HP EliteBook 8740w p/n VB744AV: Base model with only 2 RAM slots does not level up to 8 GB of RAM, 6 GB only?

So I discovered that my laptop is a version of the basic model of the Elitebook 8740w so I'm missing 2 RAM slots. However, I went to upgrade my RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB the other day, and after ensuring all the RAM was split and firmly fixed my laptop would only flicker the lights indicating that my ports were dirty, RAM was split in correctly or I ordered the bad RAM sticks (which I didn't, I double checked). So I have of the 4 GB split into the slot of the RAM under the keyboard and replace one of the original 2 GB sticks in the other RAM more accessible location at the bottom of the computer. Laptop started fine. I'll try the RAM slot again later tonight when I get home from work, but if anyone has any experience with this issue, I'd love to hear corrections or explanations on what I can do wrong.

I also want to note that I checked the specifications of the computer and it says that it should support the 8 GB of RAM or more. However I do not know if this is a generalization of the product since it usually comes with 4 vs slots of RAM upgrade only the 2 I have in my laptop.

Quad Core versions have 4 RAM slots and Dual Core 2 slots. Max 32 gig and 16 gig respectively. Try the reslotting and let us know how it goes. 8 concerts must be OK, assuming that compatible. If the problem persists, please provide the manufacturer for both modules reference numbers.

    What you see is compatible with the laptop being in reality a g6-2214so... model which only joined the video while the g6-2117eo switchable video dedicated. It would seem that someone put a g6-2214so inside a g7-2117eo chassis motherboard. BIOS is not the problem. He cannot do with material that does not exist.

  • Game room requires a video card that supports shader model 3.0 your video card does not meet these requirements

    I downloaded Microsoft Games for Windows - Live. I then downloaded & installed the game games room. When I tried to play it I got this error: game room requires a video card that supports shader model 3.0 your video card does not meet these requirements: How can I fix? Will this work? http://www.download3k.com/system-utilities/system-maintenance/download-graphics-card-driver-update.html

    Hello Ann42633,

    If you have not changed the video card that you purchased your computer, you can visit the Dell Web site and use the service tag to determine the video card.

    In addition, you can locate the type of video card you have by the following text:

    -Click Start

    -Type Device Manager into the start menu search box, press enter

    -Develop graphics cards

    You must also obtain the appropriate driver from the Dell Web site and update your video card.

    Hope this helps

  • Model test using the interface user does not appear in the user interface

    I created a user interface for a model and trying to test it (using the model to test > start a new configuration > model UI (select user interface) > finish), it does not have the user interface, instead, it shows the summary of Configuration page. I checked the user interface, and there the correctly defined page flow. What is the reason for this and what is the solution. Thanks in advance.

    Check if you have associated page flow to the UI or not. Can be done in the edit page of the user interface.
    Check if you have added a page active in pageflow or not.
    Also make sure that you have visible page - page display of page condition is true.

  • Cp6 - model with a first slide that is not published

    Hello people,

    I would include a first slide (in a model) which includes standards and instructions for a developer. But to do so, this slide must be designated as a still unpublished slide.

    I do not think that Captivate allows this, but I thought I would ask before throwing this idea.

    Yes, an alternative is to ask the developer to delete the slide before the publish.

    Thank you

    Shawn

    Shawn,

    Hide this slide, it will not be included in the publication, but in edit mode, it is visible.

    What I often do as well is to add instructions for the Assembly plan and display them for the rest of the project. Then, you must not worry hide/display of the slides. I used the approach of the working area in all my seminars on advanced actions online.

  • Model preview browser Works, preview HTML does not display correctly

    I created a template in Dreamweaver CS5, which includes little Javascript for random rotation banners. When I preview the page template in a browser, banner ads are displayed correctly and appear in a random order (as programmed through Javascript). However, when I create a new HTML page from this template, the preview of the browser will not display banner ads, just the text of the alternative image. Even when I don't add anything to the HTML page.

    Has anyone experience this problem? Any ideas what can be the cause of this?

    I have a feeling that it is a stupid, common mistake or some obscure problem, but I can't seem to find any existing help on forums.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    I'm guessing here.

    If you have a page that calls the images and/or scripts, these images/scripts access path must point to the right place.  They are OK?

  • Scrolling and volume bar does not not on my Pavillion dv7, model US notebook dv7-3060

    I have a Pavilion dv7, model: dv7-3060US notebook.  I upgraded my OS from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Ultimate.  Since the upgrade, scrolling on the Touchpad, (is is not off,) no longer works.  More, the touch volume control does not work properly.  The small speaker above the keyboard icon does not turn orange when the sound is muted and the volume on the screen bar no longer displays when you adjust the volume.

    I saw other models with the same issue, but have not found an ad for my particular model.  Where can I find a solution to this problem

    Hello

    With regard to the volume bar, follow these steps.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp48501-49000/sp48830.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When finished, restart the computer and let Windows load completely.  Open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

    Question for the TouchPad, first download the latest program install Synaptics driver from the link below and again, Save in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp49001-49500/sp49392.exe

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

    Now, follow the process under the heading "Setting horizontal and vertical scrolling" detailed in the link below.

    Configure the TouchPad.

    Kind regards

  • Model does not.

    An ambiguous title, I know, but that's my problem.

    I created a template. Its in the layout, I want to be in. It has a SpryMenBarVertical.css file and a SpryMenBar.js.

    When I create a 'new model Page' I'm able to edit the body of the page I want.

    However, when I go to save this new model page, I get the following errors:

    "Copy dependent files:

    This document uses the following files not in this site:

    SpryMenBarVertical.css

    SpryMenBar.js

    "Copy files to: C, etc, etc, etc.

    I don't know what that means or location, so I just click 'copy '.

    Then I get two of the following:

    "This change should change the code which is locked by a model or a translator. The changes will be rejected. ' [OK] is the only option.

    What I'm doing wrong here?

    What procedure do you use to create child pages?  Looks like you're not doing things.

    FYI: Spry has been abandoned in 2012.  Removed Adobe of PCOC in 2013.

    So, what version of DW do you use?

    Personally, I ditch Spry stuff and replace it with something better.  Spry does not work well with modern devices.

    It works for me. I made a new document of comp. I chose the icon of chart (top-right). In the column of import of the expert group who opened, clicked on my files.

    Hello

    I did have success using a SIM card in the SIM slot. The model in question does not recognize the SIM card and does nothing. Have already installed all known for human pilots, but still it does not work... I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem or if, indeed, the model has the ability to use a SIM card.

    Thank you!

    You are the very welcome.

    There should be an easy way to tell...

    Go to Device Manager, and then click to expand the class of device for the network cards.

    You will see the Intel ethernet that there are listed (cable network) card.

    You will see a map of wireless network model which is are listed

    and if the laptop has a WWAN card, you can see a model map of WWAN network that there are listed.
