Portege R500 - Upgrade processor and RAM

Can I put in my proceror R500 and RAM?
Is possible? If Yes, how can you procesor I used?

Robert

Hello

You can upgrade the RAM.
You can use the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) or 533 MHz 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.
You can use a 1 GB RAM module this is the max!
There is also an internal RAM which can be removed if only one slot is expandable!

With regard to upgrading the CPU.
Usually it s not advised to replace/upgrade of the processor because the BIOS has not been tested with other processors

  • How can I upgrade my PROCESSOR and RAM

    Hello, I use a HP Compaq Presario CQ43. There with APU AMD E-450 with Radeon HD graphics card and 2.0 GB of RAM. My question is can I upgrade my processor and RAM 4 GB because I want to play games. If Ican please tell me how? Please help me.

    You already have the best processor that can fit on your motherboard which is an AMD version. Theoretically, you can go with a card mother Intel and processor, but that would cost a lot of money (more than a new laptop) and give only slightly better graphics. not yet for the games. To be explicit, the graphics 'card' are not a card, but a single chip directly soldered on the motherboard and cannot be removed, replaced, improved or anything of the sort.

    The slightly good news is that you can install up to 8 GB of memory... is the DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM. That will boost the overall performance, but still not make a game by a long shot machine.

  • Updated the motherboard, processor and RAM and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, after upgrade the external hard drive encrypted with bitlocker will not enter the password.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

  • I have a retail version of Windows 7 (home premium). I buy a new motherboard, processor and RAM. Will be my install of Windows 7 function properly?

    As mentioned, I have a full commercial copy of Windows 7 Home Premium and I'm on the point to replace my motherboard, processor and RAM.  Windows 7 will work properly?  If this is not the case, what should I do to make this happen?  Thank you!

    Hello

    With a license for the retail of Windows 7, you can change any material you want.

    You will probably have to reinstall windows 7 as the 'old' motherboard drivers will be always installed on this drive hard (if you use the same drive where Windows 7 is already installed), so that he will probably not start correctly.

    You can even move a license to retail to another computer if that never fails

    The rule is: a license for a single installation.

    Here's how to do a clean install of Windows 7.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-Windows-7-a.html

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    And change a large part of the material probably will ask you to activate again.

    9. If the automated Service is unsuccessful

    (A) if the automatic activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Windows 7. If you get suspended under all pending, then phone back, but this time DO NOT respond when the ansafone asks what service you need (twice). This puts in the queue to speak to an engine and does not appear to expire so fast. The operator will give you a confirmation ID number if they accept that your copy of Windows 7 is legitimate.
    NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Windows 7 on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

  • Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

    All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

    Hey,.

    If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
    In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

    See also this article from Toshiba:

    Finally and above all a RAM upgrade is not a problem. So check your user manual how to do this.

  • P7 - 1010t cto Pavilion: upgrade of processor and RAM memory

    I wonder if the upgrade to a faster processor and the RAM imcreassed will provide significant performance and practice

    Yes, but you must consider a few things first.

    RAM, if you currently have one slot of occupied RAM then add more RAM to fill all the slots does two things for you, it increase the bandwidth to access RAM and what is obvious, give you more memeory for your applications and reduce disk swapping.  Increase the bandwidth for RAM access ceratinly will provide a performance gain just by itself.

    Upgrade the processor is debatable and depends largely on what you use your PC for.  If you simply run email and web browsing then probably an upgrade is useless, but if you run several CPU intensive tasks then a processor upgrade help. Processor intel celeron and pentium are core, i3 range are dual core and the i5 and i7 are four hearts.  Simply the best kernels if you run intensive taks and i5 and i7 processors support the turbo boost, which means carrots redundant can kick in to increase the speed of these processors according to demand.  Hyper-threading (with several processes running in parallel) is also supported by the i7 (maybe some processors i5 as well).

  • Portege R500 upgrade to Win 7 64 bit: lost and no scrolling touchpad driver

    Dear all,

    I have updated my portege R500 WIndows 7 64-bit OS and had the following problems:

    1. as a first step the touchpad scrolling has worked well (with no driver installed) but then it works more... so I tried a driver but
    2. There is no driver for the touchpad (Alps) which is recognized as a compatible mouse PS
    BTW, uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work and I searched a lot on the web but found no solution.

    I downloaded the drivers for VISTA 64 bit, is it safe to use?

    Appreciated advice, thank you.

    Simone

    Hello

    > I downloaded the drivers for VISTA 64 bit, is it safe to use?
    Yes, it s safe you can try to install the drivers for the touchpad for Vista in the worst case, you will get an error message that this driver is not compatible or will not work.

    But look man there is Win 7 Alps and Synaptics touchpad drivers for Win 7.
    The drivers were released for other series of laptop.
    Check the Satellite L500 area for example

    I have Win 7 64 bit drivers.
    Synaptics v14.0.11.0
    Alps Electric v7.x5.303.117

  • Portege R500 - fingerprint reader and SD card reader does not work

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.

    I bought an opportunity Portege R500 (the warranty is still available until 12/2010) and set up with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I installed all the drivers for Windows 7 from the specific model support page. Driver Vista have been installed for all drivers, which are not available in Windows 7.

    If everything works fine, except the fingerprint reader and the sd card slot.

    Fingerprints: I tried al a lot of drivers, even that of the R600 and R700 (such as proposed by someone here in the forum). When I run the Toshiba fingerprint utility, a text box tells me, that there is no connection with the sensor. Authentc software does not work either.

    SD card reader: I tried several SD cards from a card SD 2 GB simple and old (but functional) Kingston. According to the Director of devicce, the driver is correctly installed and running.
    The blue icon next to wireless light turns on and after a "long", a message box appears and asks me to format the card. It takes a little longer and then I get the massage, the card cannot be formatted. I tried the same procedure with a SDHC card 4 GB and a Micro SDHC card in a SD card adapter. Then of course the cards are identified but not usable and formatted.

    There are several reports of other users of the internet, the locations of sd card in computer models laptops different toshiba have problems under Windows 7.

    The two problems have emerged as well under Vista. My hope was, this upgrade to Win 7 solve poverty. Unfortunately remain the problems of th I have Win 7.

    Thanks in advance,

    Michael (Germany)

    Thanks for the feedback second
    By the way; It is a forum for user to user in this community, everyone is trying to help everyone, so if someone wants to say that he would be able to help, then you will get a response from such user maybe you should also pass a few simple threads in this forum and might help other users as well?

    Tip; BIOS update and setting BIOS by default (with F9) can solve many problems... it's worth a try...

    By the way; Win 7 is able to update the drivers automatically. I recommend that you run an update in Device Manager and let windows search for the update.

    I ve got another laptop and installed Win 7 as well. The card reader Vista driver has worked for me on Win 7 OS just a tip

  • Portege R500 - CPU jump and stick to 100%

    I had a problem with my laptop for the last 6-8 weeks, and it would be great if someone can suggest a possible cause/remedy.

    I have a 10 month old toshiba R500 protected (processors Core 2 Duo 1.7 GHz, Intel GMA graphics, 2 GB of ram, 120 GB HDD, Vista)
    It was useless. I already had 2 discs and a new hard drive.

    The problem seems to arise every 2-3 weeks between episodes of the laptop works very well.

    What is happening is the CPU at least 90-100% and stay there for between 2 and 10 minutes.
    Of course, this slows down the computer, but it never breaks down.

    I tried to refine what is the cause, but this happens when two itunes. Outlook or IE are open and arrived with them all open, or open one at a time. This has really left me stuck for what might be causing this and other suggestions of people to another too many open windows, too flash, etc. were not much help because of the many culprits.

    This happened only with itunes open on its own.
    This seems to be the most frequent cause, especially when playing music or sync an ipod/iphone.
    I have all my music on an external drive that could possible was a factor? who knows?

    I managed to note the below information from the Task Manager:

    Process window:
    ITunes is to 36 in the CPU column with 110,00 k in column memory

    Window of performance:
    CPU: 100%
    Memory: 1.24 (of 2g of memory)
    Pagefile: 1815/4313

    If anyone has any suggestions as to what I could try that would be great. People suggest the factory resets and try xp and not vista so much, but if there are other suggestions out there I'd love to hear them!

    See you soon

    > That persists after a reboot, reboot takes about 20 minutes.
    The restart should not take longer than 2-3 min in my opinion, that your operating system is simply confused upward

    I've seen other discussions about the BISO update and it seems that this problem is related to the operating system that you are confused.

  • Portege R500 fan turns and freezes

    Hello

    I have a Portege R500 running windows XP. I seem to have problems with the fan turns very quickly upward and the laptop then freeze it. It sems happens especially when I remove the Cat5 network card and turn on the wireless network card. Toshiba have replaced the Module of cooling for me. I don't know if the problem is hardware or software, the problem sometimes at random, but as above especially when you remove the Cat5.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Much depends on what the 'it', is that you have bought from your friend. If it's a computer with a retail version of Windows 7 64-bit, collect any proof of purchase of your friend or you have to the Win 7 retail and contact the team of complementary pieces of Microsoft. If you have evidence convincing or compelling property of the product, they will provide installation media nd the corresponding key. There is a charge.

    When I click on system and security of the Control Panel, it shows that my CPU and ram are not available.

    When I bought it I could see of it information, but now it shows that they are not available.

    Hello Syed,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem may occur because of damaged or missing Windows files. This can also happen if associated service is not running.

    I suggest you to check if the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service is running as set as Automatic.

    Please follow these steps:

    a. press Windows + R key, type services.msc in the immediate window and press ENTER.
    b. right click on "Windows Management Instrumentation" and click Properties.
    c. make sure that the service status is running and Startup type is automatic.
    d. If not, select the Startup type to Automatic and click on 'Start'.
    e. click apply and ok.

    If she did not help, run checker (SFC) of file system and see if it helps.
    Refer to this article:
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/929833
