HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 400z CTO: H - RS880 - Μatx Motherboard BIOS Update caused crash, to see a black screen now?

I have a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-400z running Windows 7 (64), my computer was working fine, however I thought that I needed to update the drivers and things from the HP website.

The first thing I installed was the following: H - RS880 - Μatx Motherboard BIOS Update

That restarted immediately frozen mouse on a black screen. When I turn on the computer the lights and the fan turns on but the screen remains black. Their is nothing wrong with the monitor, it's light is on, but when turn light it just says: "monitor going to sleep".

I went through these troubleshooting pages: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-Elite-HPE-Desktop-PC-series/4269972/model/4300925/do...

http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-elite-HPE-400-desktop-PC-series/4269972/document/BPH...

without success.

Any other suggestions of what I could do to fix this?

Hello

Disconnect the PC and press and hold power for 30 seconds. Remove and replace the battery CMOS. It's a $4 item. Now let's see what happens. If no joy, then try the steps above once again.

If your PC support has been changed or modified then put it back in its original state.

  • Update the bios HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480t CTO Desktop PC

    I just bought a hard drive 3 TB to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480t CTO and he only sees a drive 746,52 GB under Windows 7 pro 64 bit. 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?

    EDIT: The Intel rapid storage technology software sees as 2 862 TB, but windows doesn't see 746,52 GB.

    Solved!

    Update card mother sata drivers and program "Fast storage Intel technology" and it now works fine.

    Went to ma-configdotcom and ran their detection app and it recommended JMB36X_WinDrv_R1.17.65_WHQL_eSATA.zip of JMicron and Intel's SetupRST.exe. I ran both, restarted the computer and viola! He works and see all the new drive.  I hope this helps someone else.

  • 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.

  • Video card (and others) upgrades for a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t

    Hello... First of all, I just want to say that these forums have been an invaluable resource for me in my quest to upgrade my current PC. A lot of good answers and always at the top of the Google search results, you guys have been so super helpful. Without a doubt a very different experience from what I got when I bought my PC from a company that rhymes with 'hell '.

    I have a few specific questions, however, and thought I'd throw them to let experts weigh... For the record, I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t with all parts except for the video card, which is currently an ATI over-pants v4800. I am running three monitors 20 "(1 DVI and Display Port 2 at present, but who can be flexible). Also, I don't a few moderate games (FPS, MMO) and watch a lot of Netflix...

    1. I'm certainly looking to update my video card, but I do not know what actually fits. I'm ready to upgrade the PSU as well (probably to the Corsair CX-600 recommended elsewhere on this forum), so power should not be a problem. And money is not a huge problem either, as long as the card is less than $500 or more. I've been watching some of the newer cards (like a 680 GTX or even the new 770), but I'm afraid that they will not physically fit in the case, or will be not compatible with the motherboard (which seems to be the PCIe 1.0? Or I read wrong?). So basically, my ultimate question is: what is the best possible graphics card given my case current and potentially put to level power supply, motherboard, I could use? If it's important, SLI is feasible but not more.

    2. I also intend to add additional RAM. The page on the card to my PC to the HP support Site says it takes DDR3 1600 PC3 10600, but everything that I find these days in the RAM is DDR 3 1600 PC3 12800. My mother/PC card will support the 12800 or do I have to keep hunting to find 10600 sticks?

    3. and finally, I'll also put in a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. Do you know if the motherboard compatible with the SATA connectors suitable for speeds of 6 GB? Just plug page says "SATA" and does not specify a version.

    Any help you could give me on these questions would be greatly appreciated. This computer has served me well for a few years now, and I'm hoping to keep it for a few more years. Thanks in advance and have a nice day...

    Here are the specifications of plant origin and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t CTO and here are the specs of his card mother IPISB-CH (Cleveland). According to the specifications, the motherboard uses the Chipset Intel H67 Express that supports an extension v2.0 x 16 PCIe and 3Gbs SATAII (SATA2).

    (1) SLI is not "feasible", so no need to go there. GeForce GTX 680 cards are going to be long, perhaps too long. You need to measure the space available at the back of the case more further along the x 16 PCIe slot to determine what can be installed. You will need to resign it a notch or two... until you find one that matches. The CX600 Corsair is a great choice and fits, even if you can buy the place CX600M. The CX600M is modular and allows much better management of the cables and so the potential for a better air circulation.

    (2) with regard to memory, the State of the plug;

    Four DIMM DDR3 240-pin connectors
    Supports the PC3 10600 connectors DIMM DDR3 (1333 MHz)
    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered

    Then, two sets of most of these (2 x 4 GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Kits should do the trick. You can also go to the website Crucial.com and use two of their 'guaranteed compatible memory upgrade'.

    (3) your computer supports speeds SATAII (3Gbs) and this is the best it will do. However, the SATA connector is identical to what is found on a SSD SATAIII and it should be compatible with your computer.

  • How to add to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-590uk Usb 3.0

    Hi does anyone know if I can improve my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-590uk for usb 3.0 and if so could you recommend a product that I could buy to do this.  Thanks in advance.

    One of them check it:

    http://www.overclockers.co.UK/showproduct.php?ProdID=CC-003-AK

    This is to use a pci-e x 1 card. You have 2 these slots available. This will show you how do:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02255267.PDF

    See the section on the replacement of a card.

    Instead of plugging on the long black slot which is a video card plug into one of the slots black short. You have Windows 7 I think which means that you will need a driver, but that should come on a CD with the card. Will need you a power connector (molex) on the map, too.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f desktop PC

    HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f desktop PC - I would like to upgrade food, video card and hard drive. Can I use a SATA III hard drive? Can I use a 4 Gig ATI video card?

    You can use a SATA-III HDD but the 785G chipset only supports SATA-II. You won't see any difference, and the SATA-III is backward compatible. You have a 300W power supply. You can put in a better and with a minimum 500 or 600 watt PSU, you can install any videocard, pcie 16 x which will be in good physical shape. In retail offices, there is simply not as much space as in a custom build Tower and best video cards these days are huge things two locations. Don't forget, it fits with room to spare, or you will have problems of air circulation.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s: 'Secure Boot Configuration' not found?

    Hello support, I wanted to disable startup secure for my office.
    I have a pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s Bios 7.15 I followed the step of many posts, but I don't have it under the heading "security"?
    I am on window 10 64-bit UEFI.
    I wanted to disable, because I have a new GTX 960 graphics card and it stuck on the HP logo at startup all the time when I use the new card. !!

    I tried to disable the security slot, but no matter what I do I get a black screen for my card both old and new so I have to reset the bios settings.
    Help me please.

    Thanks for the additional information.

    Here is my diagnosis/notice:

    I don't think you'll be able to get the GTX 960 to work with this system.

    Why it won't work in the UEFI/GPT:

    It will not work in the UEFI [I think] 960 GTX is one card of UEFI and you must disable secure boot to make it work. Your BIOS is only "UEFI compatible" originally planned for Windows 7 [which does not support secure boot]. If you are unable to disable the secure startup, you can not use this card.

    Why it won't work in legacy/MBR:

    It won't work in legacy because it's a single card of UEFI.

    My suggestion:

    Return to the legacy/MBR and use a graphics card that has a dual BIOS BIOS/hybrid or one who supports in particular the Legacy BIOS as described in one of my previous posts.

    Some other things to consider:

    You PSU has enough power for this card? I think it takes a minimum of 400W PSU.

    You connect the auxiliary power connector?

    Have you tried to disable "Intergrated Graphics" in the BIOS [as appropriate]

    No, the GTX 950 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  There is no way to update the motherboard in the UEFI.  Latest video cards do not for UEFI were the GTX 660/670.  I suggest that you choose a manufacturer and contact their Technical Support to help them choose the best card for your system.

    You will also need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  It is only 300W.  Most newer cards require at least 400W to work properly.  Although status map specifications at least 300 w, members reported that they had at least to 400W.

    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!
