• Pavilion A4316F Desktop with M2N78-(Violet6) card mother CPU Upgrade

  I looked at the HP Site before making the CPU to upgrade to purchase (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01925562) my office.  I bought an AMD Phenom II x 4 processor clocked at 3.4 Ghz.  When I installed the CPU and try to start, I have a unknown, computer processor stop error.  From what I can tell on the HP site, this processor should work with this motherboard.  Any suggestions?

  Please provide the role other than whole or number of the plateau of the AMD processor for our review. Only 3.4 Ghz AMD Phenom II x 4 processors I know are the 125 watts Note: AMD Phenom II x 4 965 Black Edition and the140 watts Note: AMD Phenom II x 4 965 Black Edition. None of these processors are compatible with the Violet6 motherboard in your system. The card mother Violet6 is intended to be used with processors up to 95 watts. In addition, "Black Edition" CPUs have discovered clock multipliers to be used in overclocking, but does not support the Violet6 overclocking motherboard.

  Please consider these 95 watt AMD AM3 processors except CPU 'Phenom II X 6' and processors ' B #

• the upgrade card mother DM3-Pavilion

  Hello

  My 4 year Pavilion dm3, recently died on me. It's a little elegant machine, I wanted to wear around and who was always OK for occasional daily tasks. For these reasons and others, I would at least try to replace the defective motherboard and revive.

  The model I bought is a dm3-1003tx exotic model (bought in Thailand, especially with a keyboard QWERTY/thai), with Intel SU7300 and discrete nVidia GeForce G 105 M graphics chip.

  Given that the original motherboard is not easy to find (PN 584079-001, only a couple of bids on ebay of the Japan), can someone tell me:

  -If it's OK to replace it with an another based SU7300 of motherboard (can be with or without the nvidia chip - I really don't need it).

  -or even better upgrade to a motherboard of SP9300 based to get a performance gain? If so, should I expect any change (it looks that the consumption of energy and the frequency of the buses are higher with the SP9300 then maybe RAM...?)

  Is there any tool available around compatible HP part numbers?

  Thank you

  No, there is not a matrix of cross, useful reference because it would be. I think that HP is simply too many different models and parts for someone to keep track of it all. HP Service is inspired by replacement with the same part number so their internal service people wouldn't even have much use for such a thing, just us end users.

  Motherboards have the processor soldered to the and there is only a single part number for the fan/radiator Intel stated so I would say that if you replace your motherboard with it:

  580663 001

  with the SP9300, you'll be able to reuse your fan/radiator. In the case where you don't have it here is the repair:

  Manual

  All models use the DDR2-800 memory and accept up to 8 GB. Different motherboards all seem to have the same ports and such and will have the same anchor points. You could even theoretically install a card mother AMD-based, but this would require to reinstall an operating system, and I wouldn't trade an Intel processor for an AMD processor in any case unless AMD have been much cheaper. A Committee from AMD would also require a different radiator, however.

  You can buy the SP9300 motherboard for $45 shipped on eBay:

  The same seller also has the SU7300 for a few dollars less:

  I bought a little of this seller and it looks like they have a lot of them on the spot so must have dismantled a certain dm3s. Maybe if you call them they can steer you in a way or another based on real practical experience. I confess that I have the opportunity to work on this exact model.

• Dell desktop computer just ran scan & system - failure of the card mother how fix this?

  Hi, I have a Dell desktop computer that came with an Epson printer & all the other necessary things: keyboard, mouse, speakers, & flat screen.  I bought it in 2009.  I'm on social security, so I can't afford to buy a warranty with Dell, which missed.  My system works fine.  Dell offers, free of charge, a scan to check the memory card mother and other issues.  I do the scan every month.   It was record past in all categories.

  However, I just did a scan on July 6, 2013 and the analysis of response of the system said failure in red.  Then he said: 'mother' I know refers to the hard drive.  I am over 65 and fairly low tech & live alone.  However, I am pretty savvy, computer or as much as I can be.

  I checked the help MSN menu, but could not follow him.  This is why I post my question on the MSN Community forum, which helped me with other problems in the past.  I have also just posted on the Dell forums.  I have MSN as my homepage & use IE 9, it works best for me.  The only email I have is on AOL and I've been there for years without any problem.

  I have Verizon FIOS; If I can't get an idea of how this problem on the forums (in fact, I prefer MSN forums) I'll call them.  They offer free advice by telephone.  If necessary, they will come to my apartment to check my system & require a rate SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the Geek Squad.

  However, I did not do anything to the system.  I have update printer drivers, since the printer has suddenly stopped working when I replaced the cartridges.  I don't think that this should be a problem.  I replaced the cartridges before.  I have an Epson Stylus NX110 printer/scanner/copier & called Epson, they SUCK.  The printer comes with the computer.  I have installed new drivers & the printer works fine.  I do not have a wireless system, & I don't have a digital camera.  The only other conflict can be I have two Microsoft Security Essentials AND free AVG downloaded as my anti-virus, anti-spyware.

  I know that the new drivers, I installed the printer were great, it was an update of Epson which I figured out.  I as well need the computer & printer. I am disabled & only at home much & this is my link with the outside world.  I do a little writing & letters print & printing (Yes, postal mail) to friends & also letters to additional government assistance of my State & County.  I appreciate all the advice and I'm sorry it's so long.

  One last thing: I keep getting pop-ups from this survey company called five votes.  I have tried everything to remove them, but they reappear.  I do not take surveys & I get rid of pop-ups.  I have my Blocker on MSN and AOL.  Could these pop-ups have corrupted my hard drive? I've been doing them for months, it is very likely.

  First of all - the 'motherboard' does not mean 'hard drive '.  This means that the "mother".  :-)  The drive is the storage processors is the brain and everything connects through... the "mother".

    
  Second - why sweep you all the months?  Unless you are having a problem - well - I suggest you not to do so.  Heck - you may see a false positive.  Do you have any indication that you have a hardware failure?
    
  Here's what I suggest:
  (1) stop the execution of this "free scan of Dell.
  (2) ensure that the drivers of motherboard, video card, network device and peripheral chipset audio are later you can get - on the Dell site for your specific Service and operating system combination label (drivers and downloads section, use your service number and put in the operating system you are using.)
  (3) never use Geek Squad.
  (4) what is the "MSN Help Menu?
  (5) choose AN antivirus software - two is misguided and may cause problems.
  (6) run some scans of malware with the details, I will give you right after that...
    

  Regarding AntiVirus - free are very good: Avira, AVG, Avast, UnThreat

  You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

  Search for malware:

  Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

  • MalwareBytes (FREE)
  • SuperAntiSpyware (FREE)

  Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

  Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.

  Reset.

  The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:
  

  Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

  You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory. This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

• The card mother MS-7184 (AmethystM) in my old HP PC takes in AHCI mode?

  First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my post!

  I recently bought an OCZ Aligity 4 256 GB SSD drive. I want to use the SSD as drive replacing the original hard drive in my old HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7334n desktop PC. Here is the link to my pc:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&product=1821850

  I know that the motherboard identified on the Web site above for this model of PC is A8AE-(AmberineM), but the motherboard I have is MS-7184 (AmethystM), the specifications of the motherboard is here:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00378480

  I updated the BIOS with the latest version (3.47, 03/03/2006) I can found on the HP website. In the BIOS, I can't find any info on the AHCI support. My questions are:

  1 - is the card mother MS-7184 (AmethystM) in my old HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7334n Desktop PC support AHCI mode?

  2. how to configure CMOS when I use the SSD as my main drive on the old HP computer?

  Note Please that I have aleady copy drive hard whole orginal on the new SSD and I started my computer on the new SSD. This works. I have another post questions on the recovery of the system on the SSD, the post is here:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-operating-systems-e-g/system-recovery-doesn-t-work-on-cloned-SS...

  Thank you!

  You are the very welcome.

  I leave these settings at their default values.

  You have the SSD connected to sata port, and it must operate to the maximum 150 Mbps transfer speed, 133 or 100 no matter what readings are displayed, as would an IDE drive.

  The problem is that since there is no AHCI setting, the drive cannot enjoy the native command files or TOPPING.

  Aside from that, an SSD should be better that a standard SATA I mechanical drive or IDE hard drive.

  Even subjectively, you should 'see' a difference in sensitivity of disc, not you?

  Improved time, faster startup time for research, for example.

• Problem of card mother-suggestions

  I have a Desktop Pavilion p6310y and I lost my second mother. He has a Paragon M2N78 - motherboard and said that it is the only one that can be used on this computer. Does anyone know if there is another motherboard that can be used on this computer? It has a processor AMD 2.8 ghz and 6 GB of ram. I really want to buy a new computer, I just want to see if it can be resolved.

  For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

  Bob

  Bob,

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p6310y and its card mother M2N78-(Violet6). Please note that this model uses the 'VIOLET6' of the M2N78 - motherboard version and not several different version called M2N78 - LA. This model came from the factory with an AMD AM3 Athlon II X 4 630 and 6 GB memory DDR3.

  While you can replace the motherboard with a new one, Windows will become "not authentic" and you will need to purchase a new copy of Windows. Other problems that may arise,... include your recovery discs HP will no longer works, back plate I/O may not match, mounting motherboard can not align the studs, etc.. When installing a new copy of Windows, you will lose all 'value-added' original HP supplied with your computer software.

  If you're OK with every possible question of a motherboard out of factory usage, consider these cards mothers AMD AM3 + who is responsible for your AM3 Athlon II X 4 630 CPU and DDR3 memory.

• Can I switch to an Intel Pentium D 945 on a card mother Napa-GL8E?

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion a6403w with an Intel Dual - Core processor E2160 (1.8 GHz) on a card mother Napa-GL8E. I would like to know if it is possible to switch to an Intel Pentium D 945 (3.4 GHz) on this motherboard. Before that everyone goes to the top and say no, I read a few post image Core 2 s running on this motherboard. And if an Intel Pentium D 945 would not work, what else would be a good upgrade for my PC? Thank you.

  (Edit: Opps, I posted this in the wrong forum.)

  Computer a6403w and Napa-GL8E pages care about motherboard;

  Type of socket: 775
  Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades
  Intel Core 2 Duo (Wolfsdale) E8xxx
  Core 2 Duo E6xxx until E6850 (Conroe)
  Pentium (Conroe) E2xxx series with Dual Core E2160 technology
  Core 2 Duo E4xxx (Conroe)
  Celeron 4xx series (Conroe) until Celeron 450

  Based on this information, the Pentium D 945 only is not supported on this platform. Referring to your "multiple posts reading" on quad-core Core 2 on the Napa, the information relates mainly to non - OEM versions (read no HP) of the Board of Directors. Sumsolstice mentions the internal docs showing micocode updated but does not purely and simply that it will work. The best processor would probably be the Core 2 Duo (Wolfsdale) E8xxx series.

  I have a HP Envy 23 d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB (pegatron) IPISB-NK.  It has a PCI slot available for upgrade of the video.  I want to do this.  I intend to use the pc for video processing and maybe a few games.

  How to pass the video?

  What cards are best for this system?

  What has changed in the BIOS or other settings I should do?  How can I get them?

  Thank you

  Art

  The PCIe MXM slot is for HP install graphics cards in some models CTO (configure-to-order). Without the card installed when you purchased the computer, there the fan and radiator bad sets. You will need to buy a graphics card and the heatsink / fan of HP to try to upgrade the GPU in your computer. There is an extensive disassembly involved in this procedure. All-in-One computers have much more in common with laptops than they do with traditional desktop computers.

  Honestly, if you want to do video processing and games... you should get a traditional desktop with enough CPU and GPU for these activities.

• I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion went well, I restarted the computer, I get a blue screen and the computer restarts

  I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?

  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.

  Kind regards

• Compatibility card mother HP/Phenom 960 t

  I have a HP P7 1054, Alvorix H-RS880-card mother Μatx, rated at 95W max (oops on the purchase of a Phenom 965BE).  The motherboard is compatible "9xx" and Phenom 4 x 3.0 ghz 960 t is assessed to 95W.  Will this motherboard support unblock this CPU to present itself as a 6-core, it is strong?  I heard some motherboards do, some don't.  Moreover, the fact that this CPU is 3.4 ghz "turbo" (T) affect compatibility it is, as it technically isn't just a 9xx, this is a 9xxT.  I am currently very literal, it should work if I buy it. Add cache L3 of the Phenom my Anthlon 3.1 stock vs ghz 4 x 645 is primary, without renouncing a clock speed.  Looks like a good 95W replacing the 965BE, also 3.4 ghz but 125W

  I decided to just give up the illegitimate child of 970T and get a Phenom X 6 1045T, I know works, 95W, has 6 hearts, of course, has the L3 I want, 50% L2 more than my 4 X and will run at 3.2 Ghz Turbo when 3 or more cores is closed. For $99 at my local Microcenter, it's worth on my Athlon X 4 645 3.1 Ghz.  Without risk, HP even built desktop computers with this CPU on my exact Board.  The computer is much faster than me in any case using Solidworks.  Now if I can just sell my 125W Phenom X 4 965BE with zero minute on it...

  Thanks for me direction away from what would have been a dead end...

• update the bios card mother MCP61PM-HM (nettle3) m9400f

  I want to update the bios on my 5.17 m9400f desktop pc to the latest version (5.29?).  The motherboard is MCP61PM-HM (Nettle3).

  When I go to the support page for the m9400f (here) , it shows an update of 5.29 bios for the motherboard2P61PM-HM M even if there is no indication that the m9400f never actually used a such m/b.  There is no updated BIOS shown for the MCP61PM-HM I.

  Naturally, I'm very concerned about try it to Flash the bios with the wrong firmware.  This could be catastrophic.

  Someone at - it the words of wisdom on how to proceed?

  Thank you very much.

  With the help of generous and helpful to sumsolstice, it was determined that the 5.29 bios update should work with my card mother MCP61PM-HM (nettle3).

  Friday night, I flashed the bios with update 5.29 (sp44500.exe) and, although it has less than 2 days, which seems to work very well.  I do not know if this bios update solved the problem of sleep/wake, I had.  I'll know more conclusive than the days and weeks go by.

  For those of you who might be comtemplating this update, I notice a slightly different sleep with the 5.29 sequence.  I have 2 HD discs and a DVD player in the pc m9400f.  With the 5.17 bios when pc went into sleep, all disks have been disabled relatively simultaneously.  With 5.29 bios, now the DVD player and the other HD drives are turned off as before, but the second disc of HD does not close until 5-10 seconds later (listen to the click of the heads HD parking).  It isn't really a problem, a bit of an oddity.  I do not know which of the 2 drives HD stopped last; I'm not curious enough to open the pc case to find out because it does not seem to affect anything either.

  A big thank you to all those who were interested in this forum announcement and helped to guide me through this: Big_Dave, Hanspuppa and especially sumsolstice.
