• Compaq presario 1800us (470013-558) memory upgrade

  It is an old laptop that I am trying to get a little more life on as a replacement/backup machine.  At currently stock 192 MB of RAM (64 MB on MB, 128MB on SODimm).  Performance is naturally miserable because of the many to get excited when the virtual memory should be used.

  Specs say it can take up to a total of 320 MB and the HP parts store indicates that a 256 MB module was formerly available.  The part number of this 256 MB module is 175325-001, but it is essentially impossible to get now.

  Online sellers seem to indicate that the equivalent part 256 MB is 161554-B21, which is available.  I ordered and received this part from a local seller online.  However, when I installed it, the laptop still shows that a total of 192 MB of RAM.  Software memtest.exe see the module 256MB 128 MB.

  Either:

  (A) the 256 MB module, I received is defective

  (B) the 161554-B21 part belongs the wrong for this machine

  (C) the BIOS is not configured to see the full 256 MB (BIOS shows any useful info and there is almost nothing to twist here - is - it possible to see more info?)

  Any help would be appreciated.

  At this point, there are only a few explanations that can explain it.

  1. the motherboard is limited. This probably isn't the case since it supports up to 320 MB of RAM.

  2. the RAM is classified. A possibility, but the RAM chips appear to be intended for a stick of 256 MB of RAM.

  3. some of the RAM chips are failed, but not be detected by a tester memory. It's the most likely scenario.

  I would contact the supply store that they have been purchased from replacement or the manufacturer of the RAM for troubleshooting.

  I would also recommend, get the HP RAM if possible. If you are interested in the HP RAM, then you can try this RAM. If it does not load, just search the 167136-001 part number. It is listed as available here, but I would be surprised if they still had the PC100 memory.

• Upgrade memory of PC Compaq Presario SR2177CL Desktop problem

  I have a Compaq Presario SR2177CL desktop PC.  I checked the specifications of the product on the HP site and this is what it says for the record:

  Memory

   

  Attributes Installed memory 1 GB Maximum allowed 4 GB * (4 x 1 GB)
  * Actual available memory may be less

  Speed supported PC2-4200 MB/sec Type 240 pin DDR2 SDRAM

  I went to newegg and purchased:

  CORSAIR ValueSelect 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Me...

  When I put the pair of DIMMs in the pc, it won't post more.  The screen is still asleep and I never see the bios screen, I can't go in the bios configuration, or whatever it is.  As soon as I remove the pair, it works again.  The PC came with 2 512 MB DIMM in the slot 1 and 2, so I tried to delete those and replacing them with the pair I bought and got the same results.  I buy the bad memory?  I see it should work.

  Thanks in advance for any help and ideas.

  Finally!  I decided to try the suggested crucial.com memory, I went to the city and found in the store of the local computer.  It is plugged in and it works like a charm.  NewEgg gave me a credit on the memory of others when I called them, so everything worked.

• Upgrade a Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop computer

  Hello, I'm recovering because as far as I can get out my Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop... right now there windows vista service pack 2 32-bit. The processor is an AMD Athlon 64 dual core 4450e to 2.3 GHz with 3 GB of ram at 800 MHz. First of all, since the processor is 64-bit, I was wondering if a windows 7 64 upgrade is recommended... Secondly, I know that even though I have a 64-bit processor, the maximum capacity of ram I have is 4 GB due to the motherboard, but with this card mother, is possible to increase the speed of greater than 800 MHz ram (for the motherboard specifications are hard to find). I was also thinking to replace the graphics card, but what I am seeing that will probably require a different diet and I am on a limited budget. Any suggestion? Please take into consideration the fact that this upgrade is not for games etc, its a home computer that I'm trying to be as updated as possible for a minimal cost. I am realistic, however, and I know it's an old PC. More I am not worried about existing programs (32-bit), I certainly intend on a new installation

  RickCraw,

• Compaq Presario SR1517CL Desktop processor upgrade

  I have a Compaq presario SR1517CL desktop with Asus K8S - motherboard and a Sempron 3000 + 1.8 GHz cpu. Can I switch to a faster processor. If so, that we recommend. I was watching an AMD Sempron 145 2.8 GHz.

  For the salmon in your desktop PC motherboard, go with an Athlon 64. There is a world of difference between Athlon 64 and Sempron processors.  Semprons are in lack of power as consideration for Intel, which is known as a Celeron of treatment.

  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.

  Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR1909UK desktop and it is card mother A8M2N-(NodusM). There is a conflict in the two specifications for what CPU socket is actually used. The computer specifications claim a socket 939 CPU, while the motherboard plug State she has a socket AM2. You will need to examine your system to confirm what type of CPU and socket he did.

  It can be difficult to locate a market after motherboard that will meet your needs as AM2 socket 939 about 5 years to 8 years and are several obsolete generation. Check e - Bay or similar in your area for a replacement card which meets you the specifications. Please keep in mind is likely to replace the HP OEM Board on your computer Windows become a "non-genuine" and require the purchase of a new operating system. Note that the recovery discs you created will not be also usable on your computer.

• Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC: update BIOS for SATA HDD?

  Hi CV Experts.

  In 2004, I bought a HP Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC. Now, leave the original hard drive and I bought a new Seagate 500 GB SATA hard drive. I thought that this would work because the PC MoBo has two SATA connectors. After installation, I noticed the drive is not detected. I checked the BIOS but not hard listed. The installed BIOS is "BIOS Award BIOS Core Version 6.0 revision 3.10 26/07/2004.» What can I do? Is there a BIOS update available?

  Help, please!

  

  Do more research on this issue, I think that this motherboard may not have native support SATA. You can use ports SATA via Windows after you have installed the necessary drivers. I suggest that you add a primary as hard drive IDE PATA drive and load Windows. Post windows installation, install the necessary SATA drivers and plug the secondary drive SATA for use as a hard disk.

  I'm sorry for all of the early confused communications.

  Any v1.0, v1.1 or v2.0 PCIe x 16 graphics card, with the exception of the cards of ATI Radeon HD 54xx, should work on your computer. Keep in mind that the power of your computer's power supply will limit your choice of cards. Depending on the card you get, you may need to replace the power supply.

• Is connected to the Internet, but cannot use the Compaq Presario SR5123WM desktop PC

  Product name & #: Compaq Presario SR5123WM desktop PC (GC660AA-ABA)
  Operating system: Windows Vista Home Premium 32
  No only error message when Internet Explorer does not display the page or iTunes can't find any connection network (any application that requires an Internet connection).

  No changes were made to the system.

  I have the dial-up connection. The Bureau uses the Modem - PCI Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP (COM3).

  Once I start the computer, log in to my user and connect to the Internet, I click on Internet Explorer and type in Google to see if it would work. It is said that "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". For iTunes, he would say "iTunes has not to connect to the iTunes Store." Make sure your network connection is active and try again. »

  I tried all solutions online and by phone. I reset netsh int ip / winsock. I reset Internet Explorer options. Nothing works.

  What is strange, is that the Internet connection works well on my laptop (using Conexant D110 MDC V.92 Modem (COM3)).

  It would be GREAT if you could help me find a solution to this problem, because this has happened for months, and I'm tired of waiting. I put all my hopes on you.

  You may be able to do a system restore if the original HP partition is always on the computer.

• Questions about upgrading a Compaq Presario CQ5205Y desktop computer system

  Good evening

  I'm about to embark on my first serious upgrade of my computer, and I thought it would be a good idea to arrive before I get too far down the rabbit hole (and knocked out my Internet access).  What motivates the need to upgrade, it's that the system tends to lag when I programs using a lot of memory running and I think I can give him a decent boost on reasonably low budget.

  I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5205Y Win7-64 bit without modification until running.  I'm lookin to upgrade the CPU and the RAM of the machine.  For ease of reference, here is the page describing the system:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c01859812&lang=en&cc=us&Conte...

  For the CPU, I found a good price on an AMD Phenom X 4 9750 2.4 GHz Quad-Core CPU (HD9750WCJ4BGH).  What I read, it meets the necessary criteria (socket AM2 + 95W, etc.).  I still need to determine if it needs a fan or non - language marketing indicates that it is not), but assuming that it works, here are my questions for this update:

  1 should I update the BIOS on the card, or change one of its parameters to recognize the new chip?

  2. with regard to the installation, I think that it's pretty simple - unlock/remove the Semprom LE-1300 that is there now, carefully align the new processor Phenom X 4 (Golden to golden triangle triangle) and tighten in place. Then, if necessary, install the fan/radiator.  Is this correct, or am I missing something important and potentially catastrophic?

  For the RAM, I have not bought, but I think I need barrettes 2x2gb DDR2 memory unbuffered, non - ECC memory.  I'm showing my ignorance here, but I imagine that rain is better in this case and is much better than the PC2-5300 memory PC2-6400.  If Yes, then maybe something like (or more affordable if I can find it):

  http://www.TigerDirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6252562&CSID=_61

  Once again, a couple of very similar questions:

  1. do I need to change BIOS settings after I installed memory or if the automatic detection system?

  2. I swapped memory on other computers before so I guess that this motherboard is always the same - unclip/dethrone the existing memory, slide into the new and snap it in place.  Does this sound right?

  In my view, which covers everything I know, but if anyone has any other advice or warning indication, they would certainly be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance for help a beginner brave new waters.

  Processor:

  (1) no updated BIOS available for this model

  (2) more or less correct... you will need a HSF (heatsink & fan) for the new processor and a thermal paste. After the installation of the CPU, you apply the thermal is dedicated to the then install the HSF. The stock will be Sempron HSF to adapt and work but can not dissipate the extra heat

  (3) it is one of these models that will accept AM3 Athlon II and Phenom II CPU (see CPU upgrade in specs), but if it is supported depends on the revision of the motherboard and the BIOS version. Your choice of Phenom 9750 is a sure way to go

  Memory:

  (1) once again, no BIOS update available for this model

  (2) sounds right

  (3) you can look at Newegg.com best prices
