BEEPS from the BIOS - 107EM Presario CQ60

Hello

I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 under Vista with an AMD Sempron if-40. 3 GB RAM Phoenix BIOS.

I have now when turn on about 30 Bios beeps pause 4 bleeps 6 beeps pause then the Windows boot manager asks me to launch Vista.

Once in the window, the cursor extends the fast uintil on the start menu, I hit the left or right arrow key. then it stops and all is well.

I did a full factory reset and still the same problem. I can't find answers on the web for why.

People help you?

I think that you have a stuck in arrow.  You may need to disconnect your laptop keyboard and try externally and see if all goes well.  If so, you can find a keyboard replacement for probably less than $10 on eBay. Try to gently run your hand on all the keys to see if you can take them off.

  • The beeps from the BIOS and graphics problem

    1. when I start my computer (h9-1350), I get 6 short beeps, the computer is for a just half a minute, then continue to boot normally. I think it has something to do with a keyboard. I tried two different keyboards... KB USB provided with the computer and solar keyboard K750 from Logitech. He also sometimes appears an error message that I did not copy but the message said something about a keyboard.

    2. I can't get into BIOS to do the steps from HP FAQ Web site provides for the installation of a spare video card. As does the 6 beeps from the computer and then boots normally apparently it does not the button configuration screens to access the BIOS.

    The computer is a HP h9-1350 with Win8.

    H9-1350 HP / Intel i7 3770 / 12 GB
    Windows 8 / HP w2207 monitor / Radeon 6870
    Keurig ready for a coffee or Cup of hot tea

    Okay, I think that we have a fix/resolve. I found the LEGACY (just above), set it to Enable. I replaced the OEM video card with my Radeon 6870 and it booted right up less beeps. Thanks for the help.

    BTW, where can I find more information about this 'new' (for me at least) UEFI BIOS? I had no idea what Win8 make this change.

    Thanks again.

  • Tecra S1 starts correctly but does not work properly and beeps from the BIOS error

    Toshiba S1 began to regularly plant after a certain period of use.

    Sometimes: BIOS error beeps: short-short-long.
    Sometimes: Blue screen of reduced resolution or screen size reduced.
    Sometimes: Just freezes (frozen) and must be turned off manually.

    Toshiba uses its own BIOS, no one knows what these sounds average beep or can provide support?
    It is a hardware / connection problem between map chart and monitor or is it an error of memory?

    Hello

    tried to do a memory test? If this isn't the case, I suggest you to do. For these tests, I would prefer to use "memtest86" (www.memtest86.com)
    Otherwise I guess that your motherboard is faulty and you need to bring your machine to a local ASP.

    If you need help to find an ASP, here's a good site:

  • How do we uninstall sound card from the bios on a Satellite L40?

    I bought a Creative Soundblaster 5.1 and install having problems with him. The technical team was advised to uninstall or diasble internal sound card via Device Manager. Tried and every time computer re - starts the sound card is re-installed.

    The team informed that I should uninstall it from the bios. I have only a very basic knowledge of computers, it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the direction of the instructions, or guide me through it.

    I have a portable Satellite L40 and Vista works on the computer.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paul

    I got some bad news! You can't disable the sound card in the BIOS. The BIOS for laptops is just different as BIOS for the desktop PC and the menus are not the same.

    +*@McMadkat*+
    Please don t be angry with me, but I think that your suggestion is wrong.

    The sound card may be disabled in the Windows operating system device manager

  • How to enable Hyper-v from the BIOS in book pro 430 G1

    In fact, hyper-v has a tick perfect on windows 8 but when I start windows mobile emulator it gives error hyper v and then I tried to go from the bios, there is no option for hyper v then how should I allow it?

    Can you put a picture of the BIOS screen you see?

    You should be able to activate the virtualization of in the BIOS. Do you use the BIOS as an administrator?

    I suggest that you update your BIOS to the current version. This should return the ability to enable virtualization.

  • Can E540 - I disable discrete gpu (Optimus) from the BIOS?

    Hello.

    I think with the purchase of a Thinkpad E540 with a gpu discrete nvidia.

    I intend to install linux on it and I really need optimus for him (nor is it well supported), but sometimes I'd like to be able to use it under windows.

    I would like to know if it is possible to completely disable the gpu nvidia from the BIOS so that it only works with the intel integrated an or should I buy one with gpu intel only.

    I read that the lenovo changed the implementation of bi - gpu on the newer generation thinkpads.

    I did some research but I couldn't know exactly what are the BIOS options; most of the results are on older laptops of gen.

    If any owner of this specific model could anwser would be great

    Please attach a screenshot of the settings of the bios if possible.

    Thank you.

    When you switch to discrete nvidia fits in the lowest power state, basically it is turned off. It will not be displayed in the Device Manager.

  • Pavilion tx1410us - error messages from the BIOS disk Test

    My first post here so greetings and a happy new year to all.

    I have a Pavilion tx1410us who seems to have a hard drive problem. I have Vista (Partition 2 - 60 2 GB as/dev/sda2) and Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (1-1 St 20 GB as/dev/sda1 Partition) on the first partition and am getting ATA DMA error messages 2 and on the console when running Ubuntu.

    When I had Vista on the first part of the disc I was getting a lot of errors on Vista.

    I ran check disk for bad blocks, but several seem to be coming.

    Last night I ran the test of the drive from the BIOS twice and twice got them the same "Test #2-07 failure" error message. The text is perhaps not quite correct, but the "#2-07" is certainly.

    Does anyone have a reference to what the BIOS messages mean?

    With the errors appear to come from the same part of the disk that would lead me to believe that it's the hard drive itself which is a failure, but I want to be sure that it is not the disk controller until I get a new hard drive.

    It was close in the past, but we are now very careful to use only on a surface hard and keep the vents unblocked so I think I can have escaped heating problems that seem to dog these machines.

    If someone is under Linux, you can install the monitor CPU cmdlets and the temperature of the system that can sit on your desktop and show you the temperatures constantly. Very useful. Interesting to see the speed at which the processor gets hot when editing or video processing.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Andy

    Hi Andy,.

    The error message definetely is hard even though I'm not sure what #2 refers to other it can tell the difference between the short and complete test.  This, and the fact that more unusable blocks are appearing constantly in all point to the failure of the HARD drive.

    Best wishes

    You need a Microsoft DVD to do a startup repair, or a restoration of the system, thanks to this Guide.

    Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

    Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

    If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

    If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

    Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  • TPM options disappear from the BIOS

    We use MBAM to manage our devices for Bitlocker TPM and once the user restarts the PC, he is invited to the recovery key.  On the problem PC, we found that the TPM settings no longer even not in the BIOS.  The PCs encrypted with success if the TPM was working but now ceases to exist.  Does anyone else know totally TPM module options disappear from the BIOS?  Any possible solutions?

    Thanks for the reply of Larson, but we found that it had to reflash the BIOS for the device to reappear again.

  • Compaq Presario CQ60-210US lab: the laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-210US does support Windows 7 64-bit OS

    Hello.  I know for my brother, if his Compaq Presario CQ60-210US laptop that is running Vista 32-bit operating system, can be upgraded to a 64-bit version/edition of Windows 7, 8.1/8 or 10?   As stated, the laptop OS is Vista 32 bit, and I think that's Vista Home Premium, but I'm not sure.  It has 4 GB of RAM, which is the maximum for a 32 bit OS.   I realize that you can do an upgrade on the spot of a 32-bit operating system to a 64-bit OS and it will take a clean install, but nobody knows if material of this laptop, BIOS etc supports 64-bit operating systems?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It is my opinion, to you, you can run 64-bit or 32-bit. Sogtware much still run as 32-bit anyway.

    Kind regards.

  • Compaq Presario CQ57-445EQ: recovery of the BIOS Compaq Presario CQ57 445EQ

    So I got this Compaq Presario CQ57-445EQ with Windows 7 and 4 GB of ram. Last night I tried to upgrade the BIOS of the first version (2008) to the last (2015) and he got bricks. During the upgrade, it got stuck for 30 minutes and I had to reboot. Now it is black screen, caps lock shift will blink twice every 2 seconds. I tried to recover from USB with sp55356 and sp64612 but no luck.

    I should mention that Win + B, Fn + B, Fn + Esc combinations is not the tone of the laptop, but it shows a USB activity.

    What can I do? Bios versions are .fd files.

    Thanks in advance!

    Not that I know of.

    You may need to purchase recovery media usb to your laptop to HP or HP partner.

  • Pavilion g7 2325dx: info from the BIOS for a correct start of the drive to a new hard drive windows

    My hard drive is dead and he needed replacement. Did. Had initially been Windows8, but upgraded to Windows 10. Impossible to re boot with drives of resettlement. Need BIOS startup specs, screen info to use disks.

    Hey Bettyboophume,

    No worries! If you have recovery media, you should be able to put it in and have the laptop back on it. However, just in case where that is not the case for you, there is a document called configuration of the Boot in the BIOS system order.

    The boot order can be configured on the Advanced tab in the BIOS Setup menu. The procedure for changing the boot order may vary according to the model of the computer.

    HP Pavilion Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide of g7, on page 90, Chapter 7, backup, restore, and recovery (Windows 8) you will see that it says:

    Change the order of computer startup if the computer does not restart in HP Recovery Manager, you can change the order of the computer startup, which is of the order of the devices listed in the BIOS where the computer searches the startup information. You can change the selection to an optical drive or a USB flash drive.

    To change the boot order:

    1. Insert the HP Recovery Media, that you have created.

    2 restart the computer.

    3. press on and hold esc while restarting the computer and then press f9 to boot options.

    4. Select the optical drive or you want to boot from USB flash drive.

    5. follow the on-screen instructions.

    I hope this helps!

    I would like to know how it goes

  • Over 2 years factory restore, Windows 8 Gateway fails to validate Windows 8 from the bios encrypted

    Hi all. For two weeks now, I tried to help a veteran 84-year difficulty his virus infected Office Windows 8 Gateway (Walmart) age of 2 years old.

    The poor old man was a PC buyer first time when he bought this PC two years ago & didn't have understand the consequences of not renewing its 60-day trial version antivirus. Therefore after continuing to run his PC online almost two years later, it was badly infected. I went there to help a couple of weeks & he was clearly infected. I installed Malewarebytes, which found more than 2100 malewares & 7 Trojan horses...

    I used the factory at the same time restore within Windows 8 boot, & of course, it works but will not validate Windows 8 once it ends. I even tried to clear cmos without result. He can simply read the product ID key encrypted from the UEFI bios.

    I could go in another (horrible) story about a third out of the seller of the security assistance Acer references on their site, but in reality what good it would do at this point?

    Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Thanks in advance for your time, review, & effort!

    Kind regards

    Frank

    I would try to use the Microsoft phone activation before installing windows 7 (it must define Roop, disable startup secure, sometimes you need to update your BIOS too to have the option of CSM)

    Press Office windows 8:

    the Windows logo key + r

    type

    slui.exe 4

    Press enter

    Choose to activate by phone and follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Cannot install clean Windows 8.1 get pick up the product key from the BIOS

    I have Acer S3-391 with a pre-installed 8 Win. First, I thought that I would like to downgrade to Win 7 Pro as I am used to Win 7. So, I

    remove the recovery partition from Acer Windows 8 on my hard drive and installed Win 7 Pro (with my own product key) on this subject. Also, I've updated to version 2.17 UEFI BIOS.

    Now I decided to reinstall Win 8 on my laptop, but I am running into a problem:

    As I deleted the original recovery partition which included all the bloatware is it came with, I use a Windows 8.1 cleaning ISO image trasnferred a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive. It's actually an ISO Windows 8.1 Professional, but I added the file 'ei.cfg' "basic" settings and "OEM" inside. So he installed a clean Windows 8.1 with UEFI BIOS setting, but it will not pick up a product key from the UEFI BIOS. It assigns a generic key and I can't activate it with Microsoft.

    Any suggestions to make it meet on the embeded BIOS product key without ordering a recovery DVD set for $45 at Acer?

    Thank you.

    You're right, it comes with 8.0 OEM. Last night, I found Win 8.0 ISO, modified with the folder $ $OEM and activated!
