• Compaq Presario CQ61, unable to boot the laptop

  Compaq Presario CQ61 running Windows 7 Home Premium (build 7601) bought about 4 years ago.

  Computer failed to restart after a period of sleep.  I suspect that it doesn't have an automatic restart after automatic installation of an update - it's only a guess because I have no access to the computer at the moment, but I had a similar problem recently - on this occasion, I got a 'Safe Mode' start - by pressing F8 repeatedly gave me access to the appropriate screen.  I've implemented subsequently by restoring the system to a point just before a automatic installation of a critical Windows Update, and that seemed to do the trick.

  On this occasion the F8 route has no effect on the problem; the 'caps lock' and 'NumLock' continually of the blink just of LED (i.e. not a limited number of times), the fan starts, but there is no other sign of life.  I tried a hard restart, but without result.  I also removed and replaced memory, but once again no effect.

  Can you please advise.

  I'm so sorry I couldn't help you solve the problem, but maybe you could try to free the keyboard, nothing will happen if you do not lose the cpu and tight again. I know that the keyboard one is hard, persevering, best wishes.

• Compaq Presario F730US RAM/OS issues

  Hello world!

  I recently acquired a NICE Compaq Presario F730US laptop with a fresh install of Vista Home Premium. It seems to do very well, except for a few things, but people have been (literally, everyone) telling me I had to upgrade to Windows 7. That, I would be OK with this, as an upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Family Premium is $ 90 at Amazon at the moment, but I don't know if I have enough RAM.  I have 1 GB installed and want to install more, but the problem is, according to critical, most computer media is 2 GB, correct?  I mean, that seems to be enough to run Vista properly, (he does well on 1 GB, honestly, but Aries is anywhere between 50 and 90%, usually + 80% with running programs), but I read that Windows 7 requires 1 GB to run by itself.  If this is the case, 2 GB seems worth enough (Vista is a 32-bit operating system installed here, and 7 would be so 32-bit) this laptop can be used more than 2 GB?  I don't know why they are "limited" on the RAM, appears as a type of thing is really not necessary to limit. If 2GB is the absolute most it may take, 2 GB will work Vista Edition Home Premium, or is it better to leave with Vista? I heard a lot of horror stories about Vista, while everyone else seems to love 7. I checked the Support/Drivers section, and there has not been an update of the BIOS in almost 3 years, so this is the original that is currently on the computer.

  Thanks to you all.

  p.s., while I am, can this laptop take a bigger hard drive?  250, 320 AND 500 GB?  Are there specific features in this category?

  Thank you.

  Hi, you can install up to 2 GB of memory. I would stay with Vista just upgrade to the latest service pack.

  You can also upgrade your drive hard the largest stay only available with the 5400 RPM.

  The main problem in the Win7 upgrade will be device drivers

• Compaq presario cq61: change the boot sequence

  I have 10 Windows upgrade on my compaq Presario cq61 free. I want to do a clean install of Windows 10. I downloaded the tool of Microsoft Media, made a key USB and DVD containing the clean install. I am told that the use of the flash player, I have to change the boot sequence in the bios. I tried everything from ESC, all numbers F and LED to try to enter the bios and all have failed. Told me that all I had to do with the DVD was just put it in and start the computer and the laptop would boot from the DVD and I could make my own installation from there. Which also failed. The only thing I have not tried is downgrade to Windows 7, affecting Windows 7 back to factory settings, then reinstall the free update of Windows 10. I would not have to go through all if I mostly because I bought the laptop from a friend and it was installed at the factory of Windows 7 and I don't got no disc software to the computer so I don't want to screw up and drop windows 7 without the appropriate software reinstall to match the product key.

  Any help to enter in the bios or advice that could help me reach my goal would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Here are some other suggestions.

  1. start the machine in Windows 10.

  Open settings and select System.  Select food and sleep, and then click additional power settings - in the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

  In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close any open windows and stop the laptop by right clicking on the icon from the Start Menu, then select prompt (Admin) and click 'Yes' to the uac prompt.

  Type (or copy and paste) the following command (including spaces) and click Enter.

  Shutdown /s /t 0

  Tap on the ESC key as soon as you turn it on and see if it will now access the Start Menu.

  2 try to connect a keyboard external usb and see if this will allow you to access the Start Menu.

• Boot from USB on Compaq Presario V2610

  Hello

  I have an old machine on which I intend to install Lubuntu 13.10 replacing, which is the following.

  Compaq Presario V2610 notebook PC

  PhoenixBIOS F.25

  BIOS settings:

  Advanced > Boot Order >-hard drive >

  BIOS hard drive Option:

  ! IC25N060... (I disabled the HARD drive via the '! ')

  AVIXE PDU01_2G 67A2.0 (I have a USB 2.0 flash drive that also supports 1.0, which the BIOS sees it, and it is recognized)

  The BIOS is configured to try hard as third in the boot order, even the default normal setting.

  I confirmed that this USB itself and its distribution Lubuntu is valid. Lubuntu stops on her successfully, on another machine manufacturer and BIOS. However, when I try to boot from the USB port on the Presario, I see:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM

  If I connect a LAN cable to remove this message, I see this instead:

  CLIENT MAC ADDR: (mac address) GUID: (guid)

  DHCP... (spinning "/")

  PXE - E53: no boot file received

  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM

  I didn't, it should be a cable LAN by the BIOS for a standalone install USB, but in all cases, the BIOS doesn't seem to be reading this viable USB Lubuntu drive. I tried both ports on the machine.

  I also tried a Win7-32 bit USB, via USB from the separate manufacturer a - DATA. In both cases, the Presario BIOS recognizes the device, the name of his unique manufacturer, but fails to boot on it.

  Can you let me know what I am doing wrong?

  Hello

  I solved the problem on my own. It turns out that boot prescription must be set up in the BIOS, rather than simply turn off the HARD disk write via «!» F5/F6 accomplishes that.

  BIOS hard drive Option:

  AVIXE PDU01_2G 67A2.0 (F6 to swap the order)

  IC25N060...

  The USB key is then recognized at startup.

  Sorry for the post.

• How to boot from USB-drive on Compaq Presario CQ57 400SO

  Hi @kvartsnorsk

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I know that you are looking for drivers for Windows XP, unfortunately, this laptop was not sold configured for this OS. Drivers are available for windows 7 and 8 (32 and 64 bit)

  What happens if I do not see my operating system?

  On the boot USB device, it is likely that your bootable usb image isn't UEFI, so you should enable legacy boot in the BIOS to allow boot off this device.

• Unable to connect to the internet with my Compaq Presario CQ5500F after a clean install of Win 7 64 bit

  Hello

  I recently did a clean install on my Compaq Presario CQ5500F desktop, but when I finished, I realized that I could not connect to wireless internet almost anything. To clarify, my internet worked before the clean install. I know exactly of what readers have been installed, but I do not know the network controller has a yellow question mark on it now. (See attached image)

  In addition, it seems that the computer does not have a wireless card although I was previously using an omnidirectional antenna external wireless connected to my wifi.

  I have already visited the HP/Compaq site here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4209... to install the drivers, but it seems that the network controller, it does not install correctly.

  Can someone help me please? I am very frustrated.

  In fact, I just solved it!

  I looked up the material ID I had just posted on Google and found that someone had the driver on his Skydrivefiles. Then I followed their instructions and went into the Device Manager and selected Update driver the driver of your properties of network adapters tab and pointed on the expanded files.

  Turns out I need files for Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN Card.

  Everything works again!

  Thanks for me direction in the right way, Paul!

  I hope that someone else has acquired this too!

• Keyboard and trackpad which does not Compaq presario CQ60

  Help!

  My keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop do not react and do not have external devices to see if it is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Mode safe as the keyboard is unresponsive, however it allows me to type my password to access vista! I think I just lock the computer, but do not know how unlock, various forums have specified relocation drivers etc, but I am unable to do this without functional keyboard and do not know how if I pressed a key combination that caused it. I don't know if it's a problem of Vista or Compaq/HP.

  Immensely from any help appreciated!

  as far as I know, if you can type your password on the login screen, then the keyboard works, if the problem appears after the connection or it will appear when you are on your desktop screen, it may be a problem of operating system or a problem with corruption of user account

  the keyboard would be a hardware failure, if when you turn on your nb, there will be no ligts on the keyboard will make the capslock key does not illuminate or does not at all as long as you turn on the nb

  for the touchpad, try to check if its or disable... If there is a light orange above the touch pad then sound off, toggle the switch the light to turn to blue...

  so before anything else... TRY THIS FIRST!

  1. remove the battery

  2 disconnect the power adapter

  3. no power supply at all, press in and hold the button for 1 min... Be sure that it will be 1 min...

  technically, we call this HARD RESET... This process would free electricity static that could be included on the power button spout these electrostatic charges sometimes causes harware malfunctionalities...

  then it this step does not work... do this...

  try to go into safe mode by continuously pressing F8 during startup (press F8 when you see the hp invent screen), then you will be directed to advance startup options... Choose last known good config... Then, it will boot to the last known good setting...

  Please let me know if this does not work...

  Otherwise, ' choose repair your computer "on the start options... Choose the American keyboard layout... so if asked for a user name and password, you can change the administrator username username and then put your password... If you do not use any password leave it blank... then choose Startup Repair...

  Please let me know if this does not work...

  I hope this helps...

• Compaq Presario SR2010NX beep code error starting: longbeeppausecontinuinglongbeepspausebetweeneach

  Hello.  My Compaq Presario Desktop PC SR2010NX of 2006 began just not start.  It gives me a sound code of long beeps that accompany pause after each beep and continue indefinitely.  I have tried convenience cheques, and it looks as if it was the 'memory '.  My question, FEI's memory, what cards are hardware compatible with my PC.  I had a breakdown.    to install a new set of 2 GB cards in July - and I had technicians immediately reinstall my old 2 cards (issued factory) replacement cards they have advised me to buy are not compatible, and when I went to pick up my computer, the computer would not start.  I have askede to reinstall my old cards and the computer booted suceesfully, and I left the store!  I am sure that I do not know what new products could be compatible with my old PC.  I thhink 4 GB is too myuch for my computer, and he couldn't get half that - but what brand should be like new hardwrae?  I wasn't expecting my old cards fail when they were resettled - three months since the change of memory attempt - thre months they started normally.  They have been re-hurriedly harnessed and dismissed the case, and then I left the store.  (The tech threatedned me with fear of "motherboard failure", which just made get the computer and leave immediately.  The old cards cannot have been relocated safely.  I'm taking it - but I will not be pushed around.  Of course - as old as mine PC would gradually motherboard failure.  Until it fails.  It was the memory card, but what woud cards my PC take that would be accepted as new hardware and allow my PC to boot up normally, if it is the cards and not yet the motherboard?

  I have now read the post with indicator on the upgrade memory.  It was very useful, and I wrote notes for the Presario.

  It says, maximusmis 2 GB to 1 GB cards/no stamped with the form of the data of motherboard page.

  It is divided between 2 cards 512 MB factory.  It has only 2 slots.

  Thank you.  My Compaq desktop computer has grown on me.  I got Vista bfore and I didn't know what I think.  If it can be repaired, I think 8 years (purchase date 4 November 2006) were fun for the low-end model.  It was a good choice, and I have never regretted buying at what cost.  It was better than expected.

  I haven't used my Compaq Presario continually over the past eight years - that's why it lasted so long!  Dud ut do work, however.  I had retirement is put online last year

  I liked HP Photosmart first 6.5 photo editing.  I liked Wordpad.  Mechanically, it was scientifically.  The material began to go when the built-in CD/DVD internal drive has failed.  I bought and had a replacement (DVD player (cd) internal HP) installed in July 2014.

  The new internal DVD writer HP compatible service pack XP? I have SP2) - I don't think it's about compatible new material.  This caused unable to start new businesses after three months?  New feature of device recognistion and old motherboard? Don't know?  (short circuit)?  I left the old CD/DVD recorder factory in its case - it's there and the springs are working to open and close the casing and check it / A short?  Don't know anything about electric

  Another point, when the original memory card 512 MB on factory 2 cards have been resettled, he was press-technicians to get the computer to boot - so the computer's case has been closed.   (I took the PC on their part awqay as fast it was closed upward).  I thought safe in maintaining clips?  Maybe not securely harnessed.  Could also be from the old factory of 512 memory cards in each clip spare wedge - to alternate which card and which support clip.  I have not tried this or re-cutting to the place of repair.  (I do not have any technical installation and not have ny contact danger here - I do not touch the computer).  It is the matter of repair - these people in a hurry, they sell - they tell you something will work, they overtest, they overdiagnose - they push you autour-yyou never recover your computer to use as is - it is disturbing to go, if you are not a consumer savvy or technical.

  May not be able to take new material old = change motherboard in chipsets, etcs. features.

  Ialso had an error saying years only. IPC Port would not work.  (. COMI is the base model for the CPA called Palm Zire Hotsync Manager.  I don't think the Palm Zire software uninstalled iI, and the message is a (!) origin unknown error message is:. COMI, has failed to initialize.  It's a pop-up error message appeared during the startup process.  The repair people off the message.  The boot has been at once - disconnect - the plugin twice and electric start.  It was based on the plug in the socket, removed and reconnected before the start =.  Technicians tried to solve this problem, but it is not important from my point of view.  All of those, cumulatively, could be symptoms of a hardware change progressive until the end of the use of PC - they are all could be chips card mother falling out or something there (the CD player, the.) Port COMI - don't know about the real, even if start program - which can only be that.)

  I tried the power reset function discussed in the Troubleshooting Online Web pages - 5 seconds to reset, / 15 seconds to reset - power off (unplugged) and hold the power button / stop without plug-in for 5 or 15 seconds (depends on the Web page of the online manual!)  Once, after an attempt to reset of fifteen seconds, the computer has no beep, and he almost made a second rumble noise - but then no change afterwards.  The redonnee start-up sound code beep after that the computer was turned off and then restarted again.

  PC is sitting in his corner.  I don't want someone break while I think about what to do.  He's going nowhere right now.

  This is the first time, it would not start.  I am a bit worried and disappointed, but, I know that my PC is old, and one day, it will fail to work.  That is the reality.  If it fi fixable, I'm interested to hear about the fit-it.  Thanks again.

  Hello @lliil,

  I read what you posted and it seems that you have a hardware problem with your computer. The only thing I can do for you is to provide you with the HP support document: BIOS Beep Codes, which will help you to correctly identify what's wrong with your computer. Given the age of the computer apart from this if you want to know if it can be fixed, I recommend do you get into a local computer repair shop and let them take a look.

  I hope I helped. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

• Compaq Presario SR1150NX: Error, disk Compaq recovery dead

  Hello, I have a desktop Compaq Presario SR1150NX of 2005. Everything works well in it and we emptied dust not for long. But then, one day I went to start it it says a critical system file was missing. I'm confused at first. After half an hour, creating a USB disk only to find it didn't work, I then had to use the Windows XP Recovery Console. Then after I fixed it it still didn't start because it couldint find the file. But when I start the computer, it shows me that, if I press F10, it boots into system recovery mode. OT started and told me that I could boot into windows xp system recovery. But in the middle of this, the computer overheats and shuts down. When I tried to turn it on again it gave me a disc error AND when I boot in recoervy, it's just bluescreens. Now when I turn on the computer, it does nothing.

  Is there any where where I could download a recoervy tool to open the hard drive in order to get the data on the drive and get a new drive? Or get a Windows recovery disc?

  Any help is the Apprecited!

  Remove the disk from the desktop.

  Buy

  USB 2.0 for HDD SATA/IDE adapter 2.5/3.5/5.25IN drives w / adapter

  See: http://www.ncix.com/detail/usb2-0-to-sata-ide-drive-adapter-a3-17762.htm

  and connect your hard disk with this adapter to a USB port on your computer.

  When you connect, Windows will ask your permission to run 'check disk' ('CHKDSK') to review and fix any problem of file system.

  I think that the corrupt currently-system files on the hard drive is causing startup problems you reported.

  Re-connect the desktop "repaired" disk drive, and then try again.

• Ntkrnlmp.exe does not load on Compaq Presario SR1303WM

  Hello, all, someone please advise. I have a Compaq Presario, ~ 40 GB Hd, 256 MB of ram, Windows XP Home SP2. The user tells me it has fried, couple of blocking issues and freezes here and there, so I take it home to try reinstalling the operating system to factory.

  I save all the data for a value of savings and try a system restore just to see what is happening, so I chose to come back to a point in March. After the restore, I get a message "could not start bcause the file next is missing or corrupt: Windows\System32\Config\System" and information on the repair with the original installation CD. So next I go to the recovery console to start the relocation and get the message "Cannot load ntkrnlmp.exe" with an error code 7.

  I look online and see on resetting the Bios default and shooting of ACPI on the computer, can someone please advise on the place to go on this particular machine? I have also reinstalled the memory and upgraded to 512, still the same messages.

  I ordered the hp system recovery disks but the machine will not even read the first disk. It CAN read a Windows 98 boot disk, I can access the a: prompt and switch for fair c: and d:, readers will not read this disc. I tried another disc of restoration for a Compaq machine, but it was the wrong - he read and gave me a message "the system restore disks do not support this Compq PC model."

  All advice is appreciated. Thank you.

  Well, it sounds as if the recovery partition is no longer usable. Try to start at the C: prompt and format the drive. Type format C:, and then press ENTER. Allow to format and then try the disks.

• Problem with the Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX

  Hello, I'm having a problem with my NEW Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX mother. Every time it boots up vista and I run internet explorer, I get a strange blue screen which exports a file memory and reboots.

  I have the feeling that this might have been caused by a virus, but I can't do something, because Vista can't reformat long for some reason any.

  I tried a hard test in my motherboard and he said that there is something wrong with my hard drive.

  I don't know what is happening, right now I'm in safe mode trying to find viruses that Nod32 does not detect everything.

  Can someone tell me how I can get either the Windows XP Discs to work at startup (which, for some reason, they do not), or an alternative to a long format?

  Is there a way to fix this without reformatting? There's almost nothing on this laptop anyway so I'm always willing to do. A regular format has done nothing to solve the problem, I did it with Ubuntu and it did a quick format, but I had no problem with Ubuntu. Then I reinstall Vista and I am constantly having problems with a blue screen of death.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  The Chemich does not exist

  If you want to do a reinstall of Vista then press F11 continuously during the boot upward. This will bring you in Recovery Options were you can choose to restore the system in the same State as when it was purchased. But if, as you suggested, is that a problem of hard drive reinstall won't help.

• Compaq Presario F700 laptop - replacement of Ethernet (NIC)

  Hi all!

  I have recently switched to my laptop to XP. I had the hardest time finding drivers for the LAN.  So I finally found them and now the connection is always limited or no connectivity when connected via ethernet.

  I tried to release and renew the IP address, but the system is unable to renew it through CMD.  My internet works fine with my other two computers.  I used the same ethernet cable connected to this computer to my laptop and they are all lead to limited connectivity or not.

  I think that the NETWORK card must be replaced, but I can't find the replacement part number.  I don't see the number for the WLAN.  Could this be the same room?  I don't think so, because the wireless is fine, it's just the connection to the LAN which I seem to have a problem with.  I see not even where I can access the bottom of the laptop ethernet card.

  I received the spare part of this thread - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Compaq-Presario-F700-Laptop-NIC-Replacement/td-p/1639...

  Anyone know what part I need to replace the LAN ethernet, not wifi adapter?  (unless they are the same, want to make sure before order).

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  To replace the ethernet card, you will need to replace the motherboard together.

  The link you mentioned (which I answered the way back when), was to replace the wireless network card.

  I recommend that you just buy an adapter USB to RJ-45 ethernet until you buy a new PC.

  If your laptop has an amd processor, XP driver you should use.
