HP Z240 SFF workstation: Start problem

• Z240 SFF Workstation: Z240 SFF beep Code 3.3 (graphics)

  Greetings,

  We bought the Dells years but has recently begun to give HP a glance. The first unit I received just stopped working during testing of deployment and gives me 3 long beeps (red LED) with 3 short beeps (white LED). According to the manual, this translates, "the on-board controller exceeded waiting for BIOS return the initialization of graphics. I couldn't find the specific troubleshooting steps for this error I did what follows based on the tests that I did:

  -Cleared CMOS

  The system only would not start after that application of the BIOS settings using the Configuration BIOS HP utility so maybe something went wrong there. That said, I applied the settings with this tool several times before on the same system without problem, but thought it was worth a start. Here is my config file:

  BIOSConfig 1.0
  
  Legacy startup options
  
  	Disable
  
  	* Select
  
  Legacy boot order
  
  	HDD:USB:1
  
  	CDROM:SATA:1
  
  	HDD:SATA:1
  
  	NETWORK: SHIPPED: 1

  -Exchanged cards (Nvidia Quado K420) video with a known good card. We bought two units to test if I had an identical system to Exchange.

  -Shared memory.

  -Reinstall any cables.

  Any ideas on what I should try before you send it again?

  Last update 08/08: another IT unit in our Organization has reported the same beep code with one of the Z240s they just bought. For them, the BIOS has refused to save all the settings and could not start later.

  Last update 08/09:

  Another machine died today. Same case, technicians were simply trying to configure the BIOS settings. Another detail is that these have been shipped with BIOS version 01.24. I recommend our technicians that they update to version 01.27 for now, but the notes do not mention a specific fix for what we see. I hope someone from HP can jump in here soon...

  Product no.: L8T14AV

  For all those who could fall on this thread... I managed to reproduce the problem by going to Configuration of Boot Secure and uncheck the box 'Key activate MS UEFI CA'. After talking with the help of HP, it was determined that we should not be in contact with this option at all. This option is intended for graphics cards configured for backup device from Microsoft.

  In addition, there is a bug in the BIOS version 01.24 which prevents the Clear CMOS button to work correctly, so there is no recourse for a person who commits the mistake of setting the option above. HP will provide an update in revision 01.28 to stop people from shooting itself in the foot. It is recommended to update the systems at 01.27 for now.

  Finally, we do not have an answer to what happened to systems that could not save changes to BIOS and subsequently on faileed to start. I will update this thread if it becomes something more than an anomaly.

• Z240 SFF (V1Z87PA): Z240 SFF - caddy/insert for disk 3,5 '' HARD in

  Hi, I am wanting to install 2 x 3.5 "hard drives in my new Z240 SFF workstation.

  There is a Bay that already came with an insert and one of the new disks slots in this very well.

  "However she looks like some sort of insertion/caddy is necessary for the Bay external/internal' shared 3.5" ", because it is too big for the Hello.adb of the player to crack. It seems that this Bay is dimensioned for a kind of optical discs.

  I called HP and their parts of people here in Australia, but no one can find the part needed.

  Can you please help?

  HP use guides drive insulation elastomer for the sliding of the hard disks in slots in SFF desktop for some time, and adding these for the screw holes of 4 threaded area of a disk HARD caused the need for the metal, as they slide is wider than a 3.5 "drive by almost exactly 1/2 inch when you consider both sides.  If you go on eBay and look for 450712-001, you'll see a bunch of these.  Form factor 3.5 "hard drives still use #6-32 (coarse thread) UNC screws, and it is this than screw silver and blue, rubber vibration insulators are at HP.

  

  Hard drives 2.5 "SSD and optical drives use metric threaded screws M3 instead and HP Color screws for black ones.  Those who are much more difficult to find... Note the more fine metric thread that you can see at the bottom a:

  

  There is a HP kit that I fell that appears to fit your form factor 3.5 "/ exit Bay that is equipped with a receiver that accepts the scrolling images we can screw a 2.5 form factor" SATA HDD or SSD in.  This can be a great way to create backups to disable storage on site, or just to have removable storage.  I use Icy Dock a device like this, and HP has used the Icy Dock products too.  That's what I use, and it fits perfectly into the HP 3.5 "form factor disk Bay on the former positions of work and also fits the 5 HP, 25 - to-3, 5" form factor converters for the new HP workstations... HERE.

  http://www.ICYDOCK.com/goods.php?id=162 I guess you would still need 4 of these arrangements of cursor to do, too.  However, you can only really one large HARD drive storage there hidden behind the front plastic.

  Included with your Z240 SFF it may be #6-32 spare isolation player guides screwed into the metal frame hidden under the Panel front of the work station... HP stored spare parts there are other SFF workstations.  Take a peek...

• HP Z240 Tower workstation: HP Workstation TPM PPI Z240

  Hello. We will buy a lot of workstations HP Z240 tour from our supplier in the future and I got one to QA in our environment.

  We currently use HP BCU to make available and enable the TPM on our current systems of HP. We use version 4.0.13.1 of HPBCU. Today, I downloaded version 4.0.15.1 HPBCU to start to create a configuration file for the new workstations Z240.

  The problem I have is that the TPM PPI parameters (physical presence) cannot be found in the user UEFI/BIOS firmware interface. What we want to do, is remove the guest that would allow users to reject the changes. It is / was possible in previous incarnations of HPBCU on different models of desktop as a next parameter.

  Activation of embedded security policy
  F1 at startup
  Allow the user to reject
  * No prompt

  Unfortunately, this isn't in the file created using 4.0.15.1 on the Z240 and like I said nothing appears in the user interface. I checked under Security > TPM Embedded Security, but the only options I see there's TPM device and State of the TPM secure.

  Is it possible to configure the parameters of physical presence on this workstation using HPBCU model? If this isn't the case, then I need to recommend a brand/model alternative appropriate where it is possible.

  We deploy scripts that cross the HPBCU configmgr (SCCM) and may not have this annoying message from our users and potentially to deny the change.

  We can also have technicians manually visit each Z240 for this set up. Our I.T. field is large enough to 5000 computers automatic management is so crucial for us.

  Any help would be massively appreciated.

  Thank you very much

• Z Turbo Drive 512GB (G3G89AT): support low-profile for Z Turbo Drive 512 GB in Z230 SFF Workstation

  Does anyone know how to get support low-profile needed to install a Turbo Z Drive 512 GB in a Z230 SFF workstation?

  I realized this quick Spec HP card for my desktop which is located at the following link:

  http://WWW8.HP.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?DocName=c04123122

  I bought a kit of option (Nr G3G89AT) directly from HP by phone. I asked the seller HP if the package included support low-profile required for installation of this card in my small Z230 form factor. I mentioned that I thought HP might decided to not include this support as a cost reduction measure. After consultation with someone on the side of HP technology, my sales contact told me that the half-height support has been included in the kit. Unfortunately, when the kit arrived, he did not understand the necessary low-profile support, although the instructions for the kit explain how to remove the flange full height and replace it with the mid-height. I learn that HP doesn't have a part number for this support, it is not possible to order one of HP.

  The missing support wouldn't be a problem if the positioning of the screw half height brackets holes has been standardized. I learned from a search on eBay that the separation between the mounting holes on the maps of more than half-size is 54 mm, but the HP Z Turbo card has a separation of 51 mm between the holes. Therefore, I can't use a generic support for this card from HP.

  When I bought this kit option at HP, I had already purchased the same kit of Alinc Technologies in Austin, Texas. Alinc kit arrived without a low-profile support, but, because the wrong Bill was included in the delivery and the envelope holding the card opened, I assumed half-height support had been lost. To find out how to get support low-profile required for map of Alinc and whether this map was under warranty, I opened the number of cases of HP support: 4752621264. It is through this support effort that I ended up talking to a person of HP sales. I bought the second card Z Turbo Drive with the idea that I would use the first map as a spare. The SFF Z230 workstation only accepts one of these cards, I can use a single half-height for both cards support.

  If someone has the necessary low-profile support, I would be interested in buying it. Of course, I can change a generic low-profile with a hacksaw and epoxy support, but it's a very ugly solution.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Thoth

  In order to get support low-profile necessary to use the Z Turbo 512 GB drive card in a workstation Z230 SFF, order must be for HP Nr G3G89AA (part No. 759771-001) instead of HP Nr G3G89AT.  The card supplied under the two numbers of HP product is Samsung P/N: MZHPU512HCGL - 000: 1, which is equipped with a flange full-height.

  URL for HP Nr G3G89AA: http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/10782034/mfg_partno/G3G89AA

  The tab "what's in the box" for this web page does not mention the inclusion of low-profile support, so I recommend that this product be ordered by phone and that the part number and product number is appropriate.  The representative business of HP needs to understand that the card is for a station of small form factor, then it will ensure that the low-profile support will be in the area.

  I would like to thank the staff of HP support for the courteous manner in which they dealt with this problem.

• Satellite L - starting problem

  I used my new Toshiba laptop about 6 months ago - no prpblems. These last days I have starting problems. I turn it on and Toshiba logo appears on the screen, and Windows does not start. Toshiba Logo remains on as frozen screen and laptop keyboard does not respond. I turn it back on works and that's okay - wimdows starts normally. Startup Repair does not detect any problems.

  What can be?

  Hi oktay,.

  What model of laptop you have exactly? I can t find this information in your ad.

  If the laptop hangs on the Toshiba logo, it has nothing to do with Windows and it s hardware related issue.
  Have you connected external devices? If Yes, remove them all and try to boot up your laptop.

• Starting problems. - RunDLL32.exe, procedure entry point_except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link librarymsvcrt.dll

  I get the message RunDLL32.exe, procedure entry point_except_handler4_common could not be located in the dynamic link librarymsvcrt.dll. What should I do?

  I had starting problems, boot loop, I think it seems to have been resolved by using the last known good configuration, but I get this popup dialog box. I've not closed for fear that it will start XP looping again.

  Hi EddieBryan,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  3. when exactly you receive the error message?

  Method 1
  Check if the problem persists in safe mode and after return with the result.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  Method 2
  If the problem does not persist in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual
  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  1. click on Start , then click run.
  2. type msconfig , then click OK.
  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
  3. click on the general tab, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

  Method 3

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that will search the corrupted system files and try to correct them.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

• Win 7 intermittent starting problems

  My wife birhtday, I bought a new desktop PC 500-281 HP Pavillion through Win 7 clips in July of 2014. Intermittently the machine hangs at startup. Usually, he gets to "Starting Windows" screen and freezes, windows logo is not launched. When I shut off and restart, usually the screen asking if I want to start windows normally or start the Startup Repair utility. Should I choose one of these options and the machine works very well, sometimes I can shoose an option and the machine hangs again. Startup Repair shows no problem. When I'm on Windows I ran antivirus (AVG, McAfee, bitsMalware IO) analyses all upward with no problem. The machine is connected to ethernet (not wireless) a of the USB connections and: mouse, keyboard, external hard drive WD, printer Canon, Logitech webcam. All of this worked well on the old box. I have checked/updated all the drivers for external and all devices are updated. I checked the BIOS and Windows Connection Manager is the first start. This is a report of start-gel 60/40 at the moment and it happened that the staples of 14 days return policy. Any advice? My wife is extremely frustrated! (as a result so I am!)

  Hi Bob,

  I would test equipment (systems and components) to restarting your PC and pressing "ESC". A defective material is usually behind on a new PC erratic behavior. Despite a software driver problem which is very unlikely, component, causing this type of symptom can be the power supply. This point of failure (power) is not detected using HP diagnostics. If material tests pass and this isn't a software driver problem, through the process of elimination, it can be the power supply.

  In the start menu select F2 and run diagnostics.

  If all tests pass, try to use the PC with HP supplied only devices (mouse, keyboard, and Ethernet connection) to see if the system stabilizes.

  Let me know how it goes. We can try additional troubleshooting if the advice above does not help.

  Finally, you need to maybe to back up important data and do a factory restore. Then, run the system without installing any additional software and only HP devices connected.

  Always start problems? Now is the time to contact the HP Support.

• OptiPlex 960 SFF, 1 & 3 problem code, would someone please help

  Hello

  I hope that everyone who reads that it is good and functional to become great.

  I asked if someone could help please.

  I have an Optiplex 960 SFF.  Food was abuzz very badly so I decided to replace it.  Found that they were very expensive, so looked for a cheaper, I'm not rich, or even ok now...    Found two units tested on ebay for $25 shipped, a lot, I thought, get two because they apparently know often fails.   However, didn't know that I needed units with card connection pico mother or mini ATX.  The ones I bought were from the Optiplex 380.

  After graduating from them, I thought I could cut the old pico or mini connector atx and old wire and reuse.  Use a voltmeter and formatted all the tensions of old vs new, wire colors, etc.  Got all doing just that in the last days, removed the pins with trombone tool, etc...  Welded to the top and narrowing of heat or saved the cable connections, tested the connections to ensure that all voltages were correct and match old unit, etc.

  Unit is installed again, son were a little long, but everything worked very well.  Summer update w7 64 from the microsoft site, had a lot of downloads that the os was recently re - install.  About 3/4 through the installation of 120 updates the computer just went poof (no noise or smoke) and just off black screen.  Thought that maybe something happened with updates, waited 2 minutes and turned the system back.

  Now the system does not start BIOS, get the codes error 1 & 3 with color flashing amber, repair indicates might be the motherboard, power supply or problem devices.  I tried re-booting etc, stirring 24 motherboard connections pins, once it has started up, but left shortly after.

  So, anyone got any ideas on what could have happened?  The LED on the back 'lights up' when you push the button ps, so the manual says motherboard might be bad.  Can any ideas on how I tell if it's the motherboard or something else?  I re-tested the motherboard 24 ps connector pins, all voltages are correct, and even all ground wires are works well according to Continuity test.  I'm just a beginner computer repairman, so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Joe

  Hello

  Hope everyone is doing well this week, living longer.

  The new ps has seemed to work, went to post fine and then the operating system loaded correctly.  Ran that all updates to the os and the pass mark burn in test and performance of programs.  All of this work to the original specifications.

  Therefore, the solution = get exact dell p/n replacement or exact equivalent by technical support dell or knowledge of the forum.

  In this case an oR225m worked as replacement for R225m [235e-00] in a unit with the Core 2 quad processor T9600.

  Wouldn't try to rewire a new card connector mother atx mini/pico on another unit.   I pulled all the pins and welded the new connections of the cables, all the tension and tested as valid patterns, but still apparently failed ps.  Not sure if optiplex 380 ch output components are somehow different model 960 or if just one that I did not.   Spec on the 380 unit tensions were still with the exception of a different on an exit of a volt.  Including substitutes research of time spent, many hours reworking new unit, disassemble several times and others, he still do not finish work for a long time.  It worked well for 15 minutes then failed.  , Therefore, just try and find a new replacement unit or two units, as apparently these units fail ps are somewhat often become scarce.  PS units drawn never used 'new' units that have been taken to sell parts are available if you're looking for a lot.  I think that two of them would be enough to last you longer than the duration of the motherboard and associated components.

  In addition. the size of SFF has not really enough room for barely any son of length of ps to the motherboard.  The reworked unit I tried had only about 2-3 inches of extra wire and did not always easily or well.  Withdrawal of 20 pins (2 empty pin slots and 2 ground wire (black) needed no adjustment) and all the wires to solder connections took time.

  Thanks to especially Osprey and also rdunnill.

• Mac Pro start problem

  I have a Mac Pro Tower, that will not start the first time I press the power button, the machine "lights up" in a way that the light in front comes on and I hear a click, however the fans and readers do not engage and the screen is blank. I am then forced to hold down the power button until it stops and hit the power key once again, and each time on the second time it starts. Now I use this equal parts of Mac on the Mac partition and equal parts as a PC, this problem appears when I start in two, but I put in this detail to explain another thing, I have a PC graphics card in the computer. I have all his own CUDA Driver Version that allows me to do it on the mac, but it might have something to do with it. Even if the problem persists when I have my Mac AFI graphics card in the computer as well. I also want to add some other details, nor the mac from the PC partition can go in "standby mode" or the computer goes back to be a brick with just the front light on. (Sometimes the LED keyboard works, and sometimes is not after the mode 'sleep'). In addition, if I restart the computer, it starts well the first time, as well as when I move from mac to PC partition. I tried to do resets of LANDAU and SMC and that has not worked, someone at - it ideas?

  Thanks guys for any input you may have.

  The next time that you touch inside, try to carefully remove the 3 v button cell half hidden behind the graphics card and check the required 3 Volts. If less, a new is needed. You can also use CR2032, which is used for the remote control-door garage and car-door-key original is BR2032.

• NB205 - starting problems

  I have a NB205 that only runs once successfully in every 10 attempts. I changed the hard drive, memory module, reformatted XP from the original hard drive and I am always the same questions. When it starts up more, it works perfectly and all the tests I did see the PC works perfectly.

  The GET starts failed insofar as the Toshiba page, will not continue to windows, BIOS or Boot menu.
  Help, please.

  Hello

  This means that the laptop freezes as the home Toshiba screen appears?
  This means that this laptop can not pass the POST (power self test correctly).
  Above all, his problem with the motherboard or a part of the motherboard.

  I would say that the modules of memory must be controlled, but you said that the modules are new and should be ok, so I'd say its something wrong with the motherboard

• Satellite Pro U400-13 a - starting problems

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 13A running Windows XP Pro and have startup problems.

  The computer was working well until that last Wednesday when I modified the settings of advanced management power in how he reacted to the closing of the lid [hibernate] or pressing the power [on hold] button. Then, I closed the lid that I had to leave in a hurry.

  About 2 hours later, I opened the lid to take what I was doing and to a complete stop, but I got a partial summary leading to a bluescreen with the logo "XP" just to the right of Center and no home screen or directly in the Windows desktop as expected. Then, the computer does nothing.

  Pressing ALT + DEL shows that both operations are underway - "Windows logon" and "Connection", but the selection does nothing.
  I left the computer up to 6 hours, in the hope that it was a lengthy process that prevented it go further but still the same blue screen rest.

  I forced a shutdown by pressing the power and then restarted in the start menu [Safe Mode etc.].
  According to the boot option I then select [I tried all the] bothers me on the same position that I started with - blue screen with "XP" logo.

  I don't have a recovery disk, nor do the recovery option of disk in the advanced boot menu. I am at a loss.
  I sent the problem to technical support Toshiba but no response.

  What are my options?

  Thank you

  Seems you have to reinstall new OS.
  If you don t have disks or functional HARD drive recovery option, then I would recommend ordering the disc from here:

• Re: Portege 3440CT - starting problems

  I received a Portege 3440CT by a former colleague. It works under Windows 2000. She has not used in more than 5 years and can't remember what the password was. I tried to log in as administrator with a blank password, but the password has not been left white (grr) so basically I can't cross the password prompt.

  Shouldn't be a problem - there are a lot of Internet password recovery tools. I did a disk using this one here: http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/ intending to boot from the disk - there is a brand USB Toshiba external floppy drive.

  HOWEVER: the Portege stubbornly refuses to do. The boot order is set to try the FDD before all other options; I manually told to boot from diskettes; There is no ignoring me and Win2K boot from the hard drive. Would be very grateful for any ideas!

  I do not have:
  a reader of CD or DVD for laptop;
  a network connection or internet on it, as far as I know;
  disk recovery or installation of Windows;
  anyway to start Windows without knowing the password.

  I have:
  USB flash drives / external hard disk drives;
  The installer of Ubuntu (although on a CD, so useless without a CD player?);
  other computers.

  Wipe the hard drive is a solution I'd be happy to see if anyone can advise me on how to do it - there is nothing important about the laptop that should be retrieved.

  Hi abi278,
  first of all: what do you think?

  -install a new os on this machine?
  -use the operating system installed?

  get rid of the operating system administrator password:
  -install the drive in another system and run norhdahls supertool > read each line which is given! It is able to check the registry to another hard drive as the boot device.
  -make an installation of xp on another machine, sysprep this installation and change drive hard back
  -install the drive in another system and make it bootable with back, copy the source files for the system of desires and run the installation after you reinstall hard drive to your ct 3440

  Maybe you need a special player to install...

  BTW: nordahls disc resets passwords * inside * your operating system - read the manual of this powerful tool.

• Starting problem with a Satellite A75-S226

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A75-S226, recently bought application

  My problem is that whenever the computer cover is closed, it I cannot restore the operating system. So, I have to turn off the computer and try to start again. This is where the problem occurs when I try to start, the fan will start briefly then turns off, the screen remains black and there is no sound, the pulp and power lights are on and green and the circle around the power button is blue. I can't open the CD player or get no response from keyboard and mouse.

  The same thing happens when I am on battery. This problem occurs frequently and sometimes can be solved in constant reset, however, at times it will not work.

  Help would be appreciated.
