H9-1130 Won't boot after new graphics card install.

Alright, here we go.
I recently bought an EVGA 750 superclocked for my PC. The first time I installed it, I got a black screen. Popped in the old GPU and checked the BIOS. Ended up updating it.
Now, here's the interesting part: I install the EVGA back into my computer, and it ends up getting stuck at the HP boot logo. I went to another thread on this site regarding pretty much the same question, and the people there recommended checking the PSU and the graphics card. Well, I brought my GPU to a friend to plug into his computer, and it booted up just fine. I did check my PSU aswell, and all seems to be fine there. So, yeah, any suggestions on how I can get this card to work on my mobo?
SPECS:
AMD FX-8120
(old) GPU: AMD 7670
(new) GPU: EVGA 750 1gb Superclocked
PSU: HP 650w
mobo: Gigabyte 2AC8

Hi,
I have no suggestions on how to get the EVGA GTX 750 to work in a HP PC that has a legacy version 7 bios (non-UEFI).
I do have one suggestion: Contact EVGA and ask for a remendy other than replacing the motherboard or buying a new PC. Don't expect HP to provide a version 8 UEFI BIOS update for your PC. HP didn't start producing UEFI BIOS consumer desktop PCs until the middle of October 2012.
You might try Sapphire as they offer both NVIDIA and AMD graphics that are designated UEFI and those that are not designated UEFI. You need a card that is non-UEFI designated.

Won't boot with new graphics card

Hi. I have a Pavilion P7-1058uk with a Cleveland-GL8 motherboard and onboard graphics.
I bought a new monitor which has 2560x1440 resolution, greather than the onboard graphics can cope with, so have tried to upgrade with a Gigabyte GT630 card.
When I startup, I now get to the blue HP screen but no further. If I startup with F10 or ESC pressed, I get to a black screen instead. Either way, I am invited to press Esc to enter startup but pressing the key has no impact and the computer just hangs. There is a repeated cycle of very quiet clicks which sounds like the HDD drive trying to start then stopping
If I remove the graphics card and connect the monitor back to the onboard graphics then all is well again (but restricted to 1920x1080 resolution).
Perhaps stupidly I assumed it was an issue with the power supply (300W) and not enough residual oomph to run the HDD. But having upgraded that to 650W it makes no difference. I also tried downloading NVidia drivers but it won't let me install them because I can only get the computer to work without the graphics card, and Nvidia won't install because it can't detect the hardware.
Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.

OK thanks. This card doesnt require a six pin connector but it is interesting that your comment implies that those that do still take power from the motherboard but topped up with the six pin connector. As opposed to taking all power from the six pin connector and nothing from the motherboard. I am not making a statement that equates to your analogy. All cards plugged into a motherboard I/O internal slot are powered by the motherboards power distribution subsystem.
One last question - should I have uninstalled the graphics driver for the integrated graphics or is that unnecessary? I have read that the motherboard turns the integrated graphics off when it detects a dedicated card. I have not done so and am a little wary of uninstalling the existing driver in case things still dont work and it gets tricky to revert back to where I am now.
Andrew
No. You won't need to uninstall the driver for the integrated graphics. The OS will only load the driver for the graphics card when one is installed.

IMAC 2007 has broken crackly sound after new graphics card

My 2007 iMac recently had a black screen and has had a new graphics card installed by a local company. I've picked it up today but when I got the IMAC home the sound only seems to come out of the right speaker and is very broken and low, hardly audible, also the chime at start up was like this.
Does anyone know why this could have happened and is there anything I can do without having to take it back in?

Well one piece of advice I can offer is to always take a Mac (any Mac) to an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or an Apple Store. If you took it somewhere that is not an AASP you never know the level of service you are getting. I would be willing to guess there is an AASP in your general area.

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.

Bios freezes on Hp IPISB-CH2 with new graphic card installed

I own HP Pavilion Elite HPE H8 1010cs. Motherboard is HP IPISB-CH2. I bought new graphic card GAINWARD Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB together with 600W PSU Corsair CX600M. First I tried my new PSU with my old GPU nvidia 550Ti. It worked perfectly. But when I replaced old card with new GTX 970, bios freezes on the first power on window. Escape does not work. Should I return new graphic card, or is there still some hope in this?
This question was solved.

Hello @Tomas83,
I understand that you are having issues getting your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1010cs Desktop PC towork with your Gainward GeForce® GTX 970 Phantom 4GB 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!

G5 PPC Won't boot After New Drives, Battery & RAM Installed

Since installing new boot drive, new battery, and additional matched RAM, when I start up I'm expecting DVD drawer to open automatically for installation of MAC OS, but all I get is a screen icon of a Mac folder, without a question mark. Tried starting up again and this time got black screen. I popped DVD drawer open and inserted MAC OS Leopard disc then restarted once while holding down C key. Nothing, but after a few minutes fans went into overdrive. Restarted again without holding C key, got black screen. I really can't hear the install disc spinning either.
I've replaced boot drive a long time ago and didn't have this problem. Wondering if RAM or new battery caused anything to go wrong. I had a grounding strap on during all my internal work on the mac.
Thanks for any suggestions
Steve

Thanks for the reply.
Don't see logic in booting without either optical or HD as I can't go forward without both online. Hard drive is unformatted. But one thing: I had pulled the jumper to make it SATA 3 for better performance. Maybe replace jumper?
Battery polarity is correct, positive to the left. I even reinserted the old battery to see if that made a difference.
Are you suggesting reseating all the RAM or just the new RAM? I'll try removing the new RAM.
Tried resetting PRAM but system never chimed a second time, system didn't recognize the command for it.
Won't boot up in OF mode.
Sometimes boots to black screen, other times to white screen. Sometimes the folder icon, sometimes not.
In every case system will go into fan overdrive after about 4 minutes.

Drivers Missing After New Graphics Card ?

Recently the graphics card on our Power Mac G4 "MDD" stopped working. For a while, there was an increased fan noise, then just a few days ago, when the computer was turned on, the fan was very loud & the screen was jittery & pixelated before providing an error message & turning off.
We ended up buying a new (refurbished) graphics card -- the same model as was in the computer to begin with: NVidia GeForce4 Titanium TI4600 128MB DVI/ADC.
Today we installed the new card & everything worked great without any errors, screen issues, etc.
However, now we have issues using both our external HD & the iSight (external Firewire camera). First, the Power Mac was not even detecting the External HD (a Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II - 2TB). We then plugged the external HD into our MacBook Pro & it worked as it did before.
Upon further investigation, it seemed that maybe the drivers & managing programs for the WD external HD were missing from the Power Mac. We downloaded & installed those (including an updated firmware) from the Western Digital site. Now the External HD isn't even turning on.. but that's a separate issue that we believe we need to speak with WD about.
Our iSight camera, however, is also not responding & we can't seem to get it to work. We tried to find the drivers for the camera, but have (so far) only been able to find an update for OS X 10.5+
*SO our question is....* are drivers installed/stored on the graphics card?? Why would these things be missing after only switching out the graphics card?
Any help/advice/info would be much appreciated as we are about to pull our hair out!

Hi everyone!
Thanks so much for the help! It didn't make sense to us as that any drivers would be on the graphics card so the suggestions here make a lot more sense.
Before we boot to the OS X install disc and run Disk utility or Disk Warrior, etc.. is there any thing we need to know regarding files on the computer? Is there anything we should or shouldn't do so that we don't need to worry about any possible files being deleted from this procedure?
*A bit more info:* (If this helps) upon further investigation & reading online, we found that somehow the BaseSystem.pkg file was missing. We had all the symptoms mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2023
And we also tried to follow the recommendations regarding getting the computer to recognize the *iSight external camera* found here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10084429 However, we had no luck. Everything we go through those steps, a window pops up saying no camera is detected even though it is plugged into the Firewire port. We're hoping that following japanmac's suggestions will correct this as well...?

IMac taking long time to boot after new hard drive installed. Help?

I recently had a new hard drive installed on my iMac (running Snow Leopard). After the intall all was well, but I couldn't get my screensaver to work. Erroneously thinking it was missing, I reinstalled it and ended up with two screen saver folders in the system files. Now when I turn on the Mac, I get a white screen for several seconds (close to a minute) before the system shows me the Apple logo and then boots. I'm concerned about this. Did my copying the screen saver cause the problem? Should I reinstall my system software? I was planning to upgrade to Mountain Lion anyway. Will that fix the problem? Any suggestions appreciated.

Restart in Safe Boot Mode (hold the left Shift key as soon as you restart your computer and hold it until the Apple logo appears). Once it gets to the desktop you can restart normally. Safe Mode serves a number of purposes and one of them is to delete/trim temporary files that might be causing boot problems. There's no guarantee this will improve your startup time but it will do no harm and I have seen computers restart more quickly after a Safe Boot.

MacBook Pro will not boot after switching graphics cards

Dear All,
I have a late-2008 unibody MacBook Pro. I have had it since April 2009, and I have not encountered any real problems with it.
Yesterday, I switched to the 9600 graphics card for the first time since purchasing the machine. It logged me out as expected, but then proceeded to flash a blank blue screen at me for 20 minutes. Assuming that this was not normal, I powered down the computer by holding the power button. I powered it on again, and it will not get past the Apple symbol screen with the loading whirligig. I left it on for seven hours (overnight), and no change.
I booted it from the install disc and ran the Disk Utility verify and repair. It either gives me no problem or a block count error, which goes away when I run repair. I tried running verify on permissions, but this gives me a "failed to exit" or some such error, same with repair permissions. Restarting gives me the same apple logo screen until forever.
I've tried resetting PRAM, doing the battery removal and holding power button for 5 seconds, I've tried booting in safe mode (it won't), and doing an archive and install (which it can't do either, as it can't access my HDD or something). I've run the disk utility verify and repair several times.
I unfortunately don't have a recent backup (slapping myself), so I'm open to suggestions before going into despair over my $2600 paperweight before doing an erase and install...
Thanks in advance!
PS: is there a way to open the computer in target disk mode via the install cd so that I CAN back it up?
Message was edited by: Kaklz

Thanks, Joe. That may be an option if all else fails. I don't currently own an enclosure, so I am looking for an alternative before spending any money (I know, "frugal Apple user" is unheard of, but...).
I do have an old G3 tower, which I am using in the meantime, so if I can use this to open my MBP in target disk mode (or some other way of making a backup), I'd be overjoyed!

New Graphics card install just beeps, stuck at boot screen

I purchased a NVidia GEFORCE GT730 that I installed in the spare graphics card slot. But when I boot up it just beeps at me. The monitor displays the HP screen but will not respond to keyboard input. I've been into the BIOS and Legacy is enabled but there is no option to disable "Secure Boot". Do I need to get my money back is this graphics card not compatible? I did notice this card recommends a 300w power supply and this PC has a 250w but I didn't think a 50w difference would'nt allow the card to be recognized by the PC.
Thank you.

Your power supply is pretty weak for that card.
Here's one that would do the trick and it's not expensive. Just something for you to consider.

PowerMac won't boot after power failure during install

Hi, sorry if this has been asked. I searched, but I'm not quite sure how to phrase it.
I bought a used PowerMac from craigslist and went to install a newer version of OSX. I had a power failure in the middle of the install and now the computer won't boot up. How do I go back to a fresh re-install and get the computer to boot up?
Much appreciated!

Did you use a retail install DVD? If you used a gray disc from another model Mac, that could be a problem.
Because of the power failure, suggest you reset the PMU. How long was the power Off? You may need to replace the PRAM battery.

Powermac G5 won't boot after new PSU replaced- says no ram installed!!!

I've recently inherited a friends old Powermac DP 2.0 G5 after it died a death. After some testing I diagnosed that that PSU had died in it- something that seems quite common.
Having found some detailed instructions online, I sourced a replacement PSU and set about replacing it. All went well with no major problems. I put everything back together and then powered the machine on. The fans whirled to life but there was no video out. I then noticed that the power light was flashing twice and then a break.
I checked on Apple's website and it was saying that 2 flashed is no ram installed. Yet there are 4 sticks installed - surely these all can't be dead? Has anyone got any words of advice? I'll be gutted if it's the logic board as the replacement PSU was really expensive....help!

Could be the RAM, sockets, Logic board, only way to tell is to swap them out.
Have you done a PRAM reset...

Imac won't boot with new hard drive installed

So I installed a new 1Tb caviar black in my PPC G5 Imac, but when I turn the computer on, I get no video, no startup chime, nothing. The power light does come on, and fans start running after a minute or so, but thats it. I can't boot from the install disc.
The computer boots up as expected when I remove the drive(startup chime, grey screen, missing folder icon).
Any suggestions to what the problem is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wierd i have similar problem. I removed HDD after crash to backup in an enclosure before reinstalling os again, put the hdd back and connected the hdd sensor backup (although i thought it was a knock sensor..doh!) . Mac wouldnt start, no screen, no chime, nada, but sleep light stays on. With PCs this usually mean CPU fault so i removed RAM to see if could get a BEEP meaning CPU is ok as it spots ram. No beep. So after checking everything i stripped out ram, hdd, airport and battery and reset PMU, tried again and now i get beep!! so cpu works. slowly adding everything back in and trying power up, last thing to go in was hdd sensor and sure enough when this is connected i reproduce the symptoms. So i disconnected the sensor and tried and i get chimes etc... Ive inspected the cable and made sure is connected right way up and still cant get to work. So it seems sensor is goosed! Debating wether to replace just yet

Failure to boot after new hard drive install

trying to resurrect old graphite 466mh firewire clamshell.
It was running tiger fine, had a problem charging it so sat in basement for a year. Turns out it was powercord,replaced, and now working again. Decided to replace the 10G hard drive, using the fixit site manual. Installed a Toshiba 80G drive, am now unable to boot from tiger cd's (not dvd) while holding down c-key. Any suggestions? By the way, have access to other firewire iBook running tiger but don't know how to boot from that. Any help much appreciated!

The reason for not being able to start
via 'C' on you new drive may be because it is
assigned (jumpered) incorrectly as the 'Slave' rather
than the 'Master'.
Of course! it seems so obvious now
you've said it.
Actually it's almost
certainly best that this gets done sooner rather than
later or it is complicate any future trouble
shooting
kind regards
mrtotes
OK gentlemen (thanks for responding). So I hook up the 2 iBooks, put the tiger cd in my wife's iBook and start them up. On the screen of the ibook I'm trying to resurrect my wife's desktop appears. I go into disk utility, it scans the systems and the only icons that appear are my wife's hard drive and the new (untitled) hard drive. No sign of the tiger installation cd. I can restore my wife's hard disk onto the untitled drive and end up with a working system. I know little about slaves and masters (I don't get out much)- how do I assign the new drive?
thanks again,
marc

Black screen on boot afer new graphics card.

I upgraded from a GT 8800 to two GTX 660 connected through SLI. It boots perfectly fine but once it gets to the SLiM login screen all I see is black. I tried plugging my monitor into different ports thinking that it was configured to output to the wrong display but still nothing. ctrl + alt + f1 does not bring up the terminal either. How can I fix this?

Have you had a look at this? I've never used SLI so I don't really know anything..
Yeah, I just tried that after chrooting from a flash drive but it still does not work. I looked at my journal entries but all I see is some spam about AMD-Vi from a few days ago, however, I believe this is just from virtual box.
