Dimension 9200 video card and processor upgrade

• Video card (and others) upgrades for a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t

  Hello... First of all, I just want to say that these forums have been an invaluable resource for me in my quest to upgrade my current PC. A lot of good answers and always at the top of the Google search results, you guys have been so super helpful. Without a doubt a very different experience from what I got when I bought my PC from a company that rhymes with 'hell '.

  I have a few specific questions, however, and thought I'd throw them to let experts weigh... For the record, I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t with all parts except for the video card, which is currently an ATI over-pants v4800. I am running three monitors 20 "(1 DVI and Display Port 2 at present, but who can be flexible). Also, I don't a few moderate games (FPS, MMO) and watch a lot of Netflix...

  1. I'm certainly looking to update my video card, but I do not know what actually fits. I'm ready to upgrade the PSU as well (probably to the Corsair CX-600 recommended elsewhere on this forum), so power should not be a problem. And money is not a huge problem either, as long as the card is less than $500 or more. I've been watching some of the newer cards (like a 680 GTX or even the new 770), but I'm afraid that they will not physically fit in the case, or will be not compatible with the motherboard (which seems to be the PCIe 1.0? Or I read wrong?). So basically, my ultimate question is: what is the best possible graphics card given my case current and potentially put to level power supply, motherboard, I could use? If it's important, SLI is feasible but not more.

  2. I also intend to add additional RAM. The page on the card to my PC to the HP support Site says it takes DDR3 1600 PC3 10600, but everything that I find these days in the RAM is DDR 3 1600 PC3 12800. My mother/PC card will support the 12800 or do I have to keep hunting to find 10600 sticks?

  3. and finally, I'll also put in a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. Do you know if the motherboard compatible with the SATA connectors suitable for speeds of 6 GB? Just plug page says "SATA" and does not specify a version.

  Any help you could give me on these questions would be greatly appreciated. This computer has served me well for a few years now, and I'm hoping to keep it for a few more years. Thanks in advance and have a nice day...

  Here are the specifications of plant origin and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t CTO and here are the specs of his card mother IPISB-CH (Cleveland). According to the specifications, the motherboard uses the Chipset Intel H67 Express that supports an extension v2.0 x 16 PCIe and 3Gbs SATAII (SATA2).

  (1) SLI is not "feasible", so no need to go there. GeForce GTX 680 cards are going to be long, perhaps too long. You need to measure the space available at the back of the case more further along the x 16 PCIe slot to determine what can be installed. You will need to resign it a notch or two... until you find one that matches. The CX600 Corsair is a great choice and fits, even if you can buy the place CX600M. The CX600M is modular and allows much better management of the cables and so the potential for a better air circulation.

  (2) with regard to memory, the State of the plug;

  Four DIMM DDR3 240-pin connectors
  Supports the PC3 10600 connectors DIMM DDR3 (1333 MHz)
  Memory non - ECC, unbuffered

  Then, two sets of most of these (2 x 4 GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Kits should do the trick. You can also go to the website Crucial.com and use two of their 'guaranteed compatible memory upgrade'.

  (3) your computer supports speeds SATAII (3Gbs) and this is the best it will do. However, the SATA connector is identical to what is found on a SSD SATAIII and it should be compatible with your computer.

• Upgrading the video card and, potentially, processor HD 5870 Dell XPS 435 t/9000

  So basically I try to update my video card and possibly my processor a little later, to compete with the next gen game. My specs are AMD HD 5870, intel i7 920, 9 GB RAM, with a PSU 475W. I'm currently looking this R9 x 270. He apparently has the same connection to its use and power than my HD 5870 PIN. Will this work with my computer/motherboard? Can someone confirm this for me? Also looking at this 7950. I wouldn't mind switching to a core of 8 CPUS too if my supply of power/mobo will allow it. in any case, here are links to the 2 video cards in that I was watching. http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814150686 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026 much appreciated on any help with suggestions on a CPU/GFX card =)

  Should be good.  I would like to watch one of these four HERE.

• New video card and memory for my laptop (1410-604)

  Hello

  I think of a new video card and an extra memory...
  What possibilities I have to upgrade my laptop (Satellite 1410-604).

  I checked my computer technical description:
  I think I can add an extra 256 MB SDRAM. But what video card?

  Koen

  Hello guys

  It s not possible to update the graphics card. You can't compare the desktop with a laptop PC. The graphics card on the laptop is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.

  On the upgrade memory: you can upgrade the memory maximum. 512 MB (2x256MB). There are 2 slots available and these modules of memory are supported:
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)

• Windows blocked key after installing a new video card and hard drive.

  I got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition since the early release, purchased through Newegg. Since then, I used it on my desktop, which I update regularly. I changed the hard drives, processors and cards video several times and reactivated without a problem, but this last Friday, I installed a new video card and the DSS, and when I went to activate windows told me that my key was blocked without any explanation. I can only assume that this is because I changed my hardware configuration. My copy of windows remained only on this computer over the years. Here are the results of MGADiag running on my system.

  If there is any question about the legitimacy of my copy, I have the DVD, booklet, cases, cardboard sleeve he shipped initially and purchase of invoices from Newegg on the spot.

• 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.

  Here is a document with the video to replace the power supply.

• Age of Empires II - "can't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

  Hello

  I have a problem of Age of Empires 2 running on my new computer. Keeps displaying the following error message: "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. "Someone at - it solutions to this? I have already visited many forums and trying different solutions; None of them helped.

  Tried solutions: change the compatibility and as an administrator, switching to 16-bit color, turn off my graphics card, execution of the extension "nostartup" of the game, looking for old patches from Microsoft (which most are now unavailable due to the game being so old). I KNOW that others have been able to get this game to work on the Windows 7 operating system, but with a few other quirks and I KNOW my video card and driver are more than capable of handling this game. Any suggestions?

  System manufacturer/model number Dell/Studio 540
  Operating system windows 7 home premium 32 bit

  I had the above problem with AOEII:Age of the Kings. My brief spec is Windows 7 Ultimate edition (SP1) and a card nVidia 8600 GT. I did the following (make sure you reboot after each installation):

  Make sure that you are running the latest patch of AOEII:AOK (2. 0 a):

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=35

  Download and install the latest version of DirectX:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=5264

  Download and install the latest nVidia Driver suite. I left the autodetect my card software and reset all my default settings. I also installed the full software suite:

  http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

  Finally, right click on the shortcut of AOE and click Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select the following:

  -Run this program in compatibility mode - choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (!) NOT 3!)
  -Disable visual themes
  -Disable the Composition of the Bureau
  -Run this program as an administrator

  One of the above options maybe work on its own, but that's what I had to do to make it work and I tested it after each step.

  Good luck!

• Problems with the video card and sound card on Toshiba model #PSLCOU - 02701G

  I bought a new laptop in 2009, and it is a Toshiba, model #PSLCOU - 02701G. After about three months the video card and the sound began to spoil. It's what he does, I can go on U-tube or any web site that has a video to watch like CNN news, etc. What it does is it starts to play and the video and the sound is good and he paused for a few seconds and starts again, new breaks and pauses, starts, pauses, starts. He does it all the time, and I was wondering if you all have any idea whats going on? Help? Help?

  It really sucks when you try to watch the news. Also, I put a CD or DVD into the laptop and it works perfectly. I can watch any DVD or listen to a GREAT Cd.

  How is your network connection?  Sometimes, the system needs to create a cache to store the downloaded information and if the download is not pass quickly enough the system will freeze while wiaiting for download to catch up - not a problem with your sound cards and video, but with the speed of Connection on the website or on the network itself (or your network equipment).  This looks like the case if the DVD and the CD's works fine.  Check your internet connection and try to download the video pages to see if the problem is with all the downloads, or only those on a site.  You can contact your ISP and have them help check you connection and settings and the modem for problems or changes, you can do to improve things. Sometimes happens to me as well in the internet connection runs slower than normal and there is nothing that I can do but wait to accelerate - and it's frustrating.

  You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you need you to do all you have time to do, but at least the network card, sound card and video card - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Would like a recommendation on a video card and Psu - Hp Pavilion a6827c

  I'm willing to spend about $ 150-200 on a video card and power supply (if I need it). I could get a few recommendations.  Would appreciate any advice!

  RJ, here is a link to the pages "Product card" for your computer:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=16113&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3942022

  Your power supply unit (PSU) is 300W.  A 400W 600W PSU in would you buy a much better card.

  Here are two links to the PSU that I recommend:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139008

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341001

  I actually had the GXS OCZ 600W.  The Corsair is also highly recommended in the forum.

  Now for a video card.  The location on your motherboard is PCIEX16.  You can use PCIEX6 2.0 as well.  It is backward compatible.  However, you will pay a little more and will not actually benefit from improvements.

  The brands I recommend are XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire, PNY and Diamond, in that order.  I actually have two XFX cards; GeForce 7900GTX 512 MB (do not use) and ATI 4870 XXX 1 GB.

  Here is a link to the Web of Newegg site:

  http://www.Newegg.com/store/subcategory.aspx?subcategory=48&name=desktop-graphics-video-cards

  To the left of the page, there is a list of manufacturers.  By clicking on "More" will extend from the list.  See the section 'Customer reviews' and 'Technical data' to find one that meets your needs.  Then, post the link to the card/s that you like and we'll help you choose a.  It is the best way to learn what you need to know.  Much better that we choose one for you and post the link.

• video card and the black screen problems.

  Hello world! My desk top compaq presario sr1411nx don't seem to support a video card, I've recently tried

  to install. I put the card in one of the three open slots connected to the motherboard, and it seems to fit very well.

  The operating system I have is a Microsoft Windows XP Edition family version 2002 service pack 3, Celeron (R) CPU 2.80 ghz, 248 MB of ram.

  The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1300PCI 256 MB. After I installed the card the following continues to happen.

  I turn the hard drive and follow on. The windows start menu back to the top.

  A message box appears telling me to close all programs. Restart the computer if the installation of the video card

  can be updated and completed.

  I then, restart the computer. After that I'm doing it just a black screen and white pointer popup. As I move the mouse

  There is no beep sounds. Browser menu and start the internet windows does not load upward.

  I then remove the video card and restart the computer and everything works fine.

  Question: What could be the cause, and I can fix it?

  Thank you

  Frogman

  Try to go into the cmos setup in the bios and see if there is any option to disable the onboard video as memory goes against zero or as allowing the pci. If not try to change the graphics card to the other pci slot

• The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

  I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

  My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

  Hi gaz492,

  The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

  Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

  In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

  NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

  There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

  1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
  2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
  3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
  4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

  Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

  Answer please if you have any other questions.

• Dimension E510 video card upgrade

  Hello

  I apologize if this isn't the place to ask this question, because I'm not too familiar with the forums.

  I am currently using a fairly old Dell Dimension E510 system and hoped to upgrade the video card.  I googled under and turned off for a while now, hoping to find an answer today, but most of the results seem to date several years with links to maps is no longer in stock.  Knowing little about video cards, if someone here could offer advice on a replacement that will last me until I have buy a new PC later in the year, I would really appreciate it.

  My system features:

  Size of Windows 7 desktop computer E510
  Processor Pentium IV - 3.0 GHZ
  4 GB of RAM (3.5 usable)
  Power 460 w (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002G1YPHK)
  Radeon X 300/X 550/X 1050 video card (chip Type: Radeon X 600 Pro)

  If he has more information required of it, I'd be happy to try to provide it.  I think that the graphics card uses PCI Express, but to be honest, don't really know how to check if it is 1.0 or 2.0 or 2.1 (or what it really means).

  With respect to a replacement of the video card, I mean really something sharp.  I imagine that the system he could not handle anyway.  I do a lot of games on the PC.  For most of World of Warcraft, which I would like to run a bit more smoothly.  It would be also nice to watch videos 1080 on YouTube without stutter constantly, but I don't know how much this has to do with the graphics card and how much has to do with her being just a really old computer.

  I would like to spend less than $100 to replace, if possible.  As I said, I plan on getting a new machine later in the year, and it's more a stopgap solution until then.  Still, I obviously prefer the best shot for my money.

  I was looking on Amazon, but I don't know if they are to be considered:
  -http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-nVidia-GeForce-PCI-Express-01G-P3-N988-TR/dp/B0032W602A
  -http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Mini-HDMI-Graphics-01G-P3-1526-KR/dp/B00549HZ7S
  -http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-100292DDR3L/dp/B004N3BH0C

  The last seems to his price is great, but I know there are problems of compatibility with PCIE 2.1 and do not know if that would come with my system.

  Thank you all for reading and for advice, suggestions or any help that you can offer.

  I would forget the last one (HD 5450).  Very low end and not much better considered as the new HD integrated graphics on computers today.  Also, forget the old 9800 GT.  It is not at all sharp.  Version 2.1 is compatible on motherboards 1.0, which is probably what you have.  If you play WOW, I would not go with the GT 520 either because it is very low end for any type of games.  I would watch the HD 6670 if you want something reasonable in cost and will perform well enough for WOW.  Your old Pentium 4 is just holding you back, however.  Here's a couple to watch and I don't think you need to spend more than one.

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Possibility to upgrade the video card or processor?

  Hello

  I wonder if I can improve my laptop so I can run some games (better). I'm sorry if this has been asked before for this model. Here is my card:

  Productnaam:HP PC portable Pavilion 15
  Productnummer:J8D20EA #ABH
  Totaal geheugen:6.00 GB
  APU A8-6410 Processornaam:AMD with AMD Radeon R5 graphics card

  Thank you very much.

  The model number is 15-p053nd. There is unfortunately no way to upgrade. On this model the processor and the video are soldered on the motherboard so that the only way to update something would be to replace the motherboard. A motherboard replacement with a processor and upper specification video card will cost as much as the computer laptop everything worth it and would still need to be installed. Also, you already have a system that is so he has very much put at level square, near the top anyway.
