Ok so i have a hp pavilion hpe h8 1000... and i have a nvidia quadro k620 but the graphics card wont work... i put it in and the turn the pc on and it starts up but then beeps a few times and wont even let me into bios.. sometimes doesnt even show a picture. I have a 300w psu but ive swapped things over to a different motherboard on a friends pc and everything worked fine but on mine it doesnt can someone please explain this to me?? It would be much appreciated
 
try a new slightly larger power supply.
BTW: this is an older unit, time to upgrade,don't waste money trying to keep this one alive
 
You could do another thread about it, but there are several costs and trade-offs people make in decisions of this nature. I knew one woman who was still rocking a Win 95 OEM IBM box in 2006, when it died.

There's the matter of "convenience:" moving files, organizing files, installing software purchased independently of the original OEM bundle. There's the money. There's the speed -- and other inconvenient matters. Should the money go for a replacement part? And how long will I keep the system? Can I salvage the new replacement part when I send the rest of it to electronic recycling? And if I buy an OEM replacement, why will I need to keep the replacement part? Or will it be useful -- even an "upgrade" to the replacement OEM box? Can I sell it?

Ah feel this pain. Ah feel your pain.
 
If it turns on but gives a beep error, that likely is a hardware problem, likely GPU or RAM related, or something isn't seated/connected right. Does the GPU require a 6 pin connector? Also, look up the beep code on HP support website.
