Compaq Presario CQ56-112SA: updated the Chipset drivers
I had a "sleep mode" problem with my laptop recently in that, if I select 'sleep' the laptop screen goes black, the fan continues to run and doesn't wake up with the keyboard or the mouse. I then turn off and turn on then and Notepad opens in "Windows Error Recovery".
It was suggested that I should update the chipset drivers as a possible solution.
Are there risks in doing this?
Hello:
According to the AMD Web site, it would be the last chipset driver for the chipset that has your model.
http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download/chipset?OS=Windows%207%20-%2064
You can also run the auto detects a software and see if amd draws a different driver and try this one first.
http://support.AMD.com/en-us/download
Risk to install guide are that driver not install, or if it's the operating system does not start on reboot.
Can't tell you what would be the chances of something bad happening. I would say not very high. But if your luck is like mine, then...
Another problem could be the graphics driver. You may want to reinstall that where some files display driver got screwed up over time.

Compaq Presario CQ56: What is the best CPU upgrade I can do for my Compaq Presario CQ56?
What can improve my current AMD V140 to?
Hello
The following link shows the specifications of your computer:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02542735
Not much you can do with the following list
But if you want, please use the page 75 the following manual shows you how to replace the CPU on your machine:
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02657369.PDF
My suggestion: don't waste money to upgrade, save more money to buy the new machine. Now your machine is a bit old and new machines are much cheaper than 5 or 6 years before.
Kind regards.

I have a compaq presario cq56-115dx notebook pc and I wiped the hardrive without knowing
Hello
I have a Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX laptop running on Windows 7. I wiped the hardrive without knowing what would happen, and now when I turn it on it has a black screen with a white dash flashes. I was wondering if there was a way to solve this problem.
Thank you!
Hello:
You will need to order a set of recovery disks.
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143
Or if you can read your Microsoft W7 product key you can make your own windows 7 installation disc.
Here's how:
If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.
Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.
The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

Compaq Presario CQ56-110US: Will Compaq CQ56 8 GB RAM support?
According to the Compaq Presario Maintenance and Service of Guide matrix on page 2 (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02657369), my Compaq Presario CQ56-110US laptop supports up to 8 GB of system memory, but by following a few lines to the bottom of the guide, it lists the configuration information that tops out at a total of 4 GB. If I remove the 2 existing memory chips (1 GB each) and install two 4GB chips, my laptop will support the upgrade to 8 GB?
Compaq Presario CQ56-110US laptop
Processor Intel® Celeron® 900 (2.2 GHz)
Supports dual channel DDR2 800 MHz memory
Thank you

Hello:
Unfortunately, your model will not support 2 x 4 GB of memory.
This is because it is equipped with an Intel Celeron processor, your laptop is the chipset Mobile Intel GL-40.
This chipset only supports a maximum of 2 x 2 GB memory.
http://Ark.Intel.com/products/35501/Intel-82GL40-graphics-and-memory-controller-hub
By the way... 2 x 4 GB memory DDR2 would cost a lot of money. It was the cheapest I could find.

an operating system is not on my compaq presario cq56
I tried to reset my computer & reset all my drivers. Now when I turn it on, it indicates an operating system is not found. Please, press ctrl, alt, delete to restart. When I did, the message continues to appear & the computer is a compaq presario cq56. Could someone tell me what can I do to fix this?
Mrsbailey,
I'm sorry for what happened, I don't think you did anything just a crazy accident.
You'll need to order the factory created to disk for this computer. If you reside in the United States or to the Canada, you can contact HP technical support to the 1-800-474-6836 or if you reside in another country, you can click on this link and then click on your country and the number is provided.
If you have access to another computer, you can order them online.
1. click on this link
2. click on drivers and software
3. Insert the product number or model number
4. choose your current operating system
5 scroll down to "order recovery Media.
Because you have Windows 8 disk must be there unless the computer is so new that they were not placed on the site yet.
Please answer as soon as possible.
Thank you

Compaq Presario CQ56 - :(wireless Internet problem
Hey everybody,
So I just joined here to see if anyone can help with my problem, because frankly, I'm out of options now about two weeks asking friends and colleagues and searching the Internet for answers to similar problems. I tried twice with the information I found on this site for quite some time and it does not work for me!
In any case, I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop. It has been implemented correctly when I bought it, everything worked perfectly. I managed to catch a virus that prevented me from even turn on my computer (which is strange, because I'm not a fool with computers, and I know what not to do/download sites to visit), so I had to restart my computer to stock, I used my Windows 7 disc, partitions formatted and installed windows again.
Now, for some reason it doesn't connects wireless Internet. It connects when I have an ethernet cable connected, but it is not all networks, as shown in this screenshot:
(And also here's a cute Bunny for your pleasure)
So you see my problem it is very frustrating. I don't know what is the cause, but I guess it must be a driver problem? Which is why I write here, if this is indeed in the wrong section, please accept my apologies.
Here is an another screenshots that can help, just in case:
If someone could shed some light on the problem for me, or even to resolve, I'd be very grateful it is extremely annoying. As I said, it works fine when I have my laptop connected to the internet, when I'm in College, but when I come on a weekend, I can't put my laptop, because I only WiFi at home.
Thanks for reading
Hayley R
You are the very welcome, Hayley.
The problem is that the needs of the wireless (network controller) one adapter driver installed and here is the link for the driver you need.
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-107849-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en
Once you install the driver above, the wireless should work just fine.
Best regards
