  I added a video card then I had to re-activate windows - why this

  original title: video card

  Hello Dennis,.

  Too many changes on the hardware and Windows/Microsoft thinks you might be trying to engage in piracy.

  I've not seen this happen just for a video card, then maybe you have changed other materials in the past too?

  Sometimes, happened me on a Windows/Microsoft Update.

  If you are reactivated successfully, should be inconsequential.

• Dimension E510: Power supply, video cards and fans...

  Howdy Dell Community!

  About 2 years ago I bought a Dell Dimension E510 desktop to game and machinima. It has served me pretty well until about a week ago lightning hit a tree outside my window while I tried to shut down my system. The storm came pretty quick and I didn't know that it was there only a rumble of Thunder, so I started to stop, but it was too late: smileysad:. The motherboard was virtually unusable. I took it to a local computer repair shop and the machine lights up and works just fine except for the card NETWORK does not work on the map AND if you did a RAM test that it would fail, but not one stick of RAM could be found with a problem. They ordered a replacement for my Dell motherboard.

  So I was thinking the other day, 'now would be a great time to make updates!". I put a 250 GB Seagate Barracuda HARD drive to replace the old 80 GB Hitachi. I also thought to improve cooling, the power supply and the video card. I have a lot of questions so here Let's go!

  (1) can I replace the fan inside the shrowd of cpu with a spare fan fan, and if so what are the dimensions of the fan?

  (2) can / should I strap in a 80 mm fan / 120 mm at the rear of the case to increase the flow of air from the case?

  (3) I heard that put a spare PSU is FRY your motherboard. I don't want that, but Dell doesn't provide upgrades of power supply (isn't that Nice of them?). A power PC Power & Cooling 500W Dell will work with the motherboard and the case?

  (4) after installing a new power supply, something like an ATI Radeon HD 3870 would work well? (compatibility with the motherboard)

  (5) I read something about being owner or something in this sense (like my e510) Dell systems. What is c?

  Well, that's all for now. I hope that there will can help me!
  Thanks for your time.

• Adding a video card second second opinion of monitor

  I have a HP Pavilion HPE h8 model - 1360t.  It has a Radeon HD 7550 video card.  I would like to add a second monitor and I need a second video card.  It must be a PCI Express x 16.  Can I use an old Series 6000 Radeon card or need a newer series 7000.  I was chatting with a tech support and asked him and he gave me 4 cards of the hd series 7000 I could use.  But I can not find but one of them and I would go less if possible.

  Jim

  If they are monitors Dell 1901fp, they support the VGA and DVI - D. Please check that there is VGA and DVI - D time ports. Your card will work without needing to be replaced. Connect as follows:

  Computer > DVI - D cable > monitor #1

  Technology > cable HDMI-DVI > Monitor #2

• P7-1414, adding a video card

  I would add a PNY NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 610 graphics card to this computer. It requires only a 300W PSU, so I should be good in this regard. I was in the bios but does not know how to disable the onboard video. the system runs Win8 and has 8 G of ram. Any ideas?

  The BIOS automatically disables the embedded video when it detects a properly installed and powered in the PCIe x 16 slot discrete video card. In addition, you will need to ACTIVATE 'Secure Boot' and 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS before the computer will start with a video cardinstalled compatible no UEFI.

  Before installing new video card, make your changes in the BIOS and turn off the computer. Then, install the video card and turn on the computer.

  Please see HP PC desktop - computer does not boot after installing a video (Windows 8) card for more information on the subject.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Adding a video card in a hp pavilion p6620f with a card mother n-alvorix-rs880-formfat (alvorix)

  I want to replace the video edge in this computer with a video card. I want to use a card geforce n210 1 gb ddr3 pci express dvi/hdmi. Anyone know if it will work. It seems that this is what I see so far, but I'm not a computer person. I want to be able to put a tc in my TV and be able to play some of the new games.  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  The graphics card must be a PCIE x 16 compatible (for the expansion on the motherboard slot) one. Geforce n210 will definitely work, because it's a pcie x 16 card compatible USB2.0. You have a desktop computer, then that means that any pcie 2.0 x 16 graphics card might work and it's always on your wallet and the power of the power supply.

• Add video card model HP Pavilion 500-217

  I have a Pavilion model 500-217 with integrated graphics running Windows 8.1.  I am trying to add a graphics (MSI Geoforce GT 730) but the computer is not see it.  Put in the new card into the slot of the PCE (the only one on the motherboard), I do not know of riders or swithces that must be addressed.  Graphs can be upgraded?  And if so, what am I doing wrong?

  Hello:

  Have you changed the 2 BIOS settings must be changed so that you added the video card?

  If this isn't the case, please see the info on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03653200

  If you did (or if you didn't, but then changed the BIOS settings) and the card still does not, unfortunately, I don't know what could be the issue.

• PC does not recognize video card

  I had bought an EVGA Geforce GT610 graphics card and installed in my HP Pavilion 500 - 54 (Windows OS 8.1). When I tried to install the video drivers (latest drivers from EVGA) for the new video card I received a message as the "graphics driver cannot find compatible devices. Also the new map did not appear anywhere in the graphics card or anywhere in the Device Manager. I've disabled the secure boot mode and disabled slot security legacy for the pci slot where the video card. Yet I still can't the PC to recognize the video card (which is compatible with this system). I tried to uninstall the pilots on board, but that did not help. The PC should recognize the video card, when he was put in the x 16 pci slot. Someone has or has had this problem and have you found a solution to the problem. And Yes, I have tried the card in another PC and it works fine. I have exhausted all avenues of solution up to now and still can not solve this problem. Any advice or fixes will be greatly appreciated.

  Only, I solved the problem. It turns out that the instructions on adding a video card failed a defintely detail to include.  As well as strives mode, you need to go into the boot settings and select legacy boot.  I thought that ithat legacy mode automatically would have done, but I shouldn't assume. All is well now. It detected the video card and drivers have been installed. Thanks for the suggestions. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

• Upgrade the video card on PC p7-1421

  I'm looking at adding a video card in my pc.  The problem is all the cards I have watch requires more power or are a card double slot.  On some forums, I looked in there are a lot of warnings while ensuring that a card double slot is compatible not only with the motherboard and the power supply, but also if it can be inserted into the case.  One of the cards below will work with the power I and enters the case?

  I have a PC of p7-1421 with a 300W power supply.

  The cards I look at are:

  MSI AMD Radeon R9 270 2048 MB PCIe 3.0 x 16 dual video card

  R7 MSI 260OC 1 GB PCIe video card 3.0x16

  KnightFall, welcome to the forum.

  All cards except the R9 270 (10,08 ") seem to be good as much as the length and depth of the card.  The R9 also requires an additional power on the power supply cable.  However, MSI does not provide the necessary power to the power supply (PSU).  You must contact them for this information.  I suggest to make a model of the size of the card that you choose to ensure that it fits in the space.

  It is not impossible to find a video card to run with a 300W power supply, but almost.  If you want a good mid-level video card you should definitely consider an upgrade of at least 500W POWER supply; 600W is still better for future updates.

• ThinkCentre m91p 7033 D 54 Add video card

  Hi all!

  I got a plug from the Tower of 7033d 54 m91p and was looking online everywhere to see if I could add a video card to this computer. I know that there are other posts on m91ps in discussing the range of the ati HD6600 series to the 7700 s but I wanted to be safer for the sake of my own computer. If someone has or had a thinkcentre m91p 7033d 54 (since there are several models of the m91p, I suspected that energy consumption is different), please let me know if you have added a video card! or... If anyone is familiar with this model of the m91p, please help me! I realize, because it is a tower compact that I would need a small and discreet video card. Thank you!

  To be clear on terminology, your model is a Small Form Factor, SFF (the tower is a different model).

  7750 is the best graphics card available (a 6670 also works, but has worst heat and lower performance). You will need a low card profile, and measure the length available, as it will be too tight. Get the one with the biggest fan, it will cool better with less noise. The PSU is a custom size and not easy to upgrade.

  I use AMD Catalyst 13.4, it is solid. Monitor system and GPU time during the game, you may need to remove the cover from the pci beside the GPU for ventilation slot.

  Be the latest updates of BIOS, Lenovo and MSFT.

• upgrade the video card for HP TouchSmart 600-1120 or renounce FF XIV

  We just bought the HP TouchSmart Desktop PC 600-1120, and now, we found that we cannot play FFXIV top because he has the wrong video card.  He needs an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 video card.

  Can we change the map?  It will mess up of the touchscreen?

  This model does not support the upgrade of the GPU. The touchsmarts use the Integrated GPU and do not have expansion slots required on the motherboard for adding a video card.

• Please help me with the video card and power supply issues!

  Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I'll try and do a short explanation, but I can't promise anything. I bought an a6620f Pavilion about 2 months ago I didn't know that you had to purchase a special hardware in order to play video games. 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.

• Dell Dimension 2400 desktop w/XP Home Edition: video card Question

  Hello people... last week, I got a desktop pc from a friend who walked away, Dimension 2400 desktop with Windows XP Home Edition. I plan on upgrading it and either sell it or it give. Last night, I ordered a titled graphics card "ATI Radeon 9250 card 256 MB DDR PCI"... which, after purchasing, I discovered via google and other search engines it takes to 220W - 250W power... the power supply installed is 200W... fundamental question is: should I upgrade the PSU? ". Or 200 will do well. Thank you!!!

  Hello

  Welcome to the community

  Have you tested the video card? The computer works fine with the new card? In this configuration, I suggest to upgrade the power supply. You can get 250W or higher power. If the computer is on, you can wait for that stop at random. Let me know if you still need assistance.

  Kind regards

• New HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor for old Dell Dimension 2400. necessary graphics card?

  My in-laws have an old Dell Dimension 2400 and the monitor exploded. I bought a new HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor. My WIRE went to set up, and he tells her that a HMDI graphics card is required.

  This is a pretty old computer. I think he might have as... 512 MB of RAM. Is there an inexpensive graphics card that will meet their needs?

  And besides, when they buy the graphics card, are there all the cables that they must reach a new monitor to an old computer?

  Thank you very much!

  Nice description of Dell:
  Video connector to 15 holes :-)
  
  Seems to be a VGA connector.
  
  From the description of the monitor:
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02643130
  There is an also vga connector, so you will have no problem to connect the two.
  
  No additional card is necessary, no other cable - just use the old vga cable.
  
  Your only problem might be the resolution:
  resolution 1600 x 900 set at the factory for the monitor.
  
  I don't know if you can set the resolution to Dell, you should test.
  
  Otherwise a 4:3 normal/old monitor would be better than this 'big screen' new.

• SR2180NX adding memory and a video card, how?

  I finally decided to do a upgrade to my PC but I pushed my brain batty, trying to figure out how I would add memory and if I should update my video card now cause my Sims 2 game, instead of smooth running, it runs a little rough and frame by frame. Very annoying. I also want the Sims 3 to be able to run on my computer, I hope I can get it all done before they release.
  I have windows vista Home premium, and I have a PC I did not do anything for her, so it's a bit as if it was from the factory around a few programs of vanilla.

I apologize for this post being so long.

  Adding instructions are here. When you buy new memory be sure and go to the website of the manufacturer of the memory. Use only brands so that they ensure th your product compatibility. Use the memory Configurator tools on the website of the manufacturer of the memory. Here are a few major brands for you: Kingston, Crucial, Corsair:

  Change the power supply: This video on youtube is pretty decent for generic power supply switching.

  Thislinkhas information on opening the cover and remove the cover.

  When you select a video card do not get cards great physically (i.e. ATI HD 4870 / 4850) because they are double wide and does not have limited space. Fantastic cards but are not for the pre-built PC.

  Any ATX PSU fits your case. 450 watts or therabouts enough for almost any addition of hardware on your pc. Do yourself a favor and stick the best brands such as Corsair, OCZ and others. Generic brands are not worth the problems they can bring even if they are cheaper.
