Pavilion P6-2326s Power cycling with new graphics card

Hi, I just got a Pavilion P6-2326s from a friend that didn't want it anymore because it was broken. I know a little about PCs so I thought i could fix it and have a spare. It would fire up and run but no video. I figured onboard video was dead and ordered a new cheap video card(EVGA GT610 1GB). I installed it and and no go. the pc just cycles through starting for 3-4 seconds, stops, starts again for few seconds and goes again. It will keep doing this forever or until I hold in power button to shut down. I thought maybe vid card was drawing too much juice, so I removed power supply and put in a known good, 550 watt that I have. Same deal with the start, stop sequence. Tried removing, replcing battery to refresh CMOS in BIOS. Same result with start, stop sequence. Is it safe to assume that Motherboard is probable fried? One othe note, when I got the PC and opened it up, it was the dirtiest PC I have ever seen. It was really caked up with dust and webs. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance

You would definitely need to remove the add on video card in order to change the BIOS settings, but if you don't have any video with the video card removed, then you still can't see the BIOS settings, and you are pretty much out of luck.
You would probably be throwing good money after bad unless you can find the same motherboard on eBay in used but tested and working condition at a very reasonable price.
Here are listings of the motherboard your model uses.  They may be from different model PC's however that use the same motherboard and again, you may not be able to use W8 because if some of those motherboards came from models with W7, there won't be a W8 product key in the BIOS.

Then there might be a problem with getting Windows 8 reactivated since the motherboard was changed even if you do manage to find one that came from a PC with W8.
If it were me...This would be a case where I would strip it for parts, and toss the rest of it out.

  • 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!

  • Flash movies makes horrible "flickering" sound with new graphic card!

    I just bought a Gigabyte GeForce 460 GTX 1GB and now when I watch Flash movies
    the movies makes a really bad "flick" flick" "flick" sound. If i scroll down and away from the actuall movie screen
    the bad sound stops and the movie plays normally. But soon as I scroll up to the movie the sounds starts again.
    Can't stand the bad sound quality anymore!
    I tried latest Firefox & Internet Explorer.
    I tried uninstall both flash and drivers then reinstall with the latest updates.

    Hi,
    You replaced the graphics card and power supply with no luck.
    A new battery and CMOS reset also did not help.
    All you have left to do is swap in a replacement CPU (probably not worth the money or effort), or troubleshoot the memory modules, or the motherboard is toast. I would agree the motherboard is probably dead as you would receive boot error codes for faulty CPU or memory.
    The dust and grime buildup most likely created excessive heat which killed the PC. That is unfortunate as this PC is around two years old.
    Very good detective work on your part!

  • Problem with new graphic card Geforce GT 610 installed in HP Pavilion a6710in

    I have recently installed the nVidia GeForce GT 610 graphic card. The problem faced by me is especially during playing games, the screen goes black and PC restarts but it works fine with rest of the things. I have disabled the integrated video card as would be if new video card is installed. The problem is still unclear... so please if anyone can help me out with this...

    The GT 610 requires a minimum of a 300 watt system power supply and your computer came from the factory with a 250 watt power supply. When playing games, it is very possible that the card draws more current than the 250 watt PSU can supply. This would cause the computer to crash, go blank, and/or reboot. Please upgrade the power to at least 300 watts.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion p6, hangs on post with new grafik card Nvidia GTX750Ti

    Hi, i have an p6-2056sc, with a new grafik card gtx750ti (nvidia) hangs on post screen, i have updated the bios to the latest and change the PSU to an 430Watts, but still it won't boot, the card works in another pc so it seems ok, so what could be wrong ? if i put the old graficcard back it works again.

    Hi,
    Did your PC ship with Win 8 or Win 7?
    Your power supply seems to have enough power to run the card. Are all internal connections for power being made to the graphics card? Some graphics cards need additional four or six pin power connections to run the card.
    The only other thing I could think are is "secure boot". If your PC shipped with Win 7 that should not be a factor.
    The motherboard slot you are connecting the graphics card to should be enabled in BIOS (you are using this slot for your old card) so that should not be the problem. 
    Here is a guide on selecting graphics cards written by a very knowledgeable forum member. Maybe it will help.
    I am out of ideas??

  • New PSU for MSI P67S-C43 (B3) with new graphics card.

    Good morning!
    I'm in the market for a new PSU for my system (specs in signature). I think the current PSU I have would be sufficient for the graphics card I'm looking at getting,  GeForce GTX 680 FTW+ (EVGA 04G-P4-3687-KR), however, I'd like to go modular. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!
    like_a_god

    A GTX680 system pulls less exactly same power like the same system with GTX260 (both 38A minimum without oc). So in terms of power there is no need for psu upgrade as the TX650 could handle a GTX680 with ease. Considering an oc card it might be 40A required minimum.
    None the less this is a MSI forum so next time please don't ask for psu upgrades for an EVGA card. Better get an MSI card instead like N680GTX Lightning or N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GD5/OC (if you need 4GB).
    If you want to upgarde the psu just because of it being modular then go for an 850w psu to have a noticeable power upgrade also. The HX850 is then the better choice. If you want a fully modular unit it would take AX850 instead.

  • Screen resolution with new graphics card

    Mac G4 400 AGP (Sawtooth) OS9.2.2 + Tiger
    Hi, I have just updated my old G4 with new HD and new Nvidia GeForce 2MX graphics card. Under OSX everything seems fine but under OS9 the screen (22 Lacie Electron) will only display at 640 x 480 with no other choice of resolutions. I cannot find any drivers other than the Driver Update 3.0v1.1 which gives a message that it 'cannot be run on this computer'.
    The original ATI Rage had extensions but I cannot find anything for the Nvidea card - do I nee to reinstall the OS to have them load?
    Is this lack of resolution normal or can I change it? I only boot onto OS9 to access some older SCSI devices but the screen re is horrible and makes it hard to use.
    Any help or advice welcome. Thanks.
    Message was edited by: AntF

    Hi, AntF -
    The OS 9.2.2 download updater includes NVIDIA drivers (v. 2.4), but they probably would not have been installed if the NVIDIA card was not in the machine at the time the updater was run.
    You can probably get them installed them by re-running the OS 9.2.2 updater, now that the card is present.
    Or, you can extract them manually from the Installation Tome contained in that download update. You can use the utility TomeViewer to extract (expand) any files you want from an Installation Tome on an OS Install CD or download disk image, without running the installer. There are several NVIDIA extensions; since the default view in TomeViewer is alphabetical, you should be able to grab all of them as a group. Extract (expand) them to the desktop, then (while booted to OS 9) drop them into the closed System Folder - Finder will place them for you.
    How to use TomeViewer
    I would do the second, since it is safer (there's no risk of the installer accidentally replacing something which should not be replaced).
    In case you do not have the OS 9.2.2 updater handy -
    Article #75186 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Download and Info
    After getting the NVIDIA extensions installed, restart. Then use Extensions Manager to turn off (uncheck) the ATI extensions. Restart again.

  • Monitor will not turn on with new graphics card

  • SR5139UK No sound with new graphics card

    Hi
    I replaced my graphics card , as the picture was becoming blurred, and often froze when warm.  The new card is a ASUS EAH 5450  Silent card.  Now for some strange reason I no longer have any sound available from my computer.  If I insert the old card, i instantly get sound.  I have uninstall both the sound drivers for Realtek, and the graphic driver without resolving the problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Are you using a HDMI connected monitor with internal speakers in the monitor? If you set HDMI as your default sound device in Realtek then you might get sound out of your standalone speakers.  There is a way to get both working by using a separate Y  audio cable into the back of your PC with one feed going to the monitor and the other to your standalone speakers.

  • G5 Power Mac with bad graphics card?

    I have a 3 year old G5 Power Mac running 10.6.4 and a 30" Cinema Display. Sometimes, in the middle of a task, my display goes black. Can't bring it back and have to sometimes restart the computer 2-3 times before the display comes back on. This has also happened with my previous 23" monitor so it seems to be the computer. Is my graphics card going bad?
    Thanks for any help.

    Did you ever update the firmware?

    Is the card clean? The X1900 is a notorious dust catcher, resulting in premature death due to over heating.

  • Qosmio G10 with new graphic card and pcb - Tools CD Update doesn't work

    Hi everybody
    I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 back from the support, because the notebook didn't work anymore. So I get it back with a new Grafic card and a new PCB. With my Notebook I get a CD which is called update Tool CD-Rom and an instruction sheet, where it says that you have to boot with this update Tool CD-Rom after you had installed the Windows with the reovery CD.
    So I made it, but when I know put the update Tool CD-Rom in and I boot with it, the computer installs something but after a short while there comes a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to shut down the Notebook. So i made it but the Windows doesn't start.
    Why is that so? I had everything done which was said on the instruction sheet.
    Please help me

    Hello
    It will be interesting to find out more about this update Tool CD-Rom. Is there Toshiba label? Can you please write what is described there?

    The details about my laptop can be found here
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=5403386&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
    It has an inbuilt ati radeon 8670m graphics card...but it's not sufficient for my gaming needs. I was wondering if my laptop has the capability to be upgraded to a better nvidea graphics card. Can I install another graphics card at its place and still make the system perform normally. Would it have any compatability issues??
    I want to know the details of how it could be done? Also suggest some good graphics card from nvidia.
    Thank YOu !!

    Hi:
    Your notebook does not have a removable graphics "card."
    The graphics processing units are soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced.
    Your model has the best graphics solution offered, so if it isn't going to meet your needs, you will have to consider selling or trading your notebook in for one with the graphics solution you want.
