HP Pavilion Media Center a1440: HP Pavilion Media Center a1440n Desktop PC ram compatibility upgrade

Can I replace the ram (1 x pc-4200) original with 4 x1GB 240-pin DDR2 667 (PC2-5300) ECC SDRAM Desktop memory?

Eastvanray, welcome to the forum.

This is memory that is supported by the motherboard:

Four connectors DIMM DDR2 240-pin

Supports PC2-3200 (400 MHz), PC-4200 (533 MHz) and PC-5300 (667 MHz) DDR DIMM

HP/Compaq approved maximum memory is 4 GB *.

Note: * actual available memory may be less

The memory that you want to install says it is ECC.  I think that the motherboard use more memory non - ECC.  Furthermore, I believe that your OS is 32-bit.  Therefore, only 3.25 GB of memory would be usable.

    In a Slimline desktop space is quite limited, even if an SSD is format 2.5 ".

    You can probably adapt Island SSD in the Bay which was taken over by the DVD player.   Set up as startup disk so that you can enjoy the performance gain. Buy the largest capacity SSD that is in the budget to upgrade.

This card can stretch your PSU, but give it a try.  I have this card in my system of m9200t.  This card will give the treatment a real helping hand from your video.

  • How to disassemble / disassemble HP Media Center m7160n desktop

    Hi all

    I use a HP Media Center m7160n desktop computer, and recently the hard drive has been acting weird and continually gives me error e/s during startup. I read a lot of posts and tried many solutions until very recently I finally got another message at startup saying something like this: the hard drive error is iminent. Please back up the hard drive and replace it!

    Well, because the system tells me to replace the hard drive I think I should follow. However, when I removed the side cover of the Office Tower, everything is really effect. HP external USB Bay is in the way when I tried to access the hard drive, so I couldn't get out the hard drive to replace it with a new one. To be honest, I really want to delete all other parts in here without a guide, because I'm not very good with the mounting hardware. Therefore, I have to ask and see if anyone have disassemble your m7160n desktop before and could give me a practical guide so I can replace my hard drive?

    Thank you very much.

    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.

  • Pavilion dv6-3225dx: laptop fails to boot after upgrading RAM.

    Hello

    Recently, I tried upgrading my laptop RAM 8 GB which is max you may have to wait. The RAM sticks were (x 2) DDR3 4 GB Samsung 1600 12800 mhz 1.35v. The system has detected the new RAM, showed the new memory and even spent the memory test. But this isn't the windows startup. I tried to clear CMOS. But without success. Do not let me windows. BIOS version is up to date (F29). Is there any setting for this?

    Thanks for all the help!

  • 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.

    Best regards

  • Two monitors on a Pavilion 500-307 x Desktop

    I just bought a Pavilion 500-307 x Desktop and the need to run two monitors.

    The monitors have taken VGA. A monitor works fine via the VGA - DVI adapter, however attach a 2-to-1 VGA cable to the card does not work.

    Is it possible to buy a second DVI port or is there another solution?

    Sorry, I did not notice that your computer has a factory installed discrete video card. Discreet card is as follows:

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 720
    DVI (dual-link) resolution: 2560 x 1600 x 32bpp at 60 Hz
    HDMI resolution: 1920 x 1080
    VGA (via dongle) analog resolution: 2048 x 1536 x 32bpp at 60 Hz
    Support of up to two displays at the same time.

    On this basis, there are a number of ways to connect monitors to your computer. The discrete card supports DVI - D (and VGA via a dongle) and HDMI. HDMI signal is the same as DVI - D in this case.

    BETTER (recommended)

    Computer-->--> #1 monitor DVI - D cable

    --> HDMI Cable DVI - D computer--> monitor #2

    GOOD

    --> HDMI Cable DVI - D computer--> monitor #1

    Computer--> DVI - D to VGA dongle--> VGA cable--> Monitor #2

    Please help, thanks.

    You are welcome.  I'm happy to help you.

    The original video card has a switch that changes the EUFI after-effects.  Your computer has the Legacy BIOS.  The card was recommended to several members of the forum and there has been no reports of problems.  It's good that you're running Win 7.

    If you are uncomfortable with the card you can contact MSI Tech Support for help.  They are the real experts on their products and will be happy to help.  It's good to let them know that you're new on the subject of video cards.  They will understand.

    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.

    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.
