Pavilion HPE h8-1234: computer without recovery media recovery

My hard drive failed and I not create recovery discs. I searched HP's site and found my product but none of the recovery disks were available for Windows 7. They had a recovery media available for my product for Windows 8, but when I tried to browse the site further, I got a 'blank page' (and I'm not even sure I'd be able to use Windows 8, since it was not what was originally installed)

At this point, I'm just trying to understand what are my options for getting an operating system that runs on a new hard drive, so my computer is usable. I'd rather find a way to access the software I had initially at lowest cost possible but if not, what are my other options?

Hello;

Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

Sorry, but HP stock no long recovery for older PC Win7 media.

Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

Good luck

    Hello

    A video card with certain powers, such as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 it in the office, I use, requires a minimum of 450 Watts and two PCIe 6-pin power connectors to operate. The specification of the manufacturer of a video card will specify what power is needed and how the PCIe power connectors are needed. I usually install OCZTechnology, Corsair or PC Power & Cooling brands that are well known in the enthusiast PC and professional circles IT. avoid no-name brands to avoid disappointment.

    This means that the standard 300 Watt power supply of your PC is not just enough.

    The video card that is currently in your office is a low-power video card that requires minimal power to operate, but unfortunately also doesn't have a lot of video processing power.

    You can find the video that will show you how do it if you feel comfortable enough to make yourself. You can also pay to have done by a tech in a store, if you think you need.

    It is strongly recommended that the PSU have the following specs or better. ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2. These specifications ensure that the power supply will have connectors that requires your PC.

    Due to the limited space in the case of an OEM PC like yours, it is also suggested that food being of modular type.

  • Mode two-channel for HP - Pavilion HPE - h8-1234

    Hello world.

    (Online) has just bought a HP - Pavilion HPE - h8-1234 that comes with 10G of RAM.

    A saleswoman said it has 4 DIMM slots and one is open, so I think it has 2 x 4 and 1 x 2 G DIMMS.

    I would add 6-8 Gig RAM more, but want to ensure that it is running in Dual channel mode after I do the upgrade.

    Can I add a 8 G DIMMS in the open location, or I have to install 2 x 4 G DIMM and remove G 1 x 2 DIMM?

    Or maybe I should consider adding modules DIMM 2 x 8 G and remove the G 1 x 2 DIMM.

    I do a lot of Photoshop work, and my old computer would go with 4 GB of RAM.

    Thank you

    Please you start reading this very useful article titled 'everything you need to know about double and Triple, Quad Channel Memory Architecture"the link provided on page 5 of the article... This is where the nuts and bolts to install properly the memory is explained. Page 6 is a continuation of the two-channel section.  Basically, he says, on most of the Intel and the latest AMD motherboards... Place the matching pairs of memory in dealing with the same color (XMM1 and XMM3, XMM2 and XMM4 on these systems). On older AMD motherboards... Place the matching pairs of memory in dealing with the same color (XMM1 and XMM2 and XMM3 XMM4 on these systems). There are some rare exceptions to this rule.

    So, on your system, it should be a matching pair in 1 & 3 and 2 & 4 another pair... If you buy a pair of DIMMs to 4 GB, install them in 1/3 or 2/4 and place the pair of original 4 GB DIMMs in the remaining slots (make sure that the original DIMMS are a pair).  If you buy a pair of DIMMs of 8 GB, install them in 1/3 and place the pair of original 4 GB DIMMs in the remaining slots (make sure that the original DIMMS are a pair).

    Note: If the pair 4 GB of origin is not a game, the system will work in single channel mode. If you mix an original 4 GB and a new 4 GB, the system will run in single channel mode.

    I would like to replace the default Radeon HD 7450, which was built in desktop and replace it with a Nvidia GeForce GTS 450, my question is, is it compatible with my motherboard? Everything in the desktop computer is the same, except that I replaced the power supply with a Corsair CX600. As is all other compatible with the motherboard Angelica 2 graphics cards? Thank you!

    Shadgam, welcome to the forum.

    New after the 640 GT video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of the standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.

    I see no reason why the GTS 450 (see card) is not working on your computer.  Your motherboard has a PCI Express x 16 (Gen.2) slot.  You can always call the manufacturer's Technical Support to make sure the card you have chosen will work.

    I don't know what is the problem with the WIFI but, as Feliks have already written, perhaps it is just problem with WLAN settings.
    Please do not forget that the WLAN card is activated correctly and compare the WLAN settings on two laptops. They must be identical.

  • HP Pavilion HPE H8-1234: Hp screen after the passage of graphics cards

    Hello

    I ordered a new graphics card and the power supply about two weeks ago. When I put the new power supply in the computer, it worked fine, power supply is Corsair 600 watts. This is not the first time that I changed my graphics card and the one I have now is a PNY GeForce GT 610. I'm trying to get is a MSI GeForce GTX 950. I took it to a buddy of mine to see if the problem was with the card and it worked fine on his custom build, but when I try to put in mine all the getting is the HP logo on a blue screen reading "Push ESC for boot menu". When I Press esc, nothing happens. There are two single beeps, one about 30 seconds after you turn on the computer and another minute later, followed by the screen goes black with a underscore on it.

    Any help would be wonderful that I have run out of ideas as to what could be the problem. Thank you for your time.

    VGcrazee, welcome to the forum.

    I think that your new video card is not compatible with the motherboard BIOS.  960 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard rather than a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  I suggest that you check the BIOS version and contact Technical Support PNY for help.  They are the experts on their products.  It is very difficult to know which video cards more recent will work with older computers.

  • HP Pavilion HPE H8 1234: HP Pavilion HPE H8 1234 corrupted BIo 8 beeps and the led lights

    I was updating my BIOS and I got an error. Now, the coomputer starts with 8 beeps and 8 power botton blinking LED. IV tried WIndows update Bios USB, key and B. Im running outta ideals. Someone help me please.

    Hello

    Situations of BIOS corrupted can be not recoverable with some versions of the HP BIOS.

    Disconnect the PC and remove CMOS battery and press and hold the power button for 60 seconds. While the battery is removed, test it with a voltmeter-ohm - and if it isn't close to 3.3 volts, then replace it.  It's a $4 item.  If the battery is good before you reinstall it, plug the PC back in and give it a go.

    This procedure of recovery of the HP BIOS claims to work by internal HP.  Read the instructions carefully.

  • Pavilion HPE H8-1234: what hard drive to replace current for Pavilion H8-1234

    The hard drive I have now is HDS721010CLA630 SCSI Disk Device with 1 TB.  This is bad.

    I know its SATA 7200 rpw, NTFS but otherwise unknown and I'm not a computer geek. Using Win 7 Pro 64 bit

    I use Carbonite reflection WD 4 TB my book external hard drive and my current hard drive (going bad) is now imaged. I was told the new replacement hard drive should be similar, a little bigger is ok, but cannot change otherwise the card mother or any other pilots, summer, etc or the restore image will not work.

    What features of hard drive do I buy that resemble what is the system now? The new hard disk can be bigger (2 TB would be great), but most of another must be similar to the mirror image can be used to restore as well as Win 7 Pro and Outlook 7 configurations and all to a new internal hard drive.

    Western Digital, Seagate seem reliable, but I'm unable to understand other descriptions such as sata 3.0 vs 6.0, red, black, cache memory 64 MB instead of 32 MB whatever that means? What should I choose?

    Any thoughts on what kind of buy that is compatible with the motherboard and others on my system would be very welcome!

    Thank you very much!

    Hello.

    On descriptions of hard drives, HARD drive cache refers to the amount of data, the drive is able to get ready for treatment. Essentially the more Mo - better, but as Big_Dave says:

    «the performance between a cache 32 MB or 64 MB would be negligible unless your PC is running an interactive application of DB.»

    SATA is a computer bus interface that is a standard for connecting hard drives in the computer systems. There are three types that are retro-compatible and have different transfer rates - SATA I is 1.5 Gb/s, SATA II 3.0 Gb/s and SATA III is 6.0 GB/s.

    Regarding the colours of WD, each player has a build-in features specific which makes it good for different purposes. So according to what you are going to do the HARD drive, I recommend a different color.

    For example, WD Blue is a regular daily reader that is most commonly used for ordinary calculation, workloads and play of light and combined with SSD. He is quite able to run most of the games as well as many programs for editing or programming. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=S7uxm7

    WD Green is your energy-efficient drive that works cool, calm, and saves a lot of energy. It is designed for secondary storage and backups, and these characteristics allow it to be an excellent choice for quiet versions of backup or archiving. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=iTh9tK

    WD Black is the record of performance of the consumer of WD. It is the fastest among them and has a built-in dual-core CPU that makes the ideal player for multitasking. It is designed for heavy games, large workloads and the intensive use of file. http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?ID=hSoUcT

    Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

    See you soon!

    Hello!! I have a Hp Pavilion Dv6 - 7078ca, and after only 6 months of use, the hard drive just died.

    because I live in the Brazil and brought the computer home, I could not use the mandate, given that the mandate is for canada only.

    So I changed my own HARD drive for one on exactly the same model he had, but to my surprise, when I used the recovery media that I had made, the DVD have been corrupted, so I coudnt get it by using the recovery media.

    I tried to install windows 7 Home premium (the one provided with the laptop), but there's a hardware incompatibility, so I couldn't install the drivers of it.

    and the worst problem is: I can't control even other media recovery, because even if I ask them for some friends to the Canada, so this friend comes for me, HP Canada Web site does not accept international credit cards.

    so, my question is, anyone know if I am able to restore my computer without this recovery media? If so, how can I do?

    Thank you!!

    I recently baught an EVGA GTX 1060, as this 630 became quite long in the tooth and I thought that I would try to future proof myself a little as the rest of my components seem to be working very well.  However, I can't get the map to work correctly on this particular computer.  Oddly enough, I can get past that screen startup finally after several short beeps and let it sit, but it takes fowever to reach the office and clearly is not executed properly that the resolution is wobbly and software from Nvidia cannot even detect the card.  I guess I had got this far because of the onboard graphics of some sort, but AFAIK this motherboard which lacks.

    I know that the card works fine as I tested it in my other Tower, so I struggled to find a solution.  So far, it seems that the problem is most likely the motherboard, as HP does not have a new BIOS for it since the beginning of 2013 (which I did go ahead and install it).  If true, I find myself with either two options, it seems that the ditch system, entirely or find a motherboard that works with all my old components.  I'd rather not have to empty this workaholic, when all other parts work great, if it is not a work around I would like to know if there are motherboards I could pass that would work with the rest of my components.  Normally I would not bother with even apply for, but I hear a lot of chatter on HP PCs pre-constructed having compatibility problems.

    I bought this computer there is in the case of four years that I would be able to update as I do with any other PC, but I didn't know at the time that HP has a tendency to not update the BIOS settings for anything beyond a year which I admit is incredibly frustrating.  What is done is done however, and I want to make this work without having to clear the entire system.

    @Faver, welcome to the forum.

    Your problem is the BIOS.  However, it is because the 1060 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The BIOS may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last cards only not for UEFI were the GTX 660/670.

    MSI made cards with a switch that can be used with a Legacy BIOS or UEFI.  If you decide to go this way, you must contact their Technical Support to help them choose the best card for your system.

    The upgrade of the motherboard can be a problem.  HP has taken advice their specifications.  Therefore, they are not necessarily the same as the commercial versions.  Please make sure that the holes in the motherboard matches the accessory in the case.  In addition, some members have had problems with the connectors in the connections case before, for example, the power button.
