Hi guys,
This is going to be a long post, but I will try to get as detailed as possible in order to get the best possible help.
I'm fairly new to the forum, but I really need some help here. The other day I bought a new graphics card for my desktop. I deleted the driver for my current graphics card, turned off the computer and installed the new graphics card. When I turn on the computer it shows the blue HP start up screen and then proceeds to a black screen with a vertical white cursor blinking in the upper left corner. Then nothing happens from there.
My computer is an HP Pavillion a6621sc. The motherboard is an MS-7525 (Boston). More specifications on the PC and motherboard here: Product specifications HP Pavilion a6621sc Desktop PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
The graphics card I have bought is an EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD3/V2(LP), more info about the graphics card here: ASUS - Graphics Cards- ASUS EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD3/V2(LP)
I know that my motherboard only has a PCI Express x16 and that the graphics card is made for a PCI Express 2.0, but that should only limit my use of the card, not prohibit it. I have also tried to leave the old driver on the computer and then put the new card in, but with the same result.
Anyone who have an idea what might be my problem?
Cheers,
Kristian
