Hello,
I bought an HP computer last year. The video card seems to be dying on me. I'm receiving blue screens and lines on start-up. I can't really do anything without a freeze 5 minutes later.
I'm planning to purchase a Radeon 6850 card next month. In regards to the 6850, Radeon's site states:
• PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
• 500 Watt or greater power supply recommended
With my current setup, will I be able to run the card? Will I have to upgrade my CPU as well. The power consumption between the 4850 and 6850 is pretty close.
HP Pavilion Elite HPE-410t series
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-760 quad-core processor [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
• 6GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [3 DIMMs] from 4GB
• 1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive from 500GB
• 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
• 450W Power Supply
Thanks,
Robert
