• Try to update the graphics card in a HP Envy H8-1414

  I bought a Sapphire HD 7950 and tried to install it. At boot it would have 6 beeps then the power led would just stay on. I have replace a 300w for a 550w power supply before putting the new card. Initially, the computer was a pre-built HP H8-1414 with power being the only thing that I changed.

  Unfortunately, it seems that this article applies to you. The computer does not start after the installation of a video (Windows 8) card. For the system to recognize your new video card and start, you must disable secure boot in the BIOS and enable boot legacy. Follow the instructions in the article above to do so.

  RAM: You can spend in total 16 GB MAX, put two 8 GB DDR3L PC3L-12800 1600 MHz SO-DIMM SDRAM into the two slots. I wouldn't do this if I'm going to upgrade SSD and it's more than enough unless you're going for heavy fabrics intensive programming & resource.

  SSD: Yes, you can replace SSD HARD drive in the main Bay and make the boot drive SSD SSD HARD drive cloning. If your model has two hard drive Bay, you can move the HARD disk to secondary Bay - to buy the kit of additional hard drive for this property in the Bay.

• Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games

  Hello

  I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.

  I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?

  I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
  But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
  Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.

  Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
  PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.

  It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

• Equium A100-027: is it possible to update the graphics card?

  I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I am very happy with it, but the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I'm a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle more modern games.

  I am looking how to change, how much it cost etc. However I don't want to buy a graphics card just to realize that inside is locked. Since it's only a week I want to take a hammer to it right away ;-)

  Can someone tell me how it is difficult to upgrade the graphics card? It is locked, or easily accessible?

  Hello Eamonn

  Unfortunately, upgrading the graphics card is not possible. I'm don't know if you're familiar with cell phone technology, but you should know that graphics cards installed on laptop motherboards are not same as the GPU for desktop PC s s.

  The map is fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!
  You can upgrade the memory or HARD drive on laptop computers but not the graphics card!

  I also have a player m and I m a laptop owner but I don t use this device for games, but for a typical use like the internet, programming, members, etc.
  I have a second game machine and it s a desktop PC. It s supports a map of water cooling module and a really great graphics, but I'll change it to the a newer NVIDIA supports the directX10.
  It is a future and all new games will this DrectX10!

• Equium A60: Is it possible to update the graphics card?

  Because the graphics card in the A60 Equium is not very good and I was wondering if I could get a different graphics card and plug it into the back and used instead.

  If someone could tell me if I can I would be very grateful

  Hello

  No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
  As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.

  For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.

  I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
  The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment.

  I am able to update the graphics card in my iMac end 2012? I know that this is not a gaming computer, but I want to be able to play low end games. Is this possible?

  # You don't have a 'card' in this model. Starting with 2012 models graphics hardware was inseparable and soldered to the logic board. Looks like this:

• HP ENVY 17-J020US: could not find the drivers for my HP ENVY 17-J020US Quad Edition

  Hello

  I have a HP ENVY 17-J020US Quad Edition and I'm looking for "Intel HD Graphics Driver". The Support page and House HP driver heading the wrong driver and HP support was no help. The graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 4600. Operating system is Windows 10-64 bit updated since Windows 8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you

  I rolled back to Windows 8.1. It's not worth the hassle, but thank you for your suggestions. My main problem was, I couldn't open RAW files in Photoshop using the GPU. This occurred after the upgrade to Windows 10 so I decided to go back because all the drivers that you mentioned, I already had on my system. Thanks again for all your help and Merry Christmas.,.
