Disclaimer:So this problem happened when i first installed my GPU and i fixed it but i cant fix it now.

So i was changing a setting in the BIOS and I hit "Ignore and set to Default" rather than "Save and Restart" This made my PC start not booting with my graphics card installed. It starts up and then the GPU powers down and the PC beeps 6 times-a graphics card failure. The card was working fine before this and like i said i had this problem previously and I was able to fix it by deleting old drivers and getting new ones, this fix didn't work this time however. Any help would be appreciated and if possible ask me for my Skype as it will be easier to receive assistance by voice rather then text.

My PC is this: HP Pavilion P7-1414 http://bit.ly/Ito3Tp
But with:
GPU: ASUS DC2OC HD 7790 1GDDR5 http://bit.ly/1b3lRg9
PSU: LEPA n500 500 Watt PSu http://bit.ly/18PrnlW

I removed the card and booted from my APU to get it running, then uninstalled the APU drivers and installed the drivers from the AMD site for my model. When I booted with the card inserted it still gave me 6 beeps and then turned off.

i am sorry to say, that I believe that your video card is [strike]broken[/strike]! and you may have to splurge on another one.

I strongly believe that your GPU card got fried from ESD.

the 6-7 beep is an alarm from your mobo bios/uefi cmos chip telling you its faulty.
