New video card, what parts of the software should I install?

• Pavilion HPE 440F: need new video card for HPE-440F

  Salvation;

  The ATI Radeon HD 5570 in my Pavilion HPE 440F appears to be dead, or is doing. The fan has stopped working and I think the map has overheated.

  I'm running Windows 7 x 64.

  Anyway - I would like to install a new card - and best video. It is, since it is HP, I bet that not all cards are compatible with my system.

  For example, I can buy an ATI Radeon SR-290, which gets much higher than my current card pass mark. Or maybe even a NVidia card might be a better value for the money.

  Can someone point me to a list of compatible video cards for my system?

  Thank you

  p.s. My Linux box is not an HP.

  Ubuntu_Kid, welcome to the forum.

  The problem you are having is, most of the newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released on August 26, 2010.

  Some of the manufacturers have developed a VBIOS that will allow their cards to work with legacy BIOS.  I know that the EVGA has done with some of their cards.  I suggest to call their Tech Support (1888-880-3842) to see if they have a card that will work with your computer.

• Computer does not start with the new video card

  Hello

  I have hp pavilion 500-277cb and I love it, but it won't work with my new video card

  The video card is
  Sapphire ATI over-pants 2460

  I heard 6 beeps and I turned off safe and active start legacy. It does not beep, but it is not start either, just black screen.

  It seems to me to have the latest version of the bios and windows 8

  What can I do else?

  Thank you very much

  Best,

  Hi JM,

  Did you remove the Intel HD graphics drivers prior to installing the ATI graphics card?

  Your PC comes with one of the following built-in Intel graphics drivers:

  • Graphics Intel HD 4400 (GT2)

• Pavilion Slimline s3120N will not recognize the new video card

  I can't get my computer to recognize and use a new video card. I tried 3 cards (GeForce 8400GS... cards 2different and Radeon HD 4550). The computer continues using the onboard video. For each card, I did the following:

  Go to configuration, advanced and changed the main graphics card 'on board' to 'PCI-E '.

  Saved and let the computer start.

  Stop and insert the new video card into the PCI-E slot

  Start the computer and installed the latest driver

  Computer restarts

  No matter what I do, it always uses the embedded video. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. How can I use the PCI-E slot/video card? Any suggestions?

  I think that your problem may be the power supply unit (PSU).  The video card that you have installed require a minimum of 300W/350W.  The power supply of your computer is perhaps only 180W; 220W at the most.  You can check by opening the case and by reading the label on.  It's just too much difference for the card to function properly.

• Pavilion NC768AA #ABA: HP Pavilion model. a6719f new video card with the new power supply?

  Hello!

  So, I won money to buy (hopefully) a new video card!

  However, I have a problem.

  I don't know which one to get!

  SO, someone please, please recommend a video card for intermediate level games.

  (My budget is less than $280)

  My PC has stock everything.

  Thus, it was purchased as it was when you would get everything first he.

  Yes, I need also a new power supply that is included with my budget.

  Thank you!

  Revionion, welcome to the forum.

  I'd be happy to help you in your choice.  The main problem is, recent video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS to legacy.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The latest maps not requiring UEFI were the series GTX 640.  However, MSI has made a card that has a VBIOS hybrid which can operate with a BIOS.  The best thing to do is to choose a video card you like and contact Technical Support from the manufacturer to ensure that it will work on your computer as it is almost 7 years old.  This will save you problems.  They are the experts on their cards.

  I like Corsair power supply units (PSU).  I suggest at least 500W.  This will give you plenty of power for any card that works in your computer.

  If you have any other questions, let me know.  I'll be happy to help you.

• Install the new video card

  I have a HP Pavilion m7500y PC running Windows XP. I would like to install a new video card to display on both monitors. Installing a video card is possible with this machine? The card I have has a VGA, HDMI and a DVI input connection. If possible, do I need anything special to install and use this card? Thank you for your help.

  I wouldn't worry the food until the video card is selected.  Decide if a new power supply is needed.  Many new cards high power have a 'special' which will have all the power supplies.  According to the map, adapters for power fittings may come with the card.  A respected power supply name is Cosair, Antec, or Thermalake, but many are just as reliable at the best prices.

• 310 - 1125y in expansion with the new video card?

  I have a HP all-in-one TouchSmart 310-1125y and would like to know if this PC support the installation of a new video card.  It comes with an integrated ATI Radeon HD 4270 support.  I did some research and have the impression that this PC is not particularly expansive.  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP TouchSmart 310-1125y and its custom Quanta DA0NZ2MB6A0 (HP Aronia) motherboard. According to the specifications, there is no provision for the installation of a new video graphics card.

• Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D.

  Hello

  I recently rebooted my computer; (Packard Bell) and now cannot run games or screen savers because it does not start. I think my problem has something to do with a Direct3D card? When I run screensavers, I get this message:

  Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D.

  I have the impression that sound when I run the 3D games, such as minecraft or GMOD.

  I run on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and does not do anything but re - install my computer because it wouldn't start.

  It is not as if the graphics card is not there, so I'm really confused!

  Please help me, like playing games is my favorite thing. ;)

  I also ran minecraft to double check and I got this error code:

  Bad video card drivers!

  -----------------------

  Minecraft could not start because it did not find an accelerated OpenGL mode.

  Generally, this can be corrected by updating the video card drivers.

  Hello

  After you reinstall the operating system, you should also go to the website of your computer manufacturer > drivers download section > put your computer model number > search for your operating system and drivers (graphics, audio, etc.) > download and install.

  See you soon.

• Cannot run the screen saver because it requires a newer video card or one that is compataible with Direct3D. Hotfix does not work/run

  I am running windows 7 ultimate, 64-bit, SP1

  The screen savers say they can't run, they need a new video card, or a compatible with direct3d.

  I ran the fix.  The issue is pending. Hotfix: KB2159238

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2159238

  All of the video drivers are up to date and they support Direct3D.

  Seems a lot of people have this issue - how to fix? Yet once again, the fix does not work (says "this update is not applicable to your computer")

  

  

  Hello Dave,

  Thank you for your response.

  I appreciate your time and your concern.

  It is normal that the fix is made for the Windows 7 version without service pack 1.

  I hope you can try the following methods provided in the previous post.

  However, if the problem persists, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall display drivers.

  Step 1:
  Uninstall the display driver.

  a. Click Start, type Device Manager in the start search box and press ENTER.
  b. expand 'graphics', right-click on the map and click Uninstall.
  c. restart the computer, if the prompt message.

  Step 2:
  Install the latest driver to display from this link:

• Graphic/video card [REPLACEMENT / UPGRADE] on the desktop HP Pavilion - help

  I have the following:

  Desktop HP Pavilion Elite m9152p

  Upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (updated 11/2009)

  The video card seems to have gone out and tried the following:

  Operating system reinstallation

  Uninstalled & drivers Reinstalled & restoration

  Before attempts above, no changes had been made to software or hardware only led to the same result: the video seems to be fine, and then it crashes and hangs and doesn't eventually having a hard reboot how, the computer loads the integrated video/graphic card.

  I need to buy a replacement video/graphics card, but I'm not sure what card I need to be aware of, or that my computer can handle as a replacement and maybe a possible upgrade (not necessary) - any help in this regard would be most appreciated.

  Thank you!

  I think it's a good choice.

  The comments seem positive most of the time that the fan seems to be quiet.

  I don't know if your previous card had HDMI.

  When you install your new video card, it can disable your sound system because of the HDMI audio chip on the video card.

  If you do not lose your integrated audio system, after you install the video drivers, reboot the machine, go into BIOS, find the onboard audio setting. It can be set to Auto or disabled. Change the setting to "Enabled". Save the configuration when you have made the change and again when you exit the BIOS.

  Upon restart, you will have your on-board audio back.

  Impatience back on your part.

• XPS 420, video card update without changing the power supply

  So I recently did some changes on my Dell XPS 420.  The processor is the same that had been originally purchased, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz, but I upgraded the RAM 6 GB and spin as a Windows 10 Insider Preview OS 64-bit on a partition with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on another partition.  I've also added a new 2 to HARD drive, a USB 3.0 PCI Express card and thinking about getting a 500 GB Samsung SSD EVO. Here's my question though, and it is a video card...

  I want to upgrade the video card, but don't know much about them.  I don't want to touch the food, and I want to just install a new video card.  I do not play video games a large part at all, but I stream videos from my PC if it matters that I've seen people suggest GTX Nvidia as well as the Sapphire HD 7770 550Ti, but I've also seen some people said these cards require greater power than my machine so I am confused.  What is a good affordable video card that would be worth upgrading for me?

  I appreciate any info that can be provided, thanks!

  The TI 750 will not harm your diet or your portfolio. The R7 250 is $99 and the 750 TI is $ 139. It is in the middle between the really cheap and good performance.

• 550-153w Pavilion: new video card

  Hello, I want to get the ram dedidcated to my graphic card of 256 and its 128 right now. Ive read in another post on the forum that it would be better to get another (goo.gl/Z4F0f1). I was wondering what would be the best video card to get for this need.

  @ShepardPotato, welcome to the forum.

  The problem that you have with the upgrade the video card is the power supply unit (PSU).  It's only 180W.  Most new video cards require a minimum of 400 w to work properly.  You should check to see if a stanard ATX PSU will enter in the space provided for the existing power supply.  If there is enough space, this power supply should work.  You should get this one measures of the plug.

  When you upgrade the PSU, here is a video card that will make what you need.  If you need more information, you should contact the manufacturer's Technical Support.

• New video card and memory for my laptop (1410-604)

  Hello

  I think of a new video card and an extra memory...
  What possibilities I have to upgrade my laptop (Satellite 1410-604).

  I checked my computer technical description:
  I think I can add an extra 256 MB SDRAM. But what video card?

  Koen

  Hello guys

  It s not possible to update the graphics card. You can't compare the desktop with a laptop PC. The graphics card on the laptop is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.

  On the upgrade memory: you can upgrade the memory maximum. 512 MB (2x256MB). There are 2 slots available and these modules of memory are supported:
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
