• Compaq Presario 2029UK: display crashed after update to windows 10

  Hello

  I just upgraded to windows 7 to windows 10 and my screen is crushed, regardless which data resolutions I choose.

  When I look at the map it reads as follows: Microsoft Basic graphics card.

  I checked for updates and two windows and display card driver back the message that they are up-to-date.

  When I go to the HP site to download a driver, the only driver to my PC is a lightscribe one. Nothing for the graphics card.

  Does anyone know whre I can download a driver to solve the problem, or if there isn't one, how can I get my resolution to be what it was (I don't know what it was but I know that it is not available now).

  My screen is a LG Flatron E1940-S-AP

  Thanks in advance

  Hello:

  The problem you are having is that Windows has installed a generic graphics driver, so you can see the screen and not much more.

  There is no w8.1 or W10 graphics driver for the graphics card to your PC.

  Your model is a desktop Compaq Presario Media Center SR2029UK PC?

  If so, see if you can manually install the latest Nvidia graphic driver and run the W10.

  First of all, download and install this free utility for files.  The 2nd listed file is 64-bit.

  http://www.7-zip.org/

  Then download, save, but do not run this graphics driver.

  http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758/en-us

  After downloading the above graphic driver file, right-click on it and select 7 - Zip from the list of options.

  Have 7-Zip extract of: and leave it to decompress the file in its folder.

  Go to Device Manager, and then click to expand the category of device of graphics cards.

  Click on the graphics card of Microsoft Basic.

  Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.  Select her browse my computer for driver software option and find the driver 7-zip created folder.

  Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the graphics driver installed.

  Restart the PC.

• Compaq Presario SG2025IL: updating graphics card

  I have a Compaq Presario SR2025IL, which was used a computer to type. Now, he was bequeathed to me and I want to update its graphics to make a gaming computer. Any suggestions for a graphics card?

  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 SR1214NX desktop PC: update BIOS for SATA HDD?

  Hi CV Experts.

  In 2004, I bought a HP Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC. Now, leave the original hard drive and I bought a new Seagate 500 GB SATA hard drive. I thought that this would work because the PC MoBo has two SATA connectors. After installation, I noticed the drive is not detected. I checked the BIOS but not hard listed. The installed BIOS is "BIOS Award BIOS Core Version 6.0 revision 3.10 26/07/2004.» What can I do? Is there a BIOS update available?

  Help, please!

  

  Do more research on this issue, I think that this motherboard may not have native support SATA. You can use ports SATA via Windows after you have installed the necessary drivers. I suggest that you add a primary as hard drive IDE PATA drive and load Windows. Post windows installation, install the necessary SATA drivers and plug the secondary drive SATA for use as a hard disk.

  I'm sorry for all of the early confused communications.

• Compaq Presario: Card mother SR5050NX update using SP37378.exe

  Help, I need an exe file to return the BIOS on my Compaq Presario, model SR5050NX, product number RX897AA-ABA, build software 72NAv3PrA2 to the specification of the manufacturer. The BIOs vendor is Phoeniz, release date: 20/04/2007, version of BIOs 5.17 string.

  I was updating the CPU so that I can install Windows 7 and I went to the website of Hp on the model SR5050NX and SP37378.exe.Seems downloaded and installed to give me version 5.23, however, when I rebooted the computer, I had the 'launch Startup Repair' which automatically said that he could not fix the CPU. I then use F11, Recovery Manager, who said "Detected Root Cause, current installation failure" great answer? Then, I used my Hardware Diagnostic Tools diagnostics bootable CD for Vista backup and reinstall all the software without result.

  Seems that SP37378.exe screwed up my computer, especially when the computer has worked fine before using the exe file.

  Logically, you would have downloaded the sp37378.exe on a CD and then run it from there. That would be the best avenue.   In addition, WIN7 is not supported with drivers HP on the SR5050nx.  This decision was made four years after the origin of the product Vista OS in 2007.

• Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA: failure of the update of the BIOS via Support Assistant / should I update anyway?

  This morning I found that my laptop had not finished closing 8 hours ago. I stopped by pressing the button Off for 6 seconds and restarted. I then looked a likely cause and saw that a BIOS problem was probably the cause.

  I'm went to the site of HP support & with information about http://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c00007682, I followed step 1 and I saw that my BIOS is F.11 21/08/2009.

  Support site told me that I need F.11Rev1/20/10/2014. I installed, rebooted and saw that he had failed.

  What's worse, is that the program Insyde update it says that the 2009 version is updated - see below.

  A kind person could tell me what I should then?

  More old Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA screwed up by free upgrade from Microsoft of Win7 for Win10

  Hello

  You can manually update the BIOS for your laptop by downloading from the link below:

  The current version available is F.23

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp51501-52000/sp51527.exe

  Once the download is complete, double-click the downloaded file and follow the instructions on the screen.

  You will notice may-continuous display blank for a few seconds, which is quite normal. Once the update is actually the device automatically restarts.

  Note to back up your data before performing the update. Also have your adapter connected to the laptop.

• Compaq presario cq62-219wm cpu update

  We have a laptop, compaq presario cq62-219wm. Intel celeron 900 to 2.2 ghz (800 mhz). Windows 7-64 bit o/s. y at - it a cpu I can go to for this laptop? the celeron is a w/single core wire I think. I would switch to a dual-core (at least) if possible. How can I find a list of processors that can I update? the model number is WQ778UA #ABA. the serial number is *. any help would be appreciated.

  davidljtn44

  You can virtually none of the PENRYN 45nm lithography processors put in it, the optimal processor, you can upgrade is the Intel core 2 duo t9500. I have the same laptop and I have the next step down from what is the Intel core 2 duo processor t9300. There is no complete list of the processors that it will support the lists that you will find are incomplete at best even Intel does not update their information. Go to intel.com and search PENRYN in a search more people you can use, you need to compare to ensure that.

• Automatic update blocks my Compaq Presario

  My Compaq Presario has been frozen for more than one full hour to 61% in step 3 of 3 of automatic updates.   Because I told

  Don't go off, what do I do?   Thank you very much.

  Hank

  He give some more time, 1/2 day.

  If you have hard to turn it off, and it stops working:

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Difficult to update and download of Windows Vista on Compaq Presario F500 laptop...

  Hello everyone, I have a model old laptop (compaq presario F500 GF593UA #ABA) and I have complications download something on the net. Whenever I try to download something he always says that he stop working or the file has not been signed. Also, I can't update or the other - it downloads updates whenever it crashes while trying to install. Sometimes, it crashes as soon as the update reminder appears in the system tray. I tried almost everything imaginable, but I can't seem to stop crashing during updates are enabled. I can't download anything either, but I can run files that I downloaded from my other computer. I even disabled the pilots I thought that maybe something to do with it and still the same events occur. I disabled autuning, ran several diagnostics - one who says something about TC or something of this nature should be activated so I clicked on that and he says that the problem had been resolved. After I pedaled again power the machine, the same thing. Can someone please? I am running windows vista home basic 32-bit

• 5 GHz WiFi card update - Compaq Presario

  I just got a new router today and found out that it is a double router broadband and supports the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I was wondering if I could update my existing WiFi card that supports only the 2.4 GHz and get one that will take in charge the 5 GHz band. Also if I have a 5 GHz WiFi card in my laptop can still connect to networks that support 2.4 GHz only? How much would cost a new card? And finally, if I can improve my card, how I put in my laptop?

  Data sheet:

  Model: Compaq Presario CQ57-33WM

  OS: upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro

  Memory: Updated 6 GB of RAM

  Hard drive: 320 GB 5400 RPM

  Processor: FSB of 1333 MHz 1.50 GHz Intel Celeron processor B800

  Network cards:

  Realtek RTL8188CE 802.11 b/g/n WiFi Adapter

  Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller

  (A lot of WAN Miniports is also listed in Device Manager)

  Can I still switch my wireless card based on these specifications? It would be difficult to change? Let me know if you need more information on the computer.

  Also, if it ends up that I can't change my card or it is really hard to change, could use something like this as a last resort? Double USB adapter wireless broadband

  Any help is appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  According to the service manual this lappy does not support 5 GHz wireless cards. Most recent computers based Intel Mobile (Ivy Bridge and higher) support the latest maps wireless Intel including the last 7260AC one. Your laptop is older, so I can't say with certainty what will work or not. In this case I suggest to get some usb adapters wireless such as that of your link or one of them:
