My hp m8100n freezes so I want to replace the video card

I bought this computer a few years ago and lately it's been freezing a lot (pretty much freezes 5 mins after I turn it on). It's to the point where I have to press the power button and turn off the computer. I'm actually not sure why but this tends to happen when I'm trying to watch videos online or just playing games (even solitaire). I've updated all the drivers from the website and that doesn't seem to work. I read on some forums that this is a problem with the video card so I want to replace it with another computer's video card but I know nothing about computers.
I'm wondering if anybody could tell me if I have to know anything before I go and plug in another video card. I know the m8100n video card is on the motherboard, do I need to disable it before I install the new card? or can I just put this one on? I just don't want to break the computer.
The video card is ati radeon x1600 pro 256 mb and I'm pulling this from another computer in my house (that comp's dead so I'm pulling parts out and using it in other places).

Hi,
Many things can cause freezes.
If you are using a wireless keyboard and/or mouse then replace the batteries.
You might be having a heat issue.
Try this procedure:
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 and the system fan. Plug your PC back in and give it a go.
Don't install the ATI Radeon x1600 pro 256 mb video card as it needs a bigger power supply compared to the 300 watt power supply in your PC.

I had two files named graphics and I replaced one graphics file with another which was the wrong one. Can I undo my replacement? I move the wrong one, which was on my desktop into another one and that is when it as me if I wanted to replace the file.

I accidently replaced a file with another. Can I undo my action?
I had two files named graphics. One was on my desktop and another was within another file called solitarie. I move the one on my desktop (wrong file) into the solitarie file and was asked if I wanted to replace the graphics file in the solitarie folder (the correct one). I said yes accidently and then remembered that I had made a mistake. If I use undo, it only move the wrong file back to the desktop. Is there an undo of replace?

Sorry, but's that's why you get the warning. "Replace" means just that - the new file over-writes the old one. There is no undo.

I have bought a IPhone 4 from Malaysia, my home button is not working. I want to replace the phone under warranty but all service centres mention that its country specific and I need to get it replaced only at malaysia. Can anyone guide me what to do????

The iPhone warranty is not international and as you purchased in
Malaysia the warranty is only valid in Malaysia
You could try taking to an iPhone Authorised service provider
in India but there have been many similar posts to yours
and I am not aware of them assisting with an iPhone from
outside India

I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570

I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570. I want to upgrade to a professional monitor for photo editing and would like to know what is available?

Jimg-evv, welcome to the forum.
What is the make/model of the monitor that you want to buy. I will provide the information for you, but it would help me to know more about the monitor.
You can upgrade the video card. However, most mid-level cards require at least 400W to operate properly. The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W. A card that would work for your needs would require a PSU upgrade, as well.
I recommend at least 500W; 600W would be even better because it would allow for future upgrades. I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's.
You would need a PCI Express x16 video card. I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. If you upgrade the PSU, this card should work for you.

I want to use the sound card with LabView

Hi. Who can help me, I want to use the sound card with LabView, I have found the function but I can't use it. Thanks.

Christi,
In LabVIEW 6.1 I found some examples they use those sound VIs. They are located in \examples\sound folder. Those examples should give you a good overview how to use the VIs.
Hope this helps

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your iPad then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

I want to replace the 'Mac OS X Server' header graphic...

...but I can't find where it's located. Can anyone shed any light...?
I don't really want to replace the entire index.html page, or add a redirect as it's not really necessary here.

See if this helps. I haven't tried it yet but apparently someone figured it out. Let me know if it works for you too please.

When I go to youtube and view a video clip it usually asks if i want to save the video I'm watching. Now all of a sudden it no longer asks the question. How do I get it back?

I believe that might be related to this:

I have a window asking: do you want to replace the existing Normal.dotm? what should i do? I'm on OSX 10.7.5 with Office 365 14.3.2 for mac 2011.

I have a window asking: do you want to replace the existing Normal.dotm? what should i do? I'm on OSX 10.7.5 with Office 365 14.3.2 for mac 2011.

That is not what I said.
Normal.dotm is a template, not a .doc file. It is the template that every new document is based upon, IF you changed any of the template settings (font size or other attributes) then you will be prompted to save the changes.
Did you? (or is this an old Windows Template)

I want to transfer the Video transitions from premier Pro to Premier Pro CC 2014 I like to use the old video Transitions?

I want to transfer the Video Transitions fro premier Pro to my new project in Premier Pro CC 2014 what can I do? My e-mail is( [email protected] )

Hi
How did you "transfer" Express?
It might be better to re-install Express 9 from scratch, though without an Optical drive you would need to:
a) Use an external Optical drive
b) Make a disk image of the installer on another computer and then copy that image to the rMBP
c) Make use of Apple's Remote Disk

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

I want to replace the 40GB HDD on Satellite M50-130

I want to replace the hard-disk, since it is becoming unreliable but cannot fnd the specs.
Can anyone help with the exact specs please?
Is the drive IDE or SATA?
Size = 2.5 inch?
I believe the original size is 40gb, can I replace with any size?
Is the removal and replacement easy? Are there any instructions please?
I have a horrid feeling that there may be recovery data for the operating system on a hidden partition in the drive.
Is that correct? Can that be transferred to a new hard-disk?
Many thanks,
Nick

The Satellite M50-130 was delivered with the 2.5" 60GB HDD.
This HDD supports a rotation speed of 5400rpm and it supports an enhanced IDE (ATA 6) interface.
So you need an IDE HDD, and not SATA
