TC M51 sluggish after installed PCIe graphics card

Well I went through 10 the 39 pages of this forum and the suspect, I have an answer, but still want to check with anyone in the know.

I have a model of ThinkCentre M51 1843-wnv and put up-to-date with:

2 GB DDR RAM (total now 2.5 GB) by Kingston

WD Caviar Black 500 GB HARD drive with 32 MB of cache (SATA 7200 RPM)

Map of graph SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4550 PCIe with 512 MB of DDR3 RAM

and I use a logitech (with USB to PS/2 adapter) USB mouse and a USB microsoft ergonomic keyboard

I installed every update, one at a time to make sure things were ok.  Things were ok until I installed the GPU (last updated).  Now my system takes a long time to start and stop and the intermittent mouse jerks across the screen.  I wait a few seconds and he is well again.  It's as if there are not sufficient resources every now and then.  For a time that the office works very well and then a few minutes later he has a jerky behavior that erases then after a wait.  Start and stop are however still much longer than they were.  I have to go and make the coffee while it starts and stops.  But even this behavior is inconsistent.  Sometimes it starts and stops quickly, as it should.

I wonder if the GPU and HARD disk are pushing the limits of my diet (310 watts).  Side of the box GPU stipulates that the minimum requirement is a 300 Watt power supply.  Mine is 310 Watts so I thought I was good, but the desktop is perhaps, with the large disc of HARD fast intermittently requiring more power than is available.

Any thoughts?

Is an upgrade of the power source easy to do something?  This will solve the performance issue? I've updated GPU, RAM, hard drives, USB and card faxmodem cards.  An upgrade of the power source is easy?

Thank you!

Well, how does it work!

I uninstalled the sound integrated edge and also the SoundMax drivers and installed instead an his SB XFi Titanium PCIe card and voila!  not only do you have this problem, but I have now improved for my 5.1 system sound quality speakers.

Why the built-in sound system would cause my office become slow after installing a video card?  How install PCIe sound card and turning off the sound of the mobo solves the problem?

If anyone knows I really want to know how it works.  At the moment, it seems just as if by magic for me.

in any case, I'm very happy.  My 2nd hand desktop Lenovo is a speed demon!  Movhorn thanks for your help.  Very much appreciated.

  • No audio after installing new graphics card

    I recently installed a Geforce 8800 gt xfx graphics card. After you install the graphics card, I have more audio analogue. My computer does not detect the analog audio devices. Things I've tried: reinstalling the drivers chipset audio activation built into the bios bios reset CMOS reset reinstallation Editing registry. PC specs: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02628226 (Note: all specifications listed are correct except the video card and power supply) voltage is the 450w graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150280

    Yes, it is possible, that there is an overload.

    The solution is to get a sound card not cheap, I think.

    One that works with everything what add on slots (PCI/PCIe x 1) you have.

    Then get a Radeon HD6570 (didn't need additional power supply), or some other card Radeon HD if you wish.

  • No Signal after installing new graphics card

    Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

    We have a 2 years old HP p6540y.  It has an ATI video card integrated. When we recently turned on, we got a message "no signal" on the monitor and then he'd go to sleep.  We tried many things to fix... listed below, in order and are always the same message.  Please advise!

    (1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI.  So we unplugged and rebooted, no change.

    (2) checked monitor and DVI & VGA cables with another computer: they all work.

    (3) installed new graphics card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610.  Still got same message "no signal".

    (4) we plugged/unplugged all the other cards/cords / no matter what we could and cleaned.  Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long...

    (5) after you restart the computer after installation of the graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again.  We released once more, other cards/sheets and again once the monitor and the computer came to life.

    (6) we uninstalled the ATI integrated graphics card.  When we go to display, Advanced Options, he mentions our new NVIDIA as graphic/video card.

    (7) we turned computer off during the night and this morning when we have lit, we once agin got the message "no signal".  We have unplugged/plugged computer several times.  Also tried the trick with cards/plugs by pulling and we have nothing.  No Signal.  After doing this several times (about 10), he is finally working again.

    (8) we changed the sleep settings to: screen saver = never; Standby mode = never.

    (9) we restarted again to get once more no signal message.

    So... what should we do?

    Thank you very much!

    Triusa, welcome to the forum.

    I think that your problem is caused by the power supply unit (PSU).  Here's a guide to help you solve the problem:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph06788

    Also, the existing PSU is 250W.  The 610 GT requires a minimum of 300W.

  • Win7: Any difference after installing a graphics card?

    Hello

    I don't have a visual experience usimg a PC will open a graphics card.

    I will not watch TV or DVD or browse photos on my PC.

    I use in on browsing the web and MS Office applications.

    If I install a graphics card (low range) low profile such as the silence of 210 ENT ASUS or Gigabyte HD6450.

    May I know if IE9 fonts and photo and deskop applications would look sharper and clearer?

    My PC is an Intel Core 13-2120 with Intel HD graphics driver installed. I use a screen resolution of 1600 X 900 20 ".

    Thank you

    You have posted several times re your graphics card, so I just make a comment.

    The visual experience of the display/graphics often depends on the individual, what a person is satisfied to another may not be.

    I believe that you said that your display is much "sharper" when you used Windows XP on another PC with the same monitor

    Browsing the Web and the desktop are not graphics applications, I've seen some people complain the graphics Office 2010 from Office 2007

    HD6450 Gigabyte is not an expensive card so I guess that you have little to lose by trying it, the Asus is still cheaper and it is obviously silent

  • Drawing objects in Firefox and Thunderbird after installing the graphics card MSI R6850 of AMD

    After installing the new graphics card (MSI R6850 CYCLONE 1GD5 PE/OC), pilots the latest on Windows XP 32-bit, I frequently meet with Mozilla Firefox 8.0 and Mozilla Thunderbird 8.0 drawing artifacts. The problem presents itself as a horizontal black bands or model checker color scattered. It occurs especially when the child (like the Download Manager) passage of another application for Firefox or Thunderbird or when to switch to a window for Firefox. It affects the entire application or only some rectangular (region clearly who was redesigned due to change of application). Then repaint (such as switch between Firefox tabs) usually solves the problem. This is just visual, the behavior is not affected. The problem never happened to any other application so far. Any ideas? Any who have experienced the same problem? Thanks in advance.

    Hello Joey

    If right now you go back to Windows XP and the system is slow correct? You have the drivers installed since you went back to XP? If not then click here and select your system. This will bring up a list of available drivers for you. Also, I've included a link below to get the drivers for your new video card. My problem with the question is if your system has enough power to support the video card. Here are the specifications of your card. Check the configuration required for the map and you ensure that you have adequate food. Let me know if it helps. Thank you.

  • Stuck on the HP logo screen after installing new graphics card.

    metall909,

    If you use an EVGA 760, so your question is probably a vbios into the video card.

    HP PC delivered after November 2012 are pretty good at speed on the last level of UEFI version. This level begins to version 8.

    I met problems with EVGA 760 UEFI and ASUS claims it is a vbios video card problem and EVGA says this is a motherboard problem.  I would not recommend using this card until EVGA releases an update of the vbios.

    If you are in a situation of pointing finger between HP and EVGA.

    Hello

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start so watch the display as you start
    the computer. You may need to check with the system manufacturer (Motherboad support
    If a system custom Maker), their documentation online and drivers and ask for their
    Forums (if any).

  • ThinkCentre M51 SFF 8104 - PCI graphics card

    I'm hoping to add a second graphics card for my Ultra small, M51, which has only a 32-bit PCI (not PCIe) slot. While I am aware that much slower speed of the PCI in the PCIe (or even AGP) bus stop from playing any modern (say > 2005) games, I'm not really that interested in 3D performance. The main reason I want the additional card is so I can use an output for my projector (not HD) and maybe even plug a third monitor integrated card (Intel GMA 900) - if I'm not forced to disable this. Is this likely to work? Has anyone here successfully added a PCI graphics card to a ThinkCentre, or any other computer with an Intel 915GV (* blech *) motherboard chipset?

    I know that some people suggest you need a bigger power supply for some of the fastest PCI cards, but I'm not sure about this. For a card that will be classified as PCI, it must be within the electrical specifications for the PCI bus, which includes the voltage and current, no? If I'm wrong about this, I would be happy to settle for something more modest, as long as it provides DVI output, some 3D acceleration, but also MPEG decompression. Any input on this very appreciated!

    Another restriction could be the space required for the card, the case accepts a PCI full-height, half-length, but will be a little better maybe with a card low profile to leave a little more room for air circulation. I certainly don't think that a passively cooled card would work as there is virtually no room for air circulation. And even with an actively cooled card, I recognize that I might need to add a few extra air holes.

    Why go through all this trouble? Well, I love the little ThinkCentre Ultra compact. The case is very well built, it is very pretty in this industrial kind so that IBM had so well - and it's very nice and quiet too (despite the P4HT Prescott). Gigabit LAN, 6 USB, 3.5 "HDD bay (got a 1 TB drive is and the fact that I can use my laptop DVD burner into the UltraBay slot are all nice positives.) I'm not a fan of large desktop computers and can not afford a mini-ITX with PCIe system...

    For any help or suggestion very appreciated!

    Lomax

    P.S. PCI graphics cards I've been looking at are GeForce 8400 GS Sparkle and 9400 GT cards as well as Radeon X 1300 VisionTek and X 1550. And then there's the new ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO too!

    Update: I have now installed a graphics PowerColor HD 2400 Pro PCI in my system. I had to replace the passive radiator with a combination of radiator & fan (the card has holes of standard editing for it), because there was not enough room for it. Also, the case is so narrow that there is no way the airflow around the PCI slot would have been sufficient to adequately cool the GPU. Unfortunately I could not find the drivers for the use of this card under Windows 2000 (my OS preferred) so I'm stuck with XP - but the card works fine and I can get today with the built in Intel GMA chip, giving me three exits (2 x VGA, 1 x DVI) video. Perfect!

    HTH,

    Hello

    I do not know such an adapter exists, but it's a hardware problem - I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your laptop with this issue, as well as questions about additional upgrades, you could do.

    These are all the hardware problems, and this site deals with software issues related to the Windows operating system. I'm sorry this isn't the answer you're looking for, but...
