• Office Pavilion 500-281: upgrade of processor and graphics HP Pavilion 500-281

  I just bought this HP Pavilion 500-282 3/15/15.  I would like to upgrade from the intel hd graphics card 4400.  Also, I would say to install the I3 I5 4130.   How hard would that be? I upgrade the BIOS?  The power supply is 300 Watts.

  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  [Personal information]

  HERE IS THE SPEC PAGE for this unit.  It lists the processors i5 which will work with the motherboard, just scroll down.

  The intel hd graphics card 4400 is part of the processor but will be promoted to the Intel HD Graphics 4600 (GT2) with any of the i5 processors listed.  If more than one upgrade is necessary, you should know that food can be a problem and the graphical upgrade with Intel onboard graphics is somewhat a problem, too.  Be very sure, through research, that works in the motherboard video card to the study.

• HP pavilion 500-281 adding second drive

  New HP Clubhouse 500 arrived today.

  I have the sata pc win7 with m.b. blown off the power drive

  When I plug in the sata, PC does not recognize the second disk?

  If I connect it to my Dell with Win7, recognized instantly, so I do understand not (computer management/disk management)

  STD sata drive W/D 1 TB harddrive

  If I want to boot from a USB key, I can't get my PC to recognize. I thought I could just go to Configuration and change the sequence of boot for sandisk usb is selected? But at least computer/manage/diskmgmt shows the usb key.

  Doesn't seem to change the boot, he wants to just go into windows?

  Thank you, Howie

  It was again being shipped with TPG/GUID/UEFI PC.

  Unfortunately, this makes it almost impossible to restore a hard disk MBR or install linux dual boot.

  Using Paragon Hard Drive Manager 14, I was able to convert the old UEFI/GPT disk and can start, at least as long, that's not the hard drive of the o/s. So, I can access its files, but not in the registry.

  This also explains why I couldn't even boot with my USB (MBR) hard drive attached.

• Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

  I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?

• Office Pavilion 500-164: usable RAM less installed

  
  

  Hello

  Are you running VM? If so, then change the values of your allowance.

  The operating system may be corrupted which would make the MSCONFIG setting ineffective.   It's a matter of low probability. Although there are values of registry in this case that could be changed, I'll inform normally not posters on how to edit the registry.  Open (admin) command prompt it and enter the following: SFC/scannow

  Restart the PC after the SFC scan process is completed. If the process of SFC scan found errors that it could not correct then reload the operating system using external HP recovery disks.  Don't forget to backup your data.

  Restart your PC and check again the MSCONFIG setting and make sure it is not checked. Repeat the test.

  Try this memory bootable Diagnostics CD. Download memtest86 iso file and burn the disk using Imgburn.

  Memtest86 4.20 more Installer USB.

  It is possible that the new memory is not compatible with your existing memory, even if it seems to be recognized. This happens often.

  That these suggestions in this order:

  Remove the new DIMMs. Start the PC and check the area of material. You should see a small amount in the reserve.  How do you see now in the area of material?

  Clear theCMOSand repeat the test. If no joy, then try the following suggestion.

  Remove old DIMMs and place the new DIMMS in the blue slots.  Clear the CMOS. Repeat the test. You see 16 GB with only a small amount of material area reserve? If no joy, then the DIMM modules are not compatible with your PC.  If OK, now install the original DIMMs in the black sites. Repeat the test.  If no joy, then clear the CMOS and repeat the test.

  If you have reached this point, then I suggest that you return the DIMMs.  See the information below.

  Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston andCrucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.

• Office pavilion 500-281 model: half-moon key wired keyboard

  There are a few keys that are new and have uncertain functions.

  (1) the half-moon key. He hit once and monitor will dim but visible, he struck again and monitor goes completely dark, struck again and not change even after repeated srtrikes. How do you get screen back normal?

  (2) three lights? in the upper right corner. 1, has and a down arrow. What are the thses all about?

  Hi @ruska ,

  Question #1 - the half moon button is for mode 'sleep'. Moving the mouse should get your normal screen after pressing this button.

  Question #2 - these lights represent num, caps lock, shift, and stop scroll. When the NUMLOCK is turned on, the keypad 10 buttons on the side of the keyboard is activated. With the caps lock on, letters are typed in uppercase without hold the SHIFT key. Here is an article in Wikipedia where you can learn more on Scroll Lock.

• HP Pavilion Elite HPE-540me: adding an SSD (SATA III) for HP Elite desktop computer. Is this possible?

  Dear Experts...

  I want to upgrade my computer by adding an SSD as a master drive and move the original 2 TB drive to be a slave.

  I found several coices of SSDS, but almost all of them are SATA III interface.

  Is my office supports this interface? as it is just written that it has a SATA interface without specifying what version of SATA!

  How many hard drives could this office holds? I already have two (the original 2 TB and my old drive 256 GB) and I wand to add a SSD for Windows and the progs.

  Can I purchase this SSD for example? Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-series 500 GB 2.5 inch SATA III single-unit Version internal Solid State...

  It is the official my desktop HP specifications page .

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  It has 2 bays free HARD disk as on its specifications:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02781215

  You can trade SSDS on your machine and make the old HDD as a secondary drive ("slave"). SATA III is backwards compatible so you can use it. Since then have been smaller SSD (normally 2.5 "), something that is similar to one of the following media:

• HP Pavilion 500-314: big problems by adding an external video card

  You are looking for assistance.

  I recently bought a HP Pavilion 500-314.  Specifications are the following:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04293928

  The unit includes the integrated graphics card Radeon R7 and comes with a 300w power supply

  I bought this unit in large part because it states explicitly that "supports PCI Express x 16 graphics cards".  I run a quad-monitor configuration for my work and traditionally did it this using a card ATI over-pants 2450.

  I tried now three different external graphics cards and can get any of them to work:

  First attempt was with a VisionTec Radeon HD 5570 (point #900345).  This card supports quad-monitor configuration and requires a minimum power of 250w.  When I installed the card, the HP Pavilion beeps several times a series of 4 or 5 (can't remember which) emits a beep, but refused to send an image to a video output (either on board or the new card).

  Next attempt was with an EVGA GeForce GT 610.  It's a Setup dual monitor and requires a minimum 300w power supply.  Got the same exact response as with the VisionTec (i.e. the series of beeps... computer would not start all monitors).

  So both of these cards (new), I basically gave up immediately that I couldn't in the BIOS (b/c wouldn't monitors) to see what was going on.  My understanding is that the series of 4-5 beeps usually means that there is a problem of graphics card, or the card that was added doesn't have enough power.  It's frustrating, because the HP Pavilion 500-314 a supposedly a 300w power supply, which is at least equal to the minimum required for each of these cards.

  At this point, I took out the ATI over-pants 2450 my old machine and tried.  This card at least has not caused the series of 4-5 beeps.  Windows has started.  However, once I log in, Windows tries to install the new (card over-pants) repeatedly, only then, the screen flashes and blinks and flashes.  Then I went into the BIOS.  The BIOS indicates that the system recognizes the card, and that the integrated video has been disabled.  However, there is always a signal coming out of the onboard video output (DVI), so it is not in fact actually disabled.  My feeling is that Windows is trying to control two separate video cards (edge + external), which is what causes the problems.  I can turn off the graphics card over-pants w/under Windows (in Safe Mode) and let the card installed, and things work fine.  However, as soon as I try and activate the card, I get endless cycle flashing monitors.

  I spent a few long sessions with HP technical support and they were useless.  They claim that this is not a problem of HP as the embedded video works fine.  I find this extremely frustrating response.  I think it is a matter of HP, because BIOS doesn't seem to be properly disable the onboard video.  Not to mention that the PC can't seem to properly interface with Windows compatible 8 PCI-E cards that claim explicitly require less energy than this unit has.

  I'm usually pretty computer savvy, but have reached my wits end on this one.  I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide.  I tried all kinds of combinations of variables (i.e. enabling integrated video, setting external card at the elementary level, etc.) through the BIOS, but also combinations of w/under Windows, disable integrated video, but nothing is working.

  900345 VisionTek Radeon HD 5570 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16

  Big_Dave,

  Thanks a lot for your quick response.

  The first time that I spoke with HP support, they had me disable secure boot.  Unfortunately my problems (i.e. the cards would not install correctly).  However, after reading the link you provided that I was inspired to try things one last time with a new beginning.  I uninstalled all drivers, removed all cards, re-engaged start-up secured, restarted, close, disabled secure boot, reinstalled the cards and rebooted.  And, this time, the system accepts the card GeForce GT 610.

  Difficult for me to express how grateful I am to you.  I spent two weeks and countless hours trying to get this corrected.  Just I found these forums earlier wish.

• Pavilion 500-281: where to install a SSD and the best way to get the operating system on it

  I have a Pavilion nine 500-281 with Win 7. I bouight a SSD 128 GB to load the operating system on it.  Where can I get inside the chassis? It seem not to be berries of classical records. It came with an adapter with the screw plate, but it's not obvious where I was able to ride the thing!

  In addition, can I just run a restore to get the OS on the SSD drive, once I have installed?  I received instructions with the SSD for ADATA software copy an image of the disk, but all I want is the operating system.  I'm dying to start using my new computer, but I think I want to get the reader installed first before you make any changes that he.

  Hello

  Review the #8 message in this thread.  Not all models of the 500 - 2xx Pavilion are provisioned for the SSD in the location as shown.  In the indicated installation, an adapter plate was not necessary.

  Most SSD manufacturers have free software migration.  I suggest that you image the entire HD, all partitions even hidden partitions.  Some of the more recent migration software will allow you to exclude your data records.

• Pavilion 500 adding hard drive

  Bought a desktop Pavilion 500 computer last week.  Kind of disappointed with the documentation that comes with it, also disappointed with the documentaion on this site, just seems to have two manuals supplied with the computer, PDF files (but, maybe I'm not looking in the right place).  Nothing in the documentation provided with your computer that shows what the computer looks like inside, no info at all on the update of the computer (adding another hard drive - what memory?).  I open the computer and take a look to see what is inside, but the manual says that if I open the computer and break the security seal I certify that the computer was working properly until I tried to upgrade the computer, and if the security seal is broken it could screw up my warranty.  I think there must be space for another hard drive, but who knows.  I would like to install the IDE of my old computer hard disk, do not know if this is possible.  I know I can get a disk enclosure and connect it to a USB port, but prefer to install the drive in the computer (may be screwing up the warranty...).  If an IDE drive may not be installed on the computer, as it is, maybe some sort of a SATA to IDE adapter or card would work.  Anyone have any ideas?

  According to respondents, this adapter converts IDE drives to Sata port.

• Pavilion 500 - C60: new office reads, "ERROR: no boot disk was detected or the disc has failed" at startup.

  Just bought Pavilion 500 - C60, running Windows 8.1 64-bit and am doing everything on old HP running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2. Has not gone smoothly from one thing to another, but I think everything comes together. A couple of days, began to receive the error message at startup or, if I COULD do so that it starts would go for awhile and then would get an ERROR message, requiring restart. Usually after obtaining the error message several times, the computer would then initialize. Tonight, I couldn't override the error message for anything! When you press power button / stop, I hear (HD) running for a few seconds, everything is silent, and then the error message appears on the gray screen dark in white letters, BACK very and sinister looking! Any suggestions? Had the computer about two months and it has not been easy.

  Not good!  Check all the connectors and the hard drive to make sure that they are correctly wired in place. Make sure that your cable is not reversed.

  Contact the seller if still under warranty for repair.  This could be the hard drive or motherboard and the problem lies the only diagnosis from a repair facility.

• HP Pavilion 500-314: IDT High Definition Audio works do not (HP Pavilion 500-314)

  Hello.  I have a HP Pavilion 500-314.  It works on Windows 10.  My audio worked fine until I had to reset the computer after my computer went into a loop of "prepare the AutoFix.  Once I reset the computer, there was an 'x' next to the small speaker icon in the lower right corner.  When I move my mouse over the "speaker" icon, he says "no speakers or headphones are connected.  It drives me crazy that the other posts about the IDT High Definition Audio did not work.   I would appreciate a quick response.  Thank you for your time.

  Hello:

  Given that I don't know what other posts read you about it, what works for most forum members is to install the audio driver IDT W8.1 support page and the driver of your PC.

  This package provides the Audio IDT high definition (HD) to support of office models that are running an operating system supported. -Provides the models of desktop audio driver version and supported operating systems.

  File name: sp65946.exe

  If you have already done this and it has not resolved the problem, unfortunately I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.
