You need to disable secure boot and enable legacy mode in the motherboard's BIOS. Preferably, you should get a graphics card that has a UEFI ready video BIOS.


so would that gigabyte gpu have a uefi?


No. It's legacy BIOS.

UEFI BIOS supports Secure Boot. Graphics cards that have a UEFI BIOS will say so in their marketing material. An example of such a card (i.e. you shouldn't need to disable Secure Boot in the motherboard's BIOS when using this card.):

this is really getting frustrating. so if i order the card will i be able to use it


Sorry we can't be more specific. But this forum (and others) is filled with HP desktop owners that can't get their retail card to work in their machine. It is a common thread. Some get theirs to work, some don't. It appears to be an HP-specific issue.
Here's a related thread that may help: https://www.sapphireforum.com/showthread.php?32410-Help...


so it looks like il have to disable sucure boot in the bios menu. and reinstall new drivers.

Yes, by talking to others that are in your situation. The HP forum would be a good start to finding folks like that.
