It may be an onboard graphics, meaning it's integrated into the motherboard
but usually those are detected. As both Sharon F. and I have suggested, you
might want to visit the HP website and see if they have graphics drivers for
your model. If that doesn't resolve it, I'd have the system checked out as
you may have a hardware issue given the graphics card is not detected. It's
possible the card is just not properly or well seated in its slot. If it's
integrated into the motherboard, there may be some more serious hardware
issue, whatever the case, you should have the system checked out.
