HP Pavilion Elite HPE-400y: Out of control fan

A fan in my pc starts full speed at random.  It does not matter whether I use the pc or it is just sitting and running.  Any ideas on how to stop this?  The noise is strong enough to interfere with telephone conversations.  Is there a solution?  Thank you

Akadad, welcome to the forum.

The first thing I suggest is to open the case and carefully clean the inside of the computer.  Dust will certainly cause the symptom you are experiencing.  Be sure to clean the fan that makes noise.  Dust on the fans will go wrong and cause noise.

If this does not work, please let us know which fan is the source of the problem.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-400Y no video output.

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-400Y computer that I had stored (unplugged) in a bedroom closet bedroom for almost a year.  It was working fine when I put it in storage.

    This past weekend, I wanted to use, so I plugged in and connected to an analog VGA monitor well known on the integrated motherboard video VGA analogue connector.  When I turned on, there is no video on the monitor.  I searched the HP support site and found a statement that said "built into the graphics card or the card PCI Express x 16 slot are usable at once; they are not usable at the same time. "This computer came with a 5450 PCI express X 16 video card installed.

    However, the 5450 PCI express X 16 video card only has a digital DVI and I wanted to use a loose analog VGA monitor.  So I powered it turned off and physically removed the 5450 PCI express X 16 video card.  Then I unplugged the power cord and removed the CMOS battery for a few minutes.  Then I replaced the battery and applied again to power.

    I still do not get all analog VGA video out of the motherboard, not even the BIOS messages it is first energized.

    I also tried to integrated edge connector with a DVI equipped, monitor.  Still, there is no video output.

    So I removed the power and re-installed the 5450 PCI express X 16 video card that has only a DVI connector.  I connected to a monitor DVI equipped and applied again to power.  There is still no video output was two well-known instructors.

    When I turn on the computer, the fan power works, processor and fans of casing run, the blue led on the switch is lit and not blinking.  The Green LED on the motherboard is on.  The Green orange and activity led Ethernet link light are on.  There are no beeps.  I can hear the hard drive starts to work.  I have no video output.

    I use a HP USB keyboard and a USB mouse.  The red LED at the bottom of the mouse is not on.  The shift lock and lock lights number do not light when you press the corresponding key.

    This computer has spent more time of storage that it has been used.  It worked even when stored in a bedroom closet in bedroom.  I checked all the wire connections on the motherboard, with no improvement.

    I would like any suggestions to get this working of the computer.  I wonder if the motherboard has somehow that went wrong.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello Big Dave,

    Thank you for answering my question / problem.

    I am aware that I can not use an analog VGA connection on the motherboard for a digital DVI input on my LCD monitor and vice versa.  I tried two different montors both analog and digital connections on the motherboard.  I tried to communicate clearly, but I guess that I don't have.

    It is unimportant, now that I've found that HP recognizes that my computer model had a drawing or a manufacturing defect that causes the exact symptoms I am having.  There is here a link to HPs extended warranty program that describes the patterns and symptoms:

    Serial number: [personal information]

    Product number: VS311AA

    BIOS: american megatrends Inc. 5.13, 03/03/2010

    I would like to know if the motherboard can support the gpu or not

    Please answer as soon as possible

    Thank you < 3

    Greetings,

    750ti GTX requires BIOS version 8.xx.

    This card to initialize not due to lack of UEFI support in the BIOS.

    Discover the Nvidia 600 series graphics cards as they will run on a legacy PC BIOS. The 600 series cards can run on a PCIex16 Gen1 slot. I have not checked this.

    I've seen information indicating that some AMD manufacturers ship AMD cards with the ability to switch between legacy and UEFI BIOS.

    Check out it at Sapphire Tech.

    So these four cards do not work when it is combined with adequate food on a legacy BIOS PC with a PCIE x 16 Gen2 slot.

    The PC can have only one slot PCIex16 Gen1. The cards are not compatible in this case.

    You will need to check the prospective: graphics card power and the dimensions of upgrade to check both will fit your turn.  We must also find a graphics card that runs on a slot PCIex16 Gen1.

    See you soon!

  • Do I have reason to infer that I can't get two monitors running on my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 410 t?

    I got the Pavilion Elite HPE - 410 t with the included nVidia GeForce 315 graphics card and tried to get two monitors put in place. I have two VGA screens and I run one of them off the coast of DVI using a VGA port to DVI, and it works fine. However, I can not all signals from the built-in VGA port, so I started to look around the site of HP. I came across a page that lists the motherboard Plug and he shouted that the embedded video is not available if a graphics card is installed.

    Thus, it seems that I am out of luck, but I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me if it is maybe something obvious that I'm missing. My nVidia monitors also has an HDMI port, but I understand that I would need a HDMI monitor to be able to use this port.

    Can someone let me know if I'm wrong in my understanding of my options, or if there is an easy solution?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Yes, you are right to assume that if you have a video card installed, the integrated graphics chip is disabled.  Looking at the specifications of your card (see link below), he suggests that it has a VGA, DVI and HDMI connection.  However, I realize that these specifications vary and may not apply to the card that you have.

    NVIDIA GeForce 315

    If yours doesn't have the VGA adapter, then your also had reason to assume need you a monitor with an entry in order to use 2 monitors HDMI.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f: update video card

    A PNY gtx 950 should physically be in a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f? I already know that I have to upgrade the power supply, but before shelling out more money, I figured I would see if anyone knew if the card fits?

    KKingotu, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you will have with the GTX 950 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released on February 5, 2010.  There is no way to update the UEFI BIOS.  You can contact Technical Support PNY to see if they have a VBIOS update for the video card that will work with your motherboard.

    Meanwhile in the space provided, you can measure e/s rear plate on the front of the computer case to see if any of the components.  In addition, it is a wide double card (two locations).

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-555sc desktop PC - will not get past the first screen of the BIOS

    Hello

    Since yesterday my PC, a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-555sc desktop computer, does not start. It freezes at the start screen "HP".

    It only allows me to enter the BIOS and it meets no other entry.

    I thought it might be the motherboard.

    Is anyone know about this problem? Is it already happened?

    It comes to my PC

    My PC was already supposed to be an upgrade, but I would like to know if this can be corrected before I create a new.

    I knew no more probably is not on warranty.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Which is usually caused by a corrupt BIOS. You can clear the CMOS. Sometimes, but not always, which solves the problem.

    It is of the card mother reference web page.

    Look for the clear instructions of the CMOS. The instructions do not specify this, but it is best to remove the RTC battery before performing the clear procedure of CMOS.

    While the RTC battery is out and the PC unplugged, press and hold the power switch of the PC for about 15 seconds. When you replace the RTC dough the + must be facing upwards.

    HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart Netflix Version: 1.0.2.0

    I have apalogize, I know that this has been done before, but I'm looking for different software or updates not upgrades.

    A couple of weeks, I tried to watch a movie Blu - ray (made before 2013) through HP MediaSmart DVD, when I put the movie in him would ask if I wanted to check the updates, so I said yes, he started the process of loading and asked again if I wanted to check the updates. Finally, I took the film and went into settings, watched in updates and there was an update. So I chose the update and HP MediaSmart DVD HP TouchSmart DVD changed. After that, the movie played fine.

    Now I'm watching a Blu - ray movie (made in 2013) and still once he asks me if I want to check the updates, so I took the film out, went into settings, that update, but there is nothing there. I put the movie back to try again and he asks me if I want to check the updates, so I push No., he would say "disk ready for play. Press Play to start. "So I press start and it will immediately message asking if I want to check the updates. So then the movie is still in I go into the settings, that update, and there is still nothing.

    All DVD for the 2013 game and rain fines. All comics before 2013 play fine. All BDs for 2013 keep asking check updates.

    Now, I find another reason that could not work the BDs is because my DVD/BD players could be updated.

    Device: hp BD O DH4O3S SCSI CdRom Device & hp DVD a DH16AAL SCSI CdRom Device
    Driver provider: Microsoft
    Driver date: 21/06/2006
    Driver version: 6.1.7601.17514
    Digital signer: Microsoft Windows

    I clicked on the update for both driver and said that I was aware.

    I find no new updates for HP TouchSmart DVD on CyberLink website. Where can I check updates? In addition, what I have to update all of the HP MediaSmart Software Suite to make it work (and where I do that)? Are there updates for DVD/BD drives and if there is where can I find them?

    Someone, please help me to find the updates.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to that.

    I finally got a new monitor (a long while ago):

    HP Pavilion 22bw IPS monitor 21.5 backlit "

    1920 x 1080

    VGA, DVI - D, HDMI

    So I tried again a movie BD 2013 on the HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart DVD thanks to the new screen and he asked again if I want to check for an update, but it worked fine on PowerDVD from CyberLink 13 (which means I have to buy ). So I have not watched all BD movies on my computer for awhile.

    I recently bought a new computer and restored my old computer to its factory condition and reinstalled all programs and installed the updates I could find.

    After I restored the computer I tried BD 2013 & 2015 on HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart DVD movies and he even asked if I want to check for an update. It's been 2 years and still no new updates! Looks like HP MediaSmart has become obsolete. I don't know if PowerDVD 13 still works because I obviously don't buy it.

    Thus, it seems that if someone wants to play movies BD 2013 or newer that they should ensure that they have the right connection between the monitor and the computer and buy a new BD software to replace the old software obsolete.

    With my new computer, I'll be closing this and boxing upward. So I don't need to worry about this more.

    Thank you for your time and your help. And good luck to anyone else who might have the same problem.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t - two monitors?

    Hello forum!

    For work I'll put up a brand new, out-of-the-box, desktop Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t series, and I'm supposed to put up with two monitors. The monitors are both monitors HP 21 "(not sure model number, but pretty sure this info is irrelevant.) Both monitors have a DVI and a VGA output each.

    The problem is... I don't know if the computer can get out to two monitors. I mean, I think it can its such a new computer and the plug about it being very respectable. But at the back of the system, the only entries that I see are:

    1 HDMI

    1 DVI

    assortment of 6 audio inputs (speaker, microphone, etc.).

    1 Ethernet

    4 USB PORTS

    and something audio optical

    But there is also what appears to be two locations that are "closed" for lack of another word. One is what appears to be a DVI input but with a screwed in black plastic piece. I guess I should remove the plastic and it would be an another DVI but on the plastic was the words "DO NOT REMOVE" so I left alone. The other location is what seems to be a HDMI slot with a black piece of plastic glued to the front.

    The computer is capable of ouputting to two monitors?

    and

    What are those waterproof slots?

    Good luck with your responses and thanks in advance,

    There's a HMDI.  Use a HMDI on DVI connector.  Not very expensive.  Make sure you have the right sex on each end or cable/connector.  See the Big Dave det-related article it upward.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480t computer and burner blu - ray 12 x HP bd 340i

    Model bd340i in the middle of last year, I bought HP 12 x Blu - Ray burner. When I bought my HP Office in December 2010 model HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480 t, I installed the burner and everything worked very well. Today, I tried to burn a blu - ray disc, and he returned with can't read media, which stood on imgBurn. So I tried the same thing on the burner systems, and she came back as no drive in the status bar. I have also tried burning CyberLink software and the same thing no disc.

    I then tried to play the two store bought and home made blu - ray disc and could not read media. I was ready to blame it on a bad burner but then I tried a regular DVD the two store bought and done House, and it plays very well. I then tried to burn a single dvd double layer with all the burning software three I have and it is still fine, no problem. It's just the blu - ray media that cannot be read or written. The only supports blu - ray, I used from the first day was Kodak and never had a problem. That's what baffles me.

    At this point, I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem with the computer or burner blu - ray or both. 3 different burning programs works fine on DVD but not blu - ray, DVD plays fine but can't play or burn blu - ray discs.

    Could this laser blu - ray crapped out and the dvd reading and writing laser still works?  Must a blu ray burner still lasers for both media (DVD and Blu Ray)?

    Everything else with the computer works fine. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it is the same, I tried to update the drivers and firmware on your site and still does not work. Please help.

My main drive is a 1.5 to and he sees very well. where can I find an update of the BIOS using the new drive? I have been to the page "downloads of software and the driver" and it does not list one. Am I out of luck?

    When I ran Paragon booted from a USB stick to copy my 1.5 TB drive it given the disk as a disk of 2.7 to so I think the bios is seening it?

    I'm not a professional computer, but after 30 years of use, the upgrade and repair PC home and the office, I'm embarrassed to post this thread - but here goes.  I took delivery of a few days ago the new highest indicated HP computer model in the topic of this thread.  The new computer is beautiful and everything worked perfectly from the start.  I decided after a few days to check, everything was fine and proceeded to a few pieces of hardware to transfer from my old Dell (a fairly new 1 t WD SATA HDD on which coied got a lot of data from the former count and a new BD/DVD ROM SATA optical drive).  Everything was fine once I figured out how to get these two drives in the enclosure waterproof on the new computer, but all reconnecting the SATA cable on the main came with the computer HARD disk, I broke up some pins on the HARD drive that made it of course useless SATA port.  I of course take full responsibility and do not wish to get involved with HP technical support to replace the disc - and frankly, I prefer not to put another HDD Seagate support because I prefer a 1 t Cavier Black SATA WD which I believe is one of the most reliable RESEARCH on the market right now, and I can buy it for around $200 instead of the $400 I uknderstand fresh HP for the same size of Seagate replacement.

    Here's my question, can I just buy a new HDD WD and install it with my own final Win 7 x 64 without the HP recovery disks (they did not come with the new computer, and I had not yet created my own recovery disc).  Frankly I'd rather have a completely clean install of my Win 7 OS without the HP partition and other HP software on the HARD disk.  Is this possible or HP has some sort of identity with their software which must correspond with the BIOS or something like this?  REALLY, I don't want to return the computer to HP to get called into service because I just started a small business that involves a lot of video editing and I can't be without the computer for weeks, while HP is concerned with him (I've read the horror stories about the high cost of the repairs and the long repair time but I do not wish to keep my warranty if possible).
