• With my HP Compaq DC7800 Convertible Minitowers audio driver problem

  Hello

  I'm having a problem of sound driver with my desktop HP Compaq DC7800 Convertible Minitowers.

  A few days ago I formatted my desktop PC and installed a new Windows XP Service pack 3. Like I need driver for my device, I managed to find all the drivers except for my audio device. As I saw that I have integrated audio on my motherboard, but the drivers I found on a HP support site (download the drivers), none of them work and there are too many (I also need to download drivers for other devices form intel site but that's another question). So, now I was hoping someone can help me find (finally) and install peripheral audio, so I can finish with the installation process. I will be grateful for this veeeeeerrrry thanks in advance.

  It does not matter. I found the driver that I needed: ADI high definition (HD Audio Driver - Sound Max)

  thx anyway

• How to solve '1801 Microcode Update error' in HP Compaq dc7800 Convertible Minitowers

  I have Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz. My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate x 64.

  Hello:

  The E7500 processor is not supported in the dc7800, reason why you get the error of microcode.

  Here is the list of supported processors.

  Intel Core 2 Duo processors:

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 (2.20 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 (2.40 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 (2.6 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB)

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (2.33 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 (3.0 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 1333 MHz FSB)

  Processor Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 (2.53 GHz, 3 MB cache L2, FSB to 1066 MHz)

  Inter Processor Core 2 Duo E8600 (3.33 GHz, 6 MB L2 Cache, bus front end to 1 333 MHz)

  As a long shot, you can try to install the latest firmware update. You must use a bootable USB key with back files in order to run the flashbin.exe command after copying the microcode update files in your USB drive bootable.

  I can't support dc7800 site. When you can, choose the 2010 v1.14 firmware update download

  If you are unfamiliar with how to make a bootable flash drive, this is a good 'how' of the article with the files you need.

• HP dc7800 Convertible Minitowers does not restart

  I recently bought a used HP dc7800 Convertible Minitowers. It works fine, but there is a question I leave me puzzled: whenever I restart the computer through Windows, it will not start correctly. Sometimes it shows the HP splash screen and goes just a black screen, and sometimes it shows the HP splash screen and restarts repeatedly. What is more strange is that shut down the computer and put on still work manually, and the computer will boot normally.

  System information:

  OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1

  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33 GHz

  RAM: 6.00 GB Dual - Channel DDR2 @ 398 MHz (6-6-6-18)

  Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 0AACh (XU1 PROCESSOR)

  HARD drive: 149GB Western Digital WDC WD1600AAJS-60B4A0 ATA Device (SATA)

  I agree Rick, that may be the problem.

  I don't see any BIOS date of issue (look under Vista) have nothing to do with Bitlocker or or boot up/reboot issues.

  I don't have the latest BIOS installed 1.32 at the time.

  I bought the PC used on eBay and the seller had put W7 Ultimate 32 bit on it without loading the drivers, etc. and just shipped.  Nor have I received any key disk or installation products.

  I got such a lot of things on it and I didn't care what OS he had.

  I wasn't going to let on in any case, because my plans were max out of the memory of 8 GB and install my copy of W7 Pro x 64.

  In any case, I just tried but updated the BIOS to get W7 Ultimate to work normally (just to see if I could help all the other people who were stop and start loop question).

  Everything I tried was unsuccessful.  And the thing is, some people dc7700/dc7800 ran very well with W7 Ultimate.

  It was just a handful of us who could never make it work right.

  My suggestion you Cinos, must abandon all hope to get to work and install W7 Pro or home (if you do not need to connect to a domain).

  No one I know has reported to solve this issue.

• HP Compaq dc7700p: how to fix '1801 Microcode Update error' HP Compaq dc7700p Convertible Minitowers

  Hello

  I read and read this post for a few times and I'm not sure it will work on my PC so I have to ask, how to solve '1801 Microcode Update error' in HP Compaq dc7700p Convertible Minitowers I upgraded it with E7200 instead of the original E6300

  Here is the product number: p/n RN120ET #UUZ

  I am in a position to start and start windows, I don't know is that it works normally or not, I'm just bored with the startup message:

  Please HELP and thank you in advance!

  Hello:

  You must upgrade the BIOS to version to get rid of the error of microcode, and processor at half the speed of the FSB only works because the update of the BIOS was not written for the E7xxx processors work correctly.

  You will need to run this software whenever you enter windows and change the multiplier up.

  Or you can run this batch file listed on the bottom of Web page so that it runs automatically.

  http://CrystalMark.info/software/CrystalCPUID/index-e.html

  If I were you, I just install an E6700 Conroe and have an update without problem.

  You will need to use the BACK base flash because I don't think that there is an update of the BIOS written for W7.

• OS for HP Compaq dc7800p Convertible Minitowers boards

  Gentlemen (and the occasional Lady).

  I just bought a minitour Convertible HP Compaq dc7800p computer on the cheap.

  From what I see, it seems almost not modified from its original configuration. It has an Intel Core Duo E6550 2.33 GHz processor, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, a 80 gig HARD drive and DVD read/write.

  HARD drive appears to have already disappeared completely - not even a left system recovery partition - so, no OS.

  I ran HP Insight Diagnostics on it and everything passed the comprehensive test.

  Now that I am fairly confident that it will work properly, I need to choose an operating system. It comes with Vista Business and I can get a replacement from HP for $11.00 drive. I don't know what service packs, where applicable, the hot spare. This would be a factor because I am limited to 56 k modem and these service packs would take a loooong time to download. But, all things being equal, I'd rather have Windows 7 Premium. The problem is that all things are not equal! A copy of Windows 7 is around $90,00 of distributors such as Tiger Direct.

  I'm accustomed to Windows XP and have never used later versions of Windows. It is popular wisdom that Win 7 is greater than Vista in many ways, but it is $ 79.00?

  I want this computer to take over the online activities of my XP computer because XP is more dangerous. I'll keep my XP machine and put any contact with the outside world when I'm pretty confident with a new OS. The HP machine will not be called to lift heavy objects - but that could change over time, as the HP is easy to upgrade.

  Given the description of my situation, it would be more prudent to get Vista Business on Win 7?

  Extended support for Vista is scheduled for completion in 2017, where I would then face the same problem that I have now with XP and I would find myself looking for a new OS once again. Win 7 will be supported until 2020. In the coming years a new version of Windows will be better than Win 7 to the point where I don't want to change operating system before 2020? This HP computer will be obsolete before then as to makes it unusable?

  There are a lot of these questions without reply. The essential is that I'm a good sobbing market and I eventually get more for my money on a copy of $11,00 of Vista or $90.00 for Win 7?

  Beyond that, I have other questions, but I'll fix it in another post. I went too long in this one!

  Thank you for your interest!

  Hello:

  I have a dc7800 CMT (E8300 processor) that I bought for my wife and upgraded to W7 because I got an upgrade to W7 pro I used no license.  I installed 8 GB of PC2-6400 memory and use a graphics Radeon HD 6570.

  I have for all of Vista Business 64 bit recovery disc to restore the original operating system should I decide to donate or resell the PC some days.

  I had the other dc7800 CMT (processor E6850) for my mother and order the recovery disks Vista Business 32 bit for it.

  Now, you can have a choice of the floppies to install Vista Business 32 or 64-bit.

  The set of recovery disks you get should have included SP1 (mine do).

  Then you will just need to DL SP2.

  It was the first thing I did once Vista was installed before that I made another anytbing to download the Setup file of Vista SP2 Standalone directly from Microsoft.

  If you do not ever plan on installing more than 4 GB memory, then the set of 32-bit recovery diskettes will suffice.

  I put 4 GB of memory in the PC of my mother because I had 4 x 1 GB of PC2-6400 memory, laying around.

  Windows 7 is a better operating system.  I call it "Vista that works."

  But really the main differences are:

  1 Vista seems to use more memory to run than W7, so more memory, you can throw to Vista better it works.

  2. the disk defragment tool seems to take forever to work.

  3. a few other minor quirks which I was able to use a few settings to make it better.

  I have used many of the settings on the link below and my mother PC works fine on Vista Business 32 bit.

  http://www.thewindowsclub.com/make-Windows-startup-run-Shutdown-faster

  I have disabled Vista Disk Defragmenter and use free Auslogics Disk Defragmenter that works just great.

  If I don't have a W7 license for use, I would have been perfectly happy under Vista Business dc7800 of my wife.

  I run Vista Business on an old notebook nc6400 and it works very well on that too.

  Then... IMO, I have just spend the $11.00 and go with Vista. If you like it, then you have saved $ 90 million.  If you have not, you buy W7, and you may have professional Vista recovery discs use one day as I want.

  A few final thoughts on the PC in general...

  1. make sure emulation sata in the BIOS storage section is set for RAID and IDE not.  RAID will be performing hard drive because it can take advantage of the native command queuing in RAID mode and it cannot in IDE mode.

  Many of the dc7800 are used in enterprise environments and have been downgraded to XP Pro. I would not be surprised if a large number of defined system IDE controller administrators when they set up their corporate images, because if they understand not drivers SATA RAID/AHCI necessary necessary in their corporate images for this and later models, their image it not install if the BIOS is set to RAID mode.

  It is the only native command Queuing does.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Command_Queuing

  2. set the boot order to boot from the hard drive first.  Who's going to shave a fraction of a second startup time.

  You can always press the F9 key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen to boot from another device.

  The installation seems to me that the problem
  "microcode update error".

  Hello:

  The E8500 must have worked.

  I suggest that you update the BIOS to the latest version.

  Since you are using W8.1, you will have to flash the BIOS using the method based on the BACK.

  Not only run Windows based BIOS flash.

  Before update you the BIOS, remove all that that can be connected to the PC, except the keyboard, mouse and monitor.

  There is a flash ROM control system contained in the file menu in the BIOS.

  You will need to format a Flash DRIVE with the FAT32 file system.

  Download and run the BIOS to support dc7800 page was last updated.

  An information page will open and show you the different methods to Flash the BIOS.

  What you want to do is to use the instructions F10 Setup of the BIOS flashing .

  This article, you click on the blue link BACK Flash directory and this will bring you to the bottom of the page to another blue link that is labeled View of BACK Flash content folder.

  Copy the contents (files) in the folder flash BACK to your USB.

  Plug the USB key into one of the front USB ports.

  Restart the computer and press the F10 key to enter the BIOS.

  Select the file Menu.  Then in this menu, there is a Flash ROM of system command.

  What to choose, and then select USB and PC should see the files on your USB flash BIOS.

  Follow the instructions to update the BIOS.

• HP compaq dc7700 convertible m: hp compaq dc7700 convertible minitowers no display

  Hi ive just got out the attic of my old pc, not connected my monitor and theres no display at the entrance.

  I remember having the same problem when I got it about 6 years ago first lol, I noticed in the box there is an adapter I plugged the wire in and then put it in another port (don't remember which) and display on monitor

  Problem ive got now is I seem to have lost this adapter and do not know what it is that I'm actually looking to buy another. Any ideas what it is?  Every day spent online search with no luck not even save the loft trying to find

  Thanks in advance

  The DC7700 CMT has a standard VGA video output and the only non - VGA card is the DY674A, this card would require an adapter to use a standard VGA monitor.  Look at the back of the DC7000 and monitor cable plug. Is this correct?

• hp compaq dc7800 (DDR2 or DDR3) graphics card

  Hello

  I have a minitour computer hp compaq dc7800 convertible. I want to develop it with a graphics card. I see my computer has a PCI Express x 16 slot. Does anyone know if the card must have the DDR2 memory? Or the graphics card could be DDR3?

  Thank you

  Marc

  Hi Marc,

  The type of Ram on the graphics card is not dictated by your PC, so you can quite happily fit a card with DDR2, DDR3 or DDR5.  The important factors to consider are the power requirements of the graphics card (that is, if you choose a card that requires a 400W provide you would need a unit of power supply in your PC that can deliver this) and that the card physically fits inside the tower.

  Best wishes

• HP Compaq dc7800: can I install SSD on HP Compaq dc7800 Minitour Convertible?

  Hello

  Can I install SSD on HP Compaq dc7800 Minitour Convertible?

  Should I notice something special in this SSD buying?

  I need to by a "cage" for the SSD?

  Hello:

  A problem you will have, is that there will be no support on this model, which means that you will not be able to optimize the drive SSD TRIM.

  This is because the PC has only two parameters of the disk controller... RAID and IDE.

  Support RAID TRIM is not introduced by Intel until the 7 Series chipsets came out.

  Yours has a 3 series chipset.

  That's the only reason why I have not put an SSD in my dc7800.

  Another problem you may encounter, it's that my dc7800 rejected all the sata III drives I have installed unless it's a SATA III which came with a HP PC.

  I had to take the disk of 1 TB SATA III out of my Elite CMT 8200 and exchange with the one I bought for my dc7800 because she had the symptoms listed in this HP newsletter below...

  http://h20566.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.Oid=3718645&calledBy=&AC.admitted=1379354458533.876444892.199480143&docid=emr_na-c02711513-3&docLocale=

  I first thought the WD Caviar Black drive I bought was defective and I returned it.

  When the spare drive did the same thing, I understood that there was some sort of compatibility issue and came across the above document.

  Bottom line... I didn't do it.

• HP Compaq DC7800: Seagate 1 TB hard drive would run smoothly on my pc?

  I use desktop core 2 duo Hp Compaq DC7800 with 2 GB of ram.
  Now, I intend to improve 320 GB to 1 TB of hard drive (Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 7200 RPM ST1000DM003 / MIN 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0 GB/s 3.5).
  -It would run smoothly on the system?
  -Is a good choice or 512?
  -This particular model of hard drive of another company?

  Hello:

  It is not the size of the hard drive.  In this model, you can go up to 2 TB.

  It is the speed of the drive that may conflict with the dc7800.

  Disks SATA 6.0 GB/s can have the problem that is described in the above-mentioned document, which mine had.

  If you don't want to take the risk of what happens, you have to get a SATA II (3.0 Gbps) drive, and they can be hard to find these days.
