Installation or replacement of a video card

Hi all

I met a few positions of individuals eager to upgrade or needing to replace their video card in their desktop PC. The process is pretty standard in all areas, so I thought I'd share the process with you.

This document will guide you through the process of removing the current card and install a new one.

This link will give you different advice before the upgrade, and this link will provide you with questions that you must ask yourself before you go out and buy the card physically.

I hope this useful for all the world.

  • Upgrade / replacement of the video card

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion m9000 series (9441me) and I'm having no end of trouble with the video card (GeForce 9500GS).  I heard about the HP recall and free replacement, so I took it to HP and they replaced, but shortly after, the noise started again (tapping, clicking).  I decided just to buy and install a new card and I was wondering what card would be better and compatible with my system.  I'm primarily a Linux user, so I think that Nvidia would be the card of choice.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.

  • Compaq Presario S5000T P8656Q - ABA NA310 motherboard? The information that is required for the replacement of the video card.

    My best friend has an ATI Radeon 9200 SE (Shader 1.0 / DX 8.0) and wants to run a program that requires the Shader 2.0 / DX 9 .0c

    I'll try to find a compatible video card; I don't know if the motherboard for the NA310 of P8656Q-ABA S5000T Presario is AGP 2 x or 4 x.  I tried to find on the ' net, but no luck. Graphics (Radeon 9550 for $24 again), I found is AGP 4 x / 8 x, so I don't want to buy this if the MB is only AGP 2 x.

    Also, I guess the 200/250w PSU would be sufficient for a 9550? It only uses the pc for MS Word, a bit of Youtube and 1 or 2 older games.  If not, anyone know a cheap video card which is AGP or PCI that is capable of Shader 2.0? It is for the sake of compatibility of XNA Framework.

    Thank you!

    It seems that the Compaq Presario S5000T desktop computer specifications are no longer available. With this information we can only guess what this thing has AGP connector. Based on HP and Driver Downloads page software, this model uses a 'P4SD - LA motherboard". The only problem is that the 'P4SD - LA"is available in different version at least four over time... Oxford, Cobra, Stingray, Yale, etc.. The good news is that it seems all support at least an AGP 4 x connector and most support a 4 x / 8 x slot.

  • Tinton blue monitor / video card replacement

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion a1710n Desktop PC running Windows Vista. Recently, my screen has a blue tint to it. I tried different cables and monitor and no change. Some colors are not what they should like red are black, green or brown. I read that the video may be just bad or even worse, the motherboard. My question is, can I replace the video card and install it on one of the slots? And if I could, what advice or recommendations on the replacement of the video card? Which model would work with my tour?

    Thank you, moisesrntr

    Thank you for the additional information.

    Here is a card that should work for you.  It is very difficult to find a card that requires less 400W.  The one in the link requires 300W or more.  If you don't buy it, you can use it as an example of what you need.

    Operationally, the laptop works, but defines 256 MB memory of 512 possible. If I understand this restriction is set in the BIOS or VideoBIOS.

    Please, quick like me to solve this problem, any special version can eat BIOS for the increase in video memory.

    If a person make the decision to do this update is on own risk.

  • Upgrading the video card to have both HDMI and DVI

    I just bought a model 700-327c HP Envy.  I need to update my video card to have the two HDMI and DVI on the same card.  Y at - it all the features that I need to worry about replacing my existing video card?

    Yes, it is certainly an option.  Here is an example of an adapter that you could use.  There are 2 ports USB 3.0 on the back i/o ports.

    There are others that can add up to 6 monitors to a single computer.  I am not sure that this would not require an upgrade of the power supply, however.

  • Dimension E510 video card upgrade

    Hello

    I apologize if this isn't the place to ask this question, because I'm not too familiar with the forums.

    I am currently using a fairly old Dell Dimension E510 system and hoped to upgrade the video card.  I googled under and turned off for a while now, hoping to find an answer today, but most of the results seem to date several years with links to maps is no longer in stock.  Knowing little about video cards, if someone here could offer advice on a replacement that will last me until I have buy a new PC later in the year, I would really appreciate it.

    My system features:

    Size of Windows 7 desktop computer E510
    Processor Pentium IV - 3.0 GHZ
    4 GB of RAM (3.5 usable)
    Power 460 w (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002G1YPHK)
    Radeon X 300/X 550/X 1050 video card (chip Type: Radeon X 600 Pro)

    If he has more information required of it, I'd be happy to try to provide it.  I think that the graphics card uses PCI Express, but to be honest, don't really know how to check if it is 1.0 or 2.0 or 2.1 (or what it really means).

    With respect to a replacement of the video card, I mean really something sharp.  I imagine that the system he could not handle anyway.  I do a lot of games on the PC.  For most of World of Warcraft, which I would like to run a bit more smoothly.  It would be also nice to watch videos 1080 on YouTube without stutter constantly, but I don't know how much this has to do with the graphics card and how much has to do with her being just a really old computer.

    I would like to spend less than $100 to replace, if possible.  As I said, I plan on getting a new machine later in the year, and it's more a stopgap solution until then.  Still, I obviously prefer the best shot for my money.

    I was looking on Amazon, but I don't know if they are to be considered:
    -http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-nVidia-GeForce-PCI-Express-01G-P3-N988-TR/dp/B0032W602A
    -http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Mini-HDMI-Graphics-01G-P3-1526-KR/dp/B00549HZ7S
    -http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-100292DDR3L/dp/B004N3BH0C

    The last seems to his price is great, but I know there are problems of compatibility with PCIE 2.1 and do not know if that would come with my system.

    Thank you all for reading and for advice, suggestions or any help that you can offer.

    -Joseph

    I would forget the last one (HD 5450).  Very low end and not much better considered as the new HD integrated graphics on computers today.  Also, forget the old 9800 GT.  It is not at all sharp.  Version 2.1 is compatible on motherboards 1.0, which is probably what you have.  If you play WOW, I would not go with the GT 520 either because it is very low end for any type of games.  I would watch the HD 6670 if you want something reasonable in cost and will perform well enough for WOW.  Your old Pentium 4 is just holding you back, however.  Here's a couple to watch and I don't think you need to spend more than one.

  • HP 6005 Pro SFF: Replace video card ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics upgrade for HP 6005 Pro SFF

    I have a HP 6005 Pro SFF with a 240W PS, and I want to upgrade the video card.  It has an ATI Radeon HD 4200.    An HP Forum person (Paul Tikkanen) recommended an upgrade for a 6005 using a video card optional for the HP 6200 Pro SFF:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814121439&cm_re=hd_6450-_-14-121-439-_-product

    Please confirm it also works for the 6005.  If I replace it, can I actually remove the Radeon 4200 and replace it directly at the space of the same card mother slot to save space of PCI Expansion slot, or do I use the expansion PCI Express 16 x slot?   If so, is the procedure for the direct replacement documented anywhere?

    Hello:

    The ATI Radeon HD 4200 Video on your PC is the graphics chip integrated according to page 14 of the quickspecs at the link below. In other words, the graphics card is a chip that is soldered to the motherboard.  It is not in an expansion slot.

    http://static.highspeedbackbone.NET/PDF/HP%20Compaq%206005%20PRO%20Business%20pc%20Quick%20Specs.PDF

    The dedicated PCI express x 16 slot should be empty now, and this is where you install the card I have recommended.

    I don't see why the HD 6450 work.  It works in the dc7800, dc7900, Pro 6000, 6200 pro, 8000 Elite, Elite 8100 and 8200 Elite business desktop PC.

    You just need to make sure that uninstall you the HD 4200 graphics card and the driver in Device Manager.  Also check the uninstalling the driver box.

    Also uninstall catalyst control center software in the Add/Remove programs in the control panel section, stop and disconnect the PC, install your new video card and the driver for the 6450.

    Here is the link to the service manual. See Chapter 2 pp 20-25 for the installation procedures card expansion, paying special attention to the info of PCIe x 16 slot.

  • Motherboard, after market video card replacement or owners of HP?

    I have a Presario SR1610NX desktop she waved, fragile, wobbly, lines (get a) on the screen.

    I tried everything, I say all reasonable to try to fix it and failed.

    Now, I try to replace some hardware to save this beast.

    If I go with replacement / without going through the integrated graphical subsystem: ATi Radeon Xpress 200

    I wonder if I can add any brand pci-e 16 x card or that HP is going to require a

    card owner (as I've seen cards with HP in the title, I hope not)?

    I could also just put in a new (mobo / motherboard / motherboard):

    I also wonder if any micro ATX mainboard may be slapped

    (of course that's all I need for system box)

    or the system (my hard drive) will not recognize anything but the original mobo?

    HP/Compaq adds or tweek the mobo, maybe something in the bios? I would like to Flash the

    BIOS from HP after installation?  I have replace mothers before but

    only on systems I've built and not on a large computer brand.

    MSI MS-7184 SOCKET 939 and Compaq calls AmethystM-GL6E.

    The same thing right?

    Anyone who has made alterations on a Compaq with material aftermaket mobo please give

    me a leg up. Thank you

    If it's right for your platform page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00472088

    Who says that your computer was released in 2005 and was minimual material, even for the time.  If you plan to try to get this fixed with a video card, then you can go with a relatively low-end PCI-e card without any problems, but whatever it is in the nature of game would probably require a new PSU as says dmhoo29.  Light that you use onbaord graphics though, I guess you're not game.

    Change the motherboard is probably not worth it unless you can get a direct replacement for this: name of the motherboard: name card mother MS-7184 HP / Compaq: AmethystM-GL6E.    From a computer used like on EBay or a friend.  And most likely the recovery/reinstall disk for the operating system won't work and you need a retail version of XP.

    First, borrow a monitor and/or video card to a friend to see if that helps before I ask a lot of money.

    Hello

    Consult this publication of the article.

    There are two updates of BIOS for your PC.  You apply them?  You will need to disable secure boot and enable the legacy mode to do so.  See the links below.
