HP ENVY 700-074: upgrade of processor (i5 to i7 4430 4790)

Hi, I wonder if I need to update my BIOS, if I were to be upgraded to an i7 4790, as I've heard from others is with boards z87 they needed to update before that their computer would turn with haswell refreshment processors and if so how would go on it.

@gengar, welcome to the forum.

Normally, and I say normally, if the processor is supported by the motherboard and the 17-4790, you should not have to update the BIOS.  However, if you do, here are HP software and driver downloads for the motherboard.  There are two updates to the BIOS.

    The computer enters mode "Eve" from one day to the next, or I hit function-SleepButton. Monitor goes into mode with a yellow economy light energy.

    When I try to wake the computer via the keyboard, the monitor is from yellow to green, which means that the PC is a signal, the fans of PC and the light is on, but the screen remains black.

    Tried to update the bios by using this link , but I get an error every time:

    "This update of the BIOS is not compatible with this unit". I think it's BIOS has not confirmed the update via msinfo32. BIOS version is still 80.15. Option to upgrade button is gray, this button on the same BIOS update screen as 'Save BIOS to flash drive' and 'Save BIOS file.

    The issue is not that the keyboard is not set to wake up the PC, as the monitor light goes from yellow to green, when I type any key of the keyboard. Which indicates that the PC is a signal.

    What are my options here?

    Thank you.

    Your update to the newest BIOS would not go. So I installed all the updates Windows 8, including those in option, and it seems now out of fashion 'sleep'. Thank you.

  • HP Envy 700-074 Graphics Card problem Windows 8

    Greetings,

    I recently bought the HP ENVY 700-074 (http://http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us & dlc = in & lang = to & lc = in & product = 5371495).

    Initial setup went fine without any problem.  I replaced the power supply so that I could add the graphics card from my old computer.  The power supply and graphics card worked perfectly for my old computer.  Feeding is a BFG Tech GX 550 watt modular power supply series.  The graphics card, I have installed is the Nvidia 560ti.

    The problem is that, when I start the computer, my screen goes to sleep (as there is no signal) until the login Windows 8 screen lights up. At this time, my screen lights up and it is normally.  However, if updates or restarts the computer, the screen turns off again and he returned sometimes when loading the desktop computer.  I tried to get into the BIOS to see if I could disable the onboard graphics, but I have been unable to access BIOS because I don't see anything on the screen during startup.  I removed the Nvidia card and returned to the use of the integrated graphics card and everything is back to normal.  I managed to enter the BIOS at the time here, but I don't see any possibility to disable the integrated graphics card or use the PCIe as main display (unless I missed something).

    I also noticed that Windows 8 shows I have 2 screens installed when only 1 is installed physiclaly.  My HP (HP 2009 m) monitor is listed in Monitor 2 and I initially had to go through the windows to get my HP Monitor to display the entire desktop (as it origionally extended from the start, the desktop computer).  However, number of monitor 1 is listed as monitor of generic cards.  Thinking that the computer used the non-existent monitor like main display when starting, I deleted the generic monitor than to have to reinstall windows.  I also tried to disable, but the problem persists.

    I guess that there is a conflict between the integrated graphics card and the Nvidia card.  However, I assumed that the edge will be disabled automatically after inserting a card into the PCIe slot as the integrated graphics card watch is no longer under device mananger.

    Hello:

    Have you changed the settings of the BIOS 2 (required) before installing the video card no HP?

    If this isn't the case, please read the info on the link below.

  • HP Envy 700-074: SM Bus controller driver

    I recently bought the HP Envy 700-074 a member of the family who tried from a Mac. Needless to say, it did not work. After several frustrating months of trying to learn Windows 8 I dropped and classified down to Windows 7. This is where my problems started. Now, Miss me all the types of drivers. I installed some of them, but it's just one after the other. That is asking is the SM Bus controller now. But the utility update drivers Intel always tells me that I need the Iris of the Intel and the graphic Driver HD for Windows * 7/8/8.1 64 bit, I have installed.

    I'm so frustrated. I've never had these problems with a computer before, especially when you install a different program. I am a user of Windows/PC for more than 20 years. It shouldn't be this hard.

    Concerning

  • HP Envy 700-074 model BIOS corruption, or bug, etc.

    Hello

    My name is Patrick Barker, and I'm an analyst of the blue screen of death core Dump. During the last week, I ran into two users having a HP Envy 700-074 computer and experience the same exact bug check. The first time I met such a bug check, I imagined that the user may have simply received a system with a bad BIOS, things like this happen in computers all the time. Well, the user contacted HP and replaced it with the exact same model course, and he had the same problem.

    Right at that time, I discovered another user knows exactly the same problem as the previous user. With a consistency like this, I wonder if there is a corruption of the BIOS and/or the bug associated with this particular model?

    What is happening is that there is a frequency of verification of bug ACPI_BIOS_ERROR (a5) .

    This bug check indicates that the BIOS Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) computer is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification.

    Error checking A5, {1000, 0, 80001000, 25}

    The 1st setting has always been far 1000.

    1000 = ACPI_BIOS_USING_OS_MEMORY.

    ACPI has been a fatal error during the processing of a region of memory operation. The region of operation memory tried memory card which has been attributed to the use of the OS.

    This bug check usually appears in these 2 scenarios:

    1 BIOS bug / damaged and must be resolved with an update or go back to the manufacturer.

    2 Rootkit (not very common).

    In our case, it is #1. Exactly, what is happening? I can't be quite too sure due to having to have a version controlled ACPI.sys to debug such a question and with what is happening on another system user, I won't use them as guinea pigs. However, this seems a general problem from what I can tell about this model BIOS. For reference, a BIOS update is not currently available for this specific model, so not quite sure that the end user can do, especially if their systems of replacement of the same model have the same question over and over again.

    -----------------

    Two threads where it occurs, I will update if I see anymore:

    1. Windows 8 crashes after being in the mode 'sleep' - Microsoft Community

    2. brand new computer under Windows 8 - 2 accidents in first day - Microsoft Community

    Why I write this here? Well, on the one hand, I can't find a place to contact HP and / r supports directly without really own a HP machine. So, with that said, two questions:

    1. is there a way to contact HP directly on this issue?

    2. is it and/or any other person with this specific model of HP's have this problem?

    Kind regards

    Greetings,

    Your PC BIOS will support the map.

    You need a 6 connection pins on the map.

    The card is a double slot and 9.5 inches in length. Check your turn measures and make sure that you can install a card double slot.

    The food is fine, as long as you have a connection to pine trees six or eight available.

    NVIDIA provides an adapter.

    Disable secure boot. Enable legacy start.

    See you soon!

    Two questions:

    1.) upgrade, this means a simple replacement 'drop-in '?  Yes.  However, you will need to ensure that you have cleaned the thermal compoud of the surface and the appropriate amount of base for the processor, as well as surface contact.

    (2.) there seems to be a much more popular processor, the i7 - 4790 K.  This motherboard can be improved to the processor 4790K?  No, not according to specifications.  The "K" indicates that the CPU can be overclocked and HP BIOS' are do not support the OC'ing.  You would be spending money for an option that does not allow.

    I asked Intel, but they said the motherboard manufacturer will know.

  • WANT to 700-074: BIOS update failed HP ENVY 700-074

    I intend to update Windows 10 soon.  HP recommends to update the drivers and BIOS before upgrade.  the original BIOS is listed as FRIEND 80.15 in msinfo32 dated 19/09/2013 (and in the setup of the BIOS as KAI 80.15). The computer came with 8 VICTORY and has been updated to WIN 8.1.  I tried to update the BIOS with the update listed for computers 700 - 0xx WANT to sp66018.exe.  I downloaded and ran the update with the HP Support assistant help.  A DOS window appears, and the update completed.  Norton AntiVirus has been disabled and all programs were closed during installation.  I created a USB file as the recommended window.  After that restart the BIOS version has not changed... Even after several reboots (and stops) and disconnect the power cord (I did some housekeeping to clean the inside of the computer of the dust) the version of the BIOS is still the original.

    What is the correct BIOS update?  There are two listed for my machine - 80.20 Rev. (I used) may 28, 2014

    and 80.24 Rev.A 7 April 2015

    Which is the correct one?  I don't want to install a bad!

    It is possibly disable startup secure in the BIOS for the update to be successful?

    Apparently, the dates are correlated with the version I had.  I tried to install one, be one originally installed... I installed the 80.24 Rev A version dated April 7, 2015 and it updated without problems.

    I know that my motherboard supports updates through your web information. I'm curious to know if she can bear an i5 - 4690K? Current information shows that he accepts the 4670, need an updated BIOS and if so, HP will be out there?

    Len, welcome to the forum.

    In the list of supported processors have been tested to ensure that they work properly in the motherboard.  If it is not on the list, it doen't mean that it won't work.  This means that there is no guarantee that it will work.  You're on your own.  The 'K' means that the multiplier is unlocked and it can be overclocked.  HP does not allow for overclocking on their motherboards; with the exception of their game computers.  You would pay for a feature that you can not use.

  • HP ENVY 700-527c: upgrading of power supply and graphics card, need help

    You just bought a NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - silver/black for my HP ENVY, but the food I have in my computer does not support this graphics card. So I was wondering if I bought the Black Corsair - CX series modular CX750M 750W ATX Power Supply - if it could fit in my computer and function properly with the graphics card and all the rest of the computer.

    Almost thought you made a mistake, but you do not have BIOS rev 8 because this unit originally comes with WIN 8. The GTX 970 attracts only 145W. Corsair CX750M is3.39"x 5.91"x 6.30".  It is profoundly in your case, without connectors.   You have so much room between the existing power supply and connectors for DVD?  NVidia recommends a 500W, I would say the 600W modular version.   Its depth is 5.51 ".
