Installing GT 710. On boot shows "Input signal out of range"

[jdtdallen]

Hello

I'm installing a GPU and when I boot I get:
"Input signal out of Range. Change settings to 1920 x 1080 - 60hz"

If i try to enter BIOS while booting I get a black screen which only shows basic information like proccessor speed and type. Says "Press escape to Startup" but no key inputs are recognized.

If i start normally without pressing any keys I get a Beep, 15 seconds later a Beep, 15 seconds later 3-4 very quick (so fast its hard to distinguish) beeps (Bios flashing failed afaik?).

When i remove the GPU (CPU has integrated graphics card) the computer boots normally.

Specs:
Prebuilt Package Name: HP Pavilion p7-1127c
Processor: Intel Core i3 2120
Motherboard: IPISB-CU (Carmel2) - (pci x16 is ver 2.0)
GPU: MSI GT 710 2GD3 LP - (pci x16 version 2.0)
BIOS: v7.14 08/11/2011

What I've tried:
Booting in Safe Mode:
Lowering Resolution:
Resetting BIOS settings to default
UEFI boot is enabled
DVI and VGA

Questions
Would the processor's integrated GPU have a display driver that needs to be uninstalled first?

I've searched all over and troubleshooted for hours, so any help is appreciated. The GPU was ordered online so returning would be a hassle.

Thank you.

You mention the UEFI bios is enabled, that card is actually based on technology that pre-dates UEFI requirements. So I'd switch to legacy bios mode and try it(ie disable UEFI).

Thanks for the reply

I disabled UEFI in the boot order, saved and confirmed they were disabled. Did not seem to have any effect.

Side note: I would have thought a GPU from 2015-2016 supports UEFI (2007). Odd

Any other ideas?

I read here that it may be a case of bios software not supporting the GT 7** series GPUs.

"You are not alone with woes of trying to upgrade the graphics with that motherboard. It seems the IPISB-CU (Carmel2) motherboard, which is what that model uses, is not compatible with the GeForce 7** series of graphics cards. There are numerous requests over at the HP forums about the same thing as yours. It seems the BIOS version for the motherboard is not compatible with that line of cards. There does not appear to be a version of BIOS that will make them compatible. The GeForce 6** family seems to work, ..."
