HP6300 sff

Malcolm Stewart · December 8, 2020

I have just fitted a GTX 1050ti into my CPIe slot. I have a 240 watt PSU, a 3470 CPU, 2TB hard drive, with 240 ssd. After running F1 2019 for around an hour and 30 minutes, crashed. I thought it would handle it, but I had to revert back to my 710. My question is, is there anything I can reduce, change or setup. To allow me to run the GTX 1050ti card? Help please Malcolm Stewart.

Have you checked temps. It should be fine but that case does not have good ventilation so heat can easily become an issue especially since it only crashed after a pretty decent play session.

I remembered when changing graphic cards over, that it was quite warm inside. The thing is I don't know how to improve the internal ventilation.

I wondered can I, change something is bios, maybe allowing overlooking or bypassing integrated graphics, but I though the computer would do all that itself, as soon as the computer re-started after the card had been fitted.
