Trouble installing Asus GTX 750ti Graphics card on i7

Pavilion i7 [email protected] (2011)
Trying to upgrade from GeForce 545 graphics card to new ASUS Geforce GTX 750Ti.
Hi - After fitting the new card I get a blank screen after the initial blue setup screen. I have already read various detailed threads on exactly this but am not sure what to do.
I have few options from what I can figure out.
1. One thread tells me how to go into the setup menu and 'disable secure boot' - others tell me this won't work (??)
2. Another very detailed thread says I must update the BIOS to a version 8 . I just did an update via HP support but it is still version 7 - the automated system doesn't let me install a newer version - not even sure if i should or how to(??)
3. This is from another thread ;-
'HP usually stops producing BIOS updates after one year from the model's initial release date which for your PC is May 2012. You need a version 8 BIOS in other to get the EVGA 750 TI to work. If you search the forum you will find many posts where many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 models have failed to owrk in PCs running a legacy BIOS ( not version 8).
The below NVIDIA GTX 750 models should work as these models will work in PCs that have a legacy BIOS or a UEFI BIOS.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF'
This suggests I simply give up on the ASUS card and get one of the cards listed above.
I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some advise. I don't feel confident messing about too much with the machine and would like a simple solution even if it costs a bit more. If I knew 100% these other cards would work I'd just exchange the ASUS.
thanks

Hi,
Interesting quotes, probably some from me.
Here is another thought for you. "Not every graphics card will work in every PC" Even graphics cards that work in one particular PC may not in fact work in a similar model or the exact same model.
Look for a NVIDIA 660 or 670 and a power supply to match the recommendation by the graphics card manufacturer.
BTW - You will probably not see a version 8 BIOS for the Pavilion models with the i7-2600 processor.

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!

I have installed an ASUS EAH5450 silent graphics card to my Pavilion m7210 desktop but get no audio via HDMI output.I have 2 high Definition Audio Controllers in Device Manager, One has an exclamation mark with message
" This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.
You need to restart your computer before the changes you made to this device will take effect."
What do i need to do to get this to work ?

The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
Kind regards,

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!!!

Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give. I'm at a loss at the moment. Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop. I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time). The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.
I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one. When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
But what if it doesn't. Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
Any suggestions? Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
Appreciate any assistance, guys.
Nervous in PA.

Hi,
I see two possibilities.
The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps. If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.

MSI GS70 GTX 765 graphics card issue

I've been using the laptop for close to 8 months and had no problems with it until I felt the need to plug it to an external monitor via a mini dp to DVi cable. It worked perfectly for a few days. I watched a few seasons of house of cards on it and one day, all of a sudden the external monitor is blank and from here on it doesnt work when connected to an external monitor. i tried the hdmi port instead, i tried the other mini DP port. I also tried a lot of different things like updating the nvidia grpahics, updating the intel graphics, I uninstalled and reinstalled all the drivers, finally after doing all of this and getting no results, i restored the laptop to its factory settings, thinking that this must be a problem that windows 8.1 caused. Even after getting it back to windows 8, its still the same. in the device manager, under display adapter, right next to the nvidia geforce gtx 765m, there's a hazard sign. So that means it detects the graphics card, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I tried installing a varied bunch of nvidia drivers too, if that means anything . Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I've posted results I got from GPU-Z. The clock rates of the GPU seem to be at zero. I'm glad that it is getting detected, but there's still the hazard sign in the device manager. What gives? :/

1. Make sure the mini-DP to DVI cable is not damaged first. Borrow another laptop or machine to try the cable to make sure it's okay.
2. Remove all NVIDIA drivers and install the NVIDIA driver from here: http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GS70-STEALTH.html#down-driver
Select your OS to download. Remember to check "Perform a clean installation" while running NVIDIA driver installer.
3. Press Fn+F2 to manually switch on the video output (MSI shortcut key function).
4. Press Windows+P to manually switch on the video output (Windows function).
5. If none of the above worked, update your BIOS & EC & remove all power sources of the laptop & poke the reset hole on the right side. Then power on again.
6. Try step 3 & 4 again.
4. If still none of the above worked, I'm afraid you may need to send it to local authorized service point to find & fix the problem.

Lenovo y 50 gtx 860m graphic card problem

Hi,
I recently bought y50.. it performed well for 4 or 5 weeks. But when I try to update nvidia driver ,it fails mentioning that suitable card is not found. But I can see the card under device manager. Then I uninstall everything related to nvidia and installed newest drivers frm nvidia web site. But no luck. Gforce experience software says that gpu is unknown.
I updated bios.
Did a system recovery
reinstall another copy of Windows and installed newest Intel and nvidia drivers
But the problem persists. Some times graphic card shows up in device manager. But when installing the driver blue screen appears saying video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error.
My system is
Gtx 860m 2gb
8gb ra
Intel core I 7 4720
Is it a hardware problem or a software problems..
please help.
thank you in advance.

HI rockykoston,Thanks for your reply. I did install gpu-z and this is the result And I ran motherboard test and video test.. Motherboard test passed. But video test for nvidia card falils What should i do now? I alse got a another bluescreen saying video_tdr_failure

Cannot Install Raedon xfs 6540 graphic card in HP 3500 Pro

Hi every body i just bought a new hp 3500 pro with Win 7.
I also bought a Raedon XFS 6540 graphics card. I installed the card and with the card in the pcie slot the HP won't even boot. I searched the problem on the net and ran into a doc that suggested I go into the bios and 1. confirm legacy support is on 2. secure boot is diabled 3. fast boot is disabled and 4. UEFI boot sources were enable. When I went into bios all those settings were already set up on the machine. SO I left the bios and installed my new card in the pcie slot. When I installed the card and turnded on the power ...........nothing. ZIP, NADDA, ZILCH. the Monitor never even came on. Does anyone have a clue what is going on? I got the card because the hp parts manual said this card worked with my 3500. Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,
As I said before, Windows 7 and UEFI don't mix from everything that I have seen and tested. I rechecked the BIOS information and it shows a version 7 bios which is non-UEFI. Perhaps HP's documention is out of date but that is the information that I am working with for the HP 3500 Pro.
Try clearing the CMOS then boot back into the BIOS and recheck the BIOS settings again.
Check the video card manufacturer's technical information for a minimum recommended power supply wattage.

Problem with NEW H520 when installed new power supply & graphic card. Please help!

My H520 was working perfectly and was running FAST..especially when rebooting. ( It was AWESOME! )Then I installed a new power supply (Coolmax 400w) and a new graphic card (Sapphire Radeon HD6450) and then everything changed. Now my computer is booting very SLOWLY and all the programs are taking a long time to load too. I was getting a black screen for almost a full 2 minutes before the windows 8.0 screen would finally load up and then it hangs there for a few seconds and finally goes to the start screen in windows. But BEFORE I installed this new hardware, when I would reboot, I would see the Lenovo splash screen come up for a few short seconds and then it instantly went to the windows welcome screen. And even then I would barely have enough time to see the welcome screen before it instantly loaded into the windows start screen. Everything would load up fast on the desktop too and we'd be good to go. It all took about 30 SECONDS.
But now? It takes MINUTES to get everything going. After it FINALLY loads up (it takes almost 2 full minutes now!), everything hangs up. When you first click on the desktop, it takes a few seconds for all of the icons to pop up. Before I loaded the new hardware, everything loaded up instantly. I didn't even see the icons load because they were already there. But now I have to wait for them to load up before I can even see them. And it's like that with every program and web browser I try to use now. Everything hangs up at first and then finally loads. The programs work but they are sluggish.
So I uninstalled the new power supply and put back in the original 280w power supply and I took out the graphic card but it did no change. The machine is STILL running slow on everything it does and booting very slowly.
I have seen this problem mentioned elsewhere about Lenovo computers but there is never a solution. Please help! It took me a long time to save up for this computer and I have been babying it ever since. I will never be able to afford a new one or pay for tech repair. I need to fix this! I was so thrilled with this computer before the hardware upgrade. This is devastating to me that it is working so poorly now when all I was trying to do was upgrade it a little bit.    Now it's performing horribly and it's only 6 months old.
I ran a four hour test on the hard drive and it is fine. I ran all the system clean ups, optimizations, registry cleanups, windows disk cleaner, defragger and virus scans. Nothing is showing up as not working but there is CLEARLY a problem. It was never this slow.   And why is it STILL acting this slow even after I uninstalled all of the new hardware that made it start acting this way and went back to the original setup?
I'm trying to run a memory test on it now but the BIOS will NOT allow me to select another drive to boot from so I can't boot from the flash drive or CD drive to run the memory test. I have NO IDEA what to do next and I am starting to pull my hair out in frustration.
Please, is there anything that can be done to make it better again?
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

I totally give up!! I restored everything to the ORIGINAL state with drivers AND hardware and STILL everything is not working properly like it was BEFORE the upgrade.
So this has been the WORST experience with Tech support EVER!! I have spent DAYS on the phone for HOURS with these technicians and nobody seems to know what they are doing. They put me on hold every 10 minutes and are gone for 10 to 15 minutes and when they come back, they seem all set on a new solution but when you ask them questions about it, they have NO CLUE how to answer and then they put you on hold again. Nothing gets solved and after HOURS on the phone, I just tell them to stop because we are getting no where but running around in circles that make no sense. THIS A NIGHTMARE!!
So I totally gave up on being able to upgrade this machine. To any future buyers, I STRONGLY recommend you do all upgrading BEFORE you get it home for the first time. Make sure you have your power supply and graphic card INCLUDED before you bring it home or you're mostly likely going to have a NIGHTMARE upgrading it later.    Technical support is a HORROR STORY and expect to be WAITING for LOOOOONNNNG periods of time both ON THE PHONE and ONLINE and probably ending up with NO SOLUTION in the end.
I've VERY upset with how this turned out!! I'm just gonna have to deal with the fact that my computer is permenantly messed up and NOBODY AT LENOVO knows how to fix it. So I'm stuck.
I decided to send back the new power supply and the new graphic card because of this nightmare with tech support. I put everything back to the way it was when I bought the computer and it is STILL acting up!! I just want to revert it back to factory settings .. INCLUDING THE BIOS... but Lenovo said I have to send the WHOLE computer back to them to do that. All I can do from home is restore from a point in the hard drive and that's not enough. I need a TOTAL CLEAN INSTALL. Everything needs to be wiped out and reset, not just restored to a previous restore point. I've done this multiple times and all it does is erase all the programs and stuff I put on the computer. The drivers and other codes are still the same. And then bugs come up and things get all wonky. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I TRIED TO UPGRADE IT!!
I am NOT comfortable with Lenovo's "solution". I do NOT want to send my computer back to them for them to reset it with factory disks ESPECIALLY when they stated that they are NOT responsible for any damage in transport or otherwise. I have to buy extra packaging to make sure it gets there safely. They told me to use the original box and packaging, that is the only way they can be sure it will get there safe. Who has the original stuffing SIX MONTHS LATER?!?! I don't want to be sending my computer across the country to get jostled all over the place and have that add to the slowness of the hardware because it was jostled.
Can't I reset it from home? Can they not send ME the disks instead of me sending my whole computer to them?
I'm so incredibly frustrated with this. I hope somebody answers quickly and that I don't have to wait DAYS to get a response again.
I absolutely LOVED my Lenovo computer! And then I tried to upgrade it. BIG MISTAKE!! Now everything is totally messed up and Lenovo's customer support for technical problems is HORRID!!
Somebody please help. This is driving me crazy with frustration and totally breaking my heart. It took me a VERY long time to save up for this computer and it was my most loved possession. It was a reward for a lot of hard times and now it's all broken and acting slow. And it's only 6 months old.
Is there a solution to this very frustrating problem?
I just want it to go back to the way it was before.
And is there a very low cost KNOWN TO WORK WITH THIS MACHINE upgraded graphic card and power supply? Is there a very specific brand and make? If so, could you let me know what it is in case I try to upgrade it again someday?
Thank you for your time and for reading this!
Please have a FANTASTIC day today!!

Asus 7535G Two graphics cards

I have a problem with my Asus 7535G: it has 2 graphics cards:
from lspci:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series]
Arch uses the HD 3200, but obviously I'd like to use the HD45xx one (it has 512 dedicated RAM that is unused now.
I can't disable the HD 3200 in the BIOS.
I tried using xorg --configure but that freezes my entire system and does not produce an xorg.conf file.
The HD 3200 works without xorg.conf.
Other information:
I'm on Arch x86_64, use x86-video-ati and nothing from Testing or AUR
And of course I searched the net for a solution
Can someone help me with this?

Do you only have one display output on each graphic controller (1 on the backpanel of your mainboard and 1 at your graphics card)?
Which drivers for them do you use?

Four displays on one GTX 670 graphics card

For anyone needing or wanting four displays driven by one card, I just successfully hooked up my fourth display to an Asus GTX 670. I needed a Displayport to DVI adapter for my fourth display. The HDMI port is connected to a Plasma TV, but I'm sure I could have hooked up another monitor instead if I wanted.
By the way, I was concerned about using a long (50 feet) HDMI cable to the TV, but it works great. In reply to an earlier poster, I could edit on the plasma TV if needed, but I'm only using it for display. In my opinion, an HDMI cable is the ultimate method for getting content from a computer and/or internet to a TV.

The HDMi 1.4 cables that are heavily shielded are exactly what you want for that kind of cable run. I have a setup at my Father in Law's house with 50 Foot HDMI 1.4 cable and it runs great. It's also what I recommend to our clients since that is really far outside of DVI or Displayport's spec.

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.
