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

ASRock H77 Pro4-M Motherboard

Pegatron makes your current motherboard and they are also the parent company of ASRock.

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

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?

Form factor: uATX - 24.4 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.4 cm (9.6 inches)

The u in uATX is suppose to be the Greek letter µ - mu. µ is the symbol used in SI (i.e. Système International) to represent the prefix micro-.

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?

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'll just save up money to buy a new case then.

Why do you need a new case?

You dont need a new case the motherboard he suggested will work fine sorry if i caused some confusion.

This case i have is way too small for my liking. I was actually going to get a beefier graphics card but i had no room to, plus this case is pretty bad. It's a nightmare to put the side panel back on and there is no room for cable management. Not to mention that from my experience, the airflow is not too great either.

Well if you just want one to have a better computer than definitely get one. Your right those stock hp cases have almost no airflow and suck if your trying to build a gaming pc.

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?

Don't know, but I know from first hand experience that the R9 270 and 280 (not x versions) work just fine.
