Product name: HP Envy h8 desktop computer - 1440t

Product number: C1U78AV #ABA

OS: 8.1 Pro 64 bit Windows

JoBla, welcome to the forum.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to ensure that the latest components will work in an old computer.  Your computer is almost 3 years old.  My suggestion is to choose the SSD and the video card you want to buy and contact the Technical Support of the manufacturer to determine if it will work with your computer.  They are the experts on their products.  This will save you the possibility to pay for the return of one of them.  That's what I did and it works fine.

I can recommend a PSU 600W (PSU), however.  I love Corsair products.  Here is a very good power supply.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  There is a modular version of it, too.  The modular power supply is good for medium-sized cases.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  Which makes for airflow and better cable management.

  • Satellite M40x-189: on the HARD drive and graphics card update Question

    Hi people just a few quick questions.

    1. a second hard drive can I be mounted on the cell above?... it came with a 60 GB HARD drive
    graphics mobile geforce or ati 2. can / will be mounted instead of the integrated graphics card?

    the answers would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    It is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard. It s not the same technology as on desktop computers.
    Upgrading the HARD drive is something different. It of possible to replace the HARD drive to another. But before you replace the HARD drive, you must check if the HARD disk is compatible and if the BIOS will recognize.
    Sometimes the BIOS cannot recognize the hardest.

  • HP Pavilion A14Ld-550 desktop: this office has a replaceable graphics card?

    The HP Pavilion 550 desktop computer - A14Ld has a replaceable graphics card? I often hear on an integrated graphics card, it is the question that I am trading for this model, and it has 4 GB memory graphics dedicated with AMD Radeon R5 graphics card and an AMD A8-6410 processor, 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB of HDD with Windows 8.1. So, is this model with the characteristics I've listed have his replaced graphics card?

    The answer is NO, because the HP is not a 550-A14Ld graphic slot PCIEx16. The actual GPU is anchored in the CPU chip. The concept is a like a laptop computer in a matter of funds. The real PSU (power supply) is really a brick 65W, very similar to a computer laptop power supply. I'm so glad you asked!

  • I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.

    I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.

    Hello

    If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

    It is part of the upgrade process

    and also read this on licensing rules;

    If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

    The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

  • 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 ".

  • This computer has an add-in graphics card and the monitor cable is plugged into the integrated video connector.

    I tried to connect a new TV to my 8700 with HDMI and I get this message:

    This computer has an add-in graphics card and the monitor cable is plugged into the integrated video connector.

    1. power off the computer
    2. plug the cable from the monitor into the graphics add-in card connector. This may require a video card or the video adapter cable.
    3. turn on the computer

    I unplugged from the back of the computer and put it in my drive macbook & blu - ray. Both worked.

    I tried to find a solution to this already, but none really helped.

    Thank you.

    You need a video card, not the port on your computer HDMI connection:

  • Belkin router low with USB for storage drive and Windows 7 do not get along?

    Hi all!

    We have a Belkin N wireless router + with a USB stick 'slot' in the back with the rest of the cables. The USB option is actually the only thing that made me buy the router in the 1st place! Anyway, it does not work when connected to the router, even if the network is running perfectly. It is a Seagate external hard drive and when it is plugged it's high lights of the page, there is no power cable so that it can be plugged into the wall. NTFS system I think. I use Windows 7. I tried so many different things, trying to connect this dag on drive to the router, I've exhausted all efforts, it seems. On belkin under my model site there a Belkin Storage Manager, but there isn't even a request, is just a plateau that is located on the bottom of my screen, the only thing I can do for her, is shut, it is the only command that opens. Oh and the website says also I can enter my routers address in IE followed by a slash and the name of my seagate... the drive is H, so I tried different versions of H:, tried FreeAgentDrive, etc...

    .. I think it is a windows problem, b/c not only not Seagate turn on, under the watch USB (via IE, default routers page layout), the connected router settings. In addition to the light on the front of the router is 'active', blue and work.

    HM... I run windows 7 Professional / 64-bit / don't know not what other information I have to give... I don't think that the external hard drive would have it's own IP address when you are connected to the router... could it? Also, my service is comcast with dynamic IP address assignments... so it would not stay dry alike... correct?

    Oh, and the external hard drive works wonderful connected directly to my laptop and an XP computer at work... so router maybe not is not talking computer properly the drive... I should have some sort of security "allowances" on this drive until I put it on belkin?

    I'm sorry this is a NOVEL, someone help please? I've been addressed under and turned off for a year... I get very frustrated with this!

  • (HPE h8-1120 desktop computer) graphics card upgrade

    For now, I have a desktop HPE h8-1120 and there a GT 530. I want to upgrade to a better graphics card. I'll be able to upgrade to an EVGA GTX 670? (Will adapt and everything?) If so, what food should I upgrade to?

    You should be able to upgrade to a GTX 670 but first read Guide of Dave_G of selection of a discrete video card for more information on the subject. Corsair CX500, or CX600 are good choices for power supplies and are known to adapt to most cases of HP.

  • Satellite M70: How install driver ATI graphics card

    Hello!

    I want to install the graphics card ati form homepage, which means the newest releases drivers :)
    I downloaded the driver from ati.com (catalyst), that this driver is specially designed for NOTEBOOK computers!

    I can't install driver, Setup writes that I have to contact toshiba.
    What can I do to install the ati drivers?
    Please help me if you can!

    Hi Michi

    Nothing to do!
    I checked the site Web of ATI. I chose the notebooks with ATI graphics card and checked which laptop manufacturers are supported.
    and... Is there any Toshiba laptop.

    It is not advisable to install the other drivers for graphics cards. You should always use own graphics driver Toshiba because it is a little bit different. Graphics drivers of Toshiba supports an overheating protection to control performance and temperature.
    The laptop card is a module of own cooling as the desktop PC.
    If the temperature rises to the critical level driver degrades performance.

    Now you know why you must use the drivers from Toshiba. However, I read that it is possible to install the omega drivers.
    But if you install the drivers and use so you can do it at your own risk!

  • Satellite L350 - where to find the latest driver for graphics card?

    I have a Satellite L350.
    I installed a game (EVE online) and it works as it should; However when I use alt - tab, the game crashes.
    It is not supposed to do this, and on the other PC it does not crash.

    I contacted the technical support for the game itself, and after reading my dxdiag, they concluded that it was because my drivers are up to date.

    They said specifically the graphics and audio drivers are the cause of the problem.
    I have a Mobile Intel (r) 4 series express chipset family graphics card, and the driver is dated 06/12/2008.
    my sound card is realtek audio and is dated 11/02/2006.
    I tried to update the graphics card on the site of intel, but the program tells me the installation was not validated for this computer and I had to contact the manufacturer.

    Anyone know where to find the updates compatible with computers laptop toshiba?

    Yours sincerely,

    Hello trouble

    Please remember you have laptop and not of office. What you have done is just and it will help with the office, but on laptops, the situation is very different.
    Graphics card is suitable for the use of the laptop by Toshiba and downloaded driver from the manufacturer of the graphics card can not be installed.

    As you know probably common problem with laptops is heat and temperature of the material must be controlled. Graphics card too high temperature can ends with overheating and book cut or damage the equipment. Toshiba laptop to protect material must ensure on the pilots and don t allow to run on the limit.

    I must also say that your laptop is not game machine.
