Yea i tried connecting it, and the screen turns black. I have completely uninstalled the GMA chipset but didnt make a difference. When i try to install the drivers i get this

My friend kept getting a black screen with his new GPU and it turned out he needed to upgrade his BIOS. I can't find anything about a BIOS upgrade/flash on the HP website though.

Without accomplishing to disable the onboard GPU, no slot card will be recognized; The card is not going to work.

The mainboard has a PCIE slot, so there naturally has to be an option to turn the onboard chip of through the bios that came with it.

He has to find it and turn the intel GPU off.

~+~

However; There is no rule that guarantees that hardware manufacturers deliver hardware that works as the feature set promises out of the Box.

There are a lot of Bios versions for the board floating around, but There is no support to be expected from HP and as I read, hp codes the device info into the BIOS, making the recovery CD for HP useless.

He has a PCI card, not PCIE, which could mean he also put the card in the wrong slot (seems farfetched, but possible, knowing some people).

edit: also, I know he has to disable it, so you can skip that out on the next reply. :o
Perhaps it's not shown if the card is not detected by the BIOS?

Well, I did not recognize that he had a PCI card (blöergh).

The point is that the Mainboard has a PCIE slot and that the BIOS should feature the option to disable the onboard GPU.

I once had a similar problem with a PCI audio card;
My problem was that I wanted to use both the on board card and a PCI soundcard at the same time.
In Windows it is not possible and you have to disable the oboard chip in BIOS. However in Linux it is entirely possible to utilize both cards at the same time (though getting all the recording lines of the plug in card to work correctly took me a day back than).

@OP:
I assume that the new card does not display a BIOS screen in the bootup process.
