I have a 1tb one so i dont need an upgrade but you can fit another hard drive under the dvd drive or the power supply depending on which model youve got
What graphics card do you recommend for this? I plan on getting one and would also like to hear more about what other cables/accessories you'd recommend. Thanks.
+Mr. TIE Hi! The monitor didn't come with it, it just happens to match the Elite 8000 really well. The best graphics card would be the "Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 Graphics Card (SFF)". It's the best one you can get for the computer and are generally cheap today. If you want to check it out, I featured the monitor in a review here: ua-cam.com/video/jgFVmo8V6oE/v-deo.html Good luck with your purchase!
Luke - ok thanks :) would you say this would be good? www.amazon.com/PNY-Quadro-2DisplayPort-PCI-Express-Profile/dp/B0023B132S/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1462803740&sr=8-11&keywords=Nvidia+Quadro+NVS+295+Graphics+Card
+Mr. TIE That's a good deal, you can also find some pretty great deals on eBay. I get the majority of my cards from there, and they're like new as well. I'd recommend taking a look there as well.
I am bidding on (1) of 8000 and (5) of 8200 as 1 lot bidding. It doesn't show the specs of the machines that I am bidding, so I don't know what size ram or HD sizes it will come with. My question is, I am planning to pull Ram sticks from other machines into one that I am going to use. Will it work? I could get all 6 machines under $20.00 and thought it would be worth it.
If they're ddr3 possibly check the spec sheets on hp website! Max ram is 32gb. I'm running my hp/compaq 8000 as a plex server with 16gb and no problems or lag, I also upgraded the cpu to a 4 core. Stock is usually a dual core.
cool video, I decided to upgrade my 2011 instead of buying a new pc. ( glad I did ) specs : HP Compaq Elite 8200 sff with i5_2400 / 12 Gb ram & added 2 x sand hd
I work in the IT department for the university I attended and they hate these computers. well the elite 8100 version of this. A while back we had a severe thunderstorm that blew out the onboard eithernet on 5 of these in one night and we didn't have low profile ethernet cards for them we only had standard height. We ended up replacing them with elite 8200 towers rather than the small form factor desktops like yours. It's just to hard to find cheap power supplies for these small form factor versions.
Yup, that's the cost for portability. Although you could expect that behavior from any computer in a thunderstorm. Just be thankful you didn't have a 2006-2010 Dell Optiplex. All of those would've been fried
Ooh that’s a no go. Only install the original power supply model number from your PC. There are board revisions with different connectors and power ratings
i play CS EXTREME v6 with ge force gtx 650 but when i put up to 30 bots the game hangs and can only run the game with below 30 bots . both cpu cores seems average 90% usage when i run the game
I am bidding on 1x8000 and 5x8200 as 1 lot auction. My plan is to combined some of Ram stick into one machine that I want to use. This auction doesn't indicate the specs, so I am assuming it has only a basics (no upgrade ever made to this machine). My question is, if I pull Ram stick into one that I am going to use, will it work? What else I can use from other machines into the one PC that I am planning to keep? All 6 machines, I think I can get it at $25.00 - $30.00. so, I thought it would be worth it.
Cool video I just got this desktop for gaming or upgrading it for gaming. Can I play DayZ on it as it is or do I need a better processor and graphics card? Thanks!
GTX 750ti low profile, original processor is about as good as you’ll get. The increase in performance with a CPU upgrade is minimal, then it should run DayZ and Minecraft decently
Just bought one of these as a refurb. Any advise as to what to check when I get it? It's win 7 pro. Update...when I first turned it on I got 5 beeps and 5 red blinks...which is a ram error. Turns out the 4gb ram in the black slot just needed reseating. Not sure which slot to put another 4gb stick in though. Surprisingly quiet.

Two things. Can I insert another hdd or only one is possible. Say one 500gb and another 2tb? Second, can it be upgrade to win 10 or limited to Windows 8 only?
You can only insert 1 hard drive with the DVD drive in. Technically you could get around this by just putting the second hard drive loosely in the case but only do that if you aren't moving the desktop because that's pretty dangerous. If you take out the DVD drive, you can unscrew the mounting screws from the DVD drive and into the side of the hard drive. Then it should click right in! I'm pretty sure all models can only handle 2 hard drives maximum
I was wondering if this computer will be obsolete soon since most are refurbished, I just purchased one about a month ago, how long will I be able to get parts for this computer, I have a laptop from a different brand which is a year to two years old and cannot get some parts for it according to manufacture. Thank you for your video and reply.
Daniel Trujillo This PC will not be obsolete for at least another decade. My HP Vectra XA-6 from 1997 is still chugging with all original components and Windows 98 which is installed is perfectly usable. Seeing how popular the Elite 8000 was, there should be an aftermarket for used but working or off-brand parts for years to come.
Hey everyone, I've received a lot of great questions about this product and i'd like to answer as many as I can right here. I'll definitely be more specific in my future videos so you can learn everything you can! 1) What upgrades can you make to this computer? - This link (h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01926344) shows all of the upgrades you can make to the Elite 8000. The only thing you can upgrade even further is Storage. I've tested 4TB hard drives on this unit with no problems to speak of. 2) How can I safely perform these upgrades? - First, make sure you're getting the right parts for this machine. It's best to check the link above to make sure the part you're trying to install is compatible. Then unplug the computer and hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge any electricity. You can now open the computer and install any parts as necessary. In the video I highlight how to open the computer and where all parts are located. 3) How is the gaming performance? What graphics card should I use? - You'll definitely want a graphics card and a quad core processor before you expect to game on this machine. With the dual core processor and no graphics card like the one in the video, I got 30fps on CS:GO (normal settings, 720p), and 55-60fps on MineCraft (basic settings, 1080p) but anything more than that and you won't be happy with the performance. I recommend going for the Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 Graphics Card (SFF). It's the best card you can get for this machine (according to HP) so you would see a HUGE jump in fps. Paired with a quad core processor and you can play triple-A titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 at a halfway decent 25fps. 4) What ports does it have? - In the video I go over the ports every basic model of this computer has. There is no wi-fi by default but you can find USB wi-fi adapters for around $15 online. Depending on the graphics card you get you can add DisplayPort and HDMI outputs as well. Feel free to leave any other questions below - Luke (Simplyou2be)
Hey man can i game witcher 3 in it ? plus how much psu does it have? its actually a medium dekstop not the smallest ssf as u have. its coming with i5 3rd gen
A bro i really need some help please. i got the exact same computer and i just recently got a graphic card to put in it but i guess i got the wrong graphic card because the part that goes into the motherboard is to small. Can you please reply and help me thank you.
Video editing is average. It will stutter and freeze on occasion when panning through, so it's not really meant for anything over 720p. Simple gaming is definitely good on this computer. Even without a graphics card I could hit 50fps steady on Garry's Mod. With a graphics card and an upgrade to Intel Core 2 Quad this computer can even handle GTA 5 (albeit very slowly), but still amazing for its age. Hope this helped!
Not very good, to be honest. For casual games like Garry's Mod and Rigs Of Rods you'll be okay, but anything else and you won't be happy. You could get a graphics card for this but I'd just recommend getting a gaming desktop instead
Hey Luke, I recently bought this and I'm having an issue with it. I bought a display port to hdmi cable so that I could use it on my TV. I connected it, but I get no video on my TV. I've tried turning it on and off, switching hdmi ports on the TV, and nothing works. Please help, I've found no solution for it, I've even tried calling HP and nothing so far. Thank you - Chris
This just happened to me lol. How long is the HDMI cable? If it's longer than 10 feet try a shorter one. As much as it sucks longer HDMI cables tend to mess everything up
+Clash with Sach It plays minecraft @ about 40fps, but no way it'll play COD MW4, even if it's decked out with 8GB and a 3GHz Core 2 Duo. I'd say you're better off getting a graphics card for this unit or you'll be seeing slideshows while you're playing.
With an Nvidia GEForce GT 730 graphics card you can have a render distance of 14, and it runs smoothly after a few seconds of loading all of the chunks. (It is my main pc I'm writing this comment on)
Hi , I have an hp 8200 elite SFF with i5 2500 and 4 GB ram . I'm planning to buy a gtx 1050 ti low profile and add another 4gb ram . So can i play most of games with high or ultra setting ??? especially FIFA 17 , GTA 5 and WWE 2K17 ???
TERRIER unable I wish, but the power supply is far too underpowered to support a card of that magnitude. Not to mention that removing the side panel would cause issues for cooling
TERRIER unable HP recommends the Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 which is probably the best you could get for this computer, but Quadro cards are more suited towards business applications than gaming. I sugguest you get an HP 8200 or 8300 CMT desktop. They'll have more recent Core i5/i7 processors and can fit a 1050ti with ease
Hello I recently bought this off amazon and i was wondering if it will play games like battlefront 2 (the old one of course), and garrys mod? It would be amazing if you reply
Garry's Mod runs 30fps on normal settings, which is decent for what you're paying for one of these. Battlefront 2 I haven't played yet but from the minimum requirements you should be good to go :)
Simplyou2be So would i be able to play these games right out the box and without upgrading? also forgot to mention 1 more game left or dead 2 lol sorry
Yummer7 Yes, this unit can easily drive 1080p UA-cam playback. Forex charts will take a few seconds to buffer all its data but scrolling is smooth and overall functions flawlessly. Good luck!
how does it behave while playing games? I dont play very heavy games but most often I play SimCity or World Of FIshing but still I hope its not overheating ?
It's a pretty well behaved computer. It sits when you tell it to and loves playing games. But in all seriousness it stays very cool when gaming. If you're concerned about high temperatures you can turn up the fan speed in the BIOS. Games like SimCity or World of Fishing should run just fine.
On a scale of 1-10 (1 being quietest), it's a 3. The fan doesn't even ramp up while gaming, and the computer stays relatively cool. With the integrated graphics, gaming is pretty bad (only 30fps from Garry's Mod mid settings). You can get a graphics card for this machine, but don't expect to play any Triple A games too well. This is mostly just a business computer that's best for multi-taskers and casual gaming. Hope this helps!
Minecraft runs pretty well, actually (40-50fps fast settings). You could get an Elite 8000 with no graphics card, try your favorite games, and get a card if you see it necessary. If you're only going to play casual games though, I think integrated graphics will be okay
hi my pc is hp 8000 elite cmt pc and 320 power supply and core2duo e8400 and 4gb ram but iwant to buy gtx750 ti 2gb ddr5 canmy pc handle it please answer me because i want to this card
asd man Nope, definitely not without a graphics card and quad core processor, and even with both you'll still be pushing around 30-40fps. This is a business focused computer so it's not really meant to game in the first place, especially with the latest triple A titles.
This is the Elite 8300, and it's $10 over your budget but worth every penny. It has quick 3rd gen i5 processors and a good amount of HDD space and ram for gaming. www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Compaq-Elite-8300-SFF-Core-i5-3470-3-2GHz-4GB-DDR3-500GB-HDD-No-OS-/162388604636?hash=item25cf1d76dc:g:sHUAAOSwnHZYm1Q-
Hey I've bought a c2quad 2.66 q8400 and it won't seem to boot with this core inside my hp elite 8000. you mentioned somewhere in the comments that you should be able to upgrade them to a quad but I'm stuck at booting. the machine starts up then turns off and reboots only to show a black screen and the fans get really loud. I have already got the latest bios installed so Idk what else the problem could be. I put the c2duo back in and it works fine... any suggestions?? much appreciated
Sounds like a bad processor! Check the bottom of the processor and make sure all of the contacts are clean. If not, *lightly* dampen a q-tip with water and run it along all of the contacts. Also make sure you're applying thermal compound. The processor will die an ugly death without any: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186038
This happened a while ago with another cpu I bought, however I had another mobo and slapped it in that and it was fine. The exact same thing that happened with that cpu in this machine happened with this core 2 quad. It's the right chipset and everything so I'm really confused right now... Should I try removing some ram or updating all the other device drivers??
Ok so it isn't ram I tested using one stick of 2gb ddr3 and nothing, then none then 3 then all but still the same thing. Boots onto a black screen then reboots and the fans turn onto max output. Tried cleaning the cpu as well but that didn't help either
I have a HP dc7900 sff... is this good for gaming? I have 4GB of RAM and 160GB HDD coming on its way. and I wanna know if its good for gaming bcuz its sitting on my bed waiting for its parts.
If your asking if this specific computer can handle Windows 10, then yes. If you're asking about any computer, then yes as well. Windows 10 is free on any computer running Windows 7 or above until this July. After that it's $119 for Windows 10 Home, and $199 for Windows 10 Pro. I hope that helps!
+SHOTzzHD I personally dislike Windows 10, and if you like Windows 8.1, I recommend staying. However, you can try Windows 10 and have 31 days to downgrade back to Windows 8.1. It is also free, so your call. Remember, you have a month to go back if you don't like Windows 10
+SHOTzzHD that's a decent PC for home use (web browsing, photo albums, word processing) but don't expect any gaming from that machine. Overall a nice value with the monitor too!
I plan on getting this because I am on a budget and I need something for casual gaming. This really helped me thank you!
Me too how is it
How is it working for gaming?
Anytime!
Hey, thanks man! I really appreciate this video it helped

Second, can it be upgrade to win 10 or limited to Windows 8 only?
yes you can
Where can another hdd be insert while keeping dvdrom too?
And Windows 10 which version 32 or 64 bit?
there is a box down to dvd in that box and must check that your motherboard has an extra drive connector for additional hdd drive.
You can only insert 1 hard drive with the DVD drive in. Technically you could get around this by just putting the second hard drive loosely in the case but only do that if you aren't moving the desktop because that's pretty dangerous.

Except the HDD the rest of the system is prone to failure after 7 years of usage.Is gonna be reliable?
Yes, these are reliable as the earth is solid

You need thermal paste, unscrew heatsink, lift up CPU handle, change CPU and reverse. Look up thermal paste application on UA-cam
Will a 750 ti with 1 fan on it fit??

3) How is the gaming performance? What graphics card should I use?
- You'll definitely want a graphics card and a quad core processor before you expect to game on this machine. With the dual core processor and no graphics card like the one in the video, I got 30fps on CS:GO (normal settings, 720p), and 55-60fps on MineCraft (basic settings, 1080p) but anything more than that and you won't be happy with the performance. I recommend going for the Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 Graphics Card (SFF). It's the best card you can get for this machine (according to HP) so you would see a HUGE jump in fps. Paired with a quad core processor and you can play triple-A titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 at a halfway decent 25fps.
4) What ports does it have?
- In the video I go over the ports every basic model of this computer has. There is no wi-fi by default but you can find USB wi-fi adapters for around $15 online. Depending on the graphics card you get you can add DisplayPort and HDMI outputs as well.

Hey man can i game witcher 3 in it ? plus how much psu does it have?
its actually a medium dekstop not the smallest ssf as u have. its coming with i5 3rd gen
A bro i really need some help please. i got the exact same computer and i just recently got a graphic card to put in it but i guess i got the wrong graphic card because the part that goes into the motherboard is to small. Can you please reply and help me thank you.
yupp i am rite now
Simplyou2be is there a difference between Hp 8000 elite and a normal Hp 8000?
Simplyou2be my hp elite8000 wont turn on snd next to the battery the green light isnt on and its just a black screen can u help?
How does it work with video editing, or (twitch streams-(capture card)) and does it work well with simple gaming
Video editing is average. It will stutter and freeze on occasion when panning through, so it's not really meant for anything over 720p. Simple gaming is definitely good on this computer. Even without a graphics card I could hit 50fps steady on Garry's Mod. With a graphics card and an upgrade to Intel Core 2 Quad this computer can even handle GTA 5 (albeit very slowly), but still amazing for its age. Hope this helped!
Luke - Thanks I just ordered one Thanks for the help
+TURTLELIZER can it play Minecraft and csgo?
I haven't had any trouble so far just a little lag but not bad dont make much of a difference in game play
I can hardly run a gamecube game and 720p video on it
Upgrade it or sell it
No display port or HDMI out?
Fucking disgrace
DisplayPort and HDMI only
How well is this computer for gaming
Not very good, to be honest. For casual games like Garry's Mod and Rigs Of Rods you'll be okay, but anything else and you won't be happy. You could get a graphics card for this but I'd just recommend getting a gaming desktop instead
just use with all emulators retro,, , or for linux use
Hey Luke, I recently bought this and I'm having an issue with it. I bought a display port to hdmi cable so that I could use it on my TV. I connected it, but I get no video on my TV. I've tried turning it on and off, switching hdmi ports on the TV, and nothing works. Please help, I've found no solution for it, I've even tried calling HP and nothing so far. Thank you - Chris
This just happened to me lol. How long is the HDMI cable? If it's longer than 10 feet try a shorter one. As much as it sucks longer HDMI cables tend to mess everything up
It's not very long actually, it's pretty short.
i have one but i cant install Windows 10 on it... keeps saying "frequency out of order" or something like that :( any help?
Reset BIOS to default settings, if that doesn’t work then replace the computer cause it’s too old at this point
Can I put the Hp in vertical ?
Yes, there are actually rubber pads on the side meant for that placement.
Simplyou2be Thanks , but can i do without rubber pads?
Yes, but it will slide pretty easily and scratch up the case. Put some rubber feet or even a towel to prevent damage
can u play normal games on this like minecraft and call of duty modern warfare 4?
+Clash with Sach It plays minecraft @ about 40fps, but no way it'll play COD MW4, even if it's decked out with 8GB and a 3GHz Core 2 Duo. I'd say you're better off getting a graphics card for this unit or you'll be seeing slideshows while you're playing.
+Luke - (Simplyou2be) thanks but what do u mean by slide shows
Really, really slow gameplay
+Clash with Sach You can get the the MSI Radeon HD6450 sff gpu for 35 dollars.
MineTEST runs better, It's a less process intensive minecraft clone with all the same features and gameplay as minecraft.
Good for playing minecraft?
With an Nvidia GEForce GT 730 graphics card you can have a render distance of 14, and it runs smoothly after a few seconds of loading all of the chunks. (It is my main pc I'm writing this comment on)
Sirdeathvids do you still down it? I would like to ask questions
Not anymore
Do I need one of thos in order to play
Yes ofc lol
Yes
Hi , I have an hp 8200 elite SFF with i5 2500 and 4 GB ram . I'm planning to buy a gtx 1050 ti low profile and add another 4gb ram . So can i play most of games with high or ultra setting ??? especially FIFA 17 , GTA 5 and WWE 2K17 ???
The first undisputed champion i5??!! I would recommend upgrading to i7
No, CPU is too much of a bottleneck
can you fit a gtx 1050 ti in it?
TERRIER unable Nope. just got one myself and the card would stick 2 inches or so outside of the case. sorry
would it be able to if i took out the side panel?
TERRIER unable I wish, but the power supply is far too underpowered to support a card of that magnitude. Not to mention that removing the side panel would cause issues for cooling
oh ok what graphics card would you recommend?
TERRIER unable HP recommends the Nvidia Quadro NVS 295 which is probably the best you could get for this computer, but Quadro cards are more suited towards business applications than gaming. I sugguest you get an HP 8200 or 8300 CMT desktop. They'll have more recent Core i5/i7 processors and can fit a 1050ti with ease
Hello I recently bought this off amazon and i was wondering if it will play games like battlefront 2 (the old one of course), and garrys mod? It would be amazing if you reply
Garry's Mod runs 30fps on normal settings, which is decent for what you're paying for one of these. Battlefront 2 I haven't played yet but from the minimum requirements you should be good to go :)
Simplyou2be So would i be able to play these games right out the box and without upgrading? also forgot to mention 1 more game left or dead 2 lol sorry
Is there any other processors you can use for this computer that are good?
Nope, most of them provide only marginal increases in performance and you still don’t have USB 3, Windows 11 support, etc
Hi, how good is this for just viewing youtube videos and forex charts? I'm buying this mainly for business, not gaming.
Yummer7 Yes, this unit can easily drive 1080p UA-cam playback. Forex charts will take a few seconds to buffer all its data but scrolling is smooth and overall functions flawlessly. Good luck!
There is no hdmi connection ?
nope ,,, is too old
Nope
Does this have sd or cf card slots for uploadoading photos?
Some of them do in the little space below the DVD drive but most don’t and you’ll need to buy it and/or the cable separately
will it run no mans sky and SWTOR?
+luke -
+Matter879 I haven't tested those games out but essentially if it was released after 2010, it won't work well
I am looking at one n amazon for 135 with dvd dr Can I plug in a usb wifi ? You said you need to plug in ethernet .
USB wifi will work, yes
There's just no Wi-Fi by default unless amazon says it has it
Do it hdmi ?
nah you gotta just buy a adapter just look up on amazon hdmi adapter its about $8
Not without a low profile graphics card. This computer is too old to handle good graphics cards and the processor will be a huge bottleneck
can you upgrade the CPU to a 4 core?
ThaTStroZen Yes. Up to the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Simplyou2be can you get a Intel core 2 quad q6600 with a better GHz than 2.4?
I upgraded mine windows 10 pro now Wi-Fi is missing tried to contact Microsoft opened the forum found out I wasn't alone.
have you tried with an external usb wiffi port? or checked if wiffi card is installed? because some of this models have no wiffi card incluided
Ooh, uh how did you get WiFi on there? A card? Get a USB WiFi adapter
how does it behave while playing games? I dont play very heavy games but most often I play SimCity or World Of FIshing but still I hope its not overheating ?
It's a pretty well behaved computer. It sits when you tell it to and loves playing games. But in all seriousness it stays very cool when gaming. If you're concerned about high temperatures you can turn up the fan speed in the BIOS. Games like SimCity or World of Fishing should run just fine.
GT 1030 Low Profile supported on this motherboard?
Yes
will this pc support graphics card?
Low profile, GTX 750ti recommended. The CPU will be a huge bottleneck, I’d just get a new PC
Hello where to find which CPU's fit to HP Elite 8000( SFF )? Does the Q9450 fit? THNX
These are the list of supported processors for the Elite 8000: h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01926344.
How much fps in minecraft? with normal settings?
Easy 45-50 fps without a graphics card and the configuration I have in the video
How many hz can this pc run?
120Hz with DisplayPort, xxxHz depending on which low profile graphics card you install, 75Hz with VGA
this isnt that bad, i am gonna upgrade this processor with graphics card and samsung 850 pro and it should be good
KYle Hammond Ayy I have the 850 Evo in my new computer and it's amazing. Enjoy!
What is the price of this cpu
About 5-10 bucks used. Here's a link: ebay.to/2GcUchd
Is it good for editing Video Editing?
No
What Improves performance The Graphics or Ram?
Ram for running more applications, graphics for playing more intensive games. Both for the best of everything!
is it good for gaming
and how loud is it on a scale of 1-10
On a scale of 1-10 (1 being quietest), it's a 3. The fan doesn't even ramp up while gaming, and the computer stays relatively cool. With the integrated graphics, gaming is pretty bad (only 30fps from Garry's Mod mid settings). You can get a graphics card for this machine, but don't expect to play any Triple A games too well. This is mostly just a business computer that's best for multi-taskers and casual gaming. Hope this helps!
like minecrafting
and thank you
Minecraft runs pretty well, actually (40-50fps fast settings). You could get an Elite 8000 with no graphics card, try your favorite games, and get a card if you see it necessary. If you're only going to play casual games though, I think integrated graphics will be okay
Do you think I could play league of legends on this
Skullwaker-J Ofc
League of legends sux!
(in my opinion)
Skullwaker-J. You can run lol on a calculator
Yes! I have this pc and it runs perfectly normal 🙃

Nice
Can you play sim on this
Depends
can this stock run like battlefield 4 and nfs rivals ? pls answer ASAP
asd man Nope, definitely not without a graphics card and quad core processor, and even with both you'll still be pushing around 30-40fps. This is a business focused computer so it's not really meant to game in the first place, especially with the latest triple A titles.
thanks for the answer :) subbed
could you recomend a gaming pc under 150 euros ? thanks in advance
This is the Elite 8300, and it's $10 over your budget but worth every penny.

Hey I've bought a c2quad 2.66 q8400 and it won't seem to boot with this core inside my hp elite 8000. you mentioned somewhere in the comments that you should be able to upgrade them to a quad but I'm stuck at booting. the machine starts up then turns off and reboots only to show a black screen and the fans get really loud. I have already got the latest bios installed so Idk what else the problem could be. I put the c2duo back in and it works fine... any suggestions?? much appreciated
Sounds like a bad processor! Check the bottom of the processor and make sure all of the contacts are clean. If not, *lightly* dampen a q-tip with water and run it along all of the contacts. Also make sure you're applying thermal compound. The processor will die an ugly death without any: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186038
This happened a while ago with another cpu I bought, however I had another mobo and slapped it in that and it was fine. The exact same thing that happened with that cpu in this machine happened with this core 2 quad. It's the right chipset and everything so I'm really confused right now... Should I try removing some ram or updating all the other device drivers??
I haven't had that problem before, so I don't know exactly what to do. I'd keep doing what you're doing and let me know what works.
Best of luck!
Thanks I try what you suggested
Ok so it isn't ram I tested using one stick of 2gb ddr3 and nothing, then none then 3 then all but still the same thing. Boots onto a black screen then reboots and the fans turn onto max output. Tried cleaning the cpu as well but that didn't help either
can u add a gtx 1050ti to this ?
Not worth it CPU sucks and the 1050 uses too much power
lol this comment is 6 years old but thanks for the response @@RealElementProductions
How does it perform on csgo
Surprisingly well. For a machine of its age with integrated graphics you can easily achieve 30+ fps on standard settings
I have a HP dc7900 sff... is this good for gaming? I have 4GB of RAM and 160GB HDD coming on its way. and I wanna know if its good for gaming bcuz its sitting on my bed waiting for its parts.
Nah, unfortunately those units are just standard business desktops. 4GB of ram and 160GB HDD wouldn't get you far in a modern system, tbh.
so... if I put 8GB of RAM in will it fry my pc
lol no XD. These systems can handle up to 16GB, if you put in more the computer will run the same, it just won't use the extra ram.
@@RealElementProductions mine are using 4 ram , but i want to upgrate to 8
Can i install a nvidia msi gt 710 2gb low profile or 730 2gb low profil
Poor performance but yes and they have to be low profile
can you upgrade to windows ten for free
If your asking if this specific computer can handle Windows 10, then yes. If you're asking about any computer, then yes as well. Windows 10 is free on any computer running Windows 7 or above until this July. After that it's $119 for Windows 10 Home, and $199 for Windows 10 Pro. I hope that helps!
+Luke “Simplyou2be” - is it worth buying and can it upgrade for free of its windows 8.1
+SHOTzzHD I personally dislike Windows 10, and if you like Windows 8.1, I recommend staying. However, you can try Windows 10 and have 31 days to downgrade back to Windows 8.1. It is also free, so your call. Remember, you have a month to go back if you don't like Windows 10
+Luke “Simplyou2be” - Ok thanks I'm gonna buy a hp 251 123 pc
+SHOTzzHD that's a decent PC for home use (web browsing, photo albums, word processing) but don't expect any gaming from that machine. Overall a nice value with the monitor too!
oh ok😅 I'm just a noob to this.
We’ve all been there. Hope you are well!
