Compaq 500 b (VS695UT): memory Compaq 500 b problem

I'm sorry to 'beat a dead horse' in this question, but I'm frustrated.

1. I have improved my Compaq 500 b microtour Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro.  Everything went well, and I appreciate it.  I currently use two modules of RAM of 2 GB for a total of 4 GB of RAM successfully.

2. for the purpose of "improvement", I thought that I would be upgrading or increase my 8 GB RAM, installing two 4 Go PC3-10600 (1066 / 1333 Mhz) 240 pin, non - ECC memory bars.

3. Once installed, the computer refuses to start, and I have a black screen.  I put back the original 4 GB of RAM in the computer, and it starts fine.  I made sure I had the latest and more great BIOS downloaded and installed.

4. I tried upgrade memory once more, in vain.  I tried to replace a SINGLE module (6 GB of RAM total) without success.

5. the 4 GB RAM that was originally here works very well. (I'm typing on this computer now).

6. my thought is that: "even if I'm still in Windows 7 Pro; "I should have been able to spend 6 or 8 GB of RAM", right?

7. the computer originally came with 2 GB of RAM, and I upgraded to 4 GB.  I read some of the older posts, and I think that I made sure that I use the correct RAM.

8. ALTHOUGH; When I run a single module of 4 Go PC3-10600, the computer won't start or run correctly. SO I'm looking for advice.  Any thoughts?

Hello:

The quickspecs 500b at the link below show that the maximum memory is 2 x 2 GB.

See page 4.

http://h20195.www2.HP.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?DocName=c04113766 & DOCTYPE = QuickSpecs & doclang = en_US & SearchQuery = & CC = UK & LC = in

Now the way I interpret the Intel G41 chipset info from the link below... it seems to me that on PC with DDR3 memory, the max is 4 GB, and for the PC with DDR2 memory, the max is 8 GB.

http://www.Intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-briefs/G41-chipset-brief.PDF

Makes no sense to me, but I would say that since 2 x 4 GB does not work and the characteristics of HP say the max is 2 x 2 GB, and the way I read that Intel is to say, it's the reason why the memory does not work.

  • Compaq 500 b memory and CPU compatibility problem

    I have a Compaq 500 b MT, that came from the factory with 1 GB of RAM and a processor Intel Celeron E3200 CPU.  I upgraded my memory to two sticks of 2 GB Kingston DDR3 1600 RAM, which worked perfectly for a while.  I then upgraded my CPU to an Intel Pentium E6500 CPU processor (supported), and when the start he gave me a code beep RAM (1 short, 1 long, 3 second pause) error.  I bought 2 sticks of memory PNY thinking I have fried my other sticks.  Same beep code.

    To make a long story short, I tried all possible combinations of the two processors and the three types of memory. The only time wherever I could get the Pentium E6500 to start was with the factory installed 1 GB memory.  It would give errors of memory with any of the other 2 GB sticks, even when considered individually.  Celeron CPU works very well with them.

    Is there something that I need in order to get the E6500 working with sticks of 2 GB of RAM?

    When you updated the modules of memory did you some they are guaranteed compatible? This isn't an amateur PC equipped of a BIOS level that allows for flexibility in the choice of primary and secondary memory sync settings and take. This means that it is essential that one chooses to upgrade memory that meets the criteria specified in the image below. Otherwise, the way the easiest way to upgrade is to buy only compatible memory guaranteed of leading manufacturers of memory.

    When I search for Compaq 500 b MT I come with a desktop PC. Is this correct? You posted in the notebook section, perhaps by mistake. If you will check, I can move this correct place.

  • Compaq Evo D5pM - problems using this model number, never find what he listed...

    Compaq Evo D5pM - (Pent4 - 1.7 GHz) problems using this model looking for parts or information number.  Serial number has not been useful.

    Someone said "aka Compaq D510." Trying to buy memory model (found on the case) my number wasn't so I tried to use D510 (it was listed). Apparently not the same computer / mine use 168 pins sticks and D - 510 came 188 pins. I did my 'upgrade' purchase by check the number of pins and using the already installed type.

    My computer is a vertical minitower - looks like D - 510-, but like I said the components are different.

    I was wondering if anyone knows a model Compaq Evo w / same components (P4 1.7 GHz; 168 pin memory) I could use for research purposes. The smallest horizontal model Evo often uses different (smaller) maps, etc..

    Tried the Ctrl-Alt-S keyboard shortcut to bring up the model number (etc.), but my keyboard shortcuts do not work on this computer. Run a search for edge came up with nothing to tune.

    I tried HP support and drivers.  With the help of several model numbers and found that absolutely nothing for HP Compaq or "Compaq" is in the list.

    It is a great 3rd computer that I've updated w / spare parts, use it remotely, especially for music. Only problem was the dark model number. If anyone has something useful to add would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance...

    PS I'm currently trying to identify MB for what it's worth, but a number of alternative model that works would be great.

    Hello:

    Your model is a d500 CMT HP.

    Type of memory: , (non - ECC)

    Because nobody does more than the memory, it will be hard to find and very expensive.

    You can plan on paying more $ $70 / 1 GB chip if you do not find the specification above used on a place like eBay.

    You can buy a newer, faster CMT from HP on eBay for less than $70 delivered.  Memory is much cheaper to buy as well.

  • Re: Portege 500 - starting problems

    I have the following problem with my Portege 500:

    When I turn on the computer the laptop appears to hang with a black screen, no icon of Toshiba and no Windows icon.
    Light blue hard drive indicates that the computer is something.
    After waiting for a time very, very long time (can be hours) I disable the hard way by pressing the off button for a few seconds.
    When I start her again the computer starts up normally and is in Windows in less than a minute.
    The issue also appears sometimes when I start it from sleep mode.

    I have Windows XP with all updates on the computer. I downgraded from Vista, after slow performance.

    I lie in the newest bios.

    I had the computer on service once when I had Vista on it because I've lived that I think has similar problems. According to me, once again to send to the service.

    A solution out there?

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows XP already?
    And try if this happens when you use your laptop only on battery and only on the AC adapter / CC. Perhaps this can clearify something.

  • Pavilion 500-054: hp pavilion 500-054 problems with the connection to monitor

    I have a 500-054 pavilion and I for a few years now.  Last year he stop to connect to my monitor (HP).  I check inside the tower and believe me there is no graphics in this card.  I see not where are the vga and dvi ports, but I don't have the graphics card.  Why it just stop working all of a sudden?  Is there anyway to fix this without buying a graphics card?  Or if I should buy a that one should I get?

    Thank you

    According to this PAGE SPEC, the PC has integrated graphics, which means that the graphics are part of the motherboard.  If either VGA or DVI ports do not connect on the screen, then maybe the integrated graphics card failed.  I see that the motherboard has a PCIxe slot, so it could be solved with an inexpensive graphics card.  Assuming that the integrated graphics card expectations it, then a discreet card for less than $50 should be easily enough.  HERE IS a PAGEfor this motherboard compatible graphics cards.  Pich an out of AMD or NVidia

  • Compaq Presario SR1901WM: Problems burning

    Hi, everyine, I'm having a problem with my Presario SR1901WM. I'm running Windows XP, SP3, all installed updates. The problem is, when I try to burn a CD, it stops after about 45 seconds, a tray open the CD and I get an error message, there was problem burn your CD, you can try again with another CD, or cancel. I tried with 2 different programs of engraving, Sonic Digital Media Home and CD Burner XP, same thing. I tried 2 different burners, a Sony DRU-840 has and a DVD Super-Multi 16 X on a Compaq SR5613WM, and the same thing happens. I tried both programs with two burners with the same result. I did a full check disk, including scanning for and attempt recovery of bad sectors and a disk defragmentation. Always the same thing. I tried 3 different brands of media, still no CD. Anyone has an idea on what's going on?

    Well, it doesn't seem to be a problem.  The problem is that all displayed disks are old and it could still be a bad drive.

    In addition, being that the computer in question is 2006 it could just be that the interface for the player is bad.  The SR1901WM is a technical computer limited, but it should still be able to burn a CD.  If the means to burn it on a CD are necessary, in this old computer, I would first try another IDE port for the DVD/CD player see if that's the problem.  A different ribbon cable would be the next option.  Finally, try an external box that can connect the drive or a connector like this: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-USB-DSC5-3-5-Inch-Converter-Adapter/dp/B000HJ99DI

    If the last option is chosen, then all mentioned discs can be checked to see if one of them works, or borrow another drive to the test.  Then report on the results.

    Hi smo68170

    Set the BIOS to default settings initially.
    Go to the BIOS (pressing F2), then press F9 for default settings and save the setting by pressing F10.

    As much as I know is not possible to Flash the BIOS again the same version as the BIOS will warn you that you are already using the latest version

    In addition, use the Toshiba page display driver.

  • Compaq mini c110: problem starting Compaq mini c110

    Hello

    I have compaq mini c110 and when I start it up it gets to the windows loading screen and then it restarts every time. So I decided to reinstall windows. I tried with windows 7, I get the first screen where I choose language after that when I press on install it just "freezes". I waited 2 hours to get to the partitions so I can format them and install windows but nothing happened. Then I tried to install windows XP, I got to the part where he asks me what partition I want to install windows and when I select it it starts formatting and after 20 or 40% in fact, it gave me error that my hard drive is damaged and could not be partitioned.

    I want to know if I should buy a new hard drive in this case, I would like to buy ssd or is something wrong with my mbr, I would get another message if it's defective mbr and how could I solve this problem? Or maybe it's completely another thing?

  • No disk bootable on Compaq Presario CQ42 problem

    Hello

    I recently came across a problem with my laptop Compaq Presario CQ42-117TX. I had a few regular updates installed and when I tried to restart the computer to complete the update, it starts for a long time then usual before flashing a blue screen for a second and then blacking out.

    When I restarted it again, he said he had no hard drive detected. I ran a check of the system BIOS and he could not run a quick test on the hard drive. When I try to turn it on normally, it goes to a black screen with a few details on the material inside and the last line reading "no bootable disc - insert boot disk and press any key any."

    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    You are the very welcome.

    I don't see any notebooks CQ42-117TX.

    However, I constantly loose connection wifi. Device Manager contains the following description of the device:

    • This could be a driver problem or is this a hardware problem?
    • If it is a hardware problem, you can easily replace the wifi component?

    Thanks in advance,
