Do you have a dummy plug installed? The iGPU doesn’t always initialize if it doesn’t detect a monitor.

Yes I have a dummy plug in the hdmi and a monitor plugged in to vga as well.
Please do not double post. There’s no reason to have 2 conversations about the same thing in different places.
Sorry wasn’t sure where was best to ask the question. Is odd because I know I had it working previously, prior to 20.04.
Disregard. Resolved it.
What did you do to fix it?
Stopped being an id10t.
Was user error the whole time essentially.
With the HDMI dummy plug, and monitor connected on bootup it wasn’t displaying the login on the vga connected monitor. So I entered command line with Ctrl+ Alt + F1, then had changed it to lightdm graphics mode, from gdm3. This was some how disabling the graphics and then put the login on the vga output. I was able to sign in and access everything.
Re-installed ubuntu 20.04; unplugged HDMI dummy plug and login was on the external monitor correctly and was able to sign in without going to terminal.
Now of course everything is working as expected. Sorry to have wasted your time.
Anyone know if the motherboard is compatible with DDR4-3200mhz? I know it’s faster than what it supports just wondering if it will work because I have it lying around.
Yep, give it a try. It certainly won’t hurt anything.

Hey guys, I just bought an HP-290-p0043w with an i5-9400 for use as a BlueIris NVR. This little thing is crushing it but I have an issue where when ever I boot I got a throttle cap of 0.78Ghz clock speed on all cores. I have downloaded and installed ThrottleStop and used it to change the “BD PROCHOT” options. This seems to have corrected issue, however it doesn’t persist across boot ups. Anyone know how I could make this fix permanent?
What options did you change exactly?
Is the BIOS up to date?
@JDM_WAAAT I only unchecked the BD PROCHOT in throttle stop. The computer was stuck at 0.78GHz when I booted it up the day it was delivered.
I haven’t checked if the bios is up to date. It’s version 843F vF.46, dated 8/3/2021. I’ll try and look at HPs site for a bios update tonight.
The bios is reporting the clock speed as 800MHz so that’s inline with my issue.
What board revision and memory did you use? I have a 843F and tried using some dell memory with samsung modules.
I also have this bios version and board. It’s not available on the HP support site which I find to unusual. Did you end up going back a version?
Am I unlucky or is this a firmware issues?
Bought a 290-p0043w system with 4GB Ram, 500GB HD off ebay
Planned use: pfsense
Either this was unused stock or expertly refurbished, came in original HP box. protective plastic was still on the faceplate, zero dust. No scratches or other damage.
stripped out the HD and optical disk.
installed an extra 8GB dimm. system now has 12GB (yes I know total over kill
installed Optane 32GB 512GB nvme drive. (Yes again total overkill, but stuff is cheap on ebay why get good enough when you can have total overkill for $15 more.)
that all worked fine and as expected.
now the issues:
picked up a Intel 82575EB Dual RJ45 Port 1Gbps Ethernet PCI-E X1
US Intel 82575EB Dual RJ45 Port 1Gbps Ethernet PCI-E X1 Gigabit Server Adapter 653846689078 | eBay
installed it, plugged in network cable my mikrotik cloud switch reports it as 100mbit. Changed cable, same problem changed port, same problem, plugged it into another port that is known good at 1Gbit. Tried both ports on the card.
pfsense does not show the card or ports as available.
second issue
Bought REFURBISHED Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-e x1 Network Card REFURBISHED Dual 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-e x1 Network Card 810154018697 | eBay
this card when plugged into the switch shows up as 10 megabit ports on the switch … pfsense doesn’t detect the card. I didn’t expect to see a full 2.5gbit link. But I did expect 1Gbit link
Am I just unlucky? Or a firmware issue?
MIkrotik css326-24g-2s+R M was just put into use today. Updated to the latest firmware.
Also found and disabled slot security on both slots.
bought a second dual intel gigabit nic, same issue. I think I have spent more in nics than I did on the PC now.
not showing up in device list in pfsense 2.6
anyone else have ideas?
Did you SMbus mask?

Does anyone know if this card would be compatible with the HP 290-p0043w running Windows Server 2019 (version 1809, build 17763)?
I want to buy two of them to connect it to my main PC (also running Windows 10) for a 10 gigabit connection. This is the cable I have:
The card: most likely. Windows is typically used by homelab folks to flash Connectx-3 cards. I have two port 40gbe cards and Windows recognizes them. I’d expect the one you posted to be find also
my first guess on your slow down is perhaps the network port. More specifically perhaps you need to have 2 NIC or more. such that one is dedicated to the downloading traffic and anything external, while the other port/line is dedicated to the internal network delivery. and there maybe a 3rd would help.
Right now on my box I run with truenas SCALE, I have all my external traffic on one port direct to my router/switch. and another internal traffic port (jellyfin, smb shares, etc) goes to another switch port. at least this way it’s not all trying to go down one pipe. I had a 4 port NIC laying around though but a 2 port does the job.
Just a guess other issue might be memory bandwidth limitation.
