• HP TouchSmart 300-1120: the video card upgrade

  I came into possession of a HP Touchsmart 300-1120. I do not use not for the games just the navigation and use to watch movies when traveling through Plex home theater.

  I've updated the CPU to an Athlon X 4 605th & maxed out the RAM 8 GB. I noticed that I can upgrade the video card using the Mobile PCI Express Module slot.  Even though I know that the GPU Radeon HD 3200 onboard can handle HD videos, he hangs out considerably. even though I have the film on the hard drive.

  So the question is, where can find one of these cards. And is there a way to upgrade the PSU?

  Thank you

  Your PC AIO has a sleeve of MXM graphics.  The following video card will work. It was included in some models of PC.

  HP 594505-001 nVidia GeForce G210 512 MB MXM DDR3 video card

  You need to search online to find a seller or a person who has one for sale. I see them on eBay for @ $35-50, 00

  The upgrade of the PSU is not a viable option.

• My UK Touchsmart 300 will work in the United States?

  I bought my Touchsmart 300 at the United Kingdom 2 years ago.  Now, I'm moving back to the United States and bring it with me.   I have an adapter for it and if so, what kind?

  Ed,

  Yes, I meant the laptop as power supply. However, since it has an internal power supply, please provide the full name of the HP model and/or the name of the product to the computer in question. I'm trying to determine if the power supply is auto-allant 100 to 240 volts as laptop power supplies are.

  Information of a product number: VG255AA / name of the model: HP TOUCHSMART 300-1025UK indicates that the internal power supply looks like;

  This picture shows clearly... of 100-240 v, while the first image does not display a red switch. This should indicate that the power is automatic. Now, if your computer uses the same power supply... you can be good to go, just using a computer 110V US cable.

• HP Touchsmart 300-1020 system restore

  Hello, I have a PC HP Touchsmart 300.  I recently sent in for repair and it works very well for a few months.  They replaced the motherboard and the hard disk.  My brother somehow got some malware on the PC so I decided to do a system restore on it.  Whenever I do a restoration of one of the discs of recovery or the recovery partition, it gives me an error saying: Recovery Manager cannot restore your computer by using the image with.  Please contact HP support.  Error code: 0xe0ef0003.  What can I do to solve this problem and to restore?

  Hello

  I don't think your recovery partition can be damaged and the only option for you is to order the Kit of the RRS from HP in order to restore your windows to original state.

  You are still able to get into windows? If so, try to create the RRS Kit, if you can't, try to order the Kit by using the information that I posted below.

  Read this before ordering your recovery discs! (United States and Canada only)

• TouchSmart 300: Windows 10 no sound

  Hello

  I have upgraded to windows 7 to 10 and have now no sound. I tried to update the audio driver which is updated but still no sound. ideas please

  Isca13

  Without your specific model number, I can't check for your PC, but I checked several Touchsmart 300 models and the problem is that your driver is NOT updated - and cannot be updated.  Why? Because HP does not provide the Win10 for the Touchsmart 300 pilots.

  If you follow the instructions in the thread and post your detailed model number, I can check for your model: find your model of HP product number. HP® customer support

  But fundamentally, the problem that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 driver for your laptop.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  Here are a few alternatives to pilot, you can continue...
  
  You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139
  
  You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/
  
  If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293
  
  If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter
  
  Good luck

• HP TouchSmart 300 connection issues

  Hi, I have a HP TouchSmart 300 with Windows 7 Edition Home Premium that I bought in 2008. Yesterday morning it was working completely fine. The end of the night when I turned it on again, it took a while to start and join the log on screen. I was thinking just leave it off overnight and turn it on the next morning to see if that would help. I turned it on this morning and it took awhile to get to the log on screen, but he got there. Once I logged it took awhile to open a session and he stayed right on the Welcome screen indicating the loading circle. When he connected, the screen was black. Works and move the cursor, but everything else was black. I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del and the usual options screen appeared. I clicked on log off. I then logged back in and it started to load for awhile then all returned to the login screen. I connected again and again the black screen with the cursor to work. So I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del again and cliked start the Task Manager and it returned to the black screen. After 10 minutes to leave her like that the Task Manager appears but the rest of the screen is always black. I know 5 years will be a great run by a computer these days, but I just want to know if I could still save and continue to use it.
  
  Does anyone have an idea of what might happen and how I could solve this problem?
  This happened to someone else?

  Hello Mindy123:

The real message in a white box appears on a sreen desktop windows open up on the right. He'll tell you please provide Microsoft with contact phone number.

  There are three things you can do. 1 is try the safe mode method. Turn your computer off tension, then restart it tap f-8 keys use arrow keys select Safe mode with network. You can try to remove it by low loading verson of the trialhttp://www.malwarebytes.org/ malwarebytes scanner once he has finished and deleted everything. You can see if your computer starts normal now or if you like you can also try running a free virus scan check as well. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/  If no analysis removes the virus/malware. Your computer still is not booting properly then it in 2 safe mode this time you now open up HP Recovery Manager and perform a Microsoft System Restore. Go to all kind of research programs in the HP Recovery Manager open it select the Microsoft System Restore, click Next until you get to the dates that you select a date as far as you can. It can perform the recovery. Once, he completed see if your computer starts normal now. Sometimes this method whipes on the virus / malware.

• TouchSmart 300 Windows 7, re - install on hard drive replacement problem. Help!

  I have official restore for my Touchsmart 300 disks and try to get it back on a hard drive, which I took from another machine. Drive hard said have left include Win 7 and Win XP. When I try to boot from the recovery CD, I am taken to the old hard drive Artemision boot menu, not the installation of the recovery disc. If I continue on this path there, I get an error message and a suggestion from my hard drive is damaged. Repair disk option can fix anything. Recovery Console doesn't help either. Why the CD read and overwrite all the old stuff on the hard drive?

  It is a good idea.

  They can have tools or diagnostic we individuals have no which can isolate the cause.

  Hello dendriform:

  Of course it goes crashing, you can not install software for Windows 7 32 bit on a 64-bit operating computer you need to stick with Windows 7 64 bit software there is a big difference in OS OK. If you want to run the older version of the software on your 64-bit Windows 7 computer you can always but not all software work can you get grade Windows 7 home 64 bit for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and once that is downloaded will go to microsoft website and download windows xp mode. These computers are not 32-bit computers. That's your problem, and that's why it crashes. Back to Windows 7 home 64 bit software. As you cannot install software 64-bit on a 32-bit computer with a change of 3d parts of computer hard drives and cards that never need to change the.

• TouchSmart 300: CMOS battery

  My HP Touchsmart 300 resets the date of 2001, whenever it is turned on.  I googled the problem and the most likely solution is to replace the CMOS battery. Which panels at the back of the computer to access the battery and it is quite straightfoeward to replace?

  Thanks for your help.

  @banhien

  The RTC battery is actuallly pretty easy to replace in this model. All it takes is patience and organization to perform the task.

  You are right. A flat CMOS battery will cause the BIOS do not store the date and time system. It must be replaced by a new battery. You will need a CR2032 battery, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, Wal-Mart or an electronics store.

  The panels at the rear of the PC are quite simple to remove and replace. You will need to get to the motherboard to replace the RTC battery.

  See the video on the following document. See minute 05:20 where you can see the RTC battery.
