I purchased a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 760 for my p7-1245 with a IPISB-CU motherboard. The product specs say that the motherboard supports PCI-E x16 video cards. I also purchased a 725w power supply to accomodate the new video card.
After installing, the computer freezes on the HP splash screen. I can't even get into the setup menus.
After replacing the card with the original AMD Radeon HD 7450 everything worked again.
I have done some research and discovered a lot of similar problems when people try to replace or upgrade the graphics cards in their HP desktops. Recommedations including updating bios, etc. seem to be ineffective for others, with the eventual conclusion being the incompatibility of the board itself with the graphics card.
Perhaps the card I bought requires a newer generation PCI slot and is not backwards compatible?
Is there a list of compatible graphic cards for the IPISB-CU motherboard?
Thanks for any help.
