Hi,
Be sure to apply the latest post BIOS update for your PC. Boot into Computer Setup by tapping the ESC key at power on then select F10. Go to the Secure topics and Security configuration and disable Secure Boot and enable legacy mode and save the changes. Reboot and apply the BIOS update.

Will a HP Pavillion 500-569 support a gtx 750ti or gtx 970 mini

Hello. Will this computer(HP Pavilion 500-569) support a geforce gtx 750ti or a geforce gtx 970 mini if they fit into the case? If so will I need to do anything additional(other then put a new power supply with reccommened wattage etc) before/after I install it? I have read about some issues with UEFI and other factors on other graphics cards on HP and other computers not supporting certain cards and I want to be 100% sure. Thank you so much

Hi,
The HP Pavilion 500-569 only has a 300 watt power supply. The NVIDIA 750ti should work if it's not a model that requires an auxiliary six (6) PCI-E power connector.
The NVIDIA GTX 970 will require that a bigger power supply be installed in your PC. The Corsair CX600 would be a very good choice for a power supply.
Open up your PC and do some measuring in parallel with the PCI-E x16 slot to see how long of a video card will fit. The slot adjacent to the PCI-E x16 slot needs to be vacant. Look carefully at the motherboard and makes sure that components on the motherboard don't interfere with the installation of the video card. Review this posted article.

HP pavilion 500 series, gtx 650 not working

I just got an hp pavilion 500 series computer and put in my 680 watt power supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5751TC9946&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-R... This is the power supply i have) from my old computer but my gtx 650 will not work, my monitor has a no input if i have it plugged into the graphic card but works if i have it in the integrated graphic slot. The computer will also beep 6 times in a row stop then repeat the beeps 5 times if i have the 6 pin connector plugged into the graphics card. The gtx 650 works just fine in my other computer with this same power supply.

Pavilion 500-017c Compatible Video Graphics Cards

Hello everybody,
I just registered to this forum and I only have one question:
I have an HP Pavilion 500-017c and I wanted to get a compatible graphics card that isn't much high-end (minimum $90, max $150) for my PC gaming purposes. Here are the specs of my current setup:
HP Pavilion 500-017c
AMD Radon HD 7560D Integrated Graphics Card
AMD Quad-core A8-5500 Accelerated Processor
8GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 SDRAM memory
Windows 8.1
For some reason, the integrated graphics card that I have slows down some of the games/software that I use. Not because of other running processes, but it just does. I would appreciate for the response. Thanks!

Hi,
HP BIOS defaults indicate that PCI-E slot security is disabled. The five beeps means your PC is having a pre-video failure. This is a very common occurrence when a video card is installed and Secure Boot enabled. See the below information that has been posted by HP.

If you want to improve your gaming performance then try one on the below referenced video cards. If NewEgg is out of stock then try Tiger Direct, Amazon or Google. You will not need to change out your power supply.

Pavilion 500-205t power supply

So I'm thinking about getting the Pavilion 500-205t, with the i5 4690 and 6 gigs of RAM (I don't really need any more than that for gaming anyway, which is what I'll be using it for). I plan on putting in a new graphics card, but the only problem is that the 300 watt power supply isn't going to cut it.
My question is this: What is the name of the power supply that the 500-205t uses (I can't seem to find it online...) and what would be a viable replacement for it? I would need at least a 400w PSU, and I believe the dimensions would need to be less than or equal to 6x5x3.5 inches.
This question was solved.

Hi,
You would be better off buying a Corsair CX500 or CX500 depending on your needs and the cost at time of purchase and the minimum power supply requirement stated by the graphics card manufacturer.

Hi,
Cables made by different manufacturers may deliver different results but the shorter cables say under 15" should produce the same quality signals. HDMI has different specifications for the different version levels.
I have yet to see any difference in picture quality between DVI-D and HDMI with a resolution of 1920 by 1080. If the color depth is greater than 24 bits using DVI then need to use DVI dual link to keep up with HDMI.

HP pavilion 500-164 graphics card

Hi,
These HP How-to articles should be helpful.
The NVIDIA 750 is a double wide card you you will need to insert a flat bladed screw driver in the adjacent back panel PCI slot and wiggle it back and forth until it comes free then use a pliers if necessary to finally remove the blank slot panel.

P6-2133W not recognizing EVGA GeForce GTX 750ti video card

Hello,
I currently have a stock HP P6-2133W desktop, and I wanted to update the graphics. I purchased an EVGA GeForce GTX 750ti video card ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487025 ), but I could never get video to display through the card.
I disabled the onboard video through Windows Device Manager,but I couldn't find any setting in BIOS to explicitly use PCIE instead of the integrated video, and EVGA's driver installation utility reports that it could not detect a compatible device. The fan on the card spins, so it seems to be properly installed, and I tried re-seating it into the PCIE slot several times over the course of my troubleshooting.
Through all of my digging around online, I found a few mentions of UEFI BIOS. Unfortunately, I'm at work, so my computer is not handy at the moment, but I do remember that my motherboard was AAHD3-HB, and I had v. 7.16 of its BIOS (AMI, I think?), and the HP utilities did not indicate that there were any sort of updates available.
I'm not very familiar with UEFI, so, I guess my main questions are: is my BIOS incompatible with this particular video card? If so, is there a way to install a UEFI BIOS on my motherboard that would support this card?
I liked the idea of the 750TI, because it seemed to offer pretty decent performance without requiring a new Power Supply, so if this card is simply incompatible with my computer, then do you know of a comparable card that would work for my computer?
I appreciate any and all help with this.

Hello @BCAstronaut,
I understand that you are having issues getting your HP Pavilion p6-2133w Desktop PC to recognise your new EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card. I believe the reason you are experiencing this issue is the the break in the downward compatibility on the PCIe slots was broken at around the Gen 2.1 mark and you are trying to put a Gen 3.0 card in a Gen 1.0 slot. This in essence makes your computer incompatible with the graphics card you have chosen to use. I am providing you an article on the overclock.net website titled The final answer to the controversial PCIe x16 version compatibility., where the author explains what I described and goes into how he made the determination. I would advise you review the article if you have any questions concerning the issue you are facing.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Trouble installing Asus GTX 750ti Graphics card on i7

Pavilion i7 [email protected] (2011)
Trying to upgrade from GeForce 545 graphics card to new ASUS Geforce GTX 750Ti.
Hi - After fitting the new card I get a blank screen after the initial blue setup screen. I have already read various detailed threads on exactly this but am not sure what to do.
I have few options from what I can figure out.
1. One thread tells me how to go into the setup menu and 'disable secure boot' - others tell me this won't work (??)
2. Another very detailed thread says I must update the BIOS to a version 8 . I just did an update via HP support but it is still version 7 - the automated system doesn't let me install a newer version - not even sure if i should or how to(??)
3. This is from another thread ;-
'HP usually stops producing BIOS updates after one year from the model's initial release date which for your PC is May 2012. You need a version 8 BIOS in other to get the EVGA 750 TI to work. If you search the forum you will find many posts where many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 models have failed to owrk in PCs running a legacy BIOS ( not version 8).
The below NVIDIA GTX 750 models should work as these models will work in PCs that have a legacy BIOS or a UEFI BIOS.
MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF'
This suggests I simply give up on the ASUS card and get one of the cards listed above.
I'm not sure what to do and would really appreciate some advise. I don't feel confident messing about too much with the machine and would like a simple solution even if it costs a bit more. If I knew 100% these other cards would work I'd just exchange the ASUS.
thanks

Hi,
Interesting quotes, probably some from me.
Here is another thought for you. "Not every graphics card will work in every PC" Even graphics cards that work in one particular PC may not in fact work in a similar model or the exact same model.
Look for a NVIDIA 660 or 670 and a power supply to match the recommendation by the graphics card manufacturer.
BTW - You will probably not see a version 8 BIOS for the Pavilion models with the i7-2600 processor.

How to Reset BIOS/Clear CMOS of an HP Pavilion 500-111ea

Hello,
I was trying to change my computers boot logo because i dont like the HP one, and now when i try to enter my bios i get beeping, can anyone tell me how to reset the BIOS/Clear CMOS, this will be much apreciated. The computer still works fine, i just cant enter the BIOS or the UEFI Firmware Settings thing. When pressing F10 at boot up the computer beeps 8 times
My computer is a HP Pavilion 500-111ea

<I posted this in the wrong selection a few moments ago, i hope this is the right place this time.>

Hi,
Please explain in detail what changes you made in an attempt to change the boot logo.
HP did not post a clear CMOS procedure for your model PC. Review the below image. Unplug your PC, hold down the power button for 1 minute. Now open up your PC and move the jumper blocks over to the left per the image for 30 seconds and then move the jumper blocks back. Plug the PC back in and give it go. If you still get the eight (8) beeps then you could try a ROM image recovery.
Eight (8) beeps in an invalid ROM image. Review this HP posted article for trying a BIOS recovery.
You might try this HP tools software. Download the software to a different PC and create the USB 2 bootable tools flash drive. If you can get the flash drive to boot up then look for a firmware management selection. There is not any documentation available on how to use this function so you are on your own. HP Support might be able to assist you with a BIOS recovery and/or you might be faced with sending in your PC to an authorized HP repair facility to have the BIOS reflashed.
