Pavilion Slimline s3120N will not recognize the new video card

I can't get my computer to recognize and use a new video card. I tried 3 cards (GeForce 8400GS... cards 2different and Radeon HD 4550). The computer continues using the onboard video. For each card, I did the following:

Go to configuration, advanced and changed the main graphics card 'on board' to 'PCI-E '.

Saved and let the computer start.

Stop and insert the new video card into the PCI-E slot

Start the computer and installed the latest driver

Computer restarts

No matter what I do, it always uses the embedded video. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. How can I use the PCI-E slot/video card? Any suggestions?

I think that your problem may be the power supply unit (PSU).  The video card that you have installed require a minimum of 300W/350W.  The power supply of your computer is perhaps only 180W; 220W at the most.  You can check by opening the case and by reading the label on.  It's just too much difference for the card to function properly.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    You have in fact potentially two issues to deal with... When BBs are made, they are "locked" to their original media and cannot be used on any other carrier up to this MEP is unlocked. Reference:

    But the error you say does not quite what I'd expect from an MEP lock... but please check after the above and see if your BB is indeed MEP locked... If so, then Yes you need to unlock it until you can use it on any other carrier.

    Or - some SIM cards are delivered with a code of their own necessary to unlock and use. But the supplier of the SIM card which should also give unlock code you with this (if that's what applies to your situation).

    So, I suggest you check to see if your device is still locked MEP... If so, get a code (you may have to pay) and unlock it. Then try the SIM card again. If it still fails then your SIM card provider.

    In addition, please check with your mobile service provider preferred 100% certain that your BB model is 100% compatible with their network for all services.

    Good luck!

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

But the update to this new information through with adobe for a reason even if my smart card works very well literally everywhere else I use online. I called my bank on it twice and they said the payment is displayed that has tried repeatedly, but Adobe is one of the few companies that is not updated with the new EMV technology which use of smart cards, and how they enter my card information (I tried with the service to the customer and that they continue to send me the link sure adobe) is not viable. I talked to 6 Adobe customer service representatives, and they all took my CC me info and reconfirmed my card does not work indeed and told me to call my bank on it.

    I tried to cancel my subscription and sign upward to a new plan using paypal, because it is perhaps my only payment option until Adobe is up-to-date with smart cards. But in order to sign up for a new plan that I have to pay my subscription behind my other plan. I'm completely stuck in a loop here and I have no way to pay.

    Anyone who has solved this, let me know and how.

  • C4385 does not recognize the new router

    Just changed internet service providers.  Although I used this vendor before and not had any problems with my printer, I now have a problem.  My C4385 will not recognize the new network.  Hp network connection software that I run has no effect.   It will not detect a network even if my computer shows an excellent connection to the network.

    When I run the wireless network test report it shows "FAIL" next to "Network Name (SSID) Found."  The recommendation is to "check that your HP printer (SSID) name exactly matches your name (SSID) wireless router.

    I am completely baffled by the present.  I've seen other questions that are similar to this, but none that refer to my model exactly.  Any help is appreciated.

    Please, try the following:

    1. disconnect the USB cable from your printer

    2. make sure to delete any previous copies of your HP printer from the printers (in Control Panel) screen

    3. restart your PC

    4. under the printers screen, enter the following print server properties screen:

    XP: File > print server properties

    Vista: right click on the area of the screen information, and then select run as administrator > print server properties (law as Administrator option will not allway appear)

    Win7: Select any other printer in a left click and you will see the properties of the print server to the Menu bar top

    On the Ports tab, be sure to remove any existing TCP/IP port.

    5. remove temporarily disable your firewall software

    6. start the installation and select reconfigure the network connection / add a device.

  • Fuze 4 GB will not recognize the change of information tracking

    Right then, I had some problems with my Fuze MP3 player. When I download the new music on the device, the ID3 tags all come out the way they are supposed to. However, if I remove the music that is on the drive and replace it with the same tracks with ID3s update, it will not recognize the change of title, album, or artist, if the song file will be updated. I know because I had problems with the songs with the same name or accidentally given songs the name of another song, which resulted in incorrectly labeled music.

    I tried to format the drive, I tried to remove the music manually in the file system, I tried to change the USB mode and delete the file that I said holds the ID3 data, and I tried all the possible permutations of disconnection and let the Player recognizes the changes. This includes the removal of all the music in the player, disconnection of the latter, confirming that there is no music on the system, to change the USB mode, deleting the file with the ID3 information, turning the rear USB mode, reconnect, put my music on the device, and the problems have not been resolved.

    It is likely, it is just to be fickety, and there is something I'm don't is not right, but it's the second "rocket" I've owned - I love the model and went up to return a Fuze + in favour of the former model - and one has never had this problem. I'm willing to try anything within reason to solve the problem, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    In fact, the problem was not as expected at all. I think it turns the problem is Windows Media Player, which I only use to sync my music on my MP3 player, had a library with outdated information. So after the Player update multimedia, I refreshed my library recordings and everything worked as you wish. I just to make sure that if I make changes to existing songs in my library.

    Thanks for all the help, guys, guess it was on my end.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    Any ideas on why my Airport Extreme will not recognize the system after the integration of the time Capsule in my system? Continues to have a flashing yellow light after trying all suggestions of technicians from the Apple Store and Internet provider.

    Since we don't know all what has been tried, we will have to start from the beginning if you don't mind.

    What exact models are your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule? What is the brand and model of your modem Internet? I'll assume that Extreme is your "main" router and is directly connected to the modem by Ethernet... correct?

    Do you have the Time Capsule (TC) connected to the extreme, by wire or wireless? What is your goal for the TC? In other words, will not be used to extend the reach of the extreme wireless?

    Hello

    I was able to determine that there is some kind of corruption of the WMC files that Windows 7 can not solve (according to the event log).

    I'm a bit exasperated at the tenacity of this problem. Y at - it a reliable fix or I need to reinstall Windows 7?
