I did try with another PSU, a 700W, same result. At this point I'll avoid another risk of further incompatibility and just get a new motherboard and computer case for it to fit hehe. The ASRock Z77 Extreme3 seemed pretty nice and affordable. You're welcome with your suggestions!

I ran in Safe mode. The program says there's an error when searching for display adapters. It can't initialize and shuts itself down.

I actually had forgotten that I had started one already in this one, sorry hehe..! I've been in the past night and this whole day in a lot of forums, at some point I lost track..

I've done that, only I ran into a problem running the update.exe (yes, it was under admin). It opens a window for 1.5 seconds warning me not to shut down the computer and saying it's "searching for display adapters to update" only to shut itself down, without any prompt or nothing. It doesn't...

EVGA support suggested updating the firmware using the other computer on which the new GPU worked, only I'm not familiar with how to do that.. Is it like simply upgrading the driver, or something more complex? How do I it? Here's what he said : Also since you do have other computers at your...

EDIT: Sorry for double thread, didn't notice after a night and day posting on countless forums looking for answers.. Kind of lost track My specs: Computer Unit - HP Pavillon HPE H8-1022 Motherboard - Pegatron IPISB-CH2 CPU - Intel Core i7-2600CPU @3.4 ghz OS - Windows 7 64-bit GPU - EVGA...

Yeah no onboard video with my computer unit. As for detecting the PCI-e, I guess it's already doing it since right now my HD 6770 Radeon works without a problem (before anyone says it, yes, I had removed all drivers and everything before putting the new GPU). Though it might be worth checking...

No, I can't get further the HP start menu screen from the very very beginning. It's stuck there and doesn't respond to any keyboard commands, making a beeping noise every 10-15 seconds. EVGA support suggested updating the firmware using the other computer on which the new GPu worked, only I'm...

Also, I contacted EVGA support and he advised me to update the firmware on my video card. How do I do that? Is it like simply downloading the latest driver, or something more complicated? Here's what he said: Also since you do have other computers at your disposal you could try updating the...

For the form factor, I know that most Motherboards are of an ATX form. Mine however, if you look here : http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02866215&prodSeriesId=5080764 Says it is an "u-ATX"... What does it mean?? Is it still an ATX, or is it somehow...

It's pretty disappointing to hear..! Do you think buying a new motherboard will cut it? And would most motherboards be compatible with my computer? I've read things about having to use HP specific hardware, as other motherboards might just not even fit in my computer case. Is that true? What...

It might be something with the PCI-e slot indeed actually. But the card is supposed to be able to take any of them, as it said on the box, so I'm not sure. Might be my BIOS, even though I updated it. Might be the motherboard itself, but I've seen others with the same one and using GTX...

Thank you for the answers! I'm not sure the motherboard is incompatible with my card since I've found upon my research many other people with the same motherboard and using GTX cards of the 500-600-700 models. Might be something with my unit in particular, just as something else entirely. It's...

Spent the whole night searching for that myself heheh. Without luck though.. Yes, it was an AMD card I had that came with the computer. But I've seen many people with the same motherboard and with GTX cards, either 500-600-700 models. So it might be something with my unit in particular as it...
