Have you connected the supplementary 6-pin power connector on the card to the appropriate PSU cable?

Buddy, you need to flash your BIOS. Update it to latest version. That will fix the problem IMO.

That motherboard is an oem board and very restricted and wont run uefi gpus. Uefi bios gpus began since 7xx series Geforce. You'll need to see if there are bios updates available for that board. Most likely not. Custom motherboards with legacy bios still support uefi gpus, brands such as Asus, Msi, Asrock and Gigabyte.

Is your PC HP branded? HP used those boards, think Dell might have as well.

I cant find a site directing to Pegatron so if it's a branded PC such as HP or Dell then youll go through their site for firmware bios updates if available.

If ever buying a PC and plan to upgrade parts in future don't buy oem.

My bios is ami 7.11 and yes it is hp
So i will look on the website

 

[Phillip Corcoran]

If it's a factory-built computer you should have told us the PC make and model, not the motherboard model -

 

[boju]

Yeah

Even if there are bios updates, theres no guarantee so fingers crossed.

 

[brandondesmond43]

Yeah sorry this pc is a gift from my gf and she got it from her brother since i didn't have a pc she gave me his the pc is product number is p6 - 2550a hp If that is what your after?

 

[brandondesmond43]

So should i just buy a new motherboard?

 

[boju]

Yes any z77 chipset board will be perfect, either Asus, Asrock, Msi or Gigabyte.

Look into replacing that psu, wouldn't trust Hp's power supplies.

There are plenty psus out there. I linked Seasonic as they're very decent, Corsair if you've heard of them get designs from.
