• Pavilion HPE - 533 sc: installed new graphics card. Hard drive stops

  In order to improve my graphics performance for games that I invested in this graphics card:

  NVIDIA gtx 950, links shows the map and specifications:

  How fitting the screen stops at initial HP logo and "press ESC to start menu.

  I can also clearly see that disk hard fails or starts the Windows 7 Edition operating system home premium.

  I am running Nvidia GT 630, and back on this card machines works well again.

  It just loks like the new graphics card prevents the hard drive to run.

  All attached cables (power cable 6 pin) and locked firmly into the PCI slot.

  Is it possible that the new card draws so much power that it prevents the hard drive of the race?

  When you press ESC, it seems that the hard drive is registered in the Bios.

  This nvidia gtx 950 is better? It seems to be more the size of the one I have - nvidia GT 630. Link shows specifications.

  I'm not familiar with current PC for sale, regarding upgrades.  Since is considered a new HP, try looking at the list of options on the HP website.  Most higher end PC have the options that you choose before buy you, to customize the generation.  Choose a model with options that match your criteria now and notice the upgrade options - write down them - to avoid confusion later.  OR go with a customized version, but this could mean significant spending.  It is the hand off the coast between prebuilts and personalized.

• Tecra 9000: HARD drive stops spinning / system crashes

  Hey Boomer

  From your description, I assume that there is a contact problem. As you know the forum we can discuss, but I'm afraid that this question must be verified by the service. Listening is not the answer ;)

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - HARD drive stops and the computer crashes

  Hello

  It's my first post in this forum, but certainly not my first issue

  I recently had to re - install Windows Vista on my laptop because I had an undetectable virus that attacked Windows and made him useless.
  Before that, I had many, many startup errors and windows crashes, but which were preventable or fixable. After the re - install, I noticed that windows stability was much better until recently.

  I have not changed the settings or anything what so ever on my computer laptop which could affect the performance somehow, but I have a new problem.

  If I have my computer running, performing tasks of base for a few hours I notice that performance and all of a sudden my computer completely stops responding.
  The disk shows no signs of life after this point, and his only solution is a "disruptive Shutdown.
  This appears in the reliability monitor and performance that all this, there is no input error, and nothing is done after.

  I also noticed if either windows defender or other my antivirus runs a system scan that my performance is reduced to the point where I can't run a simple task like opening an Explorer window. This also translates to total non-response. This never happened before a week ago and now it happens every time.

  These two started within the past few days and there is no clear reasoning behind it. My inactivity of the processor is always the same, no new processors added and no settings changed.

  This could be a problem with Windows, my HARD drive, my CPU or something worse?

  Is there a reason why is happening and is there a solution either of these problems?

  First of all, you reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?

  It's strange and not easy to say what's wrong, but in your case I would test the RAM and HARD drive.

  There are special tools to test the following:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  http://Memtest86.com/

  On the two Web site, you can download a CD image. Burn it to a CD, start with him and then you can test parts.

  Good luck!

• USB external hard drive stopped working

  I use Vista Home Basic Edition on a Dell Inspiron 1525.  I use a WD external hard drive for storage (almost a year) and it has been fine until today.  All of a sudden he disappeared.  At microsoft I used the fix tool and it said: relocation that the driver can solve - I say yes - device driver comes up saying installed successfully - but the disc puts to work continuously until I have unplug the USB or turn off.  Then everything went again.  I tried a dozen times, but it's always the same.  The only new thing that was installed today was a color laser printer & I don't see why that would stop the hd.  Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I need my data!

  5. Click change.
  6. Click assign the following drive letter if it is not already selected, click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.

• Satellite P30 141 hard drive stops working

  Hello.

  I am having major problems with my hard drive.
  He was clicking on last week, restarted and it hung and then win xp splash screen.
  I formatted the computer but it has been restarted, and turn off when you try to install a new copy of windows XP.
  I read a little about my error, and it seems that I have a defective hard disk with bad sectors on it.

  I have managed to get win xp on the machine, but at random times the machine is always turn off itself.

  The machine is no longer under warranty and I am now looking to replace the hard drive.

  What type of hard drive I can put in the p30-141. should be a specific model or any generic portable hard drive works in it

  Thanks in advance

  The best solution is to replace the HARD drive with the same model. On this way, you will be sure that everything will be OK. What you need is the HARD disk with interface IDE (ATA-5). Laptops newer come with a SATA interface.

• Spare hard drive stops tray and rubber for X 201

  Hello

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X 201. Due to the nature of my job I am frequently necessary to start a variety of operating systems. Recently I moved Ubuntu on a spare HARD drive to protect the integrity of the BONE, so now I have two hard drives - one that start in Windows 7 and another that starts in Ubuntu. The problem is that if I connect hard drive via the USB port to start Ubuntu, it's slow death and I had cases where the hard disk has developed bad sectors because the USB cable came loose and disconnected the disk. The only other option I currently use is to manually exchange internal hard disks every time I need to change operating systems. I was wondering if I can buy a platter of spare with her rubber mounts hard drive so that all I have to do is unscrew the cover of the drive Bay (one screw) and swap discs rather than to have to unscrew all and and screw on the other HARD drive repeatedly.

  Could someone please provide me with a FRU number for all of the SATA HDD assembly (less the HARD drive itself, of course, but including rail rubber).

  Thank you

  OK, but your complete drive still seems to be frozen! Something MUST have bad shot.

  Try it. Additioonally try to solve your problem with Microsoft's Fix tool:

  Reset your default Windows security.

• Can I restore my laptop hard drive files that have been moved to my external hard drive (who subsequentally has stopped working)?

  I cut and pasted and then a few important files from my laptop on an external hard drive. Since the external hard drive stopped working. Is it possible to find the files that have been moved?

  Thank you!

  (More info: I tried to recover the files from external hard disk but it requires a physical recovery and would cost over $ 1000, which I did not; also unfortunately I don't think I created backup via the "backup and Restore Center" files in the control panel).

  It depends on how long you have moved the files, and how the computer has been used since.

  If you have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise, you can use the previous versions.

• HARD drive activity on satellite Pro M30-114

  Hello

  The HDD on my M30-114 SatPro stops and restarts in normal operation. For example, when typing in Word the HARD drive stops (either disk HARD turn sound, light flashing) for about 30-45 seconds every 5 other minutes. It restarts itself or if I do something that requires the HARD drive activity (as by saving the document I was working on). The system DOESN'T freeze, I can continue my work and there is no other obvious problems. But I know this isn't normal.
  I don't know but that m might have started after I've updated the Bios to the latest version provided by Toshiba.
  Any ideas, suggestions, similar experiences?

  Andrei

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know, that there is a current normal HARD drive.
  This also happens on my unit. It s not not some kind of hardware malfunction or OS.
  The use of many applications e.g. Word starts sometimes HARD drive activities. It of a just done.
  Don t worry, enjoy your computer laptop nice ;)

  Good bye

• Portege M300 - replacement of HARD drive failed

  Dear all,

  I have a Portege M300 I bought around 3 or 4 years and I am very happy with and without any problems. The laptop came originally with a 60GB and I wanted to upgrade to one with greater capacity, a 160 GB! My laptop is about 1.2 GB of Ram and runs on windows XP SP3.

  I recently bought a Samsung HD-160 (160GB) which should be compatible with my laptop. After installing from scratch and used for about 2 weeks, the computer suddenly stopped. HARD drive stopped spinning and a #0 ERROR came when I tried to restart. There was NO WAY to drive HARD turn again so I contacted Samsung and they replace. The HARD drive has a slight smell of burnt component but very light.
  I replaced the HDD failed with a 2nd replacement and to my disbelief, the SAME THING happened again just after 3 hours of use! I contacted Samsung and once more they will send replace me, with the same type of hard disk. I tried to get explanations of Toshiba and Samsung for why this happens, but so far I have no explanation.
  Without hesitation, I gave my original 60 GB Toshiba drive who was thankfully still my documents and the laptop is happy again touch wood.

  What I am doing wrong? can someone help me please go to the bottom of this so I do not experience the same problem with my 3rd replacement? I wish I had a bigger hard drive on my laptop and I think all of them must be compatible. I buy one that should be compatible with my Portege M300. Both are valued at 5 v

  I have to add to what has just occurred to me now that I have installed all the Toshiba original programs too on my Samsung HDD out of Windows XP, including the utility that protects the disk in case of Vibrations. This could be the problem by any chance? This utility only for Toshiba's brand HARD drive? Any ideas or other suggestions on this issue please?

  Thank you very much for your attention.

  Carmine

  Portege M300 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should be careful with these upgrades.
  According to specification for laptop, your laptop can handle with 100 GB hard drives, but I'm sure you can use 120 GB as well.

  Then maybe you should try to upgrade the disk with 120 GB of HARD drive to see if everything will be OK. I think also 120 GB is enough and you have enough free space for the data backup.
  What do you think about this?
