HP Compaq Small Form Factor DC7800S - update video card
I recently bought a HP Compaq refurbished and I am very interested in upgrading its video card. I have Google had read many forums about this issue, and from what I understand, the main problem is the power supply and space overall.
Currently, it has a 'Intel(r) Q35 Express Chipset Family'. After reading some of the forums here, this looks like a profile low "AMD Radeon 6450" will suffice as a decent upgrade. I found the price of one and for a very good deal. Will it work? I'll have to upgrade the power supply, because there only a maximum of 240. Any suggestions on those?
As you can probably, I'm not too good sense when it comes to computers and I have yet to try my hand at what it is related to the installation of the equipment. But, any help or information at all will be greatly appreciated! Here are a few other features, if it'll help.

You began by mentioning the 6450, then bound the 5450. The 5450 is actually a little better and 19W. . I read on the link provided and also read in the links/cross-links provided. Seems DC7800 DC8200 share the same block of power SUPPLY 240 w and have had success with the HD6450 (31W).

I have a HP Compaq 6300 Small Form Factor in which I just replaced the motherboad. It works very well. I can start on a USB bootable and (1) start a Windows 8 or a clean installation of Windows 10. I can (2). boot from a USB drive capable of Linux Mint 17.3 Startup and load that OS fine. When I try the installation of any of the aforementioned OSs (Windows 8/10-Linux Mint 17) they all will get an error of memory or hard drive and the installation at the beginning of the installation to fail. I tried this on two SSD drives and two HDs standard. I am at a loss on what to try next. Any help would be great. Thank you. -Matt
I have it. It was a bad memory stick.

Compaq CQ58 - 299EV model of updated video card and driver for win7 64 bit and ram upgrade
Hello
Since I was my compaq laptop (about a year), it was windows 7 64 bit operating system inside, even if the manual was for windows 8. So, when I looked up initially for up-to-date drivers I couldn't find support for win8, but I chose not to because I saw tons of compatibility issues with this model of laptop. Well I don't want to update soon, so I would like to know what are the latest drivers I can find for my model for win7 64-bit.
So, what model of video card has it built in (it just says: "Intel(r) HD Graphics"), so I can find the right drivers for it?
Also can I put my ram? There are now 2 GB.Thanks in advance.
Since it is a Celeron processor it comes:
Intel HD Graphics (on models with Intel Pentium or Celeron processor; supports DirectX 10)
They don't give him a number. The processor is based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, so any driver for the video card HD 3000 series will work.
Latest version of the Intel driver
This can take up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM, like this:
Here is the Manual:
See page 45 for the upgrade procedure.

HP Compaq Small Form Factor DC: DC7800 graphic drivers
I have a new\second hand hard drive (320GB) and I had to reformat the hard drive of 74 GB. In the instructions given to me when I first bought the computer - after formatting the drive, I was instructed to download a graphic driver for DC7800 and yet my computer has a Dc7900 - I don't know what driver to install and how to do this.
So 32-bit Vista or Vista 64-bit, or something else? Do you know what type of video there? It's Intel, nVidia or ATI.

Hello
I'm not too familiar with the hardware upgrades, so I wonder if a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB would be compatible with my HP Compaq DC7800 Small Form Factor?
Thanks for any help!
Hello:
Here is the link to the plug for the GeForce 8800GT...
http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-8800-GT/specifications
Certainly, this card will not work in your machine for two reasons.
1. he needs a power outlet extra that doesn't have food dc7800.
2. the draw of the power of the card (105W), is too much for the PCIe x 16 slot 25W prorated and 240W power your PC.
These PCs is designed for light desktop for administration.
If you want to add a video card, it must be a down a profile that comes with low profile brackets in the area.
I recommend the AMD HD 6450 or Nvidia GT-610 low profile cards that will work within the limits of the power supply of your PC has.

Hello:
For a video card, I recommend the AMD Radeon HD 6450 half-height card, which works perfectly with the 240W power supply in your PC.
Make sure that you get one that includes low profile brackets in the area.
Memory... you can install a maximum of 4 x 2 GB memory PC2-6400 for your model if you are running a 64-bit operating system.
I have used this brand in my dc7800 CMT. I bought 2 games and maxed out.

Processors... Mine came with the E8300, so I didn't change that.

Compaq DC5800 sff: compaq dc5800 small form factor 4 monitors
My machine is a Compaq dc 5800 small form factor. Running windows 7.
Wondered what would be the best way to get four monitors to work on this machine. Different programs of 4 separate monitors 4 on each of them, what graphics card should I buyto achieve?
I have a usb to vga thing that might work for a monitor, so this means that I need a chart of small form factor card that can work 2 or do I need one that will run 3. I read that once you install a graphics card, you can't activate the onboard graphics in the bios. I don't want to have this problem. Please help me.
Thank you
Here is the Manual:
You'll need a card video low - profile pci-e x 16. Even if you buy one with 3 outputs as a vga, one dvi and one HDMI usually you can only use 2.
And Yes, when you install an add-in pci-e video card, you will lose the integrated graphics card.
In order to drive the moire than 2 monitors you need a second video card, or a multiple display adapter cable. You have a pci-e available x 1 slot and there is such a thing as a video card pci-e x 1 like this:
http://www.Matrox.com/graphics/en/products/graphics_cards/m_series/m9120pluslpx1/
http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=9SIA4UB1J73800
Some of these x 1 cards actually have a quad cable optionally, you can add the display.
These are not for gaming but can run extra for things monitors as having walked fellow RSS site or desktop computers more available to work.

HP dc7800 small form factor: the GPU UPGRADE
Hello Sir,
My motherboard will be support nvidia gtx 660 if I upgrade my power supply 500w or 600w. and I have core 2 quad q9550 processor.
Small form factor PC is poor candidates for upgrades.
They are PC entry level designed and produced to run software on corporate networks office productivity.
A power supply for a Mini PC upgrade won't be over 240 Watts as far as I know.
There has been a lot of people who are looking to save money by buying a small form factor PC entry and believe they can be upgraded as a PC game. It's just not really practical. You may be able to upgrade the video card that can run games modern, but adding that a video card beasty and just food will not happen.
Read through some of the threads where many people try in vain to upgrade their PCs. If you want a gaming machine, it is better to buy one or make one yourself.

New drive HARD &; OS errors->; HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
New drive HARD & OS errors---> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
Can not install Win XP on another hard drive
I work with a...
HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
Original SATA HDD is loaded with Windows 7 Pro.
In order to install a program using this PC as a digital video recorder
I installed the video capture PCI card and related software. I had problems
associated with software and Windows 7.
I know that the software works with Windows XP.
Do not want to remove the original HDD, I tried my win7
to replace the HARD drive and do a clean install of XP.
I get the same error during the installation of the OS. I tried different
SATA and different XP install disks.
The error I get is shown in this photo.Original HP HARD drive is a Hitachi 160 GB
I tried 2 known to be good SATA drives.
Seagate 500GB
WD 80 GB
I checked the bios settings and even revenue tio rear BIOS
default settings.I get this error even with everything I tried to do.
This happens during the OS install just after or during the process of the installation of temporary files are current
written to the HD.
When I re - install the original HD loaded with Win7, everything works as it
expected.
Any ideas on what] s going on here?Hello:
The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.
Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.
Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.
The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.
The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller. If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.
Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.
