Monitor with HP Envy 700-056 going black UPDATE

After doing some extensive searching, it has become clear that if you are a gamer or do any high end graphics that a DVI to HDMI is not going to work well.  While working with graphic intensive programs, the screen resolution my change and it is important to have a dedicated graphics card, such as NVIDIA, that has the ability to do an HDMI to HDMI connection.
I did exactly this by using a new Laptop and using the HDMI to HDMI connector to the VIZIO.  This worked and the VIZIO never went black.  The laptop has both the Intel and NVIDIA  Graphics cards. 
So, after spending a good chunk of change for the new HP Desktop, I am now forced to either go with a new  desktop that has the HDMI port or buy a dedicated graphics card like NVIDIA.  Again, HP failed to make this  very clear and are obviously aware of the issue as others have posted blogs regarding this very same problem.
As to why a new HP desktop does not have the option of an HDMI on the tower is beyond me.     With more and more people opting out for Smart TV's  as their monitor it would make sense to have an HDMI  on the tower and not just the DVI to HDMI connection.
I would highly recommend that anyone that is a gamer or uses programs that are graphic intensive to make sure that you have a dedicated graphics card on your desktop.......the DVI to HDMI will not work...that has become painfully obvious.

Hi,
Try a DVI-D dual link to HDMI cable.  You will have to use a separate sound cable. Ultra high resolutions (4k) may be a problem in which case you might need a discrete graphics card.

  • HP Envy 700-056 needs s-video output

    Hi,
    Are you looking to capture input video or just output?
    S-Video graphics cards are pretty much out of manufacture.  Look for a NVIDIA GT 9500 if you want output.  MS Windows 8 does show compatibility with the NVIDIA GT 9500.  There are several GT 9500 models listed as compatible.

    Have you just tried repairing with Disk Utility?

    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Bitlocker with HP Envy 700

    I just got a new HP Envy 700-249. I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro immediately for Bitlocker and Remote Access. The PC will be stored in a relatively unsecure location and is for public use - but will have a few users who have access to install software, store private files, etc. SO I want to be sure that the OS stays safe as well as the data.
    I want a way to keep someone from accessing anything on C drive that isn't in the Public folders and make the drive unable to be viewed if booted from anything other than itself. So I figured BitLocker. I've gone into gpedit.msc and set option to allow bitlocker without TPM. BitLocker runs and allows me to turn on encryption. I've tried a couple of types of USB drives and BitLocker says it has saved the key to them. I've checked and they have a BitLocker recovery file on them.
    BUT - when the system reboots, it will not recognize the USB drive as the key and will not encrypt the drive. I am stumped.
    Has anyone gotten an HP non-TPM desktop to encrypt the OS and data drives with Win 8.1 Bitlocker? How?????

    Hi,
    Bit locker was meant to encrypt entire physical drives.  Review this MS article.
    I would suggest that you install a second hard drive and then move your sensitive files and documents to that physical hard drive and use bit locker to encrypt that hard drive.  If you are going to keep the key on an external device (USB flash drive) then make a backup copy in case the USB drive fails or is lost.

    Hi linacjsdad,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help.
    If you connect the monitor with a HDMI connection it will support the highest resolution.
    Your HD 7670M DDR# graphic card will support resolutions of 2560x1600 which is higher then the monitor, therefore you should not have an issue.  Specifications of the AMD Radeon HD 7670M DDR3 GPU

  • Hp envy m6 screen goes black but computer is still running

    My grandson has a HP Envy M6 laptop, every so often the screen on his laptop goes black but the computer is still running.  If he is watching a DVD on the TV via hdmi cable the movie still plays on the tv but the screen on the laptop is still black.  Sometimes it will come back up, other times he has to turn it off and restart.  Please, somebody give me an answer because my grandson is in college and if I can't get this fixed, he is expecting Grandma to buy him a new laptop.

    Well, I went back and reread your links and realized that the second one was to update the bios.  Since I know that my grandson might not even know what the bios is much less how to update it or know that it needs to be updated. So I updated the bios and although I hesitate to say that fixed the problem since it has only been a couple of house, I haven't had the screen cut out on me since I did the update.

  • HP ENVY 700-049 Won't Update to Windows 8.1 - 0xC1900101 - 0x20018

    I recently purchased an HP Envy 700-049 desktop and have updated to the latest Windows 8.  I have re-downloaded and installed all of the Windows 8 drivers listed on the support page.  I disabled the wireless LAN in Windows (no way to do so in the BIOS that I can tell).  After all of that I went to the Windows App Store and ran the 8.1 update.  The machine reboots and begins to configure the devices, but stops prior to completion with the error SYSTEM_THREAD EXCEPTION NOT_HANDLED.
    On reboot I am given
    0xC1900101 - 0x30018
    This is showing up in Google...and I tried common reccomendations (install updates, install latest driver, disable WLAN)... are there any additional suggestions or am I just going to have to hang tight on MS to fix this?
    My wrist is getting tired from bouncing over to the quickbar. :-)

    I am on 8.0, trying to update to 8.1.  I can't install the 8.1 drivers.  It is for all intents and purposes a new OS.  The 8.1 drivers clearly indicate to me that the OS is not at a compatible level "Your system does not meet the operating system requirements. Update has been cancelled. (9998)".
    I did note that the intel onboard driver was not good, don't know where that fell by the wayside, but I re-installed the HP Win8 driver and things were good.
    There are two graphics cards, onboard and radeon.  I updated the catalyst drivers too.
    All of the HP drivers were up to date, all of the Windows Updates are installed.
    I disconnected ALL devices except for the mouse and keyboard.
    The drivers are installed fine for 8.0.  But the way that the windows 8.1 update is delivered is through the Microsoft App Store.  It downloads, installs and reboots.  There is a second reboot where it starts updating the drivers.  I know that it's a problem at that particular point, but without being able to isolate the driver that it's having a problem with...it's a crapshoot.
    I researched a bit and looked at the winstore.log files, but nothing in there seems to indicate a specific driver...I think this is the log at the point where the update chokes...

    I may keep troubleshooting, I think I may just clean out the app store cache and give it a try again.  There was a comment that I read that seems to indicate disabling file sharing settings can resolve the issue.  I also saw a suggestion on downloading the preview and then updating from that.  This is a fairly new box (at least to me), and it's running fine otherwise...but I would like to get 8.1 running to get the integrated tools.  Worst case scenerio I could just download from DreamSpark and reinstall.

  • Fresh Install window goes black updating pac

    I am new to this, I installed the system configured my wired connection the wirless I still don know how. So I was trying to install gnome and following the directions the first thing is update pacman so I ran # pacman -Syu and in the middle of the download the screen just goes black.
    Has this happened to anyone?

    Are you sure that this isn't some sort of power saving mode?
    If I remember correctly, my monitor blacked out as well during first update because of inactivity.
    All you have to do is hit a key on your keyboard.

  • Mid-2012 MBP with 27" Cinema Display SCREEN GOES BLACK WHEN USING USB PERIPHERALS IN DOCK

    I haven't been able to find any straightforward answer as to why this is happening and it's becoming one of the most infuriating things in my life, impeding my workflow and costing me unmeasurable time in waiting, rebooting, screwing with cables, etc.
    I use my MBP as a DAW for multitracking live audio events to ProTools through a digital console where I work. Here's my gear list that I use every day:
    Mid-2012 MBP - Yosemite, 8GB, i7 quad 2.5, mechanical hd
    HengeDocks dock for my exact model machine - has set-screw jacks for CinemaDisplay power, Tbolt, FW800, USB, USB, SDcard, headphones, etc
    USB wired keyboard
    Anker 1x4 USB3.0 hub - I have a TimeMachine 1TB drive, 3TB project backup drive, audio interface and MIDI I/O or PT iLok, depending what I'm working on
    Magic Mouse (BlueTooth)
    Here's what's happening:
    SCENARIO 1 - I insert the CinemaDisplay (cD) power connector and TBolt plugs into the dock, tighten the set screws, close the lid of my MBP (already logged into Yosemite & linked with MagicMouse [mM]) and stick the MBP into the dock... everything comes up on the cD and I can go about my day. At this point, I can plug the USB hub into the back of the cD and the system sees the hub & all peripherals listed just fine.
    SCENARIO 2 - Install cD powercon, TBolt connector, USB3 hub, USB keyboard into the dock, close the lid on MBP (again, logged in), insert into dock... cD comes up, looks great for about 15 seconds then goes completely blank. No response from key presses, mouse clicks, threats with a hammer, etc. Then, of course, I have to yank the MBP out of the dock, which hard-disconnects the external drives (backup and TimeMachine... good for them, right?) and causes the MBP to flake, thinking it's still in the dock, then not, then logging me out & requiring a password (not a big deal- I deal with copyrighted stuff, so passwords aren't the issue).
    ***EVEN IF I DO NOT PLUG THE USB3 HUB INTO THE HENGE DOCK, THE cD STILL GOES BLANK AFTER 15 SEC... IT ONLY SEEMS TO LIKE THE TBOLT AND POWER... NO OTHER PERIPHERALS (fw800, USB, etc)***
    It seems like the MBP freaks out when the lid is closed and there are USB/FW peripherals plugged in while using a secondary TBolt display as the main output... seems stupid... if I need a closed-lid dock, the MBP shouldn't care what I have plugged in while the lid is closed. I had the same issues with Mountain Lion & Mavericks and now it's being repeated with Yosemite.
    My goal in this exercise is simply to free up the USB jacks on the back of the cD for two reasons - #1) from time to time, I have extra things to plug in and I don't want some massive USB 1x8 hub on my desk... looks stupid; #2) the bottleneck created by plugging in the hub to the back of the cD (another hub via TBolt) almost triples the time required to back up/copy files. I move files from system drive to backup drive & back VERY often due to the nature of my job... speeding up this process would greatly improve my efficiency in the matter. Why would Henge create a dock with all the jacks on it to allow someone to plug into a cD that won't frickin work with said cD? Every other dock I've found makes the user stick the MBP on a slanted, goofy-looking stand and have the lid open or something dumb like that... what I have is the setup I need... just need the USB stuff to work while lid is closed and everything from powercon & cD to USB3 hubs will work without making the cD freak out.
    Any ideas out there?

    Have now taken the 27" display into the repair shop and after 24 hrs got the phone call - "appears to be nothing wrong with it, will check again on Tuesday and let you know".
    I can't seem to find anything on the net describing a similar problem. Everything is working fine right now with the Mac Pro connected to the older 20 inch Cinema Display. In fact, everything seems to be working about a second faster.
    I was told by the local retailer that Apple no longer makes the 27 inch LED Cinema Display product and the new display, the "Thunderbolt" will not work with my 13 month old Mac Pro.
    ***??? In 20 years of owning Mac equipment, this is my first major "uh-oh".
