I have an HP Pavilion M8200N DeskTop looking to upgrade it?

I was doing some reason and its not a bad desktop, nothing super crazy but good enough for most of my video editing and photo work. Im looking to upgrade it as the only thing laking is the video card. So can you please tell me what the best video card is to get without upgrading my power supply and spending huge cash, but still a graphics card. As well a link to ram, how much should i put in extra?
Maybe cheap add ons that will help as well! thanks

Here are the specs for the MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) motherboard installed in your computer. Here is the "Software & Driver Downloads" page for your computer. Your computer is a 64-bit system running a 32-bit Windows Vista OS. HP provides drivers and software for Vista 64-bit for your computer. If you wish to install the maximum 8GB that your computer can use, you will need to replace the 32-bit OS with a 64-bit OS. If you made your HP Recovery Discs, you can use them to install most of the included HP software back on the computer after installing Vista 64-bit. A quick search on this forum should return a method to get a Vista 64-bit installation disc.

I have a HP Pavilion P6000 desktop, using Windows 7.

I have a HP Pavilion P6000 Desktop. Model p6531p. For about 2 weeks now, if I stop using my computer for even 5 minutes,
the processor will turn itself completely off. Is there something that was set incorrectly that I can change myself?? I'm using Windows 7 (if that makes any difference).

The model you have given is just a series number. For better assistance, please provide the full HP model name and/or product number of the computer in question. Please check "Control Panel" > "Power Options" for settings that may affect your computer in the manner you describe.

I have an HP Pavilion a 1035c desktop. At boot I get BIOS error 04-3. New 2TB drive.

I have an HP Pavilion a1035c desktop. I am trying to install a Hitachi 2TB drive. The drive was cloned from the original drive in the system using Norton Ghost. As an additional drive on the computer everything seems fine but when I try to boot up using the big drive only I get BIOS error 04-3.

Tim, welcome to the forum.
Do you have two hard drives connected when attempting to boot from the 2TB drive? If so, I suggest disconnecting the the second hard drive to see if that helps. Also, if you haven't done so, updating to XP SP3 may help.

HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista black screen - need help please!

I have an HP Pavilion a6000 desktop with Vista. Yesterday it was working fine and today we have the black screen that reads:
Award BootBlock BIOS v1.0
Copyright (c) 2000, Award Software, Inc.
BIOS ROM checksum error
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Found CDROM, try to boot from it...Fail
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Detecting IDE ATAPI device...
Detecting floppy drive A media...
Drive A error. System halt
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.
HELP!

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.

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 have a HP Pavilion a6603w. I want to upgrade power supply to run powerful graphic card. Suggest

I have a HP pavilion a6603w desktop model number FK555AA-ABA a6603w. I have a low to mid level graphics card, which is the most that my power supply will handle.
I want to get a stronger power supply to run a high end graphics card with a self cooling fan. Can anyone suggest an excellent, reliable power supply brand and model that will fit into my desktop case with minimum fuss? I am not tech savy but I have replaced my video card and hard drives with no problem.
Thanks,

Hello lugnut1204, I checked the specifications for your system and is appears the system shipped with a 250 power supply. The dimensions for this power supply are 5 15/16 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3 3/8 inches tall. Since your system is a MicroATX version, you would be slightly limited to a power supply of the same size as the original power supply.
Here is a link to Newegg where a Corsair 600 watt power supply can be found with almost the exact same physical size as you original 250 watt version. The Corsair power supply dimensions are 5.9 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3.4 inches tall.
If you get a power supply too long, it may interfer with the back of the CD\DVD drives.
You would need to locate a video card that you wanted and make sure the power supply requirements were less than the 600 watt Corsair model. Most of the mid to higher end cards require at leaset a 400 to 500 watt or greater power supply.

When HP Pavilion p6320uk desktop is connected to monitor it says no signal.

Hello I have a HP Pavilion p6320uk desktop that was working fine for the a couple of months, and then suddenly the next day the monitor says no signal?! Even though all the moniter cables are connected and the desktop is still able to power on like it should be. Plus all the internal components are working, so I have no idea what the problems it could be the graphics card, which is ATI Radeon HD5450 or it could be the motherboard, which is a MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E).
The current operating system installed is a windows 7 (64-bit)
No changes or modifications were made at all when this problem occured.

Hi:
This is what I would do if it happened to me...
If you don't have a second monitor to hook up to rule out a broken monitor first...
Your PC's specs state that it comes with the HD5450 and also onboard Intel video.
So, I would remove the Radeon video card and hook the monitor up to the onboard video out port.
If your monitor works then you know the video card failed.
If you still get no signal then probably the motherboard has suffered a major malfunction, or the monitor is bad.
Remember to unplug the PC before working inside of it.
Below is the link to the upgrading and servicing guide if you need info on how to access the inside of the PC and remove the video card.

Hi chavinda546,
No you can't put an Intel i7-960 chip into the motherboard in your PC. You would end up replacing the motherboard, memory, power supply and processor. And, your HP recovery disks would not work so you would probably need to buy a copy of Windows 7.

System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

I have a HP Pavilion Elite d5100 ATX Desktop PC. On start-up, it froze at the HP flash Screen.

I have a HP Pavilion Elite d5100 ATX Desktop PC. On start-up, it froze at the HP flash Screen. It’s mostly unresponsive; will not access BIOs w/ f1 key; will not Recover w/ f11. It will respond at start-up to ESC, displaying “Loading Boot Menu…”, and w/ f10 “Entering Setup”, but never proceeds past message.I have never upgraded the BIOS I have disconnected and peripherals, net connection and replaced the CMOS battery. I have also followed a suggestion to disconnect the mouse and keyboard on start- up to see if they are the issues. Nothing is working.

Hi,
If you can enter setup, then go into the bios and see if the hard drive and the CD/DVD are recognized. If you can't get past the entering setup message then try the below procedures.
Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any. You might want to buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink. Plug your PC back in and give it a go.
Try this procedure and see if you can isolate the issue. Trouble Shooting Power Supply Issues. Don’t skip any steps.

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

I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2. Each time I try to save a Word or Excel document I get the “Not Responding” message. The “Word is saving……” bar at the bottom does not show any progress. On clicking the document I get a faded version even when in Safe Mode. Somehow the document appears on the Desktop where I tried to save it. On trying to open the saved document, even as administrator, I get the following ”File in Use” message:
“The ….docx is locked for editing by….” and I am asked three questions including:
“Do you want to open a Read Only copy” yet on clicking “Yes” I am able to edit the same document.
On trying to save to a different location I get the message:
“Your autocorrect file MSO 1033.ad could not be saved. The file may be read only or you may not have permission to modify this file.”
The same message stating FILE12\1033\MSO.ACL MSO 1033ad recurs with new Excel documents.
How can I correct this problem?
PS
Worse still, the HP Advisor icon that appears on startup does not load successfully while showing the message: “Access to the path Hewlett-Packard\HD Advisor is denied”.
What can I do about it?
