HP ENVY 700-406: overheating CPU

I have a HP Envy 700-406 with an A10 - 7700 k and a GTX 750ti graphics card.  When I am gaming, making a video, or any other task intensive CPU, HWmonitor reports time in the range of 95 c.  I know that it is extremely dangerous to operate a processor at this temperature, but the BIOS doesn't even crawls any fans when the cpu is this hot.  No idea why?

@Wheatfield, welcome to the forum.

The first thing I would do is update the BIOS.  Here is the page HP Software and download driver for the motherboard.  There are three available updates.  You must use the update SSID: B 2 17 motherboard.  Here is what solves the update:

Fix and improvements:

-Improved CPU fan curve.

-Fixed issue where information "Data Execution Prevention" incorrectly show under OS Windows 7 after you disable "Data Execution Prevention" in the BIOS Setup Menu.

-Improved security of the UEFI and variable code. HP recommends strongly quickly transition to this update to BIOS version which supersedes all previous versions.

NOTE: Due to security changes, after installation of this update of the BIOS, previous versions cannot be reinstalled.

The first point, it's what can help solve your problem.  You should be extremely careful to follow the instructions when you perform the update.  A failed BIOS update can brick your computer.

The next step is to download one of the many applications that will allow you to adjust the speed of the CPU fan.

  • HP Envy 700-406: installation of a GPU...

    I just got a new GPU for my desire and while it fits, for the life of me I can't find the place to plug in so it gets power. I looked at the specs of the motherboard and also real life nothing will do. I'm practically ripping my hair out in frustration and I look for him. Thanks for any help. It's a RAdeon R7 265 if that helps.

    You need a new power supply that has a 6 - pin pcie power connector. This pc came only with a 300w power supply and that's why you can't find the connector appropriate for this card. Supply current do not have nor support it.

  • HP envy 700-214: upgrade CPU

    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 700-249: upgrade graphics from GT635 to GTX960... I was wondering if computer supports

    Hello

    I am looking to update my graphics card between a GeForce GT 635 a 960 GeForce GTX amp.

    I was wondering if my computer would be able to support it, and if the card would fit well inside?

    My computer specs:

    HP Envy 700-249

    Intel Core i7-4770

    CPU @ 3.40 GHz

    12 GB of Ram

    Power: 460 W

    Thank you

    Mitchell

    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!

  • HP Envy 700 215Xt: request info for BIOS described below

    I hope I'm posting in the appropriate section, basically a beginner in this room. I have a desktop HP Envy 215XT 700 with Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit OS. My interest is in the BIOS, and basically, I want to understand better. What I would like is to have a manual or guide for this BIOS, if there is such a thing. For example, if you have more than one drive installed, or even the DVD drive and HDD, other places to start from, if bring you up the BIOS screen, then select F10, you can select a boot device. You can also do this in F9. I have to do one, two or what? And in what order. I'm starting to think that this computer does NOT like the 2 discs hard bootable installed, period. A bootable, one works better,

    2AF7 system board / Cfg, ID 1.00 product / Bios Rev MEM v80.16 / CPU Intel core 17-4771 3.50 GHz cpu.

    1 can or I would be able to run (2) 1 terabyte drives in the computer, and can both be bootable or just one?

    2. does anyone know if there is a BIOS update or a newer firmware to do this, my opinion is not.

    3. I have here available, a person, a sort of User Guide with details of Setup when using this BIOS to go n informed approach?

    Thank you.

    Hello jpw389 ;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post on the BIOS info and wanted to help.

    You can have any number of disks bootable on a PC, but the BIOS has a defined order in which he sees these readers, and it will attempt to boot an OS in that order.  So, with more than one bootable disc to begin the second drive, you must do one of the following:

    (1) change the order of the drives in the list of the BIOS to move the other drive to the top of the list

    2) press the function key that allows you to select a drive to boot from

    The difference in the use of these two is that the first change is permanent, the second for a boot.

    Regarding versions of BIOS, the link is on the Page of the product HP to Win7 for your PC: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-700-Desktop-PC-series/5399651/model/6667346

    Under the BIOS section, you will see two updates to the BIOS.  You can check yours to see what version of BIOS uses at present.  There is no other update BIOS.

    Good luck

  • Add HD 4850 video card in HP Envy 700-215xt

    I want to add a Radeon HD 4850 HD-485 X-ZNFC video card in HP Envy 700-215xt (model: F9A62AV) whose video card (Intel HD Graphics, DVI - D graph) is too poor to run Samsung monitor (24in).  HD 4850 videocard needs connector 6 pin power, but I can't find the power connector or cable. What should I do?

    The PSU minimum power, with a PCIe power connector 6-pin requirement is 450 watts.

    Your PC has a 300 Watt POWER supply. Is not enough power for the XFX video card.

    You must also upgrade the PSU to intensify your graphics card for a XFX HD4850 video card.

    If you are unable to get a graphical output on the 24-inch display, then it is likely to be a problem with the display or the cable.  You may not be the entry configured to automatically recognize a video signal. You can test that by connecting the original display. If you get a video output to the original display there is nothing wrong with the motherboard or the CPU. Intel HD4600 graphics are provided by the CPU, not a graphics card.

  • HP Envy 700: Cannot find wifi password

    Hello

    I have two questions:

    1: I have an HP Envy 700 office and I am connected to the internet via an ethernet cable.  It seems that my computer has built in because it gives me a wifi network name, but when I try to open it, I need a password and I never remember having a password! I made Diagnostics and tried to find the password on my PC but not luck. Any ideas on how to get my password or reset it?

    2: is it possible to have two wifi and always use a cable ethernet on my PC? I would use the WiFi from my PC with new smart tv that I just bought, so I can broadcast shows.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    1. you need to connect to your wireless router to know what is the password, OR you can reset your router and start over again.

    Router must have a tiny hole and you can use a paper clip to reset. Plase to consult its manual.

    2. Yes, you can use BOTH at the same time.

    Kind regards.

  • Desktop HP ENVY 700: problems with the boot from usb in the bios

    Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

    I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

    I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

    I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

    Please if someone could point me in the right direction I would be so appreciative ideally if I could have a ride on the way to do

    I need this to work because I can't afford to buy new systems and its for my studies so its imperative

    Your PC has a motherboard of Memphis and happens to have a UEFI BIOS and the hard drive of the GPT format.

    You can check the type of hard disk online order volume by using the DiskPart utility.

    Create a flashdrive bootable UEFI with RUFUS.

    https://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

    Plug it into an available usb port before you press the power button. Near the powr button and immediately start to tap the F9 key to enter the boot from the sources menu. Select the Flash drive under the UEFI Boot sources. Let the boot process. If you have created the key correctly, it should start.

  • HP ENVY 700-029eb desktop PC. Update to Windows not sure 8.1?

    Hello world

    HP ENVY 700-029eb-computer for office
    Model: E3H39EA

    Windows 8

    A question related to the following message on my HP computer:
    -----------------------------
    HP has not tested this PC with Windows 8.1
    For this reason, HP is unable to update providence instructions or Windows 8.1 drivers.
    You can now lose stability and basic functionality if you try to update your system.
    -----------------------------

    A Windows 8.1 update could make the System unstable, so the message of HP.

    But my computer is always busy preparing the update and guard asks me to do the 8.1 update.

    So can I install Windows 8.1 safely on this computer? Or how to turn off the update?

    We appreciate your comments and advice.

    GuyterB1964, welcome to the forum.

    I do not understand these messages.  Here is the download page for software and driver for the computer.  As you can see, all the drivers for win 8.1 are listed.  They would not list them as much as they have not been tested.  I see no reason not to do the update.

    Hello

    I am looking to buy the GTX to my HP Envy 700-470NA 970. I also need a 600w PSU to use my current power supply (500w) would be risky.

    My question is, I'll be able to replace the power supply on my desktop with the 600w Corsair? Well, just reliable and good quality PSU with 600W which can be compatible with my PC would be great.

    Please provide a link to the PSU if possible. Thank you!

    You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

    Yes, the cables should function properly.  Cards mothers HP have the ATX 24 power connector standard pins.  You could buy a modular power supply.  In this way, that you don't have to use all the cables that are not necessary.  This makes more space for good air circulation.
