HP Touchsmart 520-1030 - additional memory installation

I am trying to install extra memory on my HP Touchsmart. I was told when buying this PC I could simply take the back off and put in a stick more than 4 GB of DDR3 RAM that this model has 2 slots, of which only 1 is currently used? I don't see where the memory going!

Can anyone help please?

Thank you

    Hello again ScreenNameHere,

    Thank you for responding to my message asking for additional information. The only way I can see to connect your HP TouchSmart 520-1030 Desktop PC would be the use of a USB HDMI adapter. I am also including the IDT High Definition Audio Driver Update for your computer, the USB connection will not have the same sound quality and you want to make sure that you have up-to-date drivers to get the best sound, you can leave the connection.

  • HP TouchSmart 520-1030: recovery of the disks are no longer available from the HP Support

    I am trying to help a friend who's HP TouchSmart 520-1030 hard disk is dead.  I have the HP support site, fill out forms to buy 5 DVD System Recovery Disk Set Kit for this system. He even asked for my credit card information. Only after that I entered all this information, the system told me that the recovery kit was no longer available for this system. I tried to download a Windows 7 from Microsoft, but because the key of Windows 7 has been an OEM key, they told me I'd get from HP. I called HP support and they said that they could not get the kit. I asked them if I bought a new copy of Windows 7, the drivers would be available at HP. The phone technology said he didn't know. I asked him if he could tell me how I could know, he says 'No, good night' and hung up. I was not rude or anything. Very professional, in my opinion. In any case, I'm stuck. I know that my friend should have the recovery disks, but it didn't. Does this mean that he should throw a 3 year, $750 all-n-one computer? Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    If HP does no more, it is available here:

  • Additional memory installation

    Hello

    Can I install 2 x 4 GB memory cards in the slots at the bottom of my iMac 2011 environment while keeping the cards of 2 GB in the top slots?

    either they are correct pair configurations (side by side)?

    There is no mention that slot machines are the pairs. Normally we would identical memory cards in slots 1, 3, and another identical 2.4 slots.

    Does anyone have an idea of this to get the best out the higher level maps?

    Thanks a bunch

    OK I think I can have answered it for me.

    According to the about this Mac and report/memory system , it displays 4 benches of 0.1, 0, 1.

    So I guess that 2 identical cards placed in Bank 0 , and the other 2 in Bank 1.

    If anyone thinks that this is not correct please feel free to let me know :)

    See you soon

  • Additional memory installation on a Satellite 3000

    I'm unable to install memory on a Satellite 3000 - X 11.

    It was suggested that I need to update the bios, so ia´ve donwloaded Bios 1.60.
    When I try to reboot it tells me "This is not the right update for my system"
    But it's the update is recommended.

    Hello

    I put t know why you can not upgrade the BIOS BUT usually the BIOS update is not necessary if you want to upgrade the memory on your laptop
    I think that if you use the memory modules right everything should work properly

    Found a useful page that gives interesting information on upgrading memory on Sat 3000 - x 11
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=14194&ft=m&St=3

    So according to this page, you should use modules SODIMM PC133 144 pins and you can upgrade the memory to 512 MB max

  • HP Touchsmart 520-1020 PC: installation of operating system/recovery on the new HARD disk media?

    Hello everyone!

    I recently bought and installed a new hard drive on my Touchsmart 520-1020 after that started to spoil. Given that I don't return to the top of my media and the model was old enough, I had to buy a whole new pack of system directly from HP recovery disks. I tried to install them several times, but each time that the process of recovery achieved 39% the disk #2 (in 4 total) that breaks down just, and a message appears saying that there is an error 0xe0ef000e. I thought it might be produced because the hard drive is not compatible, but the hard drive is reading for diagnostic tests, so is not the problem. HP support suggested that the problem could be with the discs, but I bought it on the official HP website to make them new. Please let me know what you think the problem might be. Thank you for your time.

    More than likely disk 2 is bad, call HP for a replacement set.

  • TouchSmart 520 TV tuner stopped working

    I have a 1190EA Touchsmart 520. I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 to 8.1 Windows and now the TV tuner stopped working. I've already used Windows Media Center to watch TV. I ran install MCE and windows MCE is unable to find all channels. My TV card is an Avermedia A859.

    I tried everything to fix the problem without success. I suspect that the card is is most recognized in the PC and have tried to find a driver windows 7 or 8 for the card A859. I was not able to locate a driver from the sites, including the Avermedia and HP. The only thing I could find is on the HP site where there is a patch TV card 'channel search fix' for Windows 7. I tried running it, but it returns a "HP not compatitibility" error message during the installation.

    I also tried to install other programs of TV tuner (no windows MCE) to see if these would work. These don't work and I think that they are not detect any signal. Yet once this leads me to think that the TV card needs a driver.

    If anyone can help here it would be really appreciated.

    Hey X 1199,.



    Tuner TV being not able to find any signal / channels, since the upgrade to Windows 8.1. After checking the HP Software and Driver download page, it takes up to 8 windows are supported. I've included the document 'what happens if I do not see my operating system?'. He will inform you of the various options you have.



    Now since you have tried to get the drivers from the manufacturer and 3 third-party sites and are still unable to get the job of TV tuner. You have options, restore your computer to the previous version. Or wait for the pilots to become available. I've included the document "performing a recovery of HP (Windows 8) system."



    Kind regards.

    Ralink stock on my Touchsmart 320-1030 all-in-One wifi card constantly abandons the wireless connection, and I would like to replace it with another card.

    Does anyone know if BIOS 320 uses "white list", in which case you can only install certain wi - fi cards? I know that HP laptops are notoious for this, but I'm not sure of their all-in-one.

    You should be able to replace the card wireless without any problem.  Before you do that, though, here's a guide that can help you solve your problem.

  • TouchSmart 520: The computer is stuck on the opening of the screens.

    Hi all

    It will be a little long because I try to give as much detail as possible. I have a desktop HP Touchsmart 520. The other day, I want to run an OS based on Linux from a USB key. I did once before, so I did what I did the last time. I unplugged, take off the back, then removed the hard drive, then plugged the USB key. I was hoping that since I didn't drive hard in, the computer would then operate the stick because of the boot order. He did bring up the screen of the OS, but gave me an error on failure. I turned it off and then return and go to the bios to change the configuration. I found the USB from the menu, but couldn't move, so I tried to disable the first option for the hard drive. I plugged the USB back in, but it does not still work, so I tried to drive hard back. Something happened somewhere in all this, the computer froze, so I tried to hit different buttons to see if I could get an answer, but nothing, so I cut. When I cut back on, I can't no longer to enter the BIOS. The usual HP screen comes up and says press ESC to enter on the start menu, and if I hit him in the first second coming he will take me to a black screen that has my computer on this subject record, starting with the processor type, processor speed, etc. (if I hit any button in a moment the computer hangs on the HP screen). This black screen is as far as I can go and the computer always crashes here, no matter what button I push, but it is said in the lower right corner of the activity for any button I pressed on, for example if I press F2 on the HP screen, it will go to the black screen with my characteristics and in the lower right It will read Diagnostics; If I am pressing F10, it will do as above but read the configuration. He never goes beyond this screen. I know that's not my hard drive, because he wasn't in when it started happening, nor is it possible that a virus has been on the USB port, as it's a BONE checked and I do not use this stick for something else. I know that something happened when I was in the BIOS, but I don't know how to fix it. Nobody knows what is happening or what I can do to try to fix it? It would be very appreciated that I can't afford to take it in, and I don't think it's a bad thing in the first place, I don't know what I'm doing. Thanks to you all!

    Hello

    seems that there is a corruption of the bios. First try to make BIOS clear CMOS. He must go, unplug the power supply, open it on the back and to remove the RTC (real time clock) battery for a couple miutes and then turn the unit and go to the bios and load bios defaults. As a guide to go and use the services for your product guide. You specify exactly which model you have (model number or product number), but look on hp.com for service guide: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03357415 for more details.

    Note that this operation to be experienced user but you wrote that you have disconnected the HARD drive, you have already opened the unit if you wait is at the level to do so.

    If the RTC cmos clear won't help, report back and we will help you make bios flash BACK.
