have you connected the 6pin connector of the PSU to the GPU? install the driver first before installing the GPU to board. try again. i am following your post, ill answer it to the best that i can

Tell your BIOS to boot to PCI-Expressx16

uh i think i did, i went to slot security and enabled it

its is connected and when i tried to install the driver it starts to install but never finishes and i left it to install for about an hour and it never would finish

 

[meowmix44]

Huuh, lol. You set your motherboards default VGA device to PCI-Express

you should install the drivers. without it, the GPU will not be recognized. its like buying a luxury card without you knowing how to drive. what is your CPU and PSU by the way?

If the card is not installed properly, try to push in and listen for a sound or pull a slider to lock the card into place. After frimly in, please set PCI-Express as the default VGA device, and save/reboot

What is your motherboard and PSU?
Does the GPU fan spinup?

yes, it comes on but i dont think its detected

 

[assassinpuff]

when i try to install the graphics card's driver it says enumerating source media for installable packages and never does anything

If you cannot see the POST screen with the GPU installed, no sense messing with the drivers.

This is just one of those threads..... Hard to understand all the things going on. We need SR-71 Blackbird up in here. Im sure him or MouseMonkey can solve, but its iffy

 

[Carl Angelo De Leon]

[assassinpuff]

I have an HP and it has hewlett-packard and it has utility setup, is that the same as BIOS?

Since you seem to have a oem desktop, i think you may have to reset the cmos with the motherboard jumper switch then install the card. You could either do this by plugging out all the power from psu and battery out of the motherboard and install it.
