Need help on RAM

Greetings,

My laptop model is Compaq Presario CQ40-401AX and it installed originally with 1 GB of RAM [1 GB 2Rx16 PC2 64005-666]. This works very well with games or work.

But I took my previous laptop and inserted in a Compaq laptop RAM, everything seems to work a little faster, but regarding the Games frequently cause the delay of the screen and portable heat very quickly. And the RAM 1 GB 2Rx8 PC2-42005-444.

Do I know if Compaq could use RAM 2Rx8 or the Rams were not compatible...

Inconsistent not just not a good idea. We spent 800 mhz PC2-6400 memory memory PC2-4200 533 mhz which slows down the whole system and is not a good match for the processor. If you want more memory go buy some memory PC2-6400.

    The point is to use Rams compatible and not faster. If speed of the FSB 533 MHz is there is no sense to use faster RAM.

    Compatible 1 GB of RAM for your Satellite M60 is with PA3411U-1M1G part number.

  • Need help as soon as POSSIBLE with RAM Preview

    Hey guys I need help with my RAM Preview and how to get it back on the default setting. I don't know what happened, but now my RAM Preview is divided on two screens. I tried literally everything to solve this problem and came to nothing. Nothing on google as well. Help, please! I need to get there soon! Here's what happens: 2016-09 - 03.png - Google Drive

    This is your equal to 2 times and not the RAM Preview Composition Panel (in fact it is seen now and not the RAM Preview... you can call him Mr. Preview if you want to get fancy). knowing how to describe your problem lies at halfway to a solution

    DON'T PANIC!

    Set it to 1 view and you'll be fine!

    These views are used for 3D to show the different perspectives and views spelling of a 3D scene. When they have no use in 2D. If you clicked on the option to display 2 views or more they will appear unless you change it back manually. even when you reset your workspace, they will appear - so I understand why this can be confusing.

  • Need help for upgrade R2 of Alienware x 51: card graphics, RAM, power supply

    Hi, about a year ago, I purchased the Alienware R2 x 51, and I want to improve.

    Im a bit new to this so I need help, so I came on the forums.

    Current form (these are the parts I want to improve):

    GeForce® GTX 745 with 4 GB of DDR3 memory

    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4770 processor

    8 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    You want to upgrade to these parts:

    GTX 960

    16 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY

    I'm not sure things:

    -I don't know if I currently have a 330w power, I heard say that because I have the R2 version of the x 51 Alienware, I 330w power (but I'm not sure so if someone can help with this, or tell me how do I know if I have a 330w PSU)

    -Ive seen someone use this card with his alienware x 51 and it worked perfectly and I was wondering if it would work with my alienware too

    www.Amazon.com/.../Ref=sr_1_5, qid = 1437994445 & sr = 8-5 & keywords = gtx + 960 + msi

    • This card will fit in my alienware x 51?
    • It will run smoothly?

    -Last thing is I need help with the ram, I want to buy two 8 GB sticks and replace them with two 4 GB ones I currently have. I'm not sure which RAM should I get (if someone can help with this and leave a link) which is compatible with my x 51 alienware.

    If you had something but the 645 GTX, GTX 745 or GTX 750 ti, you 330w POWER supply. The PSU is determined by what GPU, you, you no what revision. If you want to upgrade to the GTX 960 (the one you accessed is good), you must supply 330w (what I describe as a big black brick with an oval green LED). You probably have the 240w.

    Most desktop DDR3 RAM should work with the X 51. Some will not be because they do not match (heat sink (?) too thick and rounded).

  • AY747AA: I need help my pc has 1 short beep, 1 long beep

    Hi there I seriously need help you guys with my model # P6310Y.

    I constantly hear 1 short beep and 1 beep long when I try to start my PC. According to hp, it's a memory problem, but I proved it wrong.

    I went to remove the RAM check if one of the modules is bad.they are all good 2 GB x 3.

    I also removed the disk hard windows 7 and I still get the beeps that I described above. I made sure that all the cables are correctly seated and I cleaned the MOBO set for dust, including the CPU.

    I get a white one on my screen nothing shown.

    When I plug the keyboard I get no power, lights (NumLock, CapsLock) etc.

    The mouse is powered.

    I replaced the power supply always get the beeps and I can remove it all cables, hd, mouse, KB and the beeps continue.

    Please help me guys that I have reached a dead end and I thank you for your time,

    Sincerely,

    Quote from Wikipedia:

    S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) is a type of digital audio interconnection, used in audio devices to the audio output over relatively short distances.

    In any case, it's time to "responsibly recycle" this motherboard and get a new one.

    You traded all that was possible exchange, without solving the problem.

    Pull on all small riders off the coast of the old MOBO and then save them.  They might be useful.

    Try to find a MOBO from the same manufacturer with the same type of CPU (Intel processor) or AMD in AMD.

    That increases the chances of (stored on the current hard disk) Windows being able to reconfigure itself to adapt to the new hardware configuration.  This "correspondent" also helps to position all the external (USB, Ethernet) audio connectors on the new MOBO to physically enter your current case.

  • Need help with the decision of the laptop

    I'm sorry for the length of this post, but I really need help. I am buying a laptop and what should be a very exciting perspective (my first laptop purchase) turns into a nightmare that had me pretty much in tears over the weekend.

    My budget is not big - absolute maximum of 600 pounds, but I'd rather spend a little less than that.

    I mainly work of office (Word, Excel, database and PowerPoint) and also some Photoshop work. I also play a strategy game called Caesar 3. I want to charge my copy of XP on the computer or replace Vista or as a partition.

    Looking through the available templates in my price range and rising benchmarks, I found the following:

    Most have processors such as the Intel T5250 or T5450 or AMD TL 58, which are all rated as ok, but not very well. Some have the AMD TL 60, which is a little better and one or two have the T7200 Intel which is even better.

    On most of the machines graphics cards are the ATI Radeon Xpress X 1200 or the Intel GMA X 3100. These two are calibrated as not terrible and the review says that they cannot manage strategy games. Some of the models have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 and HD 2400XT and one or two have the HD 2600.

    The problem is that the models that have the best processor have the lower rated graphics card and those who do not have XP drivers, I see.

    Don't mind a 15.4 screen "(although the 17.1" would be very nice to have) and want a pretty big hard drive (160 +). I get 2 GB of RAM.

    I'm at my wits end. I don't want to buy a computer that will eventually take a minute or more to refresh a screen when you have more than two things open, or you will have to keep rebooting to make it work. I want to be able to play my one and only (Caesar III) game which is a strategy game and I want to be able to work in Photoshop and maybe one or two other things open at the same time, as a website perhaps.

    Help me please, anyone. I asking the impossible? I can't get my hands on an email address for Toshiba try to get clarity on their part on the issue of drivers and they will be available in the future.

    Then there is of course the issue detailing as each stock only a limited number of models, and we must choose between those detailing.

    I hope someone can help me!

    Hello

    The problem is you want to buy a laptop all over the place but don t want to spend a lot of money.

    In addition, you want to change the XP operating system and have XP drivers.

    Well it's boyfriend very difficult decision ;)

    A laptop for gaming with the graphics power full card cost slightly more than £ 600
    If you need to make a decision; You want to buy a gaming laptop and to spend more than £ 600 or you will have a notebook that is ideal for everyday use, like watching DVDs, in collaboration with the office software, etc.

    The Caesar game is unknown to me, but I assume that it doesn t need a graphics card high performance and it should work on a normal phone too.

    I think that a Satellite a200 is not bad choice for you, because some A200 laptop computers were shipped with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card.

    And very important is that all the XP drivers were already released ;)

  • Need help with updates!

    I will start with my features of laptops.

    -System-
    Manufacturer: HP
    Model: HP G62 Notebook PC
    Rating: 4.0
    Processor: AMD Athlon II P320 Dual-Core Processor 2.10 GHz
    RAM: 8.00 GB
    System type: 64-bit Operating System

    So the problem I have is that when I am games I am roughly pushing my computer to its limit and I want to accelerate as efficiently as possible. I recently upgraded my 4.0 GB 8.0 GB RAM, but that's all I've done so far. Keeping in mind the laptop is a bit outdated (I bought in 2010 or 2009). I don't know exactly what the best upgrades are, so why I post here for assistance. I am open to suggestions and advice help my computer!

    I know I should just buy a new computer, but I grew attached to it and I can't really have a desktop computer because I am a student and I need to be moving quite often.

    I would say that my budget is 200 to 400 $ CAD.

    My questions are...

    How can I find out what kind of processor would be best for my computer (if you know it please leave a link or something to show me what would work well)

    The upgrade of the motherboard would also help? (I also don't know what would be useful or compatible)

    TL; DR: I need help to upgrade my laptop and suggestions on what it takes to update and with what would be great!

    Unfortunately there isn't much you can do to make this portable game better. What you need is more powerful graphics and there is no way to get it. There is no better motherboard that you put in it. Ago slightly faster processors, you could install, but the cost would be very important and he would not really game better. Sell your laptop and add it to the CAD $ 400 you have budgeted for upgrades. There are some bargains out there right now on the computers of all kinds, including laptops.

    If you need any help post more come back.

  • I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

    I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

    Kind regards

    Hi Ken,

    Everything seems in order, with the exception of not to mention or not, that you have installed the Package from Microsoft Windows Update for the age (AMD) Pr no intelof ocessors before installing Windows XP SP3.

    You can download an install it from this link.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-ie/download/details.aspx?ID=23751

    You may need to uninstall Windows XP SP3 and IE8 before installing the package and I forget it is because you do not want a scenario where IE8 stays on your system when you reinstall SP3 of XP. You want to install IE8 after installing SP3, you can uninstall it later if necessary.

    Note: If you are not currently having problems it is not necessary (to install the update package).

    What you want to know?

  • Need help with upgrade of processor - HP Pavilion DV6729ca options

    Hi, I need help to find compatible processors (CPU) upgrade for my HP Pavilion DV6729ca laptop.

    I flashed the Bios Version: l58 (the latest version)

    I know that this laptop already added support for the Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile Processors T8100, T8300, T9300 and T9500 in the version of the Bios F.45.

    I would like to know if there are all the most advanced processors that are compatible as any Intel Quad Core or Intel Core Extreme processor, thank you.

    More information: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family.

    T7700 or T7800 T9500 is the best, is best bang for buck in used cpu market.

    mixture of the above with SSD (for example, V300) & second storage conducted if needed in a caddy optical bay more max ram for your OS version would create a fast machine.

  • Need help with windows defender. all my files folders pictures everythiing disappeared and I find myself with this black screen and it is not all good: o)

    Need help with windows defender. all my files folders pictures everythiing disappeared and I find myself with this black screen and it is not all good: o)

    I don't know why vista windows no longer charge, or when the files and folders disappeared

    How Windows Defender is on this problem?

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

     

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.

  • HP Pavilion p6510t won't start, need help!

    Hello, we have your desktop HP Pavilion p6510t with the following specifications:

    • Audio Reader, 2 USB, 15-in-1 memory card
    • No TV Tuner
    • Integrated sound
    • HP USB keyboard and optical mouse

    We also bought this monitor to her (though I doubt it's important in this case):

    HP S1931a 18.5 "diagonal LCD screen

    The problem started about two months ago when the computer turns off without reason then that slowed down (before sleep should have started). After the computer restarts, he gave the beep codes that there was a problem with memory (1 short beep, 1 beep, long pause, repeat) long. After power back off and remove all devices and the power cable, the RAM has been removed (2 x 2 GB), checked for dust, bad seats, pins bent, etc...  The 2 RAM sticks have been resettled and the problem seems to be resolved.

    Fast forward two months (a bit more under warranty), the same problem occurs. This time, replace the RAM has not fixed the problem. Sometimes the computer should boot properly and then randomly cut regardless of what the processor was doing (idle or under load of 25% or more). In addition, beep codes would perhaps only half the time where it would not start. The output has been verified for feeding and another (proven) outlet has also been tried. No change. At this point, the computer won't be enough for any start screen at all, not even a blue screen.

    What he do to power on:

    • All powered fans (power supply, fan CPU cooler, case) and a spin at full speed.
    • Hard drive to wind up.
    • Green light on the power supply remains stable.
    • VA CD drive open and close normally.

    What is does not power upward:

    • No display at all.
    • No beep codes.
    • No blue light on the button walk / stop (top of case).
    • CPU does NOT get hot to the touch after 5 seconds to be under tension (with the fan and the heatsink removed and unplugged).
    • With two strips of RAM not removed, no beep of any kind.

    I also tried to use an old video card, I had to hang out, thinking that maybe the onboard graphics card were no longer works. The video card gets power as his fan runs, also at full speed. Still no display.

    I already bought a pair of replacement RAM sticks, exact same specifications and brand (Crucial), no difference. I tried all combinations of each stick into each slot with the original of the RAM in the first place, so I assumed it was sticks and replaced. Now that the RAM has been replaced and no beep codes, I suspect the motherboard or the CPU.

    I also tried to reset the BIOS by removing the battery for 10 + minutes and also move jumper to 2-3 1-2 during 10 seconds and replace (with power off).

    What I want to know is which component I need to replace to get this computer working before its tax season. I'd like to think it's the processor, because it remains cold to the touch after turning on. If this is the case, can someone confirm that this is a suitable replacement? (Intel Pentium E5700 Wolfdale 3.0 GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core processor desktop BX80571E5700http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16819116381

    If it's the motherboard (I hope not), it can be replaced without having to re - install windows? I can't find an exact replacement for the H - I41 - Μatx Foxconn (Eton). HP has one of these in stock that could be shipped out?

    I know that the computer is already out of warranty (barely) and can do the work myself, but need help to determine the problem I want to throw the money to do this work right.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello jkalbin, I think a bad mother rather than the processor card. Chess with the processors don't happen often at all. You should never feed a computer with radiator/fan all not attached to the processor. Just 5 seconds without the radiator/fan could easily burn a processor.

    The fact that the processor had no hot does not mean it does not work, if the motherboard does not send power to the processor.

    Motherboard failures are many times more often than the failures of processor. I had one processor to fail in more than 25 years of working with computers.

    Just some thoughts.
