I think the graphics card might have been killed off, I changed to a new driver now the computer will not boot up and the screen is dead. beep codes say graphics. any one got any ideas please.
Sounds like a problem known to HP. The beep code with one long and two short beeps is a graphics problem. The graphics are integrated in the main board. Should be a free fix but not everywhere (not here in the UK at least)
