I have a stock HP z420 with a old ATI HDTV card. After doing some compatibility research I bought a new Geforce 1650 OC. My PSU is 600 watt. I spent about 3 hours trying to get the monitor to run on it. I could get the BIOS screen but the picture would either freeze on the Windows 10 screen or simply put the monitor to sleep before reaching Windows. Thankfully it has 2 PCIe slots. I put the ATI card in its original slot and the new Geforce in the lower one. I booted to windows from the ATI card. I put the new Geforce card in the lower PCI slot. Using the device manager I confirmed the new card was listed and installed Geforce drivers, latest chipset and BIOS drivers. Device manager now recognized the Geforce card and I can plug the monitor into it and essentially get what I should.... The problem is I have to start the PC off of the old card (or I just have the same black screen) then switch the cord back to the working Geforce after it boots to Windows. I cannot take the old card out or even switch their positions on the PCIe's. Is there a way to get it to recognize the new card without the old one? Do I need to change the priority somehow? I've never seen this issue. I attached a pic of my PSU specs if that helps.

HP BIOS whitelist? If it's not that, then maybe some secure boot / UEFI issues.

Try disabling Secure Boot and Fast Boot.

It could also be that only one of the PCI-E x16 (physical) slots supports a 75W card.

That is an old mobo, so probably some compatibility issues. Try and reset the cmos, and start again. Make sure you are using the right cable to the monitor.

Yes, I got the nividia to run by installing the drivers while running video from the old card. I can ditch the ATI card. I just need the geforce to run correctly without it. I will try the BIOS and cmos.

I changed the slot startup priority in BIOS and then it wouldn't start up on either card. I reset the CMOS and it now starts up with the nividia card. Other one's in the trash.
