Update the motherboard and processor

Hi, I have a HP PC with a motherboard problem. (PC hangs and I can see several swollen capacitors) So since it must be replaced in any case I think I might as well upgrade the processor and the card mother together. The GPU and power supply are already upgraded.
How can I get a motherboard better which could be agreed in the case of HP?
And is there a way to know what the best MB/CPU combo is available which will always be compatible with my DDR2 RAM?

I'll appreciate any advice. Don't you think it's time for a new PC.  I will include the relevant specifications.

HP Pavilion Media Center m8430f desktop PC

Motherboard manufacturer: Asus IPIBL-LB

HP/Compaq name: Benicia-GL8E

Micro-ATX: 24,5 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.5 cm (9.6 inches)

Intel G33

CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz
Socket: 775
Bus speed: 1066 MHz

Thanks for the reply.

I installed my old GPU (Geforce 9800GTX) in this PC and things seem to work

a little better now. Maybe it was the new card BSODing my computer. Still I can see problems with the MB and do not know how much longer I have. So I still need to buy a new PC and could use some advise. I'm an older guy and my next PC will probably be my last so I'm worried about making a mistake.

I use my PC all day. Especially for playing video games and watching

movies and writing. I don't even have a TV. I use the computer for everything.
I tried to shop online for a PC for a while now. I used the

configurators to iBuyPower and CyberPower and I did research to build my own.
I have even a little in my cart to start HP right now. They all have their advantages

and disadvantages, but the main thing is that HP is the only one that I don't really trust.

I like this HP ENVY 700qe desktop PC. There the processor 'K '. He

is not a graphics card but compensates with 12 GB of RAM. I already have

a better graphics card that offers those HP is a good compromise to me.
I prefer Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows 8, so I'll change that right away. I have

already have a 7 license and can just pocket the 8 which is fine.
I would like to than the 256 GB SSD, but I think that their trade to the top is too expensive ($200) and

I can always do it later anyway.
I'm not too family with disk but cashing for $50, it's worth.
I don't know what a 15-in-1 multi slot card reader is but 6 USB ports must be better than 4, so I would choose this option.
I have better food they offer, but for $20, I'd get the 500W.

What do you think? What Miss me? And how do you like yours? You can get a better price if you shop somewhere other than HP Direct?

  • dv7t-2000: upgrade of the motherboard and processor for dv7t-2000

    I currently have a dv7t-2000 with [email protected] and ATI mobility Radeon HD 4530 discrete graphics with 512 MB dedicated memory.

    I want to upgrade the processor and the motherboard to improve its performance and its Windows experience index (lowest value is the graphics card with destop performance for windows aero).

    My question is

    (1) are the best processors listed in the manual dv7t as Intel Core 2 Duo T9800 2.93 GHz parts 507951-001 and other compatible.

    (2) can I replace the current Board system with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 discrete graphics with 1 GB dedicated memory?  What is the difference between parts # 516294-001 516293-001 against?  The two identical descriptions a.

    Is it useful to upgrade (i.e. it would improve windows performance index)?

    Is it easy to replace the motherboard?  All the specialty tools?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The dv7 series is a challenge even for experienced laptop technicians. There are several boards of sup and ribbon cables going in all directions. The T9800 will agree and will work on any one of the motherboards in the manual that you apparently (let me know if not) and will greatly increase the WEI on the processor. She is always equivalent to most of the i3 processors.  The HD 4650 is going to be a pretty big improvement on the HD 4530. But that's like saying I'd rather have a 1964 Chevrolet as a 1953 Chevrolet... nor is technologically current as for video cards go. Current demanding games will exceed the 4650's powers.

    I checked partsurfer for two motherboards that you list and I checked the manual. There is widespread confusion. PartSurfer lists the jury 294 as a "UMA" or integrated graphics subsystem, and lists the 293 Commission that the use of dual core AMD processors. Something is not good and frankly I would waive the exchange of motherboard, but if you really want to try let me know and I'll try to clear up the confusion.

    A T9800 is about $35.

  • Windows 7 genuine? New motherboard and processor

    Hello

    My motherboard and processor is dead, and you can buy them is out, so I had to buy a different motherboard and a different processor. Nothing has changed. Windows 7 activated without problem, it says "The Activation was successful" and that my Windows 7 is "authentic".

    What I've heard of before is now Windows 7 becoming not authentic after the installation of updates. Is this true? I have a legitimate copy of Windows bought on Amazon. I've already talked to Microsoft to see if I could turn on a new motherboard and CPU, and they said that the key was "good" and I could activate on the new Board of Directors and the CPU.

    So is this windows genuine? I have no call at all MS activation. And it will become inauthentic after installing updates?

    Thank you for your help. Happy new year!

    Alex

    Very well. I was advised by Tom Hardware forums and Windows 7 Forum that as long as the button is activated, it will be good to use, and it can be activated because unlike most recent motherboards, the motherboard has no SLIC, integrated into the BIOS feature.

    Thanks for your help.

    If your Vista came pre-installed, so it's an OEM license - and replace the motherboard except in conditions of warranty is not allowed. Notice of MS, the card mother IS the computer
    You will need to purchase a new FULL version commercial license and edition of Windows you want - from the motherboard is (probably) new, it must run Windows 7 with happiness.

    I bought a HP Pavilion Slimline PC (HP S3500z) with AMD Athlon Dual core, online from HP in the United States during the year 2008, which is preloaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. I did the recovery also disks at this time.

    In May 2009, I came to the India and the PC was fine. This year, in October 2010, the PC has suddenly stopped booting and after discussing the nature of the problem with the HP online support, it was concluded that the motherboard has gone wrong.

    I tried to locate to the motherboard, but it is not available and there are size constraints associated with the motherboard that can be mounted in the slimline PC... FINALLLY I could not well the same motherboard.

    Now, I have no option but replace the motherboard and the processor from Intel to make...
    But after the replacement of these two main components: the Vista downloaded on my PC will not recognize them and would require again activation...

    I have not yet changed components and require the guidance on how to make this change followed in reactivation...

    Thank you and best regards

    When you change the motherboard, you lose all rights to the OEM installed Vista OS.  It is called "tattoo" by HP and is a license agreement with Microsoft. Your only solution is to buy a version of the OS and sure, format the drive to lose all data. The only other alternative would have been to contact HP and ask questions on a refurbished motherboard, or a Board that is in the same group family who would accept the OEM license.

  • Update the motherboard on a Dell Dimension E520

    Hello

    I have a Dell Dimension E520 with an Intel Celeron 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, Windows Vista 32 - Bit for about a year now and the speed of the processor. But with 1 core is not enough. I opened the case and found that the CPU is soldered in to the motherboard and what it is not replaceable, so I replace the motherboard with one that comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHZ. My question is what can I replace the motherboard on it and what kind of specifications of the motherboard will work with Dell Dimension E520.

  • What are my options since I changed my motherboard and processor and now license is not valid?

    Friends, I had problems with my old build of three year with windows 7 pro 64 oem.  only now, I discovered the reason for windows refuses to activate on new construction, that I had to do because of these problems. I didn't have to have a new motherboard and processor would make unnecessary the my copy of windows. It was in my mind that there where windows 'lived' was in the hard drive. one of the reasons why I had to build another 'computer' should make a visual studio 8 microsoft c ++ problem I could not find any solution. now after an unexpected and costly reconstruction, I don't have the money to get a new license. so now, I guess that in 13 days I no longer have a computer at all. It's incredibly disappointing for me. are there any other options out there for me? Thank you for your time and your consideration.

  • Motherboard and processor upgrades

    Is there anyway I can find out what motherboard and processor will be compatible with my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-1FK and be an upgrade of the original equipment fitted. Toshiba has tried, but they don't want to know. I have the details of the specification for the processor and the motherboard and am looking for advice on where to find the technical information that will tell me what is happening with that without it breaking. Of the spec. sheet I have the motherboard was made by Toshiba and gives the chipset model and relevant details. The processor is an Intel Celeron 585 and once again have all the details of the spec... Have doubled from two to four memory and changed the hard drive for an SSD that has made a big difference in the speeding things up. If I can get just a better motherboard and processor so I'm home and dry. Can anyone help please?

    You should contact Toshiba for this information.  Laptops do not have motherboards standards or processors, so you can't just buy one and put in it, it must be specially designed for your laptop.

  • Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

    I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

    • BIOS: 2.05
    • ME: 2.1.5.73
    • BMC 1.7
    • IPMI 2.0

    Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

    As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

    HERE'S MY QUESTION:

    Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

    Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

    With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

    Hello

    How old is your machine? If you still have your warranty, so why not give your machine to a local service partner?

    So if you don t give something on your guarantee you can trade your coins. But to look for the pieces on google and you won´t get any help from toshiba (e.g. manual disassembly or something similar).

    I tried long before your request and I made my experience that if you want to open your machine your completely on your own.
