• 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.

• Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC Freeze issues

  Hello everyone

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC running on Windows 7 Home Premium. The laptop freezes at random times, sometimes minutes after use or an hour after use. It does not result by clicking on a program or a file. I have printing freeze the problem may be caused by the failure of the hardware, possibly the HARD drive.

  Here are a few observations from the laptop and the things that I tried to diagnose or repair.

  • During a typical blocking the HDD LED light is always on
  • Also had the blue screen and freeze black screen
  • No error message
  • Hard disk becomes very hot
  • Entered the BIOS and run automatic test of the primary hard drive and memory Test using InsydeH20 Setup utility but it went together.
  • Laptop computer has been completely reset to factory settings so it is impossible due to the high utilization of the processor
  • Idle while the CPU usage is generally of the order of 13%-25%, with a peak of rare of 53%
  • The hard drive is a Western digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 2.5 "SATA

  The laptop is not used so wiping back to settings to original wasn't a problem, but I would like to return to a usable level.

  Thanks for any help you could offer

  Mike

  I was certain insistence autour in my computer and I'm done to restore back to factory settings. So far, it has not frozen and seems to work properly.

  I tried updating the BIOS with HP Support Assistant, but it does not work. Hoping to solve the problem I went online and updated my support Assistant. After this success, I then managed to download the BIOS from internet F.15 version I was also looking for. Everything seems to work quite fine at the moment, although there are a few updates to Windows that will not be installed. The progress bar shows the animation download but the installation hangs at 1 / 8. Some items are classified as "recommended" or "important" so any help with this problem would be immensely appreciated!

• Compaq presario cq61: ssd in presario cq61 - 430ev

  I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ61.

  I just bought a Kingston HyperX Savage 240 GB ssd for my laptop, I had already upgraded to windows 10. The placement of the drive was a success, but during the 'clean' windows 10 installation asking the the disk drivers. I contacted the support service of Kingston, and they said this:

  "Please note that we do not really any specific drivers, the SSD would benefit from the planned system of system.
  Some systems may require a storage of pre-installation F6 driver, who usually provided by the manufacturer of the system in your case it would be HP.
  We recommend to check the following:
  -If it doesn't matter what Windows 10 associates BIOS update available for your system (make sure than his most recent available for your system)
  -Pre-installation F6 for your system storage driver (check the site of HP for these drivers).

  Then I updated my system to the latest version of the BIOS, but nothing has changed.

  I looked on the HP site, but I can't find any "storage of pre-installation F6 driver" or any other driver for ssd, so I can't install windows and use my laptop. What I would do about this problem? Help, please!

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  If you do not, use another PC to create a Windows 7 recovery CD.  Download the ISO from the link below.

  Windows 7 32 bit

  You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

  Start your laptop from the rescue CD, you have created, select repair your computer and choose the command line.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

  Bootrec.exe

  bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

  c:

  Boot CD

  BCD attrib s h - r

  Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

  Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  Bootrec /fixmbr

  Bootrec /fixboot

  Remove the rescue CD and try to restart now.

• Compaq Presario CQ61, unable to boot the laptop

  Compaq Presario CQ61 running Windows 7 Home Premium (build 7601) bought about 4 years ago.

  Computer failed to restart after a period of sleep.  I suspect that it doesn't have an automatic restart after automatic installation of an update - it's only a guess because I have no access to the computer at the moment, but I had a similar problem recently - on this occasion, I got a 'Safe Mode' start - by pressing F8 repeatedly gave me access to the appropriate screen.  I've implemented subsequently by restoring the system to a point just before a automatic installation of a critical Windows Update, and that seemed to do the trick.

  On this occasion the F8 route has no effect on the problem; the 'caps lock' and 'NumLock' continually of the blink just of LED (i.e. not a limited number of times), the fan starts, but there is no other sign of life.  I tried a hard restart, but without result.  I also removed and replaced memory, but once again no effect.

  Can you please advise.

  I'm so sorry I couldn't help you solve the problem, but maybe you could try to free the keyboard, nothing will happen if you do not lose the cpu and tight again. I know that the keyboard one is hard, persevering, best wishes.

  Hello jervenbatilo,

  I see you have power relative to problems with your HP computer. You did most of the troubleshooting that is appropriate for your question.

  I'm including this link which has most of the troubleshooting steps that may solve your problem.

  If you are unable to get any power on the computer, it is most likely a problem with the motherboard of the computer.
