Pavilion a6255.it: on my HP Pavilion a6255.it desktop computer

Good morning and happy Sunday guys. I own Papilion HP desktop a6255.it. I bought it in January 2008. I want to know if I need to change a few parts gently inside the PC to make it more "effective. Thank you, see you soon

@alba: I've been building and maintenance of PCs for several decades that I care to mention, and routine maintenance only I do on my desktop PC is the following:

(1) disk defragmentation: before I switched to the use of SSDS, I use to do a defrag on my hard drive once a month.  That helped a bit with keep it run faster

(2) backup system: I'm doing backups weekly full image of all my desktop systems and laptops using Macrium Reflect on an external drive. But I change all my machines almost daily, so the backups be useful when I miss something wrong and you want to restore a functional system.  This has proved very useful in Win10, where Ms. decided to force the driver updated on all of us, even when these updates corrupting our machines and make them useless.

The other thing I did with jobs over the years, is adding more system memory.  At the time when memory was expensive, it was common to use 1 or (at most, 2 GB) memory system.  When the price is down, I started an annual program to add system memory.  Now, my machines run all 8 GB of memory at least - and I have no complaints about runtime performance.  IF you have 1 GB of memory, seriously consider upgrading to 2 GB or, if you can afford it, 4 GB.

  • Help - HP Pavilion a6030.uk desktop computer. Have to press the power button several times to start?

    Hello

    I have a HP desktop computer. The model is HP Pavilion a6030.uk, Opertating system: windows vista.

    My computer has had no problems at all until yesterday for some reason, I had to push the switch several times to start until he finally turned and did normal starts. As I would press the power as normal to start button, but all of a sudden, it turns off after about 2 seconds and so I would tap on the switch several times and each time it will not start and turn off, then the power button could be pressed again until it would finally turn on and start and run as normal and seems to work correctly. And it was the same thing today, I pressed the power button mutiple times (for example 6 times) until she finally started as usual.

    Savvy/computer im not very well informed or wise in this area, please someone will help me and give me some advice/help to fix/resolve this problem.

  • HP Pavilion A14Ld-550 desktop: this office has a replaceable graphics card?

    The HP Pavilion 550 desktop computer - A14Ld has a replaceable graphics card? I often hear on an integrated graphics card, it is the question that I am trading for this model, and it has 4 GB memory graphics dedicated with AMD Radeon R5 graphics card and an AMD A8-6410 processor, 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB of HDD with Windows 8.1. So, is this model with the characteristics I've listed have his replaced graphics card?

    The answer is NO, because the HP is not a 550-A14Ld graphic slot PCIEx16. The actual GPU is anchored in the CPU chip. The concept is a like a laptop computer in a matter of funds. The real PSU (power supply) is really a brick 65W, very similar to a computer laptop power supply. I'm so glad you asked!

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer - 550-166d: could not find a desktop computer HP Pavilion - 550-166d burner software

    I was unable to find the burning software for my new HP Pavilion Desktop PC - 550-166d. May I know that this model does not comes with the burner software? I try to find in the recovery software, but could not.

    So, I download software Cyberlink Power2Go:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/detail?swItemId=ob-140777-1#tab3

    "However a pop-up message: this software cannot be installed on a Hewlett-Packard system".

    No reason?

    Is there any burning software can be installed in my pc?

    Hello:

    I'm surprised that the software did not work.

    See if this version works...

    This package provides CyberLink Power2Go in the supported models running a supported operating system. CyberLink Power2Go is a burning software that allows users to burn data, music or video disks. It offers support for CD, DVD, HD DVD and Blu - ray discs and includes features for disk copy.

    If that doesn't work either, I like this free software... I install the version without open candy.

    https://www.CDBurnerXP.se/en/download

    The specifications of product software for your model, indicates that it does not come with any software CD/DVD burning.

  • HP Pavilion desktop computer - 550-a209: have to downgrade HP Pavilion Desktop - 550-a209

    I have a desktop computer HP Pavilion - 550-a209 I need 10 windows downgrade to windows 7 because of some problems of software compatibility to our office.

    BUT I can only find win 10 drivers on the HP support site.
    Any ideas on what I could do here?

    Vik808, welcome to the forum.

    I did some research to see if I could find Win 7 drivers for your motherboard.  The APU/processor was released in 2015.  It has integrated video chipset.  The only drivers available are to win 10.  Therefore, I don't think that you will be able to upgrade to Windows 7.

  • Updates to driver for HP Pavilion 256na-550 desktop PC

    Please can you provide a link for Driver updater for

    HP Pavilion 256na-550 desktop PC

    I can't get the speakers to work, but I would check what else needs update.

    I thought that HP is a good company I really wish that I had chosen someone else to invest my hard-earned mony. You need a computer science degree to get this machine to work. Disappointed is very slightly, put first no cable provided to connect the monitor to the computer and now no sound from the speakers.

    I wonder what will be the next thing.

    If your company made cars they would not be allowed on the road.

    I expect a product to start work at the time wherever I have plug in there, but no, not with HP, they make your brain bleeding first.

    Hi if you can go to this link http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers and enter the product number of your computer. The screen next, select the operating system and you will find a list of drivers for your computer...

  • Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t PC: desktop computer will not be updated for windows 7 64, Microsoft tried without success.

    I have a PC Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t, and a few months ago he ceased to accept automatic updates from Microsoft downloads.

    I tried to use the tools that Microsoft has nothing helped.

    Some time after, my Norton Security software security suite failed and wouldn't charge.  Norton failed to find a solution.  I guess it must do something with the heavy backlog of unloaded updates.

    ? Is it possible to load windows 10 on win 7?

    I got my PC tested for viruses, root kits and it is clean, but updates are still not loading.

    Honestly, I'd appreciate any help that you folk can provide.  Thanks in advance

    Hi there @LROSZKOW,

    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 you have had problems with the updates of Windows and want to know if you can upgrade to Windows 10. I'm happy to help you with this.

    Reading the questions you have described in your current system that you cannot upgrade to Windows 10, using the normal method of free upgrade. Your system should have the option available from a previous update of Windows, as the free update is delivered via Windows update. If you have a Windows 7 or 8.1 product key, then you could do a clean install of Windows 10 and use this key to activate your Windows 10 free documents. Of course, you want to first make a backup of your data.

    Another option would be to try to load the original image from the desktop computer, and then try to update again by using Windows Update. This assumes you have a working recovery partition or recovery media. Computers HP - performing a recovery of system HP (Windows 7)  But to protect your data, you want to make a first backup as I mentioned.

    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.

    Hi there @LeoOfMars

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking to find out if a video card is compatible with your information system. I'm happy to help you with that.

    The main reasons to be sure of are normally feeding you, special (to THE) cable power supply for the graphics card, on the motherboard compatible expansion slot, the drivers for your operating system, another thing to know is the physical size of the map, for moments of cases.

    Looking at the specs of your system and the motherboard by default, I listed the type of slot of power and expansion.

    HP Pavilion Elite e9180t Desktop PC product specifications and configurable Options

    Output power of power: 460 Watt

    HP and Compaq desktop PC - specifications of the motherboard, IPMTB-TK (Truckee)

    Two graphics PCI Express 2.0 x 16 (for graphics cards)

    Go to the video card you are looking at:

    GTX 780 3072 MB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 OC Custom cooled graphics card

    Input power: 1 x 8-pin auxiliary input aux input 1 x 6-pin
    Bus type: PCI-Express 3.0 16 x

    System requirements:
    Mother compatible PCI Express with a slot of chart double-width x 16
    Power 600W minimum (with a minimum of 12V current rating of 42A) 3
    300 MB of available disk space
    2 GB of memory system (4 GB or more recommended)
    Microsoft Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Operating System (32 or 64-bit)
    DVD-ROM drive or Internet connection for installation
    DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA compatible monitor

    So on a quick inspection of both devices there are three problems, so this card will not work on your motherboard or with the current power.

    I hope this helps.

    jherbie77,

    Are you sure of that model #?  I found it listed hereandhere as a PATA/IDE hard drive. Not a good choice!

    That being said, here are my suggestions.

    You need an internal Sata DVD + RW (there be DL mode) and the necessary cabling. Power supply not having a spare power cord Sata, but it wil have the molex 4 pin. You also need a Sata data cable.

    Player $18.99

    cable selection:

    just a data cable, you have found a power cord Sata 15 pin $2.99

    just a power and data in the drop-down list $3.99
