Compaq Presario SR5506F: update BIOS of BACK command line?

Hello

I would like to be able to Flash the BIOS to the boot prompt, or with a USB/CD/DVD based tool. I can't open any OS even from live DVD.

My Presario SR5507F came originally with Vista installed, but over the years, it has been upgraded to Windows 8.1. He gave us many years of reliable service, but sometimes the last fall the PC began to experience some powerdowns and seemingly random reboots.

Things get pregressively worse until the PC was unusable. He would go for 15 or 20 minutes and then restart. The trouble began shortly after a Windows Update, so I thought it was a problem of update patch or driver. I tried return that a withdrawal patches nothing helps. I also tried to install Ubuntu and Fedora, but they have the same problems. Fedora is worse than Ubuntu, however. I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1, then 7, and finally the original Vista operating system 32-bit, but all the Windows installations fail at some point during the installation drivers. The computer passes just a restart endless cycle and cannot install Windows.

I performed memory tests, but they all go and I use a text based operating system, such as BACK.

I tried to reflash the BIOS, thinking he was damaged in one of the restarts, but since I can't install any version of Windows, the BIOS flash tools refuse to work. I need to be able to Flash the BIOS from the prompt at startup or DOS command. Is there such a tool from Compaq/HP?

Thank you!

    Thank you for the additional information and the link with your computer's specifications, @NeelCool.

    Before making any recommendations, I want you to know that your computer is not simply cabable of being a machine good game.  The most important thing against the fact that the maximum memory is only 2 GB, DDR.  It is simply not enough to work with recent intensive video games.  In addition, the only expansion slots are PCI and AGP.  They are very slow.  I'd rather see you save money and buy a newer computer when you can afford it.

  • Compaq Presario SR1739UK update

    I have a Compaq Presario SR1739UK I want to upgrade the RAM, graphics card and processor so that in series Windows 7 much more quickly than he is and get all the features of Windows 8 (except touch, of course). It's my kids PC, so while I want them to do well enough, it will not be used for the online games or something like that, especially it will be used for web browsing and streaming of media through media library, so I don't want to spend a lot of money. Before I go ahead and buy all the parts I wanted to check that I can do and if there are traps I need to know.

    RAM

    It's easy, I replace just the existing cards to 2 x 512 MB with 2 x 1 GB cards

    Graphics

    This PC has an ATI Radeon Express chipset built in. I understand that I can not remove it, but I should be able to add a graphics card on the PCI or PCI - E slots right? Any recommendations on a good replacement? He didn't need to make amazing graphics of games or something like that, but it would be nice if it could handle Aero in Windows 7 and Windows 8 multi-tasking and don't want to spend ridiculous money - up to £50 or £60 I guess. Also should I upgrade the PSU?

    Processor

    It is the delicate issue. This PC has an Asteropi-GL8E motherboard with a Pentium 4 processor and looking at specifications supported on the HP site, it seems that it is only expandable to Intel Pentium D820 or D900, which are abandoned. Can anyone tell if I can use a more modern processor, ideally bicoeur with a bit more ooomph and if so what models?

    Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated, especially around the issue of the processor.

    Hello:

    Only, you would be able to upgrade to one of the Pentium D 9xx processors. You can find a decent supply of sell them (used, but tested and functional) in ebay.

    So you can go for the max - 945. I would like to get the one with sSpec SL9QQ.

    http://www.eBay.co.UK/SCH/Intel-CPUs-/14293/i.html?CPU%2520Manufacturer=Intel&LH_BIN=1&_nkw=Pentium%20D%20945&_clu=2&_dmpt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&_fcid=3&_localstpos=&_sc=1&_sop=15&_stpos=&GBR=1

    Video: I need to know what the power supply, but for me a sure bet would be an opportunity but tested and functional ATI Radeon HD 2400 PCi Express video card.

    The Dell card will work in your RESUME.  You will need a cable of the monitor or DVI adapter DVI / VGA, because it has only a DVI offline. It has a S-video out to TV connection, but most of the monitors is not a S-Video input

    This card has two DVI and VGA ports.

    I prefer fanless cards because they are silent and without fan out.

    But it is up to you.

    This path allows you to save a lot of money, and you get a pretty powerful PC.
