• My laptop turns off itself Compaq presario c500

  My laptop turns off itself Compaq presario c500

  This may be a problem with the power supply for laptop. Power drain the computer once and then check to see if the same problem still exists. In order to drain the computer, disconnect all external devices from the computer and also to take the charger and battery, then press on and press and hold power for 30 seconds and release.

  Also a BIOS update if available on HP.com for model laptop.

  You can also see the computer in BIOS. Power on the computer and immediately, press the F10 key to load the BIOS, and then leave the computer as it is in the screen of the BIOS for some time and check if the computer turns off again and if it still cell phone off on its own while it is in the BIOS then contact HP and arrange for the service on the computer

• New hard drive for compaq presario c500 running vista. I want to switch to windows 7

  I'm fixing my laptop aunts. He a presario c500 compaq running windows vista. I bought a new hard drive. I would like to install windows 7. She could get windows 7 discs for free when she got off the computer, windows 7 was not yet. They have offered free windows 7 for people who bought the PC just before its release. Is it too late? I guess it's too late. Is there anyway I can get windows 7 for free? Or is there any discount for the upgrade to vista. I can't afford windows 7 discs.

  In my opinion, it's too late to get a free version or price reduced from Windows 7. This offer was available about two or three years, if my memory is good.

  You can Contact HP and ask.

• Compaq Presario SR2009UK - upgrade Windows 7

  Dear all

  I have a Compaq Presario SR2000UK and am looking to upgrade to Windows 7

  This machine had Windows XP installed, but since the end of the Support I got in trouble, decided to upgrade to Windows 7.

  First of all, I updated the Bios on the Hp website 3.24 Version dated 2007-06-29

  Then using clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit SATA hard drive.

  Installation went perfectly with 2 partitions (reserved system & Operating system) windows implementation

  Once windows had started active device manager and all the drivers were like OK.

  Restart the computer several times since the Start button of windows without problem.

  Now comes the question

  What computer was off nights windows does not restart.

  1 press button and the bios blue screen power light, I hear the startup hard drive work then the screen goes black and turns on the windows logo, but after a second the screen flashes and blue bios screen on again once him lights up the screen Windows Recovery Manager saying computer failed to start and get the 2 options.

  1 Let's repair (recommended) windows

  2 start Windows normally

  Option 1 passes through the long process of repairing then windows starts.

  Option 2 tries to start windows but crashes before the color of windows logo appears.

  My other option is to restart, and then press F8 for advanced options, and then on starting in safe mode that work very well.

  Restart windows start button and the machine is in reverse OK until it is turned off for a few hours, then I'm back to the same problem.

  Have you checked the battery Cmos and is OK

  Think there may be a Bios problem but couldn't find any version after 3.24

  Thank you very much John

  Specifications:

  A look at the motherboard and I see at least 3 capacitors that are starting to develop at the top so that you can not see the cross in silver leaf.

  Try things during these days and the problem now is getting worse.

  Thanks for all your help and your will has now seek a cheap replacement card to match the processor and ram.

• Compaq Presario CQ5600F: upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6)

  Hello. I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5600F which took a power surge. I use Windows 10 Pro and I'd like to update the Pegatron M2N68-(Narra5) motherboard M2N68-(Narra6). I saw some of these for the sale of the mobo. Can someone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find the drivers and perhaps installation information. The motherboards I've seen are either used, rebuilt, or "other nine" with no accessories.

  Hi @stan7926,

  Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that you need information on an upgrade of the motherboard of your PC. I'll be happy to help you with this.

  A remarkable work was done by your little research on upgrading motherboard for your desktop PC before you post your question in the forums of HP. It's always a great pleasure to work with tech-savvy and technically customers sounds like you. Kudos to you for this. I am amazed at your technical skills and levels of technical knowledge.

  First of all, the specifications are very clear on the HP website. It supports "M2N68-(Narra5)" with the drivers, BIOS and other updates available on the HP Web site. About the upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6), it may be possible, but before you buy the product, I would suggest that you contact a technician on-site that this motherboard is not listed by HP as a compatible Web site.

  I thank you greatly for posting your question on the forums of HP and for giving us the platform to help you. You are a customer of HP and we greatly thank you for doing business with HP.

  It is important that you are having problems with the bios and driver incompatibilities on the motherboard and windows 10 Therefore, it is recommended that you contact a local technician and check the compatibility of the motherboard before making any attempt to improve it. We cannot have the bios for it and corresponding drivers. Once again, you will need to visit the websites of 3rd party hardware manufacturers to update the bios and other drivers.

  I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes. If it helps, please mark this message as 'accept as a Solution. If you need help, let me know and I will gladly do everything I can to help. If you want to say 'Thank you' for my efforts help, click on the button 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos. I really hope that the problem is solved without hassle and things work fine for you.

  Now carefully and have a great week ahead.

• Compaq Presario SR5130NX: Cannot start Windows Vista after failure - HELP!

  Hello! My building has undergone a complete failure so 4 days ago I used it. Power resumed 3 hours later, but I was not able to log on since.
  
  
  
  
  
  Normally, I turn on my PC, and about 30 seconds later, a window pops up asking you my password. After entering it, the PC come by my office. Now, when I turn on the PC, it brings me to a blue screen with a mouse cursor in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.
  
  
  
  
  
  When I press F8 during the boot process and choose an option from the window "Advanced Boot Options", I still can't start my computer normally.
  
  
  
  
  
  Here's the "Advanced Boot Options" I tried, after consultation with my brother a little more PC-savvy:
  
  
  
  
  
  1 repair your computer - after I see my black screen that is usual with the words "Microsoft Corporation" under the green bars that scroll from left to right for about 15 seconds, a blue screen appears with the mouse pointer in the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.
  
  
  
  
  
  2 mode safe - while the PC display several files on start up and down, it stops on "Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys" for about 20 seconds, then proceeds to a black screen with the words "Safe Mode" in the 4 corners and the mouse cursor at the Center (which I can move), but there is nothing to click on.
  
  
  
  
  
  3 safe mode with network - see "Safe Mode" above.
  
  
  
  
  
  4 safe mode with command prompt - see 'Safe Mode' above.
  
  
  
  
  
  5 last known good Configuration (Advanced) - see "repair your computer" above.

  7 debug mode - see "Repair your computer" above.
  
  
  
  
  
  I downloaded a DVD recovery based on Linux in knopper.net, allowing me to access important files, which I copied from the desktop to an external hard drive (4.1 GB iso file).
  
  
  
  
  
  PC Windows XP of my brother has a recovery disk, but my Windows Vista PC did not come with one. I've seen a few paid versions, but looked resources due to cool weather and free shipping.
  
  
  
  
  
  I can't tell if I have the 23-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, so I downloaded both versions of an open source sourceforge.NET startup repair, which I burned on 2 DVDs. After you run the startup repair program using two DVD, the diagnostic results have been uploaded online at ubuntu.com for review and technical analysis. Here are the links:

  The last report ended with the words "start managed to fix...".  You can now restart your computer. "But I always encounter a blank screen (black or blue) when I try to log on to my PC.

  Hello

  Since you already have KNOPPIX I try Gparted and use it to 'clean up' the score because it will stop in an impure State.

  NTFS

  [1]

  [11]

  NTFS-3 g / important

  GParted will try.

  Also, I would consider the old problem with fat systems, floppy disks etc. which sometimes a copy of sys files from a floppy disk to a hard drive has reactivated a bootable system.

  So, if system files have been damaged, then replace them since a Setup disk.  Because he goes to options, what kind of work.

  My friend's computer is out of memory so that she can't play a game with us. She has need of more memory so I want to upgrade the RAM, but I'm not sure which one to buy.

  Mousu, welcome to the forum.

  This is memory that is recommended by HP to be compatible with its motherboard:

  • Dual channel memory architecture

• Compaq presario sr5518f upgrade processors

  First of all, I apologize if I do not write in the correct section.  A little new here.

  in any case, I'm going to completely overhaul my Compaq Presario SR5518F.  I'll get a new graphic/video card, power supply, and processor.

  Speaking of the processor, I have a question for someone who would know the upgrade of processors.

  The specs of my PC (which can be accessed HERE) said I can move to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7xxx.  I'm looking at upgrading to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 processor which has close to 3.0 Ghz (2.8 to be precise) of the operating speed.

  The question I have, is the Intel Core 2 Duo processor E7400 compatiable for my Compaq Presario computer motherboard?  I have never replaced or upgraded forever, and so I want to make sure I'm making the right decisions when buying upgrades.
  
  I would appreciate your help or you guys could give me advice.   Thank you and have a nice!

  Hello

  As you can see from the following link:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01386897

  It supports Core 2 Duo E7xxx (Wolfdale-M) CPU means that it will support CPU E7400 but you must update the BIOS to make sure.

  Kind regards.

• Compaq Presario SR5710F upgrade the video upon hearing the motherboard cannot handle high power supp

  What is the best graphics card upgrade which can my Compaq Presario SR5710F can support? I'm ready to upgrade the power also, but hear that the motherboard do not put anything above 350 watts regardless of power.

  You can install any PCIe x 16 video card you want. The limiting factor is going to be the power supply. More power the longer video card POWER supply. About what you hear about the motherboard, I found nothing to that effect. To qoute request-leo,' I heard a matter of concern that a power high power can somehow 'forcing' the power on the computer, resulting in overheating and burnout. Nothing could be further from the truth. A power supply provides power in response to the need; It does not matter where power grow. If your computer only needs 100 watts, then a 500 Watt power supply will only provide 100 watts. Why have a 500 Watt power supply? For the use of 'pic' (sometimes material will require 'sudden' power, as at the beginning upward or under heavy load) and for future expansion. »

  It is better to have too much power too littleand to get the right size. By that I mean the physical size - come in many standard sizes out there, and they are not interchangeable.

  Are what upgrade wizard you referring?  If you mean the message of compatibility of the icon in the taskbar of GWX then chances are that your computer will not manage Windows 10.  Change a CPU is expensive and does not guarantee that all components will work on an old computer.

  In the long term, it would be cheaper to change the computer.

  If you are satisfied with the computer, you now have and he did his job, stick with it until it dies.

• Compaq Presario 2545US upgrade (DC970A) CPU, compatible CPU?

  I have a HP Pavilion nx9010 (DV134U) for parts for my Compaq Presario 2545US (DC970A). It's practically a twin, internal differences only being their mothers and processor cards. The Presario's 31KT9MB0030 system board and CPU Pentium 4 d 2.40 GHz (SL6RZ). The Pavilion has 31KT9MB0056 system board and CPU Pentium 4 d 2.80 GHz (SL6PF). My question is whether I would be able to run the nx9010 CPU in the 2545US without a critical thermal problems. They both have the same 3-fan and heatsink of huge heat cooling system.

  Any help, advice and information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  According to some old posts here by Clinton Tam, it seems that the Presario will work until a 2.80 GHz CPU P4 - D. In the manual, in the list of replaceable parts, it was available with other processors P4 - D. I saw no motive P4s. In the list of spare parts on the HP Business Support site for the nx9010, it was available with several processors P4 - D, not the P4s Mobile only. The difference is in the motherboards. The motherboard in the 31KT9MB0030 Presario 2545US (326682-001) and those in the Pavilion nx9010 is 31KT9MB0056 (344178 001). 30 is not the voltage regulator / VRM necessary for the performance of a portability, or Mobile P4. 56 the fact. Thus, the Presario I can only run the P4 - D processors and the nx9010 that I can run simultaneously P4 - D and M - P4 CPU.
