  H8 1414 HP envy. Need more power supply to run a better graphics card. I don't have that power 300 watt need more someone knows a number of room and the place to get one that fits? I know that windows 8 makes it difficult, I am ready to install windows seven anyway.

  Nick, welcome to the forum.

  You can use any standard ATX power supply unit (PSU).  I always recommend measuring the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose, however.  I love Corsair products.  Also, I recommend at least 500W; 600W is even better for future updates.

• T410s Ultrabay problem - hard drive requires more power

  I'm working on upgrading a T410s to give it as a gift to my girlfriend. I've already upgraded the ram and had to replace the screen and both went very well.

  Now, I'm working on adding a second hard drive with the ultrabay. I'll keep the original SSD as my boot drive and you want to use the ultrabay for a normal HARD drive to increase the total space for her. It is a graphic design / photography major space would be nice.

  I bought a 3rd party caddy and a WD Black 750 g 7200 RPM drive through Amazon. I followed the advice that I heard somewhere that you need to make a shortcut of the old EVD to access the new hard disk drive. When I installed the ultrabay and booted up, the computer could not access E:. Nothing happened.

  I heard somewhere else ultrabay housing could use only 5 units of power (I don't know if it was watts or volts) and therefore the WD black drive series, I got is likely to need more power to operate (9-12 units). This noise to anyone who has installed a ultrabay correct? Maybe at the time where the T410s first came out, most hard drives use more than 5 units?

  Any recommendations? Thank you!

  I don't know what are the units of power, and I never heard of the the ultrabay on a T410s not giving a hard drive of all the power he needs. I must admit that I am very skeptical about the claim that you read.

  Perhaps the drive has not been initialized because it's new? If you are on Windows 7, click the Start button and type "create and format" in the search bar. You should see the drive it so that it can be initialized. Another way to get there is by going to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management.

• HP Elitebook 8460p: is my power supply dead/dying?

  OK, so for Christmas, I got a HP Elitebook 8460p. Everything was fine, except that on the 3rd day, something terrible happened.

  Day 1 (Christmas): the laptop set up, new installation of Windows 7. Minor only freezes occor all seconds for half a second about. "Upgrade Bay" does not work, made just 2 short grinding noises when closed after opening

  .

  day 2: even freezes. That night, I run a disk check before going to bed. (Don't ask me what are the results, because I fell asleep during the test)

  Day 3: incredibly slow Windows now. Starting about 15 minutes, and answers may last from 1 to 5 minutes, never even.

  Symptoms: my HARD drive light is constantly on, however I ran many tests my self and even the player was tested for possible errors and he spent everything. Running Windows from a disk external DRIVE is fine and going at normal speed (for an external that is). When I push the switch down to close the laptop, there is a sharp wail (only half a second). My internal battery cool and is holder of a load at normal speed, only when the internal HARD disk needs accesed for anything on any platform, it's very very slow.

  What I tried:

  Defrag: Windows disk shows the fragmentation of 27%, however any attempt not to defragment that lead to progress stuck at 0% defragmented.

  SeaTools: Spent Seatools smart test.

  Reseting BIOS: BIOS reset by using the option in the BIOS.

  Store testing: took the laptop computer to the store and paid $20 for them to test, it passed all tests.

  Auditor of Windows errors: found mistakes (I've marked recovery of bad sectors and fix file system errors) and fixed (I have this on the external HARD drive that was running windows 7).

  If this is not the power supply, I have no idea of what is more. Assistance to access the drive HARD internal from the external windows copy is still slow, so there is nothing to do with the problems of corruption or OS driver I know. If you need more technical info let me know. I really don't care about the short freezes more, I just want to be able to use my new laptop if anyone can help me identify the problem I love them. I'm just suspecious of the PSU now because of her crying when being cut.

  Well, after reciving absolutely no help on this subject, I finally concluded that my HARD drive is indeed bad. I took it on my laptop, it was hooked up to my office, it's still slow respondent (although a little faster) and the HARD drive is also still on. The only reason why I come back to this post is someone else do it who is having these symptoms:

  -HARD disk always turn on.

  -HARD drive passes all the tests.

  -Great answer/access times (for me, it would take an hour or more just to get windows 7 booted up and logged).

  -No real lag, just windows waiting on the HARD drive.

  -Crazy waiting for HARD disk defragmentation time (Mine was going to take a week + and there by about 33% fragmentation)

  -Small amounts of offset or "stutters / hiccups" than occor all few seconds (about once every 3-4 seconds for me) (this applies only if the HARD drive worked before).

  -A small, short, high-pitched shrill when the computer is forcibly stops using the power button.

  My HARD drive exposes all of these symptoms. If your HARD drive is having these same questions, sorry to say, but you'll probably have to get a new HARD drive or get an SSD. The good news is that HARD drive prices have fallen since SSD majorly became public.

  I do not see the real differences when checking the plug:

  Is it possible to use the power of 90w using the "230w" dock?

  Why is there a difference in power between 2 platforms?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  230w power must allow the docking of a mobile workstation, these laptops are over powered and therefore need a power supply the higher power.

  230w docking station is required to manage this more load, although physically, it's the same as the 90w, it includes elements that are evaluated for the 230w.

  He is briefly mentioned in the specs of th

  «The HP 90 w Docking Station gives you a Smart adapter 90W high energy performance for your notebook PC.» HP 230W Docking Station gives you a Smart adapter 230W-saving in energy for your PC laptop or Mobile Workstation. These Smart adapters guard against fluctuations in power supply with built-in surge protection.

• I have a MacBook Pro, beginning 2011, just upgraded to 8 Ram and have the storage capacity of 500 GB.  I need more storage for photos.  How much more can my grip of Mac, and it makes sense to add a computer that old?

  I'm trying to decided if I should try to add more storage to my lap top existing, or buy a new one with more memory.  I am a Photogaphy and need a lot of storage.  I have a MacBook Pro, in early 2011, just upgraded to 8 GB of Ram so I could upgrade to OSX E Capitan and add new software. I have 500 GB storage now and need a lot more. Would love 2 TB or more.

  What is the maximum I can add to my laptop? And does make sense to do?

  On the largest practical size warehouse readers coming always internally are about 1, 000 GB.

  To go more than you would have to decide if the portability was an important issue, because additional disks should probably be external. The Mac can support dozens of external hard drives. If you do not carry them, 'office' readers are faster and can be found in larger sizes. Their PIN 12-volt Motors require a lot more power that can be provided using Bus power, while they use their own power supplies.

• Windows 7 need more RAM for games that xp

  Why some games need more RAN for windows 7, for example:

  arkham asylum Batman needs 1 GB of RAM for windows xp and 2 GB for windows 7

  The more you get on versions of Windows, the more RAM is required. There are a variety of reasons, but all simply, Vista and Windows 7 require more memory that make old versions of Windows. New technology requires more power.

  The game itself shouldn't need more that about 500-600 MB of RAM, however, the specs say you should leave little memory RAM remains for tasks of Windows and other programs you may have running in the background (such as anti-virus, etc.)

  Hi someone Genius!

  Please can you convert my confusion. My current battery is a unit of 6 in Satellite L300-1AQ. It became dead and hard to sustain for 30 minutes. I decided to replace it and ordered a new 9-cell PA3535U-1BRS battery. Now I am confused like the battery 6 cells is placed inside the rear body frame, battery 9-cell enters this model of laptop even compatibility describes it's OK for my laptop? So should I believe this Declaration of compatibility of Toshiba and stop worrying how my new battery 9 cells will welcome in the space of 6 cell battery?

  Cheers in advance and thank you for your confirmtion.

  Hello

  Yes, probably the battery 9cell need more space under or behind your laptop battery 6 cells, but it should be.

  With battery 9-cell, your laptop will get more high, in my view, it will look like on [THIS | http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/msi_wind_9-cell_battery_1.jpg] a

• Need more performance on my Satellite A200 - 23K

  Hello everyone.
  I would like to ask for help, please, because I'm confused. I bought my computer toshiba laptop about 2 years ago. At the time I thought it was a pretty good laptop for games because I wanted a laptop. Now my problem is that I'm confused. Confused performance. I can't play on low etc. My framerate is quite large. I used windows vista. Then after 3 formats, I decided to go back to xp pro. There was a significant change, but still I couldn't go any lower. I would ask a help, is possible to upgrade my laptop for a better? As the purchase of new equipment, or it's useless.

  My characteristics of the model then:
  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 at 1.66 GHZ
  Graphics card: Ati Radeon Mobility 2600
  BIOS version: 5.60
  RAM: 2G
  OS: Windows Xp Pro Service Pack 3
  Card mother ID SROSA001.86C.0034.D.0805152046
  Bus Type Intel GTL +

  My computer shows my motherboard as?. These last 2 things are the only information I have. I really need help. My questions are.
  (1) can I put my computer hardware?
  (2) where I can download decent drivers because the drivers of toshiba support are so old. Example ati radeon driver.
  (3) how can I boost my computer's performance?

  So if anyone can help me, I really appreciate it. If you need more information about my hardware please ask. I could really use some help because im so confused. I even downloaded ati tray tools and support toshiba ati driver and I don't even know which use.

  Hello

  > 1) can I upgrade my hardware?

  No, you can't do it. Only you can improve memory and the hard drive. But not the Cpu or gpu. You can read here the article support Tosh:

  (> 2) where I can download decent drivers, because support for toshiba drivers are so old. Example ati radeon driver.
  You can visit radeon ati to get drivers and try to install.

  (> 3) how can I push the performance of my computer?

  You can add more memory, I guess that your model supports up to 4 GB of memory
