Hi I have the system as stated above, which currently has the geforce 7100 onboard graphics card installed right now. I have went through my BIOS, changed my settings to PCI-E graphics, uninstalled my onboard video card and even sweeped the driver on it. Is there any other solutions to why this video card is not working with my system? The problem I am getting is if I try to boot up my system with the GT 240 graphics card plugged into the motherboard is that my monitor, keyboard and mouse do not power up. I upped my power supply to a 400w supply since mine came stock with a 250. The fan on the GT 240 stays running but I do notice when I start up my system with my monitor plugged into my onboard card that I hear a little surging which doesnt happen when I try it without the new graphics card plugged in. Any solutions out there?

Did you disable the onboard gpu when you put the card in?
I know my dad's HP I had to fight a little bit for it to disable the onboard and use the installed 8400 GS. If I'm not mistaken I disabled the onboard gpu and told it to use the PCIe slot for video first and then reboot. Then I had to wait a little bit as it seemed like it was "trying to find the PCIe gpu" if you will.
I would disable the onboard gpu and select the PCIe for the gpu first. Then plug your monitor in to the GT 240 and reboot and wait. Let it sit there a few minutes and see if it doesn't find it after a few minutes. Shouldn't be more than 5 at the very most.
Also worth checking is for a newer bios on HP's site.

sounds to me like a bad video card. Try it in another computer if you can?

It's a hit or miss for me, I once got a 4830 to work on an HP (Asus OEM) motherboard, and when I tried again a few months later, no go.
Yeah I tried it in another computer, and it worked. I think I may upgrade to windows 7 cause if I do that, there is a bios update. But could it be that this graphics card is just too strong cause I hear it surge but then it kind of slows down. The keyboard and monitor turn on with it but still no monitor

there should be 2 monitor connectors (outputs) on the video card. he's asking which one you have the monitor plugged in to.
