m8120n Media Center PC RAM upgrade questions - help please!

I have an HP m8120n 2 year old PC. It has 3 GB RAM PC5300 inside stock. I want to upgrade the ram, with 6 or 8 GB. Here are the 2 questions I have:

(1) this motherboard is supposed to handle 8 GB (4x2Go). It will get by the BIOS?

(2) this motherboard is supposed to be able to handle up to PC64000 (DDR2 800) RAM. I can use it or do I have to stick to the PC5300 accompanying?

I understand that if I go to 6 GB, I leave 2 GB of RAM stock in it and you need to use the PC5300. I would prefer 8 GB and the PC6400. And Yes, I run Vista 64.

Thanks in advance!

OK, I got it now.

  • Windows 7 Media Center blocks all programs start - HELP - green buttons everywhere

    Hello

    I have a laptop Acer Windows 7 (new) / and Office XP - Office 7 free trial ran out. Anyway, I can't open any programs on my computer since the implementation of Media Center.

    Last night, I downloaded from CNET programs, including the FreeZonlineTV and a few others. I remember during Setup, Media Center was downloading something that took a long time - I thought that it was creating a library or something - it was late - sorry. In any case, this morning the download is complete, I have a bunch of little green buttons on all my programs on the desktop (shortcuts). I also have this same green button on everything in my Start menu, (i.e., Skype, ITunes, MRI, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) When I click on any of them, the media goes full screen. It does not actually close. It is now in my taskbar - I can't minimize it - it appears full screen again when I try. I decreased the size of the window now, and there's just on the side of my desk.

    I tried Ctrl/Alt/Del and ending the Media Center, but it just POPs right up again. I tried to delete or disable Media Center, but when I'm in the section of the control panel I need to disable to turn it off, media center pop up and don't let not even get me in the section where I can check or uncheck something.

    I can not restore - media center stop the it. I. Please help - I can't even open word documents - this is urgent. Oh, it also disabled by AVG and other antivirus programs so I can't even scan. I ran Advance care system and did a diagnostic scan - found defrag required - done - but, when I tried to get into other programs on Advance care system, guess what - a bunch of little green buttons on all of these programs as well.

    Any help would be appreciated!

  • The upgrade of Vista (32) for Vista 64 on m8120n (Media Center PC)

    I want to improve my PC Media Center of Vista Vista 64.  I noticed that HP has the drivers for Vista 64 on the site, very cool.  Is there anything else I should be aware of when you do?

    Is it possible to dual boot between Vista and Vista 64?

    I do it mainly to take advantage of the 8 GB of RAM, I use in Vista.  I have run a large number of VM and you can always use more memory.

    Thank you.

    The first thing to do is to make sure that you have all the drivers for your motherboard and all your external devices, in particular wireless adapter if you use one, The 64 - bit drivers for additional cards are not always easy to find.

    Make an HP restore disc.

    If you know how to make a picture of two partitions on your hard drive. This will allow you to restore your system to the exact state, {(avec tous les programmes et données intactes) it was before you changed it.}

    Dual-Boot and even quad-boot is easy to do. Note that start between a 64 bit OS and a 32 bit OS is delicate due to the boot manager that uses Vista. There are a lot of upgradings on how to do it online. Here's a search with your query as the topic. Simply use the search engine of your choice to find.

    Thank you very much

    Kal

    PS just down the 'Live Chat' to Crucial and got this...

    http://Forum.crucial.com/T5/crucial-memory-for-PC-systems/why-doesn-t-Windows-recognize-all-of-my-me...

    It clearly states that 64-bit isn't the same limits that 32 bit, is there hope for me? Stay tuned!

    While the link in your message does not seem to give the results that you list that 16 GB, I looked at the technical page for THE motherboard and seems to say that 4 GB is the limit.  And which is repeated on THE PAGE of SPECIFICATIONS for the PC as a whole.  Of course, if you want to experiment with it, feel free.

    Thank you.

    @sniper1k5

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I came across your post and I will help you. I understand after the upgrade of the Pentium E2140 processor, your HP Media Center M7380 is not working properly. I did some research and found the computer specifications. According to the characteristics of motherboard, Pentium E2140 is not compatible with the motherboard. You can access the links below to see specifications and processors supported:

  • HP Pavilion Media Center m8160 Win7 upgrade?

    Will be my HP Pavilion Media Center m8160, running 32-bit win7, run a 64-bit version of Win8? My flag has an E4400 clocked at 2 Mhz.? I've already upgraded the card wirelessly with a compatible W8.

    Hello:

    The E4400 is a compatible processor 64-bit, your PC can run a 64-bit operating system.

    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/29753/Intel-Core2-Duo-processor-E4400-2m-cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB?q=E4400

    Whether or not you will find W8 drivers for other devices in your model, I couldn't say for sure 100% that of course it will run W8 very well.

    A note... a 64-bit operating system uses more memory and disk space to run that operating system 32-bit, if you have less than 4 GB of memory in your PC, I would install more memory or install a 32-bit operating system.

    If the manual indicates that only 2 GB are possible then you can move the RAM only to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB module)

  • I have Media Center 2002 and upgrade to 2006. How can I do?

    I recently had a new hard drive and now can't use higher than Windows Media Player 9 I can't find plug-ins to play the DVD in there.  I want Media Center 2006 edition to support Windows Media Player 11.  Can I download it somewhere without losing my data?

    MCE 2005 is a separate product of 2002: she uses a different set of product keys.

    You can't improve your system without the right key - and MS stopped selling MCE in 2007, when he released Vista.

    The latest Media Player updates should be available in updates of Windows, in the section updated optional, once you use the custom option for the analysis of updates.

    If it is not there, then the system is unable to use it - and I see that MP11 requires at least MCE2005.

    I think you're out of luck :(

  • HP 15-AC053TX: 15-AC053TX of HP linux dual boot and RAM upgrade question

    Hello

    I want to buy HP laptop computer 15-AC053TX for VMS running on the science of data/data. I have the following questions

    (1) will require computer support dual-boot Linux OS like Ubuntu and CentOS 64-bit?

    (2) can I upgrade RAM 16 GB? Can I pre-order with a configuration upgrade or should I upgrade later through Service to the HP customer care?

    All entries will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Bazelaire

    It has 8 gigs in a single module, so all you have to do is add another module of 8 GB to 16. This particular model is a specific configuration and HP do not at this level off the coast of this issue of model, but you can order the same thing as a custom to order and get 16 gigs. If not upgrade memory isn't too hard on that one, and the upgrade, it'll be cheaper.

    See p. 46 here:

    Repair manuals

    Manual specifications say it tops out at 8 gigs, but this has been proven incorrect and tackling the 16 concerts if you put two x 8 concert DDR3L-1600 modules.

    Yes, you can dual boot a modern Linux distribution. Ubuntu 64 bit 15.04 and 15.10 will work off UEFI and Secure Boot for example and allow you to install right next to Windows 10 using the grub bootloader to choose your operating system at startup.

  • HP Pavilion g6-2249wm Notebook: RAM upgrade question

    When I ordered my laptop a few years, there is, it came with 4 GB of RAM standard, but you could spend up to a maximum of 8 GB to 6 GB. I bought it with 6 GB. I want to move to 8 GB, and I know there are 2 RAM slots in the laptop. My question is, did they use a 6 GB stick in one of the slots or the fact that they use a 4 gb one and one 2g in the other? Im hoping to get a response, so I don't have to open it up and look for myself. I don't know if I should order a 2 GB or 4 GB a stick to get up to 8 GB.  That being said, someone knows if HP would be put in a 6 GB stick or run a 4 GB and 2 GB as a whole? IM assuming they put in a single 6 GB and I just need to buy a upgrade 2bg. Thank you

    Moreover, it would go better if I just replaced it and got a bar of 8 GB of RAM?

    I can tell without looking or read whatever it is, that it isn't just a 6 gig of memory because those who are not 'a thing' as the kids say. You can actually get a software called Belarc Advisor to do the dirty work and interrogate the locations of memory and tell you what is in it or them.

    http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

    But since there is no 6 concert sticks; only 2, 4 and 8, we know that you have a 2 gig and a 4 GB and you can mix the 2 and add a 4.

    The laptop will not support 8 modules of concert and it will work better with 2 of the same size due to something called mode memory dual channel which is only used when you have two identical modules. So yes, you need to duplicate the existing 4 GB module for a total of 8 and you will see a modest but noticeable improvement in speed.

  • Lenovo x220t ram upgrade questions

    I am looking for the x220t but I got a questions about upgrading ram. I'm not very knowledge when it comes to changes to the computer, but I would like to know if one of these Rams from spare 4 GB would fit in the x220t.

    Also, for later use, I would like to know how to know if an Aries will work. Is there some numbers that must match (literally I don't know anything, but the figures look like)?

    Thank you

    Go with the first link. His brand lenovo RAM. When you buy RAM, you want to get the last type (i.e. the norm these days), which I think is DDR3 right now. DDR3 is simply the interface type. In addition, you must consider which will support your motherboard, and you find this out by looking at the specs of your motherboard. It will tell you all the ports and what type of everything what you can fit there.

    The maximum amount of RAM has to do with your operating system (OS). The limits of each version of Windows, you can wikipedia. In fact, wikipedia EVERYTHING and you will learn.

    The reason why I told you to buy the first RAM in the link is because you want all your RAM are the same to be more effective. I don't really know the details, but just to get the same RAM (brand, latency, type, no matter). As a casual PC user, you don't really need to worry about what anyone else. Just make sure the RAM on the motherboard of the computer desk or in your laptop and if you buy more RAM, try to be the same. Although it is not that serious.

    BTW, I bought RAM myself for my 220 t make my Tablet have 8 GB, (which is the maximum that can support this thing) and it works like a charm.

    I hope this helps. Building, fixing, modding and the upgrade of PC is all about trial and error. And once again, wikipedia everything. If you have a problem with a PC, try it on google and go on forums because people generally have the same problems. That's how you learn.

    Peace

  • Pavilion 15-ab150sa: HP - Pavilion 15-ab150sa 15.6 "laptop RAM UPGRADE QUESTION

    It is said in the task manager that one slot free, I was just wondering if I could upgrade the laptop to 16 GB. Laptops have already been 1x8gb.

    Can my all new laptop handle it?

    Thank you very much, and best wishes,

    Mr. Hayle.

    Unfortunately, HP has not posted a manual for your specific model. The Star Wars thing is the series of 15 t-ab100 and the same physical case and the layout, just Intel AMD not. There is a forum for active discussion on the model of Star Wars and we know by experience of the user, it can be upgraded to 16 gigs and it also comes with a single module of 8 GB and an open slot.

    I think this might be your manual, even if it is found under the designation 15z-ab000, A8-7410 processor and the plug and the configuration described in the manual seem to be the same as yours:

    Manual

    It is said expressly:

    Supports up to 16 GB of RAM in the following configurations.

    I do not work for HP. I am a user final colleague who has some knowledge based on fact that for a few years. I never came across a computer that will a 8 GB module and has a slot for memory that will not accept a second module of 8 GB for a total of 16 concerts. If you buy the 8 GB module and it doesn't work I'll buy it from you for a reasonable current retail value. Just PM me.

    Note that this upgrade memory isn't a thing authorized for mutual assistance. The warranty may or may not remain intact.

    Also be aware that the upgrade from 8 GB to 16 GB does not alter the performance of the machine much, if at all for the majority of computer users and could well be a waste of money. But if you do heavy photo or video production work, drop the pieces of music or compile large batches of the Code you can use 16 gigs successfully. Same game didn't really need more than 8 GB, however.
