Hello,
I upgraded my HP Pavilion 500-267c windows 7 home premium 64 bit to windows 7 professional 32 bit. I require all the basic drivers. I couldn't find it anywhere for HP pavilion 500-267c windows 7 prof 32 bits. Please help!!!

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.

2. Graphics driver.

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).

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.

Upgrading graphics card for Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC

I am looking to upgrade the graphics card in my HP Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC. I was looking around and saw some forums that said it would be very difficult to do so with this PC and I have found a few that said it is absolutly possible. Unforunatly none of those forum posts were from this site except one that did not give much explanation, so I figured I would just ask.
The graphics card that comes with this PC is decent enough to run most current games, just not at the level I would prefer. I am not looking for the most cutting edge ultra mega super gamer graphics card, just something this PC can handle that would be an upgrade with 2GB dedicated vram.
Thank you in advance for any help you guys can give me!
PS This will be my first upgrade I have ever done on a PC myself outside of the ram on this same PC, so please try to keep that in mind with any explanation/answer .

Your system has UEFI BIOS, so you'll need to understand Secure Boot. Then read this to change settings. For gaming, I would go here, and do the "Can I Run It" quiz. Would recommend a Corsair 600W PSU.

HP Pavilion 500-424 Graphics cards options

I recently bought a HP Pavilion 500-424 and was interested in upgrading the graphics card for gaming purposes and wanted to know which graphics cards are compatible before I purchase a graphics card that doesnt fit or is not able to be used with my computer.

Hi,
No, nothing is compatible because
(a) No video card, it is AMD graphics (combined with the processor),
(b) Processor socket: None (processor is soldered to the motherboard)
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04453602
That means if you wish to upgrade video "card" you have to upgrade CPU and if you wish to upgrade CPU you have to upgrade motherboard ===> buy a new machine.

Hi,
Be sure to apply the latest post BIOS update for your PC. Boot into Computer Setup by tapping the ESC key at power on then select F10. Go to the Secure topics and Security configuration and disable Secure Boot and enable legacy mode and save the changes. Reboot and apply the BIOS update.

HP Pavilion 500-164 | What GPU should i get? |

I am not the smartest when it comes to Upgrading a Computer. Recently i got my self a HP Pavilion 500 - 194
HP Pavilion 500-164
So I wanted to upgrade my G-Card without upgrading my Power Supply and Mother Board
I Play games like Garry's Mod and Team fortress 2 , which i can max out but as Gaming progress my PC cant handle it.
I was wondering if anyone would recommend any GPU's that would work with my Computer.It would be also grateful if anyone would tell me problems i will get when inserting my GPU in (if there is any) . Thank you and enjoy the rest of your day

Breezy, welcome to the forum.
Here is a guide that you should read carefully before buying a discrete video card. Your computer has the UEFI BIOS with Secure Boot. All of EVGA and XFX 7000 series cards require the UEFI BIOS. I am not certain about the other manufacturers. You would have to contact their Tech Support for this information.
Now, to find a discrete video card that will work with the existing power supply unit (PSU) is nearly impossible. They would not be much better, if any, than the integrated video. Most mid-level cards require a minimum of 400W to operate properly. Here is a good example. Read the section titled "Specifications". I have seen one MSI card that says it requires a 300W or larger PSU. You have to be aware of the length of the card, also. If you are in doubt if a card will fit into the space provided, you can make a template the size of the card. You should add at least one inch for any additional power connectors.

I live in Kentucky.....BUT when I search something or go online to shop it pulls up all of the Stores in Saint Marys Pa. or Dubois Pa. even the Weather ( IF I do not put in my Zipcode or put in my Town to Change it.....It comes up Saint Marys Pa. or Dubois Pa. or the Next Largest City in Pa. Close to those two. ) I know when I purchased this System about 5 to 6 Months ago I know I put in all of the Correct info. ( Where I live etc. Zipcode etc. ) How can I go into the Computer to check and see IF my Info. is Correct or is still the same. ( Someone this day and age could Hacked into it or is using it as a so to speak what we read of before as a Super Computer etc. Linked with other Computers etc. I hope not but you cannot rule anything out anymore.) IF this cannot be done I was going to use the Recovery ? Restore Option but it only wants to go back a day or two maybe a few at the most. Or IF you choose the other option maybe 2 to 3 weeks at the most. What screen or button does a person hit repeatedly when the computer comes up to wipe it back to Factory Conditions like you just purchased it and are setting it up for the first time entering your info into it. IF this cannot be checked or change in Simpler Terms.

HP Pavilion 500-336 Desktop PC not recognizing NVidia GeForce GT610 graphics card

I recently purchased a HP Pavilion 500-336 Desktop PC and I already had a EVGA NVDIA GeForce GT610 graphics card. When I try and install the graphicas card, I get the 6 beeps. So, I googled the problem and somebody had suggested to disable hyperthreading in the BIOS and go to legacy mode from UEFI mode which I did as well.
However, my monitor still doesn't turn on and goes to power saving mode. Please help. The customer service rep said the power supply needs to be upgraded, but I don't think this is true. This graphics card is not that power hungry.
Here are the specifications of my desktop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c04345595
And here are the specifications of my video card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications
Thanks in advance.

Hi:
You do not disable hyperthreading in the BIOS. I recommend you go back and enable that setting.
Please see this document for what settings you need to change in the BIOS when you install a non-HP video card...

Looking to replace keyboard for Pavilion 500

I recently purchased a Pavilion 500-164 PC and I hate, hate, hate the keyboard. Where can I find a list of compatible keyboards for this desktop so I can upgrade?

Hi,
Logitech has many good keyboards, mice and combo wireless mouse/keyboard. They are compatible with all desktops and laptops. I bought 3 sets of wirless combo mouse-keyboard and the battery can "live" for 3 years (mine are 2 years so far). They have many but I bought the following set

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.

USB 3.0 Upgrade for HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

Is it possible to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv9700 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC to USB 3.0? I've been searching the website and google and haven't found any concrete answers just yet. I'd rather not have to buy a new laptop just to get USB 3.0. It's been the most reliable pc I've ever had and I don't wantn to replace it!
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,
You have to buy a new laptop or swap the system/motherboard or buy an Express card - USB 3 (I've got one) or PC card - USB 3. For desktop , this is much simpler, a PCI - USB 3 card will do.
