Hello guys! Today im planning on buying a new graphics card and a better PSU than i have now but i got a prebuilt HP computer and one of my friends told me that when he tried to change parts in his old HP then the BIOS didnt accept it and he couldnt start. Will this happen to me too?

We don't know, just try it and if it doesn't work send the card back.

Good advice my lord, but the mobos in pre-builts are crap and don't get updates. [usually]

Yeah I know you should still check anyway though, my laptop has had three updates, though then again its not HP
