Upgrading my HP Pavilion h8-1170uk with a GeForce GTX 750 Ti

Hi there,
I have reached whits end here, I am looking to upgrade my GeForce GT 545 with a GeForce GTX 750 ti on my HP Pavilion h8-1170uk. I have emailed your support asking for advice and have been told to phone your number although I have explained twice I am deaf.
I asked extremely helpful customer services at NVIDIA who told me my computer would definitely be able to handle the GeForce GTX 750 ti and I even asked on amazon before buying as I really was not sure.
After getting yes all around (apart from HP who just won't get back to me) I bought the card attempted to install it only to find that it needs a double slot at the back of the pc. I had looked at my PC and had thought it had at least four slots (Photos uploaded) as it had 4 areas it seems at the back, one with the original graphics card in and 3 more with metal covers.
After uninstalling the old drivers and attempting to put the graphics card in I found that only two of the four slots seemed to open and those two were not even next to each other, which means that I can not fit the GTX 750 ti inside my computer
even looking at my photos it looks like they should open but they seem to be attached to the rest of the frame. I realised this when the 3rd slot up come out as I expected the other two to come out but honestly they are just welded in! The shinier metal strips that you see over them do come off but to no avail.
I have to admit I am at the end of my teather and really fearing I have made a huge mistake in buying the wrong card. The slots that do not seem to open have what appears to be a screw driver symbol on the back of them which I must of assumed meant you could get them off with a screw driver. I now guess the screw drive symbol means you can not get them off with a screwdriver? whcih just does not seem right at all.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!
Regards

Hi,
Your first issue is that most NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards will not work in your PC. MSI does have a couple of models of the GTX 750 graphics card that may work.
Most if not all graphics cards that I have worked with are designed to fit around the the back slot separator I/O vertical strip. Review this posted article for the view of a double wide graphics card. The slotted plate in the middle is easily removed by inserting a flat bladed screwed and wiggling it back and worth until the removable plate becomes loose enough where you can use a pliers to finish the remove process. The shield is designed to "break off".

Update your graphics driver or use an older version that does not use CUDA 6.0 and uses 5.0 so PS can detect it properly...

Compatibility Issue with the GeForce GTX 750 ti

I just bought and received a new 750 ti to upgrade my old HP pavillion p7-1120. After I had put it in, making sure it was in all the way, I turned it on and was greeted by the six orange flashes denoting a graphics card error. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks.

Hi,
Your PC needs a version 8 BIOS which is not available (not posted) for your model PC.
Try one of the below model NVIDIA GTX 750s as they operate in either Legacy mode and UEFI mode.

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.

Hi Ken,
Look aon the top back of the graphics card for a switch. See the below image.
You should have received a pamphlet in the box describing the use of the switch (legacy mode or UEFI mode). If your PC has a version 8 HP BIOS then disable secure boot if set. If your PC is not at a version 8 BIOS level then the switch should be in legacy position. The pamphlet should describe the use of the switch.

Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

This laptop I am on right vnow has a n nVidai GTX 765M and it works beautifully on Premiere CS6, CC and CC 2014. You do have to add it to the Adobe file "cuda_supported_cards.txt file or simp[ly delete it. I hope you know that you have to be plugged in to the AC line to successfully what to edit with a laptop. Also you can improve the GPU performance if you reset the memory clock on the GPU to 1500 MHz from the default 1000 MHz. It is because nVidia.slows down the clock to conserve battery. If you register on the site you can see my results on our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) site.

Can i upgrade an hp pavilion ze4900 laptop with an ssd?

The hard drive is failing in an hp pavilion ze4907wm (ze4900 sold thru walmart).
Are there any special considerations for replacing the hard drive (capacity limits etc)?
Can I put an PATA SSD in it?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If you can find a PATA SSD then probably. You'll need to make sure that the jumper is manually set to Master. There also might be compatibility issues.
Overall, I'd recommend just replacing it with a regular PATA HDD ... There is less of a chance of an issue.

Replace GT520 to ZOTAC Geforce gtx 750 ti on HP Pavilion H8-1111, System won't boot

Hi I just got one HP desktop from my friend. And I want to try some upgrade with this desktop, I bought a new 500w PSU and a ZOTAC GTX 750ti GPU. After I install all of them, the system seems just freeze at the hp "welcome page". It say push ESC to get setup menu, but I have tried it and it would not work. At 30 sec with 3 beeps coming up the screen turned to black. Any solutions?

Hello @zzero000,
I understand that your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1111 Desktop PC is giving you 3 beeps and not starting up after installing a new power supply and graphics card. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1111 Desktop PC Product Specifications page your computer has the Chicago Motherboard which has an American Megatrends BIOS. Now according to the HP Support document: BIOS Beep Codes, the 3 beep codes mean you have a memory read or write failure. I would recommend you check the memory modules (RAM) on your computer. Try re-seating the modules and if that fails removing them one at a time until you identify what is causing the issue.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

New graphic card Geforce gtx 750 ti failing on Hp pavilion H8-1010be

Hello
So i Got a new gigabyte GV-N75TOC graphic card for my Hp pavilion h8 1010-be. When I boot it up i get the intro blue screen and that's it. i hear a single beep, another after a while and then a series of short beeps and a black screen. The fans are running of my graphic card, I did plug it in. When i reboot with old graphic card all works, so didn't pull anything out by accident. The power is also higher on my pc then needed for the graphic card so this should be fine. I did try uninstalling current graphic card drivers first but this didn't help. It actualy sounds exactly like this http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Problem-installing-a-new-Video-Card-on-HP-Pavilion-HPE...
I was wondering if you could provide me with anymore direct help then talk to producer, which i have sent a tickit to aswell.

Hi,
You probably are using the MSI 750 that is not compatible with your PC.
Try this model MIS NVIDIA 750 and then review this thread.

The video card Asus GeForce GTX 650 and GeForce GTX 750 are compatible with After Effects CC? An apology for my English.

I will buy one of the two, but I urge confirm if any of them will help me with Newest After Effects CC. Thank you very much.

This page lists the technical specifications for After Effects.
After Effects doesn't really use the GPU for much besides the obsolete ray-traced renderer (see here), so either one should be fine. Some third-party effects, such as Element 3d from VideoCopilot, make use of the GPU, but their requirements are different from AE's and if you plan to use them, you should check their requirements before you purchase.

Can apple release macbook pro with nvidia Geforce GTX 760

can you please add macbook pro a nvidia GTX 760 graphics card

No, we can't. We are users just like yourself
Seeing as how the nvidia GTX 760 is a graphics card for the PCIe bus structure which the MBP does not have, I think you chances of getting Apple to do that are right up there with the snowball in you know where.

MSI GT70-2OC with NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770m: performance issues

I've setup some games on my gaming laptop and I'm seeing lower frame rates with various games (30-50), and there is a "line" in the 3D graphics (I'm assuming that has something to do with the refresh rate). Any idea as to what might be causing this issue? Any ideas on how I can boost the performance of my GTX 770m?
thanks,

It was suggested to me by a family member that it may be a hardware issue, hence the consideration for sending it in.

To me it sounds like a hardware issue (especially if you have rolled back to factory default and reinstalled from scratch)
It wouldn't be a hardware issue since you can play other games without problem.
Easiest way to tell if it's a hardware issue or not is to run the benchmark tool for example 3DMark 11 and see if the problem also happens during the benchmark.
For the rendering problem you were talking, please provide not only the problem picture but also the picture without problem to let us make the comparison.
I'm sorry to say, but some of the picture I'm not really getting what the problem you're talking about.

Visualization problems with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470

I've been suffering of this problem for a long time, since I switched to Photoshop CC and it happens with every NVDIA driver I installed.
When I open a photo and zoom in and out a few times, drag it, arrange two photos like in the picture, I get those red stripes and eventually PS crashes.
If I disable use graphical GPU in the prefences the problem disappears.

I just checked that for my manufacturer (Point Of View) and gpu model, I've got the last BIOS update installed. I'm pretty sure the card is installed properly and doesn't overheat. I'll try to contact NVIDIA, too.

Upgrading Graphic Card (GTX 750 Ti Gaming OC Edition 2048MB) in HP Pavilion p6-2083sc Desktop PC

Hello, This is my computer before upgrading / out of the box Link to specs I bought new graphic card (GTX 750 Ti Gaming OC Edition 2048MB) today. With that I also bought new power supply (Corsair CX600M). I installed them and tried to boot my computer. My computer won't go very far. It shows me the HP starting screen. Then my computer "beeps" one time, then another and then third time. Then I got black screen with blinking underscore. I'm not able to enter bios at that point either, because the computer won't response to my keyboard. No matter what I press nothing happens. I tried to reset motherboard's CMOS (upluggin battery and then putting it back) but it had no effects. I don't know what to do, but the problem is definetaly with the GPU somehow. I changed the old GPU back and left new power supply in place and my computer works well with that setup. Some people from the internet claims that HP might have somehow locked the motherboard so that I'm not able to upgrade my GPU. Is that true or is there something else I need to do? Thank you in advance Best regerdsKivikall

Hello,Firstly, the GTX 750ti officially requires no 6-pin power connector, with a peak power consumption of just 60 watts. (PCI lane can provide 75watts max). reference:http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750-ti/specifications I have exactly the same problem as you, except with a different video card. The problem is with the new 700 series from nvidia. They only work on motherboards which support UEFI, which is a new type of BIOS, but unfortunately do not support the traditional BIOS. The only way (to the best of my knowledge) is to update your BIOS. However, I checked your system on HP drivers, and unfortunately the are no BIOS updates which would upgrade to UEFI support, which is exactly my situation. The only other solution to buy an equivalent graphics from the 600 series, which supports traditional BIOS. I would recommend this: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX650E2GD5/ If you do choose to get the GTX 650, make sure you specifically get this one, as its the only card which would work with your power supply. Any others would use too much power for your computer to handle. I really think that Nvidia should issue a notice to warn people with older PCs not to buy the new series of cards, as my new card costed quite a lot and didn't work in the end. I am now looking to get the same card which I recommended to you. Best regards

MSI P45 Neo-F, GeForce GTX 260 graphic card upgrade (Install resolved)

Greetings,
We recently built up starting from an MSI P45-F motherboard and running an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor on XP (we did not choose XP-64 waiting on Windows 7).
We are attempting to upgrade the graphic card to the PCI express with a GeForce GTX 260 and are encountering a driver download error from Nvidia.
Problem/Issue: While driver software is downloading, mid-way the screen goes black/blank and a single underscore cursor appears (remains indefinitely).
We believed it could be a power supply issue as we are running an OCZ tech 600W stealth stream (we are certain there is sufficient amp), but clearly we must disable or uninstall the on-board graphic card (which may be causing a drain?). We are looking under the Device Manager and unable to identify which is the actual on-board graphics in order to disable.
I have attempted to contact MSI directly; however there is a communication problem on my part since I have no idea what I'm doing ($40 bucks to have the card professionally installed is looking like a bargain right now, but think of the fun I will have with the Crysis expansion set on ULTRA).
One side bar question, not important: I'm running 4 GHz RAM, but only 3.205 is appearing? what is the missing RAM being allocated to at idle (is that to the graphics?)?
Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Jay

Greetings,
Well - initially the lock up would occur when we started running the Nvidia driver download software. After booting and performing a system restore (the normal OS load locked up, so we had no choice but to back date). We then downloaded the driver from Nvidia on to a disk from another computer and started up the upgrading computer in safemode and inserted the disk, same error occurred - halfway through the install download the screen goes blank and stays with under score cursor 20+mins.
We called Nvida and they claimed there may be may be driver conflict, so we removed all the drivers (with a driver sweep software-we wiped out allllll of the drivers, no problem) and loaded all drivers fresh and brand new.
Still same error occurred; We attempted to load the nvidia driver from the website -
Carefully confirming that
1.) we have sufficient amps (we calculated 46amps) to cover our build up.
*EDIT: IT WAS ACTUALLY 18amps (ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CALCULATIONS)
2.) we also confirmed the motherboard has the correct slot and we correctly connected the correct (2) power cords.
EDIT: THERE IS NO PRIORITY TO CONNECTION, SO JUST BE AWARE THERE ARE TWO PLUGS AND BOTH FIRMLY INSERTED.
We've called Nvidia and on the 5th time , we were specifically told that it did not appear that the motherboard and graphic driver are compatible.[/flash] How could that be ??? did they give up???
EDIT: THEY WERE INCORRECT, THEY DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY.
gfffffff* We are just about giving up and preparing to package up the new card and taking the restock charge...
EDIT: NEVER GIVE UP!!!
