Addition of new graphics card

Recently, I wana add new graphics from my computer. My PC is Presario CQ3160D. I discovered that my diet is just 180W, so then I can still add a graphics card? I buy ATI 5670.

Hello RJHong,

I took a quick glance to your pc and the ATI 5670 series tends to require a significant energy source (about 400 watts I think).  Here's a form on an ATI 5670 card example:

http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814102902&cm_re=ATI_5670-_-14-102-902-_-product

Any new video card you Pick-up with similar specs to the 5670 more than likely going to need a new power supply.  I recommend that take you measurements in your case for the power supply and your new video card.  I hope this helps.

A last note, make sure that your PCI X 16 slot can support a PCI Express 2.0 card.

  • Do I need a new graphics card

    I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3400f running Windows 7 32 bit.  I have a HP x 2301 monitor.  I need a new graphics card to take advantage of the speed of 3 ms of the monitor?  I can renovate such a card?

    Hello

    Very nice monitor. The HP Slimline s3400f PC has only a power of 160 watts power is a big problem for the addition of a discrete video card that would allow you to use digital instead of analog video video.  You will see an improvement in the quality of the image with the digital video.

    It is possible to replace the power supply and add it to a profile low low-power video card.

    Contact Athena and get a recommendation of the PSU. HP Slimline power of Athena. There are also mini-ATX converter cable.  If you get a 220 watt PSU then the below video cards should work.

  • HP compaq dc5800 sff: install a new graphics card

    Hello

    I bought a 240 r7 radeon graphics card to upgrade my hp dc5800 sff, it is running on the q33 chipset from intel.

    How to install this new graphics card? I want to talk about the installation of the drivers, not the placement in the pc itself.

    I read somewhere that I first need to uninstall the drivers from the chipset, q33 before putting the card in my pc, is it true? If Yes, how should I do it OK?

    If not, can I just put it in the case, plug in my monitor inside and start the pc, then install the drivers from the disk?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is very rare that the removal of the existing video driver is necessary before installing a new video card. Most video card manufacturers do not understand such a suggestion with instructions to install a new video card.

    However, if you still believe that you must work Yes, so that you can go through the program and features Control Panel to remove the video driver only. You can also use Driversweeper to clean up the video driver.  However, before removing the Chuck, make sure you have the original drivers downloaded to your desktop so that you don't have to hunt for him later if necessary.

    The AMD R7 240 does not yet in your PC according to the level of brand, model and vBIOS in the graphics card.  In addition, check power supply required for the 240 R7 which, from what I've read is 400 watts.

  • Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card

    I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.

    System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.

    Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me.  Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:

    1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?

    2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011.  And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?

    In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.

    Hello @Eric_Z,

    I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.

    Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:

    • A PCI Express x 16
    • Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
    • A PCI Express Mini Card x 1

    As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.

    Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.

    I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!

  • Games - Assassin Creed (original) - do I need a new graphics card?

    Information:
    I just bought the original Assassin's Creed game for my new computor (2 months).
    However, the videos feature a shift of the audio-video and the gameplay is very slow.
    After verification of the automatic system of the game, my computor has at least the minimum system requirements to play the game.
    I already put it to the minimum performance parameters in the Options menu, it helped a lot.

    The Question: Do I have a new graphics card or more RAM or both?

    This isn't a bad internal card, but overall, there are better dedicated graphics cards. In addition, some games simply behave better with a dedicated graphics card and receive more support because the players tend to have dedicated ATI and NVidia graphics cards. If you continue to play the latest generation or even current generation games on your computer, I would seriously consider getting a good graphics card...

    In addition, the minimum requirements are just that, minimum. He does not play smoothly at all. Just that it's at least somewhat playable.

  • New graphics card issues.

    Hello everyone. I intend to put in order a new 970 GTX soon but before I do, I have some question if all goes well a kind of knowledgeable people can answer. Right now I use a GTX 750 ti superclocked. This one to be exact.

    Before going I should post my listing so you can help me better.

    I use a Dell Inspiron 3847 desktop computer

    Operating system

    Audio
    Razer Surround Audio Controller

    My first question is, what I intend on getting this new 970 GTX,

    (I hope I write these link correctly, because they look weird in this post ATM heh)

    The problem is that you can see here in this thread,

    The desktop computer Dell Inspiron 3847 isn't that much room for graphics cards. That's why I'm going for the compact size ones. Now in this thread according to the OP, fortunately the big card bought winter sports. Now, the concern that I have with the card I want to order is not the length, but the height.

    I have both the card Op ordered are about 4.38 in height. The card I want to order is 4.80 in height. Even if I know the length it should make sense, so I need to know its not too big. I know this may not seem like a big difference to some, but I'm still very new for PC parts and everything.

    My first experience out of integrated graphics has been a few months when I ordered and installed a new graphics card and power supply. I sure hope I have though because I can barely play dragon age: origins on medium setting without it hanging out outside sometimes, and it's a game older for my card so Idk why she did this. Maybe I did something wrong? I hope not.

    So I hope that maybe someone with the same office or someone who is familiar with the desktop area could tell me if the card could hold, if it's all GOOD (the one that won't break after two weeks) 970 GTX which CAN would be awesome. I know the one that fit the OP in this thread has ordered, but some of the comments say scary things so idk. I'll definitely get a damage protection plan.

    Before my second question I'd like having this one ended. Its simple but it depends on the card I order.

    To all of you who took the time to read all this to try to help me, thank you so much in advance.

    JoeyFlow

    ASUS GTX970 - DCMOC - 4GD5 GeForce GTX 970 4 GB 256 - Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP video card as shown in your link, should keep the Inspiron 3847 MT chassis very well, but you will need to replace the power supply, because this card requires an additional power connector 8 pin EPS and a 500w/600w PSU, instead of the default 300w unit.

    Note: As the card is a unit of double width, you lose using the PCIe x 1 next to the card slot.

    I can also clearly see that disk hard fails or starts the Windows 7 Edition operating system home premium.

    I am running Nvidia GT 630, and back on this card machines works well again.

    It just loks like the new graphics card prevents the hard drive to run.

    All attached cables (power cable 6 pin) and locked firmly into the PCI slot.

    Is it possible that the new card draws so much power that it prevents the hard drive of the race?

    When you press ESC, it seems that the hard drive is registered in the Bios.

    This nvidia gtx 950 is better? It seems to be more the size of the one I have - nvidia GT 630. Link shows specifications.

    I'm not familiar with current PC for sale, regarding upgrades.  Since is considered a new HP, try looking at the list of options on the HP website.  Most higher end PC have the options that you choose before buy you, to customize the generation.  Choose a model with options that match your criteria now and notice the upgrade options - write down them - to avoid confusion later.  OR go with a customized version, but this could mean significant spending.  It is the hand off the coast between prebuilts and personalized.

    The specs do not show the power of your diet, but from what I have seen that it is very probably 300W.  HP is not known for confusing their computers.  You can upgrade the video card, but it will be necessary to upgrade the PSU, probably also.

    While you're there, if you haven't done so already, upgrade to at least 2 GB of memory would help allocate.

    Hello

    I had problems with my laptop. After a start-up time specifications and give a problem with the IALMRNT5 pilot report. The laptop also gives some display problems, after a certain time, then another graphic resolution is displayed.

    Where can I buy the new graphics card?

    Hello

    It s not possible to exchange the VGA card in your system, since the VGA is soldered on the motherboard (the most important thing of your laptop on which all components are on) and if you have a problem with your graphics card then you should contact a local service partner authorized, due to a hardwarecheckup or a repair of your device.

  • Can I put a new graphics card and power supply in my computer.

    Hey all, I have the model P7-1459 and it is good, but I was hoping maybe give him a boost of game. But I was not able to know if she could handle what I want to do. The new graphics card would require a 450W power supply, and I do not know if this model could handle. Anyone know of a way or another? Need help.

    Joshua, you are welcome!

    I'm sorry that I misunderstood your question.  I thought that you wanted to know if the computer would process the card.

    Yes, you can upgrade the power supply (PSU).  I suggest to measure the PSU existing and comparing these measures to the one you choose.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  They will provide quality amateur with a reasonable price.  A good video card requires a clean and stable power supply.  I recommend at least 500W; 550W at 600W would be even better.  This would allow for future updates.  The computer uses only the amount of energy needed to operate the components.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows, 3 beeps and new graphics card will not start

    Hello

    has obtained a HP p6-2105eo, windows 7. At a radeon HD 5670 graphics card that works very well. Bought a Gigabyte GeForce GTX650 2 GB. Can see screen start and seems it does not respond by clicking the Esc key. I hear 3 beeps with a delay of 20 to 30 seconds after each beep. After several minutes (2-3 minutes), the screen goes black with a command prompt flashes at the top of the screen on the left and nothing more.

    Think it might be damaged the card, so went to the store and got me a Gigabyte GeForce GTX660 OC 2 GB instead. The same problem.

    Also updated to the latest version of the available for my motherboard BIOS to: 2012-08-14, Version7.16 Rev A, 2.87 M

    Also already replaced at a 700W PSU, so that it can handle the best graphics cards.

    So, what could the problem with the recent graphics cards in this office?

    After numerous tests, such as reset cmos, bios reset, outside and inside with battery and so on... Nothing solved.

    Re-tested with the old graphics card and started immediately.

    After intensive research on Google, the BIOS is probably still too old to the new graphics card.

    Yesterday, I replaced the motherboard and the problem disappeared. Works fine now with the new card.

    Will use the older motherboard in an old computer instead, it isn't a total waste to replace.

  • My new graphics card

    Hello, I recently bought a new graphics card (EVGA GTX 660 SC 2 GB), it was my first time that I ever changed a computer and I had no idea how much research and time that you had to put in to see if your computer is compatible with the graphics card, you buy, then when he arrived I sent it to a store to get mounted and the man who was normal he said that power is not enough to manage the graphics card, so he tried with better food and still there is no possitive results so I was wondering if you could check my pc and see if a 660 GTX would be compatible with my PC Thank YOU! :

  • Pavilion p6 - 2020t: HP-Pavilion will identify the new graphics card

    Hello

    I got a HP Pavilion for a few years now and never updated my BIOS (not that I know well). I'm trying to install a new graphics (gtx 750ti) card and the computer does not recognize it. It shows the first screen, and then a black screen and a beep, then it crashes. Keyboard does not work, cannot get into the BIOS.

    I tried everythign with current BIOS, boot legacy and ensuring that the Integrated GPU is disabled, and nothing works. I also did research on food, and but it is not terrible, it should work with this graphics card (the fan even spinning).

    According to my research, the current BIOS is simply not recognize, and I need to update. My current version is: FRIEND 7.16, 05/10/2011

    I navagate through the HP website and it said that the automatic update should update the BIOS for Windows 10, and it won't let me download all drivers (although the last BIOS update was 2011). I tried to enter the FRIEND's site and download it from there and it won't even install their drivers, it says that flash is not supported (probably for Windows 10).

    If someone could give me an idea of how can I get a newer version of the BIOS for my motherboard, it would be much appreciated as I'm pretty sure that's the reason why the computer is not recognizing the new graphics card

    The risk is that the video card is one that is for a newer PC with an EFI BIOS. That's why the empty card is not recognized.

    If you use a card equipped with a switch on the virtual card allowing the use in legacy and uefi BIOS it will work with the BIOS of your PC.

    Sapphire makes video cards that have this capability. Take a look at the catalogue. What you need is a PCIE x 16 card video with switchable legacy\uefi BIOS or legacy support, but not only UEFI.

    http://www.sapphiretech.com/catapage_tech.asp?cataid=8 & lang = eng

    You cannot change the type of BIOS that your PC has in the UEFI.  It's a question of his being of a generation of diferent from the PC.

  • No Signal after installing new graphics card

    Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

    We have a 2 years old HP p6540y.  It has an ATI video card integrated. When we recently turned on, we got a message "no signal" on the monitor and then he'd go to sleep.  We tried many things to fix... listed below, in order and are always the same message.  Please advise!

    (1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI.  So we unplugged and rebooted, no change.

    (2) checked monitor and DVI & VGA cables with another computer: they all work.

    (3) installed new graphics card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610.  Still got same message "no signal".

    (4) we plugged/unplugged all the other cards/cords / no matter what we could and cleaned.  Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long...

    (5) after you restart the computer after installation of the graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again.  We released once more, other cards/sheets and again once the monitor and the computer came to life.

    (6) we uninstalled the ATI integrated graphics card.  When we go to display, Advanced Options, he mentions our new NVIDIA as graphic/video card.

    (7) we turned computer off during the night and this morning when we have lit, we once agin got the message "no signal".  We have unplugged/plugged computer several times.  Also tried the trick with cards/plugs by pulling and we have nothing.  No Signal.  After doing this several times (about 10), he is finally working again.

    (8) we changed the sleep settings to: screen saver = never; Standby mode = never.

    (9) we restarted again to get once more no signal message.

    So... what should we do?

    Thank you very much!
