Range of HP Pavilion 500 computers: recovery readers are ammuned to infections of virus and malware

HI I was just curious since I was a disc on this witch Office recovery is a Recovery Image (D).  I was wondering if by chance, I had an infection on this desktop can a virus or malware infecting the recovery Image reader and destroy the files inside the car by also infect them as well.

I was also wondering as a user by accident, I've had systems infected previous operating I was wondering is it a good idea to use a program that can do your disc images and allows also to clone the hard disk as well.  Having one of these free programs like macruim think would be a good idea for a user like me?

I was wondering also is the recovery Image reader is ammuned to virus infections or malware?

Thank you very much for your help, it is always appreciated

Hello

Besides what TheOldMan seconded and advised, I would like to add that if it is possible, it is very unlikely because of the way the virus and malware work today and because of theway the function of recovery partitions.

I mean, you can't rely 100% on the recovery partitions, they are good, but not 100% subject to attacks or loss. However, if your PC ever be infected, this does not mean that the recovery of the partitions will become infected and unuable.

  • HP Pavilion 500-130DE: HP Pavilion 500-130DE do not see the graphics card in windows and can not change the primary graphics card.

    So I got a new (TG 640) graphics card for my pc. I tested it on another computer the day before. Worked well. I plugged my HP Pavilion 500-130DE and started. I changed my slot onboard DVI cable to the GT 640 and cable says no signal. While the pc was still on I switched the cable back to the integrated graphical location motherboard and got the windows login screen. So I thought that BIOS yet configured when the integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4600). I turned off the pc and booted to BIOS. But I've never seen a such limited BIOS before! Only thing you change is boot order. I saw a tab advanced but could not find the settings that I needed. In the only device manager devices that appears is the HD 4600. So I checked power is 300W should be sufficient for a map of 75W (only need the PCI for power). Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hello

  • 500-300na Pavilion: problem with Pavilion 500-300na (mother of Memphis-S) - Dead / no beeps sound and video

    Hello - I hope someone can help me please

    I have desktop PC HP Pavilion 500-300na.
    The PC worked very well without problem - I went for a stay of two weeks during which the PC was not in use and power was turned off. I'm back from vacation and the PC does not work now.

    When you press the power button, the LED lights up, CPU fan, electric fan and the two spin system fan. There is no video. There is no beep error codes. What is it - actually dead.
    If I hold the button for about 5 to 10 seconds, the fans run down, but the rest spinning CPU fan.

    What I've done so far:

    Tried another monitor.
    Tried a different power supply.
    Powered by the motherboard on its own with any other disconnected.
    Taken the Cmos battery on the motherboard for 1 min and replaced it.
    Clean the dust from the fans (they were not so bad as to be honest).

    The machine worked with in PCI16 slot video card - I removed this for the test. As I can't get into the Bios, I can't put in the work of the "mother video card." Not sure if it is a problem.
    The unit has a strip of 8 GB of ram DDR3 - I tried this in another location without any changes.
    I have not tested the ram. I have not tested the CPU or deleted one of the fans / heat sinks.

    Thanks for any help you can provide
    Chris

    Okay, I think THAT I managed to fix it and understand what the problem was.

    I think the problem was double - first of all, before the problem started, Technical Assistance from HP have a BIOS update and download. I think that this update changed the Startup Configuration in the BIOS to "ENABLED" Secure.

    Not really a problem. . BUT...

    The video card I was running was a riser and secure boot DISABLED neeeded and legacy support ENABLED.

    I have reset the BIOS using the jumper (bios password) information – I also did a 'blind' changing information from the bios to switch to the use of the video of the motherboard (bash F10 for 10 seconds at the start, then three arrows down, then two returns... This pass BIOS to "Apply default settings and exit"). I don't know who really helped, but the machine comes up in life.

    I put the information here, in which case another experience a similar problem.

  • Pavilion 500: 6 beeps continuous motherboard when GTX 460 is installed and computer, no signal to monitor

    I recently got a gtx 460 s decision-making and wanted to put it in my computer, I have a different diet that is 700 watts and the two connectors 6-pin at the back of the computer, the card is also sitting (re-sitting several times - not the question) I also I added more than 8 gigabytes of ram to the motherboard, I tried to remove it and start the computer , but it still sounds. Also, I can't access the bios because the monitor receives no signal.

    the question I want to know is, have all the required connectors? because it seems that there is an another slot of tiny psi on the top of the card and also if my motherboard only supports the card.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    If your PC comes with Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 of the plant, you need to change two parameters of the BIOS before installing a video card no HP.

  • Hi, the reversible full system recovery or whole computer disappeared forever? Also do a full recovery deletes all viruses and malware.

    In addition, I did a restore of the entire system using 4 built on samsungs recovery solutions my laptop twice in recent weeks that I was worried about malware and viruses hidden.

    Hello

    A restore to factory normally wipes the hard drive clean of everything except at the start of the recovery process, it asks you if you want to perform a non-destructive recovery.

    And it is irreversible.

    Normally, the destructive recovery will wipe a malicious software.

    This program can recover data, even after a reinstall:

  • HP Pavilion 500-326na: upgrade of power supply for HP Pavilion 500-326na

    Last year, I bought a HP Pavilion 500-326na. I now want to update its graphics and to do this, I need to power level. I want to upgrade to a CX500, but the specs say that his current power is "external". I don't know what this means, and indeed, I don't know if I will be able to upgrade. I see no reason why I shouldn't be, but everything I've seen only offers assistance on internal types.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Look at the power supply cord.  If you have a device of black brick similar to those for portable computers, then you have an external power supply. PC with external cannot be upgraded with the installation of an internal power supply as a Corsair CX500 according to HP internal.

  • HP Pavilion 500-311no: the hp Pavilion 500-311no upgrade

    Hp Pavilion 500-311no desktop PC, I bought a few years ago and now I feel like I would get some more power out of it then is it possible to upgrade this computer. I use mostly this pc for a game so what I'm looking to upgrade is the gpu. It seems that the motherboard supports the latest grphics cards and I think they should also fit the case. Incase of replacement parts, the power supply needs to be replaced probably as well. Also overclocking motherboard support and how the overclocking and replacement parts affect warranty?

    Greetings,

    You have some positives on your side:

    PCIe available x 16 slot 3.0.

    UEFI BIOS.

    Your chassis will limit the duration of the update of the graphics card.

    You have only a 300 Watt power supply.

    Most of the HP motherboards cannot be overclocked. I have a processor Intel 4820 K. HP offers limited overclocking abilities with this processor.

    Check the measurements on the existing power supply.  A diet of 600 runs most new graphics cards high-end. NVIDIA cards tend to require less energy than equivalent AMD cards.

    Check the height of the rear panel input/output where the x 16 slot is to determine the maximum length of a new card.

    Shop for a new card graphics and power supply when you know your limits. The high-end cards are usually double slot. Make sure you have room to install a card double slot. You need to be able to burst a second plate of input/output rear panel to install a dual slot graphics card.

    Modular power supplies reduce tangles of cables in the chassis.

    See you soon!

  • HP Pavilion 500-141ea: GPU for HP pavilion 500-141ea

    Hello

    A couple of years ago, I bought a HP pavilion 500-141ea, I am now looking to upgrade the GPU and the power supply on this subject. I want to replace the old GPU with a GTX 960 but I unure know if it is compatible with my motherboard because I'm not sure if it has the version of the bios that is needed to support the 960 GTX

    Information on the motherboard:

    MS-7778 (Jasmine)

    BIOS version: FRIEND 80.46 10/03/2013

    If it doesn't not work could offer you some suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Madness 78, welcome to the forum.

    960 GTX requires UEFIin the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS / Legacy.  Your motherboard has UEFI.  You have two things to consider: 1) the power required to run the video card correctly and 2) the length of the card.  The power supply unit (PSU) to the count is 300W.  I think that you will need a minimum of 400W.  I recommend a block of power SUPPLY Corsair of at least 500W.  The modular power supply to reduce the number of cables you are using.  This allows for better air circulation.  You can determine if the card fits by the measure of the e/s rear plate at the front of the computer.  This will allow you to see if it fits and if other ingredients will be in the way of this Assembly.

  • Missing drivers for the new installation of XP SP 3 on HP Pavilion 500-202eo

    Hello.

    So I tried to make XP SP 3 to work on my new desktop HP Pavilion 500-202eo. I have partioned the disk in two and was able to install and modify Windows 7 on the other partition, largely with the support of the HP drivers for my model successfully. However I have not found any support for XP drivers for this model, or any other similar models in the 500 series with APU AMD A6 material - 6400 k Radeon HD graphics card. Installing XP went well, but I'm not having any sound, internet or USB 3 support options. In Device Manager, the following components are marked in yellow with the error code 28:

    Audio device on High Definition Bus Audio

    Ethernet controller

    Network controller

    SM Bus controller

    USB controller Universal Serial Bus

    Video controller VGA compatible

    I tried to install the drivers Realtek for XP at least addressing the absence of sound, but it doesn't seem to make a difference, and when I point the Add Wizard of material on file with the drivers Realtek he says that it cannot find the correct drivers. You have any suggestions where I can find the software needed?

    Hello:

  • HP Pavilion 500-314: big problems by adding an external video card

    You are looking for assistance.

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion 500-314.  Specifications are the following:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04293928

    The unit includes the integrated graphics card Radeon R7 and comes with a 300w power supply

    I bought this unit in large part because it states explicitly that "supports PCI Express x 16 graphics cards".  I run a quad-monitor configuration for my work and traditionally did it this using a card ATI over-pants 2450.

    I tried now three different external graphics cards and can get any of them to work:

    First attempt was with a VisionTec Radeon HD 5570 (point #900345).  This card supports quad-monitor configuration and requires a minimum power of 250w.  When I installed the card, the HP Pavilion beeps several times a series of 4 or 5 (can't remember which) emits a beep, but refused to send an image to a video output (either on board or the new card).

    Next attempt was with an EVGA GeForce GT 610.  It's a Setup dual monitor and requires a minimum 300w power supply.  Got the same exact response as with the VisionTec (i.e. the series of beeps... computer would not start all monitors).

    So both of these cards (new), I basically gave up immediately that I couldn't in the BIOS (b/c wouldn't monitors) to see what was going on.  My understanding is that the series of 4-5 beeps usually means that there is a problem of graphics card, or the card that was added doesn't have enough power.  It's frustrating, because the HP Pavilion 500-314 a supposedly a 300w power supply, which is at least equal to the minimum required for each of these cards.

    At this point, I took out the ATI over-pants 2450 my old machine and tried.  This card at least has not caused the series of 4-5 beeps.  Windows has started.  However, once I log in, Windows tries to install the new (card over-pants) repeatedly, only then, the screen flashes and blinks and flashes.  Then I went into the BIOS.  The BIOS indicates that the system recognizes the card, and that the integrated video has been disabled.  However, there is always a signal coming out of the onboard video output (DVI), so it is not in fact actually disabled.  My feeling is that Windows is trying to control two separate video cards (edge + external), which is what causes the problems.  I can turn off the graphics card over-pants w/under Windows (in Safe Mode) and let the card installed, and things work fine.  However, as soon as I try and activate the card, I get endless cycle flashing monitors.

    I spent a few long sessions with HP technical support and they were useless.  They claim that this is not a problem of HP as the embedded video works fine.  I find this extremely frustrating response.  I think it is a matter of HP, because BIOS doesn't seem to be properly disable the onboard video.  Not to mention that the PC can't seem to properly interface with Windows compatible 8 PCI-E cards that claim explicitly require less energy than this unit has.

    I'm usually pretty computer savvy, but have reached my wits end on this one.  I'd appreciate any help anyone could provide.  I tried all kinds of combinations of variables (i.e. enabling integrated video, setting external card at the elementary level, etc.) through the BIOS, but also combinations of w/under Windows, disable integrated video, but nothing is working.

    900345 VisionTek Radeon HD 5570 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16

    Big_Dave,

    Thanks a lot for your quick response.

    The first time that I spoke with HP support, they had me disable secure boot.  Unfortunately my problems (i.e. the cards would not install correctly).  However, after reading the link you provided that I was inspired to try things one last time with a new beginning.  I uninstalled all drivers, removed all cards, re-engaged start-up secured, restarted, close, disabled secure boot, reinstalled the cards and rebooted.  And, this time, the system accepts the card GeForce GT 610.

    Difficult for me to express how grateful I am to you.  I spent two weeks and countless hours trying to get this corrected.  Just I found these forums earlier wish.

  • Pavilion 500-307nd: create additional partitions without endangering the recovery option

    I just bought a new HP pavilion 500-307nd, it has a 2 TB hard drive. Currently, it contains the recovery partition (10 GB), the rest is used as one and only one primary partition. I would like to divide this (close to 2 TB) a partition into three partitions: a primer containing the system and software, two for the storage of data only. The recovery partition will remain intact. That would be a problem? I'll always be able to use the if necessary recovery partition?

    Bart, welcome to the forum.

    Here's a guide that should help you.  Before you begin you must make a backup of all your personal data.  If you have not done so, you should do the System Recovery discs for the computer, too.  This will allow you to recover the computer if you have problems creating the partitions.
