PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE AND HELP ME, PLEASE!! What video upgrades can I do?

[Huffer]

I believe those are just what you need. The link I gave you to generic upgrade instructions for processor and video card should be all you need. Once you get the cover off it will be pretty obvious.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF I RECALL YOU DID MENTION THAT THERE WERE TWO TYPES OF PROCESSORS. ONE WITH THE SOCKET TYPE AND I FORGET THE OTHER ONE.

ANYWAY AFTER TO CONFIRM WHAT I TYPED IN THE PRIOR POSTING AND CONCURR THEY ARE WHAT I NEED WITHOUT OVERWELMIMING MY COMPUTER, I WILL ORDER THOS TODAY.

PLEASE CONFIRM WHAT I TYPED IN THE PRIOR POSTING IS ACCURATE SO I CAN GET GOING AND ORDER THEM TODAY!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY FRIEND.

jUST SAY WHAT I TYPED SOUNDS ACCURATED SO I CAN GET GOING WITH MY UPGRADE!

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO FAST IN YOUR REPLY.

I AM BUYING A NEW PROCESSOR AND AN UPGRADED VIDEO CARD FOR MY OLD COMPAQ CQ4010F DESKTOP.

THE DVD PLAYER STICKS AND DOES NOT COME OUT!

I FINALLY USED A LARGE WIRE AND STUCK IT IN THE SMALL HOLE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO COME OUT LIKE NORMAL.

IT ONLY COMES OUT IF I USED THE WIRE TO GET IT TO COME OUT.

I KNOW THE BUTTON BUT IT GETS STUCK AND THE BUTTON DOES NOT WORK.

I WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE THIS PART OF THE DESK TOP AS WELL WITH A BETTER ONE IF I HAD A BRAND AND PART NUMBER TO GO ON EBAY, AS WELL AS THE HARD DRIVE?

THESE ITEMS ARE RELATIVELY CHEAP AND I WANT TO UPGRADE BOTH.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME AS I BOUGHT MY PROCESSOR UPGRADE AND A VIDEO CARD UPDRADE AND IT WILL BE A WEEK AND A HALF FOR DELIVERY SO WHY NOT BUY A FEW MORE ITEMS AND PUT THEM IN, INSTALL THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME!! FYI, I ALREADY UPGRADED TO THE MAX OF 4 GB OF RAM.

ALSO SHOULD I UPGRADE FROM MY 220 WATT WHILE I AM AT IT?

I AM HOPFULL THIS WILL LAST ME FOR A YEAR, MAYBE TWO.

PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT THE POWER SYSTEM, DVD +RDL UPGRADE AND THE HARD DRIVE.

ANYTHOGHTS OUT THERE FOR A COMPUTER THAT IS IN THE LATE YEARS OF A DOGS LIFE, PLEASE!! 🙂

THAT MEANS MY DESK TOP HP COMPAQ CQ4010F ..... I WILL ALSO I INSTALL A FEW MORE FANS AS IT HAS 2 RIGHT NOW.

WISH I KNEW OF SOME REALLY QUIET FANS I COULD BUY ON EBAY AND SHOULD I INCREASE THE PWER WATTAGE TO 320 OR HIGHER THAT WILL FIT, WHATEVER FROM 220 WATTS. I THINK I NEED AN EXPERT OPINION ON ALL OF THE ABOVE!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MIKE R. SUNSETMR ! 🙂   PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO HELP ME! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

AGAIN I AM WAITING FOR A PROCESSOR, A VIDEO CARD TO DO SOME UPGRADES TO AN OLD COMPUTER.

IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD NOT BE DOING THIS.

MY HP COMPAQ CQ4010F COMES WITH A 220 WATT POWER SUPPLY.

WOULD A LARGER WATTAGE LIKE 320 OR MORE FIT IN THE SPACE PROVIDED?

IF SO, MAY I PLEASE GET A PART NUMBER SO I CAN SHOP RIGHT NOW WHILE I AM WAITING FOR PARTS TO BE DELIVERED WHICH IS 1-2 WEEKS AWAY.

I KNOW I WILL NEED MORE POWER AND MORE SILENT RUNNING FANS. ANY SILENT FANS BRAND RECCOMENDED??

Hello,

I bought the EVGA 1024MB DDR3 GEFORCE GRAFICS CARD AND INSTALLED IT, I THINK, PROPERLY.

AFTER INSTALLATION OR TRYING TO,,, IT STATES THAT I CAN NOT INSTALL IT.

I HAVE IT INSTALLED CONECTED AND IT FITS FINE!!!

WHAT ARE YOU FOLKS DOING TO ME?

I STATED THAT I HAVE 22O WATT POWER......

THE GEFORCE PROBLEM THAT POPS UP ON MY COMPUTER STATES THAT I NEED A MINIMUM OF 300 WATTS TO RUN IT.

WHO IS CORRECT HERE?]

I TOLD YOU WHAT I HAVE AND WAS ASSURED IT WOULD WORK.

SHOULD I LEAVE THE CARD IN MY PC AND GO OUT AND BUY A BIGGER WATTAGE  POWER SUPPLY???  AND HOPE IT WILL FIT? DO YOU WANT TO GIVE ME A POWER WATTAGE OF LIKE 450 OR SOMETHING THAT WILL FIT?

IN MY COMAQ 401OF WITH AN UPGRADE TO 8 GB OF RAM I DID A YEAR AGO, FYI.

YOU GAVE ME THE PROCESSOR UPGRADE THAT IS DUE IN A FEW WEEKS, AM I GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE PROCESSOR AS WELL??

WHAT DO I DO?

I TRUSTED YOUR JUDGEMENT AND NOW I AM STUCK!!

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP ME NOW?

I HOPE THERE IS A GOOD POWER WATTAGE SUPPLY THAT WILL WORK JUST FINE OR I JUST LOST WHAT LITTLE MONEY I HAVE LEFT.

CAN YOU FOLKS SEND ME A POWER SUPPLY THAT WILL FIT BASED ON MY PROBLEMS AND THE SMALL SPACE I AM DEALING WITH?

HELLO AND PLEASE HELP ME!!

[sunsetMR]

Okay, I bought the  AMD CPU PHENOM II X4-940 3.0GHz SOCKET AM2 processor and it should be here today.

I think it is relativly easy install if I can get to it and add some silver grease!

I also bout the power supply you suggested of 450 watts. Much too big to fit in my mini case but I do not mind as 450 should do me good!

Next is the video card you suggested.

It is a nvidia GeForce 210! Do you need for information about the card?

I think to install it I will need to download some drivers and switch the monitor VGA connector to the one on the GEFORCE VIDEO CARD.

SO I THINK THE PROCESSOR SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM AND THE POWER SUPPLY IS ALREADY WORKING.

i WILL NEED LINKS AND DIRECTIVES WITH THE VIDEO CARD, BIOS AND INSTALL.

IT DID COM WITH A DOWNLOAD DISC.

DO I ELIMINATED THE OLD CARD ?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

jUST ASKING FOR HELP MY FRIENDS! :):)

[sunsetMR]

tHE PROCESSOR  AMD CPU Phenom II X4-940 3.0GHz Socket AM2 SHOULD BE HERE TOMORROW AND I BOUGHT  SILVER PASTE. I HOPE MY HEAT SINK AND FAN ARE IN DECENT SHAPE.

tHE PART THAT CONCERNS ME IS THE NVIDIA GEFORCE 210.

FROM WHAT LITTLE I KNOW, I WILL NEED TO UNINSTALL MY NVIDA GEFORCE 6150SE NFORCE 430 THAT CAME WITH THE COMPUTER NEW.

AND THEN INSTALL THE GEFORCE 210 1024MB DDR3 THAT WAS ALSO RECOMENDED BY HP.

MY CONCERN IS THE BIOS ETC. OF PROBLEMS GETTING THE 210 INSTALLED!!  CORRECTLY.   gEFORECE CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID, 

Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care

This is a follow-up email in reference to your contact to NVIDIA. With reference to Geforce 210 graphics card installation, please disable the onboard graphics card (Geforce 6150SE) in the motherboard BIOS.

ALSO I NEED ASSURANCE THE 210 IS A SLAM DUNK AND THERE WILL BE NO BIOS ISSUES AS I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT BIOS IS??  I GUESS I NEED A BUCKET OF CONFIDENCE FROM YOU GUYS.

SO FAR I AM DOING EVERYTHING YOU FOLKS HAVE TOLD ME WHAT TO BUY AND HOW TO INSTALL BUT THIS CARD AND BIOS HAS ME CONCERNED AND I NEED A STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTION FOR THE VIDEO CARD BUT NO INSTRUCTIONS CAME WITH THE 21O CARD AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS QUESTIONABLE TO PUT IT MILDLY. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THE VIDEO CARD INSTALL AND THE OLD VIDEO UNINSTALL PLEASE!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION.

I ALSO FOUND OUT I WILL NEED TO HOOK UP MY VGA CONNECTOR FOR THE MONITOR  TO THE VGA CONNECTOR ON THE 210 VIDEO CARD. ALSO ANY SETTING SUGGESTIONS FOR THE CARD WOULD BE GREAT. SORRY THAT I AM SO WINDED ON THIS MEMO TO YOU GUYS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AS I HAVE THE VIDEO CARD RIGHT HERE.
