Desktop HP pavilion 500

I have a HP pavilion desktop computer will turn off randomly and the light flashes when I cut the power or hold the button down it will reboot after but if I wait not long before restarting it used to stay on long. Is this a power supply problem? What can I do to solve it?

Hello jameslwilson88,

Today, computers are designed to try to protect themselves. If the computer processor or other computer device becomes too hot the computer turns off automatically without warning to continue harming himself.

You must consider all the fans to ensure that they are functioning and turn smoothly. There should be no obstruction and such noises that the Cree can indicate a fan goes wrong or failing.

It is a good page on some information about what you do and watch with your computer.

  • CARD READER USB FOR DESKTOP HP PAVILION 500 - C60?

    I have a new 500 - C60 HP Pavilion desktop computer, but the front card reader does not accept the largest flash Compact Flash (CF) card.  I have an old USB multi-card with four different card slots, which accepts the card see  Would this setting work satisfactorly?

    Thank you

    Hello @shamrock838,

    I understand that your desktop HP Pavilion 500 - c60 PC does not support the biggest Compact Flash Memory Card and you are curious as to whether or not you can install an USB multicard Reader which accepts the memory card see First of all, you have reason 7 - in1 media card reader did it installed does not supported CF memory card, but it supports the following cards:

    • Digital safe™ (SD)
    • Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)
    • SDXC
    • Memory Stick
    • Memory Stick Select
    • Memory Stick PRO
    • Memory Stick MagicGate

    I don't see why you can't connect the 4 - in1 USB multicard reader you have. Until the operating system detects and installs, you should be fine.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-223w: upgrading my video card

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion 500-223w with integrated graphics card intel. I want to install a 3d ready geforce graphics card in the pci expansion slot. How can I disable the integrated video card? I went to the bios Setup, but has not seen something on the video card.

    Hello:

    When you add a video card in this model, the integrated graphics card is automatically disabled as it is on most of today's desktop PCs.

    If your PC came with the factory W10, you need to change two other BIOS settings.

    See this guide for what settings change... This applies to every PC comes with Windows 8 or newer installed.

  • 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.

    You should not need a power supply upgrade. But just in case, open your PC and display the information on the label of power such as the amperage supply total wattage and 12v.

  • the desktop pc Pavilion 500-164 to date of Windows 8 for windows 8.1

    My dealer told me that the 500-164 Pavilion had windows 8.1.  This isn't.  Even if the Assistant on HP site says that it has not been tested, has anyone successfully done?

    Hello:

    I do not have your PC but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

    HP provides W8.1 drivers for this model on its support page.

    Before moving to W8.1, I'll make sure to create the W8 recovery media so that if for some reason, something doesn't work well in W8.1, you can restore the operating system and software from the PC to its status of "out of the box.

    And you should do anyway even if you do not upgrade to W8.

    Check out this guide to make your W8 recovery media set.

    Please don't feel not bad not respond sooner.  I'm always notified when one of the sons that I am working on has a new addition.

    I don't know if you have a specific reason to use the Linux distro you chose or if you consider a recommendation.  I used Ubuntu (prn. oo-boon-too) for several years as a dual boot with Windows.  Not only is it a great distribution, but there is a very good Forum.  Not as good as this , but very good.  The members of the Forum are very useful.  You can give it a thought.  I think they would get you to the top and run very fast.

  • Can I downgrade to Windows 7 from Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer Pavilion 500-368na

    As I'm not impressed by Windows 8.1 on my brand new, aged 1 week, Desktop, I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade to Windows 7. My pc would be used mainly as office at home with absolutely no interest in the games. Advice and instructions would be appreciated, although I have been informed that it is a complicated procedure. Is this something that should be done by a pc engineer?

    You are right in your assumption that the guarantee may be cancelled.

    Overview of Windows 9 is expected at the end of the month and we are all eager to see more of what she's on about.  Leak screenshots and which are not pure speculation as Microsoft kept a tight lid on this version.  It's perhaps the last full blown, with what they come out.  It could very well become a subscription service similar to what they are currently doing with Office 365 updated.  Other software companies seem to go the same route.

    As I said in my post, you can save 8 looks like Win 7.  There is a free ebook of Dell, Windows 8 for Dummies, you can download from this site, if you are interested.

    Marc, welcome to the forum.

    Yes, I think that your motherboard should be compatible with the video card.  The card requires UEFI in the motherboard and your mother should have.  Just be aware that the specifications concerning the State of the map that it requires only a power supply (PSU) with 300W power.  Many members have reported that it is rather 400W.  You can try with the current POWER supply, but if this does not work I suggest one made by Corsair.  I recommend at least 500W.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-520qe: network card

    I just bought this product, came loaded with Windows 8.1. Not a big fan of 8.1 so immediately, I reformatted and put Windows 7 on it (unfortunately Yes). Almost everything seems to be working very well, but the final piece of the puzzle that is missing is the driver for the network card.

    I might just put end using a wifi USB/PCI-E adapter, but one that came out the motherboard will not work. It is listed in the device as not installed driver manager. I tried to download and install all the drivers from the HP site for this model and for Windows 7. The Broadcom driver tells me this isn't an operating system, and the Realtek driver does nothing for me.

    Any other suggestions?

    Hello:

    Please view the ID of the hardware for the network controller, so I can understand making.

    To find the ID of the hardware:

    Since there is no driver installed wireless, we need a labeled device network controller in Device Manager in the category other devices.  The network controller device will be a little! mark next to him.

    Thus, to find the network controller device, click on that and then click on the Details tab.
