Compaq Presario SR5518F graphics card drivers

I'll be upgrading the graphics card on my Compaq Presario SR5518F (already made sure the card I got was compatiable).

Before I come and do something for the card, I have to ask you a few questions.

1.) should I uninstall the graphics card drivers

2.) should I uninstall the card in general

(3.) when I get the graphics card installed, is it safe to install the drivers in safe mode or normal mode?

Thanks for the help!

Hello:

Yes, before you install the new video card, you should go to Device Manager, click to expand the display of the maps, right-click in the graphics section and select uninstall.

Depending on the operating system that you are running, if there is a driver uninstall box to check, check this box.

Instead of restarting the PC, simply close it down, unplug it, install your new video card and you should be all set, and as Eric posted, you install the new drivers in Windows 'normal' mode

If you lose your integrated audio system (you can according to the model) If your new video card has an HDMI output port, you will need to go into BIOS, find the onboard audio setting.

It will be either automatic or off value.

Change the setting to "Enabled". Save the setting it by hitting the F10 key and again when you go out.

After reboot and return to windows, you should have the on-board audio back.

  • the Compaq Presario CQ3074L graphics card upgrade

    Hello

    I was planning on upgrading my graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 4350 for purposes of games.

    the problem is that I don't know what superior graphics card should I buy that will be compatible with the motherboard, processor and memory Compaq Presario CQ3074L screening.

    I was hoping that if anyone could advice me chart compatible cards.

    Thank you.

    \(^.^)/

    You can go for a VGA card exceeding not power consumption 75 w which is the limitation of PCIe slot. I also recommend the upgrade of power. If the VGA up to 75w (like nVidia GF530 or 540) I would like to go at least 300W PSU and more than 400W or more would be appropriate. Maps on 75W have connector 6 extra pins to provide a separate power to the VGA card.

  • Compaq presario sr5518f upgrade processors

    First of all, I apologize if I do not write in the correct section.  A little new here.

    in any case, I'm going to completely overhaul my Compaq Presario SR5518F.  I'll get a new graphic/video card, power supply, and processor.

    Speaking of the processor, I have a question for someone who would know the upgrade of processors.

    The specs of my PC (which can be accessed HERE) said I can move to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7xxx.  I'm looking at upgrading to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 processor which has close to 3.0 Ghz (2.8 to be precise) of the operating speed.

    The question I have, is the Intel Core 2 Duo processor E7400 compatiable for my Compaq Presario computer motherboard?  I have never replaced or upgraded forever, and so I want to make sure I'm making the right decisions when buying upgrades.

    I would appreciate your help or you guys could give me advice.   Thank you and have a nice!

    Hello

    As you can see from the following link:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01386897

    It supports Core 2 Duo E7xxx (Wolfdale-M) CPU means that it will support CPU E7400 but you must update the BIOS to make sure.

    Kind regards.

    I'm playing Harry Potter 1-4 on my laptop, but it has not installed properly and bugs in scene 1. I contacted manufacturers of games on this subject and they told me to update my graphics card drivers but I can't find where they are on this site. Does anyone know how and where I can update the drivers?

    Hi mate

    All Toshiba drivers can be found on the European driver Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com
    Satellite L500D - 16L belongs to the series of PSLT9E.
    You can choose this in order to get all the drivers for the laptop.

    But in many cases the driver versions are not similar to the latest versions available on the pages of graphics card manufacturer.
    To the point that the Toshiba drivers are modified and released the mobile use FRO drivers ATI/NVidia don't support overheating protection that helps to control the temperature of the GPU.

    The use of these drivers is therefore always at you own risk

    The fact is that Toshiba to recommend to use the Toshiba graphics card drivers because this driver has an overheating protection. These drivers one specially designed for the use of the laptop and it s not recommended to use any other rivers that are designed for desktop use.

  • nVIDIA GeForce Fx 5500 256 MB AGP Graphics Card Drivers for Windows 8 Pro 32-Bit

    Hi!, I have motherboard ECS P4M800Pro M2 Ver2.0, 2.2 GHz E4500 processor Intel Core2DUO, DDR2 533 MHz 2 GB RAM hardware with WINDOWS 8 32 Bit operating system. The motherboard has 64 MB S3 UniChrome Pro IGP.

    Further to have better graphics during the game, I bought recently NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 256 MB AGP 8 x video card. Since I installed this card, windows has installed its driver game by default "Microsoft generic display drivers" and the quality of the graphics is off nominal. Also the 1366 x 768 resolution widescreen is currently not available. The best resolution I have now is 1024 x 768. In this resolution, the graphics of Windows seems very strange on my LG 19 "widescreen monitor.

    I tried to install the graphics card drivers on the NVidia site for the old version of Windows, but the drivers are installed with an error message "Pilot" not Compatible with this Version of Windows.

    By default windows drivers has release date older than the drivers supplied on OEM for Windows XP.

    Please help me to get the drivers for the AGP card compatible with my Windows 8 Pro.

    Or how can I force install the older drivers in Windows 8.

    Hi Amit,

    Windows 8 compatibility reports that NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 graphic card is compatible with Windows 8. Check out the link

    You can check if you have downloaded the 64 bit version of the graphics driver rather than 32-bit.  It could be the possibility for this error message.

    Or select the option on the Nvidia site to scan your system to find the correct driver?

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    If you still receive an error message that the driver is not compatible, then you try to install the driver in compatibility mode.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Program-Compatibility-Assistant-FAQ#1TC=Windows-8

    If this does not help, I suggest you check with the NVIDIA support.

  • Compaq Presario 5400US - need network drivers for XP Home Edition. Wired connection.

    It woun't connect to internet using a good modem and cable (other PC connect successfully using this same equipment). When I type IPCONFIG, I get 2 results, one for Local Area Connection2 for LAC3. Two of them have 169.254.xxx.xxx IP addresses. Both Suffixes DNS blank and empty default gateways.

    When I go into network connections, the LAC2 says "Limited or no connectivity", but it lists a Linksys LNE 100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter. Linksys? I don't have any Linksys product. LAC3 says 'Connected' with the help of a WAN network driver. However, in the Notification area network connections has the same yellow triangle as LAC2. When I right click the icon in the Notification area and select "Repair" I always get the following ".." following action cannot be completed: renewing your IP address.

    If I right click LAC3 (the one that says 'Connected'), click Properties, click TCP. IP and select Properties, it is set to get an IP address and an address of DNS server automatically. It is also the same for LAC2.

    Client DHCP, DNS Client and call the CPP are started.

    I tried ipconfig/release, ipconfig/registerdns, ipconfig/flushdns, netsh winsock reset. When I run it ipconfig / renew I get messages (after he is sitting there for 2 minutes)
    An error occurred during renewal of the Local 2 network connection interface: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request timed out...
    An error occurred during renewal of the Local 2 network connection interface: unable to contact your DHCP server. Request timed out...

    A run chkdsk /r have run the command netsh int ip reset reset.log.

    So, I went 2 network cards, restarted in the device and removed Manager and let Windows reinstall. Windows creates a new connection to the Local network (LAC4, 2 and 3 are gone). It only reads limited connectivity or none and is using Linksys LNE 100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter, like the previous LAC2. The previous LAC3, who uses the network never got WAN driver reinstalled. I don't understand.

    Since an adapter Linksys on a wired connection seemed odd I have tried to find what should be the correct network driver.

    I google "Compaq Presario 5400US" "driver ethernet" OR "network driver" and was taken to a page of drivers HP, which I think makes sense since HP now owns Compaq
    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/s...UCT=93284#n430
    This page has nothing listed for network or chipset cards.  This, of course, has no meaning for me.

    Can anyone help?

    Select this version from the drop-down list on the link that I posted above.

    Depending on the size of file, it does not resemble an auto install file. Accept the agreement and unzip the file into a folder.

    So, download it to a folder and go to Device Manager.

    Click the network card in need of drivers, and then select manual search for drivers. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the drivers and the driver should install.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5300UK Graphics Upgrade

    Hello, I have a Compaq Presario CQ5300UK and I plan on upgrading to a 1 GB graphics card. This card would fit into my PC?

    www.PCWorld.co.uk/gbuk/PNY-NVIDIA-GeForce-gt-430-PCI-e-Graphics-Card-1gb-08623397-PDT.html?intcmpid=...

    Thank you

    Hello:

    You should be fine with this card as it meets the specifications of your P/S and has the x 16 PCIe form factor.

    I also like that it is a nVidia card, which should play nicely with your card chipset mother nVidia.

    Because it has a HDMI port, it can disable your integrated sound card when you install it.

    Be not dismayed.

    Simply go into your BIOS, search for the audio setting on board. Change auto to "Enabled". Save the setting here and when you exit the BIOS.

    Then you'll once again on board sound and audio HDMI when you connect a TV to your PC with a HDMI cable.
