How to install the new power supply?

OK firstly plug...

Motherboard (motherboard): N-Alvorix-RS880-formfat (Alvorix)

PC: HP p6703w

new power supply: GS600

new game card: evga gtx460

OK I am experianced abit but still novice when they treat the upgrade myself. So here's my question...

The mobo has a slot for 24pin power cable, but the current 250w ps uses a 20 pin in this slot. Is it safe for me to use all 24 pins for the ps (GS600) I want to? What was the reason why hp has used a 20 pins on this mobo? I don't want to fry my mobo. Laughing out loud.

Thank you.

It is safe for you to install the connector 24 pin. You are miscounting the pins on your motherboards ATX connector. The following image is your motherboard. I count 24 pins. Product specifications for your PC State that the PSU is ATX spec.

Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Installed a new power supply, run only windows XP.

    So I recently replaced my power supply, and all respect that seems to be going very well that the computer has no problem running. However, every time I start the computer, it start in Windows XP and immediately requires me a check on windows XP. A screen will appear asking if I would like to activate via phone or internet tool. If I use the online detection tool, he suggests, he says that I can not connect to the internet and sends me in return. If I call the number, I can possibly a recording of the voice asking me the code 40 numbers on my screen. Whenever I enter this code by phone, he says he does not recognize that code and I'm at square one. So basically, how can I get my computer to start as it has always, in Windows 7 and with all my usual data?

    Also, I tried to start in safe mode with command prompt. When I get to the menu Startup and recovery in system properties, it appears the only operating system default is "Windows XP Media Center Edition. I have several hard drives my best guess is that it maintains launch than bad. Any help find how launch of correct would be greatly appreciated.

    TLDR; New power supply, computer guard run windows xp and by asking for activation, when I was previously with windows 7 for more than a year.

    Good guess:

    When you have reconnected all cables in your PC after installing the new power supply, you connected the SATA (data) cable that should go to your primary (generally marked 0) SATA port for a hard drive that has Windows XP on it.

    Check your cables.

  • 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

  • I use two different versions of Firefox for two different employers - how to install the new version without losing an old?

    An employer requires that I use Firefox 3. The other requires that I use the most recent version. How to install a new version of Firefox to another path without overwriting the old version?

    The best way to have a version be an installation of Firefox Portable. The mobile facility is autonomous and will not affect your installation of Firefox "ordinary".

    Otherwise, you will need to set up a profile specifically for version 2 and make sure the correct profile is launched in each version.

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile

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

    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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • Compaq Presario SR5123WM PC: Installed the NEW POWER PC PSU does not illuminate

    After that through a series of troubleshooting after my PC could not start then would be closed to half way through the startup cycle, I determined it must be a faulty power supply.

    I ordered the exact same PSU for my PC.

    Today, I received the new unit and went to reconnect everything, clean the inside well of dust and debry in the hopes that I could get my PC back tonight.

    Well, it always turns out that nothing is ever simple with computers.

    I installed the power supply cord and noticed the projection of green light at the back of the PC, but when I turn on the unit the green light turns off.  Is there a significance why this would happen?

    Fans never got on, nothing, nada... it means the new PSU is defective, as well?  How can I test to see if it works or not?

    Should I replace the CMOS?

    I appreciate any help or help on this that I don't know where to go from here.

    Thank you.

    p.s. I studied and went through this page for the letter http://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c01684432

    Dnorm58, welcome to the forum.

    If you are certain that all connections are well done, here's a guide to help you troubleshoot the power supply (PSU).  In addition, you can test the memory to see if it has failed.  You must remove all modules and replace them one at a time and start.  The only module must be installed in the location closest to the processor.

  • Operating system does not (error) after installing a new power supply

    My Thermaltake 480 ran only 2, 6V on the 3, 3V line and gave me problems with my screen. I installed a new 500W Thermaltake now my OS will not charge.  Enter the bios isn't a problem. But then I get a normal system beep and error loading OS.

    I was extremely careful about static electricity. All cables are connected properly as far as I know. When I turned on the switch on the back of food, my computer immediately without pushing me the normal power button in front of the computer. I have been concerned about a power surge when it happened and maybe it's the cultrit?

    In addition to losing some files (please no speech backup), I hate having to reinstall my OS and must go through installing all my programs.

    Any suggestions?

    There is no way that a new PS should affect your boot process, if it is installed correctly. Back in the PC and check all of your connections. You have either loose something in, connected it backwards or completely missed. If necessary, disconnect everything and start again.

    When you go into the BIOS, your hard drives and optical appear actually? They appear on the screen of your POSITION (if it is not disabled in the BIOS)?
