Hi all,
I have an HP Pavilion p6-2055a Desktop PC with Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 8.1 update in dual-boot configuration on separate partitions on the hdd.
The BIOS is a standard HP System BIOS and Setup Utility (System BIOS CAR_713.ROM v7.13 American Megatrends) a BIOS/UEFI hybrid.
I have replaced the power unit with an eXtreme power DF550 (550 watt) power unit.
I want to install a GIGABYTE GEForce GT740 2048MB DDR3 (model name GV_N740D3_2GI)
[NVIDIA GT 740/REV 1.0, PCI-E 3.0/2GB DDR3/128 bit. Bual-Link DVI-D x 2/D-SUB/HDMI]
graphics card.
The card should be compatible with my machine and system (Intel i7 2600 CPU/8GB RAM/1TB HDD. I have installed the drivers and utilities supplied by the install CD and gone through all updates offered in both Win7 and Win 8.1.
On machine startup, the HP BIOS (described above) presents a first screen which presents the option to press the Escape key to bring up the Setup Utility or, after a 20 second countdown, to go straight to the Boot Menu
Problem: after replacing the old card with the new card and pressing the power button, that first BIOS screen appears but I cannot get past it. With the new card installed no input devices are recognised - i.e. keyboards and mice, wired or wireless and so the escape key cannot be recognised nor any function keys, and, after the 20 second countdown, the machine effectively goes to standby power mode instead of going to the Boot Menu.
Nothing I have tried in any configuration can get past this. I have even setup the machine configuration to skip the BIOS screens altogether and go straight to the Boot Menu after power-on, which works with my old card, but the new card ignores this somehow and the HP BIOS screen appears.
Has anyone else encountered this or a similar problem? Does anyone have a solution? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
