Why doesn't my 750 ti work in my pc?

[UKickAss]

Hi, today my EVGA 750 ti SC edition arrived and i took it out the box and replaced my old graphics card (gt 545) with it. But, when i booted up my computer, it went to the boot up screen where it shows the hp logo and it stayed there. After that i heard several beeps and after around one minute, i heard three more beeps and my pc shut down. On the box it says that i need a 400w minimum power supply but i have a 460w power supply! Please help!

My pc: HP Pavilion h8-1270ea

I have had this problem with several HP machines. HP doesn't like the 740 or 750's those are our two standard cards for customers and HP machines often won't make it passed that HP boot screen with them plugged in. In general HP and gateway PCI slots suck. Often won't take wifi cards or ethernet cards. We solved this by moving over ATI cards and problem solved.

Why does the first reply in this HP Support Forum thread say that their Radeon R9 290X has exactly the same problem?

That should be enough power for it. What 750 ti do you have?

I have the EVGA 750 ti Super Clocked edition

Does that psu have a pci-e express connector? and if it does is it plugged into the gpu? The evga ftw edition needs one.

My PSU has a 6-pin connector, but the 750 ti SC edition doesn't have a slot for the 6-pin connector.

O okay sorry i was thinking of the ftw version. So you have the small one with one fan correct?

Yes.

Try clearing the cmos i guess i cant think of another reason why it wont work. Are u sure there is no option in the bios for legacy boot?

Yeah. Ok, i'm gonna go and restart the CMOS.

 

[ko888]

Clearing the CMOS won't help you when there is a BIOS incompatibility.

Well yah if thats what it is, i doubt it will work either but it cant hurt to try.

 

[Dunlop0078]

I thnk it is probably just incompatible heres somebody else with the same problem.

Well without much luck it didn't work, But, i noticed something, the graphics card's fan is trying to move but it can't. I guess my motherboard doesn't support this graphics card. What should i do now?

I dont really know i dont think there is a bios update for that mobo you can try to call hp support and see what they say. Other than that i think a new motherboard may be your only option.

Ok thanks! Btw, if i choose a different motherboard, i have to make sure that it is compatible with everything else in my pc (like cpu, cpu fan, power supply, pci-e slots) right? Is there anything else that i need to take into consideration when choosing a different motherboard?

 

[ko888]

Someone else used that BIOS update and it still didn't work. Don't expect any help from HP either.

I have a Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz

just make sure you get a LGA1155 socket mobo and i think it has to be uATX form factor to fit in that case so that doesn't leave a lot of options this would work.

Nvm cpu is in the link. just make sure you get a LGA1155 socket mobo and i think it has to be uATX form factor to fit in that case so that doesn't leave a lot of options this would work.

Does it matter if the chipset is different?

 

[Dunlop0078]

There are better motherboards out there but im not sure if they will fit in your case. So unless you want to buy a new case thats one of the only options for a uATX lga1155 motherboard that i could find.

No. H67 is probably a bit better for you, i think Q67 is for bushiness so its not ideal but its the only thing i can find that will definitely fit in your case.

I guess i'll buy a case that can fit ATX motherboards then.

Yah but thats not uATX do you think it will still fit? I have no experience with uATX form factor.

Ok, thanks! But i'll get a new case and motherboard seeing that my current motherboard is barely compatible with anything

 

[UKickAss]

Thank you for all the replies everyone! Even though we never fixed the problem. We were able to identify the issue and came up with a solution. I'm just gonna get a new case and motherboard and convert all of my components over to there.

Thank You!!!

Did you look at the description of the motherboard? It specifically states Micro ATX. The -M designation in the model number is for Micro ATX.

I am aware the asrock motherboard that you just posted is micro atx. Im saying that the pegatron motherboard in his computer right now is uATX. So do you the that micro atx asrock board will fit?
