• HP Compaq Presario CQ42: can I upgrade cpu? HP Compaq Presario CQ42. Core i5 430 m for core i5 3320

  Hello HP.
  I have a question. My laptop is HP Compaq Presario CQ42 and core i5 430 m processor. I want to stretch cpu for the third generation of cpu and the fourth generation cpu. I found it core i5 3320 Mr. Peut work it core i5 3320 m cpu? It can better performance?

  Hello Angaahai ;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post about upgrading your CPU and wanted to help.

  This link is to HP for your PC product page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/Compaq-Presario-CQ42-Notebook-PC-series/4121902/model/4149187/manuals

  If you right-click on the entry of l maintenance and Service Manual, you can download this PDF on your PC.  On page 94, it lists the compatible processors, and on the next page, he begins the removal and replacement procedures.

  Unless you did something like this many times before, I would advise to do it yourself.  It is very hard to do and is easy to break something in the process.  It would be better to have a business service center works on laptops do this for you.

  Good luck

• Upgrade memory of PC Compaq Presario SR2177CL Desktop problem

  I have a Compaq Presario SR2177CL desktop PC.  I checked the specifications of the product on the HP site and this is what it says for the record:

  Memory

   

  Attributes Installed memory 1 GB Maximum allowed 4 GB * (4 x 1 GB)
  * Actual available memory may be less

  Speed supported PC2-4200 MB/sec Type 240 pin DDR2 SDRAM

  I went to newegg and purchased:

  CORSAIR ValueSelect 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Me...

  When I put the pair of DIMMs in the pc, it won't post more.  The screen is still asleep and I never see the bios screen, I can't go in the bios configuration, or whatever it is.  As soon as I remove the pair, it works again.  The PC came with 2 512 MB DIMM in the slot 1 and 2, so I tried to delete those and replacing them with the pair I bought and got the same results.  I buy the bad memory?  I see it should work.

  Thanks in advance for any help and ideas.

  Finally!  I decided to try the suggested crucial.com memory, I went to the city and found in the store of the local computer.  It is plugged in and it works like a charm.  NewEgg gave me a credit on the memory of others when I called them, so everything worked.

• can perform us two actions with a single button in two clicks, one after the other?

  Mr President.
  
  can perform us two actions with a single button in two clicks, one after the other?
  
  I want that when I click on the button Add once it add data to the database and when I click again on this button it clears the form data to the empty fields.
  
  Concerning
  
  Tanvir

  In the code, it should be easy.

  The following code adds that a button called butman with text 'ADD '.
  It then registers a listener that will be called if the user clicks the button.

  This listener then calls the runAddData method if you clicked butman while it contained the text of "ADD" and it calls the runClearData method otherwise.
  That's why he will swap the functionality of the button between ADD and CLEAR on each click.

  final Button butman = new Button("ADD");
  butman.setOnAction(new EventHandler() {
            @Override
            public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
                      if (butman.getText().equals("ADD")) {
                                butman.setText("CLEAR");
                                runAddData();
                      } else {
                                butman.setText("ADD");
                                runClearData();
                      } // END IF-THEN
            }});
  

  I hope that's what you wanted.

  Further reflection.
  You might want to run the ADD and CLEAR methods in their own son so that it can run in the background without slowing down your user interface.

  I also reuse rather a single button for several features instead of to apply with hundreds of nodes used only rarely with masses of code to show and hide as needed.

• How can I activate the AHCI on a Studio 540?

  Hello I recently upgraded my pc to an OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB ssd hard drive and moved my old HDD as a secondary for the storage of music, pictures and video files. I read that using the SSD in AHCI mode will further improve the performance of the disk. My question is how can I activate the AHCI in bios dell. the only im options given are SATA and RAID. Is it possible to run AHCI? Any help is appreciated. I have better than average knowledge with pc, s but far from an expert. Thank you

  If your bios allows, you can find passage to the raid (even if you have only a single boot drive) can put you in ahci mode. Before making the change in the bios, you will have to do some registry tweaks like just change the bios setting you will get a bsod when you start.

  To enable switching between RAID/AHCI/IDE mode, you will need to change the values 'Start' in these key 0

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

  Once you make these changes, restart and set AHCI/raid in BIOS, save the changes and then restart.

• HP Envy 1540T H8: How can I activate the AHCI?

  I installed a new Pro 850 Samsung 1 TB SSD drive which replaced a Samsung 256 GB SSD.  However, I am unable to get the computer to start with I select AHCI mode in the BIOS of the reader.   I can only boot into RAID mode and magician then tells me to activate the AHCI for optimal performance.

  The following system information is provided:

  OS: Windows 8.1 64bits

  Chipset: Intel (R) C600/X 79 series chipset controller LPC - 1 41

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Mr President.

  Thank you very much!.  I tried to solve this problem for days.  I had already installed a new copy of Windows 8.1, so I've been worreid I need to start over, but I do not have.  All I had to do was follow you to start in safe mode.   I then rebooted in UEFI, changed the RAID on AHCI and disabled Secure Boot.  The system then finished the re-boot and is in AHCI mode.  I have not lost all data on my three internal drives (1 SSD and 2 hard drives).  For some reason, he did reformat a NAS attached, but I don't have something out there that was not saved.

  I really apprecitae your help!

  All the best,

  OCZ also have good records but one you mentioned is a SATA III a. You never get the full speed of SATA III, but this should work as a SATA II drive...

• the upgrade of processor in compaq presario cq4010f

  I have a desktop Compaq Presario CQ4010F running Windows 7 Home premium 64 with AMD sempiron chip factory, and I want to improve. I checked page plug product and learned that the motherboard is the manufacturer name: Pegatron M2N68 - LA (5 NARRATED), and HP/Compaq name: NARRA6 GL6. Then I checked the processor upgrade information and learned that it supports the image of socket AM2 + AMD Phenom II chip. I bought the AMD Phenom II X 4 940 3.0 GHz true quad design 8.0 MB total cache chip core. I've installed the chip, and while I was there, I added 1 GB of ram (leading to 3 GB total) just to be on the safe side. When I turned on the computer it tells me "unsupported processor' and turns off. I cursed loudly and ran things. Then I put the old chip in the back and it works fine. I checked the BIOS (the BIOS basic version: 6.0 BIOS revision: 5.54).  The new memory appears, so it's true.  I called a local computer repairman who did work for my mother in the past, and he told me that I have to upgrade the BIOS. I went to HP's download page, but there is no update of the BIOS for my machine. Then, I called 1 800 HP customer/tech support number, but had difficulty in communicating my problem because nobody speaks English as a first language. I cursed even louder and expelled more than things. My cat is still in hiding.

  My question: How can I get this chip to work? I really need to upgrade the BIOS? If Yes, where can I get the said upgrade? If this is not the case, how can I get the current BIOS to recognize the new CPU? How to coax my cat (grey and white tiger striped, 2 years, version 4.5) out of hiding?

  Help, please! I want to play Skyrim.

  Thank you!

  You can post a screenshot of what you mean. ?
  There should not be a difference between the two.

  Computers HP don't require processors HP. The processors are manufactured by AMD and Intel.

  Just compare the specifications of each against what you read in the text of presentation upgrade CPU on the portal of the web HP supported on your motherboard.
