Save or not? Replacement graphics card

Hello guys,.

I was wondering if I had to back up my data on my imac when getting to the graphic card replaced because there are 5 green lines on the start screen. I found my exact problem else where on this community, but the thing is I'm unable to access the utility from time machine backup drive.

Thank you

Yes, you should always back up before replacements of material, or send your computer to the service.

Utility of disc has nothing to do with Time Machine or backups, so I don't know what the problem is that you worry about. Please explain, or after a more detailed explanation.

  • Replace graphics card

    Hello

    on my HP ENVY dv7 7399el can I replace the graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GT M 635 with better?

    Thank you

    Not without having to install a different motherboard, which is not economically or practically feasible.

    This Board is the GT650M, which is only a little better than yours. This is the best available for your system:

    682040 501

    HP is out of stock. I found one on eBay for about $230. Labor would be an another $150 or more if you can find someone to do the upgrade.

  • Adding (not replace) sound card

    Each computer previously owned included extra slots for expansion cards - not if my Pavilion HPE-112Y, product #VT637AAR-ABA. What's worse, the sound Manager is not a separate card but is integrated into the motherboard - and this device is upward. I still can't play audio files via Windows Media Player, Quicktime, or other programs, but the audio device apparently incorrectly reports the type of file to other programs. This sabotaged my ability to load sound in Poser 8 that I could do otherwise.

    With the help of support staff to ask, I ruled out all other possibilities (I just downloaded and installed the latest codec for Windows 7 pack, which excluded the last alternative cause. "I'm NOT lack of codecs).

    Replace the welded sound device is out of the question, so how can I add a sound card?

    Madmilt, welcome to the forum.

    This is the page for Specifications of the motherboard of the computer.  Look at the section called "Expansion Slots.  It shows that you have 3 each PCI Express x 1 slots for a sound card.  These locations are faster than the former PCI ports.   The map in the link I provided has hundreds of good reviews and is rated at 4 eggs with an excellent price. Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it. They will give you the straight scoop without exaggeration of the manufacturer.

    You can try to completely uninstall the audio device driver and put it back in place before buying a card.

  • Area 51 ALX replacement graphics cards

    Hi all.

    A lot of time since I've been here! Must have a machine without problem since I'm the last one here!

    In any case, I hope someone can help me. Unfortunately, one of my HD5970 died. I run with a single card at the moment.

    I would like to buy and install a new card / cards, but I have no idea what I could buy that would run modern games in high graphics settings. I wish they were (money allows it!) spec high as the 5970 Crossfire were where this machine was new, which would go with happiness as a straight swap in my machine.

    I would rather stick with AMD Radeon and if possible, with Crossfire unless a single card will do the same high-end work these days!

    Can anyone suggest something to upgrade who will work OK?

    Thank you! :)

    Then, after getting my set up the back and purchased work GTAV HD5970 2 x. I suspect the GPU are probably strong enough to run the game, but 2 GB of memory is clearly not. I couldn't run THAT GTAV into something better than the graphics card settings decent half in 1440 x 900 before the graphics memory failed. He looks well. :-(

    So, I decided to upgrade. I took the plunge with a 4 GB XFX R9 290 X reference (uses the same 8 & 6 pins power supply as the HD5970 cards) and apart from having to hit the power cables that powered the old two card put in place so that we're feeding the socket 8 pin and another feeds taking 6 pins, all is well and flies GTA in single monitor 1920 x 1080 at high or very high graphics settings.

    Happy for the moment. :-)

    Thanks for the help!

  • First Pro CC recognizes no not my graphics card

    I just changed with her fine, that not all sudden cc Premiere Pro do not recognize card one EMT is disabled

    Map of MT is a 660 GTX

    If Windows, it is 'enough' common that a Windows Update will change 'just enough' that a graphics card driver will become outdated

    If Windows,

    Right-click an open area of the Windows desktop

    Select NVIDIA Control Panel from the pop-up

    Select the SYSTEM INFORMATION in the lower left corner

    Version of the driver should be the 1st line in detail

    For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have information about the current drivers

    -You must go directly to the vendor's web site and check the updates by yourself

    If the card is 32 cm (12.6 ") in length, it might not fit into the space provided.  You should stay at 9 "(22,86 cm) or less."  I love the XFX cards, however.  They are my first choice.

    > Can you replace the graphics card in the laptop?

    No, the GPU can not be upgraded
    Even if you would be able to remove the GPU of the motherboard and plug another chip, I guess that the BIOS would not address the new graphics card.

    You are very limited in the hardware upgrade of the mobile
    What you can upgrade are parties such as RAM or HARD drive. Sometimes the CPU can be updated, but it is also not supported by the laptop manufacturer.
