HP dv6885se RAM not recognized by the laptop, please help

I have a HP Pavilion dv6885se laptop which came with 3 GB of RAM. I took the 1 GB stick and put a 2 GB in. It is compatible and all, but the report of system is still saying I have 3GB of "Physical memory", although she ways 4 GB for "Installed". I have been informed that the 32-bit operating system can handle only 3.5 GB. But since I installed 4, shouldn't the "physical memory" read 3500MB?         I have Vista 32 bit, the computer can handle 4 GB of RAM DDR2 - 667 PC25300.   How can I get the computer to recognize that it's full of potential 3.5 GB?

Its extensible so that if you choose the 64 bit version of Windows you can do

and take full advantage of the 4 GB. If your laptop came preinstalled

64 bit OS, then it would likely came with the 4 GB already and cost a bit more.

Manufacturers should be a little clearer for people who do not understand

the differences. Your MCM came with 3 GB because they, HP, knew that the 32

bit version of Windows installed only use and see this amount.

You can leave the 4 GB. It won't hurt a thing. If you decide to upgrade to the 64

bit version that you will have to start from scratch on the installation. Not recommended

If you are not familiar with the process.

    Try opening the iPhone before connecting to Windows. If the film is not empty, then the device should be listed in Windows Explorer. If it still does not show try to restart the computer and the device, and then try again. If it does not show more in iTunes then try iOS device is not showing in iTunes for Windows.

    Could be a BIOS problem. And it is more likely to be the charger circuit that the
    battery although anything is possible. Definitely check with the support of Compaq and ask
    in their forums because this could well be a known issue with a hotfix.

  • My laptop with Windows Xp does not connect to the internet, please help me!

    Then my laptop, as indicates it works on Windows Xp, but even if I'm supposed to be connected to my home network, when I run Internet Explorer, it can not connect to internet. Any help and insight will help. Please help me!

    I'm sorry that had to retype all of this, but in essence, that everything indicates that things work correctly with your Internet connection.

    To translate, the first bit tells us that your router assigned your computer 192.168.0.12 IP address.  The own IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1

    The result of ping 127.0.0.1 indicates that your computer can communicate with itself (the adapter is OK)

    The 192.168.0.12 ping result indicates that your computer can communicate with your router (that we already knew because otherwise your computer don't would not have been assigned an IP address).  It also means that you are connected to your local network.

    The result of the ping 192.168.0.1 is similar to the 127.0.0.1 test.

    And finally, the ping Google result shows that you are able to access the Internet.

    Knowing all this, you probably need to reset TCP/IP or Winsock, or both.

    Manually:

    Open a command prompt window and type

    netsh winsock reset {enter}
    netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

  • HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

    Hello

    First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

    I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
    When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

    My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
    In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

    On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

    I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
    I have no CD of restoration.

    My questions:

    What kind of central computer has this laptop?
    Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    What can I do to fix this?
    How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

    My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
    But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

    I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

    Hello

    I'll try to help you my friend.

    > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
    This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
    I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

    I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

    Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
    > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
    The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
    But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

    > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
    What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

    Greetings

  • Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

    Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

    This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A60 - replacement HD not recognized in the BIOS

    I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
    I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.

    I suspected that the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.

    The recovery CD installs saying there no drive selected.

    Can anyone offer any help or advice on what I can try next?

    Here are some technical details.

    Laptop Toshiba A60-672
    old MK4025GAS (40gig) drive
    spare MK4026GAT (40gig) drive

    Thank you
    Phil

    > I have an A60 which began to shut down and not start.
    I tried to use the restore CD that has reinstalled the operating system, but the laptop still not managed to start after that.
    For me, it looks more like an overheating problem caused by the internal temperature.
    It is a typical problem if the cooling fans are clogged and that air can circulate properly.

    > I thought the HD failed and bought a toshiba 40gig drive replacement. I have installed the new drive but and been in the BIOS (F2 and F1), but the BIOS indicates there is no HD installed.
    One of my friends has updated the own Satellite with the new HARD drive and the HARD drive was not recognized by the BIOS due to the assignment of the PIN wrong and riders Check this!
