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? Those are the weak links in this computer in the measurement of performance, Windows 5.1 index. The ram has already been updated to 16G. I would use a hard drive WD Black edition.

Thank you!

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 - 500f D: SSD replacement for HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f to original desktop PC hard drive

    Hi all!

    I would like to replace the original hard drive came with my desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f with an SSD, but when I tried, I got the error message that my SSD drive was not big enough. The original hard drive is 1.35 TB. What size an SSD should be to replace the original CT 1.35 supplied with my HP so that I could use the 1.35 disc as my second drive and the ssd as my main drive?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes I think a 240 GB SSD would be sufficient.  Using the hard drive for storage is a good idea.

    These articles HOWTO HP should be useful.

    You should be able to install the SSD in the existing hard drive cage as it is put into service for three hard drives.  Use a 2.5 "to 3.5" adapter.  You also need a SATA data cable.

    Don't forget to create the external recovery media and backup your data.

  • 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.

    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!

  • Pavilion Elite HPE (HPE-210y): Travel in RAID 0

    Hi all.

    Recently, I upgraded my hard drive of 1 TB to 2 TB. I bought two hard drives of 2 TB because I planned to run RAID 1, but after that I cloned one of the 2 TB drives and removed the old 1 TB, I decided to save in a different way.   I have most of the things I wanted to back upward again on the old hard drive and another method seemed to be a better route. My uses of son for a little game and RAID 1 seemed to be struggling against productive and not as safe.

    So, I'll be able to move my new drive 2 TB in RAID 0 with my other new 2 TB drive even if I use one right now?

    Else consider this computer Noob?

    Hello

    HP's instructions for configuring RAID using the AMD RAIDXpert. Read at least twice.

    Check your BIOS settings and make sure that the SATA is set to RAID.

    I suggest you connect hard drives to ports SATA 1 and 2 (blue and white). Among the old HP AMD motherboards we're picky about which ports SATA would be supported RAID.

    BTW - RAID 1 is much more secure that it will provide redundancy in the event of a hard drive failure and RAID 0 won't.

    Hi, my system is supplied with the card mother MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E! I'm trying to see if there is an update available to the BIOS before updating my video card for GTX 970.  I already upgraded my power to 600 W for the 970. My current version of BIOS [according to Windows system] is American Megatrends Inc. 6.07 date 19/05/2010. Please help me find where I can get an update of the bios for my motherboard.

    Here is more information on my system:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-elite-HPE-300-desktop-PC-series/4162190/model/427545...

    Right now I'm really confused!

    After reading the return of Best Buy Canada policy [which gives me 14 days to return my purchased GPU]. I decided to go against the advice I got from this thread and another HP forum.

    I bought the Zotac GTX 970 at Best Buy, thinking it could be a very small chance that it will work, and if it does not work I have he's coming back!

    To my surprise after installing it, it started no problem! I installed the latest drivers from the website of Zotac and then rebooted the system, but still no problems!

    I ran all the points of reference 3-DMark, more than twice with no problems! [which is about 7 times faster than my ATI hd5770]

    Here are my results: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6457066

    I played a few minutes with the deity: sin of origin with ultra graphics to 80 FPS and still no problem!

    I also played a few minutes with supreme commander2 [game 2010 year] at 60 FPS and still no problem!

    I close on my computer about ten times, just to make sure that the system is stable and still no problems!

    Here are two pictures of my information system showing that I run the version of the BIOS HP 6 and the GTX 970!

    I only used it for two days and I hope I won't run into problems in the future!

    So my advice is to check your store for their return policy and try again the GTX 970 yourself! Don't let not the other experiences of volunteers/users HP form this discourage you from trying it!

    PS Don't forget to upgrade your block of POWER 500 W. [I mine improved 460-w 600 W Corsair]

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

    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.

  • USB ports do not respond after boot to Windows 7 - HP Pavilion Elite HPE

    I turned on a HP Pavilion Elite HPE this morning and none of the USB ports work under Windows 7.

    Mouse and USB keyboard work well in the BIOS Setup.  But after Windows starts, it is as if he found neither.

    I tried to start Windows in Safe Mode and last known good Configuration and the behavior is the same, the mouse and keyboard do not work even if they do it in the BIOS.

    I tried a different mouse and keyboard and Windows behavior is the same.

    Now, I would like to have active remote destop. Difficult to solve without an input device.

    I found a solution for Windows 7 x 64 failing to detect any USB device on all ports USB to a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f.

    After that backup, read and edit the registry remotely to run the utility of Microsoft Devcon registry run key, Devcon announce an error message 39 for USB hubs.  Enter 'Windows error 39 usb hub' in a search engine led me to the next web page that describes the resolution of the problem.

    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?

    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.
