Compaq Presario CQ5340SC: Compaq Presario CPU upgrade to Q8400 E3300 fails

Then...

I tried to uppgrade E3300 CPU of my Presario Q8400, but all I get is the bios error beep, machine/poster starts not at all, only the fans.

(1 short + 1 long = problem (?)) memory (?)

Compaq Presario CQ5340SC

Model MB is: H-I41-Μatx (Eton) and it should support "Core 2 Quad Q8xx0/Q9xx0 (core Yorkfield) (95W).

Power supply: 500W

Memory: 2 x 2 GB PC3-10600 DDR3 - 1333 Mhz (works fine with the old/original E3300 CPU)

OS: Windows 7 64 bit HomeEdition

BIOS: 5.09 11/27/09

Old processor: Intel Celeron Dual - Core E3300

New processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400

I tried with one stick of memory from 2 GB also, but not luck.

I tried to clear the cmos by jumper settins 2-3 1-2 for 10 sec (uninstalled powercord), no luck.

Any ideas? :[

Thank you for the additional information.

I'm not familiar with the memory you are using.  Came with the computer?  If this isn't the case, it may be cause of your problem.

  • HP/Compaq SR5710Y CPU upgrade fail

    Hello

    I have a desktop HP/Compaq Presario SR5710Y 4 years with the stock AMD AM2 Athlon 64 x 2 4450e 45 watts TDP CPU.  I want to upgrade the processor to a new dual core AM3 proc to allow more multi - load with most professional and academic applications.  I have an Athlon II 240 rated 65 watts TDP Regor I just replaced in my game with an 8-core machine unlocked (8120).  Telephone support HP says I should be able to use any AM2 + or AM3, so long that the TDP is 65watts or less but all get them is a black screen when I try the swap.  I wonder if there is an update of the Bios that could make this upgrade work.  Moreover, the Athlon II worked well in these kinds of applications in the other computer desktop, and since I returned to the Athlon 64 x 2 in the box from HP/Compaq, everything still seems to function with less demanding tasks.

    Altogether.

    Here is a link to the CPU supported by your motherboard and BIOS.  which are compatible.

    Pay special attention to the type of socket (775) and wattage of the series (only 65 watts cpu) when you buy the processor upgrade.

    You can purchase one from a provider either online or in a real store. There are better business online.

  • Support for Compaq SR5310F CPU

    I have a Compaq SR5310F desktop computer with a 2160 cpu c2d.  When I checked that the specifications for the cpu upgrade for this machine, I was advised he could accept a Pentium D 9xx and 960 was the highest.  When I got the Pentium D 960 and installed the computer reported it was not supported.  When I look in the CMOS, it is visible, but when I try to use the computer with the installed processor it just turned off.  There is a bios update for this machine or can I just have bad information of HP?

    This is the original factory specifications for the desktop Compaq Presario SR5310F. According to the specification, this model came with an Intel Pentium E2140 to the factory. Also, the specifications indicate that the following processors are supported;

    Type of socket: 775

    Core 2 Duo E4x00 with Dual Core (Conroe) until E4400 technology

    Pentium E2000 series (Conroe) until E2160

    Pentium D 9xx Dual Core (Presler) powered up to 960

    Pentium 4 series of 6 x 1 (Cedar Mill) up to 661

    Series Celeron 4xx up to 440

    Celeron D 3xx series (Cedar Mill) up to 365

    Celeron D 3xx series (Prescott) to 355

    The Core 2 Duo E4000 series is the best, while the series Celeron D300 is the worst CPU supported.

  • Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

    Hello world

    I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
    Can someone help me please?

    I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

    Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

    Thank you.

    I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
    Did you?

    Some facts first:
    Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
    In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

    Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
    Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
    Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

    Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

    But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.

    Hello

    With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
    This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

    Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

    The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
    So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
    But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.

    I would like to change to a better processor, a quadcore would be well, is - it possible?

    My Windows 7 tells me to change the battery, but the battery is ok. Google says its due to Windows and could be solved by the BIOS updated. I have the newest

    Thank you

    Hello

    I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

  • Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - CPU upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X and I was wondering which processors 'Dual Core' support this laptop for a CPU upgrade?

    Have a read of other peoples threads, it is possible for the laptop to have an upgrade, but I'm not sure of what those who actually support. The most common dual core would be the dual core 'Stalk' However, there are many processors that go under the name "stalk".

    I was also wondering if all Toshiba L450Ds have the same motherboard etc... because they contain the same case and (mostly) graphics card

    Thank you very much

    I assume that you have already read this Toshiba doesn't support CPU upgrade and a public document on processors compatible doesn t exist.
    You can just hope that someone has an identical identical machine with the hardware platform and can offer some info on these updates.

    For best performance, you can start with the RAM upgrade. Have you upgraded RAM to max level?

    > My question is, can I upgrade my current processor with all of the processors on this list?

    Probably yes.
    But the fact is that no one would be able to answer this question because this CPU upgrade isn't officially supported. This means that gift of manufacturers of mobile phone t provide any information on this upgrade and compatibility.

    You can try these updates with your own hands and hope that the BIOS would be able to manage this new CPU.

  • Satellite C850-1 kN and CPU Upgrade

    I recently got my hands on one of these laptops. It has a Pentium 960 b for the moment, but I searched for Intel i3 - 3110M or Intel i3 processor - 3130M CPU on eBay to replace the slower Pentium.

    Both are IvyBridge, identical to the original and both have a TDP of 35W, which means that they should not belt any more heat it does (or at least no more than the fan can handle, because the fans are usually designed to be mass produced and used in many different laptops (, but the same form factor)

    Someone had a bit of luck the upgrade of their CPU in Toshiba laptops? I guess I'm of the same generation of processor Intel should mean support BIOS already integrated into the planks of the BIOS...

    I can tell you that a lot of people have been able to upgrade the processor in their notebooks of Toshiba but fact is simple as this upgrade isn't officially supported by laptop manufacturers and can be done at your own risk.
    Generally the CPU upgrade depends on chipset and BIOS support.

    The laptop supports the Mobile HM70 Express Chipset Intel - compatible and supported processors are Intel ARK page in compatible products section:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-BD82HM70-PCH

    To be honest I don't think that all compatible CPUS are but it s a good start point.

    However, the BIOS must support also the new processor and maybe it's the thorny question since no one knows what are the processors supported by the BIOS because this information isn't out of nowhere.

  • G6-1262sa Pavilion: Pavilion g6-1262sa CPU upgrade v2, Sandy Bridge = > Ivy Bridge?

    Hi, thanks to the Pavilion g6-1262sa maintenance and manual cleaning and this great forum, I recently discovered that replace my i3-2330 m is possible with all sandy bridge i7 2620m processors.

    These questions may sound silly, but I continued my research and I have more ideas to confront reality as a couple.

    I realize that the compatibility is not only matter of editing the same socket, but also of the bios installed on certain motherboard, however:

    1. do you think it would be possible to Exchange Sandy Bridge (2nd generation) i3 - 2330 m for some Ivy Bridge (3rd generation) i5-3210 m?

    2 is the 32nm to 22nm manufacturing technology enough difference on its own (even if the rest of the architecture is the same) to prevent that to work?

    3 is the bios from my card mother g6 identyfying somehow installed processor? (if this isn't on 'the list' it simply won't work? "or what technical compatibility issue?

    According to some statements which I found it on some forums and sites (and a few facts documented free):

    Socket: the two processors are compatible with BGA1023 decision-making. (at least that's what I found, if someone could confirm I would be grateful)

    Difference of architecture: "The 3rd generation is called 'Ivy Bridge' and is essentially a copy of Sandy Bridge made on a smaller scale, or die." However, Intel also focused on beefing up of the onboard graphics in this generation. »

    TDP: both are 35 W

    Carrots: both are 2 physical (Virtual 4 - thanks to hyperthreading I guess?)

    Energy consumption: "Ivy Bridge CPUS also use less energy", "Ivy Bridge consumes less energy; around 10w, I think. »

    Temperature: i5-3210 m going 5 * C more - 2330 m - i3 shouldn't make much difference

    Looking forward to some responses, RacA

    It is not a technical incompatibility (socket) because as you probably know Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge are backward compatible on most motherboards desktop. However, HP has only implemented gen 2d, processor Intel Core compatibility of the HM65 Express chipset that you a. motherboards supporting 3rd gen processors use the HM77 chipset. There is no another motherboard that will fit in your frame.

    Your analysis above, which was pretty good, left out the chipset, which you must always remember when assessing the possibilities of upgrade:

    http://www.CPU-upgrade.com/MB-Intel_%28chipsets%29/HM65_Express.html

    The HM65 supports a couple 3rd gen processors, but none of them are on the list of HP for your model. You can try one of those shown in the link I gave, but I think that there is a small chance that they will work.

  • Satellite M60 - issue CPU upgrade

    Hello out there!

    I am a happy owner of a Satellite M60.
    I recently installed Win7 pro and nothing works well.

    I was offered a new processor Intel M770 and
    now, I would like to hear if anyone has any experience changin processor in a laptop.

    The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

    If I swap the processors, my laptop will get faster, or it will explode like a hurricane and disappear into a smokecloud?

    Best regards

    > The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

    Well, generally the CPU upgrade is a really complicated because of the compatibility of the BIOS history, but I think you have a good chance to get the laptop working with new CPU M770. It belongs to the same family of CPU as the old CPU and chipsets support is the same.
    In addition, I think that this laptop overheating not using this CPU of course there is more the dissipation of heat thanks to the fastest performance, but I think that the cooling modules should handle this

    Of course, it s just my opinion personal and everything what you would do is at your own risk.

    Good luck
