Help installing new GPU on windows 8 please!!!

[AThurst1990]

Okay, so I'm not the most tech savvy person, but I've never had trouble installing new psu's gpu's or anything else for that matter. I'm on a stock HP P7 - 1534, with integrated graphics (HD7560D).

Windows 8

PSU was upgraded to 530w

I'm trying to install an HD 6770, initially after installing the card, my pc wouldn't boot. I was greeted by an orange blinking light and 6 beeps signifying a problem with the gpu. Found out that with this UEFI Firmware you have to disable secure boot and enable legacy mode for your pc to even recognize a new card. After changing the settings, my pc will boot, but I can't get anything to display on my monitor. I've tried using both my standard monitor (connecting directly to the mobo via VGA) and I've also tried connecting an HDTV directly to the card, neither will display an image. Do I need to boot in safe mode and disable my HD7650? Do I need to install drivers for the 6770 beforehand? Pretty lost here, please help.

make sure all the wires you taken out are back and that theres a pci cable in the GPU

Remember that onboard video and a graphics card are going to have different connections to your monitor ( meaning you will plug your monitor in to your pc in different spots ). Put the GPU you in, hook up any power if it needs it, and install all of the drivers and whatnot. Do all of this while your monitor is plugged into your MOBO video slot. Once you do all that and your computer picks up on the graphics card, switch over to using dedicated graphics and plug monitor into graphic card .

Everything is connected properly including the 6 pin into the card, pc boots fine using itegrated graphics if I remove the card and plug my monitor back into the mobo. I think maybe I need to remove the drivers for my integrated graphics first for my pc to recognize the new card?

try doing that Use DDU driver uninstaller

GPU is connected properly and is getting power, I had an HDTV plugged directly into the card and couldn't get an image. If I remove the card and plug my monitor back into the MOBO's vga port everything works fine ( my monitor is VGA and I don't have a DVI adapter, so I'm using an HDTV to test the card because it has 2 DVI and an HDMI Port ).

Ran DDU uninstaller in safe mode, picked the clean option (for installing new gpu). Still can't get an image to display, could it be the card?

I'm thinking maybe I need to disable the onboard graphics adapter, or switch it over to the PCI somehow. I don't see any options for this in the UEFI BIOS.

does the GPU fan come on?

Specs for my MOBO state the following. Shouldn't the integrated graphics be automatically disabled when installing a new card?

MSI MS-7778 (Jasmine)

Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
DVI and VGA ports (Can be used at the same time).
The integrated graphics differ by processor

Yes the GPU is connected correctly and is receiving power.

Only thing I can think of is that I somehow have to change the display adapter from integrated to pci but I don't see any option for it in the uefi firmware settings.

Yeah I'm stumped... Card was used recently and I'm 99% sure it's good... PC Boots up fine, card powers up fan spins, but I can't get an image to display at all, monitor doesn't respond.

This is a very common issue with GPU's usually due to not having the latest bios for the GPU, keep the card in there for a while or i can help you try to get this thing installed with teamviewer

I can't get an image to display at all if the card is plugged into the pci slot, even when plugging my monitor directly into the mobo. I have to completely remove the card for an image to display at all.
