How do I put a new graphics card in my hp p6310y?

Hello. I'd like to upgrade my computer's graphics card for a better gaming experience with games such as Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops. I am buying a EVGA Nvidia GeForce GT 430 Graphics Card with 1024MB DDR3 Memory and was wondering how to install it. Or if it was even compatible.
Thanks. (Sorry if it's the wrong section. I'm new here)

Hi Bzar,
The NVIDIA GTS 450 needs a 6 pin PCI-E power connector and a 400 watt power supply. The HP p6310y only has a 300 watt power supply.
A decent video card for a PC with a 300 watt power supply is the NVIDIA GT 240 512mb or 1GB with DDR5 memory. This card will not support DirectX 11 which is used in the newer games to provide improved detail.

Can I put a new graphics card and power supply in my computer.

Hey all, I have the P7-1459 comp and it is good, but i was hoping to maybe give it a gaming boost. But i havent been able to find out if it could handle what i want to do. The new Graphics card would require a 450W power supply and i dont know if this comp could handle it. Anyone know one way or another? Need some help.

Joshua, you are very welcome!
I am sorry that I misunderstood your question. I thought that you wanted to know if the computer would handle the card.
Yes, you can upgrade the power supply unit (PSU). I suggest measuring the existing PSU and comparing those measurements to the one that you choose. I like OCZ and Corsair. They will provide enthusiast quality with a reasonable price. A good video card requires clean, stable power. I recommend at least 500W; 550W to 600W would be even better. This would allow for some future upgrades. The computer only uses the amount of power needed to run the components.
I hope this helps.

I just purchased Mountain Lion on the app store, put in new credit card and agreed to terms then nothing happend. How do I know if I purchased this upgrade?

I just purchased Mountain Lion on the app store, put in new credit card and agreed to terms then nothing happend. How do I know if I purchased this upgrade?

Sometimes if you make a purchase for the first time, use a new billing method (ie credit card) or the App Store terms have changed, I've noticed that you need to press the "Buy" button twice for the purchase to actually go through (ie, you press Buy, you agree to the terms, and you have to press Buy again). You won't get double-charged.
You can check if the purchase is actually downloading by looking in the Purchased tab of the App Store - the Mountain Lion installer will be there if it worked. If not, try the Buy button again.

You bought the phone from this lady right and she did not turn off imessage. Try turning off imessage and restart the phone. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Wait a few minutes and turn imessage back on

How to install new graphics card

Hi everyone. I have an intel mac pro and i want to install my pci express ati xtx 1900 card into it. It fits in the slot nice and snug but requires the 6 pin power cable to run the card. I have no idea where this is inside the mac and need help getting my new graphics card to work. i know this card works on a mac so how to i do this. please, please someone help. thank you

If you click on the "manuals" from the small strip above, then click on Desktop -> Mac Pro ->
http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/macpro/
There is a pdf. You should also have a small booklet that came with the Pro, and I am surprised the card doesn't come from Apple with a guide and photos.

How to install new graphic card?

I would like to try to upgrade my graphic card (currently have a GeForce 7300) to run newer games on my pc, but have never opened the back of a computer before. I was hoping someone might be able to help. Is it as easy as just removing the old card and installing the new one?
I was thinking of replacing it with a Geforce 9500 or 9600. My computer has an AMD 6400 dual processor 2.80 ghz with 2 GBs of RAM so the new graphics card should fit, right?
Much thanks for any thoughts and advice.

Yep just remove and replace. Just make sure its the correct type (AGP, PCI-e, etc) thats already in there.
The instructions with the card are pretty simple.
1. unplug computer and remove all cords.
2. lay computer on table.
3. unscrew case screws and slide cover (side cover or whole cover depending on make) off.
4. lay computer on side so you can see the mother board.
5. touch metal chassis before touching any component.
6. unscrew screw that holds the part of the vid card at the back slots.
7. unplug any cable to the vid card.
8. theres a latch that needs to be unlocked before removing card. unlock it (usually slides to the front of the computer, dont force anything)
9. pull vid card straight out.
install new card in reversed order. Make sure you install the new cards software/drivers according to instructions.

Bios freezes on Hp IPISB-CH2 with new graphic card installed

I own HP Pavilion Elite HPE H8 1010cs. Motherboard is HP IPISB-CH2. I bought new graphic card GAINWARD Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 4GB together with 600W PSU Corsair CX600M. First I tried my new PSU with my old GPU nvidia 550Ti. It worked perfectly. But when I replaced old card with new GTX 970, bios freezes on the first power on window. Escape does not work. Should I return new graphic card, or is there still some hope in this?

Hello @Tomas83,
I understand that you are having issues getting your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1010cs Desktop PC towork with your Gainward GeForce® GTX 970 Phantom 4GB 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!

3000 j115 A11 stopped working after installing new graphics card

I thought i would be slick and install a new graphics card (asus GEForce 8500GT) after i put it in my 3000 j115 A11 everything stopped working. I can turn the tower on and it gives two beeps. Nothing displays on the monitor (it doesn't leave powersaving mode). It is also very quiet like it is not even trying to work. Did I just destroy my computer? Is there anything I can do?
PS. I did take the asus card back out, so I'm not that lucky
PSS. Got back to being able to boot but now I can't get back into bios to switch from PCI back to original built in card. If I try it just hangs after pressing enter to interupt normal setup

I find this thread very interesting. I am assuming this system (3000 j115 A11) is the same as one I mentioned in a post from June 12 (7387A11... Graphics upgradeable?).... and is still hanging out there. Perhaps if Lenovo, or anybody else for that matter, could/would provide SPECIFIC upgrade instructions we could all be enlightened. (In my case I do not own a Lenovo computer but I am hoping to help my sister-in-law with her Lenovo and don't look forward to a major meltdown if the systems are not capable of this, otherwise, simple upgrade.)
Niether of the 2 previous posters mentioned if they upgraded the PS in thier respective systems prior to the graphics card installation (although ala17 "recently" did.). One had issues and the other didn't. If that should be the first step toward the upgrade, it would be helpful to know beforehand.
Thanks and good luck. Post back if you get to the bottom of it.

thanks for your helps in advance.

Yup, wrong part of the forum.
Sven will move it next time he's here.
Pci2pci is a motherboard thing but could interfere with gfx detection.
I know you said you'd reinstalled all drivers but...
Did you get the latest drivers for your motherboard?
If that doesn't fix it I guess the next step would be a complete OS reinstall...

Installing new graphics card in hp p7-1155

I have a new EVGA GEFORCE GT730 2GB GDDR5 graphics card and am ready to install it in the above box.
Haggiscat suggested this board thru a previous post on this site. I have printed out the install directions from the hp help so I have the mechanics of how to install this thing. Those directions say to disable the on-board graphics card first, then go into the box and install the new card. My question is: Do I need to do anything else first such as downloading the driver first/delete the old driver first.etc? Also, I have a disc that came with the new card. Do I use that to get the drivers or go to the invidia website? I want this install to go as smoothly as possible so expert help would be appreciated.
I'm not sure how to direct you to the previous post but it's in this section. Take a look for some background.
Thanks

Hi,
I suggest that your carefully read the instructions published by EVGA. I have multiple EVGA graphics cards and none of the directions ever suggested to uninstall the old video drivers prior to installing the new graphics card. Use the drinver disk that comes with the graphics card after your boot up. The default Windows drivers will work and then you can install the EVGA supplied drivers. EVGA also has a web site that you can obtain later drivers that have been tested by EVGA for your graphics card.
The modern HP motherboards will automatically switch to the discrete graphics card if detected and if it is compatible with the BIOS and motherboard.
The NVIDIA 7xx series graphic cards have been problematic with HP motherboards using a version 7 BIOS. some may work and some may not work.
The reality is that there is no a guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

Help with installing new graphics card

Hi I have a 3 year old hpe575a (hp pavillion)
Intel i7 2600, 8gb ram
Orginally had a ati hd radeon 2gb (not sure what model)
in it
after 2 years the radeon finally melted ( always had overheating problems in the australian summer )
so I bought a nvidia gtx630m which had the same connections and power requirements and connections as the radeon
I csnt seem to get it working, despite the card powering up, and loading the splash screen it doesnt go any further, I can get to the network boot screen or the hp splash screen but no further, and I cant find any bios updates for my mptherboard (pegatron) so do I need a new motherboard? The computer works 100% fine without the new graphics card
Should I get a new motherboard. Or graphics card? which would be cheaper? or is there someway to get the current system to work with the new graphics card? thanks -zac

Hi,
The existing card is an "AMD Radeon HD6570 (2 GB)". I don't know how you can fit a Nvidia GTX630M to your machine because this card is for laptop:
     http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-630m/specifications
Probably you are talking about the following card:
    http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
The card should be able to use 300W PSU on your machine (no need new PSU). My suggestion:
(a) Update BIOS to the latest one, please check, should be "Version7.15 Rev. A" the motherboard is Cleveland
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-101150-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
(b) Install driver for new card
Hope this helps.

Based on the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2160eo Desktop Computer, this model has 1 PCI Express x16 (Gen2.0), 3 PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0) and, 1 PCI Express Mini Card x1slots. This model also has a 300 watt power supply which will limit your choice of retail graphics unless it is replaced with a more powerfull unit.

Problems with BIOS for new graphics card!!! HEEELP!!!!

Hello,I just recently received my new graphics card (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960), and I am having some troubles getting it to work with my computer (p7-1072sc). I go myself a new PSU (Crossair CX600M), istalled it properly, pluged all the components up and put in the new GPU. Every time I turn on the PC, it freezes at the blue HP loading screen and does not respond to any keys.After some google searching I found out that I most likley would have to update my BIOS, so I went to the HP homepage. Entered my modelnumber, downloaded the new BIOS update (My current version was 7.14 13.10.2011), the update said the version was 7.15 05.25.2013. I downloaded the exe file, closed all other programs and ran the file. I started out as normal, but as the main installationprocess started I got the message that hpprobar3 stoped working. The computer freezed for a short while and then I got the message that the new BIOS had bin successfully installed, so I restarted the comuter. After that I checked back on the systems information and the version had bin changed to 7.15, but the date was still 13.10.2011. I tried the same rpocess again and the same thing happened. I ried again to put in the new GPU, and it still froze on the blue HP loading screen. I also tried to find the directory for the BIOS file (sp55548.exe) (to make a flash installation), under c:/swsetup, but I only found one folder named sp68021. Can anyone help me with this?? I would really appreciate any advice sort of advice!!!
PS: I am pretty new to all this stuff, so please be patient and explain any technical informoation or terms.

As stated before, and as a refresher. I just got off the line with MSI and EVGA. What you have is a Legacy motherboard. It can not function with a UEFI BIOS graphic card. That said:MSI (Greg): The 750Ti NF has a switch for Legacy/UEFI. All others in the 700 series are UEFI. The 900 series, plus the R7, R9 ship with the new VBIOS, a hybrid that detects the correct BIOS (Legacy/UEFI). EVGA (Kayon): All 600 and 700 except the 750Ti are Legacy.

How do I put a new graphics card in my hp p6310y?
