550-142d Pavilion: the change of graphics card BIOS update

Hello

I have a Pavilliion 550 - 142d I want to update to provide a better gaming experience. The map pre-installed in the Pavilion is 730 GT that does not happen at the end of game.

The graphics card, I intend to buy is the GTX950 or GTX 1060.

I did the necessary research on upgrading the graphics card.  But I discovered only recently that I need update the BIOS when changing the GPU.

What are the precautions or steps I have to take in what concerns the updated BIOS to support the new graphics card?

I just finished replacing my PSU 550w successfully today. The only problem I encountered was that I didn't have a slim-SATA to power the built-in DVD player. I intend to get an adapter SATA slim finally.

I will proceed to the graphics card vendor soon, please advise me on the supported BIOS I knew HP has an integrated program to monitor and update a driver accordingly. As such, I worry if the GPU card support is in place. Currently, I don't have any other NVIDIA program installed to update the GPU card.

Thank you.

Hello

Thank you for your concerns.

I raised my BIOS to version A0.13 (Dec 2015) and the latest version is A0.16 (August 2016).

I need to update the BIOS before or after changing the component?

As I predicted to change the GPU, my only question is if I have a correct display of the monitor if I were to run the update after the upgrade. Please notify.

Thank you for your help.

  • freezes on Hp IPISB-CH2 with the new installed graphics card BIOS

    I have the HP Pavilion Elite HPE H8 1010cs. Motherboard is HP IPISB-CH2. I bought the new graphics card GAINWARD Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4 GB with 600W power supply Corsair CX600M. First of all, I tried my new power supply with my old nvidia 550Ti GPU. It worked perfectly. But when I replaced the old card with new GTX 970, bios freezes on the first power on the window. Escape does not work. I'll be back new graphics card, or is there still some hope in this?

    Hello @Tomas83,

    I understand that you are having problems getting your work HP Pavilion HPE h8-1010cs desktop PC with your Gainward GeForce® GTX 970 Phantom 4 GB graphics card. I think that the reason why you're facing this problem is the breaking backward compatibility on the PCIe slots was broken to the around the label Gen 2.1 and you try to put a Gen 3.0 card in a slot of Gen 1.0. In substance, it makes your computer incompatible with the graphics card, that you have chosen to use.  I provide you with an article on the overclock.net site called the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version., where the author explains what I've described and going in how he made the decision. I would advise that you read the article, if you have any questions about the issue you address.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • HP Pavilion HPE H8-1234: Hp screen after the passage of graphics cards

    Hello

    I ordered a new graphics card and the power supply about two weeks ago. When I put the new power supply in the computer, it worked fine, power supply is Corsair 600 watts. This is not the first time that I changed my graphics card and the one I have now is a PNY GeForce GT 610. I'm trying to get is a MSI GeForce GTX 950. I took it to a buddy of mine to see if the problem was with the card and it worked fine on his custom build, but when I try to put in mine all the getting is the HP logo on a blue screen reading "Push ESC for boot menu". When I Press esc, nothing happens. There are two single beeps, one about 30 seconds after you turn on the computer and another minute later, followed by the screen goes black with a underscore on it.

    Any help would be wonderful that I have run out of ideas as to what could be the problem. Thank you for your time.

    VGcrazee, welcome to the forum.

    I think that your new video card is not compatible with the motherboard BIOS.  960 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard rather than a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  I suggest that you check the BIOS version and contact Technical Support PNY for help.  They are the experts on their products.  It is very difficult to know which video cards more recent will work with older computers.

  • Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen.

    Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen, sometimes flashing. It is sometimes difficult to use the screen, especially when it has a dark background. It is a HP Desktop quad core with card Nvidia GEForce 9600.  I tried to roll back the driver, but that didn't help. I assume that the driver I need is no longer available. I also went to Nvidia to try to find a better driver that would eliminate this problem, but no luck.  Before, this came with an update on Vista, & I could correct in the way to roll back the driver. Any help would be appreciated.

    Go to www.nvidia.com and download the WHQL 306,97 drivers updated successfully.

    With the installation of Windows 8, Microsoft provides only the "bare" minimum drivers in order to complete the installation of Windows.

  • What can I do to disable the Intel HD graphics card?

    Hello

    I really need to disable the Intel HD graphics card in the bios of my Pavilion DV7 4085sf and I don't have this option.

    I try bouth versions of germination of the bios for my laptop and nobody have Switchable graphics Mode in bios (the latest version is F29)

    What can I do guys?

    Help, please...

    Not all laptops have this feature available in the BIOS. The notebooks have done. Switchable graphics stand is for the user to control the selection of the GPU by using the Catalyst Control Center options.

    You can actually turn off the graphics card Intel HD by removing the switch automatically the boat and selecting your GPU Radeon HD. Once you have done this, the high-performance GPU will remain selected until you change the settings in Configure with the option switchable graphics.

  • HP Pavilion HPE - 515sc: new graphics card does not start

    @Storuu

    Yes, it works with a motherboard that has UEFI.  However, HP has their motherboards made to their specifications and is not the same as the commercial versions.  It is difficult to find a motherboard that has holes to match the accessory in the case.  In addition, the connectors in the case aren't always the same thing as retail motheboards.

    According to the HP for your PC product page, it did not come with preinstalled Win10, so this implies that you upgraded to Win10, right?

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.

    However, for the MS drivers that don't work well, you might consider using drivers HP Win8 - although there is no guarantee that these drivers will work.  Here is the link to the page of software and drivers HP product for Win8 to your PC: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-e000-Notebook-PC-series/5355006/model/5389901

    If this page does not display Win8x when you open it, then click EDIT and select Windows 8 x using the menu drop down.

    You may need to install the drivers using the compatibility mode: http://www.windows10forums.com/articles/compatibility-mode.7/

  • I have a hp pavilion a6325 and my graphics card is fried what graphics card is compatible

    I have a hp pavilion a6325 and my graphics card is fried what graphics card is compatible? the old card is a nvidea geforce8500gt but these seem difficult to obtain now. If I wanted to update that is not compatible. C.P. specification is as follows.

    Yes, you could install maps better with a more solid food.

    The card I have chosen for you will work with the P/S of 300W to your PC.

    I have never installed a power improved in any of my PC, so I can't be a great help for you there.

    But if you get the right one that matches all connections from your PC, and fits in place of the current one, you, you should not need to buy anything others.

    Hello

    The bad news is that you are not able to change the video card on your ThinkPad, even if you can solder like a machine. The change of position of the structure and chips plus additional cooling system will make your ThinkPad resemble a mutant in any case, his is not technically possible.

  • DM4 Adjust memory used by the Intel HD graphics card?

    I have a Pavilion dm4-1173cl that I updated to 8 GB of RAM.  I use the laptop almost exclusively for software development (MS SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2010, Wireshark, etc...).   I also run virtual machines for customer environments, often including their own instance of SQL Server - this is why I upgraded the memory.

    I noticed that Windows 7 x 64 claiming that the (Intel HD) graphics card uses more 1.5 GB, in addition to the 64 MB dedicated.   Is there a way to limit the amount of video memory, the computer laptop complaints?  I want to top it to 512 MB, leaving the rest for operating system/applications.

    On my Dell laptop, it is possible to set the video memory in the BIOS, but it is so limited on this dm4 I don't see this setting.

    Or, conversely, really matter what she?  Is the memory actually available for OS/Apps, if not currently in use by the storage of 3D texture or some - for example?

    It is not adjustable. 1.5 concerts you see is not actually used. It's just theoretically available. This memory is still available for Windows, unless actually used by a video application. In fact, all this will never actually be used and would exceed never 512 megs using real and the more likely, as 128.

  • Satellite A500-1GL: 2 questions: the fan speed & graphic card driver failures

    Hello

    I have 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with that.

    * The first question - quick fan *.

    I'm on online gamer second life and world of the craft of war) recently my fan speed crank up to 90 percent for about 5/10 minutes before leaving quiet. Then speed up again after a period of time. I'm confused as to why he did this because when I check my cpu temp is only make 40%, and I use a cool buffer table.

    I'm looking for some advise here because all said Toshiba was making sure I had the latest bios update. But I would have thought it is not the processor overheating the fan must not be crank that quickly. My laptop is only 2 months old.

    Can anyone help, should I be worried?

    * Second question - graphics driver *.

    Also on a couple of times I got my screen briefly go black and then recover. A pop up appears saying something along the lines of the core of the graphics card.... Driver recovered. It flashes if fast, that I never see the entire message. Don't you think that something is wrong with the graphics card? (card nividia geforce gt300m)

    I really hope that someone can offer more help that Toshiba has done, as I am a bit unhappy to be problems on a 2 month old laptop.

    Thank you for reading and I look forward to any Advisor.

    The cooling fan is controlled by the fan table in the BIOS. Fan table contains information about the temperature and the fan speed that means the depands on some level temperature fan speed.
    Over all the possible game features as the CPU, GPU, produce heat and the heat dissipation is high
    Cooling modules would begin to turn faster if the temperature level would be exceeded
    This is nothing exceptional everything at stake

    I read on a similar question, and apparently, the graphics card DRIVER crashed during games
    Maybe it's a compatibility problem between game and pilot
    In most cases the graphics card driver update should fix this and I read on some forums that it has helped in many cases
