HP Pavillion 500 PC Series 327-ng: Installing Windows 7?

Hello I could need your help I'm really at the end of my knownledge and really desperate.
So I have bought this PC today, I didn't have anything against Windows 8.1 per se, but I wanted to use my internet and my software (T-Online 6.0) wouldn't work on Windows 8.
So I decided to install my Windows 7. Stupid as I was I of course deleted the recovery partitions while I was installing.
As soon as I had W7 installed I noticed my internet wasn't working, while one the other hand internet on the laptop was working.
Turns out some drivers were missing. So I got the drivers mentioned in this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Desktop-PC-Questions/pavilion-500-ethernet-controller-driver/td-p...
After that my internet was working at least partially. Partially means that my downloads kept failing at different time periods. That includes downloading the newest driver from Nvidia, Adobe Flash and Windows Updates. I first thought it could have to do with the firewall, but the only firewall active was Windows Firewall and deactivating didn't help much either.
So may it be, that the Ethernet driver I took from Realtek isn't the right one for me?
I'm back on my old PC now and everything is working fine, could I move my Network Card from one PC to the other, would that help?
Or might I maybe have a virus? Cause I several times got the message Side-by-Side configuration failed when starting a program, I got the same message on my laptop, from which I got my drivers across to the new PC.
I never seen that message before and today several times... it always came when I wanted to start installation programs...
Also the internet sites load even slower than on my old PC (and I sometimes get messages: Content Encoding Error) and Flash is not working despite installing it.
I wonder why I was so stupid to try and install Win 7 to begin with... I feel really bad now since I don't know what else to do with my PC D:... makes me cry...
It was the first thing I ever bought with money I earned myself
I bet there is no way getting it back to it's original state, after I deleted the recovery partitions, right?
This question was solved.

Anytime.
Glad to have been of assistance.
If you have any problem finding a driver or two, please let me know what device(s) need them and I will be happy to see what I can do to help.

HP Pavillion 500 PC series (model no : 500-119ea) - no sound

My PC is running on Windows 8 and I have bought it recently. My PC is a HP Pavillion 500 PC series (model no : 500-119ea). I have no sound whatsoever coming from my computer. The speaker icon at the bottom of my desktop is not on mute. I seem to have an IDT high definition audio CODEC on my hardware and sound settings. In the device manager, this is enabled. However when I test this, no sound is coming. Do I need a HDMI cable connecting my CPU and monitor. Both are HP.
Please let me know how I can get this fixed?

Your HP Pavilion 500-119ea Desktop Computer doesn't have internal speaker and therefore must be connected to external speakers to produce sound. This model supports;
2 - Optical S/PDIF-out 12 - Audio: Line Out port (lime)
Additionally, ports 8, 9, an 10 can be used for multi-channel audio setups. Also provide the model number of your monitor, so we can determine if it has speakers and what connections are needed, if any.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

HDMI & Pavillion 500-242ea

I have just bought a pavillion 500-242ea with an amd radeon hd7560d graphics . There is an hdmi port which I have connected to my tv but the tv says there is no signal. I have no trouble connecting a differnt desktop and my laptop to the tv. Could anyone say why this desktop will not connect to the tv please?

Hi Erico,
I apologise - I did read your email but have obviously misunderstood. I have just bought this computer. I made it clear at the store that I wanted to plug it into the TV so that I can stream video to the tv. They assured me that I could using the hdmi connector. That part is true. They did not include the fact that you could not use integrated video and the video card at the same time. Perhaps you did not ask the right question.
It is not clear to me what you mean by saying that the graphics on the motherboard is disabled if there is a graphics card. You said: An installed video card disables the motherboard's onboard video ports. The ports do not seem to be disabled as my monitor, which is plugged into one of those ports, is working. What I stated is a direct quote from the specifications.
Are you saying that the mere fact of having the video card in the computer should mean that the vga output that is coming from the motherboard is disabled - that does not appear to be happening. The are to portson the graphics card, hdmi and dvi. Neither og them output at all. The only port which works is the vga one on the motherboard. That would indicate either a bad PCIe-x16 slot, a failed video card or a bad motherboard. You need to contact HP or the store where you purchased it so you can resolve this issue under warranty. I suggest removing the connection to the integrated video and testing the connections at the video card again.

The following information on the image is from HP's Products specification on the support portal for your desktop PC. Your desktop PC has a different video card if I read what you said correctly. BTW..no apology required. It happens to everyone.

Pavillion 500-467C Sound Problem

Two months ago I bought a Pavillion 500-467C from COSTCO. My family and I have had 20 -25 computers in the last 20yrs.This one, by far, has the words sound quality I have ever heard coming out of any computer. I would like to bypass the built-in sound and add a sound card. Is there an open slot for a new sound card and what's involved in disabling the existing sound. if the comuter will accept an add on sound card ... do you have any sound card suggestions? Thanks in advance.Lwgiering

Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it.
Go to device manager and uninstall the driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
Try to update the driver from hp.com website for Sound & Bios.
Last step is to run a recovery on the unit before these please back up your data.
If still does not work speaker on the unit have gone bad needs to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the speaker replaced.
Let us know how it goes!

Enable both DVI ports on HP Pavillion 500-319na

I have just bought an HP Pavillion 500-319na which was described as having 1 x HDMI, 2 x DVI video interfaces.
The nvidia GeForce GT 705 Graphics card has 1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI sockets
The motherboard also has 1 x DVI socket which was blanked off with a small piece of plastic with "Do Not Remove" on it.
After advice from PC World I removed the plastic and tried the motherboard DVI socket which didnt work.
Is there a way to enable the motherboard DVI socket to work in parallel with Graphics card sockets.
Ultimately I would like to simultaneously run two monitors from the DVI sockets and have the HDMI socket enabled.
This is my first ever Post anywhere so apologies if there is insufficient information,
Cheers
RSPII

View Solution.

Please provide the complete brand and model information for the two monitors you are attempting to connect to your computer.
Based on the specs of your HP Pavilion 500-319na Desktop Computer, this model has one integrated VGA (analog only) port and one integrated DVI-D (digital only) port as shown below (PLEASE NOTE: Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed);
#4 - VGA (analog only) #5 - DVI-D (digital only)
Please replace the plastic cover you previously removed. There is no way to enable the integrated video ports while a discrete video card is installed.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 705
DVI (dual-link) resolution: 2560 x 1600 x 32bpp at 60Hz
HDMI resolution: 1920 x 1080
Analog VGA resolution (via dongle): 2048 x 1536 x 32bpp at 60Hz
Supports up to two displays at the same time.
There are a few ways to connect the monitors to your computer, however you can only use the two ports on the NVIDIA GeForce GT 705. The discrete card supports DVI-D (and VGA via dongle) and HDMI. HDMI signaling is the same as DVI-D in this case.
BEST (Recommended)
Computer --> DVI-D cable --> Monitor #1
Computer --> HDMI to DVI-D cable --> Monitor #2
GOOD
Computer --> HDMI to DVI-D cable --> Monitor #1
Computer --> DVI-D to VGA dongle --> VGA cable --> Monitor #2

I have installed Windows 7 into my Macbook Pro 15 inch with Lions as operating system. (current model with 2.2 GHz i7 processor, 500 GB HD ad 5400 rpm). When I started with boot camp, the system promped me to create a disc, which I presume is for the drivers for windows 7. Now windows is intalled. What do I do with the CD that the system created for me? Also, why does the system automatically start in Win7 instead of Lion. I need to pression the option key to have it start in OS X. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite.

Insert it while you are in Windows, if it does not autostart run setup.exe.
Choose your startup disk using Apple>System Preferences>Startup Disk (in OSX) or Control Panel>Boot Camp>Startup Disk (in Windows)

Hi,
If you have made any other modifications to your PC then remove those changes and revert to the original configuration.
If you still have issues then review this HP posted information.
Your PC is over two years old and typically HP ends support after 12 months when the warranty expires.
It's possible that the graphics card is faulty so RMA the card.

Just had to ask, do you know the difference between hard drive and CD/DVD drive? Don't get angry, read this.
You said " I know the old drive .......... is working as i can put discs in and they load up.When i click on the old drive-F drive- in file explorer 'Please insert disc' message pops up.'
All that implies a CD/DVD drive. You can not put a disc into a hard drive.

ENVY Touchsmart 15 J000 Series (J001TX) Optional mSATA slot for installing Windows?

I wanted to ask
1. whether we can install a mSATA drive of 60-120 GB in the mSATA slot and use it as the place to install Windows? Would it be like having a dual hard disc setup if windows is installed on the mSATA and the 5400 rpm HDD is formatted? I know this might affect the warranty but still i am curious.
2. Also is any particular mSATA drive models whitelisted/blacklisted by HP?
3. When we install a mSATA drive in the bay, does it affect the max RAM which we can use?
4. What is the size of the mSATA drive that would fit in the slot available?
5. Is the interface of the mSATA slot SATA II or SATA III?

Hi,
Q1: Yes you can install Windows on a mSATA module on this laptop..
http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-envy-hdx/729085-envy-15t-j000-msata-ssd-hdd-fresh-install-msata-b...
I recommend to remove the hard drive if the how to doesn't say that. A mSATA module is compatible so I don't think it will affect the warranty.
Q2: Hard to answer this one but some guys already confirmed that Samsung PM830 256GB drives work with this series. Some other models also work, just search this forum..
Q3: The mSATA can be used as cache or a boot drive. If it's going to be used as cache it won't work with 12GB or more according to the manual for the laptop series. If it's going to be used as a boot drive there shouldn't be any limitation so you may use the max 16GB or so.
Q4: mSATA is a standard/interface/format so any mSATA SSD should fit the slot, the capacity doesn't matter.
Q5: As I said mSATA is an interface (slot), SATA II or III (speed) is a matter of the chipset on the motherboard. It's the same case like the typical SATA connection. The connectors and slots are the same but the speed is based by the chipset..
