My graphic card GTX580(HP stock) was broken out of sudden, so I had purchased a new graphic card GTX1060(Strix dc2o6g) and installed it into my PC. But when I start-up my PC it boot until the HP splash screen and stopped can't move any further to the BIOS. And there's a beep sound for around every 33+ seconds.


It seem to be the UEFI problem, while my motherboard was likely support Legacy only? Is there anyway to make it work?


I had used a large amount of money to purchased this HP PC around 7 years ago(2012) and had never upgraded anything inside. Also used up my budget to purchased the graphic card. I don't have any budget to buy a new PC again anymore.

Have you looked for a BIOS update?

Have you cleared CMOS (or whatever reset options that MB has)

Contacting HP would seem the way to go...

BIOS was updated to latest 7.15

No, I haven't clear the CMOS yet. Don't know how to do it.

Had been contacting them they said if I'm out of warranty I have to make a payment for Care Pack, Best2Serve or whatever and then I will receive a quotation from HP.

Maybe disconnect power from board and remove CMOS battery for a while...if you can't find a specific clear CMOS jumper, though there should be one somewhere..

Big advice. Save money for some new platform, CPU-Mobo-RAM.
I forgot when I saw last time such motherboards.

People had problems with newer GPUs on 5-6 years old platforms.
Minimum for hard core gaming now is i5/16GB RAM, Z270/Z390/GTX1060.

I had tried to clear the CMOS. It still can't work.

I had always been saving and used it up on the new graphic card. I needed to use my PC now.
