HP27vc: Tech Support a severe disappointment - the HP monitor drivers
So, I bought this monitor at Staples last weekend. I installed and also the HP Support Assistant. When you're done, I then found that I was still operating under the generic "pnp monitor" driver Windows.
HP Support Assistant was no help at all - he could not recognize that I am using a HP monitor.
So I called HP Tech support today - as it turns out, it is offshore support. After finally convincing that I indeed had a HP device that was under warranty, I was connected with another offshore technician, who proceeded to 'teach me' there is no HP DRIVERS - all use generic drivers. At this point, I realized that I was being quite a lot of manure of cattle. When I asked why HP Support Assistant did not see the monitor on my system, he said that it was not supposed to see the monitor, only the pc mainframe. I told her that it was not very helpful and ended the call.
So I dug even more, and of course, I found HP27vc LCD Monitor driver, sp73128.exe. I installed this and now my monitor is running with the HP driver and not the generic.
I checked HP Support Assistant once again, who wondered if the correct driver has been installed now, he can now see the monitor, but alas, he still does not see it.
Is it worth keeping this HP Support Assistant installed? I mean, because he does not see the monitor, how can it be of any use to me?
Any comments or thoughts appreciated

Hello:
I guess you can get all kinds of divergent opinions about the usefulness of the software HP Support Assistant (HPSA).
It is one of the first programs I uninstall when I have a PC HP.
You have found, you can check the support page for your HP product for new drivers (or drivers in general).
One of the things that scares me is that some people have the software HPSA runs automatically, and it will download and install software updates without knowing the user.
This can be particularly dangerous if it downloads and installs an update of the BIOS for the PC, and work on the PC during this process. Not sure yet it is running, or casually reject all notifications that you are busy (I do this at the time), and if you close your PC for an update of the BIOS, you end up with a dead PC.
I read a few forum posts where that happened indeed a few people unhappy.
You can set the program to you not inform that, and then you choose when and which updates to install.
I just get rid of it... one more application running in background to slow down your PC.
Use the utilities to clean and optimize disk at least once a month to keep your PC works well.

iMac 27 "with the second monitor boots black with cursor
I can't seem to find another discussion altogether as my problem starting special 'black screen ':
New iMac 27 "retina 5K (end of 2015) running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 with second monitor Samsung connected by Mini DP - DVI. When starting, the two screens are displayed in black, but the cursor is available and can be moved.
I have to make a hard stop and disconnect the second monitor to start at the login screen. Then I can reconnect the monitor and everything works.
Any suggestions for a fix?
So, I spent some time with Apple customer support. Several of the standard troubleshooting for problems of mystery, they came to the conclusion that there was an incompatibility of driver with the Samsung monitor at startup which is mucking things up, and I just have to accept starting with the second disconnected monitor then plug it in again after a successful login.
Samsung does not write the monitor for Mac drivers (for some reason any), that's why the customer support figures that there is a hangup at startup. But why OS X recognize the monitor and run fine otherwise? Why only hang at boot time? And why my Mac Book Pro 2007 running the same version of El Capitan boot fine with the connected monitor? It has something to do with the Thunderbolt/mini-DP-to-DVI connection? I don't know, and I guess that Apple's Support is not either.
I fell on a hack, which is as follows:
1. start with the second monitor connected
2. in the "black screen with cursor" hold the power button quite long to put the computer to sleep
3 wake up the computer with the keyboard or trackpad or other
4 and now the login screen will appear.
5 log in as usual.
6.
I hope this helps someone. One day I'll get a more compatible monitor and it will not be a Samsung.
They make nice dish, however.

Given the run around by Tech Support
I initially contacted Dell technical support on February 6, 2016. I was told that the problem I saw with the GPU means the tech must be returned for repair. After 5 weeks to be passed around between different support groups and fill in many forms of different warranty transfer (I bought the XPS 15 9550 system in question on the Microsoft Store and in time, it is around the age of 2 months). I'm stuck now entirely.
I was told the last rep, I talked to (which is a sort of climbing team) that guarantee is now transferred and I have to call the tech support number. I did, just to be told that they cannot possibly do anything and that I must contact the rep who told me to call them. I sent the rep who told me to contact support again and he has not responded to me.
So right now, I'm totally stuck, no one can help me and I have a broken computer that I had now sat here for almost 6 weeks and I'm afraid to use it because I don't know what could happen.
After calling 6 times more they say they will do something.

How to read the papers of ucs tech support
Hi team
Can you please tell me how to read the newspapers of ucs tech support to find out hardware problems
Greetings.
Your question is probably something that is difficult to address in this format.
Hardware and firmware is so rapidly changing, so are the various capabilities of diagnosis (and how, when, where they write to newspapers). I think that it would be virtually impossible to maintain a full guide updated content of tech support file and how to interpret them.
That being said, there are some more frequent for both blade/UCSM and stand alone C series servers such as SALT that connects usually record the major mistakes such as chess DIMM, HD failures, etc.
There are general troubleshooting guides such as http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ts/guide/UCSTroubleshooting/UCSTroubleshooting_chapter_0111.html
There are also courses that correspond to the review DCUCT 642 - 035 http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/exams/current-list/dcuct.html entering some details by looking at newspapers, among other things.
Is there some hardware problems that you try searching? You have some sort of polling app that parses the files you are trying to Setup alerts for, etc.?
Thank you

Once you remove the record of caps, CC app will list Apps with button install because there is no information concerning the installation of the CC apps because the Media.db file will be deleted with it.
