BIOS and memory

I need to upgrade memory on my SR2163WM PC using 2-1 GB cards. Witch means remove the 512 MB of original card. Should I save memory of this card, if so how do I do that or is it stored in C drive. Also should I upgrade the BIOS before the memory Upgrade, I downloaded if necessary. Thanks for help ay. Risingsun

  • HP DV6 of the computer stopped working after the update of the Bios and Memoryupgrade

    HP DV6 - 3161EO

    XE068EA #UUW

    Hi, I bought a brand new HP with Intel I5 processor computer and GUI double, its been working well so far and I thought that I should upgrade the Bios and memory as well.

    So I did, I bought memory 10600 and crusial 12600 and corsair, a single and two put in correspondence of the sticks, just to be in business, and I've updated the bios. of F.13 to F.29

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063&LC=SV&CC=se&DLC=SV&sw_lang=&product=4344...

    The computer worked perfectly for about 4-5 hours, then there are allmost quite dead.

    Ive tried to pass on different memorycabsm like the original samsungs that came with the computer.

    Ive tried the famous "hard reset".

    Nothing, the computer starts "boots" but don't approach the entered message turnes off.

    Presedure same each time.

    Any memory I put in, the same result.

    Ive used different powerbricks, turned of the computer resets hard, between 10s 2 min, picked up the bios battery, has offered free energy.

    Let the rest of the computer for half a day, put it all together exept cmos battery = exactly the same as before.

    "take out all the memories and the computer works and get that caps lock flashing light.

    So my question is this

    Why you encourage people to update, when it's clearly the fault at hand.

    Sell your computers with 8 GB of ram from the beginning so the people do not have upgraded later because your hardware is not able to manage different memorycaps of accepted and authorized as crusial or corsair providers.

    Ive built perhaps 50-60 computers and had about 10 laptops and NEVER had a fault like this.

    My laptop $1200 is useless, and I actually held you at HP responsible of it.

    The computer is of course out of warranty, so its my own falult, as usual.

    «A simple question, is there a way to 'force' a new bios on the Board, without memory of the computer, because it is the only time where it works and works welll.»

    Thnx, 'a sick owner HP.

    For later use, it's really kff upward, but I got it working again.

    1 changed the original memorycabs for much faster, 1600 mhz, I know that this mobo doesn't support, but he did start the computer, so I could run the Windows + arrows Bios recover.

    Installed the HP bios tools F10 + GIS and it worked.

    so I guess I have to myself a thank you and a boost of the kudosbutton, hahah

    Well, when your computer went down, don't give up and try everything you can, this prob took me about 3-4 days to eradicate, but now its working again.

    See you soon

  • Toshiba A50-frequency of 106:FSB Bus and memory problem

    Hello
    I have a problem with my new Toshiba A50-106. There are Celeron M 1, 5 GHz inside. That all specifications for this processor FSB speed should be 4x100MHz and for my memory bus speed should be 2 x 133, but when I check in SiSoft Sandra 2004 I see 4x187MHz (748 MHz) FSB and the speed of the Bus of Mem 2x249MHz (4 98 MHz). I can't fix it myself, because there is no such option in the BIOS and there is no standard software from Toshiba.
    Consequence of this is the problem of the temperature of my cpu. It is on average 54 c in an idle state.
    Perhaps you have had the same problem or knows what is in him and you can help me.
    What is a temperature average of your Celeron M?

    Thank you in advance,
    Michael

    Hi michael,.

    to your first question, have you run Sandra 2004 in battery mode because in battery mode CPU manages to set the speed of the FSB and memory also bus speed!

    So, try once more on AC power mode and let me know the results.

    Also, you should check these results with different bechmarking systems because these programs work differently.

    @ temperature problem: there is problem o with 54 HP. The home page of intel, said a 125 C is the maximum and then the CPU stops automatically!

  • Satellite L10-117 and memory upgrade problem.

  • Graphics update and memory for my A30 161

    My Satellite A30 161 uses 64MBRadeon and 512 MB of memory, the way I use it from the moment looks like im will need an upgrade on my chart and memory. Toshiba can this do?

    Hello

    I think that your graphics card shares its main memory with your RAM and you should be able to adjust the amount of memory allocated to your VGA card since then in the BIOS. The maximum value allowed is 128 MB and can be selected in UMA memory allocation in your BIOS settings. Note that it will have to reduce your available RAM as a result.

  • D10 BIOS AND O/S SHOWING ONLY HALF THE RAM INSTALLED

    Computor was purchased with 8 1gig chips installed. The bios and the operating system report 4 GB.

    When I remove the ram in slot 2, 4, 6 and 8, the bios and the o/s report 2 gig.

    I have cleared the cmos memory and reinstall the RAM chips.

    Although the seller insists on the memory chips live are all good, I think that my next step would be to draw all and reinstall them one by one. What is the best way to do this, start with slot 1 and 3 and then add one piece at a time and restart?

    The problem has been resolved. It turns out that the RAM chips come from different manufacturers. 6 microns and 2 Samsung. All the chips worked well within the brand but do not work well together, I guess with some timing differences. I got all installed Samsung and all 8 concerts now appear.

  • Bad Bios and laptop does not start

    One day, I tried to run an update of the bios and I now know that I made the biggest mistake by forcing my laptop off while running. It's a sudden reaction when my laptop had seemed frozen. I was reading on the update file/app/what is to have all closed while it performs this update but if tempting as I couldn't move my cursor and I had not yet started the update, just opened. After forcing to close, I cut on and get nothing more than a black screen, no light in the display. Y at - it any way to solve this problem at all? I went to someone about this issue, they said that I might need a new motherboard I want to buy because I just think that I mind as well buy a new laptop instead.

    Acer Aspire One ZA3 netbook
    Windows Vista

    That's all I know of memory and what is on the laptop

    Hello

    The BIOS is for the motherboard.

    And we cannot help you with BIOS problems.

    You will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer; Acer.

    If you put the wrong BIOS you can ruin your motherboard.

  • Hard drive shows in the Bios and Device Manager but not in disk management.

    I recently had a hard drive fail because of the excessive heat in the computer case (he also took a memory too). When I plug the drive as a secondary drive in any computer it will appear in the Bios and the Manager of devices, but not in disk management, nor can it be considered be as ZAR and Spinrite disk utility.

    The disc spins up and down when turned on and seems to work. Just trying to recover data from the disk, so I can put it on a new drive.

    Any ideas?

    If its not shown in disk management I would use this bootable HD to the utility check disk (probably all riders is set correctly?)

  • Failed hard drive on HP laptop. After replacement, can I put OS and memory?

    I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebook PC, model dv9617nr (HP pn GS730UA).  An error message at startup says "Operating system not found" so my Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (updated two years ago) does not load. I guess that means that my hard drive has failed. How can I test this hypothesis? Yet once, guess I am not mistaken, and I ordered the recommended replacement (pn 590736-001 HP) of spare parts warehouse ($142.50 plus port charges). Are there instructions on internet to make this replacement? After I do this replacement, I thought I could install Windows 7 I have and upgrade to 4 GB SODIMM the 1 GB SODIMM memory that originally served as. What problems I have with hardware compatibility with Windows 7? If the memory module that I use has the same features as the HP recommended replacement (pn 598861-001 HP), i.e. 800 MHz, 200 pins, PC2-6400, SDRAM, but greater capacity memory of 4 GB, I have compatibility problems to use it? Please advise me on these issues. Thanks, Jeff

    Hi, Jeff:

    Let me knock your question...

    First, to confirm that your HARD drive is dead, go into your BIOS menu. There should be a diagnostic utility hard disk and memory.  Run the HARD drive Diagnostics utility and see what it reports. More that likely that the disk HARD fell down, and is more usable.

    You can order a replacement disk or you can get just about any hard drive SATA II - 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM.

    You could go to 250 to 500 GB, if you choose. Unfortunately at the present time, HARD drive prices are unreasonably high due to the flooding in Thailand, where many HARD drive manufacturing plants. Some have been damaged heavily, causing HARD drive prices triple almost from one day to the next.

    This is a disc, you can get that I think is better than what you have now: this one is 7 200 RPM. Faster but uses more energy.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822136279

    You can get the version of 5400 RPM... too similar. Not as good as the caviar black. It's more along the line of what you would get at HP.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822136387

    Read the comments at the same time, or you are free to get HP.

    There are instructions for installing the hard drive and memory on your laptop support and driver page. Click on the manuals on the right side of the page.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01278446

    So, you want to watch the maintenance and care guide.

    You can upgrade the memory to a maximum of 4 GB by using 2 x 2 GB memory PC2-6400. You can get it at HP, or you can get it on the link below. It is the memory that I use. In fact I just ordered this same memory to install my sister-in-law in dv6700.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820148159

    Now you can install W7 very well. I installed W7 Home Premium 64 bit on my dv6810us which has pretty much the same material as your and 4 GB of memory (the same that I posted above).

    However, here's the catch. It depends on what version of W7 you have. If you have a W7 upgrade version, you must install a qualifying operating system on the hard disk before you can improve.

    If you have a full version of Windows 7, then you can install it on a blank hard drive.

    If you have the version upgrade, contact the HP support and ordering a set of recovery disks Vista. Install Vista, then uprade to W7 if you have the updated release of W7.

    You can use the vista drivers support page of your laptop for all the drivers you need that W7 has no power.

    One thing... NOT (updated flash) BIOS while running Windows 7. You can Flash only using windows vista.

    I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please let us know.

  • Bluetooth and memory card in my laptop HP 240 G3 doesn't work!

    Please... this the correct driver file, I need in my notebook for bluetooth and memory card work! I've downloaded several, but continue working... =)

    Hello:

    Your model does not include built in bluetooth network.

    The Atheros wireless network adapter is only wireless, not an adapter without wireless/bluetooth combination.

    You need this driver for the SD card reader...

    This package contains the driver that allows the Realtek card reader in laptop models running a supported operating system. The card reader allows users to read or write to removable storage cards supported, which are typically used in digital cameras, digital music players and cell phones.

  • Computer laptop keyboard and mouse does not work (updated Bios and took the batttery)

    I have HP G60-530US.

    I read all the posts that talked about updating the BIOS and then by doing a hard reset by removing the power cable and speaking on the battery and then hit the power button for a minute or simply to leave the computer for several minutes.

    A lot of people seems to have solved their problems.  Not me.

    I updated the BIOS and also did the hard reset like 10 times.  What other options are there?

    I have Windows 7-64 bit.  This problem occurred after I did the updates windows 11/04/13 or 12/04/13.

    Mouse power switch and the power button wifi button keys are the only ones that seem to work.

    Hello

    Go back to the device, right click on the Device Manager and select uninstall - when it is finished, restart the laptop.

    Any change?

  • Window Media Player.exe using 100% of CPU and memory

    I have a Pavilion dv4-2145-dx Windows 7 Ultimate SP1, 4 GB of memory. Windows Media Player.exe supports my CPU 100% usage and it is striking all my memory - 4 GB.   It started right after I set up a homegroup.

    I had to go into Admin/service and change the Startup Type to disabled for:

    • Windows Media Center Receiver Service
    • The window media services planning service
    • Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service

    I tried setting services to manual, but Windows Media Player has yet caught all the CPU and memory, he could then I disabled all the.

    I do not know how to disable homegroup and Windows Media Player services work together so I wonder if everything is always operate has designed with the homegroup and sharing my music.

    Hello

    I think this explains the problem.  The 2 entries here should be deleted, because the first will try to index all of your user profile and the second will attempt to index all of the Windows Partition.

    C:\Users\Rick

    C:\

    To remove them, click to the left of the entrance, highlight it, and then click Remove.  When these two entries have been removed, reboot the laptop and you should find that the problem has been resolved.
