HP, Dell and others order systems. The spec will call out what it needs and if there is some extra port or such, they take it and don't offer it in the documentation or support it.

Who said this port works?

So how to get support
?

I can't find the make and model so I can only comment about a common thing you find. If some maker documented this model to have 0 PCIE slots and you found one, then you should be able to figure out that it's use is not guaranteed or supported.

Then again you find folk that demand support for such. Go figure.

"3 PCI slots (2 available), 1 PCI-E x16 slot (available)"

If there are extra and they work, count your self lucky!

You write "my motherboard says theres no pcie slot but i see 1"

Later you reveal the model number so I go and get what HP writes about that model. You seem upset about that but I'll try again if you will.

Now that we know there should be a slot and it is supported can you explain what you mean by "my motherboard says theres no pcie slot"?

For example some folk will run software such as "What's in my PC.com" and it won't find stuff. That's not a good test software in my book so let's hear why you think the motherboard is reporting no such slot.

I want to upgrade my video to HD, purchased a decent graphics card and followed the instruction to the letter. computer wont boot, removed card,checked bios no selectable pcie on list, only pci or onboard avalable

Graphics card is diamond hd5450

Ant help you can offer IS appreciated greatly
I also upgraded the power supply for the card

bios does not list pcie in graphics selections only onboard or pci

Reply 11 : my motherboard says theres no pcie slot but i see 1 clearly

Most BIOS's do that. Not much that I can add here. Maybe you wanted a BIOS to change which is the primary display but for most machines onboard is .. onboard and the other selection is the other card no matter if it's PCI, PCIe, AGP or another.

Hope this helps. And no, I see no signs that BIOS writers will ever get this right.

When you find folk that claim Bill Gates supplies them with Windows or has any influence on the Windows products today you have to ask more questions.

Here's one. Who's running the show now?

I wonder if you are willing to discuss issues or were expecting tech support?

These are discussion forums with no paid staff. I've tried to figure out the issue you were seeing but you seem to be upset at the slightest attempt at humor.

What's up with that?
