Here is the official Nvidia sites:

If you are using Wayland this might work? I don't know.

The link for what worked for me For Gforce 710::

To list a GPU:

lspci | grep -i VGA

I sure was missing the chance to boot into the BIOS during POST.
Wasn't that big a deal until it was.
I am more glad that I already had a GPU & was/am able to utilize it. Getting it out of the box and into a machine.
I can actually see a difference in the speed. Boots up, shuts down and transcodes video files much much faster.

To be clear:

1: I plugged a DP to HDMI dongle into the PC for long time

2: Would not show POST, everything else was fine

3: I inserted the Nvidia card & got the non-free drivers installed.

Now I see the POST & have the chance to enter the BIOS.


This took the better part of the afternoon but I was determined to either make it work or have a concrete plan for the HP.

Thanks for watching. I know that this is a very specific/esoteric subject but I hope it helps just one person.
