Change the motherboard & processor on the retail XP pro machine

I will be able to change my case with my XP Pro retail license existing and mobo, cpu?

I will be reusing the existing HARD disks and optical drives.

Yes, but with a new motherboard if fails it "Repair Installation", you may need to perform a clean installation of XP.

Still think XP has existed for some time it can't hurt to download the latest drivers from device XP and updated the BIOS from the web site of the manufacturer of the mother/support download card.

Set of utilities to test for computer HARDWARE manufacturers:

Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking BIOS features, Intel EIST or Turbo Mode (turn off).
then back at the speed of stock as a starting point.

Disconnect the other internal hard drives and external USB devices.

First try running Memtest86 +, which runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or
confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours, so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

  • Set the size of the window for DOS applications running on the Windows XP Pro machine

When I run the application now that open windows are not ideally sized, the Flodraw is too big, I can't see it as much of the screen as I would, and QBasic is too small to get enough text to keep my train of thought.

    Omni HO 27-1015 t CTO Desktop PC product number: Windows 8 new installation B2Q20AV

    I can't control the brightness in the settings - brightness icon bed: not available

    Reinstalled the Intel drivers from the HP site with administrator installation and reboot.

    Thanks for any help

    I had this same problem on a spectrum One and it was driving me crazy! Windows wouldn't let me change the brightness no matter how, I went to this topic, and I saw that you get the message "Not available". Finally, I stumbled across the "HP My Display" program and was able to adjust the brightness in there. What is loaded on your PC? So far, it's the only way I found to change the brightness on this machine.

  • How to change the owner of a custom resource

    We create vCAC business groups as a resource that is centralized in our business accommodation for visitors office. Part of the procurement process is to create a custom resource vCAC for the vCACCAFE:BusinessGroup. Once the Group of companies has been implemented we would like to restore this object off customer accommodation property to allow them to update the group membership. How can I change the owner of the resource custom so that the client business group owns instead COMPUTER group central, or more precisely, I just feel like the Group of corporate clients to be able to perform actions of resources against the object group of business.

    It's the kind where I was going before I guess only you don't need this...

    >>... The resource action type has the value "elimination".

    My tests have shown that you can simply re-run the provision as another user and the EXISTING inventory item is replaced by the owner who ran.

    So you can have a market with a resource that says 'Take ownership' and for that Action, a provision by using the existing business group.  Changes in ownership. I tested that.

    Now that I have my right to consumer Resource Actions sorted (the service account of the plugin must qualify for all business groups - or at least where you want the actions to perform VCO), I'm sure I can put up an example that allows you to perform the Action of resource on behalf of someone else... This would allow you to SET the owner based on a new provision in the market.

    So, for example...

    1. I have create group of companies using advanced Service plan, which ALSO runs a provision of the custom resource.

    2. I add you to the Group of the company.

    3. I ran the action of change owner resource and type in your name.

    4. He performs a reconfiguration on your behalf... make you the owner.

    If this makes sense and could help you, I can set up a complete example in my lab tomorrow that shows this feature.  I know I can do.  But I also want to change the owner of a Machine element, and who died for us because he's not in the API.  I want to continue to push for an API method to change the owner as well.  As I said in my support ticket... If you own something, you should be able to change owner.

  • Reinstalling windows 7 ultimate retail after changing the SSD, the motherboard and the processor. I'm having a problem with the reactivation?

    I'll upgrade my desktop PC, by changing the motherboard, processor and SSD drive with the OS on it to boot. I have a problem with the reactivation of windows, and should I turn it off, somehow first, or the previous version will be considered as-enabled automatically? It is a retail, windows 7 64 ultimate version. Please advise, thanks in advance.

    Just reactivate by phone:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
     
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

    Remember, if it is a retail upgrade license:

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    You can skip to enter the product key and try the activation of the phone to work around this problem.

  • 23 - d160qd envy: new motherboard, now empty screen and 6 beeps. Cannot change the legacy BIOS. Help!

    Good ladies and Gentlemenof the Interwebulars, I hope someone can shed some light on my situation.

    Walked down one day to see that my computer would not start. A diagnosis which in a bad power port. Got a new motherboard because after desoldering (or that's what I tried to do) I realized that it was small to (re) welding in and I could not find the right part to reorganize.

    so I got a new motherboard. The number replacement part direct. Barefoot on my floor wood and ESD wrsitband on, I put in this bad boy. Double and triple check things and connections. Go to hit the power button and I get 6 beeps and 6 flashes of correspopnding of the powerbutton. The system does not appear to be on, fan is running with the other sounds of starting and running sounds, but I have a white screen and orange electric button. If I tap CTRL + ALT + DELETE it will restart and begin the process again. The 6 beeps by HP standards denotes missing graphics / card error. My original motherboard had a built-in graphics card so I thought that the same new part number card mother too. Obviously not. so I had a Geforce 2Go MXM graphics card update with heat sink. Barefoot, wood floor, bracelet ESD, thermal paste and turn it on to hear... SIX BEEPS AND SCREEN WHITE.

    After Googling around, some people say that I have to enter the BIOS and change boot legacy and fashion out of the UEFI mode that's killing me right now. I have join and would completely if I could see my screen of the BIOS, or anything for that matter. I can not go back also to my other card because it will not feed. So my question; How to make or change the BIOS settings so that my computer will recognize a graphics card or internal graphic that should be on the new motherboard itself so that it starts?

    I need this computer for CAD work soon so I thought help processor i7, 8GBs RAM, Geforce card and touch screen to perform a generation of PC.  So if someone has a great idea they would projected upward on this post, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

    Your computer is not posting, sound rather give an error message in the form of 6 beeps and red LED flashing, indicating graphics / video issue.

    You can never get into the BIOS of the device, if its not posting, not on a HP Desktop atleast.

    I recommend, you disconnect all components and fittings connected to the motherboard i.e. cables SATA, power cables, RAM, processor, heatsink, power supply and battery CMOS as well.

    Now, press and hold button power unit for a minute or two., with the power and everything is still disconnected.

    Then,.

    (1) Insert the battery CMOS back into its slot, install the processor and the heat sink, connect all cables power that goes to the motherbaord in the PSU and CPU and etc., less SATA cable and cable power to drive hard and Optcal drive and turn on the device, of course after you have connected the rear power cable.

    (2) check if the machine beeps and check whether it is 5 times.

    (3) If yes install a memory in the first slot (slot black), connect the monitor and turn on the power and check if there is no video output.

    (4) if so, connect the return which is always disconncted, to their respective locations and ports and turn them the unit on and get on with your CAD stuff.

    IF NO,

    2 options:

    (1) if the unit is still under warranty, call 1800-474-6836 and have a technician on-site visit your place and replace the parts needed for the operational unit.

    (2) or the motherboard you purchased could have been Dead On Arrival. Get a warranty replacement for the DOA mobo and re install a new Board of Directors.

    Good luck!

    memory from 512 MB to 2 GB. No problems. Or a 256 GB SSD will work?

    Hello:

    You can't do the things that you asked your model laptop, except to intall a larger hard drive (maybe up to 250 GB).

    No other motherboards will fit in the case. An i series processor does not work with your current motherboard.

    Very doubtful an SSD will work in your model.

    So my question is: can I put a new processor and video card

    In my acer aspire witouth problems?

    Doesn't look like as you can change the processor. Limits to the motherboard. But there is no onboard video. If you get a low profile graphics card and added it to the computer, it could work. But because the computer is an older computer, you will not be able to put in the last and best. I would like to talk to a local technician to see what is available in your area for this computer.
