How to install the new graphics card due to the absence of HDMI Port

I have an old laptop, and I want to connect it to my HD TV. Problem with that is that I don't have an HDMI Port. I noticed on a similar question that you responded that it might be useful to consider the insertion of a new graphics card. As I have never opened a laptop before, I was wondering if it is fairly simple to do this, (as anyone who could do it) or if I'd rather pay someone to do it?

You can use something like this:

or Google "USB to HDMI" of many other and different price ranges. Don't forget to look at the comments of consumers before buying something like this. They all promise of greatness, but I'm sure few deliver.

  • HP compaq dc5800 sff: install a new graphics card

    Hello

    I bought a 240 r7 radeon graphics card to upgrade my hp dc5800 sff, it is running on the q33 chipset from intel.

    How to install this new graphics card? I want to talk about the installation of the drivers, not the placement in the pc itself.

    I read somewhere that I first need to uninstall the drivers from the chipset, q33 before putting the card in my pc, is it true? If Yes, how should I do it OK?

    If not, can I just put it in the case, plug in my monitor inside and start the pc, then install the drivers from the disk?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is very rare that the removal of the existing video driver is necessary before installing a new video card. Most video card manufacturers do not understand such a suggestion with instructions to install a new video card.

    However, if you still believe that you must work Yes, so that you can go through the program and features Control Panel to remove the video driver only. You can also use Driversweeper to clean up the video driver.  However, before removing the Chuck, make sure you have the original drivers downloaded to your desktop so that you don't have to hunt for him later if necessary.

    The AMD R7 240 does not yet in your PC according to the level of brand, model and vBIOS in the graphics card.  In addition, check power supply required for the 240 R7 which, from what I've read is 400 watts.

  • Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card

    I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.

    System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.

    Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me.  Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:

    1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?

    2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011.  And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?

    In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.

    Hello @Eric_Z,

    I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.

    Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:

    • A PCI Express x 16
    • Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
    • A PCI Express Mini Card x 1

    As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.

    Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.

    I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!

    SAPPHIRE TECHNOLOGY Radeon HD 7950 - 3 GB GDDR5 - PCI Express 3.0 (11196-00 - 20G) | Pixmania UK

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p6-2083sc. According to specifications, HP power supply is rated at 300 watts. SapphireTechnologies website of the graphics card Radeon HD 7950 3 GB DDR5 has these minimum system requirements;

    PCI Express® based PC is required with a X 16 channel available on the motherboard graphics slot.
    Power supply PCI Express 6-pin 4 x 75 Watt is required for CrossFireX™ system.
    Power supply PCI Express 6-pin 2 x 75 Watt is necessary.

  • Re: I'll be able to install a new graphics card in, h8-1070uk Pavilion Desktop PC.

    Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can give me any advice as to whether a gtx 670 FTW would fit into my current build. I know that I would have to upgrade the PSU and would be also grateful for any advice you could give me, well done guys.

    The standard for the PC PSU which are sold for upgrades is ATX for most of the PC case.

    If you build a HTPC (Home Theater PC), you would need a new PSU called ITX or Mini-ITX standard size.

    PC motherboards are also sized by what is known as a footprint. yours is microATX. This is a standard size of the industry. It depends on your case and the size of the motherboard and whether or not the motherboard uses a standard ATX power supply connector or an owner as do some old HP PC.

    The following image tells us something about the size of the case, but the given power supply information is lacking.

    So now we know, by the indicated specifications, most of cards mothers microATX would fit in the case of your PC.

    I hope that it starts to make more sense for you. These are things you need to know when building a PC from scratch, otherwise you could easily waste time and money on the wrong parts.

    I just did a quick search here in the forum. I see that this has already been discussed in a thread. An ATX PSU will work on your PC. Else on the graphics card you are interested and appropriate PSU for it.

    Best regards

  • I'll be able to install a new graphics card in, h8-1070uk Pavilion Desktop PC.

    I bought this computer around September/October time last year. No get hurt, the computer is AMAZING, but I can't put up with an integrated graphics card (NVidia GeForce GT545 / 3GB is the default that comes with the system). So my question as I am able to change my graphics card? I have a GTX ready to go GB 680.

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070uk. According to the specifications, the motherboard has integrated Intel HD 2000 / 3000 graphics (depending on model) and supports PCI Express x 16 graphics cards. Your system was shipped from the factory with a PCI Express x 16 3 GB NVidia GeForce GT545. In addition, specifications, your system is equipped with a 460 Watt power supply. All the GTX680 I watched require power minimum system assessment of 550 watts or greater. So, Yes, you can replace the GT545 with a GTX680... simply put to the power supply as well. Corsair CX600 is slightly larger than a stock HP power and is highly recommended, but also a favorite forum. For more information, read Guide of Big_Dave of a discrete video card selection .

  • Is satellite A10 - possible to install the new graphics card?

    Hello

    I have a videocard Satelite A10, 2.2 Ghz, 712 MB of RAM, provided with your computer.

    I just bought the Sims 2 and thought from the specifications that I would be able to play on my current card. However when I try to run it it gets to the intro screen and then hangs when it is ready to go into the Menu. My first impressions are that I don't have a pretty good graphics card.

    I need a 32 MB T & L capable card so can someone confirm if this is why it would not work on the system.

    If that's the case I'm looking to see if it is possible to install a new graphics card on the machine I want to play more games to date.

    the map I'm looking at is Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 XT 256 MB AGP8X graphics card. It will work on the machine and it is likely to solve my problem?

    Thank you

    HI Jeff,

    In General, it is not possible to change the graphics card in your laptop. This is because the graphics cell are generally not a component separated (as with a normal PC), but generally a specific graphic chip attached to the motherboard so make the graphics a part of the laptop.

    At the same time, the graphics driver is normally a specially modified version will omit some of the more esoteric aspects of the normal driver to minimize the risk of overheating chip since it does not have its own cooling system. Given this, you will find probably than trying to load the latest graphic website manufacturers drivers (Nvidia, ATI, etc.) will not work, and you will therefore be limited to these pilots provided by Toshiba on their Web site.

    In order to get your copy of the SIMS 2 to run you need to omit or reduce some of the graphics settings in the game itself, or alternatively, you can try to use some of the graphics third-party drivers that are written to provide some of the omitted features of the original notebook drivers. Note that if you do that there is no guarantee that they won't cause your overheating graphics chip, even if I used the ATI Omega drivers for some time now without any problems. You can get them: -.

  • Stuck on the HP logo screen after installing new graphics card.

    I installed a new graphics card today and I'm stuck in the loading screen. My old card boots gts 450 my computer very well, but my new graphics card cannot. I replaced my old diet with a 600w power supply, and it worked fine with my old card.

    I tried to install the latest version of the Bios with no luck. I guess it is the motherboard, but I'd be happy to work around that.

    metall909,

    If you use an EVGA 760, so your question is probably a vbios into the video card.

    HP PC delivered after November 2012 are pretty good at speed on the last level of UEFI version. This level begins to version 8.

    I met problems with EVGA 760 UEFI and ASUS claims it is a vbios video card problem and EVGA says this is a motherboard problem.  I would not recommend using this card until EVGA releases an update of the vbios.

    If you are in a situation of pointing finger between HP and EVGA.

    And upgrading the PSU does affect my warranty?

    Thanks for your response

    As long as the new parts cause damage to all HP stock products, should not void the warranty. You can get a definitive answer on that of HP.

    The upgrade of the PSU is pretty simple. On most of the better manufacturers Web sites and on YouTube there are videos that will show how it's done. All that is necessary in terms of tools is a #2 screwdriver. I really can't say if it will be easy for you to do or not.  I was dismantling and reassembling of various things for very long.

  • New graphics card issues.

    Hello everyone. I intend to put in order a new 970 GTX soon but before I do, I have some question if all goes well a kind of knowledgeable people can answer. Right now I use a GTX 750 ti superclocked. This one to be exact.

    Before going I should post my listing so you can help me better.

    I use a Dell Inspiron 3847 desktop computer

    Operating system
    8.1 Windows 64-bit

    CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
    Intel Core i5 4460 3,20 GHz 28 ° C

    Audio
    Razer Surround Audio Controller

    My first question is, what I intend on getting this new 970 GTX,

    (I hope I write these link correctly, because they look weird in this post ATM heh)

    The problem is that you can see here in this thread,

    The desktop computer Dell Inspiron 3847 isn't that much room for graphics cards. That's why I'm going for the compact size ones. Now in this thread according to the OP, fortunately the big card bought winter sports. Now, the concern that I have with the card I want to order is not the length, but the height.

    I have both the card Op ordered are about 4.38 in height. The card I want to order is 4.80 in height. Even if I know the length it should make sense, so I need to know its not too big. I know this may not seem like a big difference to some, but I'm still very new for PC parts and everything.

    My first experience out of integrated graphics has been a few months when I ordered and installed a new graphics card and power supply. I sure hope I have though because I can barely play dragon age: origins on medium setting without it hanging out outside sometimes, and it's a game older for my card so Idk why she did this. Maybe I did something wrong? I hope not.

    So I hope that maybe someone with the same office or someone who is familiar with the desktop area could tell me if the card could hold, if it's all GOOD (the one that won't break after two weeks) 970 GTX which CAN would be awesome. I know the one that fit the OP in this thread has ordered, but some of the comments say scary things so idk. I'll definitely get a damage protection plan.

    Before my second question I'd like having this one ended. Its simple but it depends on the card I order.

    To all of you who took the time to read all this to try to help me, thank you so much in advance.

    JoeyFlow

    ASUS GTX970 - DCMOC - 4GD5 GeForce GTX 970 4 GB 256 - Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP video card as shown in your link, should keep the Inspiron 3847 MT chassis very well, but you will need to replace the power supply, because this card requires an additional power connector 8 pin EPS and a 500w/600w PSU, instead of the default 300w unit.

    Note: As the card is a unit of double width, you lose using the PCIe x 1 next to the card slot.

  • How to install the graphics card Nvidia Quadro 4000 in Dell R710

    Hi all

    I read a lot about the installation of the Nvidia Quadro PCIe x 16 card in a Dell R710.  I know what parts I need to order (Dell GP347 PCI-e left Riser), but I don't know how to install the power cable 6 pin required by the Nvidia card.  Where would connect it to the motherboard Dell R710?  Is there a place to connect?  If not, is there some type of power provides I can hang the 6-pin power Cable from Nvidia and power the server?  Any help would be appreciated.

    It's a bit old now, but thought I would answer that I had this work and very happy with the performance!

    In addition to editing card, that I needed, there is NO way to provide the power that the card must provide without a power SUPPLY.  There is a really small box listed on Newegg called "ePOWER EP - 450CD 450W ATX12V/EPS12V modular juice dedicated to the area of graphics card and CPU of power".  Buy and run the GPU power cable to an empty PCI slot at the back of the Dell server.

    I also bought some video cards NVidia Quadro 4000 2 GB GDDR5 PCIe for each of my 5.5 ESXi servers. Also, I left my active integrated video graphics card and it is always primary for my hypervisor.

    Download and install the NVidia ESXi drivers on their site and follow the directions to install.  Reset.

    I use sVGA with my Horizon offices and downloaded a trial version of Sketch-Up to test the 3D.  They have a community of users who post 3D renderings and you can download it directly from the Sketch-up program.  Cruise around and check the performance.

    As a side note, I noticed IE worked worse way by using the GPU when browsing the internet.  Go to settings, advanced in Internet Explorer and has the option at the top of the page "use rendering software instead of GPU".  This change makes IE works as expected.

    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.
