Try to update the graphics card in a HP Envy H8-1414

I bought a Sapphire HD 7950 and tried to install it. At boot it would have 6 beeps then the power led would just stay on. I have replace a 300w for a 550w power supply before putting the new card. Initially, the computer was a pre-built HP H8-1414 with power being the only thing that I changed.

Unfortunately, it seems that this article applies to you. The computer does not start after the installation of a video (Windows 8) card. For the system to recognize your new video card and start, you must disable secure boot in the BIOS and enable boot legacy. Follow the instructions in the article above to do so.

  • How do I change or update the graphics card on a HP ENVY 17 - j020us Quad Edition Notebook PC

    I want to know if I can add another video card or if I can swap the video card to intel-4400 HP provided with this computer. I tried to look on the sites of HP and may not know if the graphics card is integrated or if she is separated.

    Hello

    The 'Intel HD graphics 4400' is soldered to the motherboard (or integrated) and you can not change or Exchange. You have to live with it and save the money to buy another machine.

    Hello

    I installed a 300w power supply and a 9800gt low profile with PIN 6 connected.  My computer does not read or use it. If it is connected directly the rest monitor orange and shows no display. Is is possible to upgrade this slimline for games?

    Hi wb2001,

    Thank you for your useful tips

    I use is:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817338042 which has a connector 6 pin. I don't understand power outputs very well so I'm not sure about the requirements of 12V. I use a giant fan to cool my computer and it keeps the temperatures low.

    This power supply 400w would work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817338081. The idea to upgrade thinness comes from this forum with those who have had good results, but honestly I don't understand half of it :http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1224011

    I am on a budget and would sincerely like to experience some of the newest games out there, so I'm very grateful for your help!

  • Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games

    Hello

    I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.

    I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?

    I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
    But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
    Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.

    Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
    PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.

    It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

    Hello

    No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
    As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.

    For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.

    I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
    The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment.

  • Is it possible to update the graphics card in the Satellite A200-195

    Is it posible to upgrade this card for me to play the game of MSTS?

    Usually it of not possible to update the graphics cards installed in notebooks!
    Laptop technology is simply different!
    The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it in a simple way.

    I have always recommended to use the computer to play the game!
    If you need the computer for hardcore games you should buy a desktop computer.
    Why? Because the latest games need for most fastest graphics card and the desktop PC can be upgraded much easily as a laptop.

    But finally it of your choice what you use ;)

    Here are the specs of your computer CQ5210F. Based on these specifications, you can install a PCIe x 16 graphics. Also, unless your replacement card does not require more than one power supply 250 watt system, you will need to upgrade your diet as well.

  • Can I update the graphics card in my laptop?

    Hi people,


    I want to know if I can upgrade the graphics card to my laptop.

    Now, a day most of the high-end gaming is not

    working in my laptop and I'm very disappointed.

    Please let me know if I can do it. My laptop model

    HP  Pavilion DV5 1106AX.

    Hello:

    Unfortunately in most laptops today (including your own), the graphics may not be upgraded.

    I watched the service manual for your laptop, and there is no similarly to other motherboards with better graphics available.

    You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, but you can't do anything with the material.
