Can I install a 2nd video card on my HP Pavilion a6683w desktop PC to allow me to use 2 monitors?
I want to extend my desktop using 2 monitors. My HP Pavilion a6683w Destop PC has only a port monitor. I'm wanting to run 2 monitors on it and I was wondering if it is possible to install a 2nd video card (the existing one is a NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430).
Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6683w. According to specifications, your computer uses an nVidia GeForce 6150SE integrated graphics card and also supports PCI Express x 16 graphics cards. Integrated graphics card is not available if a graphics card is installed. In addition, specifications, your computer has a 250 watt power supply. Most of the retail graphics cards will require a minimum of a 300 Watt power supply.
From the information above, I think you have two options;
(1) according to your needs, more an adapter USB-to-video, such as EVGA UV + UV39. This adapter is available on Newegg.com, Amazon.com, and as well as many EVGA.com to other places. It is possible that another brand/model will work as well. This solution is good for day trading, spreadsheets, word documents, web browsing, etc.
(2) If you do heavy gaming or graphic treatment, I suggest an upgrade of power supply and graphics card. For more information on this topic, see Guide of Dave_G for a discrete video card selection .

When I disable the 8800gt graphics card in Device Manager vista starts ok?
I tried a clean install of vista. different versions of video drivers and motherboard drivers, nothing works?

There is another weird thing in Device Manager my hardrive and cd\dvd is listed as a scsi disk device? don't know if this is supposed to be like this? they are sata drives.

Solved.
NVIDIA had me try different chipset drivers, they found one that works.

Thanks for the answer and much appreciated help.

Installation of a 2nd video card (AMD) with NVidia card
Since I was two PCIe slots I can add a 2nd video card, but I don't know if it's just a matter of unit design, initiate and adding drivers for Radeon.
I would use the most powerful in the primary, and the goal is to add more monitor (and optionally use the AMD card for mining).
The oldest is the NVidia card, which is already installed.
Y at - it a special procedure to deal with this configuration, or to avoid problems?
I couldn't come up with the right items with search engines, because of the difficulty to guess a string of research to that effect.
I hope someone has some good advice for me, thank you in advance.
What are your specs system - cpu, graphics card and power supply watts and the brand?
-It is not a good idea to use two graphics card marks because there is a high probability of driver conflicts.
-So eager to use two cards in SLI (Nvidia) or Xfire (AMD) you cannot mix two brands, and
to SLI, you have the same model.
-You can run two monitors on a single card, so unless you use three screens for the game there should be
no need for two cards and my understanding is that "mining" has not been profitable for some time.
You need a high-end card and uses a lot of power.
-By adding a second graphics card you must also explain the extra current consumed by
Card and if you use a machine OEM (HP, DELL, etc.) feeding is likely
only powerful enough to the original configuration of the machine, this will be a new power supply
probably be necessary.

Windows blocked key after installing a new video card and hard drive.
I got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition since the early release, purchased through Newegg. Since then, I used it on my desktop, which I update regularly. I changed the hard drives, processors and cards video several times and reactivated without a problem, but this last Friday, I installed a new video card and the DSS, and when I went to activate windows told me that my key was blocked without any explanation. I can only assume that this is because I changed my hardware configuration. My copy of windows remained only on this computer over the years. Here are the results of MGADiag running on my system.
If there is any question about the legitimacy of my copy, I have the DVD, booklet, cases, cardboard sleeve he shipped initially and purchase of invoices from Newegg on the spot.

How can I install the 2nd HDD on my Satellite P200 - 14H
Hello
I want to know, how can I install the 2nd hard disk on my Satellite P200 - 14H and what I have to buy, because when I open the 2nd hdd slot, so I don't see anything about what I could add the 2nd discThanks, Filip
Hello
Maybe you don't see the second HARD drive connectors because the phone does not support the 2nd HARD drive?
Not all laptops even if the 2nd HARD drive Bay is available, support two hard drives.
Laptops come with different hardware and different motherboards, but with the same coverage
So the bays for HARD drives are available, but the motherboard does not support the 2nd HARD drive interface.Welcome them

I have a HP Pavilion m7500y PC running Windows XP. I would like to install a new video card to display on both monitors. Installing a video card is possible with this machine? The card I have has a VGA, HDMI and a DVI input connection. If possible, do I need anything special to install and use this card? Thank you for your help.
I wouldn't worry the food until the video card is selected. Decide if a new power supply is needed. Many new cards high power have a 'special' which will have all the power supplies. According to the map, adapters for power fittings may come with the card. A respected power supply name is Cosair, Antec, or Thermalake, but many are just as reliable at the best prices.

Hello el 24, welcome.
There are a few possibilities as to why you see this message. There is a chance that you do not have your drivers graphics/display installed or configured correctly.
We will need to know the brand and model of your computer to properly route you to the right path.
Once we have this information, we can see if we can provide you a link to the Web site of the manufacturer of your PC to download the driver.
Let us know,
Thank you! -

Install the removed video card speaker
I have a graphic card Radeon 7770 installed in my system which is a former Vista but upgraded to the Op win7 system. The first step in the installation of the graphics card was to remove the video driver (a built-in Nvidia driver). I think this has also removed the audio driver because now the only audio selection is HDMI (6 ports) and the speakers do work not on the audio input jack. I'm worried about the driver installation audio back as it can install a video driver that will conflict with the AMD video driver installed with the new card. I tried to install a new device, but the port or the speakers are not recognized. The speakers are working and power but no output and the system does not recognize that they are there.
There are several possible nVidia drivers and little concern the video card. You have deleted the nForce chip set drivers nVidia, which can contain some sound card drivers. No further details on the number of model for system / motherboard, your only option is to re - install the nVidia drivers.
