Is there a PCI port on a Hp 144c motherboard?....

Hello, i'm new to all this computer stuff but recently a relative bought me a Hp Pavilion Dv6-3231nr,and a friend told that the mother board has a PCI/PCI-E port which he said i can put a small graphics card in. I was just asking is all that true? Also I heard tha you can remove the wifi card and replace it with a pci card to add another graphics card. is that  possible?
-Thank You

Hi FoxHound196,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand a friend advised you that it was possible to add another graphic card and that you could replace the WLAN card with another graphic card.  I do not believe that is possible.   Here is the specification for your notebook and the service manual.

  • Problem with X99S GAMING 9 AC - PCIE-PORT reporting V1.1 same with SLI

    Yeah as the topic is saying, I got issue with my PCIE 3.0 ports, they are saying my grafic cards are running at x8 1.1
    I should first mention that I had these issues for a while, and I also updated all drivers to the latest versions, but still same issues. I got the 1,4 bios version for the motherboard and the nvidia V344.65 that was released today.
    I tried to change it in bios from auto to gen 3 on the PCIE-ports, but still same results.
    I made a post earlier about that SLI running slow in WoW and 3Dmark Firestrike. Maybe this is the source to the issue due to the ports running at 1.1 and not 3.0?
    Also, in both WoW and 3Dmark Firestrike, I get much higher FPS and results with just one grafic card activated, when I go into SLI the results drop like a rock..
    The weird thing about SLI though, that it seems to work okay in games like Diablo 3 ROS and 3Dmark11.
    I have my grafic cards in the recommended PCIE-ports, 1 and 4.
    Here is a screenshot how it looks like in GPU-z:
    Is this a known issue and is there any upcoming fix to this? Feels really bad I can't use my grafic cards to their fullest potential..
    My whole computer setup:
    Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    Quote from: Svet on 12-November-14, 23:58:15
    its probably because the render test doesn't handle or don't support SLI well and second card become back to idle
    run something else apps., bench or games who support SLI well then check their modes
    Enable sli load balancing if needs from nvidia control panel to check SLI utilization
    Seems to work the correct way when I start a game, but still got issues with WoW and 3Dmark firestrike. My results with SLI is far worse then with just one single card activated. Anyone know why?
    I get more FPS from WoW with one card then two, and I get much higher score in 3Dmark firestrike with just one card..

  • Is there a USB port for use of a flash drive?

  • Do I have PCI ports?

    Hi I just picked up a USB 2.0 PCI Port for my Power Mac G4 Duel 867MHz processor Machine. I opened it up and tried to install it but noticed the ports seem to be different then what the USB 2.0 port has which is PCI. Basically if I don't have PCI what do I have and am I still able to install USB 2.0 in this machine?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just a tiny bit stumped.

    Here is another picture, a drawing of the logic board with labelling -
    http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9686/qsdalogicbd8aa.jpg
    I seem to recall that not all PCI cards may be full-length, probably a function of which connectors in the port they actually need to use (not all cards may need to use all the connectors). The cards are keyed, however, and should fit only one way no matter their length.
    Since the rear flange/plate on the card, where its USB ports are, should end up flush with the opening on the back of the computer, that should give you the exact position for the card relative to the slot.
    Don't forget to remove the blank-off plate covering the opening associated with that PCI slot position.

  • NF980-G65 RMA board, fried PCIE ports?

    OK, so after a miserable RMA experience with MSI several years ago, MFLASH killed my board recently and I had to RMA it. The whole process took 2 weeks, which while excruciatingly long to go without my gaming rig, wasn't as bad as I though. I installed my new RMA board and the PCIE slots are bad. I'm posing on this machine right now with a 250GTS in the slot but its running under Standard VGA Adapter. I have been working on this machine for 2 days now and the only conclusion is that they're fried. The parts I tested with work perfectly fine on my other machine with the same board, and are rock stable, even through 12 hours of prime95 and 8 hours of Memtest86. I have tried...
    4 videocards: MSI 460GTX Cyclone 1GB(brand new), XFX GTS250 1GB, 8800GTS 320MB, 7950GT 512MB. ALL cards work in 2 other machines
    2 sets of DDR, Patriot DDR3 1600 2x4GB for AMD systems, OCZ Black Edition DDR3 1600 2x4GB. Both run perfect in my other NF980
    3 revisions of nVidia drivers straight from the sight, 2 revisions of nForce drivers
    2 PSU: Coolermaster 550 SLI, OCZ 850 Game Xtreme
    Fresh Win7 64 install on a spare HDD, wouldn't get past "starting services" when its looking for VGA
    As I said, the machine runs great right now, its cool (32idle 54fully loaded) and every thing else works as intended. I have all drivers installed (nForce board & LAN, Creative Audigy) but when I go to install the drivers for the videocard, after it reboots, the system gets to the login screen and freezes after 5-10 seconds forcing a hard reboot. The onboard video works but looks absolutely horrid but no card will function after loading its drivers. I have let Windows load its own GTS250 driver but it does the same thing. Its not the videocards (all 4 are running good), its not the RAM or heat issues. After every driver uninstall I reboot into safe mode and use driver cleaner pro then reboot and reload drivers but they all do the exact same thing. I have tried resetting BIOS safe and recommended defaults, hand tweaking it..EVERYTHING!! Now I will have to try and get another RMA and make it another 2-4 weeks with hundreds of dollars of hardware collecting dust.
    Has anyone ever got MSI to cross ship? They can have my credit card number, phone number, social security..hell even my firstborn, I just need to get this thing up and running NOW!! Every store in my area dropped the board from their website within the last 2 weeks and I drove 40 miles from store to store today looking for someone with one in stock, I was desperate enough to do the old sticker switch and return and pay the restocking fee which is less than shipping this thing back again. Things like this make me want to swear off MSI like I've sworn off ASUS but I've been running MSI boards for over a decade (remember the K7NG2-ILSR and Neo4 Platinum SLI!!!) and to me they always put out the perfect motherboard with the mix of features, stability, overclocking and color schemes but I just cant have a system down for 2 months when I've scrimped and saved to buy all these toys and waited for them to ship.
    Maybe I'm missing some magical step that I haven't seen in my 12 years of experience. Any ideas? 

    Ok, I have tried 5 cards now, in all 3 ports and the exact same thing happens. 460GTX, GTS250, 8800GTS, 7950GT, 7600GT
    I completed a succesful benchmark with Vantage with the onboard video.
    It ran 2 1HR prime95 sessions, 1 with onboard and 1 with a card in the slot (Standard VGA adapter), the system and PSU are stable
    Everything was stripped from the case and run at my workstation, with only 1 HDD, 1 stick of RAM, BIOS defaults. It runs beautifully, until the machine reboots after video driver install.
    I handle the board VERY gently, but it does a lot of "crackling" like something is loose or not set properly onto the board. As stated, I have another NF980-G65 in my other system and it runs all of the hardware fine and seems to be much more solidly built.
    I'm going to box it up and return it again, there simply is no other option. Hopefully the next one will work properly.

  • Mini-PCIe port for WAN on X120e other uses

    Hi, I ordered a X120e without the WAN conectivity option so it came without the card but i do have that mini-PCIe available, is it possible to use that port for something else? I wanted to put a second wifi card for penetration testing and research... or even some solid storage card in there.

    Well, unless you hack the BIOS to white-list whatever wireless card you install, it'll be a moot point. Also, you'd need to find a pcie ssd with an onboard controller that advertises itself as a drive controller, of which none of the available ones I know of does. So, in conclusion, unless an engineer comes out and says it can support more, odds are we can't use it for much anything outside of Lenovo wireless cards.

  • HP Mini - Is there a serial port?

    On the HP Mini 110-1030NR, I need to use software that communicates through a serial port but the Mini does not show any serial ports. Is there any way to enable the serial port? I have looked in the BIOS and the Advanced section is not listed which is where the HP website support says to go to enable serial ports. Am I out of luck?
    Thanks-

    Sorry I mixed too many issues in the last message. 
    I think the simpler question is:  Can I use a USB to serial adapter with the HP Mini 110-1030NR?
    If so, how do I get it to work? I have installed the driver that came with the adapter. I know the adapter worked on an old Dell laptop. So, the issue must be the HP.
    Do you still have the manual that came with the adapter?
    Does the device show up in Device manager?
    which OS is installed on your mini?
    look under Device Manager of the System Properties screen.  (Go there by Start-Setting-Control Panel-System Properties-Hardware-Device Manager-Select View-Device by connection).
    The device should have installed as a “USB Serial Port (COMx)” attached to “USB High Speed Serial Converter”.
    Change COM Port Properties & COM Port Number
    This feature is particularly useful for programs, such as HyperTerminal, which only work with COM1 through COM4.  Please ensure that you do not change the COM Port Number already in use.
    To change the virtual COM port properties:
    Select the “USB Serial Port”
    Click “Properties”
    Select “Port Setting”
    Select “Advanced”
    Click the drop down arrow on COM Port Number and scroll to the required COM port.
    Select “OK”
    Return to the Device Manager Screen.  You will see that the USB Serial Port installation has been changed to the new COM Port Number.

  • PCI port problems with video card

    I have been running 2 video cards (ati 9800pro and 7500) fine for about 2 months now.  Over the weekend I came home to find the monitor with my second card garbled with black lines running up and down the screen, shifting left and right.  Also, there was a problem with my promise controller (had a question mark next to it in device manager)  I reinstalled that and it works fine now.  My second card continues to give me problems though.  Device manager picks it up and says that my card is working fine but in display settings my card does not show up.  I believe it a problem with the motherboard as I have tried 2 nvidia cards with the same result.  It is also not related to windows as if I change the boot config to load my second card first (pci) the black lines/wavy picture loads up with the msi screen and in the bios setup as well (totally unreadable).  I've also made sure that my monitor is working fine.  Any suggestions????  Thanks.

    Well to tell you the truth, I don't like the sound of this ...especially since you said that you tried another card, and had the same result....Well I would first go into the BIOS and on the PNP/PCI page, check the Clear NVRAM to enabled..As this will reset all the PNP devices...See if that works ...Have you tried to switch the AGP/PCI initiation sequence in the BIOS? back and forth?...You can also see if there are any IRQ conflicts.(but you probaly did this allready)...You can also try to increase the PCI latency, If it is set to 32 go up to 64 and try...Do you have any other PCI cards with problems?...Have you tried a different PCI slot?.....Well maybee another member or moderator has some advice ...Let us know.....Sean REILLY875

    I have just had issues connecting certain peripherals, i.e. USB flash drives and USB Wireless keyboard receivers.
    I usually have no issues when these peripherals are connected one at a time. However, when I try to add something else, I then have to look at USB extension cables.
    There had been a discussion on this issue a few months ago, with other users facing similar challenges. I will see if I can find the link.
    Looking at the competition, it seems like horizontal USB ports are the industry standard.

  • Thunderbolt and Superdive PCIe ports don't work after logicboard replacement.

    I recently had my 2011 MBP motherboard replaced by Apple because of the common GPU failure. I got it back with these issues:
    The DisplayPort portion of the thunderbolt port still works, but the port will not even power a thunderbolt drive.
    I have an HDD in the Superdrive slot, and it is also not recognized.
    I replaced the HDD with the Superdrive and it works, but an HDD wont.
    I'm guessing that this is some sort of controller issue, potentially involving a plist issue.
    Any help?
    Thanks.

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder. You may have to use your Admin password in order to move it.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Is there a usb port to download files from another person

    I want to know if I can download a file from storage device inot an ipad?

    You'll need to look into some sort of internet/web based file sharing. Dropbox, etc.
    Also, if you don't have an app to read the file then it won't do you much good. FOr example, if you want to share a word document between devices, both devices need to be able to open the word document - because you don't save the file to your iPad to be opened, you 'send' it to an app that can open it.

    Unless you need a PCI slot, the logical step up would be to sell the one you have and get a Z77 board.
