EliteBook 8440p: EliteBook 8440p has no RAM 8 GB upgrade

I have EliteBook 8440p with i7 M620, 4 GB of RAM and WIndows 7 64 bit installed.

I wanted to update my RAM 8 GB as suggested here and bought 2 x 4 GB RAM of:

KINGSTON ValueRAM 4 GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) SDRAM-DDR3 CL9-9-9 204pin 1.5 Volt

I replaced the 2 GB card at the back of the laptop with the Kingston 4 GB and when I started windows:

  • The BIOS showed 6 GB of RAM
  • But blocked when Windows starts, your stay at the black screen with the "starting Windows" without the points colored forming in a window.

I tried to restart, but no change.

No idea which can try to solve this problem, or switch to 8 GB?

Thank you

Nikolai

  • HDMI has stopped working after the upgrade to windows 8 Pro

    Hi all

    After upgrading my laptop to Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows 8 Pro (upgrade of the place) my HDMI output not working anymore.
    I use a nvidia Geforce 8200 M G graphics card, went to their website and downloaded the drivers of windows 8, but this did not help.
    Is what is happening when I plug the HDMI cable, the laptop screen goes black and there is no output to the TV I am trying to connect to. However, when you remove the HDMI cable, the laptop screen does not return to normal, but still rather dark. I tried pressing + P, but it does not help, and ultimately, I can't get the laptop screen showing something by a full reboot.
    Someone has a bright idea?
    Thank you!

    SOLVED (for me at least)

    I had the same problem after I upgraded my Acer Aspire 5745PG from Windows 7 to Windows 8. My second monitor via HDMI would not be recognized.
    Here's how I solved it: went to the website of the manufacturer (Acer in my case) and downloaded the NVIDIA for Windows 7 driver and installed it. Installation was a little buggy. I had to restore my computer to an earlier point, twice (make sure that you create a restore point before you start just in case where; google if you don't know how).
    In the end, the installation was successful. I plugged in my HDMI cable and second screen has increased as before I upgraded.

    IMPORTANT: Do NOT download the driver from the website of the manufacturer of the graphics card (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel,...). Go to the Web site (HP, Acer, Dell, etc.) of the manufacturer of your PC and find the. I tried the driver from NVIDIA that I have a NVIDIA Geforce Graphics card and it would not install. If you find that several display drivers for your specific PC model on the manufacturer's website you can try then one by one. I found 3 NVIDIA for my Acer 5745P. The second was the right thing.

    Good luck everybody!

  • HP EliteBook 8440p: memory modules RAM that actually work for HP EliteBook 8440p?

    Hi everyone again. I scoured these forums and others and can't find a definitive answer to the upgrade of my RAM memory.

    My system:

    HP EliteBook 8440p

    2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 M640

    Professional Win7 64 bit

    133 MHz bus clock

    BIOS: HP 68ccu, worm. F.11 (2010)

    Dual core, hyper-threaded (4)

    (?) Mobile Intel QM57 chipset

    According to Belarc Advisor, I currently have a 4MB of RAM Samsung under the keyboard module. The second location is empty.  First of all, more memory RAM is not sold in the UK? I know that the computer is capable of 8 GB and the Kingston modules, I just tried to install were 4GB each.  Sticks of Kingston are 8 GB (2 x 4), PC3-10600, CL9, 1.5V, 204 pins SODIMM modules and they do NOT work on this laptop even if they should.

    Has anyone found the secret of exactly which modules memory will work with this specific model of laptop? It is issues of density? Problems of tension? Am I missing a driver. I have to sing the thing while I install memory?

    Seriously, any help at all will be appreciated.

    Hello:

    Please read this thread, and I posted the memory you need to NewEgg if you live in the USA/Canada.

    The 8440p uses the same memory as the 6550 b.

  • EliteBook 8560p: HP Elitebook 8560p has the possibility of a graphics upgrade?

    Try to improve the performance of my laptop for games. Cannot afford anything more than 50quid at the moment and I've seen a graphics card on Ebay that says that the guy is compatible with this laptop, but wanted to check with your people first...

    Can the HP 8650P take an upgrade?

    Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    There is no reference to an MXM slot or a separate replaceable part video card, so the answer is no your video is not extensible. If it was that you couldn't get a MXM graphics card which was worth having for 50 pounds. They cost more like 150 quid.

  • Qosmio X 500 has /HDD RAM or DOA?

    Hello

    In front of me is a QOSMIO X 500 / 02 G (PQX33A-02G00J), which has experienced some trouble.

    I learned that he was suffering from a corrupt HARD drive and have been asked to make it work again.

    On the survey, I found three likely points of failure:
    1) the two bays for HARD drives are empty
    2) the two RAM slots are empty
    (3) when the power cable is connected any of the lights turn on and the power button doesn't trigger any response.

    I was able to locate a cell phone work with a cable of the same power and confirmed:
    (1) the power cord provided with the faulty laptop is capable of powering the laptop checked.
    (2) the defective laptop does not respond when you use known good power cable.

    My question:
    * Is this model should give no sign of life, missing HDD + or + RAM? Or he suffered a critical failure more? *

    Thanks in advance,
    Kelly

    Well, the portable lights without the RAM.
    You must RAM modules in order to power the unit in place.

    But to my knowledge the power light should be lit (even if the RAM modules are not inserted) if good work adapter is connected and power would be supplied correctly to the laptop.

    In case the power led is OFF, even if the AC adapter is plugged in, then there is a problem with the motherboard (maybe electronic power supply on the motherboard).

  • Windows XP pro on Emachine D4362 has 4 Ram slots but don't record it 3.5 GB as aiinstalle

    He recorded 1.5 GB on the installed 3.5 GB of PC3200 DDR 400 mhz. In the past, before the upgrade, he showed the 1.75 GB that was installed.

    How did you Go 3.5, 4 slots?  (In other words, what is in each slot?)

    Also, I guess because you say that your computer has 4 slots for RAM, you should have actually looked inside the case... but this Crucial page says that the eMachines D4362 has only 2 slots that take a max of 1 GB each for a total maximum of 2 GB.  Where did you find the information that indicates that your computer can have up to 4 GB installed?  A link would be much appreciated.

    In Googling my question above, I came across this thread which claims that the D4362 has 4 slots and can take up to 4 GB, based on the specifications of the motherboard.  But this raises the question: where is the specification of eMachine that identifies the motherboard?

    Without more information, I'm inclined to go with the conclusion of the last message in this thread in the RAM Corsair support forums: "Unfortunately, it seems that if you have the memory that is not compatible with your motherboard.»

  • The g7-2240us 17.3 "laptop Pavilion has 6Gig RAM. This may evolve and if yes what is the max?

    In the product the seller information it says RAM max for the HP Pavilion laptop 2240us g7 is 6gigs.  Is this true or can it be upgrade (why else?) and if so how and what is the appropriate way to go and best bang for the buck?

    Hello

    Your machine accepts 8 GB of RAM, it has 2 connectors means that each slot can have 4 GB. Your machine currently has 6 GB of RAM, its configuration must be 4 + 2 GB. You can get Max: 4 + 4 GB, so if you wish you can take 2 GB and buy 4 GB (same characteristics with each other) for the slot. The following link shows your machine for the RAM info:

    http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/HP+-+Compaq-memory/Pavilion+G7/Pavilion+G7-2240us-upgrades.html

    You can buy from them or use the info to buy elsewhere.

    Kind regards.

    PS I do it, there is no difference of 6 GB to 8 GB.

    To be clear: the upgrades of RAM and HARD drive are supported.
    Update CPU is not supported due to several reasons. Check the lease - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    You must understand that the hardware update on mobile machinery is quite limited due to the special construction and cooling system. I put t know to what kind of operations, you use your laptop, but my A300 works perfectly with Win7 32 bit and has enough power for daily activity and all multimedia operations.

    Upgrade of RAM maximum and be happy with it.
