  Is there someone who has experienced the same problem and found a wayout to resolve the problem?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Turion 64 X 2 MDTL60HAX5DM is not compatible because it belongs to the generation previous AMD Socket S1g1

• Compaq Presario C731TU: RAM and CPU max UPGRADE Presario C731tu chipset GLS960 cpusocket PPGA478 RAM and CPU max UPGRADE

  Hi all!

  I have a Compaq Presario C731TU I absolutely need to upgrade its opportunities top of page. I discovered that he could run processor family Intel core 2 duo, and celeron family, that sounds really good!

  Then consulted taken PPGA478 processors on the site of intel with their processor feature filter (http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced?s=t&FamilyText=Legacy%20Intel%C2%AE%20Core%E2%84%A22%20Processo...)   the best option seems to be Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9500 (2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB Cache).

  My question is:

  Is there another cpu option better? Inside of a forum, I read that it can withstand up to Intel C2D T9xxx family but after T9500 (e.g. T9600 or T9900) taking turns into PGA478 and not PPGA478. What is the difference between PPGA478 and PGA478? are they the same or not?

  Are there limits on the CPU with the BIOS upgrade? (mine is upgrated to F34 which should be the latest version)

  About RAM: this laptop should work max 2 GB of ram but in fact I use it with 3 GB of ram (with these config.: 1 GB on the inner slot and 2 GB on the external, the inverse solution does not work, can not guess why), but someone "found a way" to use the 2 banks of 2 GB 4 GB total (and if according with this http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/specupdate/316274.pdf - pag. 19 - should be quite possible) , what ram 2x2gb modules can be accepted if? Help me = S

  Thank you very much in advance!

  I opened the laptop and the chipset inside the computer, wirtten there is an INTEL GL 960 who should manage only 553 mhz FSB... But... I installed inside, as the core 2 duo t9300, which has 800 Mhz FSB and it is fully functional in frequency from 800 Mhz to FSB. Really good news =)

  AIDA 64 tool (former Everest) shows the FSB of GL960 chipset can run on 533, 667 and 800 Mhz frequency.

• 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.

  Hello:

  Each slot of memory on the motherboard of your PC cannot accept that a maximum of one module of memory of 2 GB.

  1 x 2 GB will work.

  2 x 2 GB will work.

  1 x 4 GB will not work.

  2 x 4 GB will not work.

  I have a Compaq Presario model No. Laptop computer V2036AP.

  It's Nr is PP967PA #UUF.

   

  Other details are,

  • Processors:-Intel Centrino
  • RAM:-upgrade to 2 GB (1 GB x 2)
  • OS:-upgrades to Windows 7 Home Edition, Service Pack 1, 32-Bit

   

  The HARD original disk that came with the laptop crashed 2 days back (November 1, 2015) and since then, I searched like crazy on the net about upgrading to an SSD, but did not all relevant information on my particular model referred to above and therefore this message.

  My questions are:-

  • Option-1, can I get an internal SSD 128 or 256 GB?
  • If so, what should be the specifications for the SSD?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-1?
  • Option-2, can I get an SSD external and operated through one of the 3 USB Ports?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-2?
  • Option-3, can I mount a HARD drive external and operated through one of the 3 USB Ports?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-3?
  • Option-4, can I mount a 128 or 256 GB internal HARD drive?
  • What should be the specifications for HARD drive internal for Option-4?

  I'm really interested to be my laptop above through SSD only, so if anyone can give a solution for this purpose, it will be very very useful.

  Waiting for your first answers & thanks in advance!

  No he is the type of hard disk and how it connects, and you have this kind

  

  And an SSD is like this:

  

  See the difference in the interface? It is a kind of hole plug round/square of the thing. I could go on technically on different types of storage controllers and how to optimize the speed of SSD, but the different plug-ins is a killer deal from the outset.

  On what you can do if you want to speed up the hard disk, performance is to find a 7200 RPM hard drive PATA (top photo), which will be much faster than 4200 or 5400 RPM nature, which is probably what has / have. I actually bought a supply of 60 GB 7200 RPM IDE/PATA drives of the laptop that I use in my hobby of refurbishing older laptops. I don't want to sell to a member of the Forum HP (kind of conflict of interest), but I can probably direct you to the place I got them if you will send me a PM.

  My best real advice is that your laptop if it were a car would have the right to have "Antique" plates and is actually just a little newer than some of the 'old' portable in my "vintage" collection The market is very respectful of the buyer and you can get a laptop that will run rings around you for maybe $300 these days and will allow you to use a modern OS with a semblance of security. I don't think not that your could run anything newer than XP.

• Problem of PC keyboard laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-224NR after the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

  I have recently upgraded the OS on my laptop PC Compaq Presario CQ60 224NR Vista Service Pack 2 to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit Service Pack 1.  I updated the drivers before upgrading and checked for the latest drivers after upgrade also.  After the upgrade, the keyboard of the laptop works only partially when I use a web browser.  This includes IE and Firefox.  Above the QWERTY keys do not work correctly.  If I press one of these keys or SHIFT and one of these keys, the last character, symbol, or space I typed before is repeated instead.  Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  Well, I searched for several hours and found a solution, at least for me I am a customer of Comcast and I installed constant guard.  There is a key logger that is included in the package that it causes the problem.  I uninstalled GuardedID and my problem disappeared.  I hope it works for you.

• Compaq Presario 2586US laptop - hard drive upgrade

  Recently, I took a chance and bought 2 'parts only' Compaq Presario 2500 laptop computer series off Ebay and was able to make a unique work PC with motherboard of the 2586US being the motherboard, I used.  I don't have a hard drive, so I bought a Samsung 160 GB ATA drive.  Turns out I have to not need the adapter on the end of bus because it plugged right in the motherboard making.  The reader is supposed to be ATA100 and ATA133 at the upper end (I don't remember which).  I put the drive and installed Windows.  I noticed that it seemed slow but Windows showed the disc to the original format.  Then I went to dual-boot with a Linux distribution and encountered errors.  Thanks to a lot of research on the web I found the BIOS and the IDE interface itself (?) apparently does not have a drive larger than 137 GB.  I checked the BIOS and indeed it says the maximum usable size 137 GB.  It also shows the transfer rate to DMA2, which, as I understand it, means that it is only the transfer to 33 MB instead of 100 or 133 MB.  The service manual says ATA100, so it should support a transfer DMA5 rate.

  I don't pretend to understand all of this at all.  So, I'm looking for help.

  (1) is anyway to go beyond 137 GB on a hard drive in this laptop?

  (2) otherwise, it's the fact that my drive is actually 160 GB when the PC support 137Go cause more problems?

  (3) what should I do to obtain a rate of transfer beyond DMA2?  The configuration of the BIOS doesn't let me tab this field to change.

  Thanks for any help and explanations that I can understand.  Don't forget that I am just your average Joe and not some kind of expert at all.  I found a lot of this on the web but don't know what it means.

  Thanks in advance!

  After a lot of research and reading on the net, I found the following link:

  http://wwwcsif.cs.ucdavis.edu/~leeey/A7A266/

  Basically, the driver ALi M5229 was the problem.  It was not really support the DMA modes.  The link explains this and provides a link for the driver of the UDMA for the chip (it is not only the miniport driver that you get from the Compaq/HP site).  I installed it, had to reboot about 3 or 4 times due to messages "new hardware has been installed, but a reboot is required.  When I finally got around those I noticed that in Device Manager I see the ALi controller and it is listed as a UDMA controller now.  The individual channels are not displayed (the pilot seems to configure the drives as SCSI peripheral nickname).  Using the included ALi utility, it shows my driver running at ATA100/133.  Startup, everything including startup items until my office is there, the system's busiest has been reduced to about 1/4 or 1/5 while she was before.   I have a new system of hearts for my office, so sometimes I think that it still seems a bit slow, but there is a world of difference between a modern quad core system and this old laptop P4 architecture, etc..  But okay, the laptop works fine now in Windows.  Now I'll have to see what it looks like for Linux, because I have no idea what it uses for the driver ALi M5229.

  I think we can safely call this thread closed, how ever do you that.  Somehow, I thought she was going to be a bit obscure, and I guess you can say it was!

  Thank you all for any help here!

• Compaq Presario CQ60-210US pre-staged at level question

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ60-210US I intend to upgrade to Windows 7.  Right now it is running Vista 32 bit and 2 GB memory system.  I am considering upgrading to 4 GB in the future and I know that on systems with dedicated video memory, that should be the 64-bit version.

  What I want to know, because the video chip takes his memory system memory and has no own dedicated memory, if she really wants to be worth upgrading to Windows 7 64 - bit during the upgrade to Windows 7 32 bit?

  Well, if you want not to lose any only upgrade to 3 GB, it removes the BONE size and is used for the video if you put 4 GB, but you can still see an improvement over 3 GB.

  I tried both on no specialized memory units and I saw a slight improvement with 4, nothing to wirte welcome words but I was running SW benchmarking.

  So 3 GB and you lose nothing, 4 GB, you may lose half a GB.

• Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX: can I upgrade to Windows 10?

  I have a laptop Presario CQ56-115DX, bought October 2010 (5.5 years) and running Windows 7. Considering the free update of Windows 10, I am concerned about the graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD4250). I can't find an answer consistent and simple as to if it will work with Windows 10. Some sources claim a flat No., while others say No Problem, and still others say it's possible, but I'll have to pass through many creoles, manual installation of upgrades/downgrades of device drivers before, during and after the upgrade of the OS.  Maybe a BIOS update, too.

  So, can someone give me the history of right? When all is said and done, I at least will be no worse off as I am today on Windows 7, for graphics and video capabilities? I do more than very light animation and card games - no heavy action or stuff VR Council. This laptop has the power to do this kind of things anyway. If there is clear instructions somewhere for the manual steps that must be done before pulling the trigger on the upgrade of Win10, I can follow them. I don't want to risk in bricks during the upgrade! Supposedly, for 30 days after the upgrade, I can return to Windows 7, but it's no good if I can't get on the machine in the first place.

  I realize that this machine is getting quite long in the tooth, so a hardware upgrade (if that's even possible) is out of the question. If I have to stay on Windows 7, I'll run that, until the support is gone and then switch to Linux or something (maybe dual boot) until the material finally die.

  Are there any other known folds in a Windows 10 upgrade, in addition to the graphics? I've seen complaints about wireless, keyboards, optical drives and other things does not work properly after the upgrade.

  PPerry57

  My advice, after these uprades and seen THEM fail miserably on the old PC (like yours) are NOT to do the upgrade.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!

  Also, there is no upgrade for the BIOS of your PC because it has not been compiled with Win10 in mind.

  While Microsoft tells you there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly faction of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when it fails it can leave machinery in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

  Thus, people who tell you that you are no worse off the power if you upgrade to level do not take account of the reality of the situation - you'll be no better off and will be certainly less well off, how much, nobody knows.

  However, if you are willing to do some work and are determined to try to upgrade, then read on...

  You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.  Old machine Win7 tend to come in two flavors when it comes to upgrading Win10 - really easy and really difficult.

  The really hard to upgrade computers fall into two categories: (1) those who are expandable to Win10 and works OK, (2) those who are not.

  Computers laptops HP, especially old Win7 machines, often came with two different graphics - and Intel chips and then either a processor AMD or Nvidia.  This was known as switchable graphics card or hybrid.  You have run using the Intel chip most of the time, but when you need additional graphics power, as in the game, the PC automatically switched over to the use of the AMD or Nvidia graphics chip.

  Problem is, this requires special graphics drivers to work, and while that those that are preinstalled on laptops Win7, these drivers simply do not exist for Win10.  These drivers are not available from Intel, AMD or Nvidia.  One way to tell if your PC has two different graphics chips is to look in under Graphics Device Manager.  If there are two different cards in the list, an Intel and AMD/Nividia, then you have this problem - and if you force an upgrade to Win10, you will have serious graphic problems and your machine will not work.

  However, if you do not have this problem, to CAN pass to Win10, but you must be willing to do four things:
  (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
  (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
  (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
  (4) prepare for a clean install.

  ---------------------------------
  1: backup of images:
  This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
  ---------------------------------
  2: System reserved for resizing:
  There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
  ---------------------------------
  3: use a different approach to upgrade:
  Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

  After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
  ---------------------------------
  4: be prepared to clean-install:
  If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.

  You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html

  You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.

• Compaq Presario CQ5110Y: Compatibility of CPU fan

  After doing a little research, I have another question regarding the change of my CPU fan.

  An article I read said that I need to check the compatibility of the new fan that I use as a replacement for my fan CPU 7 year and liked because he must blow at the same speed as the original fan; otherwise, the BIOS may not recognize the fan.

  How can I find out if the new fan specifications are the same as the old one? I already bought a 80 mm fan, but I don't know if it's the right to be placed on the radiator.

  Thank you.

  Thanks for asking this question.  The simple answer is a program called CPUIDHWMonitor.

• Compaq-Presario CQ5110F: the graphics card upgrade

  In order to upgrade to Windows 10, I have to upgrade my video screen, so I purchased and installed a 2 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 in PCI Ex16 slot on the motherboard, but my system of refuses to recognize it, even if I changed the main video screen in the BIOS PCI Ex16. What I'm doing wrong here? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you

  Hello:

  The Nvidia 730 series cards do not work on an old PC.

  The BIOS will not accept it.

  If you want a nVidia card which is close to the 730, you go with GT 630.

  Also, there is a workaround to use the integrated graphics card and upgrading to W10.

  See the discussion below.  You launch the DVD you made from the windows desktop and ignore the checking of updates.

• 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.
