HP Pavilion desktop computer - a 550-015: update map PSU and graphics

I currently have the HP Pavilion Desktop 550 015 which has a 180w PSU and a GTX 745.

I'm looking to upgrade to a power supply 450W and then later on the track upgrade the graphics card. I learned that some pre-built computers have a BIOS limitation, which may mean that it will not approve some GPU chipsets.

Is this the case with my PC?

Thank you for the additional information.

I see no reason why this power supply does not work for you.  I love Corsair products.  However, if I were you, I would buy a 500W power supply at least.  It will give extra power to the use of maximum power and won't cost much more if necessary.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer - 550-a209: have to downgrade HP Pavilion Desktop - 550-a209

    I have a desktop computer HP Pavilion - 550-a209 I need 10 windows downgrade to windows 7 because of some problems of software compatibility to our office.

    BUT I can only find win 10 drivers on the HP support site.
    Any ideas on what I could do here?

    Vik808, welcome to the forum.

    I did some research to see if I could find Win 7 drivers for your motherboard.  The APU/processor was released in 2015.  It has integrated video chipset.  The only drivers available are to win 10.  Therefore, I don't think that you will be able to upgrade to Windows 7.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t PC: desktop computer will not be updated for windows 7 64, Microsoft tried without success.

    I have a PC Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t, and a few months ago he ceased to accept automatic updates from Microsoft downloads.

    I tried to use the tools that Microsoft has nothing helped.

    Some time after, my Norton Security software security suite failed and wouldn't charge.  Norton failed to find a solution.  I guess it must do something with the heavy backlog of unloaded updates.

    ? Is it possible to load windows 10 on win 7?

    I got my PC tested for viruses, root kits and it is clean, but updates are still not loading.

    Honestly, I'd appreciate any help that you folk can provide.  Thanks in advance

    Hi there @LROSZKOW,

    I hope you find your experience of positive Support Forum! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you have had problems with the updates of Windows and want to know if you can upgrade to Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Reading the questions you have described in your current system that you cannot upgrade to Windows 10, using the normal method of free upgrade. Your system should have the option available from a previous update of Windows, as the free update is delivered via Windows update. If you have a Windows 7 or 8.1 product key, then you could do a clean install of Windows 10 and use this key to activate your Windows 10 free documents. Of course, you want to first make a backup of your data.

    Another option would be to try to load the original image from the desktop computer, and then try to update again by using Windows Update. This assumes you have a working recovery partition or recovery media. Computers HP - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)  But to protect your data, you want to make a first backup as I mentioned.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer - 550-166d: could not find a desktop computer HP Pavilion - 550-166d burner software

    I was unable to find the burning software for my new HP Pavilion Desktop PC - 550-166d. May I know that this model does not comes with the burner software? I try to find in the recovery software, but could not.

    So, I download software Cyberlink Power2Go:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?swItemId=ob-140777-1#tab3

    "However a pop-up message: this software cannot be installed on a Hewlett-Packard system".

    No reason?

    Is there any burning software can be installed in my pc?

    Hello:

    I'm surprised that the software did not work.

    See if this version works...

    This package provides CyberLink Power2Go in the supported models running a supported operating system. CyberLink Power2Go is a burning software that allows users to burn data, music or video disks. It offers support for CD, DVD, HD DVD and Blu - ray discs and includes features for disk copy.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp75001-75500/sp75302.exe

    If that doesn't work either, I like this free software... I install the version without open candy.

    https://www.CDBurnerXP.se/en/download

    The specifications of product software for your model, indicates that it does not come with any software CD/DVD burning.

  • After replacing the PSU and GPU in my HP Pavilion desktop computer, the wifi stopped working.

    I'm upgrading my pc, I plug a new PSU and video card.

    After successfully, I replaced and installed, I booted up my PC, but it showed that none of the networks or wifi connections are available.

    I read that maybe it's something to do with the antenni?, I noticed something that looked like antenni tangeled upward in the power supply cables, I did not use them. but I have no idea what could be the problem.

    Thank you for the information, @henry321.

    Yes, I suggest to leave the side panel on the computer and then move the led in the case and look at the signal.  You may need to route through an opening in the case is outside of the case.  I think I read that it is the best way to get a good signal.

  • HP laptop laptop 15-ac047ne: computer hp laptop. upgrade to windows 10 and graphic driver problems

    Hello.

    I have a newly purchased HP 15-ac047ne laptop. Whenever I have let windows automatically updated, update the full operating system for windows 10, I keep losing the Catalyst Control Center as well as the AMD graphics driver (which I noticed because the adapter is gone from Device Manager.) So I ended up back to factory default with windows 8.1 and kept all the automatic updates turned off. In addition, update drivers on this unit is very annoying... so I went here because I'm tired to reset the laptop to factory settings, whenever things get screwed

    Issues;

    1. is there a simple and effective way to get the latest drivers for my graphics card? (AMD Radeon r5 m330 / Intel HD Graphics 5500) The fact that it is switchable does not seem to make the drivers from amd site adapted, so IDK

    2. why dxdiag only shows Intel HD Graphics 5500 and not AMD Radeon r5 m330

    3. should I just turn off the automatic updates (both windows and hp) to maintain the stability of my system?

    Thank you!

    akattom

    We will address the latest first - blocking the MS driver updates.  Follow the instructions in the link to prevent the update of your drivers in Win10 MS: How do I uninstall and updates of block and the drivers on Windows 10

    Now, as for drivers, those of AMD is unlikely to work on your PC, because they are not designed to work with computers that have switchable graphics.

    The best place to get drivers is on the HP support site. The link is on the page of the HP drivers and software for your PC: http://support.hp.com/emea_middle_east-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/7771404/model/8566519

    Note: If the link does not show Win10 when you open it, click change and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.

    You must install the AMD/Intel switchable graphics high definition of the linked page.

    Good luck

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer - 550-123 a: accidentally installed Windows 8 on Windows 10.

    Hello

    We bought this PC just 2 weeks, and it came with Windows 10. My father disliked windows 10 so it has installed windows 8 from a disc installation and now internet no longer works. The internet went through Ethernet cable direct to the modem. I have reset the modem, but it is not getting an IP address assigned to the NIC card. I tried to force an IP address to be assigned, but it still does not work.

    How can go back us to windows 10? I tried HP restore, but it only shows options for windows 8.

    Help, please!

    Thank you!

    Mani75

    Since Win8 is out, embedded OEMs their product keys in the UEFI firmware on motherboard - and stopped including print on stickers on the PC.

    You can reinstall Win10 by install media from this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10

    Because your PC is already registered for Win10, if you get a window asking for a product key, just choose the option to ignore that.

    After Win10 is re-installed and connect you to the Internet, the PC will be automatically reactivated.

    Good luck
