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.

  • Do I have to update the graphics card if I upgrade the processor / i3 540 to an i5 760 on a Pavilion p6530

    I am trying to upgrade my CPU on a Pavilion p6530f using windows 7 64 bit. I installed the processor and I get 1 long beep and two short beeps, and the computer does not start. According to the table of code beep on HP web site, it sounds like a problem with the graphics card or the lack of. The graphics are integrated on the processor i3 540 provided with the system, but the new i5 760 processor doesn't have graphics integrated with him so I'm a bit cloudy on what it all means.

    Curious11, welcome to the forum.

    This means that you can buy a discrete videocard (PCI Express x 16).  This will really give you a boost of good performance.  However, I suggest that you upgrade to the power supply (PSU), also.  The current PSU is only 250W.  The latest intermediate level maps require a minimum of 400W.  I normally recommend at least 500W.  This will give you more choices of video cards and future updates.  I like Corsair and OCZ.  You must measure the current PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.

    I like the graphics cards XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  You should stay less than 9 "in length to make sure that it fits in the space provided.  Some members used the cards 9.25 "without problems of measurement reports.  In the link card is a card that works.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  There are many cards that will do well.

    I tried to play Fallout 4 with this, but the game was laggy, and I think that it may have to do with the graphics card

    Any help would be appreciated!

  • The graphics card upgrade issues...

    I recently bought this graphics card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=5660536&sku=A271-5774

    Also, I advanced and bought this power supply: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276573

    I own a HP Pavilion a6414 and this is my first video/graphics card upgrade.  I did a good bit of research and I know that I have the PCI E x 16 appropriate for the card slot and the power SUPPLY 650 Watt PSU to insert in the ATX case. I measure the UAP present btw.  I'm a little worried about the upgrade of the power supply, because I read somewhere (I think it's here on this forum) that some HP tech rep said a person who upgrade the power supply could not be performed on the a6414, but I don't see why not.

    My other concern is about the speed of the processor to the graphics card and possibly voltage problems, but I think the power SUPPLY Ultra PSU will be fine.  Either that it is my first time to play with the graphics card and PSU, I'm looking for advice on the compatibility between these three components, i.e. the model, the card and the power supply.  Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance...

    I installed everything today and it works like a charm.  I had read so much about the HD 5770 not recognized by HPs and the test of the power supply, but everything worked so far.  I bought a LG LED 20 "monitor today as well, and everything looks great.  Thanks for all the advice guys...  The links you provided helped with Dave BIOS, thanks.

    Hello:

    Graphics cards cannot be updated simply.

    You will need to replace the motherboard with another which would have better graphics (if available for your model).

    This would cost as much buying a new laptop, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such a venture.

  • HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

    So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello

    After the PC starts to open the window RUN and enter: MSINFO32

    If the BIOS on your PC version is version 8, and then review the information below.

    A word of warning: the reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC, even if the graphics card works in other PC or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

  • 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.

  • Can I upgrade the graphics card on the HP Pavilion 1b50us g6?

    If it is possible to update the graphics card, which would be recommended to upgrade, I spend most of my time on this laptop computer game and it is a bit slow, I already updated the RAM 8 GB. If it is not possible to update the graphics card, which computer would be recommended for games?

    Hello:

    I don't know much about laptops of games. I just use to read email and surf the web.

    Yours came with a dedicated video card so it was the best you could do at the time.

    You'll definitely want to buy another laptop with separate video and system not shared video memory (UMA).

    I think that there is a way to transfer your own settings from one PC to another, but I've never done that before, so unfortunately, I can't help you there either.

  • Can I upgrade my hp pavilion dm4 beats edition graphics card?

    I want to know if I can update my graphics card as I am an avid player, but the default map is nly the radeon hd6400m

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

    • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
    • Need new card system (can be),
    • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
    • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
    • Cost of the work.
    • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

    I hope this helps.

  • can I upgrade the graphics card on a hp pavilion g7-1261nr?

    Is it possible to update the graphics card on my laptop HP Pavilion G7-1261nr to something more appropriate for the game? I would like to be able to play games such as Diablo III, etc., and my graphics card seems to be the only thing holding me such games running.

    Hello

    Probably we will not be able to update of video cards up to 99% of laptops. There are a few things that make this work very hard or unprofitable:

    Need new motherboard, new cooling system and a few other things. Short answer: sell your current computer and buy a new game machine.

  • I have a Pavilion dv6 laptop and I want to upgrade the graphics card

    I'm the product: HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC

    Product number: QJ912AV #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

    Graphics factory-installed: Radeon HD 6490 m + Intel(r) HD Graphics Family (but I spend the Intel 3000 drivers)

    My graphics were problems since I got my laptop and I didn't realize what a few months after when I did a check on why my graphics running on low FPS. I called customer service and they could not solved the problem, so I started to do the research and updating my drivers for each of them and switching them too. I have finally fixed them and instead to run Minecraft on 22 FPS, I was there at more than 60 FPS.

    Now, this graphics card is good and all, but there are not adapted to the new games (and I've had this laptop 1 year). What don't get me, is why HP installs some old graphics chips in a new laptop. in any case, I want to see what I can put in the new card. I really want to install and Nvidia 650 m, but I don't know because I don't have any information on my motherboard and it is manufactured by HP. Why I want to improve it is because that 1.) This chip sucks and can't play the games of 2005 and more than 2). He cannot run newer games like I'm a player PC of BF3. I get a strong brand of 28 FPS on BF3-ultimate low quality on this game, he reached sometimes 30 but not much. I want this thing to run as good as my game desktop computer that is custom built, so I really want to know what works with this laptop.

    Please help me to know what works so I'll be better satisfied with HP products.

    Read this document. This has been implemented by one of the community experts (erico).

    The answer is usually going to be no upgrade that has been done on the graphics card as this is usually soldered to the motherboard and designed to work with specific chipsets. The fact that this example uses the switchable graphics actually still less likely. I'm sorry.

    PC hardware is changing at a rapid pace, so you get a day probably will be obsolete in a few months if not sooner. I personally ordered a laptop and there was already a new model of the series which has a better processor and graphics card to this topic. Alas, I was outside the return period and could not take advantage of the new model.

    This largely depends on the software used, but cell phones are not usually able to achieve the same performance as a desktop game PC. My laptop performs as well as my office during playback of half-life 2, but there is a big difference when I play Crysis. The experience will depend on how the program is written and how the game engine is optimized. It varies from game to game.

  • HP pavilion e073ed 17: you can replace the graphics card for hp pavilion 17e073ed

    I have a HP pavilion 17e073 ed and I want to replace with a better graphics card. The problem is that I can't find anywhere if I can replace the graphics card. I want to replace it for the best benefits of games. I already bought an SSD and some more RAM.

    Hello:

    There is no graphics removable, replaceable and upgradable 'cards' in your laptop.

    The graphics quite part of the motherboard, and to improve the graphics, you would have to see if there is a motherboard listed in the guide service and maintenance for your laptop that has better graphics.

    Replace the motherboard would be a labor intensive and expensive project.
