HP Touchsmart 300 turns on itself

• I have a TouchSmart 300-1007 that performs a hard block after about 30 minutes to be turned.

  I have a TouchSmart 300-1007 that performs a hard block after about 30 minutes to be turned.

  Windows 7 Home Edition, the stock machine, even if it does even if I start in diagnostics (F9 at the start of the BIOS), so I doubt it has nothing to do with the operating system.

  By "hard block", I mean the screen goes black, the wireless keyboard is not flashing blue light on the USB FOB and the power button only turns off although it by hand for 30 seconds. I have to pull the power cord to turn it off.

  It started shortly after the application of the 5.12 version 2A8E update motherboard BIOS published 2011-03-24. Never should have done that; experience shows that I have more problems than improving when updatng BIOS' are.

  No heat problem (air vents are clean as a whistle). I suppose the best thing would be to restore the BIOS but I don't know if it is possible, or how to do it.

  This is my daily workstation and is now effectively a boat anchor / deadline / brick.

  Any ideas?

  Yay for me. My dose of GENIUS has had this problem for THREE DAYS running machine now without any problem whatsoever.

  It it CERTAINLY evil genius of this machine, no doubt.

  Other victims of the Touchsmart series should regroup and get some kind of compensation. I know that I had to buy a new computer to replace this one when it stopped working, and I spent a TON of time to solve the problem (it would be an easy solution to the factory; not so easy at home)

• 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:

  Welcome to HP forum. Sorry you hit hard by malware / virus. The reason I say this is because if Windows are not authentic. This is not the message, that you would see period that yours is false. 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: 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.

  I have a TouchSmart 300 and you want to sell and if you need to restore it to factory settings and do a thorough cleaning of the memory of the passwords, data personal, etc. The problem is I do not remember how I've implemented the pc originally, i.e. If I just turned on it and it is good to go or if I had install disks and can not find.

  How could I go to achieve this goal, so I can sell it with confidence that all my data has been erased?

• TouchSmart 300-1125 (Jesse APP78-CF) do not start BIOS

  Hello

  I have a HP touchsmart 300-1125 with windows 7 64 bit, version of the motherboard is APP78-CF Jesse.  I can't even start the BIOS!  Can someone help with this at all?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You say that you can not boot to BIOS, but are you able to get into windows or not?

  Your text, I think you have more problems then the startup in the BIOS, surely you can not even go to windows, I'm wrong?

  If this is the case, if you turn on the device and you have a black screen, you probably have a problem with the mother/CPU board, and they could be replaced.

  If you have knowledge or someone who can help, you can do a power reset first, remove the AC adapter and press and hold the power button down for 30 seconds, then try to connect to the device.

  If this is not enough, make a memory reset, remove the memory module, insert it on an empty slot and try to start the machine, if nothing happens, try to start unity wihtout the memory and see if you beep codes.

  If this is not enough, one thing you could try would be a reset of the CPU, but that one is a process more complex.

  Give me more deails, and we'll see what it is, so to provide more details and confirm if I'm right about your problem, if not, provide more details and we can check if the steps that I have proposed, can be applied by you.

  Thank you

• 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.

• 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

• How to level the TouchSmart software to version 4 on TouchSmart 300

  I'm on the TouchSmart 300-1020 (product # NY536AA-ABA) running Windows 7 (64 bit) with 4 GB of memory. I want to upgrade the software TouchSmart 3 to 4 TouchSmart. All support for this links are dead.

  Can you help me? My son with autism & other disabilities using TouchSmart - mainly the application of the Web software for the Visual schedule. The upgrade would help us improve the schedule by making it more interactive.

  Thanks in advance!

  Most of the touchsmart features & updates to level is closed now. Check out the link which explains the use of the Touchsmart 4.0:

• Satellite C855-1UU close problem, notebook turn on itself

  Hi all,

  I hope someone can help, I need to know what to do. I bought this laptop C855-1UU Satellite two days ago, and I'm afraid she has certain shortcomings.

  Everything works fine, except that I have problem when I power the laptop off. I use Linux OS (tried with Sabayon and now on Manjaro, I wanted to just check is this OS or hardware problem).

  It is:
  When power off the computer laptop (with icon or via the console command), phone off... then turns stays off for about 5-10 seconds and then switch on by itself without any reason!
  I tried to determine what could be the possible reason, and I found that occurs only when the battery charger is connected. Tried it with the battery removed, with loading the BIOS default values, nothing changes... always turn on itself.
  When unplug charger laptop battery and try to power off the computer, it works.

  Any suggestion, idea or advise what to do?

  Thanks in advance!
