want to update cpu + gpu

I have a m7690e 2 years old Pavilion and my gaming begins to lag, depending on the game. For example, I can play ep.1 Half Life 2 and 2 on high but other games like CRYSIS or unplayable FEAR.

I was wondering if the new AMD Phenom processor (AM +) would work the card mother AM2 is in the original machine, or even an older Athlon 6000 + besides.

My dream machine would be...

ATI Radeon HD 4850 (single slot)... I have only one slot.

AMD Phenom II X 4 920

but I'd settle for this...

GeForce 9800 GT (single slot)

AMD Athlon 6000 + (or maybe the 6400 +)

If I can't upgrade the processor, will be my original AMD Athlon 5000 + run one of these graphics cards? or would it be a loss of power?

Thank you

  • [W510] crashes during use heavy CPU/GPU | possible overheating

    Hello

    I have a problem with W150 6 - week old I am just unable to provide. I tried a fairly recent game to test the hardware capabilities of my new camera. However, when running this game, it crashes at irregular intervals.

    MACHINE:

    ThinkPad W510, 4389-W1B Type

    Intel i7 Q70

    nVidia Quadro FX 880 M

    4 GB OF RAM

    Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    SETTING:

    The game in question is 'Mass Effect' (2008) with graphics almost maxed out settings (720 p and maximum of details). The machine has all the latest drivers and BIOS installed.

    BEHAVIOR:

    The machine is appearently under a heavy load of CPU/GPU with the fan at the highest speed. The causes of the accident the screen go blank and feeding the machine in less than a second after a short hard disk activity. The time until the machine hangs when running the game differs between 3 to 30 minutes.

    COMMENTS:

    I installed the tools, namely TPFanControl and SpeedFan temperature monitoring. The CPU does not get like 80 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the GPU also doesn't exceed 80 degrees Celsius. The accident occurs only with this game of 3D acceleration. However, it is the most demanding game I posses. The question seems to be temperature related since it usually takes much more time to plant the device switching on after a long time being turned off, or in a cooler environment.

    SO FAR THE TESTS:

    I have run several tests of stress on the machine, namely of Prime95 (max CPU temperature: 86), FurMark (CPU: 85, GPU: 80 c) and 3DMark. All passed without accidents (when running for about 1,5 hour maximum). I got the latest nVidia drivers installed, as well as the latest graphics drivers approved by Lenovo. I tried other games with resolution 1080 p and maxed out settings, but the accident only with "Mass Effect".

    CONCLUSION DATE:

    Like many, I can tell, when you run the game, CPU or GPU become warmer than during the stress tests. Nevertheless, the problem "seems" related to temperature. The fact that I don't have to plant with any other game machine or a stress test makes me assume that Mass Effect is just wrong with Windows 7 or the material. However, to my knowledge, bad code or bad drivers do not cause such a crude system shutdown.

    Well, I really don't know what o think about it. I don't want to make use of Lenovo support, unless it is really an anomaly in the system. I would need to get along without my laptop for 2 weeks, which is a long time in view of the fact that it is my primary work machine.

    So my questions to the community are:

    1. is it possible that this is a temperature related problem after all? Despite the positive stress test?

    2 is it possible that these accidents are caused by bad drivers or bad programs?

    Tips are greatly appreciated...

    I don't think it's an overheating problem, it is more likely a software/driver problem or a hardware problem. I am inclined to think that it is the last.

    The system should go in a judgment of thermal overload until less than 95 degrees. 80 degrees is on the beach of normal operation for the GPU and the CPU temperature when loading at 100% load.

    Try to disable the Turbo mode, also have you tried to perform a test on the ram?

    In addition, update a bios may be a good idea if you don't have it already done.

  • Bootcamp AMD update / update of GPU said always up to date.

    If this is not a new installation and I don't have an apple update in a long time. I mean... For a long time, so today when I saw the soft software update Apple pops up saying that I had an update, I'm super excited. I installed the update first graph (after you have uninstalled my previous gpu driver). It is installed, and then he said that it was an update of bootcamp ('supports 5 k on windows, addresses the problem of blocking' etc.). I installed as well. Now she she wants to reinstall the GPU drivers. I moved and you did... Now, he wants me to install the bootcamp update. I did it once again. Now, he wants me to redo the GPU DRIVERS. Alright... and now we are back to it asks me to install the bootcamp update. What is going on?

    In addition, these drivers seem to be kind of old. The driver date says 09/02/2016. In Radeon settings, he calls the 15.11. These are former pilots.

    I use an iMac k 5 from 2014. GPU is AMD 295. Windows 10.

    Save me LonerT!

    Having this same problem too, same system configuration (2014 5 k iMac, 295 AMD, Windows 10), only I didn't first uninstall the previous driver GPU. 09/02/2016 are the new drivers of Boot Camp from Apple standards. I think that the previous engines have been since October 2015.

    The update installed an AMD Radeon settings in the status system in addition to the AMD Catalyst Control Center bar. Everything seems to work fine graphics-wise... the only problem is with the infinite loop put up-to-date problem with Apple Software Update.

    the thing I wonder is if I can improve my A4 3320 M (other wise known as am3320ddx23gx) ether a better AMD or an intel better... Since my CPU/GPU 'killed' itself I wanted to know if instead of simply replacing the part (for $11... pft) I could get something better... but I don't know if a better AMD would work or if a intel (i3/i5/i7) would work... Since both are listed in the list parts in the online menaul

  • Want to update my X 51 (current i5 2320, gt545, 240w psu)

    Hey all,.

    I got my x 51 about one year and a half now and loved it.  It's not a high platform of range, but it does the job of def.  In any case, the time has come where I would like to get more out of it, without replacing them entirely.  I'd like to buy a new system, but the upgrade to my only current prevents my gf to realize I spent more on my computer

    Here are my questions:

    1. I understand the food sucks and it's a PSU 'external', which I do not know as well as the traditional internal.  This is as simple as buying 330W adapter, plug in and hop!  or are there internal modifications, that I will need to do that as well?

    2. assuming I can go to the PSU 330, I may upgrade my CPU, GPU and maybe throw in a SSD, all keeping the HD because there are a ton of storage.

    Looking at random, I found these options, but I don't know how they are...

    Motherboard - all 51 x have the same motherboard? (just curious about myself)

    CPU - I found son saying that I could possibly be upgraded to an i7-3770?  I also heard that with the x 51 you can not overlock is not worth to get the k 3770, is this true?

    I heard maybe from GPU - power this up to a GTX660 or a GTX670?  Wish I had a card dedicated 2 gig of memory ddr5 1.5 or even if possible.

    RAM - I think that I now have 8 GB, 16 GB would make a big difference for games like Battlefield, SC2...

    3. If 330w POWER supply isn't really an option, that I hope is not the case... What are the best improvements with 240 POS PSU stock

    Thanks for reading and suggestions!

    Hi Mikeb619,

    To upgrade from any desktop, you will need to upgrade things like food, RAM, processor and the graphics card. So, with your Alienware X 51 desktop computer, you can make the following changes. Dell has tested this system with the configuration below without changing the motherboard:

    1. Processor: Intel Core I7-3770 Quad Core 3.4 Ghz, 8 MB Cache
    2. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660, 1.5 GB as the graphics card which is composed of DVI, Display port and HDMI port to connect the monitor / TV.
    3. Required adapter will be 330W with the above configuration. No internal changes needed. Just buy a Dell and plug. Fact.
    4. RAM supports up to a maximum of 8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 1333 MHz (4gbx2) which is more than enough for all the games from today
    5. This computer has 3 SATA 2.0 ports, but however the chassis can accommodate only 2 both SATA drives. So, if you want to connect a SSD drive, then you may need to unplug the DVD player and take it out if you have. You can also buy a DVD USB external drive for DVD burning/reading purposes, if you really want to connect the SSD.

    We at Dell use only one type of motherboard Alienware X 51. Its a card mother form factor Mini-ATX. I recommend to replace the motherboard, but simply to upgrade the components mentioned above.

    Hope this helps and your girlfriend doesn't get to know about this... !

    Yesterday my Airport Express wanted to updated, I did. (from 7.4.6 to 7.6.7).

    After that, he started to behave erratically with big drops in speed. Anyone have similar experiences? How can I fix this without having to buy a new one.

    Stop your Mac. Turn off your Airport Express and stop the modem from your ISP. Wait 10 minutes, then turn on the modem to ISP, and then the Airport Express base station. Power on your Mac. Re-evaluate your performance problems.

    Run thisor that in this preference order to assess your latency time, download and bandwidth. You may need to modify the server or the other.

    I have upgrade 7.6.7 on my 4th gen Airport Extreme and observed no performance degradation to before the update.

    Sometimes the ISP gets their DNS in a tangle and makes the network almost Catatonic until they have to fix things. Nothing to do in this case at the user level. Did you call your ISP and asked them to check their equipment on your premises?
