Pavilion AMD mainboard: adding usb 3.0 to Narra3(M2N68-LA) mainboard

My card mother Pavilion had bad Caps top, so I replaced it with a Narra3 (M2N68 - LA) of Pegatron. It has 2 slots PCIeX1 open. Can I add a USB 3.0 card? (I can't tell if the slots are version 1 or 2 PCIe. Can find no indication on the card and no info on the site of ASUS or hp).

Hello @originalluke,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I read your post on how you're looking to install an expansion card USB 3.0 on your desktop computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

According to the specifications of the product for your motherboard, there are:

  • A PCI Express x 16 Slot
  • Two PCI Express x 1 Slots and
  • A PCI Slot

You should be able to upgrade your system with a USB 3.0 card, as long as it meets the above requirements.

Best regards

  • Pavilion AMD A8-6500: graphic upgrade

    Hi there @Jason1966,

    That the Forums are with you!  I understand that you are looking for advice on upgrading a graphics card.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    Please report the number of complete product from your computer. Check out the following, if you need assistance with this information. HP desktop PC - how can I find my model number, serial number or product?  Once I got that I can give you more in the way of what to look for.

    In general, you should know what types of expansion slots your computer is available. More recent graphics cards will focus you on PCI Express x 16 slots and their willingness to be a version or the generation of these slots.  If the motherboard has only Gen 1.0, and the graphics card is Gen 3.0, then the card would work, but it will run more slowly he would in a slot of Gen 3.0. So you want to look at the capacity of your computer's power supply. A common value is 300 W. Higher end graphics cards will be a requirement of minimum recommended power of 400 W or more, although there are cards with a lower requirement. It is always better to have a power that exceeds the minimum value. Also related to food some graphics cards require extra power of a specific type connections. You must make sure that your diet has these connections available. Then, make sure that the card has drivers for the operating system installed on your computer, and if the card is UEFI, make sure that your system has UEFI.

    If all these parameters are filled between your system and the card, the graphics card should work, but there is never a guarantee, because each computer system is as an individual, once it's in the hands of a user. You may have already installed another device that is in conflict with this card or perhaps a software which does not get her drivers graphics. So long story short, it is not easier to just buy a better card, you need to do some research.

    I hope this helps clarify the issues for you and if you find it helpful and useful, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • Presarido CQ5320F: adding usb 3.0

    Added usb 3.0 card slot exp. (MFG by Renesas Electronics), my camera is Manager: NUIDIA GEFORCE with CUDA, controller IDE ATA/LAI, w / Force of NUIDA serial ATA controller (listed twice), update.

    CD program for usb 3.0 is installed.

    The usb 3.0 device requires an Asmedia 106 x SATA controller.

    The usb is installed and the system says it all is ok and when the flash player is installed it lights, it is common but option to open the folder does not come on.

    Can I upgrade my device manager?

    Do I have any options?

    Installation Readme for Asmedia 106 x SATA host controller drive

    I hope that's what you're asking.

    However, I think I found my problem.  The usb 3.0 drive flash I thought, I had, is not a usb 3.0 and usb 2.0.  I have had them buy a new usb 3.0 flash drive today and at the same time check the one I had and it is a usb 2.0 port.  The system is functional with buying one today, not as fast as I was hoping but much more fast anway.

    Some how, some way the first usb is signed and sold as a usb 3.0 with blue insert bit? Now, I will try to get this resolved.

    Thanks for your quick reply, greatly appreciated.

  • HP Pavilion a6000n desktop: adding false graphic RAM and freezes start.

    Well, I'm back with the same machine as the previous assignments.  I ordered the recovery of Surgeons of the computer disks and that they were unnecessary because the computer does not see any cd/dvd I have to install.  Finally gave up and ordered a Windows Vista recovery usb flash drive and installed the operating system.  I used it very well with the RAM minimum (1 GB).  I decided to upgrade the memory to use all 4 GB.  All four are recognized in the BIOS/Setup with the full 4 GB dispalyed.  The new brand of memory is Samsung.  Everything seems to be as it should.

    Here's the problem: the Windows splash screen appears with the scan progress bar and when it gets to the sixth pass it freezes as black and alternating vertical lines distorted graph color vertical lines appear.  It will remain so until I have shut down, because he has not answered all the keyboard commands.

    I removed two 1 GB modules and restarted without problem.  I've tried three, and he did nothing.  Swapped the output for the two 1gbs modules, I removed and they worked perfectly.  With four on board is the problem presented and only when windows is loading.

    I also tried safe mode.  All four ram modules work with the VGA drivers in safe mode without graphical distortions or freezes.

    I tried to restore the computer to an earlier time with the console of Windows Vista repair because he found from the problems and suggested this course of action.  When I did, he removed my Firefox browser.

    Has anyone seen this problem before or a solution?  Thank you for help.

    HP Pavilion a6000n specifications

    Before that I inform you of why 4 GB will not work, I will inform you of the steps, I took in coming to my conclusion.

    First of all, I found an old PCI VGA card and installed.  Then I started the installer and changed to display pci dashboard.  F10 save and exit.  I left Vista find the new hardware and drivers.  Power off and swapped the cable from the monitor with pci card.  Restarted.  Last good known Configuration.  Made to the desktop with large icons, display etc.  Power off.  Installed all four modules of memory of 1 GB.  The installer confirms the mms of 1 GB in all four banks.  Save and exit.  A frozen fourth passage on the starting Windows progress bar screen.  Display is now less than a hundred multicolored pixels (it looks like stars in the night sky) scattered across the screen with barely perceptible ms inside progress bar.  Killed power as no response to input devices.  Modules removed from DIMM0 DIMM2 (banks 1 and 3) and installed two 512 MB mms instead.  Power, entered installation.  Confirmed 1 GB, 512MB, 1 GB, 512MB in DIMM0-4 (banks 1-4).  Save and exit.

    Eureka!  Starts directly on the desktop with no complications.  Vista even automatically the Resolution 1600 x 900 display value.

    Power off.  Remove the PCI card.  Has changed from the monitor to the integrated connector cable.  Powered on the Setup where I changed the display on board.  Saved and get out.  Straight to the desktop.  All right.  Vista indicates on the installed 3,072 GB 3.0 GB.

    I had read a useless article on the HP Forum that said that HP had made disappear the memory alternative banks.  Thank you for that.  Thanks kaoutar to straighten me out on this.

    After studying the limits of memory on Windows os systems, I made a discovery.  Due to the limitations of physical or software address, Vista cannot use 4 GB RAM in the 32-bit operating system.  You must install os 64 bit where it can use 8 GB to 16 GB.

    Here are a few discussions of support, I found to cooberate my conclusion that 4 GB will not work on this computer, as this is with Vista 32 bit installed.

    Thanks for the reply and assistance EricoInstallation of Bank alternation of RAM modules corresponding coupled to the reduction of two of these 512 MB back is the solution.  It was an error of installation of equipment so many restrictions imposed by hardware and software manufacturers.  If I or anyone else, wants more RAM under Vista or 7, will need the 64-bit versions.

    Let's get down to the potential pitfalls:

    1. your HP computer uses Jasmine-R motherboard (MSI MS-7778) with six 6 internal SATA 6 Gb/s ports. beautiful card mother AMD, many SATA ports. GOOD to GO.
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03757575

    2. it is a MidTower case, with the hard drive mounted on a Vertical support, bottom left (view after removing the side panel). Follow the Web link below, for this how to (open side panel):
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04100666

    3. IF you want to add a second drive, in this case a 2.5 "Solid - State Drive (SSD), I see three 3 potential location.

    (A.) mounted horizontally, with support of the adapter in the box below the DVD/CD drive.

    (B) vertically, mounted on the Panel lower front of the computer case.
    A 3.5 "to 2.5" adapter support can facilitate this fixation or the player first itself (using the 4 holes tapped on bottom of SSD) IF the perforations (ventilation, fan, hard drive carrier) line up properly.

    (C.) mounted horizontally on the botton (floor) of the case. Location does not fit all applications.
    The San disk Extreme Pro SSD, I bought in 2014, has been mounting spacer/vibration rubber that could allow this type of editing with a contact adhesive. This montage approach is not appropriate in all cases.

    Selling manufacturers SSD Kits and readers Raw (desktop, laptop)- so working with your store of the local computer for sale retail (££ or €) for a proper selection.

    4. REVIEW the available power cables (SATA style) for their ability to reach these 3 mounting locations.
    Extensions are available from box Mod shops and retail stores.

  • HP Pavilion 17 Laptop: laptop, usb external speaker iHome and HP Pavilion 27 x 1

    I have a HP Pavilion 17 laptop (Windows 8.1, x 64, AMD A8) and a HP Pavilion 27xi monitor connected to the laptop via HDMI.  Because the monitor has no Audio, I connected an external speaker from iHome usb/bluetooth to the laptop using the connection of headphones and usb connection.  It was scientifically and all was good until I installed an HP Support Assistant update (there were 2) - no sound so back to the restore point.

    I then installed 1 of the recommended updates (there were 2) and tried again.  Not ring again, so I disconnected the HDMI monitor and rebooted the laptop and got her through the speaker iHome. reconnected the monitor and the noise stopped. If I disconnect the monitor, the external speakers work fine!

    NO idea what to do.  I want the monitor (eyes do not reach 70 years but like the portability of a laptop).  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hope someone can help or help me find a solution (apart from the one I found) to get my screen sound and my PC.  Buying another monitor is not an option!

    Thank you

    @yanceyg,

    Hello and thank you very much for posting.  For the most part, I think if it's not broken don't fix it.  The restore point and then do not run update again.  If the system worked great before the update fails after that means that updates are causing a conflict in the system.

    If there are updates available is not something that needs to be done unless you've met material which emits the updates correct.

    The next option is to go and manually remove the drivers for the sound and HDMI support.  Do this safe mode.  Enter safe mode by pressing F8 at startup.

    In safe mode, you can remove the drivers and then start again under windows with the drivers passed then perform updates and see if they play with them right here.

    Please let me know how things are going.

    Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • How to add to my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-590uk Usb 3.0

    Hi does anyone know if I can improve my HP Pavilion Elite HPE-590uk for usb 3.0 and if so could you recommend a product that I could buy to do this.  Thanks in advance.

    One of them check it:

    http://www.overclockers.co.UK/showproduct.php?ProdID=CC-003-AK

    This is to use a pci-e x 1 card. You have 2 these slots available. This will show you how do:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02255267.PDF

    See the section on the replacement of a card.

    Instead of plugging on the long black slot which is a video card plug into one of the slots black short. You have Windows 7 I think which means that you will need a driver, but that should come on a CD with the card. Will need you a power connector (molex) on the map, too.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook 15-p119: USB charge, but does not sync devices

    Dear folk to HP support,

    I have a situation very similar to the mentioned in this thread, the only difference is my OS: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Software-and-How-To-Questions/VGA-and-USB-Driver-Not-Working/m-...

    With any device (iPad, Samsung Galaxy, FIIO x 1), if I plug it into my laptop the device starts to load, but is not synchronized and I can't access or transfer data between the laptop and the device.

    I tried to disable the drivers and their reset. I tried to reset hard devices. None of these help.

    This laptop came with pre-installed Windows 8.1. I have it wiped and now have a manually installed Windows 10 (64-bit). I have difficulties to find specific drivers. I used the HP support assistant and he tells me that everything is up to date. Windows tells me as the drivers are up to date, but I wonder if the drivers are generic and not specific to this laptop.

    Where I find a better driver? Or are there other solutions?

    Thanks in advance.
