I got my computer back in 2011, since then I've had nothing but trouble with it. Constant issues after issues
This has got to the point where i need some help.
My computer:
HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070uk (look it up on google and you'll see my computer whole)
I7 2600K 3.4 GHz
16GB RAM (was upgraded from 8gb)
Graphics card (temporary for this to be posted) GT545 that came with the computer whole
I changed the ram to 16gb and the graphics card only, the rest is stock.
I put the new card in, christmas present for myself really. Needed an upgrade. When i install it i hear beeping from my motherboard, well more the power supply. I spoke to some people and they said it passed POST.
After it reboots my computer loads the typical HP blue splash screen where you can press ESC, F12 so on, It just hangs there indefinetely. If i can get past that screen by pressing ESC i get a black screen with some information about my computer,
Chipinfo,
Ram info
and down the bottom right there is and this changes depending on what button i pressed at the splash screen. If i chose Startup Settings it would say "Startup Settings" down the corner. Nothing else loads. After a while of trying different keyboard combinations my cpu makes clicking noises each time i press a key. Then i have to Ctrl, alt, del to reboot and try again.
I tried the same thing with my temporary card (gt545) and the same thing happens, but... when i get to the black screen the text is there and a command box pops up with the settings i want to change, so on. The card seemed to not allow the access to the bios and other commands.
Odd...
So, i used my old card to download drivers, because the cd drivers are always out of date. Nothing changed.
The card is firmly placed into the PCI slot, the 6 piece connector is plugged in, fans are running and the HDMI out to my monitor works fine. My vga doesnt work, but the hdmi does.
Still does the same thing.
Please help me.
Just got the card today.
Really would appreciate it.
Thanks :)
