I have a HP P6-2171a (Joshua) mobo Quad 3.1GHz 6GB. I bought a new 600W PSU and GTX650 OC 2GB. PSU is all good.
Every time I uninstall onboard graphics they reinstall during reboot. After trying for 48 hours, only once did I get to see the new 650 card appear in Device Manager, but then it disappeared again during the reboot.
The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD Integrated graphics can support use of both DVI ports at the same time. On the P6 the onboard graphics cannot disabled in BIOS.
The PCI-e card I am replacing is a Radeon HD 7450 which has both DVI and HDMI and looks quite different from a new AMD Radeon HD 7450 DP. If you google P6-2171a you will see. It was only released in Australia & New Zealand.
I am getting the feeling the mobo and the 7450 are hard coded together. Could that be possible? Should I look at replacing the mobo??
I am at the end of my knowledge and what google tells me. Any help much appreciated.
