Wanted to update my PSU to run a video card

I am wanting to replace the Standard 250w power supply in my model a6683w for a 300 or 350w and I was wondering if it was possible

Adensnap, welcome to the forum.

Yes, you can upgrade the PSU.  I suggest to measure the current PSU and comparing measures to those that you choose.  Normally, I would recommend upgrading to at least 400W.  This gives you a reserve for further improvements.

I love OCZ and Corsair.  The PSU is the backbone of the system, this is not the place to cut costs.

  • more recent good video driver updates for M4600 with ATI M5950 video card

    My hard drive has failed recently and I had to reinstall from scratch. I used it for a few months now without other problems.

    Currently, I am having a problem where a program (formZ) modeling in 3d displays wired but no polys in its modes of rendering opengl. I had this problem in July 2014 and it is resolved by updating my drivers which was available on the website of dell at this time. I have also some odd polys displaced and shadow flicker in sketchup which I didn't have before.

    According to me, it's my drivers, but the most recent driver available for the m5950 on the m4600 has 'changed' in October 2013 and when I install it, the problem is not resolved.

    Someone at - it a newer driver that 8.850.7.8000 (as of 12/19/2011)?

    Well yes that suits him.

    Although not quite, the link that you sent me was for certifications of driver for specific programs and some video cards, not including mine. However, I could find what I needed on the site of AMD:

  • Want to improve my diet for a new video card; have any questions.

    Wishes of the members of the Forum;

    I have a PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 190t CTO Office purchased in March 2010.  Very good product, but food is not fit to what I run.

    I have purchase a Corsair 650TX so I can run an EVGA GTX 680.  This requires a minimum of 550W and dedicated a 35Amp 12V line.  All this has the Corsair.

    I started with the information on the site of HP support on how to install a new power supply.  Followed the instructions.  Replaced my PSU 460W.  Tried to turn on my computer.  Power through the system, but it seems the cord for the APX CPU is slightly different or does not work.  Can not tell what is happening. The device seems to be functional, but it is possible that the CPU 12V cord is bad.  I'm not sure.  If this is compatible with my computer, I'm missing something.  I've updated the BIOS, also upgraded to professional Windows.  It feels like it could work almost, that somehow I'm missing just something.

    Clues.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try to clear the CMOS memory.  He worked for a person at the time when changing the PSU.

    If the above does not work then check your connections and watch to see if the fans are running and you don't not knocking something loose.  The FAQ above have a test procedure for power supply, you might want to try.

    Finally, try the old power supply.  If it works then you probably have a bad power supply.  It is rare, but it happens to all manufacturers of power supply.

  • Update of PSU and video card

    Hello, I wanted to update my power supply and the video card. I would get the PSU is the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&Tpk=17-151-096) but I didn't know if my computer could manage and keep the power supply. The video card, I would get is the EVGA 01 G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604) but I'm not sure that my computer can handle that too. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO desktop PC (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4066665) can someone please tell me if I can move on to the power supply card and video?

    Good choices.

    Your computer will be able to 'manage' the two, and the power supply does not seem like it would be that what should be in your computer right now. Looking at your motherboard it looks like not there is no interference with other ports, so that should be good.

    Now I don't have internal to your computer, but since gunfire although it might come with a GTX 260 which would be of a similar size to a 560Ti I would say you should be fine as long as you know what you're doing.

  • I have an IBM thinkpad with an ati mobility radeon series display and when I try to play a game says I need to update my video card...

    I am totally lost and spent two hours trying to figure this out. I just bought the sims 3 and when I try to play said: device 0 cannot run this title. Your video card does not support at least Shader Model 2. Please update your card.
    I tried to update my drivers but to no avail. I have no idea what to do here, can anyone help please? I just want to play this game!

    Your video card is basic it is perfect for office 2D work which is what this laptop was designed for. It is not suitable for playing games and video chip does not respect the Sims 3 system requirements. There is nothing you can do about it. This isn't a limitation of software (drivers), but a physical limitation (this video card cannot play this game). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Aspire the XC-605 video card update

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Aspire XC-605 and I need help, so I hope you guys can help out me. It comes with an integrated only video card. I wanted to update the graphs so I bought a card Asus HD 6450 Silent PCIe. I installed the card and booted the computer and nothing appears on the screen any card (Asus or integrated) I plug the HDMI cable.

    Do not know how to proceed at this point. I went into the BIOS to see if I could disable the onboard graphics, but there is no other choice. I think that maybe it's a power issue? I don't know anything about power supplies, but certainly one that comes with the system is not standard size.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi pchandra

    The video card you have is a low power card - it needs about 75 watts and draws its power from the PCIe slot, so your XC-605 feeding should be enough.

    There may be a problem with the graphics card. I suggest to try the card in another PC to rule out a problem with it. If it does not work in the second PC, the card will be replaced.

    If there is no setting in the BIOS, it adjusts automatically, usually the output, so if you insert a card, it will default to it. Similarly, if you delete it, it should default to the integrated graphics card.

    Try the card in another PC and let us know how you get on...

  • Update video card: 630i Desktop - need advice

    I have a Dell XPS 630i Desktop 5 1/2 year, which usually is going very well, with enough power for most of the cases.  Recently implemented a 125 GB SSD as drive operating system.

    Anyway, in these last days, we got some random video artifacts appears sporadically on one or two of my two monitors Viewsonic (DVI for both of the Nvidia 9800GT 512 MB video card).  A small section of the screen will have the weird characters, sometimes a bunch of screen Flash, etc.  And a few times that there was a BSOD crash, with the video driver (nvlddmkm.sys) be responsible.

    I tell myself that there must be a bad video card or driver.  I have updated to the pilot the most recent on the Dell site (R213185, 181.30, Vista 64, A04) and well.  But I have this vague feeling that it is a hardware problem.  If it was a driver problem, why now after all these years, he suddenly would be problems, no recent changes to the system, etc..

    I used the tools of diagnosis from Dell, which has tested the performance of the video card, memory, etc, and no errors were detected, which is encouraging.

    I post here, to seek advice, in which case the video card end up being the problem and need to be replaced.

    1. If I decide to replace it, what are some good recommendations for a new map of video for this system (Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz, 6 GB of RAM).  I don't want exaggerated and pay for potential performance of video card I would not be obtained with the old motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

    2. the current system is sufficient for most cases, with the main shortcoming being the slow performance when you are working on my of Canon DSLR Raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, watch a HD video from camcorders or other sources, etc.  In this regard, replace the video card would provide a substantial improvement in this type of performance?

    3. I'd rather than replace the entire office by something more recent?

    All thought, popular point of view.

    Don

    Video card drivers can become corrupt and simply uninstall them and their update with a new driver may solve the problem.  It is more likely a hardware problem, a driver problem, even if the 9800 GT is an old map.  If he wasn't pushed hard with the game over the years, then it can last a long time. XPS 630i is a good system and with the Q6600 it is still worthy and can perform very well.  If you were to replace the video card, I'd just get something simple like the GTX 650 HERE, which would exceed the performance of the 9800 GT and not market much.

  • Want to 700-019 H5P24AA #BL: what is the side power maxiumum supported for a video card in Envy 700

    I want to improve my HD 8570 delivered installed video card.

    What is the rated power more of a video card that would work with the installed 450W power supply.

    CPU is 4770 I7 motherboard: MS-7826 (Kaili)

    Thank you

    The 700 WANT referenced has a 460 watt POWER supply with a PCI-E 6-pin power supply.  In addition, this particular model PC has a version 8 for most graphics cards latest UEFI BIOS which are rated to work with a 460 Watt power supply would probably work.

    Of EVGA has a NVIDIA GTX 960 modelthat requires only a single PCI-E power connector 6-pin. Other models of the EVGA GTX 960 graphics cards require a PCI-E power connector, 8 pins.

  • Compaq Presario 2034NX. N power supply video card update

    I have a Compaq Presario 2034NX and want to get an upgrade of the installed video card (for a HDMI output, etc.).  I know that I have to spend my diet as well, for new power requirements.

    I am interested in (after-sales) part 3 parts, not "genuine HP/Compaq", to save costs on this box of 7 year and longer.

    (A) what version of PCI-Express is the slot on the MBoard?

    (B) what form of power factor should be purchased for?  ATX?  12V?

    (C) is there a special condition of type MOE for video work in Compaq Presario PCI-Express slot card, or will more 3rd party (after-sales) cards work?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Is the Compaq Presario PC?  If Yes, then put a standard size ATX power supply will work as well as several video cards PCI-E x 16.

    Most of NVIDIA video cards require a minimum of a 300 Watt power supply.  Most of ATI video cards require a power supply of + 400 watt mimium.

    1 HP didn't post the version of PCI-E slot, but I suspect 1.x. It should support most of the cards PCI-E 2.0 with a few exceptions.

    2. a stand size ATX power supply will fit (5.5x3.4x5.9).

    3. the video card chosen must be associated with a power supply to support its power requirements.

    How much budget do you see for the video card and the power suppy.  You have special requirements of video connection? (HDMI, DVI, VGA)  What applications are you planning to use with the new video card?

    Open your PC and a few measurement in parallel with the PCI-E x 16 slot to see how long of a video card will fit. The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant if a larger video card is being considered. Look at the motherboard, and ensures that the components on the motherboard will not interfere with the installation of the video card.

    Robert, here is a link to the "Product information" pages for your computer:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/prodinfoCategory?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3740326

    These pages will give you all the specifications of your computer.

    Yes, you can upgrade your video card.  First, you want to make sure that there is enough room for one of the new cards to fit.  You can find this information on the manufacturer's website.  I would say we could use until a 9800GT.  I think the cards are 9 "up to 10.5".  I like XFX, BFG or EVGA cards.  They are geared toward players and are of high quality.  My favorite is XFX.

    Now for your power supply power supply unit (PSU).  It can also be upgraded.  the key is to open the case and measure the existing unit.  To ensure that new fits, it should be very close to the same size.  Most ATX units are pretty close to the same size.  I recommend at least a 600W unit.  This is what I have in my game rig:

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

    Again, OCZ is a company that is geared to the players and fans.  They have very reliable products.  I have one in their PSU and memory.

    One last thought, a new video card will generate more heat.  Thus, some cables will be very useful.  Simply run all cables so that they do not restrict the airflow to all components.

    I hope this helps.
