PS and HP Pavilion p6115y desktop video card update help

I have a HP Pavilion p6115y desktop computer. Windows 7 64 bit dual core AMD processor. 4 GB of ram with integrated Nvidia 9100 video. I just bought an EVGA GTS450 and found that it requires a 400w power supply. My p6115y is supplied with a 300w ps. What ps would be necessary and would be the case? This may damage the motherboard by uping the ps? Should I exchange the GTS 450 for something lower? Hope not because I want to run SKYRIM and I feel a little studdering with Oblivon.

Hello

You might want to look at the requirements system recommeded for SkyRim.

Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

PSU Corsair CX500 will adapt to your PC and has enough power for most video cards except the higher end video cards.

For a video card, ATI 6850 is a very good buy at $130 after rebate.

Open your PC and do some measuring to ensure that the map will adjust (it should).  The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

These "how-to" HP articles should be useful.

    Thank you.  I understand I PCIEX16 used by the current video card.  I guess my question is there, which is now compatible with that?  Once again, I am looking for a video card with HDMI and would like it have 1 GB of power, if it is possible.  Thanks again!

    Hello

    Yes, it is possible. Please check this list to find out the card fits your budget. Please also note do not buy card that needs high power (approximately 10w - 15w more your existing card should be ok) otherwise you will have to buy a new power supply.

    Alpela, welcome to the forum.

    I have reviewed the requirements for WoW, MoP, and it seems that the video card and PSU should do what you want.  I suggest to measure the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose.  I think it should fit without any problem, however.

  • Pavilion a6530f: what video card installed works for Windows 10 and a 300W power supply?

    I have a6530f a desktop Pavilion PC.  I am currently running Windows 7 and am interested in upgrading to Windows 10.  I get and error message when you try to install the W10.  "NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430".  I think I need to improve my video card.  Can what video card I install that will work for Windows 10 and is rated for the power supply 300W in my lap?  I'm not very techie.

    Many of these inexpensive graphics cards for Newegg.com should work with Windows 10. Just watch for those who require a 300 watt power supply system or less.

    Drivers for these cards may be on the page drivers GeForcefunds. Simply select the card in the drop-down list or use the "Auto-Detect".

  • Pavilion Media Center m8430f Desktop video card replacement

    For about a month now my desktop computer Pavilion Media Center m8430f is at the origin of the yellow spots, blue stripes and dots to arrive on the screen then the computer hangs. Moniter is a G185h Acer which I use from 2010 when the original monitor is released.  I also get yellow wavy lines then in safe mode.

    So the thought is the video card went bad and needs replaced.  I picked up a Galaxy GeForce NVIDIA GT 610 to replace the NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT. Two questions - will be my Pavilion Media Center m8430fbe to handle this card? How could I go on install?  I checked the instructions to install a new video card, but none of them relates to my machine.

    I thank you in advance for any help or insght, you can give in this case.

    According to the specifications of your desktop PC and your new GalaxyTech video card, it should be a good fit and work without problems.

    You connected a different view to make sure that was not the view South instead of the video card prior to purchase of the video card?

    I will try to find a video for you on how to replace the map.  Fact!

    The video I found must be adapted. Your original PCI Express X 16 video card not a probably not power connector 6 pin which is described in the video, or the connector on the fan.

    The video author does not mention it, but for safety reasons, remove the power connector. Unplugging everything. Working with the PC as it does and use a table or a workbench with everything external to the offline desktop.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion p6-2104ed: video card - GTX 750 problems

    Hello

    Recently the video card that came with my desktop pc grilled (7570 Radeon), and I bought a new GTX750.

    This because the suppliers suggested HP to the Netherlands wanted to charge me 360 euros for a video card replacement 3 years, which seems a bit silly because I can get a better one for only 100 euros.

    Unfortunately, the new video card does not work with the current BIOS. My system BIOS is from 2012 (even if the time stamp in the page of drivers before the update said his starting in 2014). It seems that, like many other HP computers this bios does not support the full uefi videocard, I bought.

    I see several options, but would like input on what way to go.

    Is there an update of compatible bios for my system other than the one on the page of the driver (who says its from 2014, but in reality is 2012)

    Otherwise, what video card would you propose that would work on my system?

    My bios version:

    BIOS version / Date FRIEND 7.16, 23/03/2012

    My now broken (except the radeon card) complete system features

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c03280789

    Semi-resolu!

    Although eachother dislikes the biosses from the video card and the desktop computer, you can still get around it by pressing alt + F10 when booting and wait about 30 seconds for 3 beeps. After that, it continues to the windows login screen.

    Startup takes a little longer now, but the video card works great and has significantly improved the performance of the hour game

    Assuming that HP doesn't bother to update the bios (since they do not have 2012, about a year after the release of the desktop computer), this seems the best solution other than choosing a lesser videocard not uefi

  • Pavilion 9220y video card update

    Hello
    I was hoping that an expert can help me upgrade/configure a new video card for a desktop HP Pavilion Elite 9220y.

    I have done the research to shed light on the issue, but would REALLY appreciate some help!

    So just that the machine has now integrated ATI Radeon HD 4350 - that it comes with, who I am is of course very well for the casual user, but I want a massive update to play new games.  Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this computer, so I can't build a new machine custom, so I just want to update my video card today... the rest of the system works very well if.

    My questions are:

    • Can I upgrade the video card on this specific computer HP Pavillion 9220y?
    • I read that I can replace the card using the PCIex16 slot? but is this slot PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0?  I could not find in the sheets...
    • If so, what kind of cards are compatible with it and are good for games?
    • I buy a power supply additionanl to run the additional power demand?  If so, what is a good thing that will work for the 9220y? http://www.Newegg.com/store/subcategory.aspx?subcategory=58&name=power-supplies

    It's just a lot to wrap around my head and I want to make sure I go about it the right way, before you update or buy anything!
    Again, any help would be appreciated more
    Steve

    Hi Steve,.

    1. Yes, you can install a video card in your PC.

    2. the discrete graphics card will move into the slot PCI-E x 16.  HP is not posting slot PCI-E card, but a video designed to the 2.0 PCI card will normally be backward compatible with the PCI 1.x ports.

    3 game cards have different levels of performance and your choice will depend on the game being used and set of parameters. Check out forum and the game manufacturer's web site and see what others are using.

    4. more decent video cards will require a bigger power supply.  The p9220y has only a 300 Watt power supply.

    Here are the specifications of the motherboardfor the p9220y. Since most of the better video cards are wider than normal single slot card, then adjacent locations on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

    I make a few suggestions, but I'm really in the dark about your playing conditions.

    TheCorsair CX600should have enough power for most video cards.

    TheNVIDIA GTX 550 TIshould have enough power for most video games with the higher settings. Screen resolution is a factor of performance.

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet.  Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. Specifications
    2. Total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. Warranty
    6. I7 and SLI ready
    7. Efficiency rating
    8. Cost
    9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
    10. Only one + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

    www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

    Review the performance of NVIDIA specifications. Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

  • Pavilion p6 - 2127c: video card Compatible hdmi for Pavilion p6 - 2127c

    I have a Pavilion p6 - 2127c in my conference room, desktop computer connected to a TV 50 "flat on the wall. I would like to connect using an HDMI cable, but there is no HDMI port. What type of video card should I buy that is compatible with the office and for the videos and presentations (no game)? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Cmann225, welcome to the forum.

    Here is a video card that should work with your computer.  However, you should check ASUS website to find out what power supply unit (PSU) is necessary.  It indicates that 75W is required, but it is the power supplied by the PCI Express x 16 slot.  This means that there is no need an additional power connector.  The power supply of the computer is 300W.  Also, check to make sure that the card does not require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS with ASUS.

  • Pavilion H8 - 1287c: is the Pavilion H8 - compatible video card EVGA GTX 970 1287c

    I improved the diet of a CX750 Corsair of the 500W this desktop computer comes with the factory.  I was aware before you buy the video card POWER supply might be a limitation.

    With the previous BIOS (7.09) I have tried several things as shown below.  I've always had to a screen where it would beep three times with 10-20 seconds between each beep then it would go to a black screen with a blinking cursor, but you couldn't do anything.

    enabling/disabling the VGA Palette

    toggling SERR # generation

    It is a pain to change the bias, I have need to use the original video card, then replace it with the GTX 970 to see if it worked.

    I called EVGA and they recommended upgrading the BIOS, so I've updated to 8.21.  When the power nothing happens now.  The LCD even lights.  Secure boot is disabled.

    I contacted EVGA, once more and they said I had to contact HP to determine if the computer is compatible with their video card.  This is necessary to receive an RMA number.

    Hello

    First, change the BIOS settings that you changed will do more harm than good.  Change these settings back

    Remove the graphics card and connect the monitor to the motherboard. Your PC starts with the video? If so, then open the command RUN and enter: MSINFO32

    Your PC is running in legacy or mode UEFI?
