Hello everyone,
I have a problem where if I install the default graphics card (GT540) it works. However when I want to upgrade to a Radeon HD 7950, it powers on but with no display. When I go to shut off the power it instantly shuts down. To me, this means it hasn't past the boot screen. The only way I can get it to boot with the card in the computer is either;
A) Unplug one of the 6-pin adapters from the GPU
B) Disable the PCI security
Other then that I am not able to use the new GPU. It works with all my other machines except this one.
My model number is HP Pavillion HPE h8-1120.
And yes I've updated all the drivers to everything.
Does anyone know of a bios mod that would help in this situation? I believe it's just a compatibility issue that HP doesn't want people to use different graphics cards besides the ones they supply pre-built.
Thanks,

This is the 1200W I used to test it http://www.staples.ca/en/OCZ-PPCMK3S1200-Mk-III-Series-...
Here are the links to the PSU's I've tested.
Extreme 2 525W CoolerMaster - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
RetailPlus® 600W Power Supply -http://www.staples.ca/en/RetailPlus-600W-Power-Supply/p...
Yes I've tested the 7950 with the 1200W psu and still to no avail.
In the BIOS I have it so that the default device is the graphics card.
