I have looked up you computer on HP's web site and it says it came with a NVIDIA graphics adapter. If you have not changed out the video card on this computer then you can find the download for your video card at this URL:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=3239117&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=usHope this helps

Since this computer came with an integrated Graphics you will need to disable it. Plug your monitor into the integrated card and you should have a display. Now reboot the computer, watch for the key sequence at the HP splash screen for the bois settings (probably F10). In the bois there will be a section for you display output. Change it from integrated to PCI. Save the changes made and the computer will reboot. Move your monitor plug to the new video card and it should now function.

Heres a link :http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3239117& Select your OS and download the driver.. Hope it'll help

Hi,
Check SMPS or PSU of your computer.
If its not working then you have to by a new PSU for your Computer.

Thanks for using FixYa.

The Easy answer is yes, you can.
Make sure you've got the clearance and that everything will fit, and that the cables connecting the I/O are long enough to fit. You shouldn't have an issue moving it up a slot!

The video card might be no good on your machine. If the video card is not integrated into the motherboard try removing and re-inserting it, then try to to see if you get a signal.

If the video card is integrated into the motherboard then you will need to purchase (or borrow) a video card, installing it into your computer plugging a monitor to that and try to see if you can get the power to turn on.

Of course first you should make sure that the computer is actually turning on before you spend money on another video card.

Hope this helps
(Graphics card = video card)

Hello,

You may have a faulty video card. Test this card with a know working pc. If your video is embedded on your main board, try using a PCi video card.

Good Luck.

Most likely cause is malware. You can try to remove the malware with a program like malwarebytes. I would probably back up anything important to an external hard drive and then re-install the computer. There should be a restore image on this computer (if it has not been reloaded with a windows disk in the past). When you boot up, on the HP splash screen, look for what function key (I believe it is F11) starts the restore partition. Once you have started the restore partition, do a full factory restore. This will wipe out any issues and restore the computer back to the way it was when you first opened the box. Any new software, updates, hardware, ect will need to be re-installed.
