Presario C735EL: update Presario C735El

Hi all

I have a Presario C735EL and I improved with success the a Celeron M540 to a Core 2 Duo T7500 CPU. The only missing laptop has is the poor RAM, only 2 GB. I read that it's the quantity maximum supported this is my last chance to know if there are a few ways to improve at least 4 GB.

Thanks to you all.

PS the version of the BIOS is F.34

cerebrosad

Sorry, but no.  There are two memory slots and the ability of each is limited to 1 GB.

I have an older laptop Presario and it suffers from the same limitation of memory capacity.

Remember, at the time XP, 2 GB was considered a LOT of memory!

  • Compaq Presario 2029UK: display crashed after update to windows 10

    Hello

    I just upgraded to windows 7 to windows 10 and my screen is crushed, regardless which data resolutions I choose.

    When I look at the map it reads as follows: Microsoft Basic graphics card.

    I checked for updates and two windows and display card driver back the message that they are up-to-date.

    When I go to the HP site to download a driver, the only driver to my PC is a lightscribe one. Nothing for the graphics card.

    Does anyone know whre I can download a driver to solve the problem, or if there isn't one, how can I get my resolution to be what it was (I don't know what it was but I know that it is not available now).

    My screen is a LG Flatron E1940-S-AP

    Hello:

    The problem you are having is that Windows has installed a generic graphics driver, so you can see the screen and not much more.

    There is no w8.1 or W10 graphics driver for the graphics card to your PC.

    Your model is a desktop Compaq Presario Media Center SR2029UK PC?

    If so, see if you can manually install the latest Nvidia graphic driver and run the W10.

    First of all, download and install this free utility for files.  The 2nd listed file is 64-bit.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    Then download, save, but do not run this graphics driver.

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758/en-us

    After downloading the above graphic driver file, right-click on it and select 7 - Zip from the list of options.

    Have 7-Zip extract of: and leave it to decompress the file in its folder.

    Go to Device Manager, and then click to expand the category of device of graphics cards.

    Click on the graphics card of Microsoft Basic.

    Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.  Select her browse my computer for driver software option and find the driver 7-zip created folder.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the graphics driver installed.

    Restart the PC.

  • Compaq Presario SG2025IL: updating graphics card

    I have a Compaq Presario SR2025IL, which was used a computer to type. Now, he was bequeathed to me and I want to update its graphics to make a gaming computer. Any suggestions for a graphics card?

    Thank you for the additional information and the link with your computer's specifications, @NeelCool.

    Before making any recommendations, I want you to know that your computer is not simply cabable of being a machine good game.  The most important thing against the fact that the maximum memory is only 2 GB, DDR.  It is simply not enough to work with recent intensive video games.  In addition, the only expansion slots are PCI and AGP.  They are very slow.  I'd rather see you save money and buy a newer computer when you can afford it.

  • Compaq Presario SR5518F last updated BIOS

    I have a Compaq Presario SR5518F PC desktop computer.  I plan on upgrading the processor Intel Pentium E up to an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.  I was told before in another thread on the compatibility of processor I need to download the latest update of the BIOS.  I downloaded the update to the BIOS shown on computer SR5518F driver downloads page, but what I want to know is, are there additional updates in addition to that found in the page/downloads of drivers for my S55518F computer?

    Hello

    Luck on the model of PC I guess :-)

    Well, at least you know that it is up to date for now.  I'll pass on your experience to the development team and see if they have any ideas.

    Also, you probably already know, but Microsoft will be dropping support for Windows XP next April 8, 2014 and will provide are more updates, including security updates after this date.  Just something to keep in mind.

  • Compaq Presario SR5506F: update BIOS of BACK command line?

    Hello

    I would like to be able to Flash the BIOS to the boot prompt, or with a USB/CD/DVD based tool. I can't open any OS even from live DVD.

    My Presario SR5507F came originally with Vista installed, but over the years, it has been upgraded to Windows 8.1. He gave us many years of reliable service, but sometimes the last fall the PC began to experience some powerdowns and seemingly random reboots.

    Things get pregressively worse until the PC was unusable. He would go for 15 or 20 minutes and then restart. The trouble began shortly after a Windows Update, so I thought it was a problem of update patch or driver. I tried return that a withdrawal patches nothing helps. I also tried to install Ubuntu and Fedora, but they have the same problems. Fedora is worse than Ubuntu, however. I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1, then 7, and finally the original Vista operating system 32-bit, but all the Windows installations fail at some point during the installation drivers. The computer passes just a restart endless cycle and cannot install Windows.

    I performed memory tests, but they all go and I use a text based operating system, such as BACK.

    I tried to reflash the BIOS, thinking he was damaged in one of the restarts, but since I can't install any version of Windows, the BIOS flash tools refuse to work. I need to be able to Flash the BIOS from the prompt at startup or DOS command. Is there such a tool from Compaq/HP?

    Thank you!

  • Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC: update BIOS for SATA HDD?

    Hi CV Experts.

    In 2004, I bought a HP Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC. Now, leave the original hard drive and I bought a new Seagate 500 GB SATA hard drive. I thought that this would work because the PC MoBo has two SATA connectors. After installation, I noticed the drive is not detected. I checked the BIOS but not hard listed. The installed BIOS is "BIOS Award BIOS Core Version 6.0 revision 3.10 26/07/2004.» What can I do? Is there a BIOS update available?

    Help, please!

    Do more research on this issue, I think that this motherboard may not have native support SATA. You can use ports SATA via Windows after you have installed the necessary drivers. I suggest that you add a primary as hard drive IDE PATA drive and load Windows. Post windows installation, install the necessary SATA drivers and plug the secondary drive SATA for use as a hard disk.

    I'm sorry for all of the early confused communications.

  • Compaq Presario: Card mother SR5050NX update using SP37378.exe

    Help, I need an exe file to return the BIOS on my Compaq Presario, model SR5050NX, product number RX897AA-ABA, build software 72NAv3PrA2 to the specification of the manufacturer. The BIOs vendor is Phoeniz, release date: 20/04/2007, version of BIOs 5.17 string.

    I was updating the CPU so that I can install Windows 7 and I went to the website of Hp on the model SR5050NX and SP37378.exe.Seems downloaded and installed to give me version 5.23, however, when I rebooted the computer, I had the 'launch Startup Repair' which automatically said that he could not fix the CPU. I then use F11, Recovery Manager, who said "Detected Root Cause, current installation failure" great answer? Then, I used my Hardware Diagnostic Tools diagnostics bootable CD for Vista backup and reinstall all the software without result.

    Seems that SP37378.exe screwed up my computer, especially when the computer has worked fine before using the exe file.

    Logically, you would have downloaded the sp37378.exe on a CD and then run it from there. That would be the best avenue.   In addition, WIN7 is not supported with drivers HP on the SR5050nx.  This decision was made four years after the origin of the product Vista OS in 2007.

  • Presario CQ60: November 10 Windows Media authoring tool updated

    Hi all

    I am at a loss to understand why my Presario is not updated to Windows 10 1511. I upgraded from Win 7 to win 10 with no problems at all. It was in late July to early August 15 and after November update was announced I've waited to see if it would come in automatic updates. At this point I don't know what is the best route to take. I did some reading and found that the "media tool" was a problem and that has been corrected (or has been)? Some say to install directlIs what it's going to wipe my settings and applications as the first upgrade or not and the option 'Get Windows 10'?

    I have a pc that I upgraded to win 10 and they have updated to version 1511 through auto update without problem from November and 4 other laptops. I don't understand why this laptop does not receive the update even if Windows Update tells me that it is up-to-date. Can someone explain what the best solution to my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    I used the latest version of 1511 by using the tool of creation of media on my HP 8000 Elite CMT.

    I had the DVD of 64-bit.

    I encounter any problems at all.

  • Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA: failure of the update of the BIOS via Support Assistant / should I update anyway?

    This morning I found that my laptop had not finished closing 8 hours ago. I stopped by pressing the button Off for 6 seconds and restarted. I then looked a likely cause and saw that a BIOS problem was probably the cause.

    I'm went to the site of HP support & with information about http://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c00007682, I followed step 1 and I saw that my BIOS is F.11 21/08/2009.

    Support site told me that I need F.11Rev1/20/10/2014. I installed, rebooted and saw that he had failed.

    What's worse, is that the program Insyde update it says that the 2009 version is updated - see below.

    Hello

    You can manually update the BIOS for your laptop by downloading from the link below:

    The current version available is F.23

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp51501-52000/sp51527.exe

    Once the download is complete, double-click the downloaded file and follow the instructions on the screen.

    You will notice may-continuous display blank for a few seconds, which is quite normal. Once the update is actually the device automatically restarts.

    Note to back up your data before performing the update. Also have your adapter connected to the laptop.

    You can virtually none of the PENRYN 45nm lithography processors put in it, the optimal processor, you can upgrade is the Intel core 2 duo t9500. I have the same laptop and I have the next step down from what is the Intel core 2 duo processor t9300. There is no complete list of the processors that it will support the lists that you will find are incomplete at best even Intel does not update their information. Go to intel.com and search PENRYN in a search more people you can use, you need to compare to ensure that.

    He give some more time, 1/2 day.

    If you have hard to turn it off, and it stops working:

    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 the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    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.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    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 repair disc.

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

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

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

    See you soon.
