• EliteBook 8540w freezes at startup screen Windows after the installation of 2 x 4 GB

  Hello

  I have a laptop Elitebook 8540w. I wanted to upgrade to 2 x 4 GB 2x2gb RAM memory. I did buy a kit of 2 x 4 GB I wanted, instead, I bought two chips of memory from 4 GB of HP.

  After having replaced the modules of the notebook does not start.

  What has been done:

  -Restore default bios

  My first question is: I realize, it is best to purchase a kit of 2 matching tokens, but it's a must?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi 2worlds,.

  Your Elitebook 8540w is a commercial product and for your question more exposure, I would post in the trade forums. Here is a link to the forum Commercial Notebook.

• Satellite A300-1GC random freeze

  Hello

  my laptop (Satellite A300-1GC) worked very well for many years. But then last year he startet freeze randomly.

  What I mean with gel: I can't do anything, the mouse and the button are not, nothing on the screen moves (stop animations etc.). The only way to restart the computer is pressing the power on button for a few seconds.

  First of all I thought to a software problem, perhaps caused by an update windows (windows 7 Professional).

  The problem appeared different situations (programming, surfing the web,...), but often directly after starting the computer. Sometimes even in the login screen. I disabled all the startup process automatic antivirus, software, etc., but the problem remains.

  I never had the problem in safe mode (don't know if that's the correct word, in German, it is 'abgesicherter Modus'), but I don't use it very much, as a test.

  Then I installed linux mint on a separate partition. At first glance, it seems that the problem does not occur there. But after a few days: same problem. Random freezes, often after the start, but also at any time thereafter.

  I have not found any information related to the problem in the newspapers, in windows or Linux.

  So now I think it's a hardware problem, as it took place in windows (even at the login screen) and linux.
  I checked the disc with windows chkdisk and memory with memtest86 +. No error was found.

  You have an idea, what could be the reason for the gel? You need more info?

  Thank you very much

  Laptop could start freeze due to a higher internal temperature.
  After a long period of use fans and the vents may be blocked by dust.
  Dust prevents the fan is working properly and therefore the temperature could increase that may affect the functionality of the laptop.

  Try to clean the grates and remove the dust using a jet of compressed air.
  It is perhaps the best way to get rid of dust

  Another reason for this gel could be the memory problem
  It seems that you have already checked the laptop for the problems of RAM running the memtest86 + but even if this tool has said there is no problem of RAM, memory dysfunction might be possible. Of course it's only suggestion

  I think that you don't have a choice but to check each possibility: new installation of the OS, fan cleaning, maybe new HARD drive?

  Everything is possible

• HP Elitebook 8540w: bios administrator password

  I have a HP elitebook 8540w, iI forgot the BIOS administrator password, after three tries, I got the message: failure of authentication system locked, press the power button to restart the system. I need to install Windows 8 but not posible to boot from the CD-ROM.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, business machines such as Probooks or EliteBook have more strict security consumption patterns - they do not produce "stop codes", the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the code is stored in a nonvolatile memory to remove the RTC cell does not reset the password in this case.

  If you contact HP Business support, they may be able to file a custom SMC.bin that you can use to reset the password at startup.

  Hello @Alghzawi,

  To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

  Even if it is a Commercial product, I found that the system tells you that the caps lock is on.

  I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. This will restore all the functions return to default settings.

  You can try perform a reset.

  When you perform a hard reset note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.

  Here is a link to computer does not start for Windows.

  Can you hear the Fans? If so, try to connect to a monitor to see what is happening.

  Here's a video that might help. It shows you how to reinstall the HARD drive, which is sometimes useful

  Thank you.

• EliteBook 8540w: Elite book 8540w Windows 7 or Windows 10?

  Hi all

  I have a HP elitebook 8540w laptop with Windows 7. It is advisable to upgrade to windows 10?

  @Mrstenter, I don't think you understand the topic at hand.

  HP Support Assistant won't see 10 Windows is a viable OS for this laptop, so, it will not find something for her.

  While most of the components have in fact several updates, available from the OEM component, HP has been terrible to sustain this business 'quality' "Élite" mobile Workstation.

  The Support Site for the 8540w was a mess, and terribly inconsistent, almost all the time it was available, it's a big reason that when it was time for an update of the platform, I went for a Dell M4800 instead of the EliteBook/ZenBook/s comparible.

  Now, @Bredzy , insofar as Windows 10 is concerned; I leave the upgrade happens to mine:

  I tried 8 and 8.1 on it and went back to 7 times.

  10 has been good so far.

  All the drivers I have in place before the upgrade were still in place after the upgrade, which was nice, and same OneDrive is synchronization, despite the fact that I am not connect with my hotmail account.

  If you do not rely on the card mobile broadband, you'll be probably a bit stuck here.

  I have not tried the once again fingerprint reader, again, because even in 7, the weird mix of validity and ProtectTools jived never really for me, besides, PT integrated only with IE, which I almost never use, so it was pretty useless once the laptop is unlocked at the start.

  If you want to get most of your drivers updated before the upgrade, links here is what I use, from legitimate sources (Intel, AMD or Nvidia, HP)

  At HP:

• HP Elitebook 8540W CPU Upgrade!

  Hello

  I was just wondering if any1 can help me to make sure that if my HP Elitebook 8540W will support the processor bellow.

  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/50067/Intel-Core-I7-2720QM-processor-%286M-cache-2_20-GHz%29

  Thnx in advance!

  Hello:

  The desired processor is not supported as shown in the above messages + there are different system advice even upgrade to a quad core processor, if you have a dual core processor.

  BIOS update release notes indicate no added support for the processor you want to switch to another.

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 321957 & prodSeriesId = 4096175 & swItem = ob-92682-1 & prodNameId = 4097219 & swEnvOID = 4059 & swLang = 13 & taskId = 135 & mode = 5

  Here is the link to the Service Manual: Please refer to Chapter 3, page 26.

  Look at the cards system.  As you can see, there is a map of system for dual-core processors: 520 M, 540 M, 620 M and a different motherboard for quad-core processors: 720QM, 820QM

  http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c02196457/c02196457.PDF

  So, if you do not already have a 720QM in your laptop, you can only change your laptop with one of the processors dual-core.

• Satellite Pro A300 random freezes

  I had this problem for the last few weeks.

  Started during the game Football Manager 2011 and Windows Media Player in the background.
  Blue screen crash is came and never recovered from that, so I have it restored to its original condition and installed all the windows updates which have been important etc.

  Since then he has worked from time to time but always randomly freezes when I can move the mouse and but nothing responds.
  Did all error checks and scans and nothing does not appear.

  Just as my memory is now 871MB
  Would this problem solved by upgrading the RAM?
  Or is there another problem?

  Any help is the verywelcome

  Thank you
  MIC

  > Would be solved this problem by upgrading the RAM?
  Don t that s so many laptop OS freezes for different reasons
  -RAM issues
  -Questions BONE (graft)
  -Problems commutabilite between software
  -Serious problems of hardware (motherboard, etc.)
  -High temperature

  So, as you see it s hard to say what could cause this
  First of all I recommend to reinstall the operating system and clean the modules of cooling using a jet of compressed air, this will remove dust COO vents that may prevent air circulation. This can cause a temperature more high which could affect the functionality of the laptop.

• EliteBook 8540w crashes

  I have experienced some weird behavior of my EliteBook 8540w twice in the day: during labour, the whole of windows (not only) crashed suddenly without any previous error message, the machine, stop completely and instantly, like someone would have turned off a light bulb. Can you please explain what is causing this weird behavior? Any cure? Please feel free to ask back in case you think that my question is not clear enough.
  
  I use Windows 7 Pro, SP 1

  Like that sounds sudden questions as a potential problem of h/w. is the system on battery or plugged when closing occurs?

  In addition, before opening a case of pension (these systems come with a 3 year warranty), I encourage you to make the updates of drivers and bios

  Better, however, is to use the Softpaq Download Manager (www.hp.com/go/sdm) to install all the updates available and required for your systems. Just a word of warning only select and update h/w driver and BIOS (must be made independently of the other updates) with SDM, a great tool that does not do the WRONG thing

• Cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life on Tecra 8200 with Win XP

  Tecra 8200 with Win XP Professional

  The cursor randomly freezes and jumps to life after a few seconds, very rarely, I have to re - start.
  This happens as well with the mouse of keyboard or mouse remotely.

  Hope someone can help because it's driving crazy me.

  See you soon

  I agree with Akuma. Disable the internal mouse and external use only. I have old Tecra M1 with the same keyboard and in my case the problem was faulty Acupoint placed on the keyboard.

  With the new keyboard, everything was OK again.
  I recommend you to disable the mouse of the computer laptop and external use only.

• Qosmio X 870-152 - no sound after random freeze

  As the title says my laptop no sound after a random freeze,.
  with the loss of the sound also came the problem that I can not use my setup more that it does charge more.

  I can also levels below configuration screen as my system.

  Solver of problems Windows says that windows audio or an audio endpoint builder does not work propaly, but will not be can not solve

  If anyone has an idea of what I can do or what happened please tell me

  T is not easy to tell exactly what is happening on this virtual path.
  When your Qosmio freezes you have to like what's next? To restart Windows OS or what?
  Is everything OK again when your Qosmio restarts?

  You know that's not easy to understand exactly what is happening. Is there an error message?

  Maybe you should reinstall OS and test functionality with the 'settings '.

• Charger for Elitebook 8540W

  I got a charger 462602-001.

  Now, I wonder if it works with my Elitebook 8540w.

  I was looking for information, but I can't find my cell phone in the list.

  The that I find is the 8510w and even I know it's the same card for both.

  Can I use it?

  Hello

  It is a 90W charger and the 8540W can use:

  • Outside 150 W Smart adapter
  • External 120 W Smart adapter
  • External 90 W Smart adapter
  His blood pressure is perhaps a little weak, but you can use it before I buy a new charger.

• Qosmio G30 freezes at startup of Norton Internet Security 2008

  Norton Internet Security 2008 will freeze my computer because soon, it attempts to load and the only way to do is to restart the system by pressing the on/off key.

  My laptop is a Toshiba Qosmio G30-177 (model No. PQG32E-02G022GR) with Vista Ultimate and pre-installed NIS2007. I have no problem with this NIS2008 version on my other laptop (Qosmio F10 - PQF10E-02300JGR, WinXP MCE).
  NIS2007 works well on my G30 and I have no problems at all, but more recent versions of NIS seem to be in conflict with my system:

  1. I am able to install and run the new version, download all updates and adjusting the settings. Maybe, a couple days later my computer freezes after start in exactly when the NIS tray icon appears. For a few seconds there is simply no response of the system at all and the LED of my laptop show that any HD activity has ceased. After having been inactive during those seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a huge noise that I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was operating at 100% for a while due to other programs. Force a reboot, that's all I can do.

  2. now, this time, I rebooted my laptop successfully even once (took a few attempts) and it all of a sudden not freeze. Then I disabled the firewall and auto-protect at all times, so there was no freezing at startup and I just had to enable both the firewall and auto-protect after start manually. In order to avoid the gel again after the reboot, I always disabled NIS before shutdown. For one or two days of workaround has been quite successful.

  3. all of a sudden, after one or two days, this work around will become useless, because the system begins to freeze again at the time of the icon is displayed. In this case, restart has no effect at all, and NIS will continue to freeze at startup. I also tried to prevent form from NIS to ccApp.exe run automatically at startup (administrative tools > system configuration > "Startup" tab). It's successful and my laptop is able to start normally, but if later I try to start NIS manually, it will freeze again.

  I had this problem since NIS2008 just came out, so I thought that at the same time an update Windows or Norton may have solved the problem, but this weekend I gave another NIS2008 trying without success. I'm pretty sure that the problem is not caused by other software than Windows or Norton, because I also tried to install NIS after a full system recovery, so I've only preinstalled NIS2007 and Vista on my laptop. I use Norton removal tool and follow the instructions to uninstall before attempting to install the new version of course.
  My last hope was that the version of NIS2009beta somehow would not freeze my system, but it does. It does not matter if I try to start 2008 or version 2009beta, the problem is exactly the same.

  What really motivates me almost crazy is the fact that NIS works perfectly for a while, then needs enough small workaround, and then after some time completely refuses to work. In these two days I do not change system settings, install or uninstall programs or doing whatever it is that I felt might conflict with NIS...
  So far, I have no idea of the solution and have again use NIS2007.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

  Hello

  To be honest I don t use the Norton internet security because it slows down the performance of the laptop and he needs too many resources.
  I used the NIS06 and after several months of use I removed it from my system for the reasons mentioned above.

  I put really know what might be a problem with your Norton Internet Security but I guess its associated software question maybe there are a few compatibility issues with vista and NIS08. Who knows...

  In my opinion, you should first check the Symantec Web site for more details.
  Maybe these questions are mentioned somewhere in the FAQ section and maybe some updates or patches are available.

  Good bye

  > I have restored the pc to factory settings and updated all the drivers, but I always get this annoying problem...
  Hmmm... Why update all THE drivers if you n t know why this happen?
  You must restore mobile settings, open Notepad, and test it. can you confirm that to happen immediately after the restore laptop to factory settings?

  It is not easy to help with these issues. We don t know what kind of things is installed on your laptop, that extra ((troisieme party software) applications are installed, background processes are active, how your operating system is configured and so on.

  In my opinion a background activity is responsible for this. It can be installation of updates from Microsoft if you defined the option automatically. It may also be some antivirus analysis activities. Who knows?

  Try to change the configuration of the OS and operating system settings.
