HP Pavilion a1640n: install a new nVidia video card

I just bought a GeForce 9400 GT from nVidia video card to upgrade my HP Pavilion a1640n running Windows XP SP3.  The a1640n has integrated the video and says nVidia user guides: "If your motherboard has integrated video card integrated, you may need to disable first, please contact your system or motherboard manufacturer."

My questions: do I have to first disable the integrated graphics subsystem?  If so, how?  Are there jumpers on the motherboard or the I disable in BIOS or in Windows Device Manager or...?

Thanks in advance!

Hello:

There is no video settings to change in the BIOS normally on the HP PC. There are no riders to pass.

What you want to do is to first uninstall the drivers of your graphics integrated in the Device Manager. Just right click on the match video and select uninstall.

Do not restart the computer. Instead, stop it and install your new video card. Re-turn on your PC. Your new video card should be detected automatically and your integrated graphics should be disabled automatically.

Don't forget to move your video cable on the new map.

If you purchased a card with HDMI output, your integrated sound card will probably disabled in favor of audio HD integrated on the video card.

Don't worry there. Go into your BIOS if your sound is turned off and change your audio settings embedded auto to "Enabled". Save the setting it by hitting the F10 key and there still when you go out.

Your integrated sound card should be back, and you'll also audio HDMI when you need.

    CS6 Production Premium supports AMD graphics cards? Specifically over-pants M6100. If so, all the features work with the M6100, or are there features that work only with nVidia video cards?

    Are all features that CS6 supports for NVidia Cuda available for the M6100 OpenCL?

    Bill supposed to first Pro CC (not CS6) response. Windows of Premiere Pro CS6 version does not support OpenCL for accelerating GPU of MPE. Therefore, there is no "opencl_supported_cards.txt" file in the folder of Premiere Pro, and the code to OpenCL is disabled permanently in all versions of Windows from Premiere Pro CS6. So, for your over-pants M6100 Premiere Pro CS6 will be permanently locked to only software MPE mode. (Acceleration GPU of MSES in the Windows of Premiere Pro CS6 version is limited to the CUDA only, which means that only NVIDIA for GPU - no AMD over-pants or GPU Radeon support CUDA at all.)

  • HP Pavilion DV9700t Ent Notebk: Likely blown video card. Need second opinion

    Hi all

    Well, in case you are wondering how I do...

    Back in December 2013, I clean installed my machine to win 8.1 and aired big.  No problem, he didn't like.

    My computer specs are as follows:

    Purchased in June 2008

    Laptop HP Pavilion DV9700t Ent

    Video: 512MB Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS

    17.0 "WSXGA + BrightView Widescreen

    Processor Intel core duo T9500

    240 GB at 7200 RPM Sata Dul HD 120GB X 2

    4 GB DDR2 Sys Mem (2 dimm)

    SN: [redacted for privacy]

    REF: KL086AV

    My problem now is that I'm sure I did skip the video card.

    Symptoms: I was and use the maching regularly without any problems at all.  No error or anything.

    The only unusual thing is the machine heats up a LOT all around the touch pad and where you rest

    your hand and the center of the machine.  It happened last autumn some time or maybe alitle

    front.  Does not cause any functional problems.

    In any case, I used it for stuff, when the video "flashed on/off voltage approximately 12 times, then gave an error about"

    'unstable video driver', then the 'suspended' for one minute machine to do something, then it crashed and

    turned off.

    When I restart the machine, I see the power light and the lights of the cylinder of the upcoming HD and

    read the disks.  But nothing ever comes to the top on the screen more.  It doesn't matter how long wait.

    I have to overide and turn off and get the same results with several attempts.

    Can not start on disks or even enter into installation mode, because I don't see what is on the screen.

    What happens, is that it seems to get a 'very' small almost imperceptible glow on the screen, so I'm

    assuming that the video portion food is ok.  Simply nothing showing on the video.

    I tried plugging my HDMI cable to my tv and try starting this way, but it does not work either.  I think there

    to be started later in the goal for this part work.

    Similarly, I thought to connect an external monitor to the "vga" (so im saying that he rectified) port, but I think that

    You must configure in Setup? (not really sure)

    To make a long story short, I can't see any video.

    I didn't know if the video card was onboard or not with the motherboard (I bet it is), then I tried to

    carefully take it apart.  I didn't want to break it, so I'm not in the distance with her.

    The machine is guaranteed anyway so no matter if I try.

    I had a computer outside technician come and try to watch too, and they had no more than I did.  Except

    they were able to get it out more than me and they do not seem to confirm that video is "embedded."

    There are.

    I have been using win 8.1 fine for 6 months, he loved, and now my video card fried.  That's ok.

    My machine is less than 6 years old and out of warranty.

    I wonder if there is a problem on board, if anyone has an idea of what it would cost if I send back to HP to look at, or what are the usual scenarios in this case.

    I think that the replacement of the motherboard will cost several hundred dollars and since the machine is now older, it may be better spent on a more recent machine.

    I am looking for a second opinion here now.

    Thanks in advance,

  • GTX560Ti for PE 11,12,13 nvidia video card drivers compatibility

    I struggled to get my PE10 to work properly. When I load the camcorder. MTS files into a new project for editing, the first image displays OK but then freezes, i.e. will not play video. Various forums point to the driver NVidia with PE10 incompatibility and claim that the versions of the old drivers (e.g.320.xx) may work. I tried to install these drivers but without success. My question is: if I upgrade to a later version of the EP, I'm likely to have the same problem? That is to say, is the incompatibility of the PE10 and NVidia drivers a known issue that has been resolved in later versions of PE?

    Help appreciated.

    The display problem known with Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce which requires the rear roller of the version of the driver to may 2013 all about not report with another version of Premiere Elements, move forward. If you want that links to the volumes of information on this issue, I'll post them for you. As you work with Windows 7 64-bit, you are likely to find earlier versions of the NVIDIA GeForce driver. Windows 8 or 64bits 8.1 users who want to use this hotfix roll back running into the question that goes from NVIDIA do not offer enough old driver for Windows 8 or 8.1 versions 64 bit for this fix.

    NVIDIA Driver Downloads - advanced search

    Even with your NVIDIA card, it is questionable if July 1, 2013 320.49 driver would work for you, I'm not sure if it's old enough to

    meet the driver version roll necessary return (around may 2013). If you have tried, so that isn't going to be the way out of your current situation.

    If you move to version 11, 12 or 13 with the files from your camera, please watch the Premiere Elements tryout before purchase to ensure the

    the version compatibility with your project objectives and of the computing environment.

    Special attention to the test...

    Your camera offers two possibilities of recording AVCHD and MP4. The two are reported by camera manufacturers to use AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/h.264)

    video compression. Therefore, I would look at the relative performance of the AVCHD.mts and the AVCHD.mp4 that happens to your Timeline.

  • Need help to install a new discrete graphics card

    I had a desktop Pavilion p6101f, upgraded to Windows 7, with an integrated Geforce 9100 graphic card. I want to install a discreet card to increase a little things. The HP support instructions say that the first necessary step is to "disable on board and select the right setting in the BIOS" by going into the Setup (F10) immediately at startup, go to the Advanced tab and then select the type of card being installed, which would be PCI - E. Problem is, there is absolutely no sign of the graphics options in the advanced options, or a different tab in my BIOS setup screens. So, what gives? Can I just skip this step and go directly to step 2 - disable the integrated graphics card drivers before installing the new card? Or do something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the clarification. Your correct, it is just to delete the previous drivers and installing the card, then the software from the CD of EVGA. To 31W of power, the card has doesn't require any power plug (s).

    I want to buy a new video card in my computer. I am running Windows Vista 32-bit, and here is the 'problem '.
    I currently have 3 GB of RAM installed and according to this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605/en-us Vista is limited to 3.12 GB.

    Video RAM is separate, but some cards also use the system to 'boost' memory capacity.  You cal telll them because they will say memory share as apposed to discreet.
