Hi guys! Long time lurker, first time poster. Just looking for some help from all you gurus. So basically I was trying to breathe a little more life into my old HP Pavilion HPE H8 1017c desktop by installing a new graphics card and power supply. I went really budget since this is an old machine and only want it to last a bit longer to play some decent games before getting a new rig. When I installed the new card and power supply, the PC turns on, fans spin, everything normal except for the graphics card. It spins for a second and stops and I get no display. From the tons of trouble shoots and similar problem articles I've read, nothing seems to work. What I've done so far: Reset the bios by removing the CMOS battery, no dice. Cleaned out the pc with a paintbrush removing any dust particles that were lingering around. Checked the HP site for similar issues but the only relevant article was for Windows 8.1/10 and changing some things around in the BIOS. Win 7 didn't have the same options so I wasn't able to try that.
Current Specs:
Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel Core i7 2600S @ 2.80GHz
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
PEGATRON CORPORATION 2AC2 (CPU 1)
Graphics
SAMSUNG (1360x768@60Hz)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6570 (Unknown)
What I purchased to install:
Core Radeon R7 240A 4GB DDR3
EVGA 600W 80 PLUS
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -epicb3ard
