  • HP Pavilion 1053 does support UEFI?

    Hello

    Please, I would like to know if my pc HP PAVILION 1053 supports UEFI (win pro 64-bit), because:

    -In the bios, I have a menu called 'UEFI TOOLS',

    - But, on the page to download the drivers from the computer, here, there is nothing for the UEFI.

    If my pc supports UEFI, do I install the UEIF HP DIAGNOSTIC TOOL to make it work? Because now, when I click on the menu "UEFI", nothing happens.

    With kindness.

    Hello faroukal, from your description of the events that you are experiencing, they are all normal.

    The black screen with cursor blinking in the upper left corner is normal for all systems.

    It is when the BIOS/UEFI running control system of the operating system, which in your case is - this Windows 7 Pro.

    The UEFI functionality isn't actually the BIOS of old style, but a code of the firmware that is added to the BIOS. Legacy devices means that they are controlled by the UEFI and not the BIOS.

    You should see a section that you can use for the BIOS and not the UEFI, but I suggest letting the UFEI in the control of legacy devices. It's better that the BIOS control works.

    You should be able to locate the command of Start Menu in the BIOS. You should be able to select:

    UEFI boot sources

    Sources of boot legacy

    ATAPI CD-ROM

    Hard drive

    (WDC WD30000HLF-60G6U2)

    Network controller.

    This is just an example and would not be the exact options for your system.

    I can finally see the images. Do you have access to BIOS and click on Security options, if they exist?

    Your images do not show that. InSyde BIOSes are normally sections of Configuration, security and startup options.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8-1111: Deffective WLAN Card

    I've had a few confusing issues with my internet connection for a few weeks now:

    My computer seems to detect wifi networks (they appear in the Network Manager), but fails to connect because of an unknown factor.

    Basic troubleshooting informed me that wifi wasn't the issue (other devices could connect to) and it turns out that my computer could sometimes reconnect by mmee after a few hours (weird right?)

    This time it does not resolve itself. I tried to update my WLAN card through my laptop adapter, so the drivers via a USB key. Nothing worked (maybe bad drivers?) I've tried a few)

    My network card is a mini Broadcom 802.11n using magnetic antennas of the card. (youd cloth found in a laptop essentially...) I have little or no knowledge more than I could translate from the web on this kind of hard\software. I am at a loss.

    [Also, I've seen a few threads recommending the driver intel update of software, but it needs a connection to work its magic...]

    Hi @arnaud34,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you have problems with your wireless connection and I'm happy to help you.

    Is that something WLAN adapter that you added or the original map?

    The Support page and drivers for your computer model: PC desktop HP Pavilion HPE h8-1111

    I would recommend that you try the following to see if you can get a stable connection. If at the end you still have nothing so it may be that the card is bad, and a replacement is necessary.

    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access (Windows 7)

    In addition, you can watch the the power management of your wireless adapter:
    Turn off the power to the adapter:
    1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
    2. expand the network adapters.
    3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
    4. click on the power management tab.
    5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
    6. click on OK.
    7 test cycle.

    Forget the network: (Windows 7)
    1. press start.
    2. tap manage wireless networks, click on the application at the top of the start menu.
    3. right click on the network, and then click on remove network.
    4 confirm the warning by clicking OK.

    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

    It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
    1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
    2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
    3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
    4 restart your PC and test.

  • HP Pavilion HPE 1090 t: could someone help me please... Desktop HP Pavilion HPE h8-1090 t CTO - PSU replacement/compatibiliy

    I just bought a new power supply (Corsair CS650M) because someone has suggested that it would be a good replacement power supply for my HP model which is HP Pavilion HPE 1090 t.   I need to know if this Corsair works and is compatible with my system, because something is not working with him directly or I did something wrong.    This is my first install and when it comes to the ins and outs of power amplification entry & exit and amperages I get so confused about this stuff.   But I think I took all the pluged connection correctly, at least when I re-plugin my old PSU after the installation to fail, I had the PC working again, what made me give confidence that I did the Corsair install correctly.  But what happens is after the installation of the unit from Corsair and turn the system he clicked power off after about 10 seconds or more and then restarted after a few seconds, then stopped again and turns off after another 10 to 15 seconds, and nothing would come up on top of the screen no more.   The first time I did the research what PSU would be compatible, I was getting conflicting results with a few places on the net saying that the majority of the HP out there (excluding some models such as the slimline) could be replaced by different manufacturers and higher power PSU, while other places I looked different.   Even the person who recommended me this power supply said in his post that he installed a Corsair HX650 model in its HP PC, and it worked very well for him.  Now, after the failure of the installation for the next few days, I did a lot more research and when I went on the site of HP and looked up the specifications of the model my PC I noticed under the power supply section, he had a heading that says "must select one of the following options" (in fact most of the different sections shows that the title too) and then he showed only two options 460W and 600W.  Then he asked me if it's the only option I get with my model.  And then I looked at my model number HP on the HP PartSurfer and under the section of the PSU, it also registers only 460W and 600W.   So who is?   I have to stay with only these options two HP or can I get a power supply with a higher power a bit then 600W from a different manufacturer that is what I want.    If I can get something that is compatible other than the options listed HP please let me know, or if this Corsair should work someone please let me know.   I need to return it otherwise.    My specs are below.

    Although there is a limit to the amount of power that is needed to power your computer, it uses only the amount of power it takes to power the computer correctly.  The extra power is kept in reserve for the purposes of art.  Thus, you cannot really bad the computer with extra power or amperage.  You can sleep on this point.

    Thank you very much for your quick response, I wasn't getting anyone to answer the previous post.

    If your saying these HP spare parts are not exclusive to the company?  Some connectors may be owners, but most are not.

    It should work then?  Yes.  I've recommended hundreds of the PSU in the years I've been helping on the Forums; in fact since about 2002.

    How about the input/output & amperages of note that I registered?  As I understand not all this jargon, I want to assure you that I have / using correct notation for my system.  I don't want to fry one of my compondents with to much amperage.   Well, either I did something wrong installing or this power supply is a dud then.  Read my explanation at the top of the page.

    As I said before I pretty sure I had all the right connections, what can you tell me if it sounds right for you.  I have pluged in both connectors wired on the motherboard which were the main ATX 24pin power connector and the EPS/ATX12V 8 pin which I shared and pluged a piece of the cable labeled 'CPU' in slot 4 pins on the montherboard labeled ATX CPU.  Regarding the other split 4 pads, I don't see anywhere, it could be pluged into the motherboard.  If two 4-pin connectors were even marked, it should be good.  However, you can try to plug the other 4 pin instead of this, just to make sure that the right pair is connected to the processor power.

    My AMD Radeon HD 6570 1 GB graphics card is the type that is fed through the MB so I didn't use any of the PCI-E cables 6-8 poles.  It is very good.

    And so the only thing I had left that I have pluged the compondents of Sata cables that was my Bluray burner, my 2 TB hard drive and my USB 3.0 card.  They are very frank.

    Yet once again being installation of hardware in my system let me ask hopefully not a stupid question, but when you connect compondents Sata cable, you must have the plug-in in a particular order of wiring compondent or how do you?  I don't check the specifications of your power supply, but I think most of them have a single 12V rail.  If this is the case, you don't have to connect them to any order.  If there are two rails, it is best to divide the power of each rail.

    On my old PSU, it has an extension cable SATA used to connent card USB 3.0 which is pretty tightly squeezed between graphics card and sound card, so I guess I could use the extension cable with the new PSU POWER Sata wiring without any compatibility also publishes, right?  This should be no problem I can think of at this point.

    Thanks again for your help, I'll probably will try and plug it once more and see if I can make it work.  If this does not work for now, I strongly suggest that you contact Technical Support of Corsair for help.  They are the experts on their products and grab any errors that we do.  It is very difficult to diagnose a problem by far.  When you have done with this project, you will no longer be the excuss you are a novice. You will have a lot of knowledge that you did not when you started.

  • Support for VMWare VT on HP Pavilion HPE h8xt

    I just bought a new HP Pavilion HPE h8xt and want to use VMware player to create a virtual using Windows 7 64-bit computer.  When I tried to do, VMware has informed me that I had to enable VT in the BIOS.  I restarted the machine and press F1 and F10 and have a 2.10.1206 interface of American Megatrends, who informed me that THE system BIOS has been CHG_705.ROM v7.05.  Anyway, I can't find any associated BIOS Setup option.

    The processor is an i7 2600, which is quite common.  This processor supports VT?  I just need to load a new BIOS?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Trailway,

    You should be able to boot into the bios and look for VT usually, it is disabled by default. You might find that it listed on the tab of the System Configuration.

    Run this program.    Test for 64-bit hardware  She say on the hardware virtualization?  Yes or no?

    Another test would be to download and use PC Wizard. Click processor under the hardware then scroll to virtualization. It should indicate Yes and if it is enabled or disabled.

    What is the number of exact product for your PC?

    I do not have the Intel i7 - 2600 k but my bios is different from the bios of your PC.

So, im wondering could it be my graphics card? its only 4 years. Looking at my list of command on this computer, it is said... 3 GB amd radeon HD7950 (double support, 2 x minidp, hdmi, dvi)

    Also as I am typing the letters bleeding black and red. Where is the problem? How can I check to be sure that this is the problem? hate to keep away from safe. Anyone has any idea what it could be? Thanks for listening.

    Hi there @charles49,

    I hope you find your experience of positive Support Forum! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that your display is not coming properly, but you can start in safe mode. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Because the system operates in Mode safe mode, it allows to narrow the problem, although it's going to be associated with the graphics card or its driver.

    Something you might try is to remove the existing display using Device Manager driver of in Safe Mode and load a generic display driver.  Then, try to pitch it up normally and see if the computer is in place. Remember that you set the screen resolution to something a little more useful to you before moving on to a normal start to the top.

    If it starts normally then you can try the preferred display driver update with a new installation.  You can try the HP Support Assistant for the driver if you have not already very practice. Computers HP - using HP Support Assistant (Windows 10, 8, 7)

    If the pilot goes and the system works properly, then you should be good. If this isn't the case, then the card probably has something wrong with his ability to use his "higher functions".

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1285 g-d mobo doesn't support Kingston pc3 12800 (1600 MHz)

    Buy Hp Pavilion HPE h8 - 1285d that comes with hp 4 GB ddr3-1600 in mid-August 2012.

    Motherboard is IPMMB-FM (Formosa). Product H1N22AA number

    Need another 4 GB of ddr3-1600 to 8GB ddr-1600. Buy Kingston HyperX 8 GB 1600 Mhz DD3 (set of 2).

    Try it, motherboard is worth 8 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.

    HP technicians try and fix it, but to no avail. No choice but to buy only HP brand 4 GB ddr-1600.

    The motherboard can now read as 8 GB ddr-1600 (Dual channel).

    My question is why can't the motherboard stand NOT Kingston HyperX but ONLY from HP?

    Then it defeats the purpose in information release of products where under memory upgrade information

    Supports modules DIMM DD3

    -PC3 10600 (1333 Mhz)

    -PC3 12800 (1600 Mhz)

    No particular BRAND is mentioned for PC3-12800 (1600 Mhz). If the product information reported

    that HP can only take over the PC3 12800 (1600 Mhz), I would certainly NOT bought the PC in the first

    place.

    Can do something about it?

    Formosa has chipset Intel Z75 about it, so I'm not sure what this mobo can support Kingston HyperX DIMM. Based on the link below to Kingston memory FAQ, this particluar DIMM only works on the motherboard with a chipset of Intel Sandy bridge Z68.  This means that the Kingston HyperX DIMM you bought is not compatible with motherboard Formosa.

    http://www.Kingston.com/us/memory/HyperX/FAQs?cat=HyperX-Mkt-FAQ

    How will I know if my system can support HyperX Plug n Play?

    Rep. : Your system supports HyperX Plug and Play as long as you meet the following criteria: your system must use a second generation Core i5 or Core i7 processor, a Sandy Bridge P67 or chipset Z68

    Hope this helps and sorry for the trouble there cause on your side.

    I know that the card works fine as I tested it in my other Tower, so I struggled to find a solution.  So far, it seems that the problem is most likely the motherboard, as HP does not have a new BIOS for it since the beginning of 2013 (which I did go ahead and install it).  If true, I find myself with either two options, it seems that the ditch system, entirely or find a motherboard that works with all my old components.  I'd rather not have to empty this workaholic, when all other parts work great, if it is not a work around I would like to know if there are motherboards I could pass that would work with the rest of my components.  Normally I would not bother with even apply for, but I hear a lot of chatter on HP PCs pre-constructed having compatibility problems.

    I bought this computer there is in the case of four years that I would be able to update as I do with any other PC, but I didn't know at the time that HP has a tendency to not update the BIOS settings for anything beyond a year which I admit is incredibly frustrating.  What is done is done however, and I want to make this work without having to clear the entire system.

    @Faver, welcome to the forum.

    Your problem is the BIOS.  However, it is because the 1060 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The BIOS may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last cards only not for UEFI were the GTX 660/670.

    MSI made cards with a switch that can be used with a Legacy BIOS or UEFI.  If you decide to go this way, you must contact their Technical Support to help them choose the best card for your system.

    The upgrade of the motherboard can be a problem.  HP has taken advice their specifications.  Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as the commercial versions.  Please make sure that the holes in the motherboard matches the accessory in the case.  In addition, some members have had problems with the connectors in the connections case before, for example, the power button.

  • HP Pavilion HPE h8-1234: upgrading the 7450 Radeon HD Nvidia GeForce GTS 450

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-HPE-H8-1200-desktop-PC-series/5187019/model/5231572

    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.
