Upgrading Video Card And Power Supply

Apr 8, 2012

My brother needs a video card but me being the smart one here. I got his info from dxdiag and I need a recommendation for two things , a video card and power supply. His current power supply runs at a max of 250w and it seems low, mine being 500w so its the right thing to upgrade in order to get a video card. keep video card recommendations "single slot" only since I have no idea how to hook up a video card to a power supply. Single slot ones are simple.

System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Manufacturer : Hewlett-Packard
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 Processor
Memory: 4096MB RAM
OS Memory: 3840MB RAM
Power Supply : 250W Max

Upgrading Processor And Video Card

Nov 16, 2009

I was planning on upgrading my computer. Namely, replacing the motherboard so that I could upgrade my processor, and getting a new video card. Under XP it was fine, I just had to install new drivers. But will 7 complain about licenses and such?

Would I need to 'easy in' to the change (new motherboard, check drivers, restart, new cpu, etc), or can I change everything but the hard drive? And if I was to change the hard drive could I just dd over the hard drive image?

The place I worked had an enterprise license for XP, so I never ran into any problems, and so I'm not sure how this will work.

Power Supply Trun On Then Goes Off

Jan 17, 2013

A standby machine that I have is having trouble starting. When first turned on, it will attempt a start, drive lights fans etc come on then within 3 seconds, go out and repeat. This does this for about 5-6 iterations and then starts normal and will run until turned off. This system has one HDD, one DVD drive, MB graphics, so I don't think there is much of a load.

Oct 31, 2011

My original problem, i am sure is my power suplly, I have just upgraded to the cross hair V main board. My computer has been restarting randomly during intensive game play. it didn't do this before my upgrade. Secondly as i have said above i currently have a 500w PSU. I am thinking of upgrading to the antec High Current Gamer 750 watt. I have filled in the system specs. do you think it will run my computer perfectly. also i will be getting 16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM and an ATI 6970 will the antec PSU be enough?

Faulty Power Supply Or Something Else?

Nov 22, 2012

I'm having some strange problems with my PSU. My computer went black last night while I was playing GTA IV. After some research on the web, I came to a conclusion that my PSU died. I attempted the paperclip trick with no success - fans didnt do anything. I was about ready to start shopping for a new one, plugged everything back into places, when I saw a red 115V/230V switch on the back. I switched it from default 115V to 230V and tried the paperclip test again. This time the fan on the back of the case (not PSU) started spinning, and lights on the front and the green light on CD-ROM lit up. I plugged the 24 pin connector back into the motherboard, and hit the on switch (still with 230V), and the same thing happened.From what I described above, what do you think has gone wrong with my PC? And why is PSU acting the way it is?

0x80070035 After New Power Supply

Apr 17, 2011

I replaced my power supply and now I get a 0x80070035 error when trying to map my network storage server. I've had this mapped for over a year, and usually just need to enter the password to re-connect after a re-boot. I've tried disabling the firewall, anti-virus, file and printer sharing, etc. I looked for the extra network entries that others have said to delete, but I don't have any.

This computer is running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. The network storage server is running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. From the 32 bit machine the 64 bit machine shows up, even in explorer.

From the 64 bit machine the 32 bit does not show up except under the Network and sharing center, selecting "see full map" shows both machines.

I can't see how changing a power supply could cause a problem. I tried going back to a restore point from last week in case a "windows update" caused the problem, which did not show up until the latest re-boot, but that did not help either.

Program To Monitor Power Supply?

Jan 24, 2013

I am starting to think I may have a power supply issue and none of the programs I use seem to monitor it correctly or the power supply is bad. I have been using TOverclocker (came with my Biostar MB), Speccy, Everest, HWinfo64, HWinfo32 and SpeedFan. None of these give me consistent measurements or measure the voltages wrong from opening the program. Is there a monitor program out there that is very good at measuring power supply voltages. My MB is a Biostar TZ68A+.

Freezes - Error With Power Supply

Nov 5, 2009

Through a clean install I switched to Windows 7 last week. Today being the 6th day since I switched, the computer has frozen 4 times. Of the 4 times, one was just a sudden power down without a proper shutdown.

Through event viewer, the log suggested an error dealing with power supply.

Since I've noticed that multiple PCs on different processors are seeing the same error, I would like to know if there have been any fixes released for this yet.

Anybody solve this yet?

Here is my current build:

[code]....

Ever since I changed my power supply from an Orion 480W to my current Cooler Master power supply, my pc will not sleep. It initiates sleep but then immediately turns back on and boots to the login screen. I have tried everything! From powercfg in cmd to changing the seetings on the motherboard in bios, and disabling all hardware from waking my system up to changing the power supply settings in windows. I am considering doing a reinstall of windows

BSOD Only After Long Time Without Power Supply, 0x0000001E

Nov 16, 2011

If the computer is shut down and disconnected from the power supply for about 5 hours or longer I get a bluescreen right after the windows boot screen. Otherwise it starts without problems and works fine. My workaround for the problem after long shut down is to switch on the power supply, then immediately switch it off and then on again. This works always fine!

My System:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 4GB (2x2) 1333-777 RAM ATI Radeon HD 5570

Blue Screen: *** STOP: 0x0000001E (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

I already used all of the windows debugging, diagnostic tools and Memtest but without success.

Power Supply Surges Detected - Computer Keeps Shutting Down

May 23, 2012

My computer keeps shutting itself down with the following error message:

"Power surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS anti-surge was triggered to protect the system from unstable power.......(see below for photo of screen).

So I bought a UPS in the hopes of controlling the flow of power to my computer. Unfortunately that didn't work so I assumed that the power supply unit must be broken. I have replaced it and I am still getting the crash/error. So I simply disabled the feature on teh motherboard that controls anti-surge protection and now my computer simply crashes and powers down.

I have checked the event logs and noticed this being logged right before the crash every time:

"File System Filter 'aswSnx' (6.0, ‎2012‎-‎03‎-‎07T01:04:05.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager."

External Hard Drives Without Their Own Power Supply Are Not Detected

Jan 8, 2012

My desktop does not detect and external hard drive that do not come with their own power supply. I have many externals that also plug into the wall and they are working fine; but whenever it is an external without a plug, i.e. the portable ones they are never found.

They do not show up in Computer Management, so it is not because I did not assign a letter to the drive.

I have tried various things, but I don't know what I should be testing for or looking for. These externals all work on other laptops and other desktops perfectly fine so it is not the externals. When they are plugged into my desktop, they light up normally like they should, but the desktop never detects them. I have tried these externals with the different USB cable I have on hand, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't matter which USB port I plug the device in, it still gives me no response.

I am running a i7 860 on a ASUS P7P55D Pro.

Upgrading Integrated Card Without A New PSU?

Nov 27, 2011

SAPPHIRE 100323L Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card?I don't know much about computers internally. I've been researching and unfortunately could not find any of the answers I've been looking for. I currently have the Acer Aspire X1420G running an AMD Athlon II X4 645 Processor 3.10 GHZ and 4GB RAM.. the power supply is 220W. its very weak from what i have read. So the question is, would i be able to upgrade to a SAPPHIRE 100323L Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100323L Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card Without having to swap out the PSU? I'm on a budget hence the 450$ computer, so the PSU I'm trying to avoid buying, but I will if i have to. Because if I'm going to be spending the money to upgrade my performance, I want to do it right.
