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,

  • 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.

  • new video card needs the screen saver

    On my new Compaq Presario CQ45-703TUNB when I try to change the screen saver it tells me Ineed new viseo map with thogh 3D, the message is a screen saver

    Hello

    According to its characteristics, its video card is not good for 3D, and you can not change the video card on your computer. Also, why do you need screen saver? Did you know that all modern monitors can now go to sleep. Screensaver will force the screen burn its tiny pixels faster so shorten its life and also consumes more electricity.

    I hope this helps.

  • Win7 has exchanged information on the material between the integrated video card and add on video card - need to share in return. Registry hack?

    A remote desktop client from one office to another from 10 feet.  Now Win7 has become confused about the video card.  When you use the add on the map with two monitors on DVI cables, Windows thinks that he uses the onboard video (vga on motherboard).  When you use the onboard vga video, Win7 think he's using the add on video card.
    Windows has exchanged information on video cards.  Is there a way to hack the registry and exchange their return?  Or clear the entries and have windows discover video cards again?
    So far, I pulled the add on the map but Win7 still thought he used it.  I checked the BIOS settings and display settings.  Desktop is a Dell OptiPlex 980.  Using Win7 enterprise.
    Customer does not do without office while it would be re-created, I was looking for a solution.

    They would extend the desktop between the two monitors, but now it reflects only the monitors because he thinks that it's using the vga output (when he really uses the add on the map).  Discovered this when you look at the description of the graphics cards and monitors trying each installer.

    Hello Matt,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    I would like to inform you that, the question you have posted in the community is more on the management of the computer hardware rather than the Windows operating system. So, I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the computer hardware, which gives you a better opportunity to get rid of the problem.

  • lost the external monitor feature: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M video card needs to update the driver in El Capitan?

    Hello
    Apparently Apple no longer supports the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 256 MB and did not update the driver in the operating system to account for its recent update Linux (below)? What is a macbook pro user to do? I know my MBPro is now 5 years - but with an i5 and 8 GB of RAM I think I shouldn't need to take immediately for new?
    Running any video seems to disrupt communication between my Vizio E240AR and MBPro - El Capitan OS (with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M 256 MB).  Power cycling the monitor and then force the MBP via a modification of the resolutions seems to temporarily improve the issue - until I have run video or insist on graphics card memory.

  • Pavilion p7 - 1226 s video card upgrade

    Summary:

    I want to improve my system with the highest rated PassMark reference video card that my system will support with my current 300W power supply.

    Details:

    I bought a new Pavilion p7 - 1226 s last month with the intention of upgrading the system with more memory, another hard drive internal and a new card video - over time. I'm not a power user; I just want to keep my skills in the game with these actions.

    The last system I upgraded has been focused on the PCI so I was excited about the capabilities of PCI-E 2.0 of this system for the video upgrade. I considered the 300W PSU to be of sufficient size to allow a decent upgrade. I went to Nvidia.

    I believe that the integrated video (HD 2000?) in my system of registers somewhere between 245 and 375 refers.

    The Geforce GT 430 and 440 again specify a power of 300W. Their notes are respectively 667 and 830.

    I wonder if my system will support these cards.  So, I write this way. If it is not, my question then becomes "what video card my system will support? Double width would be perfect. There seems to be a lot of physical space of the card.

    I think that most video cards specify not only power but rated current. These current ratings can be anywhere from 12 to 22 amps at 12 volts amps. I was also unsuccessful in discovering what could be the p7 power supply 12V rated current.

    I searched this forum briefly and I am impressed with many of the answers. I know there are some really smart people out there who can help me. Thank you in advance.

    My target price on sale at Fry Electronics is about $75. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Thanks again

    Hello

    The amperages are additive for the dimensioning of power which only has some relationship to what the video card needs.  Video card manufacturers want to head because they don't really know how everyone PC is configured and just how hard the graphics card will be used.

    I change this link for the HP of the above items. I was never in this place so I do not know how the address was mutilated.

    Also far than the 545 NVIDIA goes, stick with the card HP as it is designed for a 300 Watt power supply.  I suspect that the retail sector 545 work but safe, stick with the HP 545.
