Pavilion Elite won't stop

This computer works fine EXCEPT that I can't turn off and stay off. It came with Vista, now Win 7 x 64. When I click on stop, he died. Five seconds later it turns! Even holding down the power button it will do not stay off.

Just for grins, I swapped the power supply. No change.

Suggestions?

In fact, I found a solution. I removed the battery from the motherboard and BIOS recovery marked rider. Press the switch for a few seconds. Replaced the battery and the rider.

No problem.

  • HP Pavilion Elite keyboard symbols stop working correctly

    Pretty weird, but incredibly annoying problem!  The hard drive on my HP Pavilion crashed a month or there while it was still under warranty so I took it in the Future Shop to fix.  When I got it after they have installed a new hard drive for some of the keys on the keyboard displays stop symbols appropriate after a few minutes (in particular the []------'; keys), among other problems.   It drives me crazy because I'm a writer and I use these keys all the time.  It is not only on documents Word - it's also in emails, so I know that it is not only a word problem, or it least it seems to be, but generally it doesn't seem to be mainly in Word and emails.  I had to reinstall all my programs when I got the computer back, so I'm also working with a new installation of Word.  I tried all the regular solutions - check the settings of keyboard and the region etc.  All seem good.

    The HP now displays caution Microsoft 7 isn't a real construction.  Since Windows OEM, I don't have a disk for it.  I tried to solve this problem and read somewhere that Microsoft caused diabolically things to stop working after a while if the generation is not authentic.

    Maybe the keyboard problem related to this?  I'm willing to spend a little money, to buy a new keyboard, all it takes to fix.  I'll be a little PO would be if I have to buy another copy of Windows, but less expensive than buying a new computer!

    I hesitate to take over the computer at Future Shop because I already did once, and they had no solution.  Very very bad service.  I'll be wary of their warranty service in the future.  If I take to anyone, it will be my computer guy of reliable neighborhood - but it does of course.

    Any suggestions would be mucho appreciated.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-180 t, windows 7 64 bit started to stop the sleep mode.

    Pavilion Elite HPE-180 t, windows 7 64 bit began to stop in the past few weeks.  It seems to happen from the sleep mode.  I leave the computer for more than 20 minutes, and when I come back, it is turned off.  When I start again, I have an error message and be able to start in safe mode.  I start in normal mode and I get an error "windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown" without solution.  I also see an action center say error - consider sending additional information about a problem with the ATI display driver (graphics card is ATI Radeon HD5450 1 GB).  When I click for the solution, says that this solution could not be downloaded.  I've updated my drivers.  I haven't added a new hardware or software.

    Thanks HardBeatZ (HP).

    I did as you suggested and I had to uninstall several times because the device picked up previous ATI vs the generic drivers.  In any case it still stop with the blue screen of death when waking from sleep mode.   Then I went back and installed the latest graphics driver from the HP site for my system. I still had a few stops.

    Then I went through all my devices and checked for latest drivers.  All said that the best version is already installed.  Then I noticed that my HP bt500 bluetooth USB 2.0 adapter had only a driver available for windows 7 32 bit (I have installed 64-bit).  I used a keyboard and bluetooth mouse.   So I unplugged the adapter and have resorted to the USB keyboard and mouse and closures of blue screen stopped.  It seems that the network card was originally wake up from its sleep.  I also disabled the reactivation of LAN in the properties of the network adapter device.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s: 'Secure Boot Configuration' not found?

    Hello support, I wanted to disable startup secure for my office.
    I have a pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s Bios 7.15 I followed the step of many posts, but I don't have it under the heading "security"?
    I am on window 10 64-bit UEFI.
    I wanted to disable, because I have a new GTX 960 graphics card and it stuck on the HP logo at startup all the time when I use the new card. !!

    I tried to disable the security slot, but no matter what I do I get a black screen for my card both old and new so I have to reset the bios settings.
    Help me please.

    Thanks for the additional information.

    Here is my diagnosis/notice:

    I don't think you'll be able to get the GTX 960 to work with this system.

    Why it won't work in the UEFI/GPT:

    It will not work in the UEFI [I think] 960 GTX is one card of UEFI and you must disable secure boot to make it work. Your BIOS is only "UEFI compatible" originally planned for Windows 7 [which does not support secure boot]. If you are unable to disable the secure startup, you can not use this card.

    Why it won't work in legacy/MBR:

    It won't work in legacy because it's a single card of UEFI.

    My suggestion:

    Return to the legacy/MBR and use a graphics card that has a dual BIOS BIOS/hybrid or one who supports in particular the Legacy BIOS as described in one of my previous posts.

    Some other things to consider:

    You PSU has enough power for this card? I think it takes a minimum of 400W PSU.

    You connect the auxiliary power connector?

    Have you tried to disable "Intergrated Graphics" in the BIOS [as appropriate]

  • Pavilion elite m9255uk: damaged wiring antenna Office

    Main problem is that the PC won't start, thinking that perhaps it would be mobo.  Yes I know it's old but it's my favorite. Thus, three questions

    1ST QUARTER

    The PC Pavilion Elite has a built-in wireless antenna for the management of wireless LAN 802.11 b/g. I just ran my fingers on the thread that connects the card/adapter inside the 'roof' and the coating of the wire is cracked near the 'roof' of the pc.  He has obviously been pinched or rubs against something, could that have damaged the mobo if the stripped part had made contact with the case?  If this isn't the case, it would be prudent to cover the part damaged this wiring with insulation tape?

    Q2

    Otherwise, could remove the card/adapter and wiring and do not use wireless, what would be the consequences of this?

    Q3

    After that the cracked wire issue is sorted, I'll have to do some work of elimination on the problem of no initialization.  What are the sons of "skeleton" that should be left connected to the mobo to start upward? (please let me know if you want this bit of my questions posted elsewhere and I'll re)

    With this damaged wiring, I doubt it will be problem except playing havoc with wireless reception.  Stick the broken insulation should be fine, as long as the wire is OK.

  • Pavilion Elite PHE 450 t PC: intermittent Desktop closed, noise from the video card fan.

    My office has developed a problem in which she stops 10-15 minutes after a cold start.

    I have a Pavilion Elite HPE 450 t running Windows 7 64.  I tried dusting and open the box, but it keeps happenings.

    In addition, my video card, an NVIDIA GeForce315 G 1 fan makes noise.

    I have 2 questions:

    1 ¿is this fan an item repairable, or I have to replace all?

    Can 2 how I check the power supply to see if it is not part of the problem?

    Is there there tensions I can measure to see if its OK?

    My query related to food, is that I run a couple of terabyte drives out of the office, and I wonder if I'm loading down the power.

    I would appreciate comments, suggestions, etc.  Thanks in advance.  Thank you folk being here to help that old man.

    Leon R.

    Greetings,

    It seems to be a possible thermal problem with the graphics card fan.

    The fan on the graphics card work? Remove the side panel to check. Yes, you can remove the side panel while the system is turned on.

    Do not touch internal components. Just inspect.

    The Geforce 315 is a riser. I've never replaced graphics card fans, but I guess it's possible.

    A power failure is always a possibility.

    Eliminate food, the more reliable is to temporarily connect a good diet known to the system.

    The system was stable before the thermal emission of fan noise and possible? That should remove a power supply problem.

    You can replace the graphics card. Your PC has many options that were available for purchase.

    Please see here. Select "Options of material", then scroll down to 'Graphics '.

    See you soon!

  • Pavilion Elite HPE (HPE-210y): Travel in RAID 0

    Hi all.

    Recently, I upgraded my hard drive of 1 TB to 2 TB. I bought two hard drives of 2 TB because I planned to run RAID 1, but after that I cloned one of the 2 TB drives and removed the old 1 TB, I decided to save in a different way.   I have most of the things I wanted to back upward again on the old hard drive and another method seemed to be a better route. My uses of son for a little game and RAID 1 seemed to be struggling against productive and not as safe.

    So, I'll be able to move my new drive 2 TB in RAID 0 with my other new 2 TB drive even if I use one right now?

    Else consider this computer Noob?

    Once more, I find myself at the mercy of the much more educated HP Forum members lol.

    Here are my computer specs:

    Hello

    HP's instructions for configuring RAID using the AMD RAIDXpert. Read at least twice.

    Check your BIOS settings and make sure that the SATA is set to RAID.

    I suggest you connect hard drives to ports SATA 1 and 2 (blue and white). Among the old HP AMD motherboards we're picky about which ports SATA would be supported RAID.

    BTW - RAID 1 is much more secure that it will provide redundancy in the event of a hard drive failure and RAID 0 won't.

  • 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 have a Pavilion Elite M9300T KZ854AV #ABA with CPU Q9300, 3 G of RAM and 750 GB 7200 RPM / MIN SATA 3 GB/S HD.  I want to improve the memory, the operating system & video card.  The current map graphic is a NVIDIA Geforce 9500 GS - 512 MB.  I don't do a lot of game but with Cyberlink Power Director 12 video editting.  Extremely slow rendering video during editing.  Is there a map 'step-up', I can go to without having to upgrade the POWER PC block?  Looking for some recommendations on the new cards.  Currently have Vista Edition Home Premium - 32-bit but want to upgrade to W7 Pro - 64-bit as part of the upgrade process.

    You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

    The reason why I give you a recommendation of the video card is for the reasons I said.  Most of them won't be better than what you have, and it is difficult to find a retail map that will work with your power supply 350W. However, I talked to Technical Support EVGA (1-888-880-3842).  He said that the cards that are compatible with your motherboard 2008 are limited.  He recommends is an EVGA GT 640.  I recommend you call their Tech Support to ensure it will work with your motherboard and BIOS.

  • HP pavilion elite hpe 500cs: stuck at the start-up screen

    Hello
    I bought gtx 1060 to my hp pavilion elite hpe 500cs pc, but I can't front the start screen (cannot even get into the bios settings). I inherited bios with the latest version 7.15 which is avalible for my motherboard. The card worked on power and different Mr. b. is sufficient. I also have 1 beep, that the long break and followed 3 short and fast beeps long beep.

    Any ideas?

    Your comparison of different systems and not being is not specific about the other tested machine.  It is like comparing a Citroën with a Renault. (Could not stop myself, realizing your in CS).  The HPE 500cs, as you say, is Legacy BIOS.  The new GTX 1060 is UEFI and would not work in the HPE without a hybrid BIOS from the manufacturer of the card.

  • Impossible to replace the video card - Pavilion Elite Pro 410 t

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite Pro 410t with an ATI Radeon to 2 GB video card (I think a 5770 or 5570). I'll call this map.

    About 2 weeks ago it started making a noise annoying (sounded like a fan problem).

    I have a spare, older, working NVidia card fanless (calling card B) and I swapped it in using the method indicated in the guide of the user/service.

    When I turn on the Pavilion, it gives 3 beeps and there is no display, so I think that it does not recognize the video card.

    I put the card back in and it works fine, except that the fan sounds bad and I'm not confident, it will last much longer.

    I put the B card in another PC (home built) and it works fine.

    I tried card B in the Pavilion, making sure it was well set and I get always three beeps.

    I even went in the Pavilion BIOS settings to see if there was an option. There is no setting to choose the video card, but there only PCI-E option. Since I'm still just on the PCI-E slot, I left it alone.

    So I have a work card (B), but it won't work in the Pavilion for a reason any. Has anyone seen this?

    If it's a compatibility issue, is there a specific list of cards that works with my system? Do I have to buy the replacement of HP only? HP offers even replacements of video card for sale?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes, okay.
    If you compare the PSU of the HP and the other PC (home built) - are there differences?
    Maybe you need more powerful or more efficient power supply?

    If you try the other power supply in your HP...?
