MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti won't install on HP Pavillion

hello. i tried to install my MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti into my HP Pavilion p7-1045.
the computer just freezes at the blue HP screen and starts beeping 5 times, and shuts off. power was not an issue either, since i sucessfully replaced my 250w power supply with a 600w. the power supply i upgraded my PC with was a RAIDMAX Cobra 600w Power Supply.
i tried to update my BIOS, but it didn't work. i tried using the hybrid bios switch, but that didn't work either.
any help would be appreciated

The bios of that old HP machine just includes an ME7 firmware but using a GTX7xx or later requires an ME8 firmware including bios. As you are not the first with such machine here it's a pretty sure thing that there is no update available. Still you can contact HP about it. Most likely though you can't use the card with that machine. It is not a matter of UEFI/GOP or legacy vbios.
i see... well, i have already contacted HP and they said there is nothing that can be done about it. i guess i will have to return the GPU....
looks like i should get a graphics card compatible with ME7 firmware. do you have any suggestions?

Upgrading my HP Pavilion h8-1170uk with a GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Hi there,
I have reached whits end here, I am looking to upgrade my GeForce GT 545 with a GeForce GTX 750 ti on my HP Pavilion h8-1170uk. I have emailed your support asking for advice and have been told to phone your number although I have explained twice I am deaf.
I asked extremely helpful customer services at NVIDIA who told me my computer would definitely be able to handle the GeForce GTX 750 ti and I even asked on amazon before buying as I really was not sure.
After getting yes all around (apart from HP who just won't get back to me) I bought the card attempted to install it only to find that it needs a double slot at the back of the pc. I had looked at my PC and had thought it had at least four slots (Photos uploaded) as it had 4 areas it seems at the back, one with the original graphics card in and 3 more with metal covers.
After uninstalling the old drivers and attempting to put the graphics card in I found that only two of the four slots seemed to open and those two were not even next to each other, which means that I can not fit the GTX 750 ti inside my computer
even looking at my photos it looks like they should open but they seem to be attached to the rest of the frame. I realised this when the 3rd slot up come out as I expected the other two to come out but honestly they are just welded in! The shinier metal strips that you see over them do come off but to no avail.
I have to admit I am at the end of my teather and really fearing I have made a huge mistake in buying the wrong card. The slots that do not seem to open have what appears to be a screw driver symbol on the back of them which I must of assumed meant you could get them off with a screw driver. I now guess the screw drive symbol means you can not get them off with a screwdriver? whcih just does not seem right at all.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!
Regards

Hi,
Your first issue is that most NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards will not work in your PC. MSI does have a couple of models of the GTX 750 graphics card that may work.
Most if not all graphics cards that I have worked with are designed to fit around the the back slot separator I/O vertical strip. Review this posted article for the view of a double wide graphics card. The slotted plate in the middle is easily removed by inserting a flat bladed screwed and wiggling it back and worth until the removable plate becomes loose enough where you can use a pliers to finish the remove process. The shield is designed to "break off".

MSI GeForce GTX 970 with MSI Z68A-GD55 (G3) motherboard

Hi!
I have seen a similar issue here that was resolved with the help of this forum. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251322.0). I still want to ask my questons however, since I have a slightly different situation.
I recently bought a new Graphics card, a MSI GTX 970, to replace my older EVGA GTX 570. After installing it, the time it takes to startup the computer is quite a bit longer. The very begninning of the startup process is the part that takes longer, I see a black screen and "B2" in the lower right hand corner, with the older GPU this was seen for a few seconds but now it stays that way for about a minute. After that I see some random colors in stead of the MSI logo and then the regular "Starting Windows" image appears, from there the startup is as fast as before.
When the computer has started it seems to work perfectly, and the new graphics card is great, everything on "ultra" in games etc.
I guess the way to resolve this issue is to update BIOS. I am a bit afraid of this however, of the risk of destroying something.
What would be your suggestions? Is it better to update bios or to leave it as it is, since the computer works? Are the any risks with keeping this bios version, that seems to have some issue with the graphics card?
Any help would be greately appreciated!

Ok, thanks for the advice.
I have started looking at the instructions and have downloaded the installer and the bios file. It seems Norton Internet Security has some problem with the installer. When I start the installer it reaches the point when it shows the current bios version, after that it is interupted by Norton. The reason that Norton gives is that it has found something called "Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" in the file b4.bks. How should I react to this?

H97 Gaming 3 MS-7918 vs. Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 TI

Hellou Hellou
Firstly my Speccs_
Motherboard:

Graphic Card
Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 TI
msi.com/product/vga/N750Ti-TF-2GD5OC.html#hero-specification
Is this two Supported i mean is that Motherboard Supported to my Graphic Card.
I mean that PCI 16X 3.0 Express thing.
Because i have impossible to get those to work? The game Crashes when i am playing and it's very laggish and pixels are messed.
Motherboard is NEW and Graphic Card is 1-2 months old.
I have tryet everything. New drivers to old drivers.
So is the Graphic card broken or is it that Motherboard is not supporting that Graphic Card?
Thank you very muh from Finland

Oookkey good to know this that it's supported.
Then i think that Graphic card is broken. Have to send it back to the shop where i bought it and get new one.
Problem was that the Graphic card is not working. It's crashing when playing games or starting to play games.
Some times there comes message " nvidia kernel mode driver stopped responding "
Comes black screen, but i can go to desktop ctrl alt delete to shut down the game.
Right now i use older Graphic card "Geforce GTX 460" and it's working very good with the mother board.
Or it's possible, that i have do something to the graphic card to get it to work. Overclocking or something, because the Default settings aren't working.. because right know it's not handelling the job :D

All the drivers work but when I try to install the Nvidia drivers it just says there isn't a compatible graphics card available. Upgrade my motherboards BIOS to 1708 which is the latest one. Still didn't make it work. Hope that anybody can help me because I want to start gaming!

MSI GeForce GTX 760 Startup freeze.

Hi, first I'll start by listing specs:
-MSI geforce gtx 760, 4gb GDDR5
-Gigabyte H81.Amp-Up, LGA 1150
-Intel Core i5 4570 LGA 1150
-Corsair Vengeance LP, 2x4gb
-Seasonic S12II-620Bronze (620 watt)
-Windows 8.1 64-bit
I just recently attempted my first build, while putting the hardware together seemed like a breeze, the updating did not go so well. I booted up installed windows and went on as normal. When I opened a game it was extremely sluggish, so I decided to see if updating the drivers for the GTX 760, First I visited the official site for the drivers and once downloaded and installed was prompted to restart to finish the download. Once it restarted the entire system seemed to freeze just before windows started up. I had control of the mouse, but windows seemed to never start up. Since I couldn't access Windows I decided to re-install it. It booted as normal, so I decided to use the CD that came with the videocard. The exact same thing happened. I was thinking of updating BIOS, but that was a last resort sort of thing since I am admittedly not very tech savvy. Thank you ahead of time for your responses.

I actually found the problem late last night sorry I didn't post until now. The videocard wasn't getting enough power, I just switched leads. Thanks though.

Can a Packard Bell Aspire M3802/M5802 support a nVidia GeForce GTX 750?

Hi. I have a Packard Bell Aspire M3802/M5802. It has an Acer motherboard (G43T-AM), 8gb ram (ddr2, 800mHz), an Intel CPU (Q8300 quad core 2,5GHz @2,5GHz, don't remember the clock).So my question is: can this PC handle a nVidia GeForce GTX 750?

Black_Bullet,
The GeForce GTX 750 uses PCI Express 3.0, the AM-3802 and AM-5802 both have PCI Express 2.0; but it should work since the PCI Express slots are backwards compatible. The only issue I can see would be that the BIOS would not support the card itself.
From what I can tell we only received one BIOS so I would reccomend you get a video card with legacy mode/switch or rom option. The MSI GTX-750 Ti has dual BIOS so you can do EFI/LEGACY, http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-Corp-N750TI-2GD5/dp/B00I6DLIB8, if that helps.

Will a MSI GeForce GTX 660 work on my HP Pavilion p6-2102ed?

Hi all,
I have a HP Pavilion p6-2102ed with the H-CUPERTINO2-H61-uA TX (Cupertino2) motherboard.
I would like to upgrade it with a MSI GeForce GTX 660.
Now is the big question: will they both work together?
I already read something about the powersupply. The videocard requires a six-pinned plug connected to a powersupply, which the p6-2102ed doesn't have.
1: How do I solve this? Do I have to buy an external powersupply? If so, what powersupply do you reccomend? Or can I just buy a powercable (with six pins) and connect it to the powersupply built in the p6-2102ed?
2: I read the MSI GeForce GTX 660 measures 260 mm long. I think it will fit in the case. So that won't be the problem I think.
3: Will the Bios accept the new videocard? Or do I have to adjust some settings in the Bios?
These are all of the issues that I can think of right now.
Please correct me if something I wrote is wrong and if you know more important information, please tell me!
Thank you for helping me.

Hi seb_asian!: off the top of my head I can think of my ATI Radeon HD5570, the GeForce 240, the ATI Radeon 6570 they all will give you better performance won't either drain the PSU nor the electric bill either & they won't force your box to deploy extra fans trying to cool it down.
OK other last generation cards will give you better performance on the one hand but you may not be able to play the current games either which takes advantage of whatever state-of-the-art technology the card may contain
& slso they'll will run hotter because everything is a bit bigger transistor wise (a 50nm card vs a 30nm model as an example)
good luck
hope this helps & enlightens you

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II" crash at 50 degrees Celsius

I get artifacts (pink squares all over screen) in heaven benchmark, fluid benchmark and gta 4, a few seconds later I get a black screen and then an error message there windows tell me the driver has crash but praise msi it was successfully recovered. All this then the card is nearing 50 degrees Celsius.
I have:
MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti "Twin Frozr II", (BIOS: 70.24.0a.00.00)
Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H, Socket-AM3
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

Windows 7 64bit (with sp1)
DC OUTPUT +3.3V +5V +12V -12V +5Vsb
MAX LOAD 24A 30A 52A 0.8A 3A
I tested driver on msi site and the latest nvidia driver, even tested some beta driver. All give the same result as stated above. I also tested to set the clocks at reference speed but no go. Also tested voltage at 1025.

Got a new card today, same card but new.
No problems now, seem the new card has newer bios and lower core voltage. Maybe that is a way to fix it, just upgrade bios.

Update your graphics driver or use an older version that does not use CUDA 6.0 and uses 5.0 so PS can detect it properly...

PSU for MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti HAWK in SLI ?

Do you know what psu should i get for 2 MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti HAWK?

Depends what other components your system consists of. >>Posting Guide<<
But here is the link to the recommended PSU for such a combo. https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards
A 42A PSU is suggested. Thus a Corsair TX650 will suffice but to leave you with additional overhead you could opt for a Corsair TX750. The Corsair PSUs have single 12V rails which are recommended and have an above average reliability and build quality.
