TouchSmart 520-1050

First off I just received my new TouchSmart 520-1050 a couple days ago and overall am extremely satisfied with it. The screen resolution, clarity and brightness is outstanding.
The issue I have checking the system performance is that I have a rating of 4.6 which is due to the graphics card.
So my question is can I upgrade the card and if so where is it.
And at the same time would upgrade the 6GB RAM to 8GB RAM which it should have come with anyway and where would that also be locared in the system.
This question was solved.

I would not install the Intel drivers, I would stick wiht HP's and you're not going to see much of a difference since the Intel graphics are very average in their performance levels.

Hard Drive for Touchsmart 520-1050

Hello,
I am currently looking to replace the internal hard drive in my touchsmart 520-1050. However, I am having trouble with locating the size this computer needs. Meaning the physical (in inches) size. If anyone has any idea, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks

SKD1983, welcome to the forum.
Here is a guide that will help you access the hard drive. Read it carefully and watch the video before buying the hard drive. You can measure the drive once you get to it. It will be either 2.5" or 3.5". I could not find the exact size anywhere, but measuring is the safest way to make the determination. You should buy one that is at least 1 TB to be able to use the System Recovery media.

Mounting a Touchsmart 520-1050... under a kitchen cabinet...

Has anyone mounted a Touchsmart 520-1050 under a kitchen cabinet?
I have watched the video on how to wall mount one so please do not push me there...
I do have a wall mount (articulating arm) that I purchased from work and am just wondering how I can then mount that under my cabinet so it can swing in, out, and side to side.
I am uncertain if a 2x4 would withstand the constant (at least a few times a day) moving in and out. I am worried that it would break and my wife doesn't want me to mount it to the back splash because she thinks it would look tacky (she likes the tile).
So I figured that I would come here and see if anyone has already done it.
Thanks!

Here is the HP Wall-Mounting your HP TouchSmart User Guide for your computer. According to the user guide, you will need a VESA wal-mount with a 100mm by 100mm mounting pattern to attach to the TouchSmart computer. You will attach the wall-mount to the wall using the included instructions and supplied screws/anchors/etc. Since you are going to attach the wall-mount to a stud in a wall, you will use wood screws (about 3" long) that fit through the 2 or 3 mounting holes in the mount. Using an electronic stud finder, locate and mark both edges of the stud, then draw a line in the center of the two marks. Predrill holes in the stud just shy of the screw shank size. Now, mount the VESA mount to the wall, then mount the TouchSmart to the mount.
The stud in the wall will have no trouble holding up to the weight of the computer and any movement that may occur. I have mounted 27"+ tube TVs weighing 75 - 100 pounds to a stud wall without issue.

Touchsmart 520-1050 graphics card question

Hello, I was told that graphics could be upgraded only with compatible MXM 3.0 >35watts module. would ATI Radeon™ E4690 MXM V3.0 Module possibly be compatible considering it is mxm 3.0
Thermal Design Power7 (TDP) up to 25w?
PCI expansion
2 SO-DIMM (occupied); 1 MXM Graphics Module PCI Express slot (available); 2 PCI-Ex1 mini socket slots (occupied)

Normally the graphics is provided by the integrated Intel HD 2000 graphics chip. The MXM 3.0 module must be <35 watts, not >35 watts as you posted. that was probably a typo.
The ATI Radeon™ E4690 MXM V3.0 Type A Module should work without issues. The type B version is 75 watts and will not work in your PC. From the specs I was able to find, the MXM type A TDP is 25 watts and that is within the specs your TouchSmart PC requires for its MXM 3.0 slot.

Touchsmart 520-1050, keyboard-displays not showing

Upon turning on my 3-day-old computer this morning and doing simple tasks like adjusting the volume of music from my keyboard, I noticed that the box indicating the volume no longer pops up.
In the past (again, 3 days old), a box would come up with a volume bar, showing me which number between 0-whatever the volume was set to. Now when I adjust the volume the same way, that doesn't happen.
I also cannot adjust the screen brightness from my keyboard either.
The CAPS lock and NUM lock indicator also fails to display.

FireWire on 520-1050?

Where is the FireWire port on this 520-1050? Read that it had FireWire, but now cannot locate?! Read this was part of package, but now that I want to connect my Sony DV camera I cannot locate... If not included, can IEEE 1394 be added??

Help... Video was one of my requirements of a new machine!

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1050 Desktop Computer. According to the specs;
Expansion Slots:
Two PCI Express mini card sockets (Generation 2 speed)
One PCI Express MXM slot that supports a PCI Express x16 graphics card (Generation 2 speed)
The two PCIe minicard sockets are occupied by the 802.11 b/g/n wireles / BT card and the AVerMedia NTSC/ATSC A327 card. This leaves no empty sockets to install other cards. The TouchSmart / AIO(all-in-one) type of computers share more with laptops than desktops. They aren't really meant to be upgraded.
Bob wrote... "shows 2x PCIe x1 MiniCard sockets. (so it that 2x PCIe and 1x MiniCard??)"
No, it means 2 X PCIe x1 Minicard sockets... that is there are two PCIe minicard sockets each with a lane width of 1.

TouchSmart 600-1050 - Graphics Problem with MS Outlook

I have a TouchSmart 600-1050. When I open MS Outlook, and then open the Calendar in a separate window, the window opens as non-maximized and everything is fine. When I maximize the window (I start in Week view), the tasks below each day do not stretch to fit their now wider column. It's as if the graphics don't recalculate for that screen element. Once I am maximized and see the problem, I have to switch to another view (e.g. Month or Day) and back to Week and it will fix itself. Feels like a graphics problem, underpowered chipset or bug in driver (?).
This was not a problem on my HP Desktop I had before, and it is not a problem on my 3 year old Lenovo ThinkPad X60. All are running W7 and using Office 2007.
Any ideas? The graphics driver is up to date according to HP Update and Device Manager.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I tried both of your suggestions and the issue occurred in both. I've never noticed the sub-content not maximizing properly in other apps, but haven't tested thoroughly.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
- Should I checked a different way to see if I have the latest drivers?
- Is there any way for me to upgrade my 600-1050 with the graphics card in the 600-1055? The 1050's "Mobile PCI Express Module" is open/available. Could I buy the nVidia GeForce GT 230 that comes with the 1055 and hook that up?
Only reason I suggest this is that the graphics seem sluggish to update at times.
Thanks.

Hello cmeryers76:
Your password should be the same one you use to log into windows. Why you are seeing a date is be yound me. This seems more like a bad virus or malware. If your sign in password still fails. Unplug the computer while this screen is still being displayed. This is what we call fource restart. Ounce the computer is completely off plug it back in and turn on your computer you should start up in safe mode screen option use arrow keys select safe mode with net working. Close out help and support window. Locate the the recovery manger and Click yes in prompt window if displays then select Microsoft System Restore in next two screens click on next You well eventually end up with dates listed choose a date before this event occurred then click next follow all command promts. Ounce recovery point has been completed run your antivirus software. Then do a PC Tune Up. Go to your control pannel and open up Performance Information and Tools select Adjust power settings on the right hand side. Then select Choose when to off the display. Next window switch all boxes to never. You will never have to worry about this ever again. On top of that the issues you face trying to wake up the computer from sleep mode.
If the same screen displays on start up by a chance then unplug the computer hold down power button for five secounds then plug it back in turn on computer tap f-8 key follow above recovery steps. If this fails to open in safe mode. Then full recovery is only option requires recover discs. Power off the computer turn it on and tap f-10 key and insert disc one of recovery disc follow all command prompts. Ouce fullrecover is completed follow the above dirrections for the display settings above switch all thee settings to never. frrw

TouchSmart 520 Windows 7 Home premium Problems after critical updates

After my TouchSmart 520 auto ran critical updates on 13 Feb 2013,I cannot connect to Internet at all.It was still able to connect to my home wireless network.
I did a systerm recovery, to restore up to just before the critical updates on 13 Feb, then it's able to connect to internet. After that, it auto ran critical updates 2 times, and the same problem started.I have done the system recovery again and now turn off the downloading and installation of critical updates completely, but this should not be long term solution.
Has anyone encounter same problem or is able to help me on this? What else do I need to do?
Appreicate any help.TIA!

Hello sgcosimo,
You’re not able to connect to the internet after updates have run. I’ve had that happen before and usually Microsoft will send out an update that fixes the problem a few days later.
You can try to run the updates again to see if you still get the error.
If you’re still not able to get online, go into device manger and uninstall the Wi-Fi adapter and restart the computer.
Here is a link to uninstall the adapter.
Let me know if this helps.

Can I connect an external monitor on an HP Touchsmart 520 PC, using an HDMI to USB converter?

I am attempting to connect a second monitor to my HP Touchsmart 520 all in one deskop PC, which does not have a VGA or HDMI port. The monitor has an HDMI cable, to which I have connected an HDMI to USB adaptor and connected to one of the USB3.0 ports. The monitor is not getting a signal. Does anyone know of a solution?

This article will walk you through the process.

Can I add a second monitor to a TouchSmart 520-1070? Can it be done through a USB port with a USB to DVI converter?

To connect your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 desktop computer to a second monitor or a TV, you will need to purchase a USB-to-video adapter. I recommend the eVGA UV Plus+ 19 USB-to-Video Adapter, however many of these other USB-to-video adapters should also work.
FYI... with a touch screen, you can only "clone" the desktop... trying to "extend" the desktop may cause problems using the computer.
