Desktop computer HP Pavilion a475c, Pentium 4 - compatible player for upgrade?

Original hard drive is 160 GB 7200 RPM Ultra DMA; base processor is the Pentium 4 3.20 ghz, mPGA478 (?); current operating system is Windows XP Home SP3.

I plan to add WD 500 GB 7200 RPM EIDE (model #WD50000JBRTL) as a second drive for extra storage with ultimate to intention it adopt record as principal and add a 2nd same drive.  Despite the research so far, or more likely because of my limited knowledge, I cannot yet determine whether this particular drive is compatible with my system.

I discovered that there are very few references to "Ultra DMA" and instead of seeing much "Eide don't."  I'm reasonably sure that a SATA drive would not compatible here.

I would like to be sure before I buy this item, if possible.

Thank you for any assistance.

Kind regards

Pat

Yes, the WD 500 GB at 7200 RPM hard drive RPM EIDE (model #WD50000JBRTL) that you mentioned is compatible with your HP computer.

    I was unable to find the burning software for my new HP Pavilion Desktop PC - 550-166d. May I know that this model does not comes with the burner software? I try to find in the recovery software, but could not.

    So, I download software Cyberlink Power2Go:

    "However a pop-up message: this software cannot be installed on a Hewlett-Packard system".

    No reason?

    Is there any burning software can be installed in my pc?

    Hello:

    I'm surprised that the software did not work.

    See if this version works...

    This package provides CyberLink Power2Go in the supported models running a supported operating system. CyberLink Power2Go is a burning software that allows users to burn data, music or video disks. It offers support for CD, DVD, HD DVD and Blu - ray discs and includes features for disk copy.

    If that doesn't work either, I like this free software... I install the version without open candy.

    The specifications of product software for your model, indicates that it does not come with any software CD/DVD burning.

  • Hi, the desktop computer HP Pavilion p6-2302eam has it built in speaker?

    Buy the machine yesterday & I can get his good via headphones, but for the love of me I am unable to get any sound without them. None of the external speakers have been included in the package and the PC does not recognize my old DELL those.

    I notice in the back on the top of the screen there appears to be a "wind"... This is where the sound should come from where am I go in the sense of having to go out and buy new speakers (as a new printer now I found is not compatible with Windows 8)?

    Thanks for the advice!

    There is no speaker built into the computer. External speakers are necessary for you to hear.

    Thanks for your time

    John, welcome to the forum.

    The video cardback in your case.  It is 6 "x 4,38".  However, the power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is only 300W.  The card requires at least a 400W POWER supply.  This would require an upgrade of the PSU, as well.  In addition, the card has a connector 6 extra pins.  The current PSU will not have the necessary cable for extra power.

    I like to use Newegg to review components.  Normally, they have the best section 'Technical data' for the products they sell.

    Here are requirements for the battlefield 4.  You have reason to believe that a video card is your weakest component.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-342nem: can I upgrade my desktop computer hp pavilion 500 with the graphics card AMD RX 480 replacing edge R7

    I plan to upgrade my hp pavilion 500-342nem, who was already A7 graphical 240 with the new 480 RX.

    Is it possible to upgrade both the power supply and graphics card?

    There will be no problem of compatibility (PSU Corsair CX 500 questioned?.)

    I heard a lot of chatter on hp restricting the upgrade of their pc.

    The new card will work?

    Any help will be apppreciated.

    @Jeffrin98, welcome to the forum.

    I cannot find the specs of the product to the computer.  So, here's what you need to do.  Press Start + R from the view of the office.  This will open a run dialog box.  In the box labeled type msinfo32 opened.  In the page that opens, check the option titled Mode BIOS.  If he says UEFI motherboard is supported by the video card.  If this isn't the case, you will not be able to move forward.

    The next step is to measure the space where the card will be installed to ensure that it fits.  Measure from the back i/o port to the front of the case.  This will allow you to see if other ingredients will limit the installation.

    The CX500 Corsair power supply (PSU) should work.  However, check how much power requires the video card.  It may be better to buy a PSU with 600W.  High power will be used during peak power needs.  In addition, the card may require additional power connectors.  Also, I recommend a modular power supply.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary, create better air circulation.  It is very important with more powerful graphics cards.  The heat can be much larger.

    Vik808, welcome to the forum.

    I did some research to see if I could find Win 7 drivers for your motherboard.  The APU/processor was released in 2015.  It has integrated video chipset.  The only drivers available are to win 10.  Therefore, I don't think that you will be able to upgrade to Windows 7.

    Hello bradoneill, if the system BIOS already takes in charge the 160 GB hard drive, it should support the 500 GB hard drive.

    Windows XP SP3 should support the 500 GB HDD in addition.

    I'll try to use the Sata port without an adapter. I've never used one of these cards, but I read some reviews that speak well of them. Some reported they have caused data errors, but that might have in the early days when these devices first became available.

    If you can and should use the adapter, you can use it on the DVD player if you need to liberate one of the Sata ports. This would almost ensure you no problems with this card, and if there were, it would be on the DVD drive and not the hard drive where the operating system would not be compromised.

    Just some thoughts.

  • An AMD Radeon 6970 graphics card will be compatible with my desktop computer?

    I own a HP Pavilion HPE h8xt series desktop computer.

    -INtel Core i7-2600 processor

    -16 GB of ddr3 RAM memory

    -460W power supply

    From now on, I have an AMD Radeon 6850 in my office, but I want to know that if I buy a 6970, if it will be compatible in my office and if not will work properly. Or if he simply does not work.

    Please answer as soon as possible because I need to know whether or not it is necessary to collect money for her for Christmas!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Make sure that this AMD Sapphire 6970 will adjust.  It is 9.8 "length.  I also checked the length on the Sapphire site.  It's a card double slot.  This map requires a PCI-E power connector 8 pins.

    The Corsair CX600 is sufficient for the video card above.

    You can review the performance comparison between the 6850 and 6970 to this site.  Notice the power for the use of 6970 which means more heat inside your PC.

    I tried to use the tools that Microsoft has nothing helped.

    Some time after, my Norton Security software security suite failed and wouldn't charge.  Norton failed to find a solution.  I guess it must do something with the heavy backlog of unloaded updates.

    Hi there @LROSZKOW,

    I hope you find your experience of positive Support Forum! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you have had problems with the updates of Windows and want to know if you can upgrade to Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Reading the questions you have described in your current system that you cannot upgrade to Windows 10, using the normal method of free upgrade. Your system should have the option available from a previous update of Windows, as the free update is delivered via Windows update. If you have a Windows 7 or 8.1 product key, then you could do a clean install of Windows 10 and use this key to activate your Windows 10 free documents. Of course, you want to first make a backup of your data.

    Another option would be to try to load the original image from the desktop computer, and then try to update again by using Windows Update. This assumes you have a working recovery partition or recovery media. Computers HP - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)  But to protect your data, you want to make a first backup as I mentioned.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.
