Hi, I have a Hewlett-Packard p7-1058uk desktop and below are some further information which may be useful:

Main Circuit Board:

Board: PEGATRON CORPORATION 2AB6 1.04
Serial Number: 109444210000387
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: AMI 7.15 10/13/2011

Processer:

3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-2600
256 kilobyte primary memory cache
1024 kilobyte secondary memory cache
8192 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (4 total)
Hyper-threaded (8 total)

Operating System:

Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601)

I am currently using the graphics card GTX 650 but I want to upgrade it to GTX 760. I got an ASUS GTX 760 from Amazon and I installed the new card with no trouble, but if I turn the power on I could only see the hp loading screen and it just freezes there, I then hear three beeps with long pauses followed by three rapids beeps before the monitor goes blank. I tried to find what the beep codes means but I couldn't find information about this combination. Can anyone please help me identify where the problem is? Thank you.
 
Solution
you have a pci-e x16 slot on your board....it should work, only unless hp puts a lock on changing any hardware (very unlikely). its still a good idea to have a word with hp customer care and verify the same.


good luck :)

Also, your PSU may not have enough amps, or could be maxing out. After updating your mobo with the 650, see if you can check what PSU you have. You have a 300watt PSU that most likely cant run anything more than the 650 at least.

Thanks guys for the reply, sorry to not mention before but I have already changed my PSU to G7 Power extreme 780w when I bought the GTX 650 awhile ago. I also have already updated my bios to the newest version ( or at least that the newest version HP website can provide, maybe this is where the problem is?), I tried to install the 760 but failed after I already done those two. Any suggestion? Could anyone also tell me whether my motherboard is compatible with the GTX760? Thank you.
