nothing like someone who has no knowledge of hardware or software design deciding it's got to be a bios issue
i also like the fact that you feel describing the problem you are having is not required for attempting a solution from other users

Re: Z820 motherboard installation
Thanks. I was being cautious. I just gently pushed down on the back connectors and it slid in. It was just a bit snug. I’m always careful not to force things. This needed a little convincing. I was trying to delete this post so as not to bother people. Can’t find a delete button. Lol

Re: HP Z800 Wokstation Performs very poor.
Even though I did not ask for advice, it is always good to hear from the community... 🙂 what makes you think that I know nothing about hardware or software? For years, people have been complaining about the slow dog of a performance regarding the HP Z800 and for years people have been suggesting all the wrong things thinking it will help solve the problems they are having.... The reality is that you can install the best and the fastest processors compatible for this machine and install a ton of memory in it and it is not gonna make any difference whatsoever.... let's admit it, IT IS A SLOW DOG! My old desktops/laptops perform better than this workstation! HP Should be ashamed of themselves for selling a product like this. We know that the problem is not the memory or the processors or the graphics card or the raid card... That leaves us with the slow DOG of a System Board and the firmware running on it!

Re: Z820 motherboard installation
No. I was trying to delete my post as what happened wasn’t exactly a stand-off issue. I discovered that if I gently pushed down on the Ethernet block it would slide under. The posts were in the holes and were able to slide but not all the way until I applied some downwards pressure.

Re: HP Z800 Wokstation Performs very poor.
first of all you did ask for advice when you posted in this forum
second, the number of people complaining about a slow z800 is quite low on this forum
third if there was a firmware related issue with the z800 it would be reasonable to understand that it would have been previously reported and fixed during the z800's active service lifetime,....... and posts like yours are not really valid since you still haven't actually posted any description of a problem
fourth, the z800 is actually quite fast even nowadays as users on this forum can attest to
if all you want to do is vent, then consider it done and move on, if on the other hand you would like some help try politely describing the issue in more specific terms than your current "it's slow and it sucks" posting

Re: HP Z800 Wokstation Performs very poor.
Posting a message in this forum does not constitute "asking for help". After all the complaints made over the years, if HP has not done anything about it could mean : a) They are ignoring the problems even though they are aware of the problems. b) if it is a hardware issue, where they have to replace the system board due to a manufacturing defect, this would not be in the HP's interest to do a recall or anything like that since it would be too embarrassing and costly for them to do.. so, it is better to sweep it under the rug and ignore it... c) HP never had any intent for this model to work the way it should (mal intent). d) the hardware is ok. but the firmware sucks. You take a guess...
if HP wants to replace my system board on this machine free of charge to prove me wrong. I would be open to such an arrangement. I am challenging them to do so... I am still going to bet that it will make no difference.... if I had paid a full price for this workstation, you would have seen me in a court room instead of a message posted in this forum... Those who did, should ask for a refund from HP... So far, all the complaints made by others fell on deaf ears at HP. I am hoping my complaints and venting do not fall on deaf ears...

Re: HP Z800 Wokstation Performs very poor.
Yeah, I want a bunch of freebies from HP too. Slather them on.
Or, maybe you have not spent the time to learn details of how to make these workstations function to their full potential.
My advice is to put in the time and ask some intelligent questions. Or, move on. I've been helping others here for over 10 years and you stand out from the norm.

Dock ethernet connection
When I connect the docking station to my zBook, it would not pick up the ethernet. Have tried the dock with different PC and other docks of same model as well. I think There a driver issue that is causing the problem. In the Thunderbolt Software Settings, I have Approved the Attached Device.

HP-Z620 Shuts Down On Its Own and Power Button Flashes Red
HP-Z620 shuts down on Its own and Power Button blinks in red. I have had large files to download--approx. 70+ hours to download them all. The Z620 keeps shutting down and when I notice it the power button/start up button is flashing red. When I press the Power Button it turns blue and Windows 10 and the Z620 start up normally with no error messages from Windows 10 at the startup.
Could any give me any solutions. One approach would be to download some HP Hardware analysis utility that could check if the PC is overheating, so if fans are working OK or whatever.
Any suggestions are welcomed. My computer is old so I am not entitled to any detailed support from HP without paying fees.

Re: HP-Z620 Shuts Down On Its Own and Power Button Flashes Red
There is a downloadable Service Guide at this address, and this is version 5:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04205252
On pages 145-147 the blink codes are described. In my experience you likely have a power supply going bad. There is just one power supply for the Z620.... some other workstations have two, one regular and one for high wattage configurations. The Z620 power supply is very easy to unplug and replace, with many available used off eBay. I'd not hesitate to buy a used one.... and have. Go to eBay and search for "Z620 power supply" and you can sort by price + shipping lowest.... and find them there for as little as 30.00 USD . I'd buy only from a US well rated eBay seller. These come from Z620s that are being parted out after retirement.
It could be something else, of course, and the "beep/blink codes" should help you narrow things down. Sounds intermittent, and those can be hard to figure out.
Best of luck to you on your project!

Power Button Blue Light
Until recently my HP Z440 Workstation used to go asleep after a while, and the monitors would close down too, and a Blue light on the Power Switch would start Flashing. When I hit Any key on the HP keyboard, everything would re-activate, But recently I have noticed that if I leave the Workstation for several hours , the Poer Switch Blue light remains solid ( does not flash ) and the monitors do not close down ?
What can I do to get the Workstation and monitors to go asleep, as they used to /
Kind Regards,
Paul

Re: HP-Z620 Shuts Down On Its Own and Power Button Flashes Red
It could also be a simple over-heating issue, quite common on older computer systems, (unless you live in a temperature and humidity controlled cleanroom). The first thing I would do is open the side door and inspect the inside for any accumulation of dust. It doesn't just restrict the airflow across the heatsinks, dust is also a great thermal insulator. A 1 inch paint brush and a can of compressed air (Amazon, eBay, etc.) can work wonders. The older Quadro graphics card can be prone to getting pretty dirty, causing the computer to shutdown without any pre-warning. I had an old Quadro K4000 card that had this issue, and a friend had a similar issue issue with a K4200 card. A good clean and the problem was gone.
You could also download and install OpenHardwareMonitor to view your CPU, GPU and SSD/HDD drives temperatures in realtime. If you go to the View/Show Plot option in the drop-down menu, you can easily monitor for any temperature trends. If all the temps look fine, then I would look to re-seating any internal connectors, DIMMS, or PCI cards, etc.

HP z620 GPU power connector?
Hello,
I recently purchased a secondhand HP z620 workstation and intend to install an AMD Radeon RX 570 in it, which uses an 8-pin power connector. However, I cannot find any power connectors on the board or power supply. How will I power my GPU?
↧
Re: HP z620 GPU power connector?
why not try using the "search" feature of this forum and look at some of the 20 or so recent questions exactly like yours and read up on the required 6 to 8 pin GPU power adapters which can be bought from amazon/newegg and numerous computer shops
we do get a bit tired answering the exact same question over and over each week
