  Hello guys

  It s not possible to update the graphics card. You can't compare the desktop with a laptop PC. The graphics card on the laptop is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.

  On the upgrade memory: you can upgrade the memory maximum. 512 MB (2x256MB). There are 2 slots available and these modules of memory are supported:
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)

• Age of Empires II - "can't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

  Hello

  I have a problem of Age of Empires 2 running on my new computer. Keeps displaying the following error message: "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. "Someone at - it solutions to this? I have already visited many forums and trying different solutions; None of them helped.

  Tried solutions: change the compatibility and as an administrator, switching to 16-bit color, turn off my graphics card, execution of the extension "nostartup" of the game, looking for old patches from Microsoft (which most are now unavailable due to the game being so old). I KNOW that others have been able to get this game to work on the Windows 7 operating system, but with a few other quirks and I KNOW my video card and driver are more than capable of handling this game. Any suggestions?

  System Specs:

  System manufacturer/model number Dell/Studio 540
  Operating system windows 7 home premium 32 bit
  6 GB of memory
  Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4350
  Monitor (s) displays Reference Dell ST2410

  I had the above problem with AOEII:Age of the Kings. My brief spec is Windows 7 Ultimate edition (SP1) and a card nVidia 8600 GT. I did the following (make sure you reboot after each installation):

  Make sure that you are running the latest patch of AOEII:AOK (2. 0 a):

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=35

  Download and install the latest version of DirectX:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=5264

  Download and install the latest nVidia Driver suite. I left the autodetect my card software and reset all my default settings. I also installed the full software suite:

  http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

  Finally, right click on the shortcut of AOE and click Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select the following:

  -Run this program in compatibility mode - choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (!) NOT 3!)
  -Disable visual themes
  -Disable the Composition of the Bureau
  -Run this program as an administrator

  One of the above options maybe work on its own, but that's what I had to do to make it work and I tested it after each step.

  Good luck!

• 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.

  Good luck!

• Upgrading the video card and, potentially, processor HD 5870 Dell XPS 435 t/9000

  So basically I try to update my video card and possibly my processor a little later, to compete with the next gen game. My specs are AMD HD 5870, intel i7 920, 9 GB RAM, with a PSU 475W. I'm currently looking this R9 x 270. He apparently has the same connection to its use and power than my HD 5870 PIN. Will this work with my computer/motherboard? Can someone confirm this for me? Also looking at this 7950. I wouldn't mind switching to a core of 8 CPUS too if my supply of power/mobo will allow it. in any case, here are links to the 2 video cards in that I was watching. http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814150686 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026 much appreciated on any help with suggestions on a CPU/GFX card =)

  Should be good.  I would like to watch one of these four HERE.

• Windows blocked key after installing a new video card and hard drive.

  I got a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit edition since the early release, purchased through Newegg. Since then, I used it on my desktop, which I update regularly. I changed the hard drives, processors and cards video several times and reactivated without a problem, but this last Friday, I installed a new video card and the DSS, and when I went to activate windows told me that my key was blocked without any explanation. I can only assume that this is because I changed my hardware configuration. My copy of windows remained only on this computer over the years. Here are the results of MGADiag running on my system.

  If there is any question about the legitimacy of my copy, I have the DVD, booklet, cases, cardboard sleeve he shipped initially and purchase of invoices from Newegg on the spot.

• Would like a recommendation on a video card and Psu - Hp Pavilion a6827c

  I'm willing to spend about $ 150-200 on a video card and power supply (if I need it). I could get a few recommendations.  Would appreciate any advice!

  RJ, here is a link to the pages "Product card" for your computer:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=16113&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3942022

  Your power supply unit (PSU) is 300W.  A 400W 600W PSU in would you buy a much better card.

  Here are two links to the PSU that I recommend:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139008

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341001

  I actually had the GXS OCZ 600W.  The Corsair is also highly recommended in the forum.

  Now for a video card.  The location on your motherboard is PCIEX16.  You can use PCIEX6 2.0 as well.  It is backward compatible.  However, you will pay a little more and will not actually benefit from improvements.

  The brands I recommend are XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire, PNY and Diamond, in that order.  I actually have two XFX cards; GeForce 7900GTX 512 MB (do not use) and ATI 4870 XXX 1 GB.

  Here is a link to the Web of Newegg site:

  http://www.Newegg.com/store/subcategory.aspx?subcategory=48&name=desktop-graphics-video-cards

  To the left of the page, there is a list of manufacturers.  By clicking on "More" will extend from the list.  See the section 'Customer reviews' and 'Technical data' to find one that meets your needs.  Then, post the link to the card/s that you like and we'll help you choose a.  It is the best way to learn what you need to know.  Much better that we choose one for you and post the link.

• video card and the black screen problems.

  Hello world! My desk top compaq presario sr1411nx don't seem to support a video card, I've recently tried

  to install. I put the card in one of the three open slots connected to the motherboard, and it seems to fit very well.

  The operating system I have is a Microsoft Windows XP Edition family version 2002 service pack 3, Celeron (R) CPU 2.80 ghz, 248 MB of ram.

  The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1300PCI 256 MB. After I installed the card the following continues to happen.

  I turn the hard drive and follow on. The windows start menu back to the top.

  A message box appears telling me to close all programs. Restart the computer if the installation of the video card

  can be updated and completed.

  I then, restart the computer. After that I'm doing it just a black screen and white pointer popup. As I move the mouse

  There is no beep sounds. Browser menu and start the internet windows does not load upward.

  I then remove the video card and restart the computer and everything works fine.

  Question: What could be the cause, and I can fix it?

  Thank you

  Frogman

  Try to go into the cmos setup in the bios and see if there is any option to disable the onboard video as memory goes against zero or as allowing the pci. If not try to change the graphics card to the other pci slot

• 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

  Oh and in case you want some specs on my system here are a few

  Windows Vista Home premium service pack1

  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.

  Here is a document with the video to replace the power supply.

• Upgrade the video card and PSU

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavillion A6642p

  It contains all the Info material:

  http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01559154&lang=en&cc=u...

  I was wondering if I had to update my video card, the size of a power supply would I need?

  Examples are useful

  This is the map I was looking at

  http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9500gt_us.html

  Thank you very much!

  Generally, when you install a graphics card in PCI Express or AGP slot (for older computers), the integrated graphics card is disabled.  If you plan to run more than one monitor, most modern graphics cards allow you to run that at least other two of the same card.

  The map that you access should work fine, you install a more powerful power supply.

  Your question about food, you need not to change anything else, putting in a new power supply. just take care to note each connector on your computer that the power supply is plugged (hard drives, motherboard, fans, etc.) so that when you reinstall, you can power all devices again.  (It can be really frustrating to have something malfunction only to realize you forgot to plug in the power of a certain nutrient).

  One last thing, I would look for a diet that has one or two 6 pin power connectors "PCI Express" in case you want to buy a more powerful video card in the future.  They are quite common to modern power supplies and does not require the video card that you have linked to them, but I'll make sure you have if future needs for them arise.

  Kind regards

• Problem with the video card and satellite L650 - 1 M 6

  Good evening!
  I have the new Satellite L650 - 1 M 6 with no operating system. When I did a fresh install of Windows 7 32 bit, I had several device problems. Most of them that I managed solve my self (as wlan drivers) but now I need your professional help.
  At this moment, I had left this problem of devices (on the information system):

  Not available ACPI\TOS6205\4 & 4A257CF & 0 the drivers for this device are not installed.

  I think it might be the video card (must be ATI HD5470) but SysInfo says:

  Type available, compatible adapter (Standard display types)
  Description Standard VGA Graphics Adapter adapt

  Would appreciate any help on this.
  Thank you in advance.

• HP Envy 750-177C: update video card and power supply

  Hi I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a 2 GB video card that can fit in my camera, and if the power supply must also be of a certain type, thank you.

  @Docta1, welcome to the forum.

  Here is a video card that will definitely work with your computer.

  The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is stanard ATX.  I love Corsair products and recommend at least 600W.   A modular power supply is good for small boxes.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This allows for better air circulation.  The video in my link card requires a connector 6 extra pins.

  Please click on the button + Thumbs up if I helped you and click on accept as Solution If your problem is resolved.

• Update video card (and a few other things)

  A few questions about upgrades: first of all, can I upgrade the video card in my HP Pavilion P6000 series p6616f?  Current card is ATI Radeon HD 4200. If so, can you suggest the best replacement that can handle games? I have to upgrade the power supply too? I also think it came with 6 GB ddr3 ram. Can I put that as well... and what is the maximum it will take?

If so, can you suggest the best replacement that can handle games?  Yes, you can install a discrete PCI Express x 16 video card.  I love EVGA, Sapphire, XFX and PNY in that order.  It should be not newer than the HD 6000 series.  Latest maps (HD 7000 series) require a UEFI BIOS on the motherboard works properly.  It is difficult to know which card to recommend.  You will need to check the system requirements for the games you play to find out what is recommended.

  I have to upgrade the power supply too? I also think it came with 6 GB ddr3 ram. Can I put that as well... and what is the maximum it will take?  Recent mid-level video cards require a minimum of 400W to work properly.  I normally recommend at least 500W.  I love Corsair products that will give you more choices for video cards.  I believe that the existing PSU is ATX standard.  You can measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.

  Here are the Specifications of the product for the computer.
