Computer wont get past HP Splash screen after installing gtx 760

[Merkury]

Hi, after installing a new gpu i just got, i started up my computer and it wont get past the blue screen with the HP logo. Only text on the screen is the "press escape for startup menu". I don't know what i am doing wrong, i can hear the card running, i installed it and removed it and re installed it twice, but it keeps giving me this screen. Does anyone know the fix to this? I'm quite confused.

specs:
fx6100 cpu
650W psu
2a8c gigabyte mobo
10gb ram
gtx760 now (was amd 7770)

did u uninstall the amd drivers beforehead?

 

[Merkury]

No, I didnt, but i didnt do that last time i upgraded either anbd it worked. trying now after i had tried other stuff

 

[Yingda Wang]

amd/amd would work
but amd/intel might not

Is this an HP built desktop? Also I can't find any info on your mobo either so having chipset info would help to make sure its on a compatibility issue.

Actually, the motherboard name might be 2ac8 as opposed to 2a8c. I didnt have cpuz after re installing OS on my computer, only had memory to refer to. I also tried uninstalling drivers first, same effect.

if theres a compatibility issue, can someone let me know? I dont know how to check, but it thoguht it would be fine

Had the same problem with Windows 7 on the Cupertino2 mobo and GTX 760.

Fond a solution by accident. I dont know whether step 1 or 2 are essintial, but since I had performed them before they are included here:

1: Upgrade the HP bios from v7.14 to v7.16. I have done it with no GPU in the PCIe slot. Used the mobos VGA connector for the screen.
2: Delete all Nvidia files and drivers incl. registry.
3: Build in the GTX760. Make sure both the 8 and the 6 connectors cable from the PSU (600W) is connected to the graphic card.
4: Switch on the PC. As soon as the Bios screen is coming up press F12
5: New black screen with white letters and some information on configuration. At the lower right side it should show "Network Boot".
6: Wait 1 minute. There come 2 beeps with about 1/2 minutes interval.
7: Some 15 seconds after the second beep press "ESC" and keep on pressing. After some seconds some rapid cracking sound from the PC. Dont let it disturb you. Keep on pressing "ESC".
8: After the third beep the screen gets black and a white cursor blinking on the upper left. But: Keep on pressing "ESC" with no interruption.
9: After some seconds again a new screen appears with some information in DOS style. Here you can stop pressing "ESC".
10: Again black screen a few seconds, and then: Voila! Windows 7 is starting.

I dont know why its working, but it does for me. No new mobo needed 🙂
