Desktop Pavilion 500: Disc startup problems

• No HARD disk detected desktop Pavilion 500 PC series

  Hello

  I have a desktop HP Pavilion 500 PC series

  Serial No.:

  Prod #: H5Q30AA #ABA

  Model #: 500-016

  When I start the PC I get the error "No Boot Disk Found".  Sometimes, I get the 'start Recovery', but then the computer system hangs indefinitely.

  How can I order a new HARD drive or recovery discs so that I can burn a new image on an existing (new) HDD?

  I tried to call support, but they wanted $$ just to troubleshoot the problem.

  I'm pretty savy to replace the drive or burn a new computer image.  Can someone tell me how I can order the necessary drive or the discs?

  Thank you

  Jim

  Thank you.

  I was able to order the recovery disks.  It's a shame phone support staff comes to tell me this at the beginning.

  I am considering this case "closed".

  Thank you

• Need help with USB 3.0 on desktop Pavilion 500-214

  I am currently the owner of desktop HP Pavilion 500-214.

  I noticed that the USB 3.0 ports do not seem to work.  Tried with 2 different brands of USB cables now.

  I connect my Samsung S5 with USB 3.0 desktop.  It connects to the 3.0 for a few seconds and then gives the message "cannot connect USB 3.0 devices.

  Does anyone else have this problem?  If so, how to fix?  Or the troubleshooting steps that you might suggest?

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  "So there is no way to use USB 3.0" so it seems.  It is a problem of Samsung and Windows 10 and not HP

  When Samsung found a solution, then it will be OK.

• HP Pavilion 500-314: big problems by adding an external video card

  You are looking for assistance.

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion 500-314.  Specifications are the following:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04293928

  The unit includes the integrated graphics card Radeon R7 and comes with a 300w power supply

  I bought this unit in large part because it states explicitly that "supports PCI Express x 16 graphics cards".  I run a quad-monitor configuration for my work and traditionally did it this using a card ATI over-pants 2450.

  I tried now three different external graphics cards and can get any of them to work:

  First attempt was with a VisionTec Radeon HD 5570 (point #900345).  This card supports quad-monitor configuration and requires a minimum power of 250w.  When I installed the card, the HP Pavilion beeps several times a series of 4 or 5 (can't remember which) emits a beep, but refused to send an image to a video output (either on board or the new card).

  Next attempt was with an EVGA GeForce GT 610.  It's a Setup dual monitor and requires a minimum 300w power supply.  Got the same exact response as with the VisionTec (i.e. the series of beeps... computer would not start all monitors).

  So both of these cards (new), I basically gave up immediately that I couldn't in the BIOS (b/c wouldn't monitors) to see what was going on.  My understanding is that the series of 4-5 beeps usually means that there is a problem of graphics card, or the card that was added doesn't have enough power.  It's frustrating, because the HP Pavilion 500-314 a supposedly a 300w power supply, which is at least equal to the minimum required for each of these cards.

  At this point, I took out the ATI over-pants 2450 my old machine and tried.  This card at least has not caused the series of 4-5 beeps.  Windows has started.  However, once I log in, Windows tries to install the new (card over-pants) repeatedly, only then, the screen flashes and blinks and flashes.  Then I went into the BIOS.  The BIOS indicates that the system recognizes the card, and that the integrated video has been disabled.  However, there is always a signal coming out of the onboard video output (DVI), so it is not in fact actually disabled.  My feeling is that Windows is trying to control two separate video cards (edge + external), which is what causes the problems.  I can turn off the graphics card over-pants w/under Windows (in Safe Mode) and let the card installed, and things work fine.  However, as soon as I try and activate the card, I get endless cycle flashing monitors.

  I spent a few long sessions with HP technical support and they were useless.  They claim that this is not a problem of HP as the embedded video works fine.  I find this extremely frustrating response.  I think it is a matter of HP, because BIOS doesn't seem to be properly disable the onboard video.  Not to mention that the PC can't seem to properly interface with Windows compatible 8 PCI-E cards that claim explicitly require less energy than this unit has.

  I'm usually pretty computer savvy, but have reached my wits end on this one.  I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide.  I tried all kinds of combinations of variables (i.e. enabling integrated video, setting external card at the elementary level, etc.) through the BIOS, but also combinations of w/under Windows, disable integrated video, but nothing is working.

  900345 VisionTek Radeon HD 5570 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16

  Big_Dave,

  Thanks a lot for your quick response.

  The first time that I spoke with HP support, they had me disable secure boot.  Unfortunately my problems (i.e. the cards would not install correctly).  However, after reading the link you provided that I was inspired to try things one last time with a new beginning.  I uninstalled all drivers, removed all cards, re-engaged start-up secured, restarted, close, disabled secure boot, reinstalled the cards and rebooted.  And, this time, the system accepts the card GeForce GT 610.

  Difficult for me to express how grateful I am to you.  I spent two weeks and countless hours trying to get this corrected.  Just I found these forums earlier wish.

• Pavilion 500-189: usefulness of adding additional memory to a computer desktop Pavilion 500-189

  Hi - I think adding memory RAM additional to my desktop HP Pavilion computer model 500-189, bought in February 2014. It runs under Windows 10 home ed., 64 bit with RAM total to 10 GB. The computer has 4 memory slots and currently only 2 are used: slot 1 has a card 2 GB Hynix/Hyundai 1600 MHz and slot 2 has a card 8 GB Kingston 1600 MHz.

  I'm currently pondering adding a single 4 GB DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL11 map of 240 pin unbuffered UDIMM in each of the last two slots to bring the memory total amount up to 18 GB. The total cost would be less than US $40.

  My question: This inexpensive upgrade will not improve the performance of my computer or is - this exaggeration only change?

  Comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Graphene, welcome to the forum.

  Now, we are dealing here with reviews.  The sweet spot for memory seems to be 8 GB with Win 10.  In fact, I read that you will be hard to see a difference between 8 and 16 GB.  I use a laptop of Omen HP with 8 GB memory game.  It manages all the games that I played very well.  As you said, you already have 10 GB of memory and the processor is very fast.

  Yet once, is discussed in the opinion.  In my opinion, the best upgrade that can be done today is an SSD.  My HP Omen loads games and programs incredibly quick and starts in 7 seconds or less.  I used a Samsung EVO 840 500 GB SSD in HP Phoenix Gaming desktop computer.  Again, it was incredibly fast.  Here is the SSDthat are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  I found the research that Samsung SSD seem to work better with HP motherboards and normally don't require changes to the BIOS works properly out of the box.   In addition, Samsung has its own Migration of data and Software Wizard software to fine-tune the SSD after installation.

  This should give you pause.  If you decide to go with an SSD, I'd be happy to tell you how I did the installation.  It has worked well for me.

• HP Pavilion m4-1001TX: startup problems

  Hello! My laptop is a HP Pavilion m4-1001TX. Recently, I updated my Windows laptop, 10 OS. Subsequently, I met problems white screen, which was resolved by resets hard (as suggested by various forums).
  
  A week ago, I met the same problem. However, I tried the suggestions (from hard reset, external LCD screen, BIOS recovery, for re-allocation of places the memory module). Whenever I start it, I can hear the hum of the fan 3 seconds, but then everything is silent. The power button and LED f12 button is down as well.

  Once again, Hello.

  So my laptop will not initialize correctly for about a month and a half, which led me to use my tablet.

  Anyway, it took me a long time before deciding to disassemble my laptop. Because ultimately, I could so he had repaired, I tried to check his parts. Verification of entrails, the fan is full of dust.

  After cleaning, the laptop worked properly. (FINALLY.)

  so for you guys, try troubleshooting step by step made by HP. However, if these things didn't work and your laptop is probably a year or two and you haven't cleaned his fan, you might as try though clean it by compressed air or disassembled.

  Disassembly, check the code of product in your laptop and search for it on HP Media tab. The research would generate some links, one of them showing a manual on how to disassemble the laptop properly. Follow these steps carefully.

  I hope this post helps you on about the start-up problems.

  NOTE: Disassembly for me is my last choice, so DO NOT REMOVE IT unless YOU REALLY NEED TO DO IT.

• Desktop Pavilion 500-210 a: do press F10 to enter the BIOS? I would like to try Linux Mint via USB

  Hi, thanks for reading.

  Am I right in thinking I have to get into the BIOS press F10? To get startup options?

  I would like to try Linux Mint on USB I already created.

  Thank you very much.

  Anthony

  Anthony, welcome to the forum.

  Yes, you start typing F10 as soon as the computer begins to start.  This will take you to the configuration of the BIOS page.  Then, search for the configuration of the boot order.

• HP Pavilion 500-270: keyboard problem

• Desktop Pavilion 500 - 200 t: Asus Geforce 950 compatible for Pavilion 500-200 t

  I just upgraded my memory from 8GB to 16GB and I was wondering if the (long name) Asus GeForce 950 - M - 26 d 5 128 bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP ready graphics card would work on my p/c or HP there an equivalent for it?

  You will have two problems with the video card 1) if it fits in the space provided for the map and 2) you need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The existing PSU is only 300W.  You can check the specifications of the map to determine how much energy is required.  I love Corsair products.  To determine if the card suits you can measure e/s rear plate to the front of the case.  This will allow you to see if other ingredients will be in the path of the map.

• Pavilion 223w 500: upgrade HP Pavilion 500 CPU 223w

  Hello

  I hope someone can give me a definitive answer.

  Product specifications for the desktop Pavilion 500 223w say that the TDP max for the CPU Haswell on 1150 taking is 84 watts. The "enhanced Haswell" Intel Core CPU (aka the devil Canyon) has a TDP of 88 watts. Support of mainboard s Memphis the Haswell will be strengthened of the CPU with a bios update?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The processors listed for your PC see the 84 watts in the specifications as TDP.  The listed processors are usually associated with the socket LGA 1150 H3 since they are all referenced as Haswell.   I don't know why HP has the LGA H2 listed 1150.

  It's HP to release BIOS to support processors of Canyon of the devil for your PC.
