Did you test the power supply with a power supply tester? You may only have partial power or very low power. I would try a power supply from another pc, Then I would check the ram in another pc if possible one stick at a time or if no other machine :
I would try removing all the ram and try one stick at a time in a different slot each time till it boots and then try a different stick the same way. You could have a bad memory stick and or slot.
I think its the power supply first, a bad stick of ram second or a bad ram slot third and the motherboard last. I would try all my parts in another pc first before a buy another motherboard
The bios on the board is toast...you can buy a new bios chip on ebay for like 25 bucks. or replace the board completly
Have the same problem, there is no fix.
Just get a new motherboard. The power supply and the motherboard are **** at best. Bought a new power supply hoping that would fix the problem, still get the memory not there bip.
Good luck
I am still looking for a similar replacement that will not break the bank.
Its the North bridge heatsink. HP did another great job and keeping the north bridge from not over heating and also putting the sata controller right next to it. you would have replace the heatsink with a better one basically, or get a pci sata controller and use a external video card to reduce the heat and boot off of the pci controller

the drivers might not be installed correctly you might have to uninstall the graphics card restart your computer then reinstall the graphics card and its drivers
If your computer came with a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it Click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to display adapters + to expand you might see a yellow question mark ? or exclamation mark ! or a red x right click select reinstall drivers
Or your graphics might not be seated properly or have a dirty socket
