ahh, more often than not these OEM builds have subpar power supplies that balk when a power-hungry device is added. hp and others design thier systems to work only with that ships built-in to maximize thier profit. by opening the case you have voided your warranty. even if the psu manages it, there could be many other causes of this problem-all related to the way oem computers are designed.

besides updating all the drivers, you can try running the machine with the side panel off, thus exploring the possibility that the card is simply overheating.
