Ok, so I have an HP Pavilion Elite m9715f Desktop PC, and I want to upgrade the GPU to a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750. I have one currently, it fits, and the BIOS splash appears, but it is frozen on that. I got the graphics card mentioned above on clearance, so I thought it was a faulty one that they were trying to re-sell, but to be sure that my computer is compatible with it I am asking here.

Looking at the motherboard, I can't see why it wouldn't. In rare cases, there are times when OEM machines such as HP or Dell do not like aftermarket graphics boards, but things like that don't happen often. As other users have suggested, I would check out the power supply and make sure it's up to powering that card. Lots of times OEM machines will come with power supplies that are only just barely enough to run the system. If that's the case, that might be your issue.

Edit: This is especially true if your 750 needs external PCI-E power. I can't think of a non-Ti version that needs it, but maybe you found one.

What power supply do you have? As in, how many watts are there in your power supply? I think that card requires 350 watts to run although it will probably use less under full load. If your PC freezes try to restart it and maybe do a factory reset or something. Try to unplug the graphics card and plug it back in. Ensure that all your cables inside the PC are plugged in correctly because that could cause a black screen. If nothing else works send it back to the company you got the card for and ask for a refund.
