Pavilion 500-056

I bought this computer a few weeks ago and it had Windows 8 on it. I am leagally blind so I have to have a special program to zoom in on the screen so I can read it. The program wasnt working with Windows 8 and it will be a while before an update with happen. So I downgraded to Windows 7 but now I need the "Vista drivers" for Windows 7 for this machine. Where can I find them?

Hi:
You should be able to use the W7 64 bit drivers from this model (under the Original section).
DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE DOWNLOADS FROM THIS LINK

For the wireless and bluetooth you will need these drivers...

  • How do I add a second dvd burner (blue ray) to a HP Pavilion 500-023w?

    I have a fairly new Pioneer dvd blue ray burner that I would like to install in my HP Pavilion 500-023w. It is currently residing in my old XP machine, also a HP Pavilion. I guess that there is a different front panel that will acept a disk drive ?? The plastic front plate just below the installed drive is very large and will have to be completely removed to install any thing. I know this pc only has a 300 watt power supply, but I will only be using one drive at a time anyway. (Worked well in my old Pavilion...also a 300 watt supply!)
    Any one know how to get a drive into this machine? The drive is a Pioneer BDR-S07XLT. It has a SATA interface. I will probably need updated drivers for the drive as it says that it works in Windows 7, XP and Vista.

    Thuis video is of some use:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXk5sPvSdD8
    You only have one 5.25 inch optical drive bay so you are going to have to remove the existing drive and replace it with the one you want. 
    Specs
    The video shows how to add a pci-e card but does show opening up the unit. It looks like you need to remove the power supply, unbolt the optical drive and slide it back and out of the case. Replace it with the Blu-Ray drive. You will not need drivers but you will need software to play Blu-Ray movies. You can actually modify VLC media Player for free to play Blu-Rays. Just google a bit and you will find out how. 
    Good luck.

  • Have to regularly restart DHCP Client - HP Pavilion 500-205 DT - Windows 7

    HP Pavilion 500-205 DT - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
    Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller - Driver 7.67.1226.2012
    Bought 3 identical machines for our childcare center. Set them up the same. All work fine except ONE of them becomes inaccessible periodically (daily more-or-less) to the other Windows computers on our little peer-to-peer LAN. You can see it, but cannot access any shared folder. There is NO problem accessing the OTHER computers on the LAN from this one. All 3 machines have the same sharing profile, workgroup, permissions, AV, firewall settings, everything. I realized restarting the computer in question solved the problem immediately but temporarily. I narrowed it down to restarting the DHCP Client service. Do that, everything works fine immediately but temporarily.
    Things I tried:
    Calling HP support - not helpful at all. It is under warranty.
    Disabled IPv6
    Disabled wireless
    Disabled power-saving shutoff of network adapter
    Setting DHCP CLIENT recovery to:
      First Failure = Restart the the Service
     Second Failure = Restart the the Service
     Subsequent Failures = Restart the the Service
     Reset Fail count After = 120
     Restart Service after = 0
    But again, this isn't happening to the other machines with default settings. Nothing works except restarting the DHCP Client service. The loss of access happens with or without someone logged or using it. It has happened since it was first set up.
    I don't know if the HP warranty covers factory-loaded OS. I don't want to restore the thing and start over. I am not an IT professional, just the guy in the office who does these things, but it seems like the network adapter could be defective. I don't know if I can convince a first-level phone support person to have me bring the machine to an authorized service place.
    Any help greatly appreciated,
    Larry

    You're very welcome.
    I would tend to agree, but I wanted to offer you that driver as a last resort.
    This is a consumer to consumer forum.  I don't work for HP, and if you suspect it is a hardware issue, you will need to contact HP technical support and submit a support case under the warranty.
    The warranty covers hardware, and support for the HP software and operating system installed (as long as it is the original factory image that came with the PC and not an operating system you installed).

    Hi, Daniel:
    There is no 32 bit support for your model.
    You will have to experiment with drivers from business models and drivers from the hardware component mfr's websites.
    You can try these for starters:
    1. Chipset driver. Install first and reboot.
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=816&DwnldID=20775&keyword=chipset+ins...
    2. Graphics driver.
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23638&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207...
    3. Audio. This one I am not sure of, and you may never get the audio to work (try updating from the device manager and use the automatic search once you can connect to the internet).
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19282&keyword=IDT&DownloadType=Drive...
    Network:  Download and install the second driver on the list.

  • Downgrading Pavilion 500-037cb from Win 8.1 to Win 7

    I've been perusing the forum for a while now, and I couldn't find an example of my particular problem.  Whether that is because I cannot search a forum or because this particular issue hasn't come up before I can't say...but I digress.
    Short version: I think I need Windows 7 drivers for a computer that came with Windows 8 installed.  I'm having trouble getting my mouse and keyboard to play nicely during the Windows 7 install process, but there may be a deeper issue at hand.
    Long version (and thank you for reading this far, at least): I would like to "downgrade" my Windows 8.1-equipped computer.  I say "downgrade" but I would actually like to dual-boot both Windows 7and Windows 8.1 if possible.  I thought I knew what I was doing, but I've hit a wall (one which is likely very easy to surmount, but for whatever reason has got me stuck).
    My HP Pavilion 500-037cb has been a decent cpu thus far, and I even am getting used to Windows 8.  However, there is a certain program--autocad 2012--that has compatibility issues with anything past Windows 7, and I must be able to run it for my employer.  I was told that there would be no problem downgrading the 500 to Win7, but I'm learning now that this computer was never set up to run Windows 7.  I've tried going through hp's site to find a quick fix, but I've thus far come up empty. 
    First, I partitioned my drive in anticipation of the dual-boot setup.  I ordered a legit copy of Windows 7 and I followed youtube and other internet how-to's in order to alter the UEFA/BIOS in order to boot from the DVD drive.  When it came time to go through Window 7's install wizard, I could not get the keyboard or the mouse to interact with the cpu at all.  No clicking, no wiggling, no ctl-alt-del-ing, no ctl-shift-esc-ing, no nothing.  After restarting and reattempting twice, I presume that the issue is that my drivers are not set up to communicate with the impending Win7 install.  (To be honest, I don't know why this would be, as new computers are installed without internet-borne drivers every day, but I wonder if this Windows8-based computer has some sort of allergy to the HP hardware when installing Win7.) 
    I've read some advice given (such as from Mr. Paul Tikkanen at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03736054&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us... and other places) but I saw CPUs that were either notebooks or otherwise unlike my 500-037cb.  Would other 500-series advice help me?  Could I use the advice of laptop questions in lieu of actual 500-037cb advice?
    Furthermore, am I able to dual boot Win 8.1--> 8.1+7, or must I wipe the computer and install fresh as in 7-->7+8?  Is there any reason why the drivers would actually be the problem?  I'm able to handle a word document pretty well, but traipsing around the BIOS was hard enough, now this UEFI or whatever is cooking my goose.
    Thank you for putting up with this odyssey of a forum question.  Hopefully someone can guide me back to Ithaca, if you'll excuse the pandering. 

    Hello Mr. Tikkanen.  Thank you very much for your response.
    I remember reading something about the difficulties of USB 3.0 vs. 2.0, but it didn't occur to me to switch my mouse and keyboard plug-in.
    Unfortunately, my employer decided to buy a new Windows 7-capbable cpu this morning instead of having me install Win7 on the current cpu.  I was going to implement your suggestion today, but my copy of 7 was already shipped back by the time I got in today.
    I actually kind of want to try it anyway for the sport of it.  I promise that, if it comes to it and I'm asked to install it later, I will attempt your suggestion and update this forum with my results.
    Thank you, Mr. Tikkannen, and thanks to all you experts that search through the forums and help us get along.  It is very much appreciated.

  • Second hard drive in a Pavilion 500-300t

    I just bought a Pavilion 500-300t PC through the EPP program.  I want to install a second SATA hard drive in it, but I can't figure out how or where to mount the second drive.  As far as I can tell, there isn't a bay or rack for mounting an additional drive.  The primary drive is secured the PC frame.  Do I need to buy a separate rack and if so, which one?
    Thanks in advance.  Retired HP employee

    Hi,
    It's a special model probably only designed for EPP users. But for many Pavilion 500-300 series, no room to add the second HDD and the specs only says very simple:
    Form factor: Microtower
    Internal drive bays: One occupied
    External drive bays: One occupied
    Source:  http://m.hp.com/uk/en/products/desktops/product-detail.do?oid=6879020

  • Add a Second Hard Drive to a Pavilion 500-314 Desktop

    I have just purchased a Pavilion 500-314 desktop and desire to add a second SATA hard drive from the computer it is replacing.  When I open the case I find four SATA connections but nowhere to physically mount the second hard drive.  The drive bay is large and basically empty with the included hard drive mounted to the drive bay cage.  There are no slots for additional drives.  When I called HP I was told this chassis supports only one drive even though it has four SATA connectors on the motherboard.  Is there an adapter that can be purchased to create additional slots or am I out of luck with additional internal drives?

    Hi,
    Few weeks back, one user decided to go to a hardware store to buy brackets himself and problem solved. You may want to follow his method.

  • Pavilion 500-017c Compatible Video Graphics Cards

    Hello everybody,
    I just registered to this forum and I only have one question:
    I have an HP Pavilion 500-017c and I wanted to get a compatible graphics card that isn't much high-end (minimum $90, max $150) for my PC gaming purposes. Here are the specs of my current setup:
    HP Pavilion 500-017c
    AMD Radon HD 7560D Integrated Graphics Card
    AMD Quad-core A8-5500 Accelerated Processor
    8GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 SDRAM memory
    Windows 8.1
    For some reason, the integrated graphics card that I have slows down some of the games/software that I use. Not because of other running processes, but it just does. I would appreciate for the response. Thanks!

    Hi,
    HP BIOS defaults indicate that PCI-E slot security is disabled.  The five beeps means your PC is having a pre-video failure. This is a very common occurrence when a video card is installed and Secure Boot enabled.  See the below information that has been posted by HP.
    HP Secure Boot Windows 8 Topics   Computer Does not Start After Installing a Video Card (Windows 8)
    If you want to improve your gaming performance then try one on the below referenced video cards.  If NewEgg is out of stock then try Tiger Direct, Amazon or Google.  You will not need to change out your power supply.

  • Am I able to upgrade the powersupply and GPU on a Pavilion 500-424

    I have a Pavilion 500-424 and I would like to upgrade my GPU. This pc only has a 65 watt power supply and I am wondering if this and the GPU are upgradeable.

    Here is what the motherboard looks like:
    It is much like a laptop. There are no expansion slots to add a video card of any kind. And the 65w power supply is external so that cannot be upgraded either. Sorry.

  • Pavilion 500-205t power supply

    So I'm thinking about getting the Pavilion 500-205t, with the i5 4690 and 6 gigs of RAM (I don't really need any more than that for gaming anyway, which is what I'll be using it for). I plan on putting in a new graphics card, but the only problem is that the 300 watt power supply isn't going to cut it.
    My question is this: What is the name of the power supply that the 500-205t uses (I can't seem to find it online...) and what would be a viable replacement for it? I would need at least a 400w PSU, and I believe the dimensions would need to be less than or equal to 6x5x3.5 inches.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    You would be better off buying a Corsair CX500 or CX500 depending on your needs and the cost at time of purchase and the minimum power supply requirement stated by the graphics card manufacturer.

    Can ou help?
    Thanks.

    Ngutman,
    Function keys-
    F1-F4, look like they have to do with the video. F5-F8 are your standard media controls (rewind, fast forward stop and play). F9 is search F10 is the share button F11 is for devices, F12 is for settings.
    The key between the ALT and CTRL , I can't make out the symbol on it. Same with key next to print screen.
    The 4 keys above the number pad I know the far right one is the sleep mode key. The other 3 I can't make out the symbol.
    Unfortunately because there isn’t much/ very little information on the keyboard it will be a trial and error basis when it comes to checking it. Sorry I wasn’t much help but the graph that I see is very blurry and hard to make out specific symbols on each key.
    Let me know if you have anymore questions.
