• HP Pavilion p6-2: problems on blocking down after I installed the new power supply on a p6-2207ep

  Hi all

  B4 explaining my problem, I really don't know if I should post this in office, or material in this section of the freezes/crashes/locks but since I posted in freezing section and no results I decided to try here.

  My pc: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03382032

  I bought a new PSU: XFX TS 550W 80PLUS BRONZE for the GPU upgrade 380 R9 I was planning to do.

  Is there some BIOS I get HP for this cause of power supply from what I read, if I not only one of the things like manufacturer reset to the factory settings may stop working... Currently, my Bios version is 7.11...

  Problems with the new power supply:

  When I closed windows 7, the first problem, the picture freezes on the screen that says "blocking windows down", I waited a bit and nothing, tried to turn off the machine while keeping down the power button but nothing to disable directly in the rear switch of the PSU...

  Second time happened a little different soomething, seconds after freezing again on the screen that says "blocking windows down" windows actually turned off and the screen is off but everything inside the computer case continues to flow fans in light of the power button / stop and was also able to close by keeping pressed power button...

  When I restart the computer, to which some time stops, and only after a few seconds, it turns...

  Also tried the GPU with the new PSU fans worked but no entry in the screen that I guess just a power supply problem.

  ATM, I'm RMA waiting to know if it is a power supply defective or not...

  Problems after the reinstallation of the original material:

  Some of the same problems when I got the new PSU remained namely:

  Windows actually stop and the screen is off, but everything inside the computer case continues to flow fans in the light of the button on / off and was also able to close by keeping the power button...

  When I restart the computer, to which some time stops, and only after a few seconds, it turns...

  What I've done so far to try to fix the problem:

  Restore windows 7 to a b4 point the hardware installation.

  Reset the BIOS

  Hard reset

  Clean boot

  Do you have a full checkdisk which means 0 KB in bad sectors...

  A complete hardware checked all tests with the HP software

  A system file check everything beautiful

  What I fear most is a faulty PSU that may have caused damage to my equipment mainly the motherboard, but could be something else entirely.

  Maybe I need a specific BIOS for that motherboard / PSU combo, but after returning to the source material, the problems remained.

  What I can do because I can only make the software tests since I don't have an extra PC to test the parts...

  Hello

  Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse when you try to solve the problem.

  Disconnect the PC and removed the CMOS battery.  Press and hold the power for 30 seconds.  Now, replace the CMOS battery and plug the PC give a TI a go.

  Your PC is not stable enough to make a BIOS update. Do not attempt to use the graphics card XFX until your PC is stable enough to make a BIOS update.

• Can power supply Question - I use the 230W power supply with a W540?

  I have a W540, which currently uses a power 170W (8.5 a 20V)

  I got also a docking station for a P50 that has a power of 230W showing 20V 11. 5a.

  The connectors are similar, but I'm hesitant to try the 230W power supply in the W540.

  It is allowed to use the 230W power supply with the W540?

  230 watts is maximum power feeding, it only provides the energy required by the computer.

  I sold my W540, so I can't test it for you. But I do use the ThinkPad X 1 carbon with 230 watts without no problem power adapter.

• Bad power supply?

  HP A1150Y.  When I plug my power supply in my motherboard light at the back of the PSU goes off and nothing happens.  Ths would be something else than to a bad power supply.  I blew a video card one day while I was at work.  I came home and pc was switched off and could not turn it off.  Open upward and the fan had blown completely off the map.  Must have got too hot.  So are unable to turn it on and noticed the light spinning when I plugged it in.  All thoughts.

  Thank you

  Bought the new power supply and problem solved, only to encounter another problem lol.  Thanks for the help, start a new post new problem.  Thanks again.

• Dimension 4600 doesn't work with the new power supply

  Hi all

  I replaced the power supply in my 4600 today so he would welcome a Nvidia Geforce 7950GT AGP.

  The model is an integrator of Aerocool 500W 80 Plus Bronze. http://www.Amazon.co.UK/GP/product/B00JKVHKSU?

  The 4600 has two sockets on the motherboard. A 20 pin and 4 pin. The new power supply had a 24pin cable that I shared, so it became 20 + 4.

  It is not working properly. With all the connected cables (2 cables for the mobo) and 2 connectors molex to drive HARD and CD - R, there is a flashing orange light on the front of the computer and a green light on the motherboard. Some discs don't look, no noise. Nothing is on. If I remove the power cable from motherboard 4 pin POWER supply lights up and the fan from the CPU. There is no problem when I connect the old Dell 250w PSU back up.

  Some of the reviews on Amazon have said that some cable has been connected to wrong and only he re-wiring to work. I don't know if this applies to me? I took some pictures of the connectors. http://imgur.com/a/6m9pu

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Have you used the connector 4 pins, which was part of the 20 + 4 P1 12v connector, connect to the P2 4 motherboard connector pins 12v?

  
  See 41, J5B1 Connector [aka P2]

• CPU limitation with the new power supply

  Hello

  I have a W510 with 135W POWER supply. Or to be more precise: A 6.75 @ 20V.

  I work at two locations, so I bought a generic 150W PSU with an adapter to mount the Thinkpad. The PSU is labeled 7. 5A @ 20V, so there should be no problems running the laptop.

  Yet, when starting, I get the "this power supply is too low for something something something battery charge" and strangled my i7 at 1.2 GHz, and not the 3.06 there are usually.

  If I boot from the battery and connect the connector of the power supply after Windows is in place, it works at full speed. And to charge the battery very well. Then of course, there is nothing wrong with the juice from the PSU.

  Thus, I suspect that the BIOS does something stupid. Can I override this somehow?

  Friendly,.

  A guy

  Maybe what the ThinkPad does not does not correctly detect the generic adapter. The central axis of the generic adapter does not give the right signal to the laptop power management firmware.

  Check in the ThinkVantage power manager what to say under the generic adapter 150 watts? He said 90 watts?

• The 460W power supply will be sufficient for the GTX 1070?

  Just place an order for a R5 with an i7, GTX 1070 and a diet of 460W.

  I'm not going for the largest power supply, because I'm not a fan and do not upgrade components.  If the configuration of Dell said 460 page might work, I saw that he needed to upgrade the PSU. I preferred using the extra $100 for the video card rather than the 970-1070.

  Now, reading around forums, I continue to see comments that the recommended food for a GTX 1070 is 600 Watts (by guru3d.com).

  I still have time to cancel the order because it is very recent.  Do I need to worry about this power supply?  How would I know if it is not sufficient for use?  The frame rate would be low, or the stability of the system would show signs?

  Hello

  Yes, the 460W will work well if is unique. Check the image below and let me know if you need anything else:

• Pavilion NC768AA #ABA: HP Pavilion model. a6719f new video card with the new power supply?

  Hello!

  So, I won money to buy (hopefully) a new video card!

  However, I have a problem.

  I don't know which one to get!

  SO, someone please, please recommend a video card for intermediate level games.

  (My budget is less than $280)

  My PC has stock everything.

  Thus, it was purchased as it was when you would get everything first he.

  Yes, I need also a new power supply that is included with my budget.

  Thank you!

  Revionion, welcome to the forum.

  I'd be happy to help you in your choice.  The main problem is, recent video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS to legacy.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The latest maps not requiring UEFI were the series GTX 640.  However, MSI has made a card that has a VBIOS hybrid which can operate with a BIOS.  The best thing to do is to choose a video card you like and contact Technical Support from the manufacturer to ensure that it will work on your computer as it is almost 7 years old.  This will save you problems.  They are the experts on their cards.

  I like Corsair power supply units (PSU).  I suggest at least 500W.  This will give you plenty of power for any card that works in your computer.

  If you have any other questions, let me know.  I'll be happy to help you.

• Choose the right power supply for hp P6180t

  Hi I'm going to buy a new power supply soon for my HP pavilion p6180t desktop computer and I started a 300w to the corsair cx750 power level. I also want to get a new graphics card soon something in the mid-range. I was wondering if this power supply is the right choice, or if its too much for my computer because I read in another forum that you do not want a power supply with a lot more power you will actually need. For a gtx 660, the minimum is 600w I think so I wanted to just make sure that the power supply is the right choice for my computer. Thank you

  In fact, I think that the minimum for a gtx660 is 450w. I think a 750w for this computer is excessive. A 500w would be a lot. But if you buy one with too much power is just a waste of money it actually will not cause a problem. Like putting gasoline in an engine that doesn't need only regular.

• DV 6910us the bad power cord connector

  My laptop HP Dv6910us has developed a problem with the connection of the power cord into the computer.  Central Post Office of the computer seems to be sure.  Problem is that when the power is connected, you must screw the connector, crossed their fingers and maybe blue light to indicate the power of the computer turns on.  We tried another power supply not HP and it worked for a few months, and then the same problem occurred.

  Is it possible to replace or repair the HP power connector that goes into the laptop?

  Hello

  External review of the power jack on the laptop wouldn't tell you thing.

  A multimeter connector on the external adapter test will be.

  So if there is output voltage of son but not the connector of the AC adapter it should be able to go to an electronics parts place, and get a replacement.

  If this are the results of his test, why not just ask him if he can take the power adapter to the store, find a matching connector and replace. ?

• Qosmio X 500 stop during the game - but only on the external power supply!

  Hello.

  Since I updated my BIOS to 2.9 I had this HUGE problem. And now, I created a user here, in the hope of my colleagues advice owners of Toshiba.

  Let me cut it, as it's enough for me confused.

  I bought the computer in March 2010 - is still under warranty.
  I updated the BIOS from 2.8 to 2.9. I always kept my computer up to date with the latest drivers Toshiba - and is still.
  But now, after update BIOS, all of a sudden, my computer shuts down, rotates instantly, as if someone pulled the cord and there is no battery attached.
  But it happens that whenever I start a GPU really requiring program/application. It is not happed when I use the computer for all the days of the things or watch movies etc.

  I put it well 3DVantage and of course, it crashed.

  BUT!

  If I pull the rope and let it run on battery - even if the performance that comes out is less - it does not crash, never, in any game that would break if I had the string attached.

  I was in touch with Toshiba service in Scandinavia - I live here and they couldn't tell me what was the problem, but they were pretty sure that it was not related to the BIOS, because while I was talking to them, I installed 2.8, and it's the same thing.

  It has been sprayed, treated and some more with compressed air, and if there is no dust left, it would be like concrete. I ran the game in windowed mode, while having Speedfan running, the temperature will never be greater than 65 degrees Celsius. So it isn't heat related.
  I used 3DVantage to test the CPU and see if that too would break, once again nothing.

  I think the long terms of workload. The GPU goes off when the workload exceeds a certain percentage/voltage/whatever and something in the BIOS which controls it, changed or left unchanged and there for is not skilled with the rest of the updates to the BIOS.
  Or maybe the problem is not BIOS related? is it something else? I'm really confused and the fact that I can use it for simple tasks, only confuses me even more - so this is only a part of the graphics card which is damaged?

  Even if it is under warranty, wait 10 days (if I'm really, really lucky, like place I bought it, is not exactly known for good service condition) is the last option.

  This explanation is rather long, but I'm not not short versions, and if you feel like I left something, say so, and I'll do my best to provide you with information.

  Thanks in advance!
  Nikolaj.

  > Speedfan shows also a tab called Temp1 - ACPI... It may be offtopic, but what is?
  When I order the windows event log, it shows some errors about ACPI: (translated by myself from Danish)

  Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification is an open standard and defines independent interfaces for hardware discovery, configuration, power management and monitoring.

  66 temperature is not too high so I n t think that automatic shutdown of the bottom are related to temperature.

  I have your case, I recommend reinstalling the OS window once more; install the operating system preinstalled Toshiba using the recovery disk.
  Then check the features of the laptop. I mean that you should not install any other software before checking the laptop. In many cases 3rd party software could lead to problems of different laptop then you should check the laptop using factory settings.

• Problems with the DC Power supply QL 355TP: I can not set the tension level

  Hello

  I'm trying to control a power supply DC via GPIB. The power supply being used is the QL355TP of society Thurlby Thandar Instruments (TTi). There are no drivers of OR to control the instruments, then I need to download and install the driver from the website of TTi: the package I installed is as follows:

  "QL - P power supplies, (including QL Series II) series pilot National instruments (Labview and CVI)"

  and I also installed the following:

  "QL - P power supplies (including QL Series II) series, IVI driver"

  So, my problem is that when I try to use the sample application of the driver 'Volts.vi DC Ouput'; defines a specific level voltage, does not work properly. The application gives no error, but it is not set the specific level voltage. However, other functions work properly, as the measure or activate the output. I tried a lot of things, but I don't know why it does not work.

  I enclose the block diagram of the application and the front panel:

  

  

  I must say that I barely control instruments using Labview and is possible that this problem would be because I did not consider things basic and mandatory.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  p.s. Try to replace the decimal comma to period. It is possible that the driver does not correctly handle the comma.
