Compaq Presario CQ5814 Desktop PC Windows 7 64-bit no display or video

Hi all, I have a Compaq CQ5814. The display and video has failed. I get no picture, start-up screen, or any signal to any monitor. I've troubleshot this by using different monitors,etc. but to no avail. It is the original integrated vga and dvi i'm using. The power light is solid blue. I understand I have two pci-e x1 slots, and one pci-e x4 slot, but the x4 is hard to find with a good price, and the x1 is also kinda pricey. I'm not sure if this is the motherboard entirely or if I can just add a video card. If I buy a video card, can I get away with using a x16 with an adapter? If so, I can save $$.

Hello trikeusa
Do you hear any sounds such as the Windows chime when turning on the computer? No display when the computer starts up doesn't necessarily mean it is a failed video chip, though it typically is. I also suggest if you are in Warranty to call HP rather than opening the computer and adding components. HP Product Warranty Check Tool
Using an x16 video card will have too large an interface to use in a x4 or x1 slot. PCI E is backwards compatible with the slot. So for example: just say you have a PCI E x1 video card. That card will be able to work in a PCI E x4 slot because it's interface is smaller. If you look at the motherboard image for your computer you can see that the PCI E x4 slot of the top fits a larger card. A card designed for the x4 slot would not fit in the x1 slot. Motherboard Specifications, (ArrowwoodD)
Lastly make sure that your power supply is big enough to power the new video card. Your computer has a 250W (watt) power supply which may not be able to power a PCI E video card. (integrated graphics use less energy and heat) If you search for a video card try locating a x1 if an x4 is not available or hard to find. Try some sites like Newegg or CompUSA.

How do I add a second video card to my Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop?

I want to install a second video card to my Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop so I can use two monitors. What card should I get?

Here are the specs for your Compaq Presario CQ5300F Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model supports one VGA output via nVidia GeForce 6150SE onboard integrated graphics. This model also has a PCIe x16 graphics card expansion slot which will accept a PCIe x16 graphics card. According to the specs, installing a discrete graphics card in the PCIe x16 slot will disable the onboard integrated graphics.
The graphics card you purchase must support both monitors you wish to use with your computer. Additionally, most retail graphics cards require a 300 watt or greater system power supply. Currently , your computer has a 250 watt power supply and it will need to be replaced. Please consider the Corsair CX430, CX500, or CX600 series of power supplies to meet the new graphics card power requirements.
Alternatively, if this is mostly for word docs, spreadsheets, day trading and light video, you may wish to consider a USB-to-video adapter such as the eVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or one of the many other adapters on the market.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

All Ports/Plugins Do not work. Compaq Presario SR5233WM Desktop PC

Hello,I am here today With a problem of Mine that I can't seem to fix on my own.I have the Compaq Presario SR5233WM Desktop PC And I have Not used it In about 10-12 months And I have finnaly turned it on to Try and use it for some stuff and I plugged it in the wall And It starts up normally no beeping sounds or nothing.So After I did that I plugged the Blue video cord into my PC and my monitor And Before this I rememberd My USB ports wouldnt work And I could not test them out again because my video did not seem to work,I had asked around and They said something about my Drivers Need Resseting? I kept on Getting different answers when I ask so I came here. So to sum everything Up. How do I reset my drivers Without Video And/or What is the problem and how to fix it with the ports not working..Thanks for your time.

Hello again ZhayneW,
Thank you for the updated information on your issue. I would like you to try the steps I am providing you below in order until your graphics return:
Step 1. As you have tried different monitors I would like you to try different cables. The cables that go from your monitor to your computer could be the issue as well. According to the Compaq Presario SR5233WM Desktop PC Product Specifications page your computer has the IPILP-LC (Lancaster8) IPILP-LC (Lancaster8) and has following I/O ports with number 2 being a VGA connection and number 7 being the USB ports you state do not work. If you are using a VGA cord to connect your monitor to the computer that is the cord I would like to see replaced or swapped out with if possible. If you have already done this move on to the next step and ensure you let me know in your next post.
Step 2. Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord and open it up and place your had on the power supply for about 30 seconds to drain any electrical charge you may be holding. Now on the motherboard on the front (opposite the I/O connection indicated above) left hand side you will see the following jumpers:
These are the jumpers you need to use to clear the CMOS on your computer. Now on the off chance that your USB and Intergrated graphics have been disabled in the BIOS I am going to get you to clear the CMOS settings by moving the jumpers to look like the image below:
Leave the jumpers in this position for about 10 seconds and then return them to their original position. Reassemble the computer and do not plug it in until it is totally back together. If this was successful your computer should boot up and your display should be back.
Step 3. At this point the issue appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options. You could also go to a local computer repair and look to get it repaired as well.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Compaq Presario SR1330NX desktop. Black screen after restarting after recovery using disks

My Compaq presario SR1330NX desktop computer which has XP. Years ago I accidentally deleted the recovery partition. I ordered the recovery disks. I have done successful recoveries with them. Although it has been years. I did a recovery from disk. I dont think I did it correctly as it had been a while. Anyway, It never asked me for the 2nd disk, but it said the recovery was successful and to restart the computer. I thought that maybe it had made its own new recovery partition when using the disks before. So I restarted the computer and all I get is a black screen with compaq on it and some weird symbols in the left upper corner that look like
>triangle,Divide sign,Square,upside down t with a line under it,zero and a weird looking capital B".
And it does NOTHING. I put disks in it does nothing. This is the only screen that comes up and nothing else works. What did I do? and How can I fix this?

Hello tinkyferret, The HP Recovery Restore disk set makes a new Recovery Partition when they are used to recover the system.
You might try the HP Recovery Restore procedure from the hard drive, if you have not, and see if it wil complete successfully.
Normally on a Compaq system, you press the F-10 key to enter the Recovery Restore utility.

Require Help Obtaining Audio Driver for Compaq Presario SR1429UK desktop

Hi,
Really hoping someone can assist me obtaining the Realtek High Definition Audio driver for the Compaq Presario SR1429UK desktop.
I've obtained a second hand SR1429UK and it has been rebuilt but I have been unable to install the audio driver. I've tried downloading it from the compaq site but the sp26552.exe update driver which is available does not work and reports errors on installation. From the Compaq site, the only available driver is the update driver and there is no available download of the 'original' driver which is sometimes available for other models.
I've tried using the other SR1429 drivers (ES, FR, IT, NX etc) but they don't seem to be compatible.
I also don't have to the recovery disk or compaq application recovery installed as it's a clean WinXP Pro build.
ANy ideas where else I can obtain this driver?
Cheers, Jeremy

Hi,
It seems you are trying to download the driver update of the audio drivers. Please try downloading the original drivers from the following weblink:
