The HP Pavilion a800n upgrade

Hello.

I bought my HP Pavilion a800n around 2004 and I wanted to upgrade. I've already updated the RAM without problem, but I think about adding an AGP video card. I don't know which one to buy since I've never installed a front video card. What I have to look for and what can I expect in the installation?

Also, I want to upgrade my monitor I bought with the computer. I think this one , but I don't know if the computer will be able to use screenr full resolution.

Hello HugoM_ The Gigabyte video card shows a DVI (white) connector only. Today, most monitors have this type of connector. Some of the new monitors have the DVI (white) connector and VGA (blue) connector.

The Gigabyte video card shows an adapter on the photo, which connects to the DVI (white) and the other end connects to the VGA (blue) cable that would connect to the monitor if it has the VGA (blue) connector. DVI offers better image quality than the older VGA connector. With this adapter, you'd be able to connect to any monitor you could buy, or who do not have the DVI connector to any older monitor.

  • Pavilion g6 - 2217cl: the HP Pavilion g6 - 2217cl RAM and CPU/GPU upgrade

    Hey there, I am looking to upgrade the RAM and CPU/GPU on my G6 Pavilion. Here's my current characteristics;

    Laptop model: HP Pavilion G6 - 2217cl

    Operating system: Windows 10 family (x 64)

    Current RAM: 6 GB (used 2 slots)

    CPU/GPU: AMD A8 - 4500 APU with Radeon HD graphics card

    What are the possibilities should I upgrade?

    If more information is needed, I'll be happy to provide.

    It supports up to 8 GB of memory and the processor can be upgraded to a 10 - 4600M. Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    There is no video card to upgrade, but for the models of series AMD A video is contained in the processor itself and an upgrade of the processor also carries with it an upgrade for HD 7640 G HD 7660 G video. It's light but a bit noticeable and clock speed go from 2.8 ghz to 3.2 ghz, which is not huge but noticeable. Memory is a DDR3-1600 module, and you can replace your 2 gig with a 4 gig to spend 6 to 8.

    Memory upgrade is as easy as... CPU/APU don't upgrade not so much.

  • Desktop HP pavilion a800n (win xp) has no option for the hibernation

    I just had an old (xp) Pavilion a800n engineering and migrated my operating system and the programs in my laptop computer on a disc hard nine, which I installed it in the Pavilion.  All is well (with some driver updates), but the only problem is that I have no option to Hibernate in power options.  Is this normal for this computer (only have closed hard and standby)?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think that this option ONLY for a computer that can run on battery, for most laptops. Amazing to see your experiences of "migrated my OS and programs over my new laptop on a hard drive" without breaking the EULA for the OS and still works.

    Specs Pc with windows 8

    Then, I heard on the internet that HP turned off on option in the motherboard turns off advanced graphics settings so I was wondering if this would affect my can so same to upgrade? I saw a forum where this guy can't get his 7850 to work in place for former 7450 (Forum link).

    In conclusion, all I really want to know is if I could change the graphics card?

    I know that in order to do this I need to change the power supply as well, but I'm just worried if I also have to change the motherboard also...

    Hello

    You shouldn't have to change the motherboard when you upgrade the video card.  However, you may also have to upgrade the power supply.  You have a PC of Windows 8 if the article below will explain what you need to do.

  • RAM upgrade problem: Flash the BIOS? or upgrade the processor?

    Hi, I jumped in with both feet and now need help to get out me!

    I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE-470uk who becomes a bit slow (processor card here http://ark.intel.com/products/48505/Intel-Core-i3-550-Processor-4M-Cache-3_20-GHz). After you have added a bluray player that I noticed that it's getting a bit slow so thought I would add little RAM.

    I bought a few Hyper X8GB of HyperXbeast 1600hhz, slipped in and the PC did nothing but to turn on and off several times. I checked the two sticks and they both do it. I then (plow in front) checked what memory, the processor can handle and discovered "The Intel® Core™ i3 - 5xx / Intel® Core™ i3-21xx processors handle memory DDR3 1066/1333 MHz" by http://www.intel.com/support/processors/corei3/sb/CS-031175.htm

    After a discussion on another forum, that it has been suggested that I have updated the BIOS because it can allow the processor to manage memory 1600 mhz, but I don't know where to start on this or what version to selected download. I'd appreciate any help you can offer on this.

    The other way, that I can see is to update the processor itself. I thought of nothing too fancy just an i5 because it will allow me to run 3d blurays and should allow me to run some apps at the same time. After reading this http://m.wikihow.com/Upgrade-a-Processor it seems too complicated. Is it really just a matter of taking off the fan, declipsant the old processor, nine droping in and then put on some cooling stick stuff?

    Or should I just return the memory and get good memory?

    See you soon

    Atdot.

    Here are the specifications of original factory for your desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-470uk and its card mother MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E). Based on these specifications, this model can support up to 16 GB (4 GB x 4 DIMMs) as follows:

    Dual channel memory architecture
    Four DDR3 DIMM sockets (240 pin)
    PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
    PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered
    Supports up to 16 GB on 64 bit computers

    In addition, this model can support the following Intel processors;

    Maximum frequency of the processor of the heart < = 2.93GHz
    Intel Core i7 - 8xx (Lynnfield core)
    Intel Core i5 - 7xx (Lynnfield core)
    Intel Core i5 - 6xx (Clarkdale core)
    Intel Core i3 - 5xx (Clarkdale core)

    If you do not have to worry about the update of the BIOS, there is no updates available for your computer BIOS. Honestly, I return the incorrect memory and upgrade to a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. Then, if it solves all your problems, you could also upgrade the processor.

    As the computer is nearly 4 years old, you can consider a factory HP restore to return the computer to a facoty as State. In many cases, it returns original full speed of the computer. The reason why this helps, because the BONE is swollen and clogged over time.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Disable the Win 7 Ultimate Upgrade before installing on another computer?

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv5 the cam, e with Win 7 Home Premium. I'm walking the OS for Win 7 Ulitimate.

    Now, I'll sell the dv5 and want to install the Win 7 Ultimate Upgrade on another computer. I need to disable the Win 7 Ultimate license upgrade, or do I just restore the dv5 back to factory condition using the recovery disk.

    And then just install the Win 7 Ultimate Upgrade on another computer?

    You are the very welcome, Mike.

    If you obtained a retail product key, you should be able to install W7 Ultimate on any other PC.

    If you don't have a Microsoft account or a link where you can download W7 Ultimate once again, then you can get it here...

    2147483647 English Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 X 17 - 59465.iso of http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/Win/X17-59465.ISO

    Then use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB 4 GB or DVD drive.

    The tool also performs the bootable media.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Make sure that the size of the ISO file you get is that the download site indicated that it was.

    Sometimes the download says "complete", but it wasn't and you end up with a partial file, which will not work.

  • Slow 15-in-1 card reader on the desktop Pavilion p6623w

    I recently bought a given to nine Pavilion p6623w desktop computer.   So far, I'm happy with the machine, with one exception - the integrated SD card reader is really, really slow.  Windows 7 measured in Kbps not Mbps transfer speed. It takes nearly 10 minutes to copy a RAW image file only 10 megabytes of the map on my internal hard drive.  Needless to say it's unusably slow.  When I plug my camera into the USB port on the front Pavilion, it takes a few seconds to copy the same file.

    I run the manufacturer of Windows 7, 64-bit installation.  The machine is stock except for 8 GB of RAM and a Phenom II x 6 extra 1045T 95W processor upgrade.  Both the memory and the processor are in line with the official specifications of HP of the machine.  When I insert an SD card, Windows recognizes it immediately and I am able to view all files in Windows Explorer.  Everything seems fine until the actual copy.  It is also incredibly slow when imported in Adobe Lightroom 4.

    The map that I usually use is a SDHC PNY of Class 10 16 GB card.  However, I also tried a SanDisk 512 MB SD card and the results were the same.

    I spent a few hours looking for this forum and other suggestions, nothing worked.  I uninstalled the readers of card reader in Device Manager and let Windows reinstall them after a reboot.  Function update driver in Device Manager says that the generic drivers already installed are the most common.   On the strategies in the Device Manager tab, I changed it for optimal performance (allowing caching of writing), without success.

    I am at a loss and I hope not to have another cable or external drive cluttering up my desktop.  The built-in player was one of the things I really liked about this particular desktop computer design.  I would greatly appreciate suggestions for a possible solution.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Reformat the card and test it on another PC to make sure that it performs to your expectations.

    Unplug all devices and media cards USB of the PC except the keyboard and mouse which must be plugged into the ports back.  Now try again.

    Try clear the CMOS.

    If the above does not work, then you might try to swap the USB connectors on the mother board inside your PC and see if that makes a difference.  See the image below.

  • Help! Restoration of the system after Vista Upgrade.

    Hello

    My name is Jhin and I have a HP Pavilion a6535c PC, with Windows Vista Home Premium Edition(x64). I've recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate (x 64) because of the additional language support. I really did not think it would affect something, because I would still use the same operating system.

    The first day of upgrade, everything was fine; However, I started to have problems the next day.

    For example, my CD/DVD drive has stopped working. I couldn't even find it in my computer. and when I looked in the Device Manager it says that the driver is corrupted or missing. To fix this, I went to regedit and delete the filters of upper/lower case and the player appeared on my computer. The drive will now appear in my computer, but it does not work properly. He reads all the disks and it keeps saying "Insert disc" and ejects anything I put in.

    I found the upgrade comes into conflict with the existing drivers, I had, that's why I tried to run the HP system restore. To my surprise, the F11 does not work.

    I went into my computer and saw that I still have the "FACTORY_IMAGE (D". ")" It's the same as it used to be, before the upgrade to Vista, ~9.77GB of used space.

    Fortunately, I did HP recovery DVD before the upgrade to Vista, but with the CD/DVD drive not working do not, I don't know what I can do.

    How can I check the integrity of D:? Is it possible for me to see if the D: is corrupt? If so, is there a way to find and resurrect the missing partition?

    I appreciate your time.

    Thank you
    JHIN

    Because you can't do a recovery without a DVD/CD player I would say you contact the warranty support and ask for a new DVD player.

    You have a friend who wants to lend you the use of its external CD/DVD drive? This is another possible option.

    You're well enough between the hammer and the Anvil because the option to perform the recovery of the position of recovery at this stage is not possible.

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    HII!

    IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

    The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
    They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

    Also...
    What's the deal with BIOS? : S
    I don't understand!
    If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

    Thank you!

    The restore CD will of course work.
    The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

    > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
    > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

    Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

    Best regards
