• Compaq Presario CQ5300Y desktop PC - memory upgrade

  Hello, everyone! I hope you are all well.
  
  I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5300Y, to which I would like to upgrade the memory.
  
  The product specifications indicate clearly that the motherboard, a M2N68-(Narra5), 2 x DDR2 memory media. (In addition, the amount of installed memory is 2 GB.)
  
  The product specifications, in the information section of upgrade memory also mention the following:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dual channel memory architecture
  Supports two DDR2 DIMM (240-pin)

  Supported DIMM types:

  PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
  PC2-6400 (800 MHz)

  Memory non - ECC, unbuffered
  Supports DIMM DDR2 2 GB modules
  Supports up to 4 GB * on 32-bit PCs
  * 32 - bit operating systems cannot resolve a full 4.0 GB memory.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm clear (with what the article said) I have only available two DIMM DDR2 2 brackets.

  "What confuses me is the statement" ""supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM '. This is the reason for my question.

  "Supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM" means that I have to use 2 GB DDR DIMM only, which means I can only go to 4 GB? Or could I use 4GB DDR2 DIMM, which breaks the barrier of 4 GB?

  In a few words, I would like to - at least - 8GB (assuming that I find two modules DIMM DDR2 4 GB). Would it be possible to have the above configuration?
  
  It is important to mention that the PC is running a 64-bit operating system.

  I would appreciate the attention he can draw on this issue.

  Best regards.

  Chassis: HP Compaq 6000 Pro Compact

  Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @3. 00 GHz

  RAM: 2 x 1 GB

  OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  I can add more technical info on request.

  Recently saved this PC of my friend tries to throw it. Everything is fine with the PC. It works perfectly and there is no material visible failure wihtin the PC either. He just bought a new and had no need for this one.

  Before turn me this into a House mutli-purpose server, I decided to upgrade the RAM.

  So I did some research and found this page: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01883661

  DDR3 240-pin DIMM 1333 MHz non - ECC, Max 4 GB per DIMM slot, Total Max 16 GB module.

  I went and bought RAM Corsair. Link to the product: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cmv4gx3m1a1333c9

  I decided to get 2x4gb and upgrade later if I felt the need.

  I was happy to install in the PC. one in DIMM 1 slot and the other in the DIMM 2 slot.

  BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

  I thought that maybe the slots are wrong, maybe they have to odd numbers then numbers.

  So I changed the RAM of DIMM 2 DIMM 3.

  Once again, the annoying ringtone.

  I even tried leaving just the 4 GB DIMM 1 and tried to start the PC, but nothing helped.

  I tried a lot of different combinations with the end result is 5 annoying beeps.

  After that I thought that maybe, just maybe, an update of the BIOS can change things.

  So I installed Windows 7 (I can't stand Windows. Arch Linux FTW) and performing a BIOS update.

  I then installed the new RAM again. Yes... frickin 5 beeps AGAIN.

  I am extremely disappointed at this point. I spent already $ 70 on a computer with free access.

  I read the forums here, but I couldn't find a thread with a solution for me.

  Is there anyone on this forum who could lend me a helping hand?

  Any information would be gladly appreciated.

  PS Please report any stupid error, I did. Stick and stones could not curb my bones.

  • Processors:-Intel Centrino
  • RAM:-upgrade to 2 GB (1 GB x 2)
  • OS:-upgrades to Windows 7 Home Edition, Service Pack 1, 32-Bit

   

  The HARD original disk that came with the laptop crashed 2 days back (November 1, 2015) and since then, I searched like crazy on the net about upgrading to an SSD, but did not all relevant information on my particular model referred to above and therefore this message.

  My questions are:-

  • Option-1, can I get an internal SSD 128 or 256 GB?
  • If so, what should be the specifications for the SSD?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-1?
  • Option-2, can I get an SSD external and operated through one of the 3 USB Ports?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-2?
  • Option-3, can I mount a HARD drive external and operated through one of the 3 USB Ports?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-3?
  • Option-4, can I mount a 128 or 256 GB internal HARD drive?
  • What should be the specifications for HARD drive internal for Option-4?

  I'm really interested to be my laptop above through SSD only, so if anyone can give a solution for this purpose, it will be very very useful.

  Waiting for your first answers & thanks in advance!

  No he is the type of hard disk and how it connects, and you have this kind

  

  And an SSD is like this:

  

  See the difference in the interface? It is a kind of hole plug round/square of the thing. I could go on technically on different types of storage controllers and how to optimize the speed of SSD, but the different plug-ins is a killer deal from the outset.

  On what you can do if you want to speed up the hard disk, performance is to find a 7200 RPM hard drive PATA (top photo), which will be much faster than 4200 or 5400 RPM nature, which is probably what has / have. I actually bought a supply of 60 GB 7200 RPM IDE/PATA drives of the laptop that I use in my hobby of refurbishing older laptops. I don't want to sell to a member of the Forum HP (kind of conflict of interest), but I can probably direct you to the place I got them if you will send me a PM.

  My best real advice is that your laptop if it were a car would have the right to have "Antique" plates and is actually just a little newer than some of the 'old' portable in my "vintage" collection The market is very respectful of the buyer and you can get a laptop that will run rings around you for maybe $300 these days and will allow you to use a modern OS with a semblance of security. I don't think not that your could run anything newer than XP.

• Problem of PC keyboard laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-224NR after the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

  I have recently upgraded the OS on my laptop PC Compaq Presario CQ60 224NR Vista Service Pack 2 to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 1.  I updated the drivers before upgrading and checked for the latest drivers after upgrade also.  After the upgrade, the keyboard of the laptop works only partially when I use a web browser.  This includes IE and Firefox.  Above the QWERTY keys do not work correctly.  If I press one of these keys or SHIFT and one of these keys, the last character, symbol, or space I typed before is repeated instead.  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  Well, I searched for several hours and found a solution, at least for me I am a customer of Comcast and I installed constant guard.  There is a key logger that is included in the package that it causes the problem.  I uninstalled GuardedID and my problem disappeared.  I hope it works for you.

• Compaq Presario 2586US laptop - hard drive upgrade

  Recently, I took a chance and bought 2 'parts only' Compaq Presario 2500 laptop computer series off Ebay and was able to make a unique work PC with motherboard of the 2586US being the motherboard, I used.  I don't have a hard drive, so I bought a Samsung 160 GB ATA drive.  Turns out I have to not need the adapter on the end of bus because it plugged right in the motherboard making.  The reader is supposed to be ATA100 and ATA133 at the upper end (I don't remember which).  I put the drive and installed Windows.  I noticed that it seemed slow but Windows showed the disc to the original format.  Then I went to dual-boot with a Linux distribution and encountered errors.  Thanks to a lot of research on the web I found the BIOS and the IDE interface itself (?) apparently does not have a drive larger than 137 GB.  I checked the BIOS and indeed it says the maximum usable size 137 GB.  It also shows the transfer rate to DMA2, which, as I understand it, means that it is only the transfer to 33 MB instead of 100 or 133 MB.  The service manual says ATA100, so it should support a transfer DMA5 rate.

  I don't pretend to understand all of this at all.  So, I'm looking for help.

  (1) is anyway to go beyond 137 GB on a hard drive in this laptop?

  (2) otherwise, it's the fact that my drive is actually 160 GB when the PC support 137Go cause more problems?

  (3) what should I do to obtain a rate of transfer beyond DMA2?  The configuration of the BIOS doesn't let me tab this field to change.

  Thanks for any help and explanations that I can understand.  Don't forget that I am just your average Joe and not some kind of expert at all.  I found a lot of this on the web but don't know what it means.

  Thanks in advance!

  After a lot of research and reading on the net, I found the following link:

  http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~leeey/A7A266/

  Basically, the driver ALi M5229 was the problem.  It was not really support the DMA modes.  The link explains this and provides a link for the driver of the UDMA for the chip (it is not only the miniport driver that you get from the Compaq/HP site).  I installed it, had to reboot about 3 or 4 times due to messages "new hardware has been installed, but a reboot is required.  When I finally got around those I noticed that in Device Manager I see the ALi controller and it is listed as a UDMA controller now.  The individual channels are not displayed (the pilot seems to configure the drives as SCSI peripheral nickname).  Using the included ALi utility, it shows my driver running at ATA100/133.  Startup, everything including startup items until my office is there, the system's busiest has been reduced to about 1/4 or 1/5 while she was before.   I have a new system of hearts for my office, so sometimes I think that it still seems a bit slow, but there is a world of difference between a modern quad core system and this old laptop P4 architecture, etc..  But okay, the laptop works fine now in Windows.  Now I'll have to see what it looks like for Linux, because I have no idea what it uses for the driver ALi M5229.

  I think we can safely call this thread closed, how ever do you that.  Somehow, I thought she was going to be a bit obscure, and I guess you can say it was!

  Thank you all for any help here!

• Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX: can I upgrade to Windows 10?

  I have a laptop Presario CQ56-115DX, bought October 2010 (5.5 years) and running Windows 7. Considering the free update of Windows 10, I am concerned about the graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD4250). I can't find an answer consistent and simple as to if it will work with Windows 10. Some sources claim a flat No., while others say No Problem, and still others say it's possible, but I'll have to pass through many creoles, manual installation of upgrades/downgrades of device drivers before, during and after the upgrade of the OS.  Maybe a BIOS update, too.

  So, can someone give me the history of right? When all is said and done, I at least will be no worse off as I am today on Windows 7, for graphics and video capabilities? I do more than very light animation and card games - no heavy action or stuff VR Council. This laptop has the power to do this kind of things anyway. If there is clear instructions somewhere for the manual steps that must be done before pulling the trigger on the upgrade of Win10, I can follow them. I don't want to risk in bricks during the upgrade! Supposedly, for 30 days after the upgrade, I can return to Windows 7, but it's no good if I can't get on the machine in the first place.

  I realize that this machine is getting quite long in the tooth, so a hardware upgrade (if that's even possible) is out of the question. If I have to stay on Windows 7, I'll run that, until the support is gone and then switch to Linux or something (maybe dual boot) until the material finally die.

  Are there any other known folds in a Windows 10 upgrade, in addition to the graphics? I've seen complaints about wireless, keyboards, optical drives and other things does not work properly after the upgrade.

  PPerry57

  My advice, after these uprades and seen THEM fail miserably on the old PC (like yours) are NOT to do the upgrade.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!

  Also, there is no upgrade for the BIOS of your PC because it has not been compiled with Win10 in mind.

  While Microsoft tells you there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly faction of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when it fails it can leave machinery in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

  Thus, people who tell you that you are no worse off the power if you upgrade to level do not take account of the reality of the situation - you'll be no better off and will be certainly less well off, how much, nobody knows.

  However, if you are willing to do some work and are determined to try to upgrade, then read on...

  You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.  Old machine Win7 tend to come in two flavors when it comes to upgrading Win10 - really easy and really difficult.

  The really hard to upgrade computers fall into two categories: (1) those who are expandable to Win10 and works OK, (2) those who are not.

  Computers laptops HP, especially old Win7 machines, often came with two different graphics - and Intel chips and then either a processor AMD or Nvidia.  This was known as switchable graphics card or hybrid.  You have run using the Intel chip most of the time, but when you need additional graphics power, as in the game, the PC automatically switched over to the use of the AMD or Nvidia graphics chip.

  Problem is, this requires special graphics drivers to work, and while that those that are preinstalled on laptops Win7, these drivers simply do not exist for Win10.  These drivers are not available from Intel, AMD or Nvidia.  One way to tell if your PC has two different graphics chips is to look in under Graphics Device Manager.  If there are two different cards in the list, an Intel and AMD/Nividia, then you have this problem - and if you force an upgrade to Win10, you will have serious graphic problems and your machine will not work.

  However, if you do not have this problem, to CAN pass to Win10, but you must be willing to do four things:
  (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
  (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
  (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
  (4) prepare for a clean install.

  ---------------------------------
  1: backup of images:
  This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
  ---------------------------------
  2: System reserved for resizing:
  There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
  ---------------------------------
  3: use a different approach to upgrade:
  Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  ---------------------------------
  4: be prepared to clean-install:
  If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.

  You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html

  You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.

• Compaq-Presario CQ5110F: the graphics card upgrade

  In order to upgrade to Windows 10, I have to upgrade my video screen, so I purchased and installed a 2 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 in PCI Ex16 slot on the motherboard, but my system of refuses to recognize it, even if I changed the main video screen in the BIOS PCI Ex16. What I'm doing wrong here? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you

  Hello:

  The Nvidia 730 series cards do not work on an old PC.

  The BIOS will not accept it.

  If you want a nVidia card which is close to the 730, you go with GT 630.

  Also, there is a workaround to use the integrated graphics card and upgrading to W10.

  See the discussion below.  You launch the DVD you made from the windows desktop and ignore the checking of updates.

• 5 GHz WiFi card update - Compaq Presario

  I just got a new router today and found out that it is a double router broadband and supports the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I was wondering if I could update my existing WiFi card that supports only the 2.4 GHz and get one that will take in charge the 5 GHz band. Also if I have a 5 GHz WiFi card in my laptop can still connect to networks that support 2.4 GHz only? How much would cost a new card? And finally, if I can improve my card, how I put in my laptop?

  Data sheet:

  Model: Compaq Presario CQ57-33WM

  OS: upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro

  Memory: Updated 6 GB of RAM

  Hard drive: 320 GB 5400 RPM

  Processor: FSB of 1333 MHz 1.50 GHz Intel Celeron processor B800

  Network cards:

  Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter

  Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller

  (A lot of WAN Miniports is also listed in Device Manager)

  Can I still switch my wireless card based on these specifications? It would be difficult to change? Let me know if you need more information on the computer.

  Also, if it ends up that I can't change my card or it is really hard to change, could use something like this as a last resort? Double USB adapter wireless broadband

  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello

  According to the service manual this lappy does not support 5 GHz wireless cards. Most recent computers based Intel Mobile (Ivy Bridge and higher) support the latest maps wireless Intel including the last 7260AC one. Your laptop is older, so I can't say with certainty what will work or not. In this case I suggest to get some usb adapters wireless such as that of your link or one of them:

• Compaq Presario SR1739UK update

  I have a Compaq Presario SR1739UK I want to upgrade the RAM, graphics card and processor so that in series Windows 7 much more quickly than he is and get all the features of Windows 8 (except touch, of course). It's my kids PC, so while I want them to do well enough, it will not be used for the online games or something like that, especially it will be used for web browsing and streaming of media through media library, so I don't want to spend a lot of money. Before I go ahead and buy all the parts I wanted to check that I can do and if there are traps I need to know.

  RAM

  It's easy, I replace just the existing cards to 2 x 512 MB with 2 x 1 GB cards

  Graphics

  This PC has an ATI Radeon Express chipset built in. I understand that I can not remove it, but I should be able to add a graphics card on the PCI or PCI - E slots right? Any recommendations on a good replacement? He didn't need to make amazing graphics of games or something like that, but it would be nice if it could handle Aero in Windows 7 and Windows 8 multi-tasking and don't want to spend ridiculous money - up to £50 or £60 I guess. Also should I upgrade the PSU?

  Processor

  It is the delicate issue. This PC has an Asteropi-GL8E motherboard with a Pentium 4 processor and looking at specifications supported on the HP site, it seems that it is only expandable to Intel Pentium D820 or D900, which are abandoned. Can anyone tell if I can use a more modern processor, ideally bicoeur with a bit more ooomph and if so what models?

  Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated, especially around the issue of the processor.

  Hello:

  Only, you would be able to upgrade to one of the Pentium D 9xx processors. You can find a decent supply of sell them (used, but tested and functional) in ebay.

  So you can go for the max - 945. I would like to get the one with sSpec SL9QQ.

  Video: I need to know what the power supply, but for me a sure bet would be an opportunity but tested and functional ATI Radeon HD 2400 PCi Express video card.

  The Dell card will work in your RESUME.  You will need a cable of the monitor or DVI adapter DVI / VGA, because it has only a DVI offline. It has a S-video out to TV connection, but most of the monitors is not a S-Video input

  This card has two DVI and VGA ports.

  I prefer fanless cards because they are silent and without fan out.

  But it is up to you.

  This path allows you to save a lot of money, and you get a pretty powerful PC.

• Upgrade memory - Compaq Presario SR1630NX

  Planning the upgrade on my HP - Compaq Presario SR1630NX memory. Before buying a product of memory, I want to make sure it is compatible with the Compaq. Info on the Compaq Presario SR1630NX memory is as follows: 1) 512 MB (2 x 256) memory installed in the 4 slots 2 DIMM; (2) 2 4 DIMM slots open. (3) type of memory is 184 pins DDR SDRAM. It is a bit confusing when you try to sort the different products available memory. Identified the PNY Memory twin 2048 MB PC3200 DDR 400 MHz memory (2 x 1024MB), Model #MD2048KD1-400. Memory is this product compatible and recommended? Otherwise, any suggestions?

  Hello

  I ordered the Crucial memory upgrade kit. Then will come the real installation. I'm a little tentative trying to change modules of memory because I've not done this before. Are there problems I should be aware of that I open the SR1630NX, find the motherboard and memory sticks, remove and install new?

  It's really very simple.

  All it takes is patience and attention to the location of the index in the module and the game inside the DIMM slot.

  Unplug the power connector from the power outlet.

  Open the case.

  touch something metal in the case with your hand to dissipate static electricity from your body. I actually always use an anti-static wristband.

  Press the tabs on each side of a module locking and it comes out.

  use the thumb and forefinger on each end of a module and remove it carefully.

  during the installation of the modules to place them in the same locations you deleted the 'old' of.

  Search the index of the module tab and the tab corresponding inside the ALS DIMMt.

  Use the slots on the inside and under the locking tabs guide to guide the module in the DIMM connector correctly

  now, use your thumbs to the top end of the module for shake it gently in the DIMM slot.

  you will know that it is in place as you feel / hear a click.

  now check to make sure that the locking tabs are in place at the ends of the module.

  Repeat the process with the other modules

  That's all there is to it.

  Kind regards

  ERICO
