiere pro.exe) from the list and under the "CUDA - GPUs" feature, I changed it to "Use these GPUs" and selected my GTX 560 Ti (which was the only one listed).
After doing that, I opened Premiere Pro CC 2014 and selected "Project Settings - General" and was then able to choose "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" under Renderer (which had previously been unavailable).
Hopefully this will help someone else if they encounter the same problem.

New IMac GeForce 8800 GS Graphics card questions

I am considering buying a new IMac 3.06 Intel Processor with 500 GB HD, 2GB RAM, Geforce 8800 GS Graphics Card and 24 inch display.
Will this computer be able to run Windows Vista Aero Glass with all features turned on via Bootcamp software included with Jaguar?
Also does anyone have any information on this GeForce 8800 GS card? I've tried googling it and keep getting sporadic results of Geforce GTS and Geforce GTX cards but nothing about this GS card!
I want to run Vistas AeroGlass and the games I'm interested in playing are WOW, Oblivion, Battlefield 2142 & COD 4.
Can the new IMacs with this GeForce 8800 GS handle all this?

I have the AL iMac 2.4GHz w/ 1GB RAM and the Radeon 2600 w/ 256. Running XP in BootCamp I can run COD4 @ Max and is very playable (not necessarily full throttle) w/ plenty of action on screen. Also the PREY demo works just about as good. If I go to 1600x1200 it will run flawlessly.
WoW will play great on Leopard (though I've had a few freezes in game:::not sure if this is Mac update related or patching for WoW itself). You can also max WoW out and it runs smoother than COD4 (WoW is older) but for the beauty of the game and smoothness tune it a bit and you are cool. And yes AAx8:)
Can't wait until I go to the Corsair 4GB kit w/ 4-4-12 cycle:):):P

Will the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SC work on my h8-1360t with Formosa motherboard?

perhaps a silly question but will the EVGA GeForce GTX 76 SC work on a FORMOSA motherboard?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sticknrudder, welcome to the forum.
Not a silly question at all. It is difficult to know which video cards work in which computers these days. I had to do a lot of research, including phone calls to EVGA and XFX'es Tech Support.
In this instance, the video card will not work in your computer. All of the EVGA video cards from the GT 640 to present require a full UEFI BIOS in the motherboard. HP didn't begin using a full UEFI BIOS until mid-October, 2012. Your computer was released in July, 2011.
Also, most of the newer cards will require a power supply unit (PSU) upgrade. Unless, that is, you chose the 460W or 600W PSU when you bought the computer. Even the 460W may not have enough wattage for some of the cards.
MSI makes a video card with a hybrid VBIOS that has a switch to choose a Legacy or UEFI BIOS. There is a video in the link that I provided just below the picture of the card. Paul from Newegg does a good job of explining the card. I suggest contacting their Tech Support to assure that it will work in your computer. It is 9.84" in length. I suggest making a template the size of the card to assure that it will fit into the space provided if they say that it will work.
