No post after resetting bios HP Elitebook 8440p

Good day HP,.

I have reset the bios on an HP Elitebook 8440p, but after that it will not publish. The lights on the keyboard flash market / stop abit, and then it reboots constantly with no photo.  I removed the battery, hard drive, tried other types of ram, disconnected the bios battery for a while (under the keyboard).  Sometimes it starts with no picture on the screen but fan is completely and stays on for a while.

Any tips?

Thanks for any help

Kind regards

Hello

It seems that the customer has replaced with something matched ram (8 GB 1600 mhz crucial sticks). Ubuntu etc. would be fine and would install, however, anything with win7/win8 wouldn't work (and bios problems mentioned). Swapped the ram and everything works now.

Sorry for wasting your time, and have a good weekend!

Kind regards

  • Help! Aurora R4 BIOS upgrade, post after reset CMOS

    In preparation for the installation of my new GTX970, I decided to update the bios on my R4 Aurora. I started bios a02 and upgraded to a05. Restart the new bios could not find my HARD drive. I ran the software post-diag and checked everything very well, my HARD drive was in the list and was checked off as OK. My hypothesis was that something was wrong with the upgrade of the BIOS so I decided to reset and start again...

    To reset the BIOS, I swapped the CMOS of 1-2 and 2-3 Horseman after 10 seconds. Now, when I try to start the screen is black and I get the error beep 5 (resettlement or replace the CMOS battery).

    That's what I did to try to fix it until now:

    • Reinstall the CMOS battery
    • Pull the CMOS battery, sauter jump reset, then replace CMOS battery
    • Replace the dough CMOS (new battery)
    • Disconnect all components except for the video and the RAM, battery CMOS replace
    • Disconnect all components except for the video and 1 stick of Ram, reinstall the CMOS battery

    After that each rider reset the pc starts to boot up, then after a few seconds will restart. When it restarts I'm stuck at a black screen and 5 beeps.

    Update! I reinstalled everything once more and now I get video and there is no more than beep. But I'm stuck on the screen of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology and cannot continue.

    I tried pressing f12 during the boot and could not enter the boot parameters.
    By pressing the shortcut of on the intel RST screen does nothing.

    Thank you all. It turns out that all I had to do was to change the hard drive in legacy mode and it starts fine.

  • How to reset the HP Elitebook 8440p bios admin password

    SOLUTION: This is what I did and worked like a dream. Contacted HP, told them the problem. They "rise of the case," took my info. The next day, I sent a file called SMC.bin. It is formatted specifically for my machine to match the UUID. A file copied to FAT 32 format USB key, started in accordance with the instructions of e-mail, password bios reset.

  • EliteBook 8440p: HP Elitebook 8440p BIOS

    Hello

    Last week, I checked the updates to the bios for elitebook 8440p of the of my father and I saw 2 different entrances, f.13 (2011) & f.50 (2014). Subsequently I have updated BIOS F.12 F.13 to without any problems.

    I hesitated to update with F.50 because when I checked the F50 revision history, I saw that this goes back to F.21, nothing is mentioned about F.1* series.

    So, is it safe to update with F.50 or is it for some other versions of 8440p (if there is)?

    Thank you.

    There is no default for the BIOS administrator password. It is not intended to be forgotten if defined.

    Otherwise, the BIOS CMOS chip will be replaced to remove the password.

    "He said during the introduction of the" non-system disk or disk error Replace and strike any key when ready '. "."

    The operating system BCD store may be corrupted, the hard drive has not, or you have a USB stick plugged into a port. There are a number of things that can cause this error.

    I see, my bad. I remember seeing some people by the name of HP, so thought they were the HP guy.

    If I understand correctly in order to get the support I need to have a guarantee, right?

    If so, he has been out of warranty for years.

    While you have anyhing in mind outside throwing the die with F.50?

    No idea why two separate files from the bios? Do you share my concerns?

  • EliteBook 8440p: Reseting graphics card

    Hello

    I recently took an EliteBook 8440p, updated from an older model. I use this machine to play Eve Online while traveling. The problem I have is with the graphics card, it keeps reseting when some parts of the game to the top load, in particular, whenever my character in the play jumps through a wormhole, or a door of the stars, the game crashes, the screen goes black, gets and I get a message saying that card graph reset It's very persistent... I have already contacted the customer service at this topic and updated all the drivers for this machine, nothing has had no effect. The old version of this machine I upgraded to run Eve Online without any problems at all... Why am I having this problem with a newer model?

    Nevermind, I decided to throw this piece of s * in the trash and buy a new computer laptop from another manufacturer.

  • EliteBook 8440p: problems of Expansion RAM HP 8440p

    I recently decided to upgrade the memory on my EliteBook 8440p. After reading the form of RAM required, I bought one of these: http://www.ebuyer.com/737970-kingston-4gb-1333mhz-204-pin-cl9-ddr3-sodimm-non-ecc-unbuffered-1-5v-me...

    Once the new RAM is installed in the expansion slot, Windows will not start and crashes just on screen "starting Windows." Then I tried a test of memory using the system BIOS diagnostic tool, but the laptop either hangs around 35% (I left it there for about two hours), restarts, or stops altogether. I thought that I would give to the system try, repair tool but which caused also just the laptop restart. Curiously, when I check the "System information" tab the system diagnostics, the two RAM sticks are detected with current and accurate information.

    I contacted eBuyer, they sent a replacement out there, but I'm having the same problem again. So, I thought I would try to install new RAM in the internal slot instead (under the keyboard), but now I have a BSOD during the 'Starting Windows' screen, give me code error, "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

    I read on some forums tech upward. One of them suggested runs what is called 'Memtest' at startup via the CD, I tried, but the laptop restarts only during the first passage of the test of memory (and of course some loops over and over again until I remove the CD).

    I'm starting to lose hope! Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello:

    See this related post.  You must use a very specific memory in this model, or it won't work.

  • EliteBook 8440p: Elitebook MB error starting on docking station!

    I have Elitebook 8440p and docking station.

    Docking station works well - because of the other laptop works fine with it.

    When I restore default BIOS or Hard reset BIOS - to the first laptop runs on the docking well.

    But next time, laptop does not start on this Doc station - 'caps look' and 'numlook' will Flash 5 times (such as error MB)

    And without docking station, everything works fine.

    I'm starting separately witouth laptop docking and after I put on the docking station.

    It's very uncomfortable disconnect the laptop with reset every time! (

    And launch on the doc for several station are second slover - is this normal?

    Maybe there is a problem in ME BIOS region (last F.50)?

    One, a crazy idea?

    Yes! A lot of things ME region.

    I assembled new BIOS complete with own Intel ME region and first start on Dock Station and everything is done!

    Now everything works. AMT/vPro, TPM and Doc station.

    P.S. Does anyone have Original Full Flash Bios (8MB) for the flashing material?

  • EliteBook 8440p; DM1-3020us: 2x4gb 1600 MHz DDR3L works in Pavilion DM1 but not Elitebook 8440p? But both are supported than 1066 MHz RAM

    I have two Elitebook 8440p PCs that both run an Intel i5 520 m (although one of them has a discreet Nvidia NVS 3100 m, while the other does not and use the integrated graphics card Intel).

    I also have a Pavilion DM1-3020us with an AMD E-350 APU; It's the only other PC I own which takes SO-DIMM DDR3 modules.

    I just bought this Crucial DDR3L 1600 MHz 2x4gb hoping to use it with the 8440p without the graphics from Nvidia:

    http://www.BestBuy.com/site/crucial-2-Pack-4GB-1-6GHz-PC3-12800-DDR3L-so-DIMM-Unbuffered-non-ECC-lap...

    However, it causes crashes and BSOD as soon as he tried to start under Win7 64 bit on both 8440 p PCs.  Also when trying to boot Linux Mint 18 I empty a kernel panic, and run Memtest86 + just leads to restarting the PC within seconds.  Yet, I can navigate through the BIOS throughout the day and it will continue to work very well...

    But here's where it gets really weird - the RAM works perfectly fine in my laptop DM1 Memtest86 + and Win7 64 bit (I use it as I type this).  What's curious?  Because both the AMD E-350 and the Intel i5 520 m only support up to 1066 MHz RAM!

    The only thing I can think is that there is something wacky where RAM is unable to operate at 1066 MHz at 1.5V or is not able to run at 1.5V to all E-350 1.35v support (and 1.5V RAM so that the i5 520 m only supports 1.5V) which itself would be really strange that Micron (which actually manufactured the RAM) States on their website that their 1.35v and 1.5V RAM have actually the same die (a bit like mobile i7s quad vs quad I5S Office) and that both can operate at 1, 5V, implying therefore that the 1.35v product is simply a higher binning:

    https://www.micron.com/~/Media/documents/products/technical-note/DRAM/tn4114_ddr3_1_35v_1_5v_compat...

    Hello:

    Please see this thread, and the discussion that I posted in this thread... and you'll have your answer.

    6550 b has the same chipset as the 8440p.  I posted the link to the site from NewEgg for the memory, you need to buy if you live in the USA/Canada in the discussion that I've referenced to the other person who had the 8440p.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/RAM-memory-modules-that-actually-work-for-HP-EliteBook-8440p/m-p/5570634#M335108

    There are several discussions on this issue if you want to find even more.  Everything is solved by specific G.Skill memory I posted.

    The extent of why it works in the dm1 and not the 8440p, the chipsets are different.  The Intel chipset in the 8440p doesn't support voltage DDR3L.  Comparison of AMD and Intel chipsets are like comparing apples and oranges.

    I also believe that the chipset amd in the dm1 is more recent than the chipset in the 8440p and promotes low-voltage memory.

    I have just return from memory and use the gift card on something else.

    I doubt that Best Buy has this specific memory.
