Pavilion Dv9548 graphics card went out need help!

Was told by geek squid at best buy that it possibley comes with an extra slot for a new graphics card if the main went out was hoping someone can give me info about it and if so can post a link for which card ill need

Wrong answer Geek Squid. No, sorry. The video card is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced. The motherboard can be replaced, or the video card can be repaired by a reflow. Geek Squid would have no idea what that is.
The dv9000 series with nVidia video has had massive failure rates. There is no good or reliable fix, just temporary patches. The best advice is to cut your losses and buy a new laptop. Again, sorry.

I think my graphics card went out?

Ok I looked for about an hour and found nothing on this. I just bought a power mac G5 with dual 2.0gig processors and 4 gigs of ram. It has 8 ram slots. I think its early 05. Anyway I used it for about a day I had it plugged in to my monitor which has a vga and a dvi port on it. I had the vga plugged into my g4 but I didnt have a power cable or anything else plugged in it. I dont know why but it was. I had my G5 plugged in the dvi. It worked fine. The next day I decided I want to move the G5 to the other side of the room. I shut the computer down unplugged everything moved it and put it back together, but I didnt plug in the G4 cause Like I said I didnt know it was like that till I saw it. Tried to start it and the screen just says no cable attached. I went and bought a DVI to HDMI to plug it into my flat panel TV and same thing. I noticed when I turned it on it bongs, all the lights are normal, but the fans slowly start speeding up after a few mins. I guess its the AGP card if you know for a fact it is and could recemend a good graphics card that could drive two 20" apple cinema displays for normal use and could drive one monitor with really good graphics for games and stuff that would be great oh and It cant be more than like $200 - 250 if possible.
Thank you!

thanks again japamac. I tried that though. I grounded myself, took the card out reseated it. I even got dust remover and dusted the slot and the card. This really *****.

Mega 180/Media Player/Graphic Card/TV-Out

Hi,
after very long research I decided to use Mega 180 as a dedicated PC for media center purpose and to connect it directly to my TV (Siemens 100 Hz real flat 16:9) and to upgrade my second PC and to connect the two PCs wirelesly and to use Media Portal software.
And then I have started to read related posts and forums. But this time I learned that there are new issues I have to deal with.
1. TV-out: The TV-Out of Mega 180 is not good enough on a TV. My question is do I have to buy another powerful graphic card? I need recommendation. My TV has composite and scart inputs.
2. Media Portal: This software has lack of some features. If I use MCE 2005, will it be better?
3. If I use a video converter, will it help me to find better picture on my TV?
Yes bodies, unfortunately there is no way to find the best solution. And I am at the final stage. If this solution does not run, I will give up. I need your recommendations.

This is copied from another reply I made today. The Mega 180 can drive a TV just fine. But you need to spend alot of time making it work.
How you hook up to your TV depends on your available TV connections and your quality standard. The Mega 180 does have an SVideo output. I don't use this however. I have a VGA input port on my 42 inch plasma monitor. It accepts VGA 640 X 480, 800 x 600, or 1024 X 768 standard computer resolutions. It also accepts 480P or 1080i TV inputs using the VGA port. Many quality TV monitors have a DVI port or component video. These would require some sort of physical adapter to attach to a Mega PC.
So I actually run in 1080i mode most of the time. This makes DVD's and HDTV look really nice. When using the XP computer screen I keep it in 1080i mode but map this to 960 X 540 resolution using PowerStrip. This way I can read the text on the display without it being distorted. However this is pretty low resolution for most web browsers and email programs. So it is kind of cramped... When playing computer games I switch to 1024 X 768 computer mode. The good thing is the on board Nvidia MX440 graphics work just fine to generate all these modes. So I do not have a card in the AGP slot.

Hp Pavilionn 2700t Graphics card

Hi all, I just bought a game for my laptop and aparently the graphics card doesn't support it. I am wondering if I am able to upgrade but I do not know if my laptop has an integrated graphics card. Can anyone help here? The product number is KQ654AV. The graphics card is a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Or is there any other way to increase the speed of my laptop? I am wanting to play Dawn of War 2, but it plays slowly...It doesn't require a great card, but obviously a better one than the one I have is needed for smoother gameplay. Any help would be great.

HP ENVY 700-074 Desktop - what graphics card do I need to install to use a blu ray player?

I purchased an external blu ray player - "LG 14x external blu-ray/dvd writer super multi blue be14". For some reason I thought my system was compatible. However, it's not - apparently the Intel(R) 4600 won't work. What graphics card would I need to install to allow using this blu-ray device? What else do I need to know?

Ah, I should add, the Blu ray player's support site (for Cyberlink) suggested a pile of different drivers - 30 or 40, but didn't offer any specifics regarding my particular system. What I really need to know is what would be the best option for my particular system.

HP Pavilion A6603W Graphics card upgrading help.

Current Graphics card:
GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i (integrated into motherboard as a chip)
Power supply#: ATX-250-12Z-REV-D7R (250 Watts I believe?)
Computer Model: ( HP Pavilion A6603W)
Problem: Trying to figure out which is the best graphics card to upgrade with to keep up to date with the current games, such as : Battlefield, bad company 2, Just cause 2, Amnesia: Dark descent.
Now as for the power supply, I am sure Ill need to upgrade that as well. But I found a pretty reasonable one online at fry's electronics:
http://www.frys.com/product/5503410
But as for the graphics card, I am completely lost here at what I kind I can buy and not buy. most of my games require to have at least DirectX10 or higher, which my graphics card only supports DirectX 9. I have also seen that some graphics cards require power slots? I am completely new to this and I would like to have support from users.
Oh and by the way, the minimum I can spend is 250$
any suggestions?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
This question was solved.

Salko, to play the games that you mention, you will need a good mid-level video card. I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. The main thing to check is the length of the card. The newer cards that are 10" or longer may not fit in the space provided. With a PSU that is at least 500W, you have allot of choices.
The Antec PSU should be fine. However, I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's for superior clean, stable power. They are both enthusiast/gamer PSU manufacturers. Check Newegg for a PSU that has allot of reviews (read them) and is rated at least 4 eggs. This is a good indicator of the quality of the product from those who are using it.

Which Graphics Card do I need for H520S

I have a few questions for you lovely people out there and hope you can help.
My son has asked me for a new Graphics card for his PC.(Not a xmas present)
On an old post it was suggested that an Nvidia Geforce GT620 1Gb or an AMD Radeon HD7570 2Gb were the ones to go for. Is this still the case or are there newer/ better cards available.
I have a reasonable budget of £100 ($160)
If these are the cards to upgrade his PC with, will I need to upgrade the PSU? If so what unit do you suggest.
I would need the graphics card and PSU combined to be near my budget.
Lastly, Is it easy to install the graphics card and PSU (If needed) myself or would I need specialist help.
Hoping you can help
Happy Christmas

so i now need a new graphics card so i only have to use the new Mac mini port connecting cable, but which card to buy and should i remove the older card.
Replacing the graphics card will do nothing to help you unless your current card doesn't have a dual link DVI port (most all 2 DVI port G5 cards do have at least one dual link DVI port).
There are NO graphics cards that will work in the G5 that have mini display port.
I don't want to use multi cable connections
Using a dual link DVI port from a G5 graphics card, connection to the iMac via the Atlona adapter is the only way to achieve use of the iMac as a monitor with a G5.

Which graphics card do I need?

I'm ready to buy a 3GHz Mac Pro, but am confused as to whether the default 7300 graphics card is enough for my purposes, or if I need to spend more for the X1900.
First off...I never play games on my Mac, and have no desire to ever run Windows on it either...hopefully that will simplify things
Here is what I do have and use:
- a single 30" cinema display
- will be installing 8gb of memory in the Pro
- use Photoshop heavily...including extrememly large files from scanned large format film
- only real video-intensive thing I do is watching the occasional DVD movie
- do a lot of work with large audio files
- general web surfing and iLife application useage
...does anything on that list scream out for an X1900, or will I be just fine with the default 7300? I'm quickly reaching the limit on my budget for this, and it would be real nice to not have to worry about this upgrade. Appreciate any advice!
I had been planning on holding off on this til Adobe releases CS3, but I got to play around with CS2 on another Pro recently, and I think it will be plenty fast enough for now.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I had the 7300 card and upgraded to an X1900. I only notice the difference playing games (especially in Windows), or using Motion or Second Life. The speed difference in 3D apps compared to the 7300 is basically extraordinary. I had no idea video cards went that fast!
In every other non-3D app (or limited 3D app, like FCP, the OS, etc.) the 7300 is more than fine.
I have played with both configurations, so I say this from experience.
All of that said, I heavily question the 3 GHz model where money is limited. Here's why:
I had the 3GHZ model and now have the 2.66.
The 13% speed difference is not really noticable, even in intensive work like FCP. The 2.66 is still incredibly fast. I'd advise only the 3.0 where "time is money", literally.
I saved over $1000 by returning my defective 3.0 model [bad hard drive bays] and upgrading a 2.66 model with my own RAM, drives, etc. $1000! For no noticable real-world speed decline, and a marginal at best decline on benchmarks.
That money I saved I was able to add AppleCare, additional HD, upgrade the RAM and/or video card. I saved a LOT of money.
I'd put all that money to RAM if I was in your shoes... I have 4GB now and it makes a huge difference over even 2GB.

Hp pavilion 1170uk graphics card compatability

I have a HP Pavilion 1170uk and have tried upgrading graphics card to a Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX770 4GB.
When I start the computer it stops at hp boot screen and says press esc to enter startup menu and beeps about every 10-15 seconds.
I have put in a new 700w psu to run the card and when I put the original graphics card that came with the computer it starts up fine with this psu.
This sounds like a bios problem and I have the latest bios from the hp website installed on machine.
Is there a new bios coming out or can I get one from anywhere to run this graphics card or do I have to upgrade the motherboard aswell ?

LeonaL, welcome to the forum.
There are two things to consider when upgrading to a dedicated video card: 1) the wattage required tto run it properly as you mentioned and 2) the length of the card.
You could easily get by with a 600W to 650W Corsair PSU. Corsair makes enthu siast quality PSU's for reasonable prices.
To assure that the card will fit, you can make a template the size of the card and try in the space provided. Add one inch for any additional power connectors on the card. It should fit with room for good airflow.
The reason for a video card not working in a computer is they require UEFI Firmware in the motherboard, instead of a standard BIOS.
EVGA video cards before the GT 650 don't require UEFI. You can call each manufacturer's Tech Support to asure that it will work in your computer.

Graphics card is dead! Help with replacement please!

Hi,
I've just been given a Dual core G5 powermac (2.0ghz) model. It works fine with the exception of the graphics card. Previous owner took it to an apple store for testing and they said he would need a new card.
I've got an apple display with the ADC plug.
Can someone please advise me on a suitable replacement please? I guess my options are a card with an ADC plug or and adaptor and a standard DVI card?
I find it all a bit confusing! Most of my work is music related so I don't need a high end card. I really just want a cheap solution to get this machine back up and running!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bradley

My graphic card failed and developed strange barcode type lines that flickered intermittently - getting worse the longer the computer was on. The flickering changed when the cable to the graphics card was "jiggled" / moved around. It turned out to be a problem with the ATI Radeon 9800 graphic card that came installed with the G5. There was nothing obviously wrong with the card the fan was fully operational.
This is how I fixed it:
1. Ran a Apple Hardware Diagnostic check from the Startup disk - hold down the Options key, Select Hardware Diagnostic and then select Extended. This confirmed that it was the Graphics board (Video (RAM)) and not the Logic board (contrary to the view of Apple and TechServe - both of whom wanted me to bring the G5 in for their diagnostic ... $150 +)
2. Purchased the new board (I got it from B&H Photo):
http://ati.amd.com/products/Radeon9600/Radeon9600propcmac/index.html
3. Installed the new board - 5 minutes total: remove one screw - carefully remove cooked 9800 board - install new board - replace screw.
4. Install new 9600 software (which the manufacturers suggest you do first) - it automatically overwrites the necessary 9800 files.
5. Purchase and connect the Apple ADC-to-DVI converter - used to connect the new board to my Apple Cinema Display 23".
6. Reboot
I hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.
Best

What hard drive capacity is required or recommended? I am not a techie but would like to be able to purchase something that will get the job done. I shall be scanning many slides, negs and photos. Thanks

Pavilion dv7 graphic card

i know that some notebooks can change their graphic cards and some are not.
Is my laptop able to change graphic card?
pavilion dv7
and it has graphic card of intel hd graphics family

Hi:
You would need to replace the entire motherboard to upgrade a graphics card in a dv7.
Certainly not worth the cost or labor.

Is my graphics card burned out?

I have a 15 inch aluminum unibody macbook pro
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB (switchable graphics)
I run boot camp regularly to play video games on windows 7.
I was playing a video game on mac today and it kept crashing my computer, so I loaded up bootcamp to play another game and the following happened to me a few times: http://imgur.com/a/FLqf7#0
I haven't played any graphic intensive game on the mac since then, but everything is fine and nothing messes up when I'm watching videos, music, etc.
On boot camp, i think it's running the video card the whole time? not quite sure, but I guess the main question is if my graphics card is burned out?
Any help or advice is very much appreciated!
Thanks,
dizzyxmoron

All in all, at least you got a definitive resolution. If you have a suitable backup, the only annoyance will be that of time spent.
Rereading your first post, I understand that the system was booting up. Maybe do a clone on an external drive before turning the old drive in? Then install afresh with a new Lion instance and migrate all back in, either with Setup Assistant at first start or Migration Assistant afterwards.

What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

I have a early 2008 Mac Pro. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now. What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.
- http://www.barefeats.com
So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

27" iMac graphics card, do I need the upgrade?

I'm intending to purchase my first iMac, which I hope to use for recording and editing video gameplay via a PS3, and in some cases games played on the iMac as well. Most games I'll be playing aren't going to be triple-A games, so I'm not sure if I need to invest in the more powerful graphics card (about 70% of the games will be via PS3 anyway), so is the additional cost really worth it? Same question goes for the processor, I was planning to upgrade to the 3.4 GHz i7, but is this really going to pay off over the course of my computer's lifespan?

I can't quite buy into throwing down the extra $140.
Depends on the App & the future, but how may hours a year doing video editing would it take to amortize $140?
Not the iMac model, but...
