Replacement/upgrade graphics card

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone in this forum can help me with my video card problem.

Here is my PC details:

Model No.: 6RPXE1

Compaq Presario computer

Intel (R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 1.90 GHZ

1.89 GHZ, 0.99 GB of RAM

XP Pro - SP3 2002

Intel (R) 82845 G/GL controller 64 MB graphics

BIOS - 68602 v 2.14

1016 MB RAM

Version of direct X 9 .0c

I am an amateur photographer and I would like to use this PC to make a photo (using Photoshop and other similar applications) editing and also would like (if possible) to connect to my HDTV plasma (only has HDMI and DVI input) may use as a second monitor or simply to watch videos. As far as space is concerned, I have a 500 GB external hard drive, which I connected to the PC via the USB port.

My question is: what type of card (on a somewhat tight budget) will I need to do? And if any other update I'll need for this purpose?

Any help/suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Buy a new PC with a discrete video card that has both a DVI or HDMI output.

  • Satellite A-C50-1DV - replacing a graphics card

    Hypothetically, if I wanted to replace the graphics card in my C50-A-1DV Satellite, how would I go on this subject?

    And if I had to send my laptop, how much would it cost?

    At first, I must say that upgrade or replacement of the GPU is not officially supported and all action in this sense is at your own risk.
    Please note that laptop disassembly will void the warranty.

    But we are talking hypothetically about all this.
    What you need to do is to get new GPU, disassemble your laptop, Exchange and assemble your laptop.
    On some models of computers laptop GPU is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be traded. I put t know how it is on your machine.
    > And if I had to send my laptop, how much would it cost?
    If the GPU is faulty and warranty still valid best option for you is o closest contact Toshiba service provider and ask for help. In case you want to upgrade, Toshiba service will help you with this.

    Can you please tell us what the problem with your machine and the original of the graphics card?

    There is no graphics removable, replaceable and upgradable 'cards' in your laptop.

    Greetings,

    I want to replace my graphics card, I have a desktop HP Pavilion 763n PC. It still has the original DDR RAM 512 specification and graphic video GeForce4 MX420 64 MB DDR.

  • Can I replace the graphics card on Tecra M2?

    I have a Tecra M2 and the display shows verticle lines across the entire screen. These lines also appear when plugged upward on a normal screen.
    I checked Device Manager and it says that the nvidia card "cannot start." The problems had me uninstall and won't reinstall, no luck.
    Next option is to unplug and then plug back in, but is it possible? If it is separate would rather just replace the card. Thanks for any help.

    From your description of the error, this really sounds like a malfunction of the GPU (graphics processing unit).
    Unfortunately, it is a serious offense and if a replacement of material you will not be able to fix this :(

    It is a case value because you can not only replace the graphics card. You need to replace the whole motherboard because the GPU is soldered on the Board and cannot be removed easily.

    There is nothing to my buddy.
    Seems that you need to contact a support technician.

    Good luck

    Hi samuniv,

    As you can read in 100 other threads, it of not possible to replace the graphics card because it s fixed/soldered to the motherboard. Therefore, an Exchange is not possible.
    You should also check out this interesting article:
