The machine; HP Pavilion HPE h8-1237c
Its configuration; CPU Intel i5 2nd generation, RAM 10 GIG, Hard drive Seagate 2TB, Graphics Nvidia 500 series. Power supply Anker 450 watts Operating System; Windows 7 Home Premium 64byte.

The situation, fresh install of factory media after reformatting the HDD. Installed all updates available from HP. Cleared CMOS.

The problem, tried to install, Powercolor 7770 HD, MSI Geforce GT 750TI, Nvidia 745, no video a single beep from the computer after installation which would repeat after 30 seconds.

Installation method; remove all old drivers, clear CMOS(just in case) drain electrical charge from computer, then install card.
 
Solution
Is that Power supply Antec or Anker (cause i have never heard of Anker), any you probably need a better Power supply with atleaset 650 watts of power

The answer to my problem wasn't a power supply with more output. The problem was in the graphics cards I chose. None were compatible with the motherboard. BTW each of the cards I tried functioned perfectly in a Dell XPS 8500 (i7 3rd generation) which had the factory 460 watt power supply.:bounce:
