Matched XW8400 CPU... .only a CPU slot 1 work

I have Inhereted a XW8400 with only works on 1 2 matched Intel quad core Cpu. I have exchanged around the matched CPU and both work well, but only in slot 1. The information system gives me only 1 CPU to 4 cores and 4 logic.

I have inspected the slot 2 with a microscope and found that no pins are damaged, broken or out of place. I'm removing the CPU in a good sense.

It has been suggested that I update my Bios and found a level of 2.3xxx on the HP site and downloaded, however, when you try to load it in F10 during boot to start what he reads in the column flashrom two andUSB Optics (which I tried) shows a red window saying "file is not present missing or corrupted. " I checked and found that it is NOT corrupt and most certainly there IS on both disks and USB flash memory.

My motherboard is at fault? because everything else works very well with win 7 pro 64 bit and 16 GB of ram ECE in the correct locations.

The questions I have are:-

(A) it is the motherboard 1) have I missed some sort of activation process? (2) how do I test if it is the motherboard?

Can (B) Pourquoi I not take my flashrom as indicated in the above path?

What I am doing wrong? and how do I check and or a solution?

any suggestions welcome, I know it's probably an old machine now, but he has left life plaenty and works great (if a little slow by the standards of today ' hui).

Thank you very much in advance for any response.

Kind regards

Be able to run in what concerns only a processor... it may be a motherboard problem because you have proven that the two processors are the same and work in the upper part when taken there by themselves.  You will have to just live with a Quad Core...

Regarding the question of the USB... the USB key must be formatted cost with fat32, it must have only the single .bin file on it and nothing else, and we must put it in my computer when it stops completely.  Then, boot in the BIOS and use the option here in the first tab updated the BIOS to go into the BIOS.

The bin file is 7D5_0238.bin, and it's the only thing you want to see on this USB key.  I'll try to tie it, but it cannot be allowed.

Nope... not allowed.  I'll try to zip and tie it...

Yep... that worked.  Just unzip that put on your USB key and try with that.

If this does not work then just run the HP SoftPaq for this update BIOS of Windows 7... just the fire and it should automatically launch a page that allows you to run the BIOS flashing directly from in W7.  This page will not be talking about Windows 7, that does not matter.  You may need to respond in W7, the program installed correctly.

EDIT: in general, it is best to get something as important as this .bin file directly from the source, the HP SoftPaq.  How to do this has been posted here several times... it is in the BACK folder after you run the SoftPaq, which is SP51225.exe for the last (and probably last) xw8400 BIOS updater.  It will be at the root of drive C, inside the SWSetup folder.

  • 2 slots for ram, or I can use only a single slot?

    Hello..

    But I totally forgot that she has 2 slots for ram!

    so you can use only a single slot? or I have to buy another ram?

    Thankss

    For best performance Mac need pairs of corresponding RAM modules, swap or buy more is recommended all things being equal. I would however expect sentencing of incompatibility performance much smaller than the benefit of the upgrade beyond 4 GB, so you could run with 8 GB in a slot and the original 2 GB in one for 10 GB total installed.

  • HP Envy 15 1060ea Bios shows only 3 DIMM Slots.

    Hello

    I am trying to upgrade my 1060ea HP Envy (UK model) RAM.

    The laptop has 4 GB of RAM installed at present.

    I bought this laptop as a replacement of the workstation for graphics applications.

    I was hooked by the laptop with the understanding that "I could upgrade to 16 GB of RAM because there are 4 DIMM slots".

    My number of portable product = VJ295EA #ABU. Card mother = 7009 36.35. System BIOS = f.2bs.

    There are 4 Slots DIMM physical on the machine, two internal, two external.

    The two DIMM slots internal should remove the back of my laptop, which I am not willing to do.

    The two external DIMM slots are accessible by removing the laptop battery and remove the 3 screws and a small sign.

    I bought a 4GB SODIMM DDR3PC1060 module so far.

    Module Spec = 4096 MB DDR3 PC3-10700 (677 MHz).

    I don't see what follows.

    (1) if I insert the module SODIMM 4 GB in the external DIMM location nearest battery laptop, all works well.

    I start the laptop and the BIOS recognizes the additional 4 GB memory and Windows 7 64 bit also recognizes additional memory of 4G. I see subsequently notified to the system memory.

    Memory 8 GB system

    1 SODIMM 4 GB 1333 MHz

    Locations 2 2GB SODIMM 1333 MHz Micron

    3 2GB SODIMM 1333 MHz Micron.

    (2) the module SODIMM 4 GB is not recognized by the BIOS or Windows 7, when I insert the plug-in 4 GB SODIMM in slot DIMM closest to the body of the laptop.

    (DIMM location is under the location DIMM referred to in (1) above).

    (3) I decided to look at 3rd parties providing modules SODIMMmemory Dee if they had software to detect the number of DIMM slots on my machine. I looked at the following link. (http://www.crucial.com) and downloaded a tool to detect the number of DIMM slots on the machine.

    Here are the results:

    Type of memory: DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 (non - ECC)memory Maximum: 16GB Slots: 4

    Each slot of memory can hold DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 PC3-10600, with a maximum of 4 GB per slot.* * should not exceed manufacturer supported memory

    Based on the foregoing, there are 4 slots. I can see two physical external DIMMS.

    I'm confused. Here are my questions.

    (1) the amount of memory I would be able to install on this HP Envy 1060eanotebook?

    (2) why the BIOS reports only 3 DIMM slots?

    (3) it's the broken BIOS?

    (4) what I need to upgrade the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)

    Hello

    I bought another stick of memory of 4 GB, the same specification as described in my initial post.

    If I insert only one stick in the external memory expansion slot nearest the body of the laptop module is not recognized by the BIOS.  -J' have still 4 GB of total Ram.

    If I insert only one of these sticks in the other external location, it is recognized. I have 8 GB of total Ram.

    If I insert both of these sticks of 4 GB memory in external memory module expansion ports, both are recognized by the BIOS I have 12 GB of total RAM.

    Strange behavior, but that's what I see.

    In any case, I took the chance, bought two sticks, open the laptop & replaced the two sticks of 2 GB internal memory with the new 4 GB 4 GB sticks of memory.

    I now have a 1060ea HP Envy with 16 GB of Ram seen by the BIOS, Windows7 and Linux and 2 spare 2 GB sticks.

    Thanks for your response anyway.

    Problem solved.

  • Tecra A2 ACPI question - systems of scaling of the CPU do not work

    Hi *.

    I have Toshiba Tecra A2. It works very well for a year and a half, but now I have some problems. Apparently in ACPI problem. I use SuSE Linux (10.1), but I also have Windows XP Pro on this machine. In both CPU scaling systems do not work.

    Also, when I try to reboot both systems can stop, but then (I thing that it is the BIOS time) just shut down. I can only hold the power button for 5 seconds and material poweroff. I update the bios to version 1.4, set default values, but noting help.

    Any idea? And not only that, is possible to ask Toshiba support center any problem by mail or telephone?

    Thank you

    Hi Branimir

    I'm don't know if someone will help you because Linux is not supported for operating system. Your device has two operating systems and also start Manager and there is no standard situation after discount and supported OS is there without any other substance.

    On this path, it is not easy to make a serious diagnosis, but you can try to contact the hotline of Toshiba. Please see the official page of Toshiba Europe under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    Hi all

    I have 3 Tecra A9 notebook that came with a Core2Duo T7100 clocked at 1.8 Ghz with 2 MB of Cache. Updated every 3 to a T7700 clocked at 2.4 Ghz with 4 MB of Cache. According to Intel, these two processors TDP is 35W. Books don't get really hot and not hot. The CPU FAN starts right full power after the display of the BIOS with the Toshiba Logo screen. Under Bios Version 2.1 on all 3 systems, having the same behavior on all 3 systems. CPU properly recognized under Windows XP, Win7, and Win10. Is it possible to get the adjusted to normal CPU fan? The system isn t is hotter than upgrading the CPU, just for some reason any BIOS has now decided the fan must operate at full power. I even traded one of the CPU Fans with that of a Tecra A10 notebook but had the same effect as with the original fan. Having no idea what I could do. I hope for your help!

    Best regards

    I think that needs calibration to be performed to configure the table of fan speed.
