HP Pavilion a6442p. Update the graphics card with HDMI?

My second computer is a HP Pavilion a6442p.  I would like to upgrade the graphics card with HDMI because I want to connect it to my TV to use the TV as a monitor.  I realize that the power supply is only 250.  I tried AMD Radeon 4350, but the computer would not set the card to display correctly.  Are there other maps any with HDMI that might work?  I thank in advance, Debbie

Hi Deb5212,

Food that I suggested above will replace the existing power supply. It has enough power to handle the NVIDIA 550TI if you wish to get a more powerful video card (but more expensive).

In general, I recommend the Corsair CX500 because she has enough power to handle most video cards except the very high-end. However, it is more expensive.

  • Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games

    Hello

    I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.

    I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?

    I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
    But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
    Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.

    Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
    PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.

    It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

    Hello

    No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
    As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.

    For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.

    I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
    The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment.

    "Just in case someone else has this problem - I found this problem solved my AMD Radeon HD 6670 and it might work here:

    Here are the specs of your computer CQ5210F. Based on these specifications, you can install a PCIe x 16 graphics. Also, unless your replacement card does not require more than one power supply 250 watt system, you will need to upgrade your diet as well.

  • Do I have to update the graphics card if I upgrade the processor / i3 540 to an i5 760 on a Pavilion p6530

    I am trying to upgrade my CPU on a Pavilion p6530f using windows 7 64 bit. I installed the processor and I get 1 long beep and two short beeps, and the computer does not start. According to the table of code beep on HP web site, it sounds like a problem with the graphics card or the lack of. The graphics are integrated on the processor i3 540 provided with the system, but the new i5 760 processor doesn't have graphics integrated with him so I'm a bit cloudy on what it all means.

    Curious11, welcome to the forum.

    This means that you can buy a discrete videocard (PCI Express x 16).  This will really give you a boost of good performance.  However, I suggest that you upgrade to the power supply (PSU), also.  The current PSU is only 250W.  The latest intermediate level maps require a minimum of 400W.  I normally recommend at least 500W.  This will give you more choices of video cards and future updates.  I like Corsair and OCZ.  You must measure the current PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.

    I like the graphics cards XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  You should stay less than 9 "in length to make sure that it fits in the space provided.  Some members used the cards 9.25 "without problems of measurement reports.  In the link card is a card that works.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  There are many cards that will do well.

    Hello

    It is not really possible to update the graphics your laptop card - although it is called a 'card' in reality she is physically welded to the motherboard in the same way as a chip.  Even if you could find someone with the necessary skills to replace it, you would also have to re - write the bios to allow the new hardware - BIOS of HP have a 'white list' authorized equipment and anything not on the list will prevent starting laptop.

  • Can I update the graphics card in my laptop?

    Hi people,


    I want to know if I can upgrade the graphics card to my laptop.

    Now, a day most of the high-end gaming is not

    working in my laptop and I'm very disappointed.

    Please let me know if I can do it. My laptop model

    HP  Pavilion DV5 1106AX.

    Hello:

    Unfortunately in most laptops today (including your own), the graphics may not be upgraded.

    I watched the service manual for your laptop, and there is no similarly to other motherboards with better graphics available.

    You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, but you can't do anything with the material.
