Should I have this CPU 8 connector with PSU video card?

I got a power supply and a video card today and the PSU has a 8 - pin CPU power connector and I was wondering if I needed or I could just stick with the 4-pin. I had a Radeon 4850 I put in the tower with a rocket fish 550W PSU. What the 4 - extra pin so for, a dual core cpu maybe?

I figured out that the card wouldn't work with this motherboard. Problem solved.

  • My computer crashes randomly (usually by moving the mouse) and Microsoft, NVIDIA tried everything to fix it with no luck. Anyone having this problem? I have an Alienware Area 51 with two video cards in SLI 8800 and 4 GB of RAM.

    The display freezes randomly. The Windows desktop, on the Web pages and during the games. This problem started when I had Vista and I have improved the thought that the BONE was the problem. It is not the case. I added 2 GB of the thought of RAM I need more to no luck. I have now deleted 1 graphics card and the problem persists. I deleted all software except the OS and the problem persists. When you start Windows in safe mode, that the computer does not freeze.

    You are either having a video card driver problem or a ram memory stick problem.  I suggest that you check your ram and the settings in the BIOS.  Use security settings BIOS for the ram as the auto setting.  The Intels i7 have a little problem sometimes with more than one ram Strip and having the highest speed at stake.  Check this and get back with me. I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of c.r.a.p. and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

    (1) AMD Radeon HD M 7730
    (2) Intel(r) HD Graphics 4000

  • CS6 Production Premium supports AMD graphics cards? Specifically over-pants M6100. If so, all the features work with the M6100, or are there features that work only with nVidia video cards?

    CS6 Production Premium supports AMD graphics cards? Specifically over-pants M6100. If so, all the features work with the M6100, or are there features that work only with nVidia video cards?

    CS6 does support OpenCL and OpenGL?

    Are all features that CS6 supports for NVidia Cuda available for the M6100 OpenCL?

    Bill supposed to first Pro CC (not CS6) response. Windows of Premiere Pro CS6 version does not support OpenCL for accelerating GPU of MPE. Therefore, there is no "opencl_supported_cards.txt" file in the folder of Premiere Pro, and the code to OpenCL is disabled permanently in all versions of Windows from Premiere Pro CS6. So, for your over-pants M6100 Premiere Pro CS6 will be permanently locked to only software MPE mode. (Acceleration GPU of MSES in the Windows of Premiere Pro CS6 version is limited to the CUDA only, which means that only NVIDIA for GPU - no AMD over-pants or GPU Radeon support CUDA at all.)

  • Please help me with the video card and power supply issues!

    Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I'll try and do a short explanation, but I can't promise anything. I bought an a6620f Pavilion about 2 months ago I didn't know that you had to purchase a special hardware in order to play video games. In any case, I bought about 300.00 worth of new video games and none of them works. they say because of my video card. Then try to buy a new video card and it won't work because I only have a 250 watt power supply. I spoke with a hp technician before you buy a PSU and I was told that my motherboard was only designed to use a 300 watt max power I tried to buy one at best buy and the clerk said 4500 is the smallest they sell. and I need at least a 400 Watt or powerrsupply to make the new video card with a value of buyiong. My questuion is what can I do if I can't buy one more big power supply how can I install a new video casrd? Please help me I'm lost

    Hi chefinomaha,

    Sorry to hear about your frustration. Here's some good news.

    I think you have been misinformed or there was a communication error. Your motherboard should not be limited to the only 300W. I don't know with certainty how high you can go in watts, but you can go higher and should go higher, if you add a video card.

    The important thing is to get the right kind of diet that fits your connectors.

    Here's your motherboard page.

    Here is a document with step-by-step instructions and video for adding a video card.

  • How should I address slow games due to hardware acceleration / video card driver incompatibility?

    When I connect play games such as Spades and backgammon, it is very slow, I don't enjoy the experience.  before starting the game, I get the following message: "hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by the video card driver".  I desperately need help to solve this problem!

    Hi Julenile,

    Thanks for the post.   It seems that you have a problem with the settings of graphics card. Please answer the following questions, it will help us in the right direction.

    Do you know what brand and model of video card you have?

    Find the name of your video card is, and then go to the manufacturer website and download the latest driver for this video card. Make sure you get one that corresponds to your version of Windows 7.

    Most video cards have some type of control panel of their own which are accessible by right-clicking anywhere on the desktop. But without knowing what you have the video card, we cannot really talk about hardware acceleration.

    Should the adapter or the video card supports hardware acceleration and if the appropriate drivers must be installed.   If your graphics (video device) enables hardware acceleration, you can read the following steps to enable hardware acceleration.

    a. Click Start, click Control Panel.

    b. double-click personalization and select display settings.

    c. click on Advanced settings.

    d. click change settings on the Troubleshooting tab.

    e. move the Hardware Acceleration slider to Activate.

    f. click apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.

    g. click OK to close the display properties dialog box.

    h. restart Windows.

    I hope this helps.

  • Problems with the video card and sound card on Toshiba model #PSLCOU - 02701G

    I bought a new laptop in 2009, and it is a Toshiba, model #PSLCOU - 02701G. After about three months the video card and the sound began to spoil. It's what he does, I can go on U-tube or any web site that has a video to watch like CNN news, etc. What it does is it starts to play and the video and the sound is good and he paused for a few seconds and starts again, new breaks and pauses, starts, pauses, starts. He does it all the time, and I was wondering if you all have any idea whats going on? Help? Help?

    It really sucks when you try to watch the news. Also, I put a CD or DVD into the laptop and it works perfectly. I can watch any DVD or listen to a GREAT Cd.

    How is your network connection?  Sometimes, the system needs to create a cache to store the downloaded information and if the download is not pass quickly enough the system will freeze while wiaiting for download to catch up - not a problem with your sound cards and video, but with the speed of Connection on the website or on the network itself (or your network equipment).  This looks like the case if the DVD and the CD's works fine.  Check your internet connection and try to download the video pages to see if the problem is with all the downloads, or only those on a site.  You can contact your ISP and have them help check you connection and settings and the modem for problems or changes, you can do to improve things. Sometimes happens to me as well in the internet connection runs slower than normal and there is nothing that I can do but wait to accelerate - and it's frustrating.

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and you need you to do all you have time to do, but at least the network card, sound card and video card - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    I hope this helps.

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: update your drivers manually and do not use
    their scanner.

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Help with my video card installation

    For about 5 months, my uncle crashed his computer desktop HP Pavilion a6330f, pre-installed with Windows Vista, then he gave it to me, and I formatted the HARD drive and Windows XP Professional SP3 is installed. I installed all the drivers needed to access the Internet and then I carried others away. Here is the problem.

    OK, so I got a new HD of VisionTek Radeon 3650 OC edition 1 GB GDDR2 video card. I went to VisionTek.com and got the same driver I needed, installed and restarted my computer, then I go into my BIOS and put my graphics card to PCI x 16, which is what the map is well connected and must also. Can I connect my monitor to the video card (Acer P206HL) and nothing comes, kaput. So I plug it into the built-in slot. I check my system info, it says that I always use the integrated card GeForce. But I don't see anything not connected it. Someone help please, I want to use my video card, because it's the only thing that keeps me playing Skyrim.

  • End of 2011 Macbook with Windows 10 - adjustable brightness with the video card main?

    I have recently installed Windows 10 on my MBP late 2011 (officially unsupported, I know). For the most part, everything works, but the screen brightness adjustment doesn't seem to work with the driver from main video card (ATI 6600 M) - change the cursor on the user interface or by button have an effect, it is always 100%.

    If I change the Microsoft Basic display card driver in the menu devices (as suggested here in the forums), the cursor works, but the max brightness is about 50%, and I suspect the slow onboard gpu is active.

    Is there a way to get working with the primary ATI active adjustable brightness?

    Meanwhile, I found the solution: simply install the AMD Cataclyst driver that is included in the package Bootcamp 6.0 - and brightness control works as expected!
