Compaq Presario SR5710F upgrade the video upon hearing the motherboard cannot handle high power supp

What is the best graphics card upgrade which can my Compaq Presario SR5710F can support? I'm ready to upgrade the power also, but hear that the motherboard do not put anything above 350 watts regardless of power.

You can install any PCIe x 16 video card you want. The limiting factor is going to be the power supply. More power the longer video card POWER supply. About what you hear about the motherboard, I found nothing to that effect. To qoute request-leo,' I heard a matter of concern that a power high power can somehow 'forcing' the power on the computer, resulting in overheating and burnout. Nothing could be further from the truth. A power supply provides power in response to the need; It does not matter where power grow. If your computer only needs 100 watts, then a 500 Watt power supply will only provide 100 watts. Why have a 500 Watt power supply? For the use of 'pic' (sometimes material will require 'sudden' power, as at the beginning upward or under heavy load) and for future expansion. »

It is better to have too much power too littleand to get the right size. By that I mean the physical size - come in many standard sizes out there, and they are not interchangeable.

    Hello

    My Macbook Pro have hardware problem and I had sent to Apple. It would take time to repair. Luckly I have an old computer for temp use. I had to format the drive and reinstall the OS, but it works still slow. So, I want to update my old computer hardware like high configuration like the logic board support.

    Current configuration are:

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 1.66GHz

    RAM: 1.00 GB DDR II 800 + 1.00 GB DDR II 667 = 2 GB RAM

    So... is this possible upgrade to the higher model CPU / faster as long as the logic board support.

    Logic board supports latest version of DDR or DDR the best model for this computer and should 2 GB x 2 will make computer faster?

    I'm also plan to upgrade HDD to SSD, as Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB. (Is this waste of money just to upgrade this old computer)

    Thank you!

    Yes a waste of money to upgrade this old computer. Other that install 4 GB of RAM. DDR2 can be and it may take 800 speed but runs at 667. 4 gigs DDR2 laptop is maybe $35.

    It may take up a T9300 CPU. Surprisingly, the maintenance manual is always available to be downloaded:

  • Upgrade a Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop computer

    Hello, I'm recovering because as far as I can get out my Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop... right now there windows vista service pack 2 32-bit. The processor is an AMD Athlon 64 dual core 4450e to 2.3 GHz with 3 GB of ram at 800 MHz. First of all, since the processor is 64-bit, I was wondering if a windows 7 64 upgrade is recommended... Secondly, I know that even though I have a 64-bit processor, the maximum capacity of ram I have is 4 GB due to the motherboard, but with this card mother, is possible to increase the speed of greater than 800 MHz ram (for the motherboard specifications are hard to find). I was also thinking to replace the graphics card, but what I am seeing that will probably require a different diet and I am on a limited budget. Any suggestion? Please take into consideration the fact that this upgrade is not for games etc, its a home computer that I'm trying to be as updated as possible for a minimal cost. I am realistic, however, and I know it's an old PC. More I am not worried about existing programs (32-bit), I certainly intend on a new installation

    RickCraw,

    Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop computer and its card mother MCP61PM-HM (Iris8). According to the specification, this model has PCIe x 16 graphics card slot and a 250 watt power supply.

    (1) most retail graphics cards require a 300 watts or more big power supply system to work properly. Install a new graphics card to detail will require the replacement of power supply as well.

    (2) Yes, you can install Windows 7 64 bit on this computer. I recommend the upgrade of RAM at a minimum of 4 GB for use with a Windows 64-bit operating system.

    (3) NO, you cannot change the speed of the RAM. Your system is limited to the following specifications/configurations of memory;

    Dual channel memory architecture

    Two connectors DIMM DDR2 240-pin

    Supported DIMM types:

    PC2-4200 (533 MHz)

    PC2-5300 (667 MHz)

    PC2-6400 (800 MHz)

    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered

    Supports DIMM DDR2 2 GB modules

    Supports up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB = 4 GB)

  • 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.

  • Compaq Presario SR2009UK - upgrade Windows 7

    Dear all

    I have a Compaq Presario SR2000UK and am looking to upgrade to Windows 7

    This machine had Windows XP installed, but since the end of the Support I got in trouble, decided to upgrade to Windows 7.

    First of all, I updated the Bios on the Hp website 3.24 Version dated 2007-06-29

    Then using clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit SATA hard drive.

    Installation went perfectly with 2 partitions (reserved system & Operating system) windows implementation

    Once windows had started active device manager and all the drivers were like OK.

    Restart the computer several times since the Start button of windows without problem.

    Now comes the question

    What computer was off nights windows does not restart.

    1 press button and the bios blue screen power light, I hear the startup hard drive work then the screen goes black and turns on the windows logo, but after a second the screen flashes and blue bios screen on again once him lights up the screen Windows Recovery Manager saying computer failed to start and get the 2 options.

    1 Let's repair (recommended) windows

    2 start Windows normally

    Option 1 passes through the long process of repairing then windows starts.

    Option 2 tries to start windows but crashes before the color of windows logo appears.

    My other option is to restart, and then press F8 for advanced options, and then on starting in safe mode that work very well.

    Restart windows start button and the machine is in reverse OK until it is turned off for a few hours, then I'm back to the same problem.

    Have you checked the battery Cmos and is OK

    Think there may be a Bios problem but couldn't find any version after 3.24

    Thank you very much John

    A look at the motherboard and I see at least 3 capacitors that are starting to develop at the top so that you can not see the cross in silver leaf.

    Try things during these days and the problem now is getting worse.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5600F: upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6)

    Hello. I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5600F which took a power surge. I use Windows 10 Pro and I'd like to update the Pegatron M2N68-(Narra5) motherboard M2N68-(Narra6). I saw some of these for the sale of the mobo. Can someone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find the drivers and perhaps installation information. The motherboards I've seen are either used, rebuilt, or "other nine" with no accessories.

    Hi @stan7926,

    Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that you need information on an upgrade of the motherboard of your PC. I'll be happy to help you with this.

It's always a great pleasure to work with tech-savvy and technically customers sounds like you. Kudos to you for this. I am amazed at your technical skills and levels of technical knowledge.

    First of all, the specifications are very clear on the HP website. It supports "M2N68-(Narra5)" with the drivers, BIOS and other updates available on the HP Web site. About the upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6), it may be possible, but before you buy the product, I would suggest that you contact a technician on-site that this motherboard is not listed by HP as a compatible Web site.

    I thank you greatly for posting your question on the forums of HP and for giving us the platform to help you. You are a customer of HP and we greatly thank you for doing business with HP.

    It is important that you are having problems with the bios and driver incompatibilities on the motherboard and windows 10 Therefore, it is recommended that you contact a local technician and check the compatibility of the motherboard before making any attempt to improve it. We cannot have the bios for it and corresponding drivers. Once again, you will need to visit the websites of 3rd party hardware manufacturers to update the bios and other 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.

  • Installation of an EVGA in a Compaq Presario SR5710F 5600GT

    Hello, users of the forum!

    A few moments ago, I bought a Compaq Presario SR5710. I noticed the horrible integrated graphics card (nforce 430 motherboard w / GeForce 6150SE) supplied with the machine, so I'm interested to the EVGA 5600GT graphics card as a replacement. However, I don't know if this replacement will be compatible with the motherboard and its power. A lot, I would like to know if I'll be able to use this graphics card with my current SR5710F. Thanks in advance!

    I was looking to upgrade the CPU on my Presario CQ5320F, for most popular processors in the list on the HP site for my computer.

I don't know how I got it done, but it does not work. I bought two of the processors by mistake.

    Thank you for giving me the answer. I guess it's time to look for a new motherboard now.

    No doubt, it would be nice if someone let HP know this, so people like me would not try to use this processor with the motherboard.
