Restart the computer, and I do not know what UEFI is, but the F2 option that said UEFI, I touch f2, and I take the options of the mother, but I do not know what you wanted to say if I have it activated or not? If you could give me a better explanation I would really appreciate it.

What revision of the motherboard do you have?

take the side of case off and take a picture of the White Silk Screen, it should be in the middle of the motherboard between the cpu and northbridge or between the northbridge and first pcie slot.

Being a core i 2000 series it is most likely your motherboards bios is out of date for the gpu.

Ok that shows chipset revision, not info needed. Please re-read my previous message and do that in order to receive proper help. I need the exact motherboard revision you have.

Ok listen up.

There is no guarantee this bios will help as it is from 2012, but flash it please with a working monitor so you can see what is going on.


After that flash please plug the card in and see if you can get your monitor to boot from the r7 video card.

If not please let us know.
I thank you very much for your help, but I just fixed something interesting.

That pci-express 2.0 is also 3.0, but says that for it to work with express 3.0 video cards, I need a third generation i5 or i7

MY I5 is 2500 second generation

No you do not. I have a pcie 3.0 card in a pcie 2.0 motherboard.

Your bios on the motherboard needs a update and it is possible your R7 video card needs a CSM(Legacy) bios to work. Please flash the motherboard bios and let me know if the r7 card now works or not after the motherboard bios is flashed.

Ok ok ok, in a while or tomorrow I notice how everything went, because now I do not have any USB to update the bios, I really thank you for your heart, for trying to help me and ask for pictures of my motherboard. I hope everything works correctly and can play the resident evil 2 remake with low graphics.

The R7 250 is an early card and should be legacy and UEFI capable, the Motherboard having the updated B3 chipset should also not have an issue with that card.
Test the card in another system to test that it still works.

First picture shows the Motherboard supports UEFI GPU's out of the box.

Did you have a previous video card in that system, where all Discrete display drivers removed with DDU?

I have two Radeon R7 240 2GB & 4GB version, both working on motherboard 939. I use these cards "for testing purpose only" as I don't want to plug/unplug my expensive card.

Anyone that do a lots of testing of CPUs only, I strongly recommend these GFX cards if you can find them cheap. One of my cards cost less than 20 USD & it works with the latest AMD drivers.

Advantage: No messing around with extra power cord.
