Pavilion 500-314: Reinstall not destructive

I am trying to perform a non-destructive reinstall of Win Home 64 bit on my 500-314 Pavilion 8.1.

Since HP does not provide Windows installation floppies, and this procedure can be done recovery disc, I did a USB bootable Microsoft support Web site.

The problem is that, once started, it tends to cling on one screen. I had the process works correctly once but be cause that I stupidly tried to do something else at the same time, I had to take off to the resettlement. Since I had to restart, I have not the option reinstall back screen.  Now when I start again from the USB key, reinstall it starts but clings to the screen "Ensuring you are ready to install" instead of the option on which screen reinstall to perform. I tried waiting for that step to continue, but after 6 hours, I decided it was certainly stuck (it happened several times). I tried several reboots, but that doesn't seem to help. It gets to the screen of tht and then stops.

I ran the installer as an administrator, so this isn't it. I made the media twice so this isn't it.  Any ideas why installation does not now (same thoough it once)?

PS no, I buy the installation diskettes not factory win 8.1, since I will be upgrading to Windows 10 once the bugs are developed in a few months.

You are of course, right, on the difference between a repair installation and update - and I wish MS had done it much clearer to people because their general information leads people to assume these are the same, and when they do a refresh and lose their applications, they are very angry!

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

    So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

  • Pavilion 500: PC does not start.

    I recently installed Windows 10 preview alongside Windows Enterprise 8.1, due to the fact that I could not install the latest version of Windows 10 preview 10041 I tried fiddling around with my boot partition, consiquently I can't boot my machine at all is to say does not provide BIOS/UEFI & all I get is a blank screen.  I tried to start my 8.1 Windows Pro CD & nothing, infact my PC does not detect the CD at all.  I also deleted my partition to restore HP 'yonks' (plonker!) there.  Peuvent some please help?  I have three partitions on my drive, there are W10, we have W8.1 Pro and the third has all my documents & photos etc.  My boot default OS saw W10.

    Thank you for the additional information.

    I carefully read your original post.  I think your best option is a system recovery.  Given that you have deleted the recovery partition, you must order the HP discs:

    So, I suggest to use a second hard drive to install Win 10.  It is the best way for dual boot.  When you have two OS' are on the same drive there is a lot of room for error. especially when installing a less stable version.  Win 10 is exactly that.

  • HP Pavilion 500 - C60: HP Pavilion 500 - C60 does not recognize the container pictures xD

    My PC has a slot with an image suggesting an SD card (showing the cut upper right corner). However, the number of internal contacts seems to be two times more than necessary by an SD card. Result: no SD card fits into the slot, but a XD card seems to have the exact number of the required connectors by an XD card. And indeed the xD fits perfectly into the slot.

    So far so good.

    Problem is that the Windows 8.1 does not recognize the card. I searched using Google but couldn't find a solution.

    Can anyone help?

    I ended up buying a Vivitar 5 in 1 card reader that plugs into a USB 2.0 and works fine all bypassing the hp pavilion integrated card reader. This allows me to read my old card xD, but there is a work-around, not a real solution. I rest my case.

    I like to keep the price of the card under $ 100. I've not spotted monitors so I don't know what will be my target resolution, but 1600 x 1200 is too low.

    Thank you.

    @MarkG3, welcome to the forum.

    Here is a video card which should do what you need.  It's a little above your budget, but it is really worth the extra money.  The plug on the State of EVGA Web site she needs at least 300W to work properly.  However, there have been several reports on the forum think 400W is needed.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.

    If you decide to buy it you can try with your current converter of power supply (PSU).  It will not damage anything.  It simply will not work correctly.

  • HP Pavilion 500 PC H6V26AA #ABL: ports in case the computer HP Pavilion 500 PC does not

    I left my computer for about two weeks. Very probably he overheated the computer case. Yesterday, I decided to shut down the computer to update. The next day, I turn on the computer and my mouse and keyboard did not work. I put on for my computer, but my computer does not respond to the mouse and keyboard. The monitor also cannot find the computer saying how there is no signal. I tried to restart the computer several times via the power button, unplug the usb cable and the power cord for the monitor several times and tested the mouse and keyboard on a different computer. When I connect to my mouse to the computer, it doesn't show the optical light red on the bottom, but it did and work on another computer. The keyboard also works on another computer. I tried to take all the cords out of the housing of the computer and the power cord of this and waiting decision, put the cords in and try again, but I does not work. I tried to go into the BIOS, but I don't know if I am pressing the combination of keys to the right or because of the fact, the computer does not respond to press me the keys on the computer. Also, before I shut down the computer I noticed that the computer reacted slow to me clicking and closing windows sometimes and I don't know if that would be linked to the problem. I can't access my computer because it does not react to the screen, the keyboard and mouse. It worked fine when I kept it and previously before when I stopped him.

    Thank you

    The little beep that should be produced you lets you know that your computer has completed the Power On Self Test or POST. This test is a test of all the material base. Usually if a component such as the RAM went wrong, there will be a series of beeps that communicates what went wrong. From my experience there are two reasons why there is no postal code. The first would be that the power supply has gone wrong, no power, no MESSAGE. However, your fan turns on, indicating that there is still power. Which means the second and more serious case is most likely here. Your motherboard is probably toast. I know it's the worst possible prognosis, but I think it's just here. I'm sorry.
