H8-1280t and GTX 780 Video Card installation issue.

I hope someone can give me good news with this issue as I am at the end of my rope.
I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 780 SC video card which I am attempting to install into my h8-1280t Elite HP Desktop.
I have switched out the stock Power Supply that originally came with the unit and installed one that can support the necessary power requirements of the card (750W with 61A on 12V rail [Corsair ATX 750).
This is actually the second card that I have tried and they both have the same issue. The issue is as follows: When the unit is powered on I can see the POST message which shows my processor, memory amount, and BIOS Revision date and version. The unit will then proceed to beep once every 10 seconds, there will be a total of 3 beeps and the unit proceeds to a black screen where nothing happens. I know the card is not bad as it displays the POST message just fine.
I have since contacted EVGA the manufacturer of the card and they have stated that this issue has something to do with UEFI BIOS. Their card has shipped with the most recently updated UEFI BIOS located in the GTX 780, I was referred to try and ask here if there is an update to my current motherboard to bring it upto date with the latest revision of UEFI. I have also since tried both BIOS updates on my model page the lastest having a revision date of 9-12-2012. I would hate to think that my unit is incompatible being that I only bought it last year. I have noticed that in my BIOS settings there is very limited UEFI boot options. so that gives me some hope.
The following is the information about my unit to the closes detail I have found:
Motherboard: IPIWB-PB (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03132964)
BIOS: 7.15 Rev. A (09-12-2012)
Processor: Intel i7 3820 3.6ghz
Desktop: h8-1280t (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5155...)
Power Supply: Corsair ATX 750w
Memory: Corsair 16gb Vengeance
Hard Drive and CD drive are stock.
I believe the issue lies with an outdated BIOS and hopefully HP is providing BIOS updates.
Once again any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Have you made sure that your P6 and P8 connectors are connected properly to the video card?
If you have, and your power supply is capable of running this card, then it is possibly not compatible with this motherboard. For the greatest chance of compatibility, since your motherboard has PCIe generation 2 slot you would want to look for a video card that uses PCIe generation 2.0. While 3.0 should be backwards compatible; it is not always the case.
Thank you.

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

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!

It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

Here's my 17"
In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

Elite 8300 CMT and video card installation

hi all,
I just got an 8300 Elite microtower and am facing trouble installing a video card (Matrox M9140 LP PCIe x16) to replace the PC's standard issued Nvidia NVS 300, which is working fine when inserted into the same PCIe x16 slot. However when replaced by our Matrox card the motherboard doesn't even detect the card and runs on integrated graphics.
I have tried to switch the video output to PCIe through the system BIOS but since the card is not detected that option is grayed out. And even though the system doesn't detect it I can still feel that the card is working as it heats up when the PC is on. I have tested the card on other machines and its working fine. Just not on this one.
Could this be because the memory type of the card is DDR2 while the system is DDR3? Or is there any other compatibility issue that might prevent the card from being detected on this mainboard?

I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage.

Adobe CS4 OpenGL issues with 10.6.2 and Intel GMA950 video card

I just upgraded to Adobe CS4 and in PS I cannot enable OpenGL. I'm running 10.6.2 on a Macbook with the Intel GMA950 video card.
I was wondering if 10.6.2 does not have the relevant drivers for CS4 to recognize this chipset or that since the video card is integrated (as opposed to a stand alone with the newer Macbooks) that Intel has not update the drivers? It ***** since I cannot use some functions inside PS without OpenGL.

Hello blue20 & welcome to discussions
1.) You can search these forums for the topic of:
Adobe CS4 GMA950
As an example, if you haven't already, in an effort to parse what's already been discussed.
2.) Have you looked at any of the Adobe forums:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2356530
3.) How many fonts are you working with?
The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
An additional measure is to clear the existing font caches:
http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html
That said, 10.6.2 release notes have this to say about fonts:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874
Fonts fixes provided for:
• an issue with font spacing
• an issue in which some Fonts are missing
• font duplication issues
• an issue with some PostScript Type 1 fonts not working properly
Good luck in any case.

Satellite L650-1M6 and problem with video card

Good evening!
I have new Satellite L650-1M6 with no OS. When i made a fresh Windows 7 32bit installation i got several device problems. Most of them i manage to resolve my self (like wlan drivers) but now i need your professional help.
At this moment i had left this Problem Devices (from System information):
Not Available ACPI\TOS6205\4&4A257CF&0 The drivers for this device are not installed.
I think it could be video card (need to be ATI HD5470) but SysInfo say:
Adapter Type Not Available, (Standard display types) compatible
Adapter Description Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
Would appreciate any help on this.
Thank you in advance.

Quote from: xmad on 16-May-12, 20:24:13
From New Egg:
Minimum of a 450 Watt power supply. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 24 Amps.)
Your new Power supply: dual rail 18a
Perhaps you need to find a single rail psu? There are 2 psu's available for the xps a 750 and a 1k watt both have 12 v single rail as best i can tell.
Here is EVGA's tech support: I would contact them and go over you psu specs to verify.
Well I am not too proud to admit when I am wrong...
The PSU was the issue (as is the common issue with just about everyone that comes to this forum)
I purchased a Coolermaster 500W Single Rail PSU and it worked perfectly as soon as I plugged it in.
The Juice box I was using above was a 350W single rail but just wasn't enough even if it was dedicated solely to the Video Card.
Thanks all for your help - I truly appreciate the time you took to point me in the right direction.
Pro-Tip to the new guys looking at this - Single Rail vs Dual Rail makes a HUGE Difference. Check your power ratings with the MFG of your Video card.

GTX 650 Video Card Incompatible with h8-1420t?

I took delivery of an Envy h8-1420t a few weeks ago. It came with a Radeon HD 7670 graphics card. I would like to add a bit more horsepower in the graphics processing department, andI upgraded to a 575w Thermaltake Toughpower XT power supply accordingly. My new video card is an MSI GTX 650 (http://us.msi.com/product/vga/N650-MD1GD5-OC.html), and on paper is compatible with both the power supply and HP Formosa motherboard.
Unfortunately, the card refuses to output video when I install it. I have verified that the card is working. Any ideas as to what the issue could be? I'm guessing it's some sort of motherboard incompatibility, but am wondering if anyone else has had similiar issues. The GTX 660 is optional equipment when ordering this rig, and if that works I don't see why this wouldn't.

Is this the monitor?
I take it both ends of the cable look like this.
I apologize ahead of time for asking this, but I want to verify the basics.
Was the 4-pin power connector on the motherboard connected to the power supply? It is located above the PCIe slot and next to the processor slot. This is to power the processor, so no video would be available if this was not connected.
Honestly, the symptoms aren't lining up. I know the PC is not at fault as there are no restrictions in place.
Both DVI ports (monitor and new video card) appear to be DVI-D, so analog/digital is not very likely.
I take it the cable is known to be good as it worked with the stock video card.
Are there any beep codes? You probably would have mentioned this had you heard any, but I want to be certain.

Mac Pro Locked Up and Now One Video Card and Audio Not Working

Last night, my Mac Pro totally locked up to the point I had to power it off to get it to do anything. When restarted, one of my video cards and my audio are no longer working. I have dual monitors so tried switching the connections to see if it was the monitor and that was not the problem.
I tried doing a formal shutdown after the restart and this also did not clear up my problem.
Everything was working fine prior to the lockup. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I cannot open any photo in Photoshop CC 2014 after upgrade the application and drivers of video-card.

Since I have made an upgrade of Photoshop CC 2014 I got a lot of problems.
At first, I could not open any pictures in Photoshop. It works only if I disable "Use Graphic processor". I installed a new driver for my video-card, but it did not help. I use AMD FirePro V4800 for 10-bit colour.
I had to return the system to the restore point (before the upgrade), then it worked somehow, but not stable. ACR from time to time had a blue screen with a white cross.
Now I tried to install drivers for my video-card again, but it resulted in the same issue: Photoshop cannot open any photo. (Other converters and editors and also a new Lightroom work well).
I use Win7x64, i7 2600, 16 Gb RAM, two SSD's, AMD FirePro V4800. I have never had any problems before the upgrade. And I do not want to reinstall Photoshop because I would have to reinstall a lot of plug-ins, I have already lost a whole day.

Glad it's not just me!
Interestingly, when I spoke with Apple, I tried it in a new user account and the problem went away. Apple said to speak to Adobe which I have done and after deleting settings/prefs again the problem remained. Adobe say as it's fine in a new account then it's an Apple issue not Adobe.
I did find a workaround for now though, when using file - open, set it to list view instead of column view - this fixed my problem but sadly I'm used to working in column view so it's not ideal!
I also got the same error message when trying to replace a set of brushes yesterday too. I need to go back to Apple now but just need to schedule some time to sit and troubleshoot!
