Pavilion Elite HPE-170F recovery problem

I woke up yesterday to a problem of blue screen on my Windows 7 Pavilion Elite HPE-170F.  Following reboot, but would end up the same way.  Tried to boot mode without failure, but same result.  A technician came to the House and he did Diagnostics with its test disc that says the HD had to be replaced.  I had my recovery disks that I made when I bought the computer 4 years, which made her happy.  He installed the new HD and put the old in another location, planning to transfer my files after the restore.  He began the process of recovery with disk 1 and told me to change the disks as needed while he went to see another client.  All done and then it entered into startup mode of windows. went black for a while and then gave me the message "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on hardware.  The technician returned and tried other things but the same results.  We ordered a new series of HP recovery disks but will take a week.  The question, since the instructions say to disconnect everything except the monitor, keyboard, and mouse, would be the printer that is wireless a problem and should it be turned off?  Also, the mouse and the keyboard are different than the original, which would be a problem.  In addition, Windows installed several updates of the day before the problem.

I venture a guess the your computer uses an Intel chipset, can be set to "RAID", and the replacement of the hard disk is a disk AF (Advanced Format). Please see desktop HP - can not recover the PC after replacing the Hard Drive with an AF Drive (Windows 7 and Vista) for more information on this topic. Please see computers HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 7) for more information on the AF drives and some troubleshooting tips.

Alternatively, if you can still read the Windows product key of 25 characters on the COA Microsoft attached to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" to get instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media and install Windows 7 using the product key 25 character of the COA Microsoft on your computer. Using this method will not install HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all necessary drivers.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t: problem with the new HP DH16D5S DVD ROM drive

    My office is a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t.  I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I have two HP optical dirives, one is a writer, and the other is just a DVD ROM  Both have always worked perfectly with Windows 7.  After you have installed Windows 10 continuous burner work very well works correctly with autoplay.  However, the DVD - ROM, HP DH16D5S, immediately began using autoplay.  Actually the drive was not yet recognized as a drive when you view the drives in the file Explorer.  Finally, it would seem, sometimes taking also longer than 5 minutes or more before doing so and then would work very well.  I tried different types of media, including music CD, DVD video and DVD software with the same results.  I assumed that it was a problem with the drive, maybe a bad capacitor, etc., which was originally not start correctly.  So I ordered a new DH160D5S, but which seems to have been a waste of time and money, because it does exactly the same thing as the original.  I even changed the cables autour between it and the burner, but it made no difference.  The burner still works fine but not DVD ROM.  I tried to find a more recent driver for it, but had no chance.  I found on a Dell website for this drive which was an update of the firmware for Windows Vista and Windows 7, but not for Windows 10.  I advanced and downloaded, but when I tried to run, I got the message: "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update.  Update has been canceled. »

    I want to try a different brand of DVD ROM, but would have to buy one without knowing if it would help.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Since I posted this message I discovered that there is a driver problem with this DVD ROM.  There's no driver available yet to make the drive compatible with Windows 10.  Since then, I returned the drive and replaced by another brand that is compatible with Windows 10.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f: recovery of an original installation of systems

    My hard drive crashed, I bought a larger drive (to 5).  I ordered and received the HP recovery software.  Try to restore the system to the original, I get the following error message.

    Recovery Manager:
    This computer's hard drive is smaller than the original supplied hard disk.  The recovery process may not continue.

    I know that the new drive is bigger (even if it is said smaller) than the original.  Is it possible to restore the original of a larger capacity drive?  I couldn't find all the options that are available in the recovery software.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello:

    The biggest hard drive you can use as a boot in this PC drive would be 2 TB.

    This is the problem...

    The drive is in the GPT format, not MBR, and given that your PC lacks a UEFI BIOS it cannot boot from a drive in the GPT format.

    So the only suggestion I can offer would be to use some software like partition wizard free disk partitioning and format the drive in the MBR. You'll have to break it down into smaller partitions such as tuberculosis of 2 x 2 and 1 x 1 TB and then try the recovery on one of the partitions disks and others use for storage.

  • Hp pavilion elite hpe-570f system recovery question

    I'm having all sorts of problems trying to do a reinstall my hp pavilion elite hpe-570f system. I'm trying to use the recovery partition. I can get to options and don't start the process, no problem. He has even reformat the hard drive. The problem arises when relocation of the factory software. Usually, it hangs at 1% until the screen loses the signal and that's it. I have disconnecged everything - including the usb keyboard and mouse on the last attempt - but the most I ever got was 35% before the screen loses the signal and nothing else happens. I thought that if I left him alone, he would install completely, but this last time I left for almost 4 days and still not install. Advice?

    Given that it was me that pisses off the coast, I purchased a retail version of windows 7 unlimited and tried. The same problem. Bought a new motherboard - and the case since the case of HP is designed to put another issue - and he moved very well. Have not had any problems of video card. It seems therefore that the cause of this whole ordeal was the motherboard.

    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.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f desktop PC

    HP Pavilion Elite HPE-500f desktop PC - I would like to upgrade food, video card and hard drive. Can I use a SATA III hard drive? Can I use a 4 Gig ATI video card?

    You can use a SATA-III HDD but the 785G chipset only supports SATA-II. You won't see any difference, and the SATA-III is backward compatible. You have a 300W power supply. You can put in a better and with a minimum 500 or 600 watt PSU, you can install any videocard, pcie 16 x which will be in good physical shape. In retail offices, there is simply not as much space as in a custom build Tower and best video cards these days are huge things two locations. Don't forget, it fits with room to spare, or you will have problems of air circulation.

    No, the GTX 950 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  There is no way to update the motherboard in the UEFI.  Latest video cards do not for UEFI were the GTX 660/670.  I suggest that you choose a manufacturer and contact their Technical Support to help them choose the best card for your system.

    You will also need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  It is only 300W.  Most newer cards require at least 400W to work properly.  Although status map specifications at least 300 w, members reported that they had at least to 400W.

  • HP pavilion elite hpe-035sc: power supply wattage

    Hello

    I have a hp pavilion elite hpe-035sc

    Product number: VS311AA

    I7 870 2.9/8 GB ram/500 GB

    power supply: 460w delta electronics dps-460 DB A (it has a connector 6 power pins)

    I recently added an asus gtx 550 ti and it worked

    I'm worried about the power supply, do you not think that it is enough

    checked the power supply and I found:

    max power: 460w

    power combined 12va + 12vb + 12vc equal to 385 W (it does average?)

    THX

    It should not be any problems with the installation at all. Just do yourself the favor of not not overclocking the card.

    Delta POWER supply has enough good specs for a mainstream card like the one you have installed.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f: update video card

    A PNY gtx 950 should physically be in a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f? I already know that I have to upgrade the power supply, but before shelling out more money, I figured I would see if anyone knew if the card fits?

    KKingotu, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you will have with the GTX 950 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released on February 5, 2010.  There is no way to update the UEFI BIOS.  You can contact Technical Support PNY to see if they have a VBIOS update for the video card that will work with your motherboard.

    Meanwhile in the space provided, you can measure e/s rear plate on the front of the computer case to see if any of the components.  In addition, it is a wide double card (two locations).

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-555sc desktop PC - will not get past the first screen of the BIOS

    Hello

    Since yesterday my PC, a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-555sc desktop computer, does not start. It freezes at the start screen "HP".

    It only allows me to enter the BIOS and it meets no other entry.

    I thought it might be the motherboard.

    Is anyone know about this problem? Is it already happened?

    It comes to my PC

    My PC was already supposed to be an upgrade, but I would like to know if this can be corrected before I create a new.

    I knew no more probably is not on warranty.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Which is usually caused by a corrupt BIOS. You can clear the CMOS. Sometimes, but not always, which solves the problem.

    It is of the card mother reference web page.

    Look for the clear instructions of the CMOS. The instructions do not specify this, but it is best to remove the RTC battery before performing the clear procedure of CMOS.

    While the RTC battery is out and the PC unplugged, press and hold the power switch of the PC for about 15 seconds. When you replace the RTC dough the + must be facing upwards.

    Best regards

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-372f: MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E and GTX 970 bios update

    Hi, my system is supplied with the card mother MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E! I'm trying to see if there is an update available to the BIOS before updating my video card for GTX 970.  I already upgraded my power to 600 W for the 970. My current version of BIOS [according to Windows system] is American Megatrends Inc. 6.07 date 19/05/2010. Please help me find where I can get an update of the bios for my motherboard.

    Here is more information on my system:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-elite-HPE-300-desktop-PC-series/4162190/model/427545...

    Right now I'm really confused!

    After reading the return of Best Buy Canada policy [which gives me 14 days to return my purchased GPU]. I decided to go against the advice I got from this thread and another HP forum.

    I bought the Zotac GTX 970 at Best Buy, thinking it could be a very small chance that it will work, and if it does not work I have he's coming back!

    To my surprise after installing it, it started no problem! I installed the latest drivers from the website of Zotac and then rebooted the system, but still no problems!

    I ran all the points of reference 3-DMark, more than twice with no problems! [which is about 7 times faster than my ATI hd5770]

    Here are my results: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6457066

    I played a few minutes with the deity: sin of origin with ultra graphics to 80 FPS and still no problem!

    I also played a few minutes with supreme commander2 [game 2010 year] at 60 FPS and still no problem!

    I close on my computer about ten times, just to make sure that the system is stable and still no problems!

    Here are two pictures of my information system showing that I run the version of the BIOS HP 6 and the GTX 970!

    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?RESID=7325D1B597E8FED5! 447 & authkey =! HfU-APzSFQeV0Il & v = 3 & ithint = 2cjpg % photo

    I only used it for two days and I hope I won't run into problems in the future!

    So my advice is to check your store for their return policy and try again the GTX 970 yourself! Don't let not the other experiences of volunteers/users HP form this discourage you from trying it!

    PS Don't forget to upgrade your block of POWER 500 W. [I mine improved 460-w 600 W Corsair]

    I bought my computer new from Best Buy in 2010.

    HP MediaSmart Version: 3.1.0.1

    HP TouchSmart DVD Version: 4.1.2.5122

    HP TouchSmart Music Version: 4.1.1.4604

    HULU Desktop: Host Version: 0.9.14.1 - SWF Version: 0.9.15.33

    HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart Netflix Version: 1.0.2.0

    I have apalogize, I know that this has been done before, but I'm looking for different software or updates not upgrades.

    A couple of weeks, I tried to watch a movie Blu - ray (made before 2013) through HP MediaSmart DVD, when I put the movie in him would ask if I wanted to check the updates, so I said yes, he started the process of loading and asked again if I wanted to check the updates. Finally, I took the film and went into settings, watched in updates and there was an update. So I chose the update and HP MediaSmart DVD HP TouchSmart DVD changed. After that, the movie played fine.

    Now I'm watching a Blu - ray movie (made in 2013) and still once he asks me if I want to check the updates, so I took the film out, went into settings, that update, but there is nothing there. I put the movie back to try again and he asks me if I want to check the updates, so I push No., he would say "disk ready for play. Press Play to start. "So I press start and it will immediately message asking if I want to check the updates. So then the movie is still in I go into the settings, that update, and there is still nothing.

    All DVD for the 2013 game and rain fines. All comics before 2013 play fine. All BDs for 2013 keep asking check updates.

    Now, I find another reason that could not work the BDs is because my DVD/BD players could be updated.

    Device: hp BD O DH4O3S SCSI CdRom Device & hp DVD a DH16AAL SCSI CdRom Device
    Driver provider: Microsoft
    Driver date: 21/06/2006
    Driver version: 6.1.7601.17514
    Digital signer: Microsoft Windows

    I clicked on the update for both driver and said that I was aware.

    I find no new updates for HP TouchSmart DVD on CyberLink website. Where can I check updates? In addition, what I have to update all of the HP MediaSmart Software Suite to make it work (and where I do that)? Are there updates for DVD/BD drives and if there is where can I find them?

    Someone, please help me to find the updates.

    Sorry it took so long to get back to that.

    I finally got a new monitor (a long while ago):

    HP Pavilion 22bw IPS monitor 21.5 backlit "

    1920 x 1080

    VGA, DVI - D, HDMI

    So I tried again a movie BD 2013 on the HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart DVD thanks to the new screen and he asked again if I want to check for an update, but it worked fine on PowerDVD from CyberLink 13 (which means I have to buy ). So I have not watched all BD movies on my computer for awhile.

    I recently bought a new computer and restored my old computer to its factory condition and reinstalled all programs and installed the updates I could find.

    After I restored the computer I tried BD 2013 & 2015 on HP MediaSmart/TouchSmart DVD movies and he even asked if I want to check for an update. It's been 2 years and still no new updates! Looks like HP MediaSmart has become obsolete. I don't know if PowerDVD 13 still works because I obviously don't buy it.

    Thus, it seems that if someone wants to play movies BD 2013 or newer that they should ensure that they have the right connection between the monitor and the computer and buy a new BD software to replace the old software obsolete.

    With my new computer, I'll be closing this and boxing upward. So I don't need to worry about this more.

    Thank you for your time and your help. And good luck to anyone else who might have the same problem.
