At startup, the computer beeps very - Compaq Presario s # 31316953

I bought a Compaq Presario s3310 om (2600 + amd athlon with XP Home Edition.) S # 31316953)

When I start the computer the computer beeps continiously and nothing happens after that. I did some research and would like to confirm that it is a RAM problem. The original Ram has 512 MB of ddr sdram memory. I did a search on the diagnosis Compaq Bios Beep codes and a beep very indicates error memory - reinstall or replace and re test. I'm on the right track?

Nothing is lost by air, dust off the RAM slots.  Not sure you interpretation of the beep codes are correct.

What is more troublesome is buying a vintage 2003-04 machine that did not work. In addition, reinstall all the other cards.

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

    FatherDal wrote: Dear Hanspuppa, thank you very much for your help.  Actions suggested by your response seems to have solved my problem.

    Hello FatherDal, it's really good news. If you have determined that your system has at least one memory defective Strip, and you want to replace the defective module, you can consider replacing all the memory modules and purchase of some additional memory that can increase the performance of your system.

    Here is the link to the specifications for your system. It shows that your system shipped with 2 GB of memory system.

    It also shows the system supports up to 4 GB of memory system and your system shipped with Vista x 86 (32 bit).

    All 32-bit operating systems can only recognize up to 3.25 GB to 3.5 GB of memory. The x 64 bit version can recognize 4 GBs whole memory system.

    I would say that the upgrade of your system memory to 4 GB into 4 X 1 GB modules. Even if your current operating system would recognize the 4 GBs set of system memory, you should see a performance increase with additional memory.

    Here is the memory critical link where you can buy compatible memory for your Compaq system.

  • Unable to connect to the internet with my Compaq Presario CQ5500F after a clean install of Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I recently did a clean install on my Compaq Presario CQ5500F desktop, but when I finished, I realized that I could not connect to wireless internet almost anything. To clarify, my internet worked before the clean install. I know exactly of what readers have been installed, but I do not know the network controller has a yellow question mark on it now. (See attached image)

    In addition, it seems that the computer does not have a wireless card although I was previously using an omnidirectional antenna external wireless connected to my wifi.

    I have already visited the HP/Compaq site here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4209... to install the drivers, but it seems that the network controller, it does not install correctly.

    Can someone help me please? I am very frustrated.

    In fact, I just solved it!

    I looked up the material ID I had just posted on Google and found that someone had the driver on his Skydrivefiles. Then I followed their instructions and went into the Device Manager and selected Update driver the driver of your properties of network adapters tab and pointed on the expanded files.

    Turns out I need files for Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN Card.

    Everything works again!

  • At the opening of my Compaq Presario I get the Microsoft message "Printer Card transfer Monitor has stopped working"

    I have a Lexmark X 6570 all in one. I tried to restore to comm. between the printer and my Compaq. I uninstalled the Lexmark program (twice) and then downloaded the latest driver from Lexmark, but always the same message. What can I do to recover my printer? It is very important for me. In addition, the message in the window of the printer when I try to scan shows "cannot download the application list. Can someone help me with this? As you can probably see, I'm not very 'computer', but I can follow directions! Thank you and have a great day!

    I assume you are using the wireless printer. You have made no changes to the network recently? For example, new router or wireless password has changed.

    For the problem of scan, I found the following procedure works.

    • Enter the IP address of the printer in the address bar of your browser and press ENTER. If you do not know the IP address, print a Network Setup page using the procedure shown on page 52 of thehttp://www.lexmark.com/publications/pdfs/2007/6500/v4897402_en.pdf user's guide. The address will be probably 192.168.x.y where x.y is the number assigned to the printer.
    • Now, you will be connected to an administrative page on the printer.
    • Select Configuration.
    • Select a scan in the management of network hosts.
    • Check users to delete all registered.
    • Select Remove.
    • Try to start a new search.
