• I have a DATE TIME / CMOS / BIOS with my Acer Aspire 5742Z problem

  Hello

  Newbie here...

  I have a strange problem with my Acer Aspire 5742Z (UK), which I think may be the BIOS or CMOS area...

  MAIN PROBLEM

  Guard reset BIOS default time (00: 00:00 on 01/01/2009)... OR... a time '' close '' to what it is supposed to be...

  MAIN STEPS IN THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE ISSUE...  WHAT I'VE DONE

  Removed the main battery and then replaced the CMOS battery twice (in the case of a failure)

  Main battery insert it again.

  The clocks of the BIOS (using F2) countless times, but there's rarely / or is correct.

  STRANGENESS...

  During startup in Windows 7, it almost always does not show the same date and time that I entered the BIOS.

  For example, if I go home at 21:35 on August 28, 2014 using F2, when I boot on Windows, the date and time may say August 23, 2014 at 3:25 pm ish...

  POWER OFF

  If I turn it off and turn off and then turn on, restart the time in BIOS is correct... to 21:43 29/08/2014 (that I have record for good measure).

  If I continue, Windows reads now August 23 at 15:32

  ADJUST the WINDOWS TIM E (UK)

  So, then I change the time of Windows Date to Friday, August 29, 2014 21:48.

  JUST FYI: the PARAMETERS of ZONE SCHEDULE are checked and no changes: (UTC), Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

  PANEL, LANGUAGE AND REGION, English in the United Kingdom, short time 21:48, short Date: 29/08/2014

  GEOGRAPHICAL area: United Kingdom

  now, everything seems correct.

  TURN OFF AGAIN and wait a few minutes.

  YOU turn it back ON, and then press F2 that (this time) shows the BIOS default date and time in 2009

  If I continue in windows without changing the BIOS date and time dafault, Windows now displays as 23:02 31/12/2008

  :-(

  That's all.

  I would really appreciate help fixing this problem that makes me nuts!

  Thanks in advance!

  ...   Just in case anyone reads this...

  I just updated my BIOS for the next issue, and the problem has.

  I guess that maybe the BIOS got corrupted!

  I used the simple approach and no short layout has been involved.  I deliberately did not go for the latest BIOS just in case where he brought new questions and confused the situation.

• Can my aspire am3470-uc30p upgrade gpu?

  Can my aspire am3470-uc30p upgrade gpu?

  Oh, ok. You asked if the gpu could be improved, not the cpu. Thank you for pointing this out. Of the record, this has an A8-3800 AMD inside. I don't think this can be improved more. I see that other models with processor A6, but the highest I see here is the A8 processor that you already have. The motherboard is usually designed for certain processors and it seems that it is the highest it can go. I hope this helps.

• Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2 - HDD upgrade advice

  Hello

  I would really appreciate the help as I'm going round in circles. I have a Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2, and I want to replace the HARD drive and install Windows 7, what is the best HARD drive I can get to the laptop?

  Also, what is the maxium of RAM I can install in your laptop.

  Any advice would be great machines running lately and I think that the HARD drive has a bad sector in it.

  See you soon,.

  James

  Best HARD drive? For that matter I n t I answer. You don't have compatible HARD DRIVE but need to better. According to the specifications of the laptop your drive HARD original was 250 GB SATA HDD.
  I have my HDD Samsung A300 inside. Visit your local dealer and buy high quality with 300 or 400 GB SATA 2.5 HARD drive maybe. It will be sufficient, I think. We Toshiba, Samsung or Hitachi HARD drive. Check the price and decision.

  RAM upgrade: your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM. no more than that. If you have 2 GB inside buy more RAM of 2 GB module. 2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  Good bye

• HDD upgrade on Satellite M70 (PSM71)

  Hi all

  After upgrading to 2 GB system memory, it was clear my HARD drive slow down the entire system with its noisy race. But looking at the list of "drives hard compatitable" doesn't bring much because there are all external solutions. So I searched and found a few hard drives internal seagate but I don't know if they are compatitable with Satellite M70. M70 does support ultra ATA or SATA?

  I have an external SATA HDD and can observe the difference in speed, clearly that's why I'm ready to upgrade the internal system HDD 5400 to 7200 RPM. As well, but I still don't know if M70 supports Sata or Ultra ATA drives. Need help at this point.

  Best regards

  Hello

  Bus Master IDE
  9.5 m/m, 2.5 HDD support up to 100 GB
  Rotational speed 5400/4200
  SATA and ATA parallel

  The 7200 RPM hard disks are not listed, but I don t think that this could be a problem...

• Satellite Pro M10 HDD Upgrade - how will work?

  Hello

  I have a question I have a Satellite Pro M10 (PS630E-G207W-GR) and I want to change the hard drive to a 120 GB + HARD drive so I called the Supporthotline because I need the Windows CD and they mean that would work with a new HARD drive, because the Bios does not the new HARD drive, and he was not told why. Now the question is, if it works with an update of the bios, or if maybe there is already a person here with a working 100 GB + HDD from the laptop.

  and sorry for my very bad English

  Hello

  If you are not satisfied with the answers provided by the support, you can also try to communicate with several independent services for hardware upgrade. As far as I know, they are able to manipulate the BIOS to work with hard disks are not supported. Maybe this solution is for you.

  At least on this forum, you can find topics where users of laptops repost on an improvement of HARD drive (more than 100 GB) successfully with older models as your M10. You can order 120 GB of HARD drive and try to use it. If this does not work you can send it back. To do this, you have about 14 days. Test it!

• G6-2301ax: g6-2301ax hdd upgrade to ssd.

  last 2months.my labtop(g6-2301ax) is so slow (always the start-up time more than 2 minutes and runnig so slow program) that I intend to level hdd to ssd (samsung 850 evo) so I 3questions.
  1. This ssd comparible with my labtop?
  2.slow - operation problems relationship with hard disk or other hardware (processor, memory, etc...)?

  The SSD is compatible. Difficult to say why the laptop is so slow. The A8 processor should be sufficient. 4 to 8 GB RAM upgrade might be a good idea, too. Before you spend money on hardware upgrade, however, I run a complete diagnosis of the hardware test in the diagnosis of UEFI by typing esc or F2 as you power and proceed to "diagnoses" and run all the tests.

• Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

  I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

  I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

  Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

  This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
  Thank you!

  Hi magicmat,

  Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

  Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

  So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

• Portege R100 and HDD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Portege R100 and I want to upgrade the 40 GB HARD disk. What is the highest size that I could upgrade using Toshiba or not Toshiba HDD?
  There are 1.8 "SSD? What would be the best way to update?

  Thank you
  Romeo

  I have an old Portege 2000 and it's almost the same specifications your one, but my has been delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive. I've updated it with 60 GB and it works perfectly.
  I can understand your wishes on the HARD drive upgrade, but I recommend you to be a little more realistic and spend it is logical and understandable for this older model laptop.

  So I can confirm that 60 GB HARD drive will be working well. Maybe you can use the HARD disk with more capacity, but Toshiba is now your Portege with 40 GB max. What you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask them if they have more experiences with the hardware upgrade on this laptop.

  To be honest, this laptop is not designed for multimedia stuff and in fact 60 GB HARD drive is quite enough for the installation of applications and for the registration of all the important things like maybe a few videos, photos and office documents.

  What you want to do with this laptop?

• Satellite L30-134 - after HDD upgrade PC freezes and won't start

  Hello
  I upgraded my Satellite L30-134 of the standard 60 GB HDD for a new 120 GB. After that, I have the following problem:

  (1) after installing XP form to the recovery House DVDs works fine but after that 2-3 weeks of normal use it instantly freeze pc and after hard reboot the OP start up can do anything but to format the HARD drive. After that format cannot install original XP and Vista, the progress bar show me that the installation is complete but after reboot, nothing happens. This problem persists long wery. After 3-4 clean up one after another the pc starts and runs very well about 3 weeks. What is the problem? Any idea?

  (2) when I first install Vista or Linux PC is runing fine, but not in normal parameters. Always freeze but after hard reset works fine for about 2-3 days. When I install XP first that the PC is useles after hard reboot the only thing I can do is to format the HARD drive and do a clean install.

  PS: The HARD disk is produced Original Toshiba.

  Hello

  This strange boyfriend s but to me it sounds like that, these problems are caused from the new HARD drive that may be defective.

  I think you should test the HDD using Hitachi Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive test.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  Good luck and give us feedback, what happened! :)
