Hey
I recently bought a zotac gtx 1060 mini to upgrade my older hp pavillion desktop.
I upgraded this computer a few years ago with a new power supply and a radeon hd 7850. I plugged everything in correctly etc, but when I try to boot it freezes at the hp logo and I can^t even enter bios. It then starts beeping in intervals of about 15 seconds. I read that it has something to do with legacy bios. I don't have an option to change to UEFI, but i have a list of UEFI and legacy boot sources. However my HDD is not a part of the UEFI boot options. I also tried unpluggin the HDD but it still freezes on startup. What can I do? I think it is a waste to build a new computer, since I have an i7-2600 and 8 gigs of ram which is enough for what I do. Yes I know I should'nt have bought a prebuilt computer but back then I knew nothing xD. I also can't return the graphics card since there is no return laws in my country. The motherboard is an Intel-h61 chipset. Could I just buy an old Motherboard that would be compatibel with the card and prozessor etc?. And where do I find old Motherboards?.
