HP Pavilion 500-164: the upgrade of the graphics card and power supply on a HP Pavilion 500-164

I'll be upgrading my HP pavilions integrated HD graphics 8570 D a STRIX ASUS GeForce GTX overclocked 2 GB DDR5 128 - bit DisplayPort HDMI 1 750TI. 4 a/DVI-I graphics card. With that I also improve my diet to a Thermaltake TR2 500W 240 pins power power TR-500. I was wondering if it of ok to do on the computer and will not damage it. It is extra steps when I install these. Initially, I got the PC with windows 8 but have upgraded to windows 10.

Hello

If the ASUS 750 TI requires a 6-pin auxiliary power connector and your computer is running a version of HP 8 BIOS then you should be OK.  Open your PC and measure to make sure that graphics card fits.  In addition, open the command RUN and enter: MSINFO32

Your computer is running a version of HP 8 BIOS?  If so, and if it is possible to install the graphics card then go ahead. Find out what the return policy is before you buy.

Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • No video after having replaced the graphics card and power supply

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion m9515y PC. The graphics card that came with it (NVidia GeForce 9600 GS, 768 MB) did not suit the minimum specification required by a game that I played. Things in the game has been very slow - I could see a delay of s ~0.5 to move my mouse on the splash screen for the game.

    Today, I bought a new graphics (NVidia Geforce GTX 550Ti, 1 GB) card and a Corsair 700W PSU to replace the 350W one that came with the system.

    From the outset that I messed up something. It's been a while since I opened the box and I thought wrongly that the top panel (with the rubber surface) to come off before the side panel could be deleted. I removed the two screws now the top panel in place and slipped it in the process it disconnect and two thin black wires which I do not know the function. It was attached near the power button and one was attached to the rear of the Panel. The sons have stripped the ends rather than a connector of some sort and I don't know how they connect back or if they are the cause of the problem that I see now.

    In any case, I advanced and removed the old PSU and video card and replace them with the new. Two of them are significantly larger than the components, they replaced, but they managed to adapt with some maneuvers. All cards are well-placed in the PCI slots.

    The power is connected hard disk, DVD drive, the motherboard and the new video card. I'm not aware of any other connections that need to be made to food. There was not much clearance between the power supply and the back of the DVD player, but I was able to get the data and clinging to the DVD of power cables.

    After having done all that, I hooked my monitor DVI cable, plugged in the power cable and turned on the power. When I plug it in, the power button on the top of the tower is illuminated and the power seems to work. However, my monitor indicates that there is no video signal. I tried to put the old return video card, but I don't always have a video signal. Because I can't get a video signal, I can't tell if the PC is start or not.

    Does anyone know the purpose of the wires that were connected to the top of the Tower?

    They would cause they cause this problem if they are not correctly connected?
    Any suggestions for the possible causes of the absence of a signal from a video card?

    I just took the PC to a repair shop and it turns out that the problem was quite simple: I don't have the PCU power cable 4 pins hanging. Everything seems to start fine when we hung out at the shop. Fortunately, the place that I took did not even charge me what as they don't charge co-pays and since it is such a simple fix.

    Now I feel kind of stupid, but I know better next time...

  • Rattling noise - the graphics card or power supply?

    Hey guys,.

    I've had my HP Pavilion Elite m9300t for almost 1 year now. About half of that time, I had to deal with the annoying rattle noise that I attributed to one of the fans in the case. Unfortunately, my PC is equipped with GeForce 9500GS formidable card (with the black cover) and so noise, while annoying, is not surprising. The rattling noise has been stronger and more widespread during initialize and not significantly lower over time.

    But now I have an another problem and I'm not sure if the two are related. Now, the sounds rattling calms down (no noise whatsoever) and in 20-30 seconds, the screen empty... similar to the computer goes into mode 'sleep'. More funny thing is, the PC is set to operate at full capacity and therefore the 'sleep' mode. This problem started occurring 4 weeks ago and happen once a few days ago. Now, I am unable to work for more than 5 minutes after the initial upward boot before the screen turns off.

    I concluded (don't know if I'm right or not, where my post here) I have a power supply issue. The PC came stock with a 350W power supply, but I don't know if my linked overuse of heat damage on the motherboard or the power supply failure. I work with software music production and large audio files 70-80% of the time and the PC stays on for long periods. I am aware that these applications are stressful, but I'm not sure whether or not they can cause the types of symptoms that I described.

    So basically I guess what I'm asking is the following; is my problem, a graphics card or POWER supply number or both? Then based on the advice given, I would also like to know what the next step is to get my PC to 100%.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    If your PC still work with a white screen, I would check the video card first, especially since you did not get the new & improved version

    Try to isolate the problem step by step, the PSU isn't necessarily the problem as the system is in place.

  • Upgrading the video card and power supply, these will work with my system?

    Hello, I am wanting to update my graphics card as my current one is finally fall behind on current games, BF3 beta is a restless nighmare and BC2 must be smooth running low (ick). I was satisfied with the weaker graphics for now, but its time for an upgrade. In any case, I think I have my selected updates and I just want to confirm that they will work with my computer until I pull the trigger. My current equipment:

    HP p6180t

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4010451&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&tmp_track_link...

    8.00 GB RAM DDR3

    Vista 64-bit

    Creative Sound Blaster X - Fi Audio Xrteme

    1.5 GB NVIDEA GeForce GT230 [DVI, HDMI, VGA]

    I plan on upgrading the graphics card on an Asus NVIDEA GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi)

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814121446

    And the power of a passionate Corsair 850W 80 + CERT (I know this is perhaps an exaggeration, but I can update to motherboards in the future to run two SLI cards and do not want to upgrade again)

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=17-139-009&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&PUR...

    I removed the side panel to check the dimensions of the new card and it looks like it fits. The only thing that could be a problem of release the cables SATA for the hard drive and hard drive because they are both plugged into the two slots, I don't think that the two superiors would be no problem at all. Depending on the thickness of the new card is also, it may be very close to the sound card that is spaced only a slit above the graphics card. I have another location available PCIe x 1 go back one level more that I should be able to plug the sound card in if there is no problem.

    My question is that these two will be compatible with my system? (physical limitations side)

    Also, can I change which SATA plug the hard drive and disc plug in, without having to reformat? Is it just unplug and plug in the new housing? (setting power off + unplugged of course) Basically passing SATA0 and SATA1, SATA2, and SATA3. Or do need to be filled in order? (0 then 1 then 2, etc...)

    Finally, If I can't move the sound of a standard card, do I need to do anything other than the physically move when the computer is turned off and unplugged?

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    John

    jkalbin,

    You have thought through all scenerios. Move the sound card does not any problems. The hard drive should stay in header SATA 0.

  • P7-1490 upgrade graphics card and power supply

    I just got a GEFORCE GTX 650TI stimulate the graphics card.  The 300 watt Power Supply on my P7-1490 can't handle it because I need a 6-pin power connector.  The 1490 comes with a 300 Watt power supply.  I need something at least 450 watts.  What upgrade adapts to my box.  Also, the Jasmine motherboard can handle the new graphics card.  It fits into the PCI Express slot.

    Please look at the Corsair CX500, CX600, CX500M, or CX600M power supplies for your needs. Yes, the card of mother Jasmine in your p7-1490 should be able to manage the GTX 650 it. In addition, you need to enable 'Secure Boot' and possibly 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS before installing the GTX 650 it.

  • Upgrade graphics card and power supply

    I will apologize for my lack of knowledge, but what are the procedures to follow regarding changing the settings (i.e.BIOS) before unplugging my computer to install the new units; or on startup AFTER installation of the new equipment? I have a long history of building electronic for example, amps, Preamps etc... but another that understand the end mechanical (installation of equipment), I beg near complete ignorance about the computer upgrade. For general information, I install a ZOTAC GeForce GTS250 graphics card and an Antec Earthwatts 650 power supply (the apparent overkill is in a hurry to other possible mods). I will also add extra cooling for all electronic components, it is the killer #1.

    Thank you very much, David... The graphics card is simply an upgrade of a Nvidia GeForce 8500GT card, so I hope no problem!

I bought an a6620f Pavilion about 2 months ago I didn't know that you had to purchase a special hardware in order to play video games. In any case, I bought about 300.00 worth of new video games and none of them works. they say because of my video card. Then try to buy a new video card and it won't work because I only have a 250 watt power supply. I spoke with a hp technician before you buy a PSU and I was told that my motherboard was only designed to use a 300 watt max power I tried to buy one at best buy and the clerk said 4500 is the smallest they sell. and I need at least a 400 Watt or powerrsupply to make the new video card with a value of buyiong. My questuion is what can I do if I can't buy one more big power supply how can I install a new video casrd? Please help me I'm lost

    Hi chefinomaha,

    Sorry to hear about your frustration. Here's some good news.

    I think you have been misinformed or there was a communication error. Your motherboard should not be limited to the only 300W. I don't know with certainty how high you can go in watts, but you can go higher and should go higher, if you add a video card.

    The important thing is to get the right kind of diet that fits your connectors.

    Here's your motherboard page.

    Here is a document with step-by-step instructions and video for adding a video card.

    Here is a document with the video to replace the power supply.

  • Tips for the installation of the graphics card and CS6

    Hello

    I am really new to After Effects and first and I need some advice about the graphics card to use.

    My version of Adobe CS6 and after having read the list of supported graphics cards, I know there are cards that are not compatible with After Effects, at least with regard to the Ray Traced 3D engine, which is now obsolete.

    I was thinking of buying a used GTX760/770, but if I buy a GTX750 what will be the result? As I understand it, the only thing that will happen is that I can't use the Ray Traced 3D feature, but the card will continue to work as well with After Effects and first. Is this correct?

    Another question is, do I really need the Ray Traced 3D option, or can I use a third party plugin?

    I'm a bit confused with this and the graphics card is the only thing that I need to buy now. I'm from Europe and I've been looking for a GTX760/770 in Germany, UK, Spain, Amazon, Ebay, but because they are used, some sellers ship items to my country Portugal, or products are a little too expensive.

    Regarding my computer it is a system of Skylake based i7 with 16 GB of RAM.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Kind regards

    After Effects do not use the GPU for much of anything other than the raytraced render engine. First it will use for many. You will need to check with people in the forum of the first to see if this older version of first supports this new card. (It will probably do the ever popular 'hack' to add your card to the list of supported cards).

    It depends on what you're trying to do. I personally know someone who has used this feature on a professional basis. There are much better solutions out there for most of the tasks. Still, if you really want to use the engine to render raytraced on CS6 with this card, you could do the 'hack' I mentioned earlier for AE too.

    But I wouldn't worry about the ray-traced rendering engine. As you mention, the AE team is developing more then you would learn how to use an obsolete tool.

  • The upgrade of the graphics cards and processors on the Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx

    I was wondering if I can improve the graphics and CPU on my Hp pavilion dv6-6c35dx, or should I buy a new computer in the future?

    Hello:

    You are unable to pass the video to your laptop without having to replace the whole motherboard with one that may have better graphics that could be included in the service manual for your laptop.

    C responsible for costs making a such update is not worth. A new motherboard for your PC would cost almost as much as a new PC.

    You can also see Chapter 1 of the list of supported processors.

    I think with AMD processors, you must also replace the motherboard to upgrade the processor.

    Hello

    I don't foresee any problems with your choices.

    Relatives on the slot PCI-E x 16 must be vacant.  Examine the characteristics of the motherboard.

    These "how-to" HP articles should be useful.

    TIP: Unlock and slide the optical drive forward before you remove and install the power supply. This helps facilitate the removal and installation of the power supply, but it is not mandatory.
