• 500-160 ev Pavilion: can I move windows?

  Hello

  I bought a new ssd and I want my windows on it. Can I transfer my windows hard drive to ssd somehow? or need to format my pc? If Yes, where can I find my windows product key? and what should I backup before format?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello
   
  First: The key is in the BIOS of your machine, please use the following tool to get:

  http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

  When running this tool, it produced a report, scroll to the section of software management. Product key Windows 8 or 8.1 is there.

  Second: the saftest is to clone your existing to new SSD HDD, this will keep everything, including the programs and data files. SSD vendors normally provide software cloning for you or you can try the following free software:

  Third: If you want to format the HARD drive, save all. Who knows, you may need something someday.

  Kind regards.

• Keep a clean, safe and very efficient machine...

  Keeping a clean and safe system is equivalent to good performance. How do you do that? There are several things you should do to ensure the best possibility to keep a clean, safe and very efficient machine:

  (1) install anti-malware software

  • There are a few very good available 'Free' programs that are fully automated and will help keep your system protected against malicious software. Some of them are listed here... .click on the link "Free Security Software links Index", then click on the link "Anti-virus".

  (2) safe online practice

  • "" Safe surfing"you really thinking very little. Using common sense can help here. Avoid unscrupulous websites. The "Web Of Trust" help you identify many of those if you CAN avoid the.

  (3) maintenance

  • Maintain your system by performing a disk cleanup and defragmentation on a regular basis.

  Maintenance requires some planning. Your system accumulates debris on the web. "Debris", in the sense that many of these files are not necessary keep.

  Get rid of this debris is a simple process. Microsoft Windows users will find the free utilities provided by Microsoft, in all "platforms", are very useful in helping users keep their systems. Those who are, disk cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. "You can find these tools by going to.
  All Programs--> Accessories--> System Tools

  .. the are friendly and easy to use. However, I would like to clear up some confusion regarding the utility "Defragmenter". Many users will neglect a defragmentation of the system according to the results of analysis. I would like to address the:
  "You don't need to defragment this volume."
  .. .message referring to analysis of defragmentation.

  You see, when Microsoft wrote that the utility for the Windows platform, there are two targets to consider. Those who are home and business users. Two very large markets, with very different "needs". Effort and the goal was to reach a middle ground by estimating the thresholds which would continue to work well for both customer bases without causing performance issues significant for no more, if one or the other duty live of these thresholds.

  If I explained that well, then you might understand that the 'threshold' Microsoft chose for defragmentation utility will report either customer when fragmentation reached... Let's say it's about 20% (I don't really know WHAT it is, but I don't know it's wide enough) and anything under that will be reported as:
  "You don't need to defragment this volume."

  All this means, really, is that you can delay a defragmentation when an analysis of the analysis returns such a message... but that certainly does not mean that you shouldn't defrag.

  As a general rule, I perform a full system defrag when my file fragmentation is over 3%. For me, it's about twice a week. For you, let's say they occur once a month. I don't know, only you, but you have to keep an eye on her (make ita habit) and see how long it takes to know your fragmentation at this level. It can vary greatly, because it depends on the number of files you create or delete and what type of applications that you run in a "normal" user session

  E-mail, for example, is an application (if native or not) that causes the creation and deletion of files on the hard drive. If you use an online email client, think to "from the browser's cache" with regard to the number of emails downloaded and deleted. These are all files that are fragmented, they are on the hard disk, or make up the garbage in the browser cache, makes no difference... it's all the disk space again regardless of how you think of it.

  Remember, even if you have your browser empty the temporary files when you close the value, the size of this file "dump" can waver, in order to clear the cache at the closing, the browser did perform better than the next browser session but does nothing to appease the disk fragmentation.

  You see, if you do this, the system works well on each of its sessions.

  In summary, install anti-virus software, surf safe practice and maintain your computer. Don't forget to clean the disc first, then perform the defragmentation otherwise you will sort the waste so that the free space fragmented and files.

  Keep in mind these principles and your system will perform well give you years of enjoyable computing.

  Great tips! Thanks for sharing.

• Pavilion 500-160 ev: I've lost my windows key!

  Hey guys,.
  I had an accident with my pc so I changed my motherboard.
  My pc is now turning and saying that the key is already in use. How to find my key?
  Thanks in advance

  It depends on the motherboard that has been used to replace the original.  In the order of things, Windows 8, the license key OEM is integrated in the BIOS, so assuming that the key is trying to activate with this new motherboard, that's why it won't work.  You are then left with a choice, either get a key retail for Windows 8.1 or use a different Windows.  You can load up to 10 Windows and then use it after the liberation.

  Hello

  Problems with getting outside windows safe mode. BlueScreen message don't THREAD EXCEPTION HANDLED (atikmdag.sys) SYSTEM.

  I did, but I don't know what is my next move.

  Can someone help me with my next move so I can't get into safe mode? Or is my only option to do a system restore and lost all my files?

  Its your video driver ATI that is the cause, upgrade the driver to the latest version if you can never get started in windows.

  Look under "Graphics-Drivers" and select "Driver AMD graphics card module" download and install.

• Pavilion c 500-267: HP Pavilion 500-267c 64-bit

  The hard drive on my HP Pavilion 500-267c already (I've only used the computer for 1 year) has a bad block, I am looking for a replacement.

  My questions: 1) what size hard drive I need to purchase?  Not ability, but physical size.    (2) how many bays are available?  I want really to buy 2 drives and install them both inside the tower.

  Thank you.

  The system requires at least a 1 TB hard drive. Example of what is used: SEAGATE 1 TB 7.2 K rpm SATA 3.5 INCH FORM FACTOR LFF BARRACUDA ADVANCED NCQ GRAND III.  Although you didn't want a suggestion about the ability, I always offer a maximum of 2 TB. Something more grand requires special formatting settings.

  Now on adding a drive... you will need to inspect the chassis.  Now, I was unable to determine the configuration of car cage.  This example pageis very generic, it shows both styles (single or multi).

• HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

  So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

  Hello

  After the PC starts to open the window RUN and enter: MSINFO32

  If the BIOS on your PC version is version 8, and then review the information below.

  HP Secure Boot Windows 8 themes Computer does not start after the installation of a video (Windows 8) card  

  A word of warning: the reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC, even if the graphics card works in other PC or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

  Thanks for posting on the forum.

• HP Pavilion DM1: Pavilion DM1 * clean * Win7 install... no COA sticker?

  My wife has an HP Pavilion DM1 is a slug running and I want to do a clean install of Win7 without all the bloatware that is come upon her, but realized that this little book is not a Microsoft COA top sticker to do the reinstall.  HP did ship of this machine without an activation code Win7 on it?  If Yes, is there a way I can get the code to make a * clean * install or should I just use the system recovery disk to go back to the factory?  I have a few old machines COA stickers, but did not burn one if I had to.  Any help/info is appreciated.

  You are the very welcome.

  The recovery disks should be pre-activated and there should be no need to enter a product key.

  But you will need to uninstall the bloatware that will be reinstalled, unless your recovery disks for a reduced recovery.

• Pavilion 500-054: hp pavilion 500-054 problems with the connection to monitor

  I have a 500-054 pavilion and I for a few years now.  Last year he stop to connect to my monitor (HP).  I check inside the tower and believe me there is no graphics in this card.  I see not where are the vga and dvi ports, but I don't have the graphics card.  Why it just stop working all of a sudden?  Is there anyway to fix this without buying a graphics card?  Or if I should buy a that one should I get?

  Thank you

  According to this PAGE SPEC, the PC has integrated graphics, which means that the graphics are part of the motherboard.  If either VGA or DVI ports do not connect on the screen, then maybe the integrated graphics card failed.  I see that the motherboard has a PCIxe slot, so it could be solved with an inexpensive graphics card.  Assuming that the integrated graphics card expectations it, then a discreet card for less than $50 should be easily enough.  HERE IS a PAGEfor this motherboard compatible graphics cards.  Pich an out of AMD or NVidia

• Windows 7 on Pavilion a6500f - Clean install freezes

  I'm doing a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on the Pavilion a6500f.

  I want to install on a newly formatted drive partition.

  Everything goes well until the end, when the installer says it finishes the installation.

  Then the computer hangs / crashes.  No movement on the screen, no response from the mouse, etc.

  I guess this is a problem with the video or audio driver, etc, but don't know how.

  NVIDIA has WIN 7 drivers on their site, but how would I integrate/slipstream them in the installation?

  I just wanted to add: it's the 64 bit version of WINDOWS 7 Pro, final version paid version.

  I noticed that someone else had exact same machine and problem installing using the RC version in June 2009 with no resolution.

  Look here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=win7Beta & message.id = 138 & query.id = 863948 #M138

  Thanks for help.

  Well, the installation problem is solved, but it was a struggle.

  What I did to disable integrated video in F10 Setup and set it to PCI.

  Then I installed an OLD (c 1999) Creative PCI video card that I found in the basement in the PCI slot.

  Windows 7 installation is complete and then I did install all MS Windows updates, including the 2 or 3 elements of pilot which was to monitor Samsung.

  Then removed the PCI card and put configuration CMOS integrated onboard graphics subsystem.

  So far so good, everything is clean in the Device Manager, and the dual boot with XP SP3 works.

  None of this problem stated in the MS. compatibility tool

  Maybe if I had done the upgrade instead of custom there was no video problem (drivers?).

  We'll see what happens as more software is installed.

  Thanks for the tips.

• What is for dust cleaning for MacPro

  My Mac gets really hot when I watch videos. I wonder if it is because there is too much dust in the it. If I went to the apple store to clean, how much will cost me.

  The Apple Store has set fees for operations that use coins. Often, they don't know how to charge you for other things. The way I see it, there are two possible outcomes:

  (1) the solution of type "give a person a fish":

  They could use a can of compressed air and blow the dust out of your Mac and into the air, once and you return.

  (2) the solution of type "teach a person to fish and they eat for life":

  They might recommend that you get a can of compressed air, take your Mac to a place where the dust is a "don't like" (such as the garage, porch) and tell you that you cannot not possibly hurt anything by air jet, it as long as you don't turn the fans really very fast.

• HP Pavilion 500-054: HP Pavilion 500 6 beeps cannot no display

  I have a HP Pavilion 500. I recently went to my BIOS screen and the BIOS did update then my computer shut down. Now every time I turn on my computer, I get 6 beeps and no display. The light stays on and I can hear my fans running, but that's all.

  I didn't change anything in the BIOS before or during this time, I went alone to the screen automatically updated. I have a graphics card in my PC which came with the computer, but this is not a new installation, and has been since I bought (2 years ago.)

  You are not sure if the material breaks and it's a coincidence, or if the BIOS update has messed up my computer?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello:

  In addition to what Erico posted, you had previously installed a video card no HP, correct?

  Because the product for your PC specification indicates that it came with W8, you would have needed to go into the BIOS, disable secure boot and turn on legacy mode so that the video card working.

  Otherwise you would have obtained the alarm beep 6 just after you installed the card.

  Then... I think that what has happened, is the set of update of the BIOS the BIOS of your computer to its default settings (off legacy mode, active secure boot) and now your video card is rejected.

  Recommendation... stop, unplug the PC and remove your add on video card.

  Plug power on your PC and to go into the BIOS, turn on legacy mode and disable secure again boot.

  Shut down the computer, unplug it and reinstall your add on video card.

  See this link for the BIOS settings need to be changed...

• CD-DVD LENS CLEANER: SAFE?

  I'm shopping for a CD-DVD LENS CLEANER clean the laser, but I read conflicting advice about this. Some say it will scratch the goal and speed the dvd turns will do more damage than good.

  Others say it's very good.

  Some say use a disk brushless apparently makes Maxell (or for) but I can't find them on the Web.

  Some suggest that if you feel comfortable to open the dvd player you can get some "Q-tips" and Windex.

  But I need it for my computer not a DVD player. I have a Mac Pro Quad - Core Intel Xeon computer.

  I can't open my computer to do the cleaning? I opened before installing the cartridge memory and others and I clean all that was visible and accessible. But I never paid attention to the laser. I think I saw where it is but seems difficult to access.

  It is not really a great way to clean these, assuming that the problem is just a dirty lens and not a failed or failing laser.

  The problem with the different cleaning methods that you can try without removing the drive pretty much only to remove dust from the lens (and you can't see how it's going) and a small area surrounding. In other words, a lot of dust is still left inside the unit and can cover the goal once again.

  Fortunately, the optical drives are fairly easy to remove the large models of Mac Pro Tower. Remove side cover, grasp the optical drive of aluminum box is mounted in and simply pull it toward you. Turn it so that you can unplug the power/data cable and it came out.

  How bold or you have experience determines whether or not you really want to try to manually clean the drive. But to really clean, undo you the screws that hold the drive in the carrier and remove the cover so that you can carefully blow dust out of the compartment of the entire disk. Then use a cotton swab and a cleaning solution that does not leave a film, like alcohol, peroxide, etc. to friction. Get the wet swab, not wet and gently rub the lens clean. Back up the disk and mount it in the Mac.

• Pavilion 500-516na: HP Pavilion 500-516NA 180w power supply

  Hi, I have a Hp Pavilion 500-516na, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card Radeon x 360 r7 just to give you a little extra boost, but on the specifications for the graphics card it says need a 500w power supply.

  Looking at the specifications of power supply in my machine it says he only 180w?

  It would be really too low to run the entire machine and if so I think I would need food also upgrade?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You good to go.

  You must coordinate the power requirements of the graphic replacement card with the power output on the new power supply (PS).

  Also check the measures of PS existing when buying a new PS

  A final exam is UEFI BIOS vs. You have UEFI. So the new graphics card must support UEFI, or have the ability to switch between each protocol.

  See you soon
