• P7-1490 upgrade graphics card and power supply

  I just got a GEFORCE GTX 650TI stimulate the graphics card.  The 300 watt Power Supply on my P7-1490 can't handle it because I need a 6-pin power connector.  The 1490 comes with a 300 Watt power supply.  I need something at least 450 watts.  What upgrade adapts to my box.  Also, the Jasmine motherboard can handle the new graphics card.  It fits into the PCI Express slot.

  Please look at the Corsair CX500, CX600, CX500M, or CX600M power supplies for your needs. Yes, the card of mother Jasmine in your p7-1490 should be able to manage the GTX 650 it. In addition, you need to enable 'Secure Boot' and possibly 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS before installing the GTX 650 it.

• Upgrade graphics card and power supply

  I will apologize for my lack of knowledge, but what are the procedures to follow regarding changing the settings (i.e.BIOS) before unplugging my computer to install the new units; or on startup AFTER installation of the new equipment? I have a long history of building electronic for example, amps, Preamps etc... but another that understand the end mechanical (installation of equipment), I beg near complete ignorance about the computer upgrade. For general information, I install a ZOTAC GeForce GTS250 graphics card and an Antec Earthwatts 650 power supply (the apparent overkill is in a hurry to other possible mods). I will also add extra cooling for all electronic components, it is the killer #1.

  Thank you very much, David... The graphics card is simply an upgrade of a Nvidia GeForce 8500GT card, so I hope no problem!

• Graphics card and power supply units?

  My computer power supply is 300 Watts which is good... Pretty good or too little to run a good graphics card with PrE9.

  My computer specs are...

  Compaq Presario CQ 5305 UK,

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  Pentium dual core CPU E5300 @ 2.60 GHz,

  hard drive 320 GB - Sata,

  4 GB of RAM,

  1 TB external hard drive.

  Thank you very much

  With material AVCHD (or any H.264), a newer, faster Quad-Core or better yet, i7 - 9xx CPU will be really necessary for smooth installation.

  The next step, even if it's not so important with this material, is a 2 x, or 3 x HDD Setup.

  Obviously, the power supply will be important when you add HARD disks. Never sell short PSU in a video editing computer.

  Good luck

• No video after having replaced the graphics card and power supply

  I have a desktop HP Pavilion m9515y PC. The graphics card that came with it (NVidia GeForce 9600 GS, 768 MB) did not suit the minimum specification required by a game that I played. Things in the game has been very slow - I could see a delay of s ~0.5 to move my mouse on the splash screen for the game.

  Today, I bought a new graphics (NVidia Geforce GTX 550Ti, 1 GB) card and a Corsair 700W PSU to replace the 350W one that came with the system.

  From the outset that I messed up something. It's been a while since I opened the box and I thought wrongly that the top panel (with the rubber surface) to come off before the side panel could be deleted. I removed the two screws now the top panel in place and slipped it in the process it disconnect and two thin black wires which I do not know the function. It was attached near the power button and one was attached to the rear of the Panel. The sons have stripped the ends rather than a connector of some sort and I don't know how they connect back or if they are the cause of the problem that I see now.

  In any case, I advanced and removed the old PSU and video card and replace them with the new. Two of them are significantly larger than the components, they replaced, but they managed to adapt with some maneuvers. All cards are well-placed in the PCI slots.

  The power is connected hard disk, DVD drive, the motherboard and the new video card. I'm not aware of any other connections that need to be made to food. There was not much clearance between the power supply and the back of the DVD player, but I was able to get the data and clinging to the DVD of power cables.

  After having done all that, I hooked my monitor DVI cable, plugged in the power cable and turned on the power. When I plug it in, the power button on the top of the tower is illuminated and the power seems to work. However, my monitor indicates that there is no video signal. I tried to put the old return video card, but I don't always have a video signal. Because I can't get a video signal, I can't tell if the PC is start or not.

  Does anyone know the purpose of the wires that were connected to the top of the Tower?

  They would cause they cause this problem if they are not correctly connected?
  Any suggestions for the possible causes of the absence of a signal from a video card?

  I just took the PC to a repair shop and it turns out that the problem was quite simple: I don't have the PCU power cable 4 pins hanging. Everything seems to start fine when we hung out at the shop. Fortunately, the place that I took did not even charge me what as they don't charge co-pays and since it is such a simple fix.

  Now I feel kind of stupid, but I know better next time...

• Possibility to get a new video card and power supply

  Hey everyone just curious if someone could lend a hand with some questions I have.

  I currently have a HP Pavilion Elite

  Model number: HPE-171f

  OS: Windows 7 64-bit

  
  

  Recently, I was looking around in my computer and I realized that I only have a 460w power supply. From the beginning, I knew I had to get a new power supply if I wanted to update my video card.

  But then I realized that there are a few constraints of size with the case. I was curious if one of the most recent as the GTX 670 Nvidia cards or 660 (when it releases) would fit in this case. With a power supply.

  I know it's an older case so with this question, I was wondering if its even possible/chip just to upgrade the card video and PS.

  Thanks for the help

  
  

  Yes, you can update your map graphics and power for something bigger. The CX500, CX600 Corsair are highly recommended, are favorites of the forum and are known to adapt to most cases of HP. With a length of about 9.5 inches, the graphics card GTX 670 can be tight but feasible in your case... measure along the x 16 PCIe slot and look for potential problems.

• HP h8m question. Graphics card and power supply.

  Hi, I am planning to buy a HP h8m series. I just want to know if it is possible to update the graphics card (by default it is an AMD Radeon HD 6450) to an AMD Radeon 6950. For what I searched there are 2 drawbacks. First is the power supply. Default power, the computer has, I think that it's 300W and the graphic card requires 500W. So my first question is, this computer would be able to manage the change of power supply? The second question that I have, I read on the Internet that this graphics card is physically large in size, so, this computer can fit this graphics card? If there is no response, please can you me better graphics card, it can adapt without worrying about food? I think it can be great information to say that I'm looking animation 3D with this computer so I think I need a good graphics card. Thanks in advance.

  Hi Pablo

  Look over thisNVIDIA GTX 57. It has 2 GB of memory, which will help to 3D.  This card is longer and must adapt. You will need a bigger PSU such as recommended by OG.  A Corsair CX600 is a good choice

• HP Pavilion 500-164: the upgrade of the graphics card and power supply on a HP Pavilion 500-164

  I'll be upgrading my HP pavilions integrated HD graphics 8570 D a STRIX ASUS GeForce GTX overclocked 2 GB DDR5 128 - bit DisplayPort HDMI 1 750TI. 4 a/DVI-I graphics card. With that I also improve my diet to a Thermaltake TR2 500W 240 pins power power TR-500. I was wondering if it of ok to do on the computer and will not damage it. It is extra steps when I install these. Initially, I got the PC with windows 8 but have upgraded to windows 10.

  Hello

  If the ASUS 750 TI requires a 6-pin auxiliary power connector and your computer is running a version of HP 8 BIOS then you should be OK.  Open your PC and measure to make sure that graphics card fits.  In addition, open the command RUN and enter: MSINFO32

  Your computer is running a version of HP 8 BIOS?  If so, and if it is possible to install the graphics card then go ahead. Find out what the return policy is before you buy.

  Thanks for posting on the forum.

• Qosmio G10 with the new graphics card and pcb - CD update tools do not work

  Hello world

  I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks, I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 return of aid, because the laptop no longer works. So I get it back with a new graphics card and a new PCB. With my laptop I have a CD called the update tool CD and a sheet of instructions, where it says to start with this tool CD-Rom update after you have installed the Windows with the reovery CD.

  So I did, but when I know the update tool CD to put in and I start with it, the computer installs something, but after a short then it is a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to close Notepad. So I did it, but Windows does not start.

  Why is it so? I had done everything that has been said on the instruction sheet.

  Please help me

  Hello

  It will be interesting to find more information on this CD-Rom tool update. Are there tags Toshiba? Can you please write what is described here?

• Rattling noise - the graphics card or power supply?

  Hey guys,.

  I've had my HP Pavilion Elite m9300t for almost 1 year now. About half of that time, I had to deal with the annoying rattle noise that I attributed to one of the fans in the case. Unfortunately, my PC is equipped with GeForce 9500GS formidable card (with the black cover) and so noise, while annoying, is not surprising. The rattling noise has been stronger and more widespread during initialize and not significantly lower over time.

  But now I have an another problem and I'm not sure if the two are related. Now, the sounds rattling calms down (no noise whatsoever) and in 20-30 seconds, the screen empty... similar to the computer goes into mode 'sleep'. More funny thing is, the PC is set to operate at full capacity and therefore the 'sleep' mode. This problem started occurring 4 weeks ago and happen once a few days ago. Now, I am unable to work for more than 5 minutes after the initial upward boot before the screen turns off.

  I concluded (don't know if I'm right or not, where my post here) I have a power supply issue. The PC came stock with a 350W power supply, but I don't know if my linked overuse of heat damage on the motherboard or the power supply failure. I work with software music production and large audio files 70-80% of the time and the PC stays on for long periods. I am aware that these applications are stressful, but I'm not sure whether or not they can cause the types of symptoms that I described.

  So basically I guess what I'm asking is the following; is my problem, a graphics card or POWER supply number or both? Then based on the advice given, I would also like to know what the next step is to get my PC to 100%.

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  If your PC still work with a white screen, I would check the video card first, especially since you did not get the new & improved version

  Try to isolate the problem step by step, the PSU isn't necessarily the problem as the system is in place.

In any case, I bought about 300.00 worth of new video games and none of them works. they say because of my video card. Then try to buy a new video card and it won't work because I only have a 250 watt power supply. I spoke with a hp technician before you buy a PSU and I was told that my motherboard was only designed to use a 300 watt max power I tried to buy one at best buy and the clerk said 4500 is the smallest they sell. and I need at least a 400 Watt or powerrsupply to make the new video card with a value of buyiong. My questuion is what can I do if I can't buy one more big power supply how can I install a new video casrd? Please help me I'm lost

  Hi chefinomaha,

  Sorry to hear about your frustration. Here's some good news.

  I think you have been misinformed or there was a communication error. Your motherboard should not be limited to the only 300W. I don't know with certainty how high you can go in watts, but you can go higher and should go higher, if you add a video card.

  The important thing is to get the right kind of diet that fits your connectors.

  Here's your motherboard page.

  Here is a document with step-by-step instructions and video for adding a video card.

  Here is a document with the video to replace the power supply.

• Pavilion g6 2230tx: can I update my driver graphic card and RAM

  I had HP g6 2230tx with dedicated 4 GB of ram and raedon graphics card... I want to know if I can update my graphics card with nvidia cards... And if yes what cards are compatible with my camera... And if I can improve my 8 GB RAM...
  I aould want also know is what are the raedon cards and nvidia would be compatible with 8 GB RAM or RAM have nothing to do with the graphics please help...

  Upgrading the video card is a non-starter. The video chip is soldered to the motherboard and not something that can be removed and replaced.

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 47

  For 8 GB, the max you need 2 of them:

  4 GB (PC3 12800, 1600 MHz) 641369-001

  http://www.Amazon.com/HP-641369-001-1600Mhz-PC3-12800-memory/DP/B008L325TW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&QID=1461333553&SR=8-2&keywords=641369-001

  More memory will help the video a bit. Not a lot. You say you have 4 gigs which is not bad, so an upgrade to 8 will do any type of work only a little better and video games a little bit better. Don't expect significant increase in the frequency of images of the games, for example.

• Can I add a new graphics card for the Yoga 12 Thinkpad?

  I recently bought the yoga of thinkpad 2nd gen and I was wondering if I could update the graphics card in it. I have a Nvidia card in my last laptop Lenovo I could possibly switch.

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  There is no way to update the graphics in your machine, because it's a circuit integrated in the chipset CPU package. In addition, the graphics from nVidia in your other laptop Lenovo, while a discrete GPU, are also welded to the system board. Therefore, it is non-removable.

  Hope this helps to clarify.

  Kind regards.
