HP G62 b40sm update for SSDS

Hi all

I plan to upgrade my HP G62 with SSD b40sm, but looking around on google I saw people sometimes have problems with the upgrade of the BIOS, or something.

Here is the link to the plug to my laptop and I'm curious to know if I can move on to the last of the SSDS like this on the link

I do not understand if there is difference with SATA II and SATA III and it affect laptops or I'm completely missguided with everything and all SSD - s can work like normal-s HARD disk.

Hi ValentinoK,

Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I saw your post regarding the upgrade to a Solid State Drive (SSD) for your g62-b40sm. Upgrading to an SSD can be tricky in a notebook. Your best bet is to go by Maintenance and Service of Guide for your model. On page 42, you will see the list of compatible drives and there is no SSD on this list, so there is no guarantee that it will install properly. Here is some additional information on SATA , which should help you too.

Thank you

    Hi all

    looking for advice to update for my 2 year old want 700-230ea descktop

    thought in the following way

    Replace the boot wth drive a fast SSD

    Doubling of the Ram of 16 MB to 32 MB

    Add a better graphics card.

    Just struggling to find compatibel points, so everyone has any idea, what type of memory should I watch so that its compatibility with the existing 2, 8 meg sticks

    SSDS seem to be a source of confusion that mine field that I should look for use as boot drive.

    Graphics card will be limited to what the power supply can turn off, someone knows what it supports current graphics cards go.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    @Paul80, welcome to the forum.

    Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

    The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

    As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

  • Pavilion Media Center M8400f Bios Update for Windows 7

    HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f. The Vista operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 (64 bit) a number of years.

    I've updated one of my hard drives with a SanDisk SSD (it is now my main drive with the operating system and all my files on board).

    The bios on the PC has never been updated.

    The SanDisk SSD dashboard software will not recognize the SanDisk SSD as the system has designated the SSD as a SCSI device. I need to access the bios for this change to AHCI. The current bios does not support this.

    The PC has a card mother MCP61PM-HM. There is no update for Windows 7 BIOS for that motherboard I know (updates Vista only).

     

    SanDisk gave me a link to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-82094-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... that shows a card mother M2P61PM-HM for m8400f desktop PC. This Bios download supports Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Can update the Bios to download safely a card mother M2P61PM-HM for card mother MCP61PM-HM I currently have?

    Hello

    The HP BIOS update link provided SanDisk is an update of the BIOS of your PC. It is listed under Win Vista 64 bit driver downloads here.

    If you look at the site to download the drivers for your PC you'll only see driver support for Win Vista but on 2010-04-08, Version 5.29, 1.47 M BIOS updatedshows support for Win 7.

    But the problem is this: the BIOS updates must be performed using the PC operating system comes with; in your case, Win Vista. Extreme care must be exercised when updating the BIOS under normal circumstances. I would not classify your situation as usual.

    I saw others download an update of the BIOS for their PC and try to install an operating system upgraded with disastrous effects. The PC was bricked.

    Be prepared for the worst case if you try to install the update to the BIOS.

    Trim is not supported in your PC, as it is.

    Unfortunately, I do not know what the consequences are for not having not TRIM support.

    I cannot say if adding a third party sata controller would be better than what you have now.

    There are several different cards to choose from, but which is the right one for the scenario that you are?

    I have seen that some say 'support for SSD.

    Who didn't tell me much.

    Some people say that the PCIe x 1 slot slows down the drive.  Others say it's faster.

  • Use of the COMPENSATOR for SSD

    Can someone enlighten me on how to use the TRIM for my SSD function? According to Windows, the TRIM is enabled. What I need to know, is if it is a function that is called and executed automatically by the system? Or is this something that I need to manually call as a routine preventive maintenance (similar to the use of defragment)? Thanks for any advice.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Useful information for SSD users with NVIDIA motherboards:

    Even if the Trim is enabled in Windows 7, mothers nForce NVIDIA cards do not send the order to the SSD TRIM.

    You can uninstall the well Nvidia controller in Device Manager and install the controller IDE from Microsoft, that allows to send commands to COMPENSATION for SSDS.

    Head to the Device Manager (menu start open, type Device Manager), and click on "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" and you will see 3 Nvidia Serial ATA Controllers. Right click on one of them and click on 'Properties' and go to the tab 'Pilot' 'Update Driver '. Click on "Browse my computer", then "Let me choose". You will see the option to choose "Standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller". Click this button and click on 'Next' and let it install.

    Do the same for the other Nvidia controllers in Device Manager, and then restart your system. After you have installed the controllers, you will be asked to restart again.

    SSD will have now a slight performance gain with the TRIM command, and ordinary hard drives also have a slight increase as well.

    I have an ASUS P5N - D 750i SLI motherboard and now my Trim actually works.

    Since the update for Sierra, Messages no longer displays Contact names - only phone numbers.  No instructions on how to remedy this.  Ideas?

    Hello

    Go into the Contacts application and ensure that it uses the same account synchronization like the iPhone and other devices you may be using.

    Also check the part of the accounts of the Contacts application preferences and make sure that it's only using one account.

    Hey there Scotchman2926,

    I understand that you are experiencing some problems with Apple music on Sierra. I have a few suggestions to help you solve this problem. First of all, if you are unable to access the iTunes Store as well as music from Apple, use the information in this article to help resolve this problem:

    If this does not resolve the problem, you might try signing out of your Apple ID in iTunes and then connect again.

    You won't see anything, but the problems reported here most of the time. This is a support forum. People without problems, much more numerous than those having problems, but they are not seeking this community to report this fact.

    I have updated both my 2014 11 "MBA and my iMac 2011. No real problem. Performance on the iMac has been well below normal after the upgrade, but pretty much a reboot fixed that.
