• 23 - d160qd envy: new motherboard, now empty screen and 6 beeps. Cannot change the legacy BIOS. Help!

  Good ladies and Gentlemenof the Interwebulars, I hope someone can shed some light on my situation.

  Walked down one day to see that my computer would not start. A diagnosis which in a bad power port. Got a new motherboard because after desoldering (or that's what I tried to do) I realized that it was small to (re) welding in and I could not find the right part to reorganize.

  so I got a new motherboard. The number replacement part direct. Barefoot on my floor wood and ESD wrsitband on, I put in this bad boy. Double and triple check things and connections. Go to hit the power button and I get 6 beeps and 6 flashes of correspopnding of the powerbutton. The system does not appear to be on, fan is running with the other sounds of starting and running sounds, but I have a white screen and orange electric button. If I tap CTRL + ALT + DELETE it will restart and begin the process again. The 6 beeps by HP standards denotes missing graphics / card error. My original motherboard had a built-in graphics card so I thought that the same new part number card mother too. Obviously not. so I had a Geforce 2Go MXM graphics card update with heat sink. Barefoot, wood floor, bracelet ESD, thermal paste and turn it on to hear... SIX BEEPS AND SCREEN WHITE.

  After Googling around, some people say that I have to enter the BIOS and change boot legacy and fashion out of the UEFI mode that's killing me right now. I have join and would completely if I could see my screen of the BIOS, or anything for that matter. I can not go back also to my other card because it will not feed. So my question; How to make or change the BIOS settings so that my computer will recognize a graphics card or internal graphic that should be on the new motherboard itself so that it starts?

  I need this computer for CAD work soon so I thought help processor i7, 8GBs RAM, Geforce card and touch screen to perform a generation of PC.  So if someone has a great idea they would projected upward on this post, I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

  Your computer is not posting, sound rather give an error message in the form of 6 beeps and red LED flashing, indicating graphics / video issue.

  You can never get into the BIOS of the device, if its not posting, not on a HP Desktop atleast.

  I recommend, you disconnect all components and fittings connected to the motherboard i.e. cables SATA, power cables, RAM, processor, heatsink, power supply and battery CMOS as well.

  Now, press and hold button power unit for a minute or two., with the power and everything is still disconnected.

  Then,.

  (1) Insert the battery CMOS back into its slot, install the processor and the heat sink, connect all cables power that goes to the motherbaord in the PSU and CPU and etc., less SATA cable and cable power to drive hard and Optcal drive and turn on the device, of course after you have connected the rear power cable.

  (2) check if the machine beeps and check whether it is 5 times.

  (3) If yes install a memory in the first slot (slot black), connect the monitor and turn on the power and check if there is no video output.

  (4) if so, connect the return which is always disconncted, to their respective locations and ports and turn them the unit on and get on with your CAD stuff.

  IF NO,

  2 options:

  (1) if the unit is still under warranty, call 1800-474-6836 and have a technician on-site visit your place and replace the parts needed for the operational unit.

  (2) or the motherboard you purchased could have been Dead On Arrival. Get a warranty replacement for the DOA mobo and re install a new Board of Directors.

  Good luck!

• How can I change the CPU, motherboard and upgraded to Windows 7 while keeping the old HD and all data on hard drive?

  I am running a Pentium Q9300 with Windows Vista. I have change my mother and put card at level of CPU of AMD Phenom II X 4 965. I bought a new copy of Windows 7. I need to update all those things while maintaining the old hard drive. Well, I don't know how to do it without other wipe the HD, fitness with an upgrade of the OS, or a link is not my new Windows 7 to my old hardware configuration. I need to keep all programs, files, folders, and data I have on the hard drive.

  How can I do all three and the link to my new Windows 7 for my new hardware?

  Hello

  You can not do

  the old hard disk contains the drivers for the motherboard that is old and in all likelihood will not start when it is installed with the new motherboard

  a clean install is normally required when changing motherboards

  __________________________________________________________

  and I think that you should also read this on the granting of licences and motherboards:

  If you have a license to OEM preinstalled, DELL, HP, etc any update at the Board level or changes must be done jointly with the computer manufacturer

  an OEM license is linked to the original tho hardware it is installed on this computer life

  When the computer dies the license dies with him, unless the manufacturer is willing to help you

  If you have a retail license and reactivation problems:

  1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.

  4. take the phone activation option and brace yourself for a real person instead of the automatic fast process

  How to prevent the add-on compatibility checking whenever he opens Firefox?

  Which can be a problem with the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.
  Try to rename (or delete) the file compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to see if that helps.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

• Firefox has only display problems in the upper left region of only my Dell U3011 monitor; the monitor does not have these problems with any other application

  Some parts of the Firefox window are translucent, allowing the image of the desktop to show through. These regions are anything but great internet site central image which behaves normally. Unless the desktop is completely black this problem makes reading the tabs, address bar and the bookmark are difficult if not impossible. I encounter this problem only on my new Dell U3011 monitor. Firefox is the only application that has this issue on the Dell monitor. The monitor built into the laptop that animates the Dell monitor does not exhibit this problem. The laptop is a Lenovo W540 running Windows 7 64-bit. Thank you very much for your help. Steve Schupbach

• G7-1261NR AMDA4 - 3300M Pavilion: motherboard compatibility / level

  I have a Pavilion g7-1261NR with AMD A4 Processor - 3300 M Llano FS1 QE310UA #ABA

  For some reason, all of the 3 USB ports do not work, and no solution Support HP will fix them.

  So I have to replace the motherboard apparently. That being said, my question is: what is the best motherboard to the g7 that will fit in my laptop and accept my processor?

  My wife has a model completely different g7, and I have swapped out the motherboard too, while I say g7 all seem to have the same internal dimensions, indicating motherboards are compatible across different models. If I have to replace mine, I might well have best out there for a few dollars more than a direct replacement for my current model.

  Thank you!

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  Best motherboard for AMD A-series processors would be this one:

  For use only with the computer models equipped with the AMD A60M chipset and a graphic subsystem with 1024 MB discrete video memory 649950-001

  It has the best dedicated video chip. ATI HD6470M. Now you have just the graphics that are integrated into the processor.

  It won't make a big difference between this and your motherboard in terms of features or performance. If you want to improve performance, you must also upgrade the processor and your top options are an A8 - 3500M. They are not expensive, given the limited demand for AMD processors. It would still be a noticeable uprade.

• Replaced the old motherboard with new

  Recently, I replaced the motherboard on my G2-149WM HP with the recommended OEM. (model number of same parts) The problem I have is, after that Windows 8 logo appears when you first start up, it goes to the black COMMAND screen and it says something about the system is not reconizing cards mothers NAME of THE PRODUCT, INFORMATION SYSTEM. or nothing! On the bottom is says ENTER: PRESS to START NORMAL or something similar! He has never done before, so that I have to reset/upgrade to update the BIOS or what? I would appreciate your help regarding this issue... and I thank you in advance!

  Mario,

  The problem was, as I installed it and not a certified HP Tech, the new motherboard was not entered in my system for a lack of a better term! Look at my personal tech for all the info he needed and had it fixed in less than half an hour! Before that, I did follow your advice and update my BIOS nothing helps... but at least it is updated! Thank you very much for your help!
