HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF: HP Compaq 6000 Pro Compact (SFF) - memory upgrade problems

< <! UPGRADE MEMORY SHOULDN'T BE COMPLICATED! > >

Chassis: HP Compaq 6000 Pro Compact

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo @3. 00 GHz

RAM: 2 x 1 GB

OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

I can add more technical info on request.

Recently saved this PC of my friend tries to throw it. Everything is fine with the PC. It works perfectly and there is no material visible failure wihtin the PC either. He just bought a new and had no need for this one.

Before turn me this into a House mutli-purpose server, I decided to upgrade the RAM.

So I did some research and found this page: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01883661

DDR3 240-pin DIMM 1333 MHz non - ECC, Max 4 GB per DIMM slot, Total Max 16 GB module.

I went and bought RAM Corsair. Link to the product: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cmv4gx3m1a1333c9

I decided to get 2x4gb and upgrade later if I felt the need.

I was happy to install in the PC. one in DIMM 1 slot and the other in the DIMM 2 slot.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

I thought that maybe the slots are wrong, maybe they have to odd numbers then numbers.

So I changed the RAM of DIMM 2 DIMM 3.

Once again, the annoying ringtone.

I even tried leaving just the 4 GB DIMM 1 and tried to start the PC, but nothing helped.

I tried a lot of different combinations with the end result is 5 annoying beeps.

After that I thought that maybe, just maybe, an update of the BIOS can change things.

So I installed Windows 7 (I can't stand Windows. Arch Linux FTW) and performing a BIOS update.

I then installed the new RAM again. Yes... frickin 5 beeps AGAIN.

I am extremely disappointed at this point. I spent already $ 70 on a computer with free access.

I read the forums here, but I couldn't find a thread with a solution for me.

Is there anyone on this forum who could lend me a helping hand?

Any information would be gladly appreciated.

PS Please report any stupid error, I did. Stick and stones could not curb my bones.

Hello:

  • Compaq Presario CQ5300Y desktop PC - memory upgrade

    Hello, everyone! I hope you are all well.

    I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5300Y, to which I would like to upgrade the memory.

    The product specifications indicate clearly that the motherboard, a M2N68-(Narra5), 2 x DDR2 memory media. (In addition, the amount of installed memory is 2 GB.)

    The product specifications, in the information section of upgrade memory also mention the following:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dual channel memory architecture
    Supports two DDR2 DIMM (240-pin)

    Supported DIMM types:

    PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
    PC2-6400 (800 MHz)

    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered
    Supports DIMM DDR2 2 GB modules
    Supports up to 4 GB * on 32-bit PCs
    * 32 - bit operating systems cannot resolve a full 4.0 GB memory.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm clear (with what the article said) I have only available two DIMM DDR2 2 brackets.

    "What confuses me is the statement" ""supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM '. This is the reason for my question.

    "Supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM" means that I have to use 2 GB DDR DIMM only, which means I can only go to 4 GB? Or could I use 4GB DDR2 DIMM, which breaks the barrier of 4 GB?

    In a few words, I would like to - at least - 8GB (assuming that I find two modules DIMM DDR2 4 GB). Would it be possible to have the above configuration?

    It is important to mention that the PC is running a 64-bit operating system.

    I would appreciate the attention he can draw on this issue.

    Best regards.

  • Compaq presario 1800us (470013-558) memory upgrade

    It is an old laptop that I am trying to get a little more life on as a replacement/backup machine.  At currently stock 192 MB of RAM (64 MB on MB, 128MB on SODimm).  Performance is naturally miserable because of the many to get excited when the virtual memory should be used.

    Specs say it can take up to a total of 320 MB and the HP parts store indicates that a 256 MB module was formerly available.  The part number of this 256 MB module is 175325-001, but it is essentially impossible to get now.

    Online sellers seem to indicate that the equivalent part 256 MB is 161554-B21, which is available.  I ordered and received this part from a local seller online.  However, when I installed it, the laptop still shows that a total of 192 MB of RAM.  Software memtest.exe see the module 256MB 128 MB.

    Either:

    (A) the 256 MB module, I received is defective

    (B) the 161554-B21 part belongs the wrong for this machine

    (C) the BIOS is not configured to see the full 256 MB (BIOS shows any useful info and there is almost nothing to twist here - is - it possible to see more info?)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Jerry

    At this point, there are only a few explanations that can explain it.

    1. the motherboard is limited. This probably isn't the case since it supports up to 320 MB of RAM.

    2. the RAM is classified. A possibility, but the RAM chips appear to be intended for a stick of 256 MB of RAM.

    3. some of the RAM chips are failed, but not be detected by a tester memory. It's the most likely scenario.

    I would contact the supply store that they have been purchased from replacement or the manufacturer of the RAM for troubleshooting.

    I would also recommend, get the HP RAM if possible. If you are interested in the HP RAM, then you can try this RAM. If it does not load, just search the 167136-001 part number. It is listed as available here, but I would be surprised if they still had the PC100 memory.

  • Satellite Pro 4300 - memory upgrade problem

    Hello

    I know that the issue has been already discussed several times, but it seems that none of the solutions or suggestions posted earlier apply to my situation.
    I recently bought an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. The laptop has a slot filled memory of 64 MB module of the system's total memory was 128 MB.
    Because in my opinion, the system has worked to slow down, I decided to buy an additional memory module. I bought 128 MB - module TOSHIBA PA3005U k and placed in the slot B

    I was very surprised when I found that, after the upgrade, Windows showed that the total memory is 192 MB.
    When I put the 128 MB in the slot module is and the old module of 64 MB in the slot B - the surprise was even bigger, given that windows showed only 128 MB.

    I first thought that the slot B is defective, but in this case, it would be impossible to get in the first place the 192 MB. Then I thought that the new module of memory was either defective or it was 64 MB instead of 128 MB, but this option is also likely, according to my observations. Furthermore, I checked with EVEREST software system and it recognizes the new module as 128 MB module, but does not see the old 64 MB module.

    The situation is quite strange. Does anyone has an idea whay happens?

    Kind regards

    Sebastian

    To my knowledge, the 4300 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to 320 MB max.
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5769&ft=m&St=3

    64 MB module which was fitted with your laptop should not be removable.
    So in this slot ONLY this 64 MB module could work properly.

    I know it's strange but the computer world is sometimes strange ;) you know :D

    Yes. Your portable computer is DDR2 RAM module. I don't know about you but I think you can improve it up to 4 GB. You can for example use a 2 GB RAM and level to 2.5 GB.
    Compatible RAM 2 GB module is with the PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  • Satellite Pro C70 - A - memory upgrade

    I understand that part of the system memory can be used to improve performance. (up to 4 GB)?

    1. How can I do this?
    2. do I need to increase the Basic 6 GB supplied with the machine?

    Thanks in advance for any constructive advice :).

    You can improve the performance of your laptop upgrade memory. I don't know what model of laptop do you have exactly and can not verify the specification.
    Please post the complete model name.

    I imagine that you will be able to increase memory up to 8 GB anyway.

    Are you satisfied with the performance of s for laptop?

  • HP dc 7900 sff memory update

    Hello, this week the team here helped me to update my BIOS for my Compaq HP DC 7900 SFF. I have four available memory slots, and the computer's specifications say that it can have a total of 16 GB of memory. I could not find the specifications of the type of memory should I use.

    Can anyone here point me in the right direction for a memory upgrade?

    Thank you in advance,

    Peace,

    Mark

    Thank you as always, I paid 90 million dollars for the dc 7900 with 4 GB of ram, burner light scribe, two core 8400 processor. 250 GB hard drive, only really bad thing is that each of the modules 4 memory are a different speed, and it comes up as unknown. I think that this computer can only run as fast as the module of memory of slowese. I'll probably get 4 GB memory and keep it for now, it works great and I like it better than my gateway 560 Gr. I am running windows 7 ultra 64-bit. and I'm happy. I think that if I change the memory, it will peform better year and the next update to the hp 8200. They go for about $300 used on e - bay, and hp/compaq has always been my brand.

    According to this page, is supposed to have "1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick®, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)", but the pdf manual that comes with it says that it supports not the Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo or mini-SD.

    However, I have a Memory Stick Pro, and a Memory Stick Pro Duo in a Memory Stick Pro adapter, and the reader can't read one of them (they both count as Memory Stick Pro, which should be readable, right?)

    Would I be able to read my Memory Stick Pro cards? Why I can't because it says that I should be able to? Should I install something first?

    Hello

    To my knowledge and according to the manual of bridge housing media supports media type
    -SD memory card
    -MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card
    -Memory Stick
    -Memory Stick Pro

    Please note that the Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro are not the same in the Memory stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo.

  • Mac Pro (to 2008-ish) upgrade help requested!

    Hi guys,.

    I just turned on my Mac Pro after 5 years and would like to give him a good ol' upgrade '.

    The specifications are in the grabs form attached below.

    How would you recommend that I do? Should I buy Snow Leopard from the Mac store and then make all the upgrades and then on the Mountain Lion?
    Is the manual work that is robust enough to support one or two of these BONES?

    It is running CS3 programs, I have CS4 on my MacBook Pro that I don't use, so I hope I can migrate this package on somehow too.

    Read a lot of forums online, I think that CS3 programs running is possible up to Snow Leopard and CS4 up to Mountain Lion?

    Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot for taking the time!

    Mac Pro1, 1 from a first generation Mac Pro and support for which ends in 10.7.5.   The only way to get to 10.7.5 via a purchase of 10.6, Yes.   If you want to spend money on this Mac Pro - rather than scrounging a somewhat more recent Mac Pro in the secondary market as a Mac Pro3, 1 Early 2008 model (which can run El Capitan) or a model later Mac Pro - add more memory.   Probably eight or maybe 16 years would be preferable, if you do any sort if intensive work with images or video.

    AI CS5 keyboard shortcuts do not work. I restarted and have no other problem with my MacBook Pro. What is the problem?

    Bill,

    The following is a general list of things, try when the question is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media. You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall.
