• Dimension 2400, adding a video card

  Hello

  I'm new to this discussion and just hope I am posting this in the correct place. I have an older Dell Dimension 2400 with an integrated video card. I'm running 2 monitors. Problem is that when I install the video card, VGA - slot PCI, the machine loads, see the new map, then flashes all for sure!

  Is there a jumper on the motherboard that should be placed or a setting in the BIOS/setting (looked everywhere here), that I need?

  Thx for the help and time with this frustrating problem to anyone. I ran 2 monitors on all of my machines simply by adding the video card, but not this machine.

  It is running Win XP Professional.

  Michael

  The Dimension 2400 BIOS default setup an Auto setting for the video.  If you must have both integrated and the functional PCI card, you must go to the system configuration (F2 during the self-test after the start-up of the machine) and change the setting on board to force the computer to send video to the built-in port.

• My Alien Autopsy comprehensive system Tests show a ' Failed WVC07-LB8 ' video card failure, but I can't find any mention of this code error or failure anywhere

  My Alien Autopsy comprehensive system Tests show a ' Failed WVC07-LB8 ' video card failure, but I can't find any reference to this error code or failure anywhere, either in the "help", on Microsoft Support sites, or on the community boards.

  I have updated all drivers for this graphics card (AMD Radeon HD series 7900) and all the surrounding drivers with the AMD software.

  I can't find any information, so I don't know if I should get a new video card (which seems to work very well) or if I should just ignore it.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  As you mentioned that you have already updated the AMD graphics card drivers, could you let us know if you see any exclaimation or any error in the device under graphics card Manager?

  Are you facing any problem with your graphics card, video, or your screen resolution?

  As Alien Autopsy Global System Tests showed you the error, I suggest you to get tap dell JDM for more support asiistance if you have any problem with Yon graphics/video card or screen resolution.

  For your information: once you uninstall your graphics card drivers, windows has its own built-in drivers that will automatically charge the generic drivers. If in case it does not load you can search the hardware changes, this will probably load the generic drivers.

• P7-1414, adding a video card

  I would add a PNY NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 610 graphics card to this computer. It requires only a 300W PSU, so I should be good in this regard. I was in the bios but does not know how to disable the onboard video. the system runs Win8 and has 8 G of ram. Any ideas?

  The BIOS automatically disables the embedded video when it detects a properly installed and powered in the PCIe x 16 slot discrete video card. In addition, you will need to ACTIVATE 'Secure Boot' and 'Legacy Support' in the BIOS before the computer will start with a video cardinstalled compatible no UEFI.

  Before installing new video card, make your changes in the BIOS and turn off the computer. Then, install the video card and turn on the computer.

  Please see HP PC desktop - computer does not boot after installing a video (Windows 8) card for more information on the subject.

• Adding a video card in a hp pavilion p6620f with a card mother n-alvorix-rs880-formfat (alvorix)

  I want to replace the video edge in this computer with a video card. I want to use a card geforce n210 1 gb ddr3 pci express dvi/hdmi. Anyone know if it will work. It seems that this is what I see so far, but I'm not a computer person. I want to be able to put a tc in my TV and be able to play some of the new games.  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  The graphics card must be a PCIE x 16 compatible (for the expansion on the motherboard slot) one. Geforce n210 will definitely work, because it's a pcie x 16 card compatible USB2.0. You have a desktop computer, then that means that any pcie 2.0 x 16 graphics card might work and it's always on your wallet and the power of the power supply.

• Adding a video card second second opinion of monitor

  I have a HP Pavilion HPE h8 model - 1360t.  It has a Radeon HD 7550 video card.  I would like to add a second monitor and I need a second video card.  It must be a PCI Express x 16.  Can I use an old Series 6000 Radeon card or need a newer series 7000.  I was chatting with a tech support and asked him and he gave me 4 cards of the hd series 7000 I could use.  But I can not find but one of them and I would go less if possible.

  If they are monitors Dell 1901fp, they support the VGA and DVI - D. Please check that there is VGA and DVI - D time ports. Your card will work without needing to be replaced. Connect as follows:

  Computer > DVI - D cable > monitor #1

  Technology > cable HDMI-DVI > Monitor #2

• Can I install a 1 GB video card and still be able to run Windows Vista?

  Original title: need information about my os/graphics card...
  Hello! I have a problem with my gfx
  I want to buy a new video card in my computer. I am running Windows Vista 32-bit, and here is the 'problem '.
  I currently have 3 GB of RAM installed and according to this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605/en-us Vista is limited to 3.12 GB. If I had to buy a new video card with 1 GB of memory, this memory limit for Windows Vista to use for other programs to 2 GB and Vista would be still able to use the / 3GB for other tasks and then the 1 extra GB for video work?
  Thank you!

  Video RAM is separate, but some cards also use the system to 'boost' memory capacity.  You cal telll them because they will say memory share as apposed to discreet.

• Please help me with the video card and power supply issues!

  Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I'll try and do a short explanation, but I can't promise anything. I bought an a6620f Pavilion about 2 months ago I didn't know that you had to purchase a special hardware in order to play video games. In any case, I bought about 300.00 worth of new video games and none of them works. they say because of my video card. Then try to buy a new video card and it won't work because I only have a 250 watt power supply. I spoke with a hp technician before you buy a PSU and I was told that my motherboard was only designed to use a 300 watt max power I tried to buy one at best buy and the clerk said 4500 is the smallest they sell. and I need at least a 400 Watt or powerrsupply to make the new video card with a value of buyiong. My questuion is what can I do if I can't buy one more big power supply how can I install a new video casrd? Please help me I'm lost

  Hi chefinomaha,

  Sorry to hear about your frustration. Here's some good news.

  I think you have been misinformed or there was a communication error. Your motherboard should not be limited to the only 300W. I don't know with certainty how high you can go in watts, but you can go higher and should go higher, if you add a video card.

  The important thing is to get the right kind of diet that fits your connectors.

  Here's your motherboard page.

  Here is a document with step-by-step instructions and video for adding a video card.

• Add video card model HP Pavilion 500-217

  I have a Pavilion model 500-217 with integrated graphics running Windows 8.1.  I am trying to add a graphics (MSI Geoforce GT 730) but the computer is not see it.  Put in the new card into the slot of the PCE (the only one on the motherboard), I do not know of riders or swithces that must be addressed.  Graphs can be upgraded?  And if so, what am I doing wrong?

  Hello:

  Have you changed the 2 BIOS settings must be changed so that you added the video card?

  If this isn't the case, please see the info on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03653200

  If you did (or if you didn't, but then changed the BIOS settings) and the card still does not, unfortunately, I don't know what could be the issue.

• Pavilion H8 - 1287c: is the Pavilion H8 - compatible video card EVGA GTX 970 1287c

  I improved the diet of a CX750 Corsair of the 500W this desktop computer comes with the factory.  I was aware before you buy the video card POWER supply might be a limitation.

  With the previous BIOS (7.09) I have tried several things as shown below.  I've always had to a screen where it would beep three times with 10-20 seconds between each beep then it would go to a black screen with a blinking cursor, but you couldn't do anything.

  toggling SERR # generation

  It is a pain to change the bias, I have need to use the original video card, then replace it with the GTX 970 to see if it worked.

  I called EVGA and they recommended upgrading the BIOS, so I've updated to 8.21.  When the power nothing happens now.  The LCD even lights.  Secure boot is disabled.

  I contacted EVGA, once more and they said I had to contact HP to determine if the computer is compatible with their video card.  This is necessary to receive an RMA number.

  Hello

  First, change the BIOS settings that you changed will do more harm than good.  Change these settings back

  Remove the graphics card and connect the monitor to the motherboard. Your PC starts with the video? If so, then open the command RUN and enter: MSINFO32

• PC does not recognize video card

  I had bought an EVGA Geforce GT610 graphics card and installed in my HP Pavilion 500 - 54 (Windows OS 8.1). When I tried to install the video drivers (latest drivers from EVGA) for the new video card I received a message as the "graphics driver cannot find compatible devices. Also the new map did not appear anywhere in the graphics card or anywhere in the Device Manager. I've disabled the secure boot mode and disabled slot security legacy for the pci slot where the video card. Yet I still can't the PC to recognize the video card (which is compatible with this system). I tried to uninstall the pilots on board, but that did not help. The PC should recognize the video card, when he was put in the x 16 pci slot. Someone has or has had this problem and have you found a solution to the problem. And Yes, I have tried the card in another PC and it works fine. I have exhausted all avenues of solution up to now and still can not solve this problem. Any advice or fixes will be greatly appreciated.

  Only, I solved the problem. It turns out that the instructions on adding a video card failed a defintely detail to include.  As well as strives mode, you need to go into the boot settings and select legacy boot.  I thought that ithat legacy mode automatically would have done, but I shouldn't assume. All is well now. It detected the video card and drivers have been installed. Thanks for the suggestions. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

• ThinkCentre m91p 7033 D 54 Add video card

  Hi all!

  I got a plug from the Tower of 7033d 54 m91p and was looking online everywhere to see if I could add a video card to this computer. I know that there are other posts on m91ps in discussing the range of the ati HD6600 series to the 7700 s but I wanted to be safer for the sake of my own computer. If someone has or had a thinkcentre m91p 7033d 54 (since there are several models of the m91p, I suspected that energy consumption is different), please let me know if you have added a video card! or... If anyone is familiar with this model of the m91p, please help me! I realize, because it is a tower compact that I would need a small and discreet video card. Thank you!

  To be clear on terminology, your model is a Small Form Factor, SFF (the tower is a different model).

  7750 is the best graphics card available (a 6670 also works, but has worst heat and lower performance). You will need a low card profile, and measure the length available, as it will be too tight. Get the one with the biggest fan, it will cool better with less noise. The PSU is a custom size and not easy to upgrade.

  I use AMD Catalyst 13.4, it is solid. Monitor system and GPU time during the game, you may need to remove the cover from the pci beside the GPU for ventilation slot.

  Be the latest updates of BIOS, Lenovo and MSFT.
