EliteBook upgrade

Hello

I'm looking for advice on how to generally improve performance on my Elitebook 8530p. 2ce9110z22 s/n, p/n FV459EA #BN, servicetag E8530pTT9600H5X25GIBUCN40Qe. Today, it has a processor Intel Core Duo T 9600, 280Ghz and 2.96 RAM. The HD is 240 GB

As an eager amateur photographer I use the pc to run Adobe cs 5. He was always a bit slow, but today it's even worse and worse.

I'm looking for advice on how to upgrade the memory to live and possibly the hard drive? And if someone could tell me if it is a good idea?

Yes, it's a 7200 RPM drive. You can't pass 32-bit of Windows Xp to WIndows 7 64 - bit, so that would require a reinstall of the OS and CS5. You have so much memory that XP can manage. Your computer with Windows 7 64-bit and 8 GB of RAM would be at least twice as effective execution of Photoshop. Since you do not need to upgrade the hard drive, you can buy just the memory (you need of DDR2 800 mhz SO-DIMM) and buy 64-bit Windows 7 (Home Premium would work fine). I would add that CS5 is having a few problems and is not well regarded in the Photoshop community. My wife has both CS4 and CS5 and says she uses 4 very much more frequently.

The memory will be between $100 and $200:

    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.

    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

  • memory of HP elitebook 8440p upgrade question

    Hi all

    I have a quick question today, in fact I have a Hp Elitebook 8440p with core i5 and 2 GB of ram (samsung 2rx8 pc3-10600).

    and I am running windows 7 x 64 bit.

    so I decided to upgrade memory up to 8 GB and I install 2 x 4 GB (matched pair) (hynix 1rx8 pc3-10600). but it does not work. won't start and loop. and if I put original samsung 2GB new then its job well...

    I tried several times with all possible combinations, but it does not work. and if I go to the bios Setup, it shows 8 GB memory installed in it but can't get thorugh inside.

    I wonder what the problem of 2rx8 and 1rx8? because my old 2rx8 obtained original and new obtained 1rx8 on that...

    I'm really worried about it... Please help me soon... Thanks in advance

    I can't say 100% for sure, but yes, I think that the number of chips of memory to the Board of Directors may indicate density.

    The symptoms you describe indicate a problem of density to a "t".

    Memory shows in the BIOS, but the PC refuses to work with her.

    I suggested this to several others and cause when they bought the memory of lower density with 16 chips to the Board of Directors, their problem has been resolved.

  • EliteBook 8440p: elitebook 8440p upgrade of windows 10 mess with boot

    Hello!

    I bought a refurbished elitebook 8440p with pre-installed windows 7, 8 GB of RAM, 2.40 GHz processor.  I continued to refuse the upgrade of windows 10 when he constantly jumped upward and then one day I turned on the computer and it updated in any cases without permission.

    Since the upgrade, if I shut down my computer, or try to put in standby or Hibernate mode, when I go to wake up or put on, I always get a white screen. In general, I have to turn power several times on and off until any startup screen. Then half of the time, when I get a splash screen, my cursor is stuck at the top of the page, moving only left or right whenever I try to move it. So I have to turn and turn until a new screen is displayed.

    I studied how to remove 10 windows and reinstall windows 7. I passed the period of 10 days or 30 days. Media creation tool asks for the product key which I type in the sticker on the bottom of the laptop, but do not pass the verification process saying to contact the manufacturer for help.  Apparently there may be specific drivers or something you took when it improved and the media tool does not allow me to create anything for me to do a clean reinstall of windows 7.

    I tried to find an option after pressing esc at the f11 reset start screen. There was no option to do so. The best I could do was to 'reset' of the computer, but he took back to the original Windows that it is firstly set at level 10 to. All my files are deleted from the computer. I just want to return to Windows 7, but could not find an effective way to do it.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • EliteBook 840 G2: Elitebook after Windows 10 Upgrade keys does not

    Hi on board,

    I'm a 840 Elitebook brand new last week with Win7 and directly upgraded to Win10 64-bit yesterday. It works although until now unless there is a big thing, some keys (FN + F9 for example) are not executed. You know, those little keys most of us use a lot to adjust the brightness or volume.

    In my case, there is the problem with FN + F8, F9 and F10 (off mic, down screen brightness and the brightness of the screen to the top). Other keys work fine (for example, volume).

    Someone at - it a specific link to a Win10 driver for this problem. I was looking on the half-hour but can't find anything (especially not the solution for Win8 proposed with the hot key driver). It might be my problem due to the fact that I'm not used to the new page from HP.

    Any help is appreciated a lot,

  • Is it possible to upgrade processor for EliteBook 8560p

    This EliteBook 8560p currently offers 1618 KBC Version 97.4 ch. card system, I updated the BIOS to Version F.29 68SCF and the current processor is i5 - 2520M to 2.5 GHz.  I think that it is a quad core - when I look in device under processors Manager I see 4 of them.   The chart is the Radeon HD 6470 M.

    Hello

    Looks like there is an ultra low-voltage CPU. This means that the CPU is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced. The only option here is to replace the whole motherboard. However, I don't think that this kind of upgrade will be sentencing because the jury with a Core i7 processor will not give you a lot of power for the money.

    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:

    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.

  • Upgrading processors EliteBook?

    Hey guys' no lags.

    I recently bought a 8770p Elitebook.

    Specifications are

    Chipset mobile Intel QM57 Express, 4 GB RAM, 500 gb HDD, i7 840QM clocked at 1.73 ghz, Intel HD Graphics (GMA) with Nvidia MVS 3100 M.

    Here my question, I want to be able to play better games on this subject, because the processor is not enough powerful im all for the upgrade it but the graphics car is low incredilbly and is integrated (unfortunately). I was able to upgrade the processor and get a more powerful integrated graphics with her card, or am I stuck with it? The RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB so some decent graphics and that would be really sweet. Im not talking bf4 on ultra chart either, just good enough to play some mid level games as Outlast and Dayz.

    Thank you!

    He is a 8440p... 14-inch screen.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    You already have the top processor and the laptop can come as a discrete or UMA. There is also a workstation with a slightly more powerful graphics card version. See Page 4-50. None has an MXM video card slot. You could theoretically install the card mother 8440w and have a 512 meg graphics card, Nvidia N10M-GLM, but if you already have the nVidia graphics, the difference between the discreet 8440p and the graphic workstation is negligible. These video cards are for works of civil engineering such as CAD and design in 3D and not for games even if they will be better than an Intel HD3000 game of course. I can't find the motherboard of 8440w on HP site or eBay but much advice discrete 8440p is available on eBay. If you actually have the UMA (Intel only) then your only way to improve video performance is to buy and install the motherboard dedicated graphics processor.

    There is info on the graphics card from nVidia available on 8440 series:

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_380_m_us.html

    http://www.notebookcheck.NET/NVIDIA-Quadro-FX-380M.24737.0.html

    This is an entry level graphics card workstation. What they correspond to the Geforce 310 M, which is at the level of the very bottom of the discrete video cards. This article (above) indicates that the drivers used for the use of the workstation could actually hamper performance of game, so you can see if you can get a consumer game driver type to work for you.

  • HP Elitebook 8540w RAM Upgrade

    Hello

    I am currently in the process of upgrading the RAM in my Elitebook 8540w. I have the i7 Intel M620 (dual-core) and bought the computer in August 2010. I also have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 2x2gb (total 4 GB) of RAM.

    I watched this document in order to see what the options were: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04150938&ver=25

    Now, I see 2 contradictory statements in this document. On page 7, it is said that 8 GB modules are only compatible with quad-core processors (represented by two asterisks) and that it would be possible to have 8 GB (2x4gb) total in my case. Then, on page 18, the table indicates that a configuration of 2x8GB (16GB total) would be possible since there are no asterisks in addition to this configuration.

    So who is the maximum I can put in: 2x4gb or 2x8GB?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The document is for many products for the complete series. Looks like your machine is a machine double heart so it only it supports only 8 GB for 2 slots (the first * indicates 8Gb each slot, and a quad core, you can get up to 4 x 8 = 32 GB).
