Hi, I see your issue. Your HP 3397 motherboard is designed for AMD CPUs, but you have an Intel i5 3470 inside. Typically, you'd expect an AMD processor there. You checked HP's site but only showed AMD options, and some sources say the 3397 isn't compatible with an i5 3470. Your specs are: CPU i5 3470, GPU 1060, 8GB RAM, 1600 MHz, 320W PSU, and motherboard 3397. Confirm if this setup works or if you need to replace the board.

It appears the motherboard and CPU may have been swapped during a previous upgrade. The specific desktop model is likely listed on the back panel.

Typically accommodates a 3770 unit, with limited options beyond that.

Consider capturing an image of the interior and provide the specific HP model, rather than the motherboard details. It seems like a Compaq Elite 8300 might be involved.
