Hi Mike,
Review this posted aticle. Do some measuring as the graphics card that you referenced is 11.6" long. You might need to choose a different NVIDIA 760.
I don't foresee an issue. Your PC has a 600 watt power supply. Check to make sure that the PSU in your PC has an 8 pin PCI-E power connector and a 6 pin PCI-E power connector.
If you run into issues then review the below information posted by HP. You will probably need to disable secure boot to get the card to work but after that you should be able to enable that function again.

HP Phoenix Envy 810-160 / Bad motherboard (out of warranty) / What are my options?

Tech support just told me that my motherboard is bad... wants to charge me $299 for fixing that where he will charge me upfront, send a box and ship it to them for repair (all costs included).. he was very anxious to get my money.. so I had to step back..
What are my best options... I live in Atlanta, Georgia area..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Double check your warranty status as your PC has only been on the market for 12.5 months.
Check your warranty status here.
If you purchased your PC with a credit card as many do, then check with your credit card company and see if your PC is covered by an electronics extension warranty.

Upgrading Graphics Card on HP Envy Phoenix 810qe Desktop

So a little while ago I got a new Envy Phoenix 810qe Desktop (the windows 8 version) with the following customizations: 4th gen Intel i7-4790k @4.0 Ghz, 16Gb DDR3-1600Mhz (2 DIMMs), 2 Tb 7200 Rpm SATA Hard Drive, 16 Gb mSATA SSD cache, HP WLAN 802.11 ac 2x2 DB MCard BT WIDI, 15-in-1 Multi-slot Media Card Reader, 6 USB Ports (Front/Top), Audio [Front 4USB2.0, Top 2USB3.0], 4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 745. I want to know if I could put in an Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 graphics card in place of the GTX 745. Reading from this post on the forum (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Upgrade-My-HP-ENVY-Phoenix-810qe-Desktop/td-p/4679014) I know that the computer has a 500w PSU. But in the post it seemed like the person asking the question just had the base computer and hadn't customized it, and I'm left wondering if the customizing I did to my computer has taken up more watts from the PSU. Since I know that the GTX 980 would need all 500 of the watts that my computer has to offer I want to know if my computer might still be able to run this beast of a GPU. Anybody have any ideas? If not I think I can just settle for a Geforce GTX 960 because that only needs 400w of total system power. But I'm not even sure that could work on my current computer either. Any Help???

Hi,
There are many models of the 810 series.
Please post the HP product number for your PC. How to Find the HP Model Number and the HP Product Number or let HP automatically find your PC model number and HP network attached printers. This will allow others to review your issue, make suggestions and review your responses. This is usually the best way to get assistance.
The power draw of the NVIDIA GTX 980 can vary depending on the card. You may need either two eight pin PCI-E power connectors or two six pin PCI-E power connectors and a power supply minimum of 500-600 watts depending on the particular graphics card.

Hi:
There are no video "cards" in today's notebooks. All of the graphics chips (GPU's) are soldered to the motherboard.
A notebook PC is much different than a desktop. You can't just swap out one video adapter for another.
The only other supported motherboard that your notebook could support, is one with the nvidia GT 650 GPU chip on it and the cost of upgrading would not be worth it.
Yes, you can post your second question maybe in the notebook wireless section would be best.
Best Regards,
Paul

WIndows 10 upgrade stops after final upgrade circle at 0% on envy dv6 7245us

The Windows 10 upgrade downloads successfully, goes through various gyrations, then displays the final big upgrade circle at 0% and aborts, then rolls back to Windows 8.1. I have tried all sorts of things from the various forums, including Microsoft's with no luck. Has anyone successfully upgraded the HP Envy dv6 7245us (with AMD A10 processor) model to Windows 10? Or had similar problems? Thanks, noid63

Hello , I understand that you are wondering what the effect of your recovery media will have on your Windows 10 operating system, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Since the recovery media you created is designed for Windows 8.1, as well as the Recovery Parition, a new system recovery in the future will the operating system back to Windows 8.1. Once recovered, you will need to re-install Windows 10. As a recommendation, I would suggest holding off on a Windows 10 update since there are no supported drivers available for your system in Windows 10 at present. This should help to avoid any driver conflicts you may encounter upon upgrading. I hope this helps! Best Regards

Card reader slow after upgrade to 8.1 on ENVY h8-1520z desktop

I have an HP envy H8 – 1520 Z desktop with 8.1 Pro.
After upgrading to 8.1 Pro from 8 Pro my card reader takes a long time to bring up the data on the card from 15 to 25 seconds even if there are only three files on the card. I checked for driver updates on Windows and HP websites and was told I have the latest driver available.
I tried plugging the reader into a different USB connector on the motherboard and it worked great the first time, after starting the computer the next day the problem was right back.
I tried a USB adapter for the SD card and that also worked well but if I leave the adapter in the computer and just remove the card the same thing happens the next day after restarting the computer if I take the adapter out each time it works fine
I thank you for any help you can provide

Hello sam45,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your SD card being slow to be read from after you updated your computer to Windows 8.1.
I am curious have you tried re-formating the SD card on the new OS?
Have you tried other SD cards to see if the issue is consistant? Have you tried a clean profile on your computer? To do this simply make a new profile/user and see if the SD card still takes a while.
Do you have an Anti-Virus running on your computer? If you do try disabling it to see if the issue persists.
If you could provide me with the answers to these questions it would be of great help in finding you a solution. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a wonderful day!

Looking to upgrade graphics card in HP Envy 15 notebook

I use my laptop for gaming mostly and all games are good except i get fps lag when i play certain games. I beleive that it is because I dont have a good graphincs card. Is it possible to change the graphics card on the HP Envy 15 Notebook? If so, what graphics cards are compatible with this laptop?

HP currently doesn't have a True Gaming Laptop and for those you can expect to spend above 1500US to get the gaming requirements needs to play demanding games. That is why you get lags when you play certain games once you go above the specs of the Envy 15 it will not be able to handle such games.

HP Phoenix Envy 810-209 Black Screen Video Card Fail

So about a month ago I purchased this computer mentioned in the title. A week after purchasing it, I had a problem in which while 10 minutes into playing a game my computer screen would go black and kick into power saving mode, the audio from the game would still back available for a short period then would just start to buzz. I did a clean reboot of my computer and reinstalled everything. Again, after another few weeks the exact same problem would occurr. After doing some research I realized that this computer may infact be designed to fail. This PC comes with an Nvidia GeForce 760 video card which requires a minimum 500w power supply to use; however, the PC only comes with a 460 w power supply. Meaning this PC is designed to fail if I'm not mistaken. If anyone has had a similar issue and found a software work around that would be fantastic!
Although, I am under the impression I purchased a doomed PC from the get go.

HP has its video cards made to work with the power supply unit (PSU) installed. Therefore, this should not be a problem. They are not the same as the same series retail card.
What game are you playing? Is it online?

ENVY 810 Phoenix desktop audio no longer working

Earlier this week my audio stopped working. The computer does not seem recognize any speakers or headphones I plug in. I've tried troubleshooting and updating the driver, but nothing seems to work.

If the System Recovery and updated driver didn't fix the problem it may well be a hardware problem. The easiest way to fix this without sending your computer to HP would be a dedicated sound card. You could buy a PCI Express x1 card. I believe you have at least two of these slots on your motherboard. The card in my link is only one example. You have numerous of them to choose. Read the Customer Reviews to see what users have to say about them.

The 300 watt is borderline but is within card specs. The 750Ti (3753) max's at 60 watts. You will need a 6pin power supply.
I changed the Gt 640 in my Envy 810-160 (600W) for a 750Ti with no problems but it did come with a Nvidia card. I put the GT 640 in an e9230f (350 watt) replacing the ATI HD4350.
In both cases all went well and the cards updates direct from Nvidia.

Can HP ENVY 23-d030 be upgraded to i7-3770s

Although according to the specifications, the HP ENVY 23-d003 can't be upgraded to a i7-3770s processor, the HP ENVY 23-d010a uses the same motherboard and is sold with the i7-3770s processor as standard. Since both use the same motherboard, the i7-3770s has the same TDP (65W) as the i5-3330s, and both were released during the same month/year, it would seem that an upgrade is possible.
HP ENVY 23-d030 Specifications
HP ENVY 23-d010a Specifications
The only major difference I see between the two is that the d010a comes with a 180W brick instead of 150W brick to support the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M mini pci express mxm graphics card (33W) that comes standard with the d010a.
If the d030 can be upgraded, what would be even more tempting would be to upgrade to the i7-3770 at 77W with even more processing power (if the i7-3770s works, then the i7-3770 should also work if there is enough available power in the brick). I probably wouldn't spend $300 for the I7-3770s or i7-3770 since the system really isn't a gaming system even if it had the GT 630m graphics card so my interest is primarily curiosity.
Any opinions?

My Book 3.0 (1TB, USB 3.0) detection problem with Envy Phoenix 810-135qe

I have a My Book 3.0 (1TB, USB 3.0)... The older My Book not the newer one... "My Book Essential" or something like that.
I was using it with W7 x64 backup utility on an older HP desktop (HP Pavilion a6560t) without issue up to the day my new HP Envy 810-135qe arrived. I downloaded the latest drivers from WD support, and the thing PnPed fine off the non-powered USB 3.0 on the back of the 810. However, the 810 drops connection after sleep, hibernation, lock, or simply just over time. I've run diagnostics on the WD and the cables, all checked out fine. I tried shutting off power saving to the USB 3.0s in device manager (just a guess), and that seemed to work for a few weeks, however I'm still having the detection issue periodically. All of my drivers are up to date on the HP side. I'm fully reformatting the WD now to see if that might somehow fix the issue (I'll update in a few days on how that worked out).
Anyone have any idea what's amiss? I suspect something with the BIOS. HP chat support has been no help (they go through the same checks I've already done myself) and they got really spooky on another chat when I asked about adding a SSD as the boot drive (I knew it was an issue from here and other forums).... Handed me off to second tier support, and all they would tell me is that they couldn't tell me anything... Basically, no support for any config except for how it was shipped because it's a "custom build" (yes, buyer's regret big time).
Secondly, anyone running a similar config with a en external back up that's running smoothly? My WD is getting old so I was thinking of one of the newer portable USB 3.0 HDDs (both 2.5 and 3.5). My specs follow.

Anglogator, welcome to the forum.
I have the exact computer (See my signature below.). I have installed a Samsung EVO 840 500 GB SSD. It works absolutely great. Samsung SSD's seem to be the only brand that boots without changing any settings in the UEFI Firmware. If you decide to buy one, I will be glad to walk you through the installation process.
I also have a "WD My Book Essentials" 2 GB external hard drive. It works perfectly without making any changes to the BIOS.

Upgrading PC as a whole

Hello everyone!
I am writing this to speak about upgrading my PC, a HP ENVY Phoenix 810-230qe, as a whole. I originally purchased a PC with an FX-8320 and a sad little graphics card back in 2013, and purchased a carepack with it. After the graphics card failed and was replaced three times in a single year, I called HP support and a nice case manager (Thanks Lorraine!) hooked me up with this one - a 4770k, 12GB RAM, and a nice r9 270. However, I am not comfortable with the PC's temperatures under load as there is only one fan for the entire PC and it's blocked by a 92mm Asetek water cooling block for the CPU. Thus, I was looking to upgrade the PC as a whole around my birthday later this year. I planned on keeping the CPU, RAM, GPU, and 2TB HDD, but that left me confused - the PC came with a 16GB mSATA "Cache", and I don't know whether or not the 2TB HDD or the mSATA drive has my Windows OS on it - if the latter holds Windows, I'm going to have some problems. A picture of the two devices can be found here. Besides this, I'm not sure how the CPU is in. I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the CPU was mounted normally or if it was soldered on - the motherboard was made by MSI and the model name is "MS-7826".
If anyone wants to see my upgrade list and/or make suggestions, it can be found here. I hope I can get some advice about the PC as well as some help with my questions!

What you are wanting to do may work. However, anytime you have high-end components in a smaller mid-size case, you are going to have problems with HEAT. You are correct to be concerned. Heat will cause all of the components to fail prematurely. If you try to move the motherboard to another case, you have to assure that the holes in the motherboard match the stand-offs in the case. Also, some of the connectors may not be the same as in a HP case. HP has their motherboards made specifically for them.
