Mode two-channel for HP - Pavilion HPE - h8-1234

Hello world.

(Online) has just bought a HP - Pavilion HPE - h8-1234 that comes with 10G of RAM.

A saleswoman said it has 4 DIMM slots and one is open, so I think it has 2 x 4 and 1 x 2 G DIMMS.

I would add 6-8 Gig RAM more, but want to ensure that it is running in Dual channel mode after I do the upgrade.

Can I add a 8 G DIMMS in the open location, or I have to install 2 x 4 G DIMM and remove G 1 x 2 DIMM?

Or maybe I should consider adding modules DIMM 2 x 8 G and remove the G 1 x 2 DIMM.

I do a lot of Photoshop work, and my old computer would go with 4 GB of RAM.

Thank you

Please you start reading this very useful article titled 'everything you need to know about double and Triple, Quad Channel Memory Architecture"the link provided on page 5 of the article... This is where the nuts and bolts to install properly the memory is explained. Page 6 is a continuation of the two-channel section.  Basically, he says, on most of the Intel and the latest AMD motherboards... Place the matching pairs of memory in dealing with the same color (XMM1 and XMM3, XMM2 and XMM4 on these systems). On older AMD motherboards... Place the matching pairs of memory in dealing with the same color (XMM1 and XMM2 and XMM3 XMM4 on these systems). There are some rare exceptions to this rule.

So, on your system, it should be a matching pair in 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 another pair... If you buy a pair of DIMMs to 4 GB, install them in 1/3 or 2/4 and place the pair of original 4 GB DIMMs in the remaining slots (make sure that the original DIMMS are a pair).  If you buy a pair of DIMMs of 8 GB, install them in 1/3 and place the pair of original 4 GB DIMMs in the remaining slots (make sure that the original DIMMS are a pair).

Note: If the pair 4 GB of origin is not a game, the system will work in single channel mode. If you mix an original 4 GB and a new 4 GB, the system will run in single channel mode.

    Hello

    A video card with certain powers, such as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 it in the office, I use, requires a minimum of 450 Watts and two PCIe 6-pin power connectors to operate. The specification of the manufacturer of a video card will specify what power is needed and how the PCIe power connectors are needed. I usually install OCZTechnology, Corsair or PC Power & Cooling brands that are well known in the enthusiast PC and professional circles IT. avoid no-name brands to avoid disappointment.

    This means that the standard 300 Watt power supply of your PC is not just enough.

    The video card that is currently in your office is a low-power video card that requires minimal power to operate, but unfortunately also doesn't have a lot of video processing power.

    You can find the video that will show you how do it if you feel comfortable enough to make yourself. You can also pay to have done by a tech in a store, if you think you need.

    It is strongly recommended that the PSU have the following specs or better. ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2. These specifications ensure that the power supply will have connectors that requires your PC.

    Due to the limited space in the case of an OEM PC like yours, it is also suggested that food being of modular type.

    I would like to replace the default Radeon HD 7450, which was built in desktop and replace it with a Nvidia GeForce GTS 450, my question is, is it compatible with my motherboard? Everything in the desktop computer is the same, except that I replaced the power supply with a Corsair CX600. As is all other compatible with the motherboard Angelica 2 graphics cards? Thank you!

    Shadgam, welcome to the forum.

    New after the 640 GT video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of the standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.

    I see no reason why the GTS 450 (see card) is not working on your computer.  Your motherboard has a PCI Express x 16 (Gen.2) slot.  You can always call the manufacturer's Technical Support to make sure the card you have chosen will work.

  • two monitors for HP Pavilion 500-007 a

    I am considering buying desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a little time. I already have two monitors TeamViewer, two support DVI - I and VGA I'm running just one of the monitors on a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop (laptop current ongoing died after 3 years continuous use).  The current system gives me two monitors to view, computer laptop 17 '' monitor and the Samsung 24 "monitor. I have also a 19 '' Samsung monitor with the same characteristics as the 24 "monitor.

    I want to know if I can use both monitors Samsung on the new office at the same time with good results.

    Both monitors have no HDMI, only DVI - I and VGA connections.

    The new system, I would like to start the monitor 24 "using the DVI - I format and the same thing with a 19" monitor, but the specs of the 500-007 a give only 1 DVI-I have the graphics card or via a connection through HDMI, and then on the motherboard, it shows a VGA port.

    What is the best: run 24 '' via DVI - I and the 19 "via VGA or execution 24" via DVI - I and get a DVI - I to HDMI converstion and run two monitors to the graphics card, or alternatively the 24 "on DVI - I and 19" on VGA.

    I use photoshop for photo editing, as I do a lot of photography work. Videos etc are not a primary, or games, but as also older in order to use the 24 "to better on Visual acuity.

    This is the original factory specifications for the desktop HP Pavilion 500-007 a. According to the specification, this model has an AMD Radeon HD 8570 discrete graphics card that supports the use of two simultaneous displays. That this computer is equipped with a discreet graphics card, the video ports on-board integrated are disabled. The AMD Radeon HD 8570 graphics card has a HDMI and DVI - I output and can take care of two digital monitors or a digital and an analog monitor. The supported formats are HDMI, DVI - D and VGA (via a dongle, DVI / VGA).

    Please provide the model number of monitors you want to use with this computer. Two additional DVI - D and VGA monitors as you have indicated, here are some of the possible combinations of connection supported;

    I like Nvidia cards, but before you do anything, I would like to know what Nvidia cards are compatible with this machine, so I do not buy something that is not compatible with the motherboard. It is a machine under windows 7 (64-bit).

    There are only two or three compatible cards which are a step toward the top of the motherboard, I would also some tips that we could give me the biggest gains.   I guess that the compatible cards will be a few years old may therefore be able to find some deals out there.

    Very much appreciated.

    Hello

    You have only 300watts SMPS without upgrading the SMPS, I think that would be the best GT 630 (Kepler) so it is much better clock memory and more than hearts cuda compared to the 530 GT.

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-gt-630/specifications

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-gt-530-OEM/specifications

    If you can upgrade your SMPS to 600 watts or more then is recommend GTX 680 where you will see a huge difference.

  • Pavilion HPE H8-1234: what hard drive to replace current for Pavilion H8-1234

    The hard drive I have now is HDS721010CLA630 SCSI Disk Device with 1 TB.  This is bad.

    I know its SATA 7200 rpw, NTFS but otherwise unknown and I'm not a computer geek. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit

    I use Carbonite reflection WD 4 TB my book external hard drive and my current hard drive (going bad) is now imaged. I was told the new replacement hard drive should be similar, a little bigger is ok, but cannot change otherwise the card mother or any other pilots, summer, etc or the restore image will not work.

    What features of hard drive do I buy that resemble what is the system now? The new hard disk can be bigger (2 TB would be great), but most of another must be similar to the mirror image can be used to restore as well as Win 7 Pro and Outlook 7 configurations and all to a new internal hard drive.

    Western Digital, Seagate seem reliable, but I'm unable to understand other descriptions such as sata 3.0 vs 6.0, red, black, cache memory 64 MB instead of 32 MB whatever that means? What should I choose?

    Any thoughts on what kind of buy that is compatible with the motherboard and others on my system would be very welcome!

    Thank you very much!

    Hello.

    On descriptions of hard drives, HARD drive cache refers to the amount of data, the drive is able to get ready for treatment. Essentially the more Mo - better, but as Big_Dave says:

    «the performance between a cache 32 MB or 64 MB would be negligible unless your PC is running an interactive application of DB.»

    SATA is a computer bus interface that is a standard for connecting hard drives in the computer systems. There are three types that are retro-compatible and have different transfer rates - SATA I is 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s and SATA III is 6.0 GB/s.

    Regarding the colours of WD, each player has a build-in features specific which makes it good for different purposes. So according to what you are going to do the HARD drive, I recommend a different color.

    For example, WD Blue is a regular daily reader that is most commonly used for ordinary calculation, workloads and play of light and combined with SSD. He is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=S7uxm7

    WD Green is your energy-efficient drive that works cool, calm, and saves a lot of energy. It is designed for secondary storage and backups, and these characteristics allow it to be an excellent choice for quiet versions of backup or archiving. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=iTh9tK

    WD Black is the record of performance of the consumer of WD. It is the fastest among them and has a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking. It is designed for heavy games, large workloads and the intensive use of file. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=hSoUcT

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    See you soon!

  • HP Pavilion HPE H8-1234: Hp screen after the passage of graphics cards

    Hello

    I ordered a new graphics card and the power supply about two weeks ago. When I put the new power supply in the computer, it worked fine, power supply is Corsair 600 watts. This is not the first time that I changed my graphics card and the one I have now is a PNY GeForce GT 610. I'm trying to get is a MSI GeForce GTX 950. I took it to a buddy of mine to see if the problem was with the card and it worked fine on his custom build, but when I try to put in mine all the getting is the HP logo on a blue screen reading "Push ESC for boot menu". When I Press esc, nothing happens. There are two single beeps, one about 30 seconds after you turn on the computer and another minute later, followed by the screen goes black with a underscore on it.

    Any help would be wonderful that I have run out of ideas as to what could be the problem. Thank you for your time.

    VGcrazee, welcome to the forum.

    I think that your new video card is not compatible with the motherboard BIOS.  960 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard rather than a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  I suggest that you check the BIOS version and contact Technical Support PNY for help.  They are the experts on their products.  It is very difficult to know which video cards more recent will work with older computers.

  • Pavilion HPE h8-1234: computer without recovery media recovery

    My hard drive failed and I not create recovery discs. I searched HP's site and found my product but none of the recovery disks were available for Windows 7. They had a recovery media available for my product for Windows 8, but when I tried to browse the site further, I got a 'blank page' (and I'm not even sure I'd be able to use Windows 8, since it was not what was originally installed)

    At this point, I'm just trying to understand what are my options for getting an operating system that runs on a new hard drive, so my computer is usable. I'd rather find a way to access the software I had initially at lowest cost possible but if not, what are my other options?

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    Sorry, but HP stock no long recovery for older PC Win7 media.

    Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Hello

    Situations of BIOS corrupted can be not recoverable with some versions of the HP BIOS.

    Disconnect the PC and remove CMOS battery and press and hold the power button for 60 seconds. While the battery is removed, test it with a voltmeter-ohm - and if it isn't close to 3.3 volts, then replace it.  It's a $4 item.  If the battery is good before you reinstall it, plug the PC back in and give it a go.

    This procedure of recovery of the HP BIOS claims to work by internal HP.  Read the instructions carefully.

  • How the Pavilion HPE-150 t has 6 GB of RAM with 3 DIMM slots

    Check the specifications for the Pavilion HPE-150 t, I see that HP currently offers a free upgrade to 6 GB of RAM (from 4 GB.) What I don't understand is that these 6 GB of RAM are provided in 3 DIMMs.

    The only setting I can think of that allows two-channel with 3 DIMMs mode in this situation is to have a pair of 1.5 GB DIMMS in channel A and a single 3 GB DIMM in channel B.

    However, AFAIK, DIMM is not sold in one of these densities (1.5 GB and 3 GB.)

    Can someone explain this for me, please?

    As far as I know, HP is not the "Dual-channel" advertising - they simply offer amount:

    http://www.shopping.HP.com/series/category/desktops/HPE150t_series/3/computer_store?JumpID=reg_R1002_USEN

    It is highly unlikely HP POP just in an extra 2 GB DIMMS.

    The only way you can get dual channel of this mobo is to fill the memory DDR3 DIMM 2 and 4 or all 4 DIMM with the same type and density.

  • Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t: video card upgrade for Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t

    Hi all

    I recently bought a map GTX1060 (from a MSI GeForce GT640) 4 year old GPU from nVidia in line in order to improve the capacity of my machine so that I would be able to play Fallout 4 and 3 Witcher (both put my poor old GT640 kneeling - even on lower resolution settings).  It is part of the case and the powers that be (Yes, I plug in the connector 6-pin PSU) and 600W POWER supply is adequate for the task, but I'm starting to think that I probably have a motherboard compatibility issue.

    When I install the card and turn on the PC, it hangs at the splash screen of installation (a common problem from what I've already read on these forums) and that it goes no further (keyboard and mouse do not respond at this time here).  I contacted the nVidia support, and they suggested some changes to the BIOS (disable Secure Boot, activate the Legacy/MSC Mode and switching between legacy and UEFI BIOS selection Mode), but when I access the HP configuration utility (F10 on boot to top with GT640 card installed), these options are not put at my disposal.

    Is it possible for me to access the BIOS settings that nVidia has indicated I should be adjusted?

    This GPU card simply is not at all compatible with my motherboard?

    System Specs:

    HP model number: B4J28AV #ABA (Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t)

    Motherboard: Pegatron 2ACE(Socket 0); 1.08; Intel Sandy Bridge-E Rev. 07; Intel Southbridge X 79 Rev 05

    BIOS: FRIEND 7.15

    CPU: Intel Core i7 3930 K (3.2 GHz)

    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1

    Current GPU: MSI GeForce GT640; Driver 10.18.13.6881

    If the GTX1060 is not compatible, which is the highest card GPU nVidia performance that can be used with this motherboard (given the limitation of power supply 600W)?

    Is there another motherboard for this machine which would be compatible with my existing CPU and the GTX1060?

    Thanks for your help...

    Hello

    The h8 1380t has a Pegatron motherboard 'Pittsburgh '.

    You could try to find a future revision of this motherboard. I'm also a 810-150se with a map of the 'Pittsburgh2' system that has UEFI. I use a card Nvidia GTX EVGA FTW 970 with excellent results.

    You will need to check that the Review Board would fit in your frame.

    The other options are:

    1.new want to expedition with Win 7 Pro, or

    2 falcon Northwest.

    In a map of the main current system the permutation of Asus, Gigabyte or Asrock is difficult at best. You have to change other components such as the processor, heat sink, fan and the memory. You can probably buy an OEM of Windows 7 Pro version.

    It becomes quite expensive when you do the math on all of the changes you will have to do. There is no guarantee that you can find a map of the main current system having the correct spacers for your chassis h8 - 1380t.

    Avoid a Skylake processor if you can unless you don't mind jumping through a few extra hoops to install Win 7.

    Please consult this article and go here for the workaround resolved the problem installing win 7.
