Media Center PC M8120N: m8120n + video card

I know that she is an old PC, but it's a beast and I love it. We have been through a lot!

So my video card old (er) a Geforce 9800 GT 1 GB, PCIe 2.0 gave the soul (grated fan roll).  Got a new Geforce 730 GT, 2 GB, PCIe 2.0. I get the video at startup (see initial logo card etc) and when Vista is finished loading, go to Device Manager, system, he can't see 'standard VGA' display with an exclamation point and can't find the drivers or the card geforce 730.

I checked the Bios settings and set to PCIe instead of PCI - I don't think there are other video settings that I can adjust elsware (that I know) and the Bios is to 5.09, which I think is the 'last and only' last and best. I guess there's a chipset who does not like the MOBO on the new map, which would really suck!

My last ditch effort is to blow Vista away (maybe a driver issue Windows) and install fees, he needs anyway...

Even is it's bad news, thanks in advance for your comments...

You are the very welcome.

Pretty well, I thought it was the question.

Have you just remove and replace the video card, and if you had been able to uninstall the old video card and drivers in Device Manager, you may not have had to go through the hassle of reinstall.

But now you have the advantage of a beautiful new installation of Vista and a new video card to get started.

I had to do once me when the drivers would be in any way, shape or install a card Radeon HD 2400, I once installed in an old PC.

Bluff and reinstalled the OS, and everything was fine.

Enjoy!

  • Cannot play MPEG-4 video in Windows Media Player or Media Center from my Flip Video Camcorder

    I use Win 7 with Windows Media Player 12 and when I try to play a Flip Video camcorder, which is an MPEG-4 format, I get the error "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem while playing the file."

    I then help the option to select Web and it takes me a Microsoft page that describes the C00D11B1 error code.  Who has no sense to me because it speaks to my sound card and I can't read thie videos no problem via the Flip Video software supplied with the camcorder.

    I was under the impression that WMP 12 taken supported MPEG-4.  Also get the Error tyring to play videos through Media Center.   Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I use Win 7 7600 version 6.1

    I guess that the Flip Video software used a codec that is not Media Player. I was looking at the setting for the camera to see if it will save in another format.

  • Qosmio G20 Media Center crashes when using video or TV

    Since April 2006 whenever I try to use the Media Center it crashes when I try to play a DVD or to use the TV. It seems to be a video display problem.
    Can someone advise me on this?

    Hello

    This problem occurs since the first day of the purchase of the laptop?
    Did you install any codec's or 3rd applications?
    It's not easy to say why it happens, but if you think that it s a display driver problem then you can try to update the graphics driver.
    If it doesn t help it would be very interesting to know if this happens on the laptop picked up fresh.

  • Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

    I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

    -Slick05_1

    Hi Slick05_1,

    Thanks for the replies on the forum.

    Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

    What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

    WARNING:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

    Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

    Best regards

  • How to get Vista Windows Media Center to really stop video

    During playback of a video in WMC the stop button takes me to the screen with various options beginning with 'Done '. When
    'fact' is selected the video goes into the small PIP with square stopped blue and remains here and in "Now Playing".

    How do I really stop a video rather than have him act as if he is only suspended.

    When I press 'stop' and 'fact' I want that it shut down completely.

    Hi Dazema,

    It is the occurrence of same process even in my computer when any type of video. This is normal.

    You can also pass the option to click on the left arrow to return to Windows Media Center options after stopping the video or the video playback.

  • video error in media center, will not play videos or DVDs

    I cannot read the DVD, Live TV, or ripped movies in Media Center on my computer (64-bit) of W7. I just upgraded to W7 (64-bit). However, I can play all content in Media Player. I read somewhere that MC uses 64-bit and 32-bit codecs MP codecs. Can I register the 64-bit codec or fix them somehow without completely re - install W7?

    I found what was the cause of my video error message in MC. I had to disable the functions of exclusive Mode on the Advanced tab in the Audio properties for my audio device.

    1. right click on the speaker icon at the bottom right of the screen

    2. click on playback devices

    3. Select your audio device by clicking on it.

    4. click on properties, below on the right.

    5. Select the Advanced tab.

    6. the functions of exclusive Mode deselect the option and click on apply.

    Who did it for me. Everything works 100% now. Finally!

    Hope this helps you or someone else here with the same problem.

  • Windows 7 (x 64) Media Center will not play video from tv tuner card, but have audio

    I just formatted and reinstalled windows 7 Ult. (x 64), as I did before.  I install my tv tuner driveres (as I always do) 950Q and all I get in WMC is simply audio channels.  Now WINTV7 it works very well.

    Any ideas what is happening out there.  This is not the first time, I formatted my computer and reset my system in place and it still worked before... so confused?

    Have you updated your graphics driver?
    If this isn't the case, then update it from the website of the manufacturer of the graphics card.

  • Pavilion media center tv: M8120n

    Computer hangs after startup.  Will work for 3 or 4 minutes then the mouse and keyboard stop working.  The infrared sensor shows no more red light. This may cause to freeze the computer?

    Thank you for the additional information.

    We will discuss what is obvious.  When a computer is more than 8 years, it's a dinosaur. This means that all components could be at fault.  Imagine, running for more than 8 years with all the heat that develops every time that it runs.

    Well, I got that off my chest.  Let's go back to the next step - memory.  You must remove all modules and replace them one at a time.  Use the slot closest to the processor which should be the #1.  Start the computer to see what's happening.  It is the best way to test them.

  • HP Media Center m8200n won't find card WinTv

    OS Win 7 64 - bit, 8 GB of ram, nVidia 610 card with 2 GB of ram, 1800 WinTv card went out got another card and replaced by the Win TV 1850. Tried to install the driver disc supplied but the result is a message that says: there is no device found. What to do to fix this problem.

    Update: it turns out that the slots on the motherboard was bad. Replace the motherboard with the same type and this has solved the problem with WinTV cards does not. Now don't seem to be able to get the IR receiver to work. I loaded the last disk and windows has always said that there is a problem with the drivers. Hauppauge contacted on the issue. I think that the receiver itself may be bad. Thanks for all the help that has been published. It help me to identify the problem.

    Looks like maybe the slot of PCIx1 has failed and it could also be that the original card Win TV may not be gone, if the housing has failed.  Inspect the area around the slot to see if all observable bad connections exist. Also inspect the contact surface in the slot with a magnifying glass.  A problem like this is not unheard of but is rare.

  • Pavilion Media Center m8430f Desktop video card replacement

    For about a month now my desktop computer Pavilion Media Center m8430f is at the origin of the yellow spots, blue stripes and dots to arrive on the screen then the computer hangs. Moniter is a G185h Acer which I use from 2010 when the original monitor is released.  I also get yellow wavy lines then in safe mode.

    So the thought is the video card went bad and needs replaced.  I picked up a Galaxy GeForce NVIDIA GT 610 to replace the NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT. Two questions - will be my Pavilion Media Center m8430fbe to handle this card? How could I go on install?  I checked the instructions to install a new video card, but none of them relates to my machine.

    I thank you in advance for any help or insght, you can give in this case.

    According to the specifications of your desktop PC and your new GalaxyTech video card, it should be a good fit and work without problems.

    You connected a different view to make sure that was not the view South instead of the video card prior to purchase of the video card?

    I will try to find a video for you on how to replace the map.  Fact!

    The video I found must be adapted. Your original PCI Express X 16 video card not a probably not power connector 6 pin which is described in the video, or the connector on the fan.

    The video author does not mention it, but for safety reasons, remove the power connector. Unplugging everything. Working with the PC as it does and use a table or a workbench with everything external to the offline desktop.

  • Video error stream TV to a Media Center extender (XBOX 360)

    Hello

    I have a PC that I use to record TV, which is accessible by several XBOX 360 through Media center.

    This configuration was working perfectly until a few days ago. At the same time, all 3 Xbox has ceased to be able to view the recorded TV programs, or view the Live TV feed. The Media center PC was the victim of a power cut at the time, but seems to work fine.

    1 TV live view on media Center PC (CMCP) - works correctly

    2. play Recorded TV on MCPC - works

    3. the screen live TV on xbox - video error

    4. play Recorded TV on xbox - video error

    5 video game file imported into Media center via Photos and video Media Center on the Xbox article - works

    6 connect the Xbox to another PC, which has also the Media Center on it and play recorded TV program - works

    So far I have tried:

    1 restart both MCPC and Xbox.

    2 remove the Media Center of the Xbox and reconnect to it.

    3. a new analysis of the signal to re - acquire all channels,

    4 using the Windows update to update the video card drivers.

    I am reasonably certain that the problem lies in the CMCP, but I'm not sure how to do this by how solve this problem. I have a large amount of data on the machine, so reinstalling is not really an option. AFAIK, new programs recording occurs correctly.

    All the drivers, applications, and the windows themselves are fully updated.   The error on the machine logs show no relevant error.  The operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit, service pack 2.  Here is a link to the power out of the msinfo32.exe execution on the server.

    do you mean WiFi Direct or WiDi (wireless display)? If WiDi, you need Intel WiDi software installed on a compatible computer.

    What brand of TV and the exact model? If you have Windows Media Center on your computer, you should have Windows Media Player. You can have it disabled in programs, but you can reactivate.
