Cannot install anything but XP after memory upgrade

My friend had a hp630 running Windows 7 Home Basic, 32-bit. He went to a flea market of computers where they replaced the system memory with two new modules of 4 GB. The system running my end but apparently could not use more than 3 GB of memory by showing that 8 GB has been installed, he wanted a 64-bit system. Given that the system had been there for a few years and accumulated a lot of garbage, we have decided to do a clean install. So we deleted and recreated partition D: with Minitool Partition Wizard and tried to boot from an installation DVD. And here's the problem: no matter how much we have tried different versions of Windows, the only one that worked was XP with AHCI drivers embedded in the disc according to instructions on this forum ( http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on... ). both XP sp2 and sp3 XP worked fine. However, Win 7 32 bit, Win 7 64 bit, Win 8 32-bit, win 8 64 bit everything has failed in a similar way: they would go by loading files (Win 7 shows a progress bar while Win 8 showed a logo) and then to reboot (Win 7 without warning, win 8 after a brief demonstration of an error with a sad smiley).

So the question is, how I approach this problem? Upgrade memory to do the system incompatible with Win 7/8? Unfortunately, the original memory module has disappeared, so I can't go back to the original hardware configuration. Should I try XP 64 bit? I heard that this is not the best system to 64-bit, due to compatibility problems (some have been resolved in later versions). I may try it anyway out of curiosity, but in the meantime would appreciate advice.

Thanks for the quick response!  The machine has Core i3 - 370 M, which certainly is 64-bit capable. Windows ISOs, both legal illegal, don't miss, and device startup doesn't seem to be a problem, either: the computer accepts the DVD I did very well and copied the files from there, but then something went wrong.

I did the format of the disk as the partition will, but I have not done anything with other partitions. Is - this possibe that Win 7/8 did not like fantasy HP partitioning? There are about 10 GB or partition so hidden, then 2 GB C: drive containing HP tools, then D: to E: and system for data. E: we did oursevles during initial installation for a long time it has so changed their size using MiniTool Partition Wizard. Windows XP has no problem with this disk layout, but perhaps the 7/8 behaves differently?

Another thing I noted is that F11 at startup has no effect. Is it normal for a model that was sold without any Windows? Or is it possible that it reflects somehow the problem I have with installing Windows?  The absence of function F11 is because you have made changes to the recovery D: partition. Any changes made to the partition will delete the F11 recovery capacity.

You will find that you have more success if you delete all partitions, then proceed with the installation.

Let the Windows 8 or 7 Installer create and format partitions of its own during the installation procedure. Normally the C: partition is the system partition,

I propose the first because you do a clean install instead of use the recovery disks created by the HP recovery media creator utility. Using the recovery media, scripts to create all the required partitions independently and install most drivers as well.

  • HP Photosmart C6280: cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Cannot print on C6280 wireless after the upgrade to Windows 10. Have removed the device, but try to re install the printer when is not found. Can print if I connect USB. Tried to reload the driver using HP Support software help, but when he arrives at the end of the download fails.

    Hi @Ron9871,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to get your printer HP Photosmart C6280 wireless printing. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I would like to try the steps in this guide, "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 10).

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note: the IPV4 IP.
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.

    Please restart the router, the printer and the computer in this sequence.

    If you're still having problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    You can try to change your WSD printer port by a Standard TCP/IP port.

    To do this, you will need your current IP address printers.  The Network Setup page shows the parameters of network for the product. To print this page; Press the button of network () on the control panel of the product.

  • Y430A can not boot after memory upgrade

    OS: VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32-BIT
    CPU: P7350
    MEMORY: HYNIX DDR2 667 2GB

    I added a 2 GB Kingston ram on the connector 2

    First of all, it can be the start and connect to windows,

    but after a while, the system of suspension or the SCREEN BLUE DEAD shows,
    He cannot even get into the bios screen when I reboot it

    but it can be boot up if I remove and reconnect the memory

    Sometimes the machine can be restarted and works correctly, except if once I turn it off

    I tried to exchange the slot 1 and 2 with 2 x 2 GB,

    and also replace with 2 x 256 MB Hynix memory.

    but it does not work.

    The new memory is not faulty or is not compatible because it works very well if it autonomous.

    In short, if I install 2 x 2 GB memory, the system may start only once.

    Is it the BIOS problem or it's my mistake?

    Please help and sorry for my bad English.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is perhaps due to the incompatibility of the modules of RAM, working together. If Yes, than to change only the modules will help.

    Also looks like Y510 behavior when it was a fresh model - Y510 all were not able to manage two RAM modules. Update the BIOS helped. For now no new BIOS for Y530/Y430, so will have to wait.

  • Error 1723 - cannot install anything with a .msi installer

    I understand that this kind of question has been asked several times on this here that I searched, however still have not been able to solve the problem :(

    Basically, I'm unable to install anything with .msi (windows package install), I get the error messages like:
    "There is a problem with this windows package install." A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your provider to support personal or package"
    OR
    "Installation directory must be on a local hard drive" (even if this is the case).
    It is not with a specific software, I have a problem with. For example I tried to install Acrobat, Quicktime, rhinoceros (3d software) and T-splines (plugin for Rhinoceros)... which was a mistake and had some msi installers, so I think its safe to assume this is not not the software, but a problem with my computer, and I suspect the registry eventually.
    Things I've tried so far without success
    • sfc/scannow
    • Microsoft fix it tool
    • Checked the status of windows install services (it was in operation)
    The only thing that I came close to using 'run as administrator' with quicktime as it was the only program which enabled this option as an msi file. This actually worked and was able to replace the DLL error somehow and install quicktime.
    Any help is really appreciated, I hope that his is not going to use a new installation on win 7 :(

    None of the above worked, unfortunately, but don't worry...

    ... I FIXED IT
    Here's how
    I resorted to a repair of windows 7 by using the support of instillation DVD/ISO/USB of my version on win 7 (it is actually an upgrade, wait for your upgrade to the exact version even though it should work with your key)
    I followed these instructions to the repair facility
    Don't worry, you won't lose any files, but I would still recommend making a return to the top.
    I use Macrium reflect free http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
    OR you can simply backup your stuff important to usb. But like I said, you shouldn't lose anything, and all programs will be installed as well.
    If you do not know your key (for when he asks during the upgrade) Windows use magical jelly bean before starting the upgrade and take notehttp://download.cnet.com/Magical-Jelly-Bean-Keyfinder/3000-18487_4-10079600.html keyfinder
    NOTE: After you completed the upgrade and to my office, I was greeted with the notification

    "Setup has detected that .NET Framework 4 needs to be repaired. Do not restart your computer until the repair is completed. »

    It is perhaps was necessary to repair? I don't know, but it took about 10-15 mins to fix it for me.
    Anyway, the bottom line is, so far, everything works well again, I can install msi without problem, I will report back if I get more specific questions, but fingers crossed I don't want.
  • Cannot create a PDF file after the upgrades: Adobe 9.2 and Mac OS 10.6.2

    After the upgrade to Adobe Professional 9.2 and Mac 10.6.2 I lost the ability to create PDF files.

    The printer Adobe (display says that the printer is v. 9.0) indicates the status of the job as "Mistake" and has the following message; "You must install the software to use this printer. To install the software, choose software update from the Apple menu. If the software for your printer is not available in software update, contact the manufacturer of your printer. »

    I get errors when I try to create a PDF from a Web page.

    I get the following error when I try to create a pdf from a word file: "Acrobat cannot open 'AAA.docx' because it is not a type of supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an attachment to e-mail and has not been correctly decoded).

    To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document in Adobe PDF format".

    (I can create a PDF from jpg files... but I never really have a need to do this...)

    I uninstalled Adobe Professional by using the uninstall program (then emptied the trash and restart), then reinstalled Adobe Professional from disk (and restarted).  After the reinstallation, I always get the same problems, even if I get no error message until Adobe Professional updates from 9.0 to 9.2.  Before the upgrade Adobe, v9.0 attempts to print to pdf just act as the pdf is created (no error message), but I do not get a backup fast, nor is a new pdf no matter where the document is located.

    Help, please!

    With OSX.6.x, the possibility of using the Adobe PDF printer has been lost. See the ad at the top of this forum (known issues with Snow Leopard).

  • Satellite P100-219: overheating after memory upgrade

    Hello guys,.

    I've recently upgraded to 4 GB RAM in my laptop, and he did it again.
    Computer laptop stops immediately after awhile. CPU or GPU gets really hot. Works fan CPU, GPU was not used intensely. Simple web browsing/cat/emailing.

    What becomes hot however is part to the left of the memory/wlan compartment. Is it possible that a chipset gets hot after just upgrade memory?
    I tested the memory with Memtest + for more than 3 hours. No errors.

    Moreover, the last time that my phone was in ASP it had returned with DMI saying it's Satellite L20! I dunno if that could be related...

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
    mentorek

    You have blown the dust anyway? As you say, maybe another component is overheating rather than the CPU or GPU. The CPU/GPU heatsink can be shared with other chips.

    Have you installed RAM high performance? His best choose RAM that has the same Timings CASE/RAS as the original factory of RAM.

    The name DMI does not cause something like this.

    PS. If you're running Vista, you must pass the BIOS and driver nVidia on the Toshiba site

  • Cannot install anything.

    My Xoom of US - not all of a sudden doesn't let me install anything from the Android Market.

    I've selected an application, and click on install, I saw a notification skipped upward, bottom right indicating 'Installation', but after a few moments,

    He showed "Appname installation fails.

    I tried to restart my Xoom and clear the cache of the market, but still no luck. Someone has encountered this problem before and how do you solve?

    It is good, that you can not install Norton Product.  Stop trying.  No McAfee either.
     
    Avast, AVG, Avira , or UnThreat are choices fine (free option).
    You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

    Regarding SP1 - do this manually.  Windows Vista Edition _, _ - bit? [Fill in the blanks]

    Download and save the SP1 that is appropriate for your architecture of Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) operating system (on your desktop).  Reboot and logon.  Right click on the saved file and choose Run as administrator.  Follow through until it's done and restart with 5 minutes between each restart twice.

  • NB100 black screen after memory upgrade

    My NB100 works well with the Samsung 1 GB of memory which was included when I bought it, but when I replaced the screen with a new Kingston 2 GB 667 MHz (2 G/VR667D2S5) doesn't show anything when I turn on the laptop back, even if the LED indicators seem normal and fans inside its normal.

    I tried a replacement memory (same type of Kingston) - still no luck. I put the old Samsung back and the laptop starts fine.

    Any ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    What NB100 you have exactly? What is the number of exact part of it?

    AFAIK NB100 supports only 2 GB of RAM. This means that you can install the module of 1 GB in each slot, but not a 2 GB RAM module will not work.

    So, if you want only 2 GB of RAM, you will need to purchase an additional 1 GB module because the NB has two memory slots.

  • Pavilion 15-ab043sa: cannot reset to factory settings after the upgrade computer laptop brand new 10 Windows

    I bought 2 new laptops, they seem to be special models not listed is not in the HP support site, purchased from Currys PC World in the United Kingdom.

    First HP Pavilion 15-ab045sa laptop computer 15.6 "-red, upgraded to windows 10 perfectly well and I made a backup of the system while I studied the creation of recovery media (this info must be printed with the laptop in the box, rather than letting the user have to find BTW)."

    The other a HP Pavilion 15-ab043sa laptop computer 15.6 "-blue, for my parents, has turned into a total disaster."

    The two models are the same, except that the first is red and the other is blue, that's why they have different product numbers?

    I was now in a position where the recovery on the D: drive partition is not a factory reset.

    I did not even recovery disks as having the first one to go smoothly, I thought the same thing would happen on the second laptop and I got the recovery disc then.   I tried to create a USB stick recovery, but I had no one who can save the system settings - need at least 32 GB free.

    This occurred as first I started the laptop, made of windows, MS Office 365 updates, added then waiting 2 days for windows 10 to arrive.  When it came it installed fine and then I added a printer driver for an HP printer and made some configurations of the operating system.  At the next reboot showed something was wrong as the boot took over 7 minutes.  As the synaptics app was referenced twice in the tab start Task Manager also had strange things in the system.  Rather than go back to a previous system restore point that I attempted to identify what was wrong and uninstalled all without success.  I then had the opportunity to go back to 8.1 for Windows or "reset the PC.  Not a lot of explanation on delivery to zero and certainly no warning options that the D: partition was no longer valid.  Windows options were "in my face" so I don't think watching HP recovery.  So I chose to run from Control Panel 'Reset the PC and keep the files'.  So, indeed, I now have a clean install of Windows 10 but have lost all applications that were on the factory orginal building.  I see no way to re - install all of these programs and find the license keys.  I have more HP recovery at all.

    So I have no way to put the blue doesn't return to the factory settings.

    Advice please, I want a laptop blue, the same as the red, i.e. Windows 10 with all applications that have come to the factory as well as the correct printer drivers and a time of less than 30 seconds of starting.

    You are not sure if there is anything I can copy from red to blue to get it going again?

    Any help gratefully appreciated, thank you
