HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t CTO: compatibility problems, ask questions about knitting-by-turn or possible motherboard replacement.

I recently baught an EVGA GTX 1060, as this 630 became quite long in the tooth and I thought that I would try to future proof myself a little as the rest of my components seem to be working very well.  However, I can't get the map to work correctly on this particular computer.  Oddly enough, I can get past that screen startup finally after several short beeps and let it sit, but it takes fowever to reach the office and clearly is not executed properly that the resolution is wobbly and software from Nvidia cannot even detect the card.  I guess I had got this far because of the onboard graphics of some sort, but AFAIK this motherboard which lacks.

I know that the card works fine as I tested it in my other Tower, so I struggled to find a solution.  So far, it seems that the problem is most likely the motherboard, as HP does not have a new BIOS for it since the beginning of 2013 (which I did go ahead and install it).  If true, I find myself with either two options, it seems that the ditch system, entirely or find a motherboard that works with all my old components.  I'd rather not have to empty this workaholic, when all other parts work great, if it is not a work around I would like to know if there are motherboards I could pass that would work with the rest of my components.  Normally I would not bother with even apply for, but I hear a lot of chatter on HP PCs pre-constructed having compatibility problems.

I bought this computer there is in the case of four years that I would be able to update as I do with any other PC, but I didn't know at the time that HP has a tendency to not update the BIOS settings for anything beyond a year which I admit is incredibly frustrating.  What is done is done however, and I want to make this work without having to clear the entire system.

@Faver, welcome to the forum.

Your problem is the BIOS.  However, it is because the 1060 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The BIOS may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last cards only not for UEFI were the GTX 660/670.

MSI made cards with a switch that can be used with a Legacy BIOS or UEFI.  If you decide to go this way, you must contact their Technical Support to help them choose the best card for your system.

The upgrade of the motherboard can be a problem.  HP has taken advice their specifications.  Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as the commercial versions.  Please make sure that the holes in the motherboard matches the accessory in the case.  In addition, some members have had problems with the connectors in the connections case before, for example, the power button.

  • Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t: video card upgrade for Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t

    Hi all

    I recently bought a map GTX1060 (from a MSI GeForce GT640) 4 year old GPU from nVidia in line in order to improve the capacity of my machine so that I would be able to play Fallout 4 and 3 Witcher (both put my poor old GT640 kneeling - even on lower resolution settings).  It is part of the case and the powers that be (Yes, I plug in the connector 6-pin PSU) and 600W POWER supply is adequate for the task, but I'm starting to think that I probably have a motherboard compatibility issue.

    When I install the card and turn on the PC, it hangs at the splash screen of installation (a common problem from what I've already read on these forums) and that it goes no further (keyboard and mouse do not respond at this time here).  I contacted the nVidia support, and they suggested some changes to the BIOS (disable Secure Boot, activate the Legacy/MSC Mode and switching between legacy and UEFI BIOS selection Mode), but when I access the HP configuration utility (F10 on boot to top with GT640 card installed), these options are not put at my disposal.

    Is it possible for me to access the BIOS settings that nVidia has indicated I should be adjusted?

    This GPU card simply is not at all compatible with my motherboard?

    System Specs:

    HP model number: B4J28AV #ABA (Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t)

    Motherboard: Pegatron 2ACE(Socket 0); 1.08; Intel Sandy Bridge-E Rev. 07; Intel Southbridge X 79 Rev 05

    BIOS: FRIEND 7.15

    CPU: Intel Core i7 3930 K (3.2 GHz)

    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1

    Current GPU: MSI GeForce GT640; Driver 10.18.13.6881

    If the GTX1060 is not compatible, which is the highest card GPU nVidia performance that can be used with this motherboard (given the limitation of power supply 600W)?

    Is there another motherboard for this machine which would be compatible with my existing CPU and the GTX1060?

    Thanks for your help...

    Hello

    The h8 1380t has a Pegatron motherboard 'Pittsburgh '.

    You could try to find a future revision of this motherboard. I'm also a 810-150se with a map of the 'Pittsburgh2' system that has UEFI. I use a card Nvidia GTX EVGA FTW 970 with excellent results.

    You will need to check that the Review Board would fit in your frame.

    The other options are:

    1.new want to expedition with Win 7 Pro, or

    2 falcon Northwest.

    In a map of the main current system the permutation of Asus, Gigabyte or Asrock is difficult at best. You have to change other components such as the processor, heat sink, fan and the memory. You can probably buy an OEM of Windows 7 Pro version.

    It becomes quite expensive when you do the math on all of the changes you will have to do. There is no guarantee that you can find a map of the main current system having the correct spacers for your chassis h8 - 1380t.

    Avoid a Skylake processor if you can unless you don't mind jumping through a few extra hoops to install Win 7.

    Please consult this article and go here for the workaround resolved the problem installing win 7.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1010t CTO D: the GPU upgrade, now the PC will be unbootable, or even POST

    I visit my father. We strive to upgrade the GPU in its Pavilion from HP running Windows 7.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-HPE-H8-1000-desktop-PC-series/5080764/model/5140202

    The PC was shipped originally with a GPU Radeon HD 6450 (1 GB). It has only 2 video, outputs and he wanted to add a third monitor. I recommended he buy a new GPU. He bought a 260 X XFX R7.

    http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/.../AMD-Radeon-R7-260x-core-Edition-R7-260x-cnf4

    Also, we went to electronics, Fry's and bought a new power supply, a N500 Lepa, which is a power of 500w. We have successfully installed your new diet.

    Now, when I removed the old GPU, and put in the new GPU, PC turns on, the Red led light on the front comes on and stay red, but the PC unbootable. The screen is black, and it is not initialized.

    I once forgot to connect the power supply to the GPU. That day the PC started to boot the system & I was able to use logmein remote inside to turn it off, but once the machine was turned off again and I plugged the power of pin PCIexpress 6 pay-per-view, same behavior. PC is out of warranty w / HP, so that they are without help.

    I went to the website of HP and the BIOS update. still no luck.

    We have added some third-party RAM. I tried to remove the third-party RAM to see if it was the question. Does not solve it. I tried to remove the OEM ram and install just the 3rd part of RAM, but has not made a difference either.

    There is not BIOS version 8 available. Your situation is not a happy scenerio.

  • You need 2 TB 2nd hdd on Pavilion hpe h8 - 1380t so I can clone main drive. Problems?

    I need to spend my second hdd to a 2 TB drive, so I can clone main drive.  Are there compatibility issues, that I need to know?

    It should not be. A 2 TB drive is an option on this model. If it will not be the main disk where the OS is installed, then the only real problem in that you should have to run is to find an additional SATA cable.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8-1200z CTO: update Win10 support video card power not on

    I need to upgrade to Win10. The current GeForce 7500 video in my HP Pavilion H8 1200z is not supported, and Nvidia is not writing a new driver for it.

    I bought a PowerColor Radeon HD5450 1 GB which is supported by Win10.

    My system will not produce any video when turned on after installing the HD5450 video card.

    There was a suggestion elsewhere on the web that I may need to update the MB BIOS to take in charge this "so-called" compatible PCIe card back.

    There is no latest BIOS listed on the site of HP for this Gigabyte MB support.

    Is it possible to get this video update of work in my PC?

    Yes, I'm puzzled as to why it doesn't work anymore.  Maybe try a Geforce 5 * series or 6 * series card that also supports Windows 10.  The real card that has begun is problem is not a great artist, then maybe a lower in the 5 * or Geforce card 6 * series will do.

  • Pavilion HPE h8-1330z CTO: video card dying fan, tried to replace the card, the computer does not start

    This Pavilion comes preinstalled with a nVidia GeForce GT 630 graphics card. The fan on the card goes bad - the card smells "burny" when I run, the fan works really hard and the computer crashes while playing graphics-heavy games.

    I tried replacing a PNY Verto GeForce GT 730 2048 MB DDR3 card. But now, with the Verto installed, my flag starts, it crashes just on the HP splash screen. I can not start safe mode nor can I access the BIOS settings.

    Care of the Verto seemed to think it would work in my Pavilion - PCIe 2.0, at least 300W PSU. I searched online for help but can't find a solution for my problem.

    Any tips?

    I checked the support page for my Pavlillion and I noticed a updated driver for my computer's BIOS. I installed and it seems to have solved the problem.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1260t CTO: stuck at the screen with the words "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom

    I unplugged the graphics card to clean dust. After that I connected everything again, he stuck to the blue screen with the words "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom. If I press ESC at the beginning, it will go to a black screen and it will show the basic information of the computer (information about the processor and memory). It also show this black screen, "Press ESC for Boot Menu" on the bottom and it will show "Start menu" in the lower right corner. If I press F8 at the beginning, it's going to be the same black screen, but it does not "Start menu" show in the lower right. If I press F10 at the beginning, it will go to the same black screen, and it will show "setup" in the lower right. Can someone help me solve this problem? And thank you very much!

    So I suggest to look at the following and try to 'Clear the CMOS settings' as described at the bottom of the page: HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - specifications of the motherboard, IPISB-CH2 (Chicago).  Then see if there is no change at all.  If there is no improvement, then use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp, fill in the form, create a folder for your question and then use the information to contact HP.

    #HPExpertDay

    Yes, you can add USB 3.0, but it would work in 2.0 as the motherboard must be able to do.

    So you would need a powered USB hub.

  • Some problems and questions about StorE TV

    Hello! I bought stor.e tv a week ago and there are a number of issues, in order of personal importance:

    1. it slows down audio playback. It happens when the standard reading mp.3s on my stereo via the analog output - my music sounds weird, slow and with a reduced frequency. I have to go back change, the exit HDMI (normal speed part, no problem), then change new analog, navigate through folders to find the song I want to play and replay - voila, it works normally. Altogether in a complex way to play a song correctly, you do not?
    2. when there are ID tags (especially album covers) to the songs it takes forever to go from one song to the next.
    3 audio settings are often forgotten after the device has been stopped normally remote control only - you turn it on again and is not how I left it, but back to HDMI. So, I recall at any time check the settings before playing a song? Even if, in a tortuous path, that ^ s have useful to the problem of the mind 1.
    4. do not display correctly Cyrillic subtitles.
    5 pretty hot.
    There are other things, too (no playlists, not slow, slow to develop, etc.). I'm actually writing than just before you go back to the shop and ask for my money back.

    Bravo, guys!

    Hello

    > 4. Does not display correctly Cyrillic subtitles.
    Yes, has been mentioned in other threads seems that not all the subtitles are supported.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=51945

    With regard to other issues.
    I think that you should try to reset the store default TV E again and should check how it works.
    In many cases, it helps to solve these annoying problems.

  • Questions about circuit RC phase difference (possible timing problem)

    Hello

    Here is the program that I use to measure the phase difference in an RC circuit. Simply generate a sine wave of 2 kHz in LabView and send it to the circuit using an analog output. Then I measure the exit sinusoid using an analog output. I also measure using n oscilliscope. I can clearly measure the difference in phase with the oscilliscope and know that it is about 1.4 radians.

    Problems with the program:
    Phase difference different measured each time the program is run for the circuit. It is never as good.

    Possible causes:

    You will notice by looking at the vi that I measure the phase from the signal generator. Can I use a second analog input to measure the sine wave, as it came out at the beginning of the circuit?

    I think it's a timing issue. While the phase difference is constant each time the program varies each track. So the time that each measurement of tone starts its first measure seems to be different every time and causes this reading of different phase.

    The card that I use is a PCI-6221, is there a timing problem associated with switch for input and output audio acquistion or are they separated.

    Is anyway to ensure that two key measures measure phase at the same point in the (real) time?

    I would really advice or changes to the program - could someone offer me (I am a student and LabVIEW is not on our program so I have no support, but I use it for my project (OH!))

    I would certainly acquire two signals.  Food for the analog output right back into an analog input, then your signals filtered in another.

    Initially, I would feed the two analog inputs of the analog output and measure the delay in phase due to the multiplexed A/D on map.  Once you have this measure, you can feed in the filtered signal and then measure the difference of phase of this signal.

Indicators of volume in the sound mixer fader shows the sound creation application and the potentiometer main system providing sound, but I get nothing. Spotify and itunes and all the other apps as well as prompts system sound fine simultaneously while applying Bovada is silent. (Bovada) they know nothing to cause this and say if mixer audio fader shows her, I should hear it and believe it's a matter of winning 8 or HP somehow? !! ?? Help, please!
