HP-H8-1214: upgrade

I want to improve my graphics and I know I have to improve my diet as well. I'm new to this so any help on that would be a good buy would be great. I play world of warcraft and school online... I just want to have a better system

Lea, welcome to the forum.

The problem you will have is to find a video card that will work with your BIOS.  Many newer cards need UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released in January 2012.

EVGA made a few cards that can run, but you will need to call their Tech Support (1-888-880-3842) to see which ones they recommend.  I know that the last card that would work with a standard BIOS is the GTX 640.

For what is a power supply (PSU), I love the Corsair products.  I recommend at least 500W.  The one in the link I provided is modular.  They are very good for smaller cases because you only use the cables needed.  This only leaves room for better airflow in the case.  It keeps all cooler components.

  • H8-1214: upgrade of the H8-1214 cpu cooler

    I'm trying to upgrade the processor 6100 fx to fx-8150, but I'm having a devil of a time finding a CPU cooler that fits the card mother angelica. what most people don't understand, is that the card mother angelica uses am3 + socket mount Intel cpu cooler. Anyone know or recommend a CPU cooler that will handle 125W cpu, go in the small space, not cause problems with editing? I already have that tower coolers match or working, because of the large part using PINs instead of screws, mount the cpu because is screw in and most of the towers are high.

    I used the same CPU cooler on the fx-8150 and he ran very well because it was not overclocked.

  • H8-1214 graphics card upgrade problem

    I have Pavilion h8-1214 and problems for the upgrade of the GPU.  I first tried an EVGA 750-ti, who could start on the HP splash screen, and then go no black and go further.  After a bios update and communicating with EVGA, said that the card would not work just not in this model and it was a known issue with EVGA.  I have since bought a MSI radeon r9 270 x and this map does not work either.  My computer turns on, everything seems to work, but nothing will happen on the screen.

    My question is this: I'm going to be able to use a newer GPU model in this machine, or should I look at something a little less powerful?  If the latter, any suggestions?

    Alrin, welcome to the forum.

    Most recent most of video cards requires UEFI firmware in the motherboard instead of the standard BIOS.  HP didn't start to fully use UEFI firmware until mid-October 2012.

    EVGA cards before the GTX 650 should work with your computer.

    Graphics card XFX with n beginning with '0' serial don't require UEFI firmware.  After 2013 these beginning of series # 1 to 8 need.

    MSI could not give me that information.  They have simply said that if the customer has a problem to call them to the 1-626-271-1004.  My suggestion is, if you find a card MSI, you want to buy, call them first.  They should be able to help you.

    My advice is to call the Technical Support from the manufacturer before buying any video card.

  • Update graphics card on HP Pavilion PC h8-1214

    Can someone suggest a good upgrade for the video graphics card on my son's computer?  It's a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1214 desktop PC.  It is an age of high school gamer so I'm looking for something in the sub series $400 (or even less if possible).  I don't know if he really needs an upgrade, but when he bought the computer, the former owner told him that he should update the graphics card in about a year.  I think he still has the card that came with the computer. a graphics card Radeon HD 7450 with 1 GB of DDR3 memory dedicated.  I guess I also need to check and see if she still only a 300W power supply or if the previous owner has replaced that.  Site HP says that there must be a PCI Express x 16.

    Hello

    A video card the fastest for the games will require at least a 500 Watt power supply.  The Corsair CX500, or CX600 would fit well in the H8-1214.  As for a video card, NVIDIA GTX 660 (double wide card) should be enough for most modern video games.

  • H8-1214: h8-1214 graphics card update

    My h8-1214 starts to get a little old. The graphics card died a few months back and a friend gave me an old (even lower than the original spec) just to make it back to work again. Not long after the hard drive has failed too so I replaced which and also, I needed to put a new operating system on the drive I upgraded from the original windows 7 to 8.1. The problem is windows 8 don't like the really old graphics card. so I took the plunge one ordered a new one. I also had a new power supply, I have read that the original could not deal with any updates. The problem I have is I got the card is a Radeon R7 250 X http://www.powercolor.com/US/products_features.asp?id=528 doesn't seem to work with the system. Ive put the old back in and that works so I know Ive got all the power supply very well hung upward and that his problem with the card. Ive spent a little time to try to find answers and have read a few things about the compatibility of UEFI, but everything I find seems quite vague and I can't find a clear answer on what is or is not compatible, what can be done about it. Im hoping that someone could help me with, it is if the h8-1214 can use a Radeon R7 250 X? If there is a problem of compatibility UEFI is there something that I can update to make it work as the driver of the motherboard or even a bios update? If it cannot be implemented should I consider getting an old low spec graphics card or should I think about a motherboard more up-to-date, which is consistent with recent material? If this is the best option is it any particular reccomendation for most recent advice that I can put the FX-6100 in?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hello

    All Sapphire R7 250 graphics cards that are listed on the Sapphire worksheet indicates that all of these cards are not active UEFI.  You need a power of 500 watts.

  • Compatibility problem of motherboard with the new GPU [h8-1214]

    I tried to upgrade my GPU [gtx 560] to a [ti gtx 780] and it seems that when I install my end card higher than my computer [h-8 1214] won't go past the splash screen.

    My OS is windows 7 64 bit.

    I already did to try to fix things:

    -Power supply is adequate and bronze certified (750w)

    -Update my BIOS

    -try a different card (gtx 770) video

    At this point I am sure that it is the motherboard having problems, I would like to know if there is a work around or should I just get a new motherboard.

    Sianmors, welcome to the forum.

    You are right.  It's a motherboard problem.  Your new video card requires the UEFI Firmware in the motherboard, instead of the standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.

    I suggest that you contact the maufacturer Technical Support to see if they have a VBIOS update that will work with your computer.

  • Usb keyboard/mouse do not work on h8-1214

    I was upgrading the graphics cards on my h8-1214 and I uninstalled the AMD catalyst control center and restarted the pc. at the start, I noticed that the keyboard and mouse do not work. I looked around on the internet with my laptop computer and learned that AMD drivers have a bug that causes the uninstall process to remove usb and all display drivers drivers. any way to fix this or I do a full system restore? When I bought the pc, it came not with a system restore disk.

    USB drivers should auto install if they have been removed, but just in case, here are the normal USB driver .  Here are the drivers USB 3.0

    Just for reference, there are restore discs but you had to go, or you can order from HP.

  • FMC will recognize not update version 6.0.1 - 1214

    Hi all

    In light of reviews cisco-sa-20160330-fp (CVE-2016-1345), an attempt to upgrade 6.0.1 build CME - 1213 build 6.0.1 - 1214 is not recognized.

    First attempt was to let FMC detect/download the update, but this resulted in the following message if poster "no new update currently available."

    Second attempt involved manually download the update (6.0.1 - Sourcefire_3D_Defense_Center_S3_Upgrade - 1214.sh) file of the site Web of Cisco and the Uploader on CMF and then try to install it. This resulted in the following message not "valid devices available for Sourcefire Defense Center S3 upgrade 6.0.1 3D - 1214." This update is intended for software versions higher or equal to 6.0.0 and less 6.0.1 - 1214. »

    This updated version 6.0.1 - 1214 is required to install the recent hotfix (Sourcefire_3D_Defense_Center_S3_Hotfix - 6.0.1.1 - 4. short), as shown in the download software page.

    Someone facing similar problems? All possible solutions?

    Thank you.

    MP

    Looks like they took this package on the download site.

    The fix for the CMF is however is displayed with a date of April 1, 2016:

    https://software.Cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=286259687&RelType...

    I was able to download and install successfully on my 6.0.1 - 1213 version virtual CMF.

  • No service after upgrade the server to 5.2 on El Capitan

    I have a web server that was doing very well until I left the 5.2 update suggested to install OS X Server. I can't get to broadcast web pages. Screen sharing works always and nothing has changed on the routers, etc.

    I restarted the server after the update and restarted the server itself several times but keep getting connection via a browser failures.

    I did the upgrade even on other servers as well as the upgrade of Sierra. This server is running El Capitan, and is the only one that gave me problems. 5.2 server is not compatible with El Capitan?

    Some additional info:

    I can connect to the server through ftp and other services; just no web service.

    Port tests show that port 80 is not blocked

    Using the IP address I can get to the window of the home server.

    Accessibility means no services available

    Websites is on and I can't find anything that is not defined in law or is different than before the update.

  • I've never done a Time Machine backup and I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Help!

    I'm a fool. After owning my Macbook for 5 years, I failed to make a single Time Machine backup. I just saved my essential to an external hard drive. I have upgraded to iOS Sierra. Big mistake. I want to go back to iOS Capitan, but it does not seem possible. Now, my external hard drive is wiped clean (things are dark). What are my options? If I'm stuck with Sierra?

    If you have downloaded El Capitan, it should always be available in your purchases. Now, you will need to make a backup to backup your personal files.
