• 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.

• New video card and memory for my laptop (1410-604)

  Hello

  I think of a new video card and an extra memory...
  What possibilities I have to upgrade my laptop (Satellite 1410-604).

  I checked my computer technical description:
  I think I can add an extra 256 MB SDRAM. But what video card?

  Koen

  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)

• 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.

• Driver files that run the parallel port and USB port

  In the system information utility where to look to find the parallel port and the port driver USB, name of file that manages these?

  Know the drivers specific, is only half the story.  Why you looking for these drivers?  You have problems with your parallel port or USB port?  This can be caused by problems with drivers or it could be a hardware problem (hard to diagnose a hardware problem without good parts to swap and test).  If you need to update the drivers, you must use device (not msinfo32) Manager - or maybe clicking on an executable file that loads the drivers automatically (depends on how it is sent by download).

  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 drivers (I assume that you want to the parallel port and USB ports), 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.  Or run the Setup program of driver provided by the vendor of the computer or the manufacturer of the device.  Be VERY careful get Vista compatible drivers for these devices are difficult to identify (they usually come with the numbers of model or something like that if they can have serial numbers) and using the wrong drivers could make the problem (whatever that is) worse.

  If you update the drivers succerssfully and the problem persists, then it is probably a hardware problem.  In this case, contact the manufacturer of your computer for technical support (hopeully it is still under warranty) or bring it to a professional computer repairman (NOT Geek Squad or one of those big store centers because they don't really know what they're doing and charge a lot for this level of expertise) to have the components tested and possibly replaced.

  I hlpe that aid.

• 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.

• 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

  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.

• Satellite P200 1EE problems with playback HD video and USB ports

  I bought the laptop Satellite P200-1EE dixons for and I'm happy with it in many ways, but the main reason I bought the 1EE P200 was because of its potential to play and edit the video high defintion.

  I can't seem to play or watch video clips high definition without them being clumsy and with a frequency of images at 3 frames per second, and not the 30 frames per second, he must turn.

  The clips I'm playing are some MOV files record on my camera at 1280 by 720 resolution at 30 frames per second and the two Quictkime player and Realplayer they simply are not quite smooth. Given that the laptop has a DVD player high definition and a high-end graphics card ATI HD 2600 ispecifically intentional for high defintion watch a DVD high defintion to 2040 by 1080 I do not understand why he should fight with playback relatively low resolution video files.

  I would edit 720 video high definition and the speed of the processor, the speed of the bus, ram and graphics card should be enough for this high defintion video simple editing, so if he can not even play video high defintion, what chance does he have to edit video high defintion?

  After only 2 days of working completely fine Vista Vista completely crushed and the computer refused to restart. I had to use the recovery disk and completely wipe the hard drive. not a good introduction to vista which, apart from that, it was very slippery. After you have installed Office 2003 it works completely fine on Vista Home premium

  Does anyone have suggestions or solutions?

  Hi Daniel

  To be honest you message confuses me.
  The recorded movies (.mov files) are not format true high definition as in movies on HD DVD or Blue ray!

  I think you need to convert these files first in a format mpeg mov or avi format and then you can try to play with ordinary players like WMP, Real player, etc.

  Here are some useful tools;

  Converts mov to mpeg
  http://www.radgametools.com/binkhcon.htm

  Convert mov to avi
  http://www.JakeLudington.com/ask_jake/20051003_convert_mov_to_avi.html

  With regard to the question of the USB.
  Try to remove the USB port on the Device Manager and restart the laptop. After restarting again the USB ports should be recognized again and the USB driver should be updated.
  In most cases, this enables the USB flash drive.

• Installed Windows & 32 Bit drivers and USB ports don't DO NOT WORK.

  I bugh a laptop HP Pavillion 14 TS who came to preinstall Windows 8.1 64-bit I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and 2 uSB ports where I plug in my mouse and other devices of SB to do more work.

  I did a back up of the established SW leader who has all the HP dvers for my laptop but will not install the network and video of divers. And when I try to install the drives, I get the error message saying that they are not compatible with this version of Windows.

  I loked on the HP site under my model of laptop that s as above, but HP don't do my notebook drivers for Windows 7 32. And I looked on both the Realteck site for network wireless Realteck and Ethernet Realteck drivers but none of them work or install on my OS. Intel video drivers do not work either. So I'm really stuck one I can not return to 8.1 Windows as if that 32-bit Windows 7 works on my laptop but most of my drivers is not compatible with the operating system and I don't want not to install 64-bit Windows, I like 32-bit.

  Drivers that do not work on Windows 7 32-bit are:

  Realteck RTL8188EE 802 - 11 b/gn witeless lan

  Die Ethernet Realteck and

  Intel High definition graphics driver

  That don't work at all under Windows 7 32 bit because they are the only 64-bit drivers.

  So can you please post me a link network bth and drvers of graphics from Intel that works with my laptop. I tried many different drivers Realteck and raphics for Windows 7, but none of them DOES not work on my system. And none of my USB ports are no longer works. So, how can I fix this?

  Hello:

  Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on this model.

  Just use all the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model, except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.

  Your model uses only the Intel HD graphics driver.

  The first pilot, you need to install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.

  Audio: Accept the agreement.  Download and install the driver first on the list.

• Replace the video card and audio lost

  I have a HP m7350n desktop under WinXP SP2

  The plug: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00585745

  I replaced the video card (original) with a Gigabyte GT 440

  The new vid card also demanded a new power supply, so I replaced the original power supply with a Cooler Master GX 450

  When I restarted the computer, I noticed that I had more sound. Not sure if it was important, but even after that I downloaded the latest drivers for the new video card, there is still no sound.

  In the status bar system (or what is called the lower right view), I have more small icons for audio that I used to see.

  If I run dxdiag and click on the "Sound" tab, everything is white with the error 'no sound card found.  If one must, you must install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer. »

  The audio jacks are NOT part of either the old or new video card, so I think that the new video card should not cause this.

  Could I have missed feed somewhere during the exchange of food? If I remember, I have provided to:

  -2 CD/DVD drives

  -The expansion slot empty

  -The hard drive

  -A long connection on the motherboard (it was like 12 x 2 pins)

  -A small connection square to motherboard (2 x 2-pin)

  Any suggestions on what I can is dead wrong, or what I need to check? I am a novice at this stuff, so it could very well be something stupid.

  Also, I suppose, it does not matter, but I also added memory 2x1GB sticks in the empty slots (who does not see the PC, but that's a separate post)

  Thanks for the pointers

  Hello:

  I see an HDMI port on the map output...

  Why what happened?  The answer is that your video card has HDMI that requires a separate HDMI audio chip on the video card. So yes, your videocard DID cause it happens because the PC has picked up map video, disabled the car video (if you have an onboard video) and also disabled the audio system integrated, take on it for audio HDMI on the video card.

  The solution is simple, but almost no one knows about it, so I wouldn't say it's something stupid...

  Go into your BIOS. Looking for an embedded audio setting. It will be either disabled or Auto. Change the setting on " Enabled".  Save the setting here where you made the change, and again when you exit the BIOS.

  When the PC restarts your integrated sound card needs to be restored, and you will also have the use of your audio HDMI when you plug an HDMI cable to your TV.
