Hi all

I would like to uograde my compaq cq58 - product C2B16EA #ABU number

I want my microprocessor uograde AMD APU E1-1200 with graphics card HD Radeon (TM) to something much better.

any recommendations? or even if I can do this? laptop is real slow and lazy

Change the motherboard by another with a more powerful and video processor would be as expensive as buying a new laptop computer.

    Hello

    No matter if update 8 - also long as 10 Windows activated successfully, you can use the "clean installation" method

    It is possible that if the machine had just been "updated", the hard stop interrupted files system updated and this can lead to this kind of question.

    As a general rule, a clean installation of Windows 10 has less problems problems/performance than the upgrade from a previous version of Windows.

  • How to replace Windows 8 with Windows 7 on a Compaq CQ58

    Hello!

    Yesterday, I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it. I would buy Windows 7 to replace Windows 8 with. But:

    1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58?

    2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject?

    3 and if so, how?

    When you request support, please provide the model name and product number complete (p/n) of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    The information requested above are on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery compartment or on the BIOS boot screen. Please see How can I find my model number or product number? for help more to find this information. DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

    1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58? YES, it is probably possible to install Windows 7 on your computer.

    2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject? NO.

    3 and if so, how?

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

    In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    From the top...

    (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

    3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

    4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

    5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

    (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

    (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

    (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

    (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

    11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

    (12) you may need to provide Intel or AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...

    (13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

    (14) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

    (15) download and install the drivers from the support page for your computer.

    After installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (text only) for all other devices missing or unknown as illustrated in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • No DRIVERS for HP COMPAQ CQ58-305SW?

    Hello

    I just bough HP COMPAQ CQ58-305SW and found that there are no drivers listed for WINDOWS 7 software?

    How is it? So now I have to buy windows 8?

    Please answer me

    Hello:

    HP only supports the use of the PC with drivers for the current operating system (windows 8).

    People in need of support for other operating systems must purchase a professional PC.

    You can probably find the W7 64-bit only drivers you need, but they all will not be in the same place.

    Please read the information about the position of HP on the demotion to W7.

    http://News.techworld.com/operating-systems/3410119/do-not-downgrade-new-PCs-to-Windows-7-HP-urges-customers/?cmpid=TD1N1&no1x1

    If you still want to try to go down to W7 x 64, here are the links to the drivers, I think that you need:

    Make sure you create your Windows 8 recovery media before trying to go down, like the recovery partition will probably work more.

    You must first install the AMD chipset driver and restart.  First download listed is what you need.

    http://support.AMD.com/us/gpudownload/Windows/pages/raid_windows.aspx#2

    Then comes the W7 video driver that I think will work for your model as it lists the GPU 7310.

    Then the rest of the CQ57 W7 drivers should work on yours too.

  • Problem with new Compaq CQ58

    I bought a Compaq CQ58-201SA as a surprise gift for my young grandson.

    BEFORE GIVING IT to HIM, I want to load some programs, so it's all ready for him to go.  However, when you start the new laptop for this purpose, I get invited to "Choose a color" (for display) and "Name your computer" as part of the initial installation process.  Well, I don't want to do this - it's for my grandson to decide later - but I find it impossible to overtake this screen without entering a name.

    How can I pass this screen?  And will there be obstacles to go through before I can start loading the new similar software?

    Please help a Grandpa who are struggling!

    Thank you very much, Kalt.

    It's a shame I won't be able to get his laptop in the mode "ready to go" before giving him the gift.  Well...

    Thanks again for your quick and helpful response.

  • Compaq CQ58 computer 301SA laptop does not connect to 50Ghz band on router

    My laptop does not connect to the band 50Ghz on my router dual-band. I know that my router Netgear dual band diffuse 24 and 50 Ghz, but the laptop only shows the 24 Ghz band depending on availability.

    I have a Compaq CQ58 301SA Notebook PC, Windows 8 (64 bit OS).  It has a Ralink RT5390R 802 11bgn network adapter and a Realtek ethernet network adapter. I use the laptop wireless, for example using the Ralink connection and it connects easily to the 24 GHz band, but I want to broadcast TV programs and movies smoothly, for which, I understand that the 50Ghz band is preferable. I pay my ISP (Virgin Media) for a connection to Super-fast broadband but my laptop seems to be limited to the 24 GHz band. Seems to be the case if I work with the adapter Ralink wireless or wired with Realtek ethernet connection.

    This problem can be corrected? If so, how? What I have done research on the web, the problem seems to be network adapters. Can they work on the 50Ghz band? Or do I need to download another adapter (if so, which?) Or use an adapter external network I plug into a USB port?

    Driving me crazy...

    Hello:

    The Ralink RT5390R 802 11bgn is a map of the only band (2.4 GHz) only.

    Whenever you see a labeled bgn wireless card, it is a single band card.

    Cards labeled dual band abgn or agn.

    The maintenance manual (Chapter 3, page 19) does not indicate that any internal dual band card is supported, so you would probably have to go with an external usb dual wireless adapter.

    Hello

    I want to improve the memory to 2 GB in this notebook. Did someone or know how to find some manuals (with photos) on this subject. ?

    Thanks in advance
    Tomasz

    Hi Tomasz,

    The U200 SP comes with two memory slots and is expandable to a total of 4 Gb. RAM modules are available in 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB sizes. The RAM modules are normally accessed from the cell below, but for more details I suggest you check your user manual which will have full instructions to know how to locate, remove and replace them.

    Be particularly alert avoid static when you access RAM modules as they are very sensitive and easily damaged.

    You can find more information on the modules of RAM available here: -.

  • Realtek ethernet error code driver 35, Compaq CQ58, Windows 8.1

    Hello.

    I have a new laptop Compaq CQ58-353EM. It came with preinstalled system (Windows 8). Subsequently, I installed Windows and HP updates.

    The problem I have is with the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller (ethernet). In Device Manager, it is represented by a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. In the State of the device, it is stated: your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact the manufacturer to obtain a firmware or an update of the BIOS of your computer. (Code 35).

    Laptop has everything system and hp updates installed.

    I have tried the following to resolve the problem:

    -2 versions of various bios (F.26 and F.25).

    -several add/remove/reinstall the Realtek drivers

    -2 different versions of Realtek drivers: 8.3.730.2012 and 8.20.815.2013 (extract from the Realtek site).

    Ethernet works OK on Ubuntu.

    Any suggestions or solutions to this problem?
