Pavilion p6000: upgrading Pavilion p6000

Hi, I just got the Pavilion p6000 on ebay for around $ 200 and I want to change the graphics card and possibly add more ram. So I would like to know if it is correct to what I intend to do.

There is some information about the computer that I know:

: HP Pavilion p6000 series

Product number: BT493AA #ABC

Motherboard: N-Alvorix-RS880-formfat (Alvorix)

RAM: 4096Mb non ecc

Processor: AMD Athlon (TM) II X 3 445 CPU (CPU 3), ~3.1GHz

Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4200 (1916 MB)

I would like to know if I could use a Nvidia GTX 980 graphics card and what is the maximum RAM (ram) the motherboard can support on a 64 bit system.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

You can search the forum "Alvorix" and see what has been already stated.

    Hello

    Consult thispublication of documentfor general information on the selection of a video card.

    I would not recommend an upgrade of the processor until you install a new video card.  Upgrading the CPU may be an unnecessary expense.

    The P6000 PC has only a power supply 250 watt so that will have to be replaced.  I would look at the Corsair CX600 because it has the power and the appropriate physical dimensions.

    Ultra settings can be a little complicated depending on the game.  I use the NVIDIA GTX 460 with some modern games (COD, BF3 and HAWX 2) with parameters utra without problems.  Right now, I recommend the Sapphire HD 6870.  The 6870 is better than the 460, so you shouldn't have any problems.

  • HP pavilion p6000: memory upgrade

    Have a Pavilion p6000, SN MXX0490MHH, product # BT543AA #ABA.  Provided 4 x 2 GB with 8 GB of ram installed on the chips.  Operating system is Windows 8.1.  Upgrade to 16 GB and bought 4 x 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz, DIMM parts.  Does not seem to accept the new memory.  Question: Is this good memory, and this system will support 16 GB.

    Hello

    Explain what "is not except" means. Windows is not except the new memory or the BIOS does not recognize the memory or the PC does not start with the new memory?

    We cannot answer your question, given the information you have posted.  You can certainly search the forum for others who may or may not have success the upgrade of your particular PC model to 16 GB.

    Try to clear the CMOS memory. If this does not solve the problem then test each one dimm at a time.  Don't forget, with the former PC HP DIMMs need to be a game.

    Try this memory bootable Diagnostics CD. Download memtest86 iso file and burn the disk using Imgburn.

  • Pavilion p6000 series p6633w: power supply upgrade

    Is the format of p6633w and atx pavilion for the power supply compatible, I couldn't find a HP 400w PSU.  They offer a?  The power supply I found is in atx format.

    Thank you for the additional information.

    The power supply unit (PSU) is a standard ATX.  You can use any brand.  As a precaution, I suggest to measure the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose.  I love Corsair products.  In addition, a modular power supply is good for cases of average size.  You can only use the cables needed to allow better air circulation in the case.  I recommend at least 500W.  This will allow more power over the maximum use.

    I have the desktop p6740f with AMD Phenom II 955 Quad processor, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5 TB hard drive memory. There the motherboard N-Alvorix-RS880-formfat (Alvorix). ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics.

My question is, are there things I can do to upgrade this thing to run say, WoW smoothly? Or do I just start from scratch with a completely new system. Do not forget that I am not not looking for a machine mega as if I had. I just want to be able to play without lag even issues with the graphics set on low.

    @lasvegaswireman already told you a new power supply with a GPU card decent.

    As you WIN 7, the BIOS rev max is 7.16 (related to the operating system).  I did a quick support on the HD 4850. It is out of stock. This means that the MSI GTX 750Ti is an excellent choice because it has a legacy and UEFI micro-switch.  You need the legacy support.  MSI GTX 750Ti Newegg shows a 400W PSU.  NewEgg has these two elements.

    It also seems that the fan is on top of the PSU, so when installing, I need to done deal inside the Tower fan?

    It can be installed in any event.  However, the most common way is confronted in the case.

  • HP Pavilion P6000 series (MN: p6710cs-m)

    Hi guys

    I have some problems with this desktop computer. This PC is 1.5 years. I bought an external graphics (GV-R725O5-2gi), but the new GC will not work. I ran the card on an old PC of 5 year with maybe end of 1 PCIe slot that it runs. I have suspected that the card is broken. Stock of 300W power supply, I changed to new 450W. Next step was instalation of the HW on the motherboard, then turn on the PC. This card has no external power supply. The fan on the card works. The PC does not beep ani signals but the screan is black and the PC is no W7 boot. I also have an old (Inno3d GF 7300GS) card for testing. I don't know what interface PCIe gen is the GF 7300 GS but the amd's PCIe Gen 3. The PC works and the start-up of W7 with the GF 7300 GS. I chcked the BIOS for Setup, but it is bad for the config. I turn off power save mode or something like that enable this opt: pic.  My first idea was compatibility question maybe update BIOS version. But when the GF 7300 GS runs that the BIOS is not the problem I think. It is possible that I have to upgrade the BIOS? my version of the bios (2.10.1206) and the site of product extra have a new version (7.15 A Rev. 3.02 M).  Slot PCIe on the PC is 16 X, but the card is only 8 X I have search for PCIe compatibility issues, but CESP 1 standard to the most recent must be compatible. In some cases the PCIe 1 may have some problems. You can put a 3 PCIe Card in a PCIe 2 motherboard and it wil run. Here is the motherboard spec. I think that this configuration should work but I don't know where is the problem. I don't know what to do.  I also read a coment in this forum that the older generation of AMD cards worked well on HP Pavilion P6000 serias. Can you help me???

    PEAK.

    Thanks, Ervin

    Based on specifications, your HP p6710cs is four years old and has a PCIe Gen 2.0 x 16 slot. The card you are trying to use is that GEN 3.0 PCIe may require a mother UEFI based that supports a certain level of specification. Please try to older pre-R7/R9 map as the HD 6000 / 7000 series.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • HP Pavilion P6000: No video

    I have a HP Pavilion p6680t CTO desktop PC, brought brand new around 2012 HP. did not any upgrade at all. Have not used in the last months. Lit signal today, no video on the monitor, keyboard doesn't seem to work (you press NumLock and caps lock, no lights). Tried the monitor on another computer, and the video cable both work very well. The CPU and power supply fans work. The lights on the PC turns on as usual. Any suggestion?

    Call the HP Technical Support. Has released all of the Rams, then put back them in one at a time, which fixed the problem!

    Cluney,

  • Pavilion series P6000: Configure the new HARD drive.

    I install a new Seagate 1 TB HARD drive in a Pavilion P6620F.  What I need to clone new HARD drive or just run the recovery discs?

    It all depends of what your intentions are.

    You are replacing the original disk or adding storage space?

    The simplest method would be to clone the current to the new hard drive, when you replace the original hard drive. Install the drive cloned in the same place where the Moose an and with the same connectors.  Start the PC and everything should be STATED as it was before, except that it will be on a new hard drive.

    If you add a drive for extra storage of storage, it is simply a matter of conecting a sata conector between unused hard drive and a sata header and connect a power connector from the hard drive.

    Once it is done, turn on the PC and log in to Windows.

    Use Windows Explorer to create up to four partitions and then format the partitions.  I am unware of how space exists in the case ATX mid for additional disks.

  • Replacing the power supply on a HP Pavilion P6000

    Outputs video (DVI and VGA) were both released on my motherboard. Rather than go through the hassle of dealing with Microsoft if I had to replace the MB, I decided to install a MSI Geforce 210 graphics card and the existing PCI express slot. However, the existing power is rated at 250 watts and the new video card got a minimum rating of 300 watts. It seems to work, and I don't do any high-end graphics or game. My main uses of the PC are paying bill online, e-mail and a few online forums. Should I replace the power supply with a higher nominal? I have a Hiper Type R PSU which is estimated at 580 watts and was planning to replace it with the 250, but it looks like not her suits because it is deeper than the power installed about half an inch. The deeper power looks like it should stick on a half inch at the rear of the computer when it is against the stop before power in the case. I would like to have some advice on the use of the existing offer or be able to use my power Hiper 580.

    The HP Pavilion P6617C model, which is the number of product BT427AAR developed a standard ATX size power supply. Dimensions (as you know) are 5.9 "x 3.4" on the back and depth 5.5"in the case. The small metal latch/stop button to slide the power supply existing forwards (for removal). There really is no support.

    4 rear mounting screws fix the power supply of the Cabinet. Of concern would be the length, an added 0.7 ", as well as cables/connectors.  You can try the Hiper in the case, and if it fits, OK. Otherwise, I suggest a diet that actually matches the Rosewill 630W

  • No Pavilion P6000 desktop no signal to follow after the lightning

    I had a lightning which has taken on my desktop HP P6000 computer.

    The model number is QN641AA.

    It would not be a signal to the screen. I left the power cord DVI on the graphics card to the motherboard DVI port and it worked for a few minutes.

    I replaced the motherboard with a modernized one and a new graphics card. The renovated is not the same, there a few more places to plug things in exacptly. It is supposed to be compatible and it's HP.

    I also replaced the processor with a new since I damaged the old a. He has been blocked for the cooling fans and I broke 2 pins.

    I don't always get a signal. The hard drive is running, I can hear it. There are no beeps and no lights on the keyboard.

    Any ideas?

    I took it to a computer store. The guy he just tested and said that it's a bad mother "renovated".

    He said he gets a lot of people bringing them after that that they install 'renovated' mothers purchased online to E - Bay.

    He said he thinks he gets as much is because online sellers made test used motherboards that they sell as "refurbished". They just plug in the power outlet and if the LED lights, they say, it's OK.

  • Pavilion P6000: Windows Word starter

    I upgraded to Windows 10 and lost the word progam starter and not able to open any existing file.  I didn't like Windows 10 when even then I reinstalled Windows 7.  I still can't use starting Word. I uninstalled Microsoft office 2010 starter (is it the same thing?) as suggested, but now I can't reinstall it.  When I put them to the top of the desktop window there is no box that says use office starter.  Help, please.

  • HP Pavilion p6000 series: p6719c

    I want to upgrade the system motherboard to increase my system memory, currenty 4 GB.

    I believe that my processor is fine (AMD Phenom II X 4 840 T processor).

    I use this computer to the production base and light music and use my own card external sound.  So far, for how use this count, it works fine.  I just need of more memory.

    I am told that the motherboard on this computer cannot handle more than 4 GB.  So I'm trying to find an upgrade compatible which will not require new fan or hard disk, or processor, power supply, which will allow me to add more ram.

    Thank you for all the suggestions that happen.
