HP Pavilion p6510f Desktop intermittent failures - Antec 25 430 WATT Power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650

After installing a new power supply and video card (Antec 25 430 WATT Power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650), my system became unstable. It worked fine for the first 3-4 hours then had a BSOD (blue screen of death) with kernel_data_inpage_error 0000007A and later a critical process failure 000000F4. I've done all of the tests listed on this page as well as removed and replaced the cmos battery:
http://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal_error/KERNEL-DATA-INPAGE-ERROR-0x0000007A-*1137.html
All of the tests passed and no problems were found and yet the system still fails after 3-4 hours of use.
So, I removed everything from my system and restored it to it's original settings. It seems to be back to normal now (but, we'll see for how long).
This experience has demoralized me. This is due to the fact that I've heard of others having difficulties trying to upgrade their systems. Seems like there is about a 50% success rate unless you know what works from past experience. I feel that the only way to get a system that has good graphics now is a well tested gaming box (PS3, XBOX, or Wii). Is there any recommended or possibly well tested setups for this type of system that could give me the quality of a GEFORCE GTX 650 without causing blue screens or cause instability for my computer?
Since this computer comes with ATI and AMD parts, I presume maybe getting an ATI or AMD graphics card would work? Regardless of the graphics card, the 250W power that comes with this system would most likely need to be replaced. Are there are any power supplys that you recommend or possibly tested?
I realize there are a few questions in this post, but I have one more. Are there any motherboard analysis tools to enusre nothing has gone wrong with the mother board? When the blue screens were occurring it seemed to make strange noises from the hard drive as it it were thrashing and after rebooting it would sometimes fail to recognize the existance of the hard drive as well. Since all of the hard drive tests were successful (I also ran SeaTools), this leads me to believe that the power is inssuficient, but I'm now fearful that if I upgrade the power it will only cause more problems.

So, using the standard setup still makes strange noises at various intervals, but not as frequently. I have a bad feeling that it has caused disk drive problems based on the fact that:
1) Strange noises are now occuring during particular load times (although rarely)
2) Computer crashes (although, it no longer crashes now that I'm back in it's regular setup)
3) Occassionall it has really slow access times
These symptoms fall into the category of a failing drive based on the following site:
http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/how-to-tell-when-your-hard-drive-is-going-to-fail.html
I'm going to return the power supply and game card and look to investing in a new hard drive in case this one finally decides to go to valhalla.

How much can a 430 watt power supply take?

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me out. See below for my rig. Do I have too many components for my Antec 430 watt True power? I haven't been able to find any accurate power ratings for these components.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
CD151

I agree you should be fine, and that the site overestimates a bit (it says my setup should have at least 386 watts, and I've been fine on my 380W PSU for over a year now of near 24/7 operation...even though I believe that the PSU's max possible output across all rails is only 330W total). The bottom line is that any modern PSU from a decent manufacturer (and Antec is a pretty good choice for PSU's) will do just fine.
Note that the PSU calculator site uses the *max* possible power consumption for all the components (i.e. the Athlon64 CPU *does not* draw 89W of power all the time, or even all the time when it is at 100% utilization), and the same applies for the other components as well. A little while ago I purchased a power monitor thingy that plugs into the wall socket and has a readout that displays the current power draw, as I was fed up with people always thinking that my PSU was woefully inadequate for my setup. At idle, my system, with all its drives and PCI cards and overclocks, pulls a grand total of 150W of power. At 100% CPU utilization (Prime95 torture test), it pulls a little under 190W. At full CPU and GPU utilization (playing HL2, and the rthdribl demo), the total power drain is always under 225W. Now let's bear in mind that this is power drain from the outlet, *not* power applied to the board. Because the PSU is, at best, 85% efficient, 15% of this energy (at least) is lost as heat in the PSU, meaning that only about 192W is actually going out to the board at full CPU/GPU load, and since the PSU is capable of sending up to 330W out to the board (assuming it performs up to spec, which it should given Antec's reputation), I have quite a bit of headroom even on my "small" 380W PSU, even though I'm running more hardware than most users.
So anyways, the moral of the story is just get a quality PSU from a manufacturer that is reputable for making good PSU's, and you shouldn't have to worry about a thing.

Pavilion p6510f desktop won't boot

When I turn on the computer and the monitor, the monitor displays the usual message that I need to activate the monitor via the computer. Unfortunately that's as far as I can get. I have no lights on the USB keyboard or optical mouse, and neither of them works. There is no cursor on the screen. Eventually the monitor goes to sleep. When I reboot the computer there is no beep. The light behind the HD is glowing steady green. I have tried doing a hard reset, as described in HP's troubleshooting overview. I hear the fans power up, and possibly a whir or two from the HD. I have opened the case, and tried removing/reseating the memory modules. I even followed the advice someone posteon this board, to try booting with only 1 of the modules, then the other, to see if that wold permit booting. On separate attempts I have tried repeatedly hitting F8, F2 and who remembers what other Fs. I did what I could to research this on the HP site, and some others. I tried popping in my System Restore disc, and I think I heard the HD spinning a bit on booting, nothing more happened. When I boot up with the external HD plugged in,the lights on the HD are fine. For the last few months I had been having problems with the computer freezing from time to time in hibernate mode -- there was no way to get it to wake up using the keyboard or mouse, so a few times I had no choice but to turn off the computer by pressing the power button.. This started when it was still in warranty, and at one point I did speak to customer service about it. I've been out of warranty about a month now. The other evening after not using the computer for a while, we came back to find a message box saying that in order to come out of hibernate mode we would need to use the keyboard, which we did, and everything seemed normal. (This is what was described to me, I was not home to witness it myself.) But the next morning it wouldn't wake up at all. I may have left out some of the things I read about or tried. I can't count the number of times I tried rebooting. Should I bring it in to my guy and pray he can fix it? Or is there something else I can try? I'm not up to dismantling the innards myself, beyond the simplest things. It has Win 7, 64-bit.

Expert Anthony 8211, As of 3 Aug 2015 could you please bring me upto date about the problem with the p6510f model of the HP Pavilion desktop? I bought it about 4 or 5 yrs ago but took it out of the box just a few months ago. I tried all of the solutions that you and others suggested in the forum. Did not help. The product no for my desktop is WW639AA#ABA Windows 7 Home Premium 64-BIT Service pack 1 installed. Runs on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and with Service pack 1 installed. Has 4 GB RAM. I'm profoundly ignorant of PC hard and soft ware. The PC is working though despite the power on or off indicator problem. Normally when the PC is to be powered on after having been shut down, the clear plastic rectangular button on the top of the tower is gently pressed down once and the light within it, it would turn blue and if there is no activity for a while the light would become orange (indicating sleep status) and again gently pushing down that button would restore the blue light indicating that the power to the PC is fully back up. Pressing that on/off button does not indicate if the power is on or not since it does not get lighted blue or orane. A very small light at the top of the front face of the tower flickering orange is the only indication that the PC is powered and as it happens, its working. Opinions on the forum for this specific problem for this particualr model p6510f suggest taking out and reinstalling memory modules and /or disconnect the monitor, ethernet cable from the router that is off , the wired mouse etc after shutting down and then go with unplugging the power cord at the back, press the button just once, wait 10 seconds before re plugging in the power cord. Your opinion and methodology to solve this problem would be much appreciated assuming that you would go to the forum and check out this subject though its been 4 years since it was last posted. Thus my query may never reach you given that this HP Pavilion Thkg you N_Yorker2015 Small PC repair businesses are fast disappearing in NYC's Manhattan.

Regarding the installation of new graphic card into the p6510f desktop

3. Error message (if any)
• no error message, but i have a new Geforce GTS 250 1G PCI-E Graphic Card. I just wonder that it is compatible on my desktop or not.
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
No, not at all

Hi, You need a HP version 8 BIOS to support the NVIDIA GTX 960. There is a version 8 BIOS posted but it's a one way installation (no back out). There is always some risk to installing a BIOS update. If it fails, you might have to send your PC in for service. The 460 watt power supply in your PC should have an auxiliary PCI-E 6 pin power connector available.

Unable to install driver for GTX 650 Ti on HP Pavilion p7-1187c

Greetings,
I have an HP Pavilion p7-1187c with integrated graphics (DX 10.1) on a IPISB-CU (Carmel 2) motherboard. I upgraded the power supply to a Corsair 550 (no problem) and then installed a Gigabyte GEFORCE GTX 650 ti graphics card. THe card is getting power judging by the fact the fan is spinning.
When I attemped to install the driver from the CD supplied by Gigabyte, I immediately get the message: This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware so was not able to install." I'm a computer novice so this message means nothing to me. Any help as to what the next step should be would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible that my motherboard simply will not allow for a separate graphics card?
I needed to upgrade the graphics card to be able to run X-Plane 10.
Thanks again for any help.
Leon

Hi Leon,
The NVIDIA 650 TI requires auxillary power via the PCI-E 6 pin power connector to fully power up. If the card doesn't fully power up then the bios is not going to see the card and therefore the operating system will not see the card.
The 650 TI card is 110+ watts and the without the PCI-E 6 pin power connector there is not going to be sufficient power from the PCI-E slot to power up the card. See the below image for the location to attached the PCI-E 6 pin power connector.

Re-occuring Black Screen - HP Pavilion a6700F desktop

We have an HP Pavilion a6700F desktop Vista that started getting a black screen - from what we can tell, it started when the Nvidia driver auto updated. We then upgraded to Windows 7 and ran the latest HP Updates, hoping that would fix the issue. It has not.
We've tried to remove the Nvidia driver, however, each time the system restarts, it auto-installs it.
We've been reading recommendations about upgrades to video cards, power supplies, etc., however, thought we'd come to the main source for advice, before we attempt to swap anthing out on own.
Your guidance/recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Hey italianice,
I'm sorry you're running into this issue with the black screen. Is there any pattern to when the black screen appears? During videos? Games? High CPU usage? During other specific programs?
It would be helpful to know which video driver and BIOS version you have currently. Here is a link for steps to find your current BIOS version. I'll keep an eye out for your reply

Will this video card and power supply work on my computer? HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC

I have a HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop PC, will this video card and power supply work on my computer?
Video Card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8379339&sku=A455-0760
Power Supply: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4668507&sku=C13-2511
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

It is unlikely that the power supply will fit/work in your HP Pavilion p6213w Desktop Computer. Please consider the Corsiar CX500, CX500M, CX600, and CX600M for your power supply needs. These power supplies are the same physical size as the factory unit and are known to fit and work in most HP full-sized consumer desktop computers.
There is a chance that the GTX 760 and other current generation video cards may not work in your computer. These newer cards typically require the computer to support the most current UEFI standards and many motherboards don't meet this criteria. Please know the return policy on any video card you purchase, in case it doesn't work. If the GTX 760 doesn't work, consider the GTX 650/660 Ti or equivalent AMD graphics card for your graphics card needs.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I am not a techie, but looked at online forums and have tried f10 at startup with no change to the screen other than it stops after the first four lines and does not try the floppy drive. I also pulled out the round battery, waited and then reintstalled. Same problem.
Also, computer emits a single, repeating beep after startup.

I saw your post and wanted to comment. I'm not an expert on these types of situations but did some digging around and found the following at Tips4PC.com.... read below
"There are two types of computer black screens that can appear in Windows. One where the computer will not boot up but you have a beep sequence sounding to let you know what the problem could be, and the other has nothing at all. No beeps, no cursor, no logo screen, and no choice to boot to safe mode or access the bios.
If your computer will not boot up and you get a beep sequence, I am not saying it is good news, however it is a step in the right direction towards solving this problem. This is a message from your computer that can be understood by looking up your bios (the brand) beep code. For example you may have an Award Bios, Ami Bios, Phoenix BIOS, Compaq, Dell, or Acer Bios. This list goes on and on. You can search for Bios beep codes in Google. Here is an example of results in Google search"
Link
Also I went into the Troubleshooting Guide for the A6000 and found the following information. You need to use F11 for recovery. See below
Starting System Recovery from system startup
1
Turn off the computer. If necessary, press and hold the On button until the computer
turns off.
2
Remove the HP Personal Media Drive if your computer includes one. Disconnect all
peripheral devices from the computer except the monitor, the keyboard, and the
mouse.
3
Press the On button to turn on the computer.
4
During the startup, do the following to enter the Recovery Manager program:
When the blue screen with the HP Invent logo appears, press the F11 key on the
keyboard. (You have only a few seconds to press the F11 key before the normal
startup process continues.)
5
The computer starts the Recovery Manager program; wait for the onscreen instructions
to display, and then follow those instructions.
6
Complete the computer startup, finish the registration process, and wait until you see
the desktop. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all peripheral devices, and turn on
the computer.

HP Pavilion p6670t desktop randomly freezing with distortion to monitor (suspect hardware issues)

HP Pavilion p6670t desktop
Intel Core i3 550
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel HD graphics
I get random freezing on my computer with distortion to the screen (some of the colors look off, and I see thick purple vertical lines).
I'm not running any labor intensive processes (sometimes not even doing anything when it freezes). The temperatures are cool.
No BSOD.
I ran HP's hardware diagnostics tools, and everything passed. Ran Memtest on each individual stick and all together, and they all passed as well.
I suspect video hardware problems, but since it is integrated with my mainboard, I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions before I go out and buy new hardware.
Thanks!

when the blue screen comes up next time, write down any error codes (long string of numbers) this will give you an idea on what the problem could be. write them down and either come back here or google the code... it sounds like hardware failing... could be your hard drive or maybe ram failing. one thing you can do is open it up and make sure you remove all the dust and lint from the inside and you can re-seat your ram chips along with checking your Hard Drive cable/ribbon
