VGA Problems Help!

I try to Install the GTX 660 MSI OC but it would not respond to the monitors, its all because of the APU graphics, I would Uninstall/disable it and it would re-install/enable again which will get the GTX 660 to not respond to monitors, my OS is a Windows 8.
I need solutions to get this GTX 660 working.
Please? Need answers quickly!

yes... go into the BIOS and either disable it or set the priority to the PCIE slot

But where is the option for that in the BIOS on Windows 8?

corroded · Mar 8, 2014

no.. hardware... not win8

@ boot up... Del, F10 or something to get into the BIOS

Alright, I did get a solution to set the Graphics to PCI-E on the UEFI settings, What do I need to do after?

Grimmeh · Mar 8, 2014

corroded :

Didn't work, the BIOS(UEFI) did not have the option to disable the APU Graphics

corroded · Mar 8, 2014

there should be a priority setting then.. onboard or PCIE

what is the exact MoBo?

Grimmeh · Mar 8, 2014

corroded :

It is a AAHD2-HY(Holly2)

Eye C says the blind man... HP, not gaming rig... Looking. U may be SOL

corroded · Mar 8, 2014

ok.. MoBo description says nothing relative to issue.

In the BIOS, when you look thru all the pages, there is nothing about Graphics, GPU, API, onboard, PCIE... priority/precedence?

What is the HP model number and #ABA number of the system?

Grimmeh · Mar 8, 2014

corroded :

Well I did see Slot Security and it showed all PCI Slots.
And the Model is a P6-2376 and yes I upgraded the PSU to EVGA 500w 80 Plus

This is going to sound stupid, but did you remember to plug in video to the graphics card and not the motherboard?

Also, what CPU do you have?

corroded · Mar 8, 2014

tab has a point, most, not all, GPU's have a power plug that MUST be connected... is it?

Grimmeh · Mar 9, 2014

tabascosauz :

Yes and the CPU is a A4-3420, and lots of people said the GTX 660 MSI OC is compatible with my system

corroded · Mar 9, 2014

YES... But it is NOT a custom, off the shelf computer...

IT is an HP. They are not like a home built. They do not build gaming systems.

What is the #ABA model number?

Grimmeh · Mar 9, 2014

corroded :

p6-2376

corroded · Mar 9, 2014

looked at all the documents... as I suspected... HP has nothing on the BIOS configurations...

If you cannot find a selection for video / GPU / APU slot priority in the BIOS, it is "auto" select.

Got a buddy with an AMD card you can try?

Grimmeh · Mar 9, 2014

corroded :

No at the moment and I can just return the GTX 660 back to Newegg and see if I can get a refund, and then I will try to get myself a great GPU somewhere at $100-$250 or I can get a friend over and see whats the problem, maybe.

What can you think? And should I replace my EVGA 500w PSU back to my 300w so I can save my 500w PSU incase If I want to build a computer or any other future uses?

corroded · Mar 10, 2014

leave the 500w in place.

like I said... HP's can game, but are not gaming PC's
