HP ENVY 700-230ea desktop: looking for advice to update for my HP ENVY 700-230ea desktop computer

Hi all

looking for advice to update for my 2 year old want 700-230ea descktop

thought in the following way

Replace the boot wth drive a fast SSD

Doubling of the Ram of 16 MB to 32 MB

Add a better graphics card.

Just struggling to find compatibel points, so everyone has any idea, what type of memory should I watch so that its compatibility with the existing 2, 8 meg sticks

SSDS seem to be a source of confusion that mine field that I should look for use as boot drive.

Graphics card will be limited to what the power supply can turn off, someone knows what it supports current graphics cards go.

Thanks for any help on this.

@Paul80, welcome to the forum.

Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

    Hi Billström,

    What was the Acrobat version installed on your machine.

    You can visit this link to download the version of Acrobat you have: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html

    If you have windows, click Start > in the search box, type Adobe Acrobat and wait and see if you have Acrobat that are listed there, or you can visit \Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat C:\Program Files (x 86) and search for "Acrobat.exe" or "Acrobat".

    Hi Tomas

    I think that the replacement of the GPU is not easy because in most cases, the GPU chip is soldered on the map, and to my knowledge, the entire motherboard must be replaced.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to examine and search the whole motherboard.

    Good bye

  • HP Envy 100 series - printer constantly looking for update

    After you have purchased and installed my printer of the Envy 100 (model D410a) series I keep having trouble with the touch screen of the printer constantly looking for an update (reading message - do not power down during the update). The machine does not appear to be an update, but I can't to the normal homepage for the touchscreen, which means that I can't scan, copy, or download from the internet.

    As the printer allows me to print from my iPad 2 and from the office, I guess he has a connection with the router, but it isn't just internet sourcing for download. How to return to the normal homepage for screen touch printer?

    Hello

    It seems that the printer fails to initialize during the update of the Firmware.

    In order to get the problem solved, try the following fix:

    1. temporary connect the printer to your computer using a USB bable.
    2. Run the following patch, depending on your operating system version:
    3. If the device fails to recover, contact center local HP support for servicing the unit:

  • New HP Envy - looking for a temp monitoring program

    Hello. I have a new HP Envy 17 and have found that it runs hot.  I was looking around and I don't see this is a problem for the desire.

    I have purchase a new cooling fan and it got here today.  I had another one, but the fan was not powerful enough for this computer and I wanted something more grand.  This one is current alternative and the fan can really be cranked up, although it is very strong if you do.

    In any case, I'm looking for a recommendation for a free program to monitor the tempeorature so that I can ovoid overheating.  Any recommendations?  It would also be useful to know what it is supposed to work in.  There the processor Intel Core i7 2630qm inside.

    You don't have, just try it, it won't hurt anything to try, either he finds the temperature sensor, or it doesn't.

  • Looking for advice for a new user to vmware

    Hi all

    Looking for a help and advice for a rookie to vmware

    We have just purchsed 3 x DL380 G8 each with 8 x 1 TB HARD drive no storage shared, and we are currently approved for most part more packs 2 x.

    What I wanted to do was to reproduce some VM so if one breaks down then we can either manually or automatically start another on another host. I'd like to reproduce our exchange 2010 essentially server but that is currently on the phyiscal material and I would need to first do a P2V conversion. I also read a few negative articles on running exchange on a virtual computer.

    I had read a little and looks like FT is outside the quetsion because of having not shared storage in place and there is also the limitation of 1vcpu. So I was wondering where to start really. For any tips, pointers, etc. will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome to the communities...

    As you use Essentials Plus, you can order vSphere Storage Appliance you can use a shared storage. Make sure that the hardware is compatiable with vSA (http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/12/major-hcl-changes-for-the-vsphere-storage-appliance-vsa.html)

  • Looking for advice of vector drawing tablet

    Hi all

    I use CS4 for awhile now (to most of my free time) and have gotten quite into drawing cartoon versions of friends, family, etc. I work just from photographs in the past and have generally used Illustrator to achieve this.

    My results up to now look like this: http://crockstarlimited.com/blog/about/ (sorry, these are the only examples that I have online at the moment). I asked about how to improve my technique for this, and so my question is double:

    1. anyone who has used a drawing tablet (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-UPTZ431W-Intuos-3-Digital-Writing/dp/B001NANLOI)? If so, do you have recommendations on what to look for or who is particularly good?

    2. does anyone have advice for this style of drawing?

    know how to use Photoshop instead of Illustrator?

    Thanks much for any help you can provide!

    Crock

    Illustrator by far. You have much more control over your drawing in a vector program. Changes are easier. You can still import the PS more later to add effects. All digital illustrators I never contracted with that worked in artificial intelligence without exception. The main file is always vector they can bring an image in PS for some added effects. But the top of the line illustrators can do incredible effects in artificial intelligence without ever entering Psalm

  • Manufacturing of the simpler regions on a map of the world... looking for advice

    Hello, I use a card world that initially came is Wikimedia: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BlankMap - World - Microstates.svg or istockphoto, I don't remember which exactly but they are both built in the same way - where each country in a general field is grouped.

    I want to associate groups of different countries in the regions, as in the example of Asia in the image attached to this issue. Countries have thin lines as borders, what I'm looking for the easiest way to delete and merge into a single plan.

    This will finally on the web as an image vector interactive mouseover (have not yet decided on flash or javascript, canvas, svg, vml), so removing the extra points are essential in the size of the file and maintainability.   Advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Court

    (PS: I had actually posted a similar question before, but this card seems to me does not make the process explained to me previously.)  Since each country has it's own/track of the border, I can't use the Scout to solve)

    I still don't see your image after, but one thing you might want to check before you apply the pathfinder is to see if the accident vascular cerebral/sketch of the country has been extended to a path and if so, make sure that you also select those with the forms of the country. I came across some images of stock vector map, which is the case. If this isn't the case, and your forms simply do not match very well, a quick way to get rid of all the borders remain unwanted would choose the resulting shape you created using Pathfinder and selecting the brush of Blog (assuming you have CS4) with her has the same color as the fill color of the shape you want and just painted on gaps. It would be much faster to try to remove it with the pen tool.

    Larry,

    The OP is looking to reduce the number of control points in the image.

  • Looking for a block of POWER 500 ~ 550W that fits HP pavilion 500-023w desktop

    I bought a Dynex 520w ATX PSU for HP pavilion 500-023w.  This power supply is about 1.5 cm longer than the original and just, it does not in my computer.  It is too big.

    Previously, I had Thermaltake TR2 430w PSU.  This is of same size as the original power supply. But it won't last even 3 months. IDK, maybe it's not enough for geforce 2 650.

    I'm looking for a PSU that adapts to the 500-023w Pavilion and able to run 650 geforce.

    Please can someone recommend some PSU?

    After watching the dynex 520was reference, it is noted that it is the depth 6.3 "on this case. What you asked has a power supply with only 5.5 "deep. These meet your requirement.

    Rosewill 530W or 630W, as these two are depth 5.5 ".

    No OCZ in the range of 500W which is depth 5.5 "

    Corsair 500w 5.5 "depth, the Corsair CX600 might be a good choice, but it is sold out at this time.

    Any of these will provide a GTX 650 card needs. I love the Rosewill 630W. It will draw only what suits him.
