HP Pavilion dv5-1020ew RAM update, HARD drive maybe processor

Hello!

Recently, I came up with the idea to speed up the laptop, so we realize it!

Proposed changes:
3 GB of RAM, 800 MHz-> 8 GB RAM 800/1333 MHz
250GB HDD, 5200 RPM / s-> 128GB SSD
AMD Turion X 2 64->?

In addition, I fell on the lack of data after the rise to power the laptop: the framework is installed on the frequency of 400 MHz, 800 MHz and is documentation.

What do you think? Don't you think it is worth? What are the parameters must have the new parts are compatible?

You are the very welcome.

When I find there is conflicting information on memory, I want to run the analysis of Crucial memory tool which should report how much memory you can install.

If I had to guess, I'd say 8 GB max seems more reasonable.

You will find 2 x 4 GB PC2 - 6400 modules of memory are very expensive.

You can buy a SATA III SSD, but it will only work on your laptop SATA II speed.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  • Update of RAM and hard drive for Compaq 6710 b

    Hey guys,.

    I had Compaq 6710 b and I'll update my Ram and HARD drive on it with these (link here)

    On the system view, it says memory: 1.99 Gb and the Crucial site gives these details:

    Maximum memory: 4 GB
    Slots: 2

    But I looked under the hood of the ram and only thing I saw was a simple location with stick of 1 GB (below Sorry for bad quality and light photos)

    http://i.imgur.com/F0MKO.jpg

    http://i.imgur.com/VgNGy.jpg

    http://i.imgur.com/0TCci.jpg

    So then it just a single cell phone location? And I can buy a 1 x 4 GB DDR2 ram stick?

    Thank you

  • SL 410 Upgrade ram and hard drive

    Hi all

    I have been using the 410-2842-rk1 model Lenovo thinkpad SL for a year and a half.

    No problems until now

    I want to upgrade the RAM and hard drive of this machine.

    At the time of purchase, I had seen that I could improve up to 1 TB of hard drive.

    Please guide me if I can or not.

    About the RAm too, I need assistance (maximum limit I can update)

    Thanks in advance...

    You can switch to a 1 TB HDD providing it will fit physically. They are more hard are 9.5 mm thick but some hard drives of 1 TB are 12.5 mm thick. If you get a 9.5 mm HARD drive then it will work. Readers of 12.5 mm is too thick to fit.

    Regarding the RAM, you can install up to 8 GB of RAM, which is 2 x 4 GB.

  • A1103 new Ram and HARD drive will not start

    Hello.

    I have a Mac mini A1103. When I got there the folder flashing with question mark. I got a macbook earlier where this problem was solved by installing a new hard drive. so I ordered a new 160 GB IDE 2.5 "5400 RPM and 1 GB Corsair Valueselect DDR1 333 MHz hoping that this will help me get the mini running and preforming a little better with 512 MB of Ram.

    When I boot the mini after swapping ram and hard drive I always see the same flashing folder. I can reset the NVRAM Boot, enter diskmode target? (I think) and the Boot Manager.

    When I enter the Boot Manager I can see the following screen

    a few times I get to this screen for Open Firmware screen where I can use certain commands such as vram-reset reset-all rebot and so, but sometimes I'm just stuck on this screen.

    Anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong and what I can try next? I do not have the boot original dvd but I have a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original) but I can't get botting from any of the devices.

    A Mac Mini A1103 has a G4 Power PC processor and cannot be greater than 10.5.8. Superior OSX versions require an Intel processor.

    In this statement "a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original)" I think you mean OSX, not of iOS. You must obtain a copy of the original installation disc which was 10.3 or 10.4 or disk to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 full retail. Coverall A1103 all three 2005 models of the Mac Mini G4.

    You cannot use a grey disc unless it was delivered with your specific Mac.  Native gray disc with Macs and can not e used on the other model of disc.

    You can probably call Apple and order a copy of the original disks

    Thank you

    Hello

    RAM and hard drive (HDD) are two different things. Your machine has 6 GB of RAM, which means it has 2 sticks, and 1 TB of HDD (1 unit). His record:

    And at the back of the laptop, there is a cover that is fixed with a screw.

    The motherboard supports Sata III: D.

    No, the mandate must still be valid.
    There is a removable cover at the bottom of the unit as shown here:

  • Satellite A50: Question about type RAM and HARD drive

    Anyone out there who would try to open their laptop Toshiba Satellite A50, what type of RAM and hard disk of brand you all have inside?
    All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

    Here is all the information I found.

  • Pavilion zv5000 - IDE adapter for HARD drive?

    I have a Pavilion zv5000 series portable whose hard drive died several years ago. My father sent him to a work friend, who understood that it was the HARD drive, and I guess that he threw the car with an adapter with it. I got an IDE drive, foolishly, assuming that the pins on the drive just fit into the connector on the laptop itself. After a lot of confusion as to why the player wouldn't be good, a research showed a card equipped with a regular at one end IDE connector and a connector similar to that on the laptop on the other. I ask if it is true that I need one, even if I do not otherwise so that it connects.

    Also, nines are isolated from the main pins on the drive. The old connector Molex had also four pins. These are the power pins, and the adapter address these too? It doesn't seem to be any other connector on the laptop. Once again, I want to just confirm this and no I have to not just buy the wrong thing for this laptop.

    Therefore the adapter that I'm looking for?

    Yes, I used to own a zv5000 and I can confirm there was a plastic connector black who went on the IDE brass pins on the hard drive to allow the connection to the motherboard.

    Hello.

    I think you can install the drive and use your recovery disk to reinstall Windows.

    You can change the hard drive of your computer with a WD one Pavilion, just keep in mind that you need a 2.5 inch drive. In addition, if your Pavilion model is dv6500 or more, it has a SATA-II interface, but you can always take a drive SATA-III and it will not work (although will run at the lower speed of SATA-II).

    Here, you want to take a look at all our 2.5-inch drives:

  • Satellite A60-131: Question about upgrade RAM and HARD drive

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 S-131, bought 2 years ago.
    I want to know is it possible for me to upgrade (internal) for a superior ability to HDD 40 GB HARD drive and update my RAM to 512 MB on the rise.

    Also I already inserted a 256 MB DDR RAM in the empty memory slot almost 1 year ago.

    Help will be appreciated.

    Hi Pranjal,

    You can definitley upgrade your hard drive for a larger version. You should find that a 80 or 100 GB will work fine. You should make sure that you get you a new disc with the same physical characteristics as you existing. The following link will help you remove the hard drive.
    http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm

    You can also get a new hard drive with a more rapid rotation speed (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM).

    I think that the maximum RAM for the A60 is 1.25 GB which includes 1 X fixed module (I presume yours is 256 MB, which means that you can install an additional module with a capacity up to 1 GB. Available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM modules.
