Can't pass Bios after installed new GPU
I have a realy bad problem. I had an AMD 260x, but I returned it and bought Nvidia GTX 750 Ti.

I installed it, press power button, then bios cames up. But the problem is, I can't pass it. The screen freezes and I am not able to press anything. Only ctrl+alt+del works and its reboots system.

I have i7 2600k
8 gb ram
500 Watt psu

The solutions I tried:

Keyboards. My motherboard don't have psu2, I've tried 2 different usb keyboards, and I'm sure it's not keyboard issue.

CMOS resetting. I actually not sure what did I do. I've removed battery for couple minutes. Removed jumper, put it otherwise, removed again and put it normally. It doesn't seems like resetted but I'm not sure. It reacts exactwise.

Boot without GPU. I did it. My motherboard have vga, but I think there is no onboard card, because monitor says cable is unplugged, but it's not.

Btw it's pegatron ipxsb-h61, my motherboard.

Please help me. What can I do :/

I know it isn't, just 9 out 10 products of 260x has random black screen error because amd can't hire someone will code just to normal pass from idle to load. 260x faulty product, then I did buy it's nvidia smilar that my budget allows ^^

How to update bios? I realy can't access my computer lol :(

use the old gpu

go to hp site and download the latest bios for the board, save the zipi file, unzip to c:\ or a usb stick
then boot to bios, and update, select your hdd or usb stick for the bin file

I did both. With my oldest card, there is just black screen.

Reseat 750 ti and still freeze on bios screen. Am I doomed? :D

Take your GPU out and see if it will boot up without it, if it doesn't then you know it's not your GPU that's the problem
Your old video card doesn't work either?

Maybe your motherboard got fried by the AMD 260X?

I hope not :(
One thing that you should "always" do before switching graphics cards from AMD to Nvidia (or Nvidia to AMD) is uninstall the drivers "before" removing the old card because those drivers would not be compatible with opposite brand of graphics chip. What type of card is your old video card before using either of these?

What OS (Windows version) did your computer come with or you have installed? Are you using BIOS or UEFI? I heard of someone who said he had trouble with an EVGA GTX 750 Ti that it messed up Windows and did not work with his computer. Maybe the GTX 750 Ti you got assumed UEFI and does not work with legacy BIOS.

I have an older Dell PC (from 2010) that only has BIOS and does not do UEFI. I am using MSI Twin Frozr Gaming GTX 750 Ti which has a little tiny switch that by default was set to hybrid UEFI/BIOS which I did not even try. Since I have old BIOS I put that switch in the other position for legacy BIOS. And it works fine in Win7 or Linux (currently 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04).
