Hello everyone,
I have a problem where if I install the default graphics card (GT540) it works. However when I want to upgrade to a Radeon HD 7950, it powers on but with no display. When I go to shut off the power it instantly shuts down. To me, this means it hasn't past the boot screen. The only way I can get it to boot with the card in the computer is either;
A) Unplug one of the 6-pin adapters from the GPU
B) Disable the PCI security
Other then that I am not able to use the new GPU. It works with all my other machines except this one.
My model number is HP Pavillion HPE h8-1120.
And yes I've updated all the drivers to everything.
Does anyone know of a bios mod that would help in this situation? I believe it's just a compatibility issue that HP doesn't want people to use different graphics cards besides the ones they supply pre-built.
Thanks,
