Presario CQ3180AN: Presario CQ3180AN

Hi HP.

I recently upgraded a Presario CQ3180AN PC Win 7 to 10 to win and it is powerful.

However, I plan to upgrade with a ssd (i.e. 850 Samsung EVO/Pro) to give a new breath of life!

According to the specifications of the PC uses an Intel G41 Express Chipset - SATA II I believe (?).

The BIOS has an option AHCI to fully support these discs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See you soon!

Ian.

Thank you for the additional information.

Now that I went through the specifications of the computer more closely, I believe that you don't have AHCI in the BIOS.  I didn't know that the computer was made in 2009.  I am not sure when AHCI has been added to BIOS' of HP.

Please click on the button + Thumbs up if I helped you and click on accept as Solution If your problem is resolved.

  • Compaq Presario SR1150NX: Error, disk Compaq recovery dead

    Hello, I have a desktop Compaq Presario SR1150NX of 2005. Everything works well in it and we emptied dust not for long. But then, one day I went to start it it says a critical system file was missing. I'm confused at first. After half an hour, creating a USB disk only to find it didn't work, I then had to use the Windows XP Recovery Console. Then after I fixed it it still didn't start because it couldint find the file. But when I start the computer, it shows me that, if I press F10, it boots into system recovery mode. OT started and told me that I could boot into windows xp system recovery. But in the middle of this, the computer overheats and shuts down. When I tried to turn it on again it gave me a disc error AND when I boot in recoervy, it's just bluescreens. Now when I turn on the computer, it does nothing.

    Is there any where where I could download a recoervy tool to open the hard drive in order to get the data on the drive and get a new drive? Or get a Windows recovery disc?

    Any help is the Apprecited!

    Remove the disk from the desktop.

    Buy

    USB 2.0 for HDD SATA/IDE adapter 2.5/3.5/5.25IN drives w / adapter

    See: http://www.ncix.com/detail/usb2-0-to-sata-ide-drive-adapter-a3-17762.htm

    and connect your hard disk with this adapter to a USB port on your computer.

    When you connect, Windows will ask your permission to run 'check disk' ('CHKDSK') to review and fix any problem of file system.

    I think that the corrupt currently-system files on the hard drive is causing startup problems you reported.

    Re-connect the desktop "repaired" disk drive, and then try again.

  • Video stops or doesn't show even "in power saving Mode" on Presario S4000V

    I have a Presario S4000V with a PNY GeForce FX5500 DDR 128 MB video card. The display does at all when starting or stops anywhere from start up through successful display Windows. When the screen turns off, press any button on the front panel on the monitor to display 'in Power Save Mode press any key on keyboard or move mouse', but none of the measures have no effect.

    Move the video card to a different location or using another monitor makes no difference and I can't find any setting to change in the CMOS Setup or properties which solves the problem of display Windows.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated gratefully.

    Replace the graphics card. Problem solved.

  • Presario stuck in Mode without failure.

    I have a Presario SR5262NX new in November 2007, stuck in safe mode: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160, 1.80 GHz; Cache L2 1 MB; 2 GB OF RAM; 320 GB DD; Vista Home Premium (32 bit); updated for FSP 550W PSU and GeForce 9600GT video card.

    The PC is not usually online but I packed it and he brought with me on a trip to visit his family, where I have the opportunity to be online for a while and download Windows, drivers, and updates of games.  First thing I did when I'm online was to download and subscribe to Norton 360 Ver.3.  He ran a full scan and did his thing in the background very well for a few weeks.  I left the computer on and online during the night two or three times for big downloads.  Last night, I downloaded and installed an update of Realtek HD audio driver from the HP site.  As I did I noticed that the Norton logo at the top of the sidebar gadget was red and said Fix.  Thought I would look into that as soon as I completed the update of the driver.  As the update is complete, it restarted the PC.  When the start-up has passed BIOS, then the bar travel brands MS and entered the momentary blackout before MS ball logo and the password of the user window, he remained darkened without progressing further.  However, the number lock indicator lit up as he usually does automatically as a convenience to type the password.  That's all.  No response to Ctrl-Esc or Ctrl-Alt-Delete.  Can only stop by pressing the power button.

    Since then I could not initialize in everything except in safe mode.  I think I might have a virus, but Norton doesn't scan in safe mode.  I went to the last recovery point and good recovery nothing is done before that, also without any change in the startup problem.  In PC-Doctor (the hardware bootable diagnostic diskette), the PC passes all tests diagnostic equipment (except the failed on start).  There is no available startup repair.  The OS installation disc is in a hard disk partition.  I tried the command 'bootrec /fixboot' in the command line, but 'bootrec' is not recognized.

    I really want to fix this without doing a system recovery to factory settings.  I've done it before and it's a hassle.  And I'm not sure he would get rid of the virus, if it is the problem.  I'm middle-aged, and what I know about computers, it's just that I learned by bumbling along.  I hope that it is a simpler solution than to start.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Yee Haa!  It works, it works!  Reinstall the RAM sticks did the trick.  Thank you, dmhoo29.  Not sure why it works well.  I guess remove the memory sticks empty the RAM, but isn't he purged whenever the PC is turned off?  In any case, thank you very much.  And thanks for the rest of you for your help.  This site is now in my favorites.  I downloaded the updates of virus definitions and Norton did a full scan as we speak.  Everything is cool.

    I you thank everyone once again for taking the time.

  • Problems with Compaq Presario 5BW220 RAM

    This office is 8 years old and supposedly supports 512 MB memory SDRAM PC100.

    Recently, I worked on this for my son-in-law.  It came with 64 MB of SDRAM PC100 and Windows Millennium Edition.  I tried to install 2-256 MB memory SDRAM PC133 maximum amount supported RAM, but it refused to start.  I replaced every 256 MB module with a 128 MB PC100 module and managed to do start.  I expected to read 384, but he will read only 256 MB.  I had not all PC100 256 MB modules to use.  I finally installed modules from 2 to 128 MB PC100 and he left like that.

    I never had a problem in the past with an old desk accepting a combination of PC100 and PC133 modules, so it was a first for me.

    The Compaq Presario 5BW220 have a problem with the acceptance of this combination, and she actually says a maximum of 512 MB?

    This could be useful in the future:

    http://www.crucial.com/

    If you click "scan my system" he can tell you all sorts of things on the RAM.

    I have a system built home (with all the paperwork by moving the boxes...) who had a chip spoil.  I could not remember what RAM took it and I didn't go root through the boxes in the garage. =)

    Their scanning system could not see what kind of memory I had, but he told me exactly what my motherboard could support. (Type and max of 1 GB per slot)  He even suggested several configurations of memory.

    Once I saw what he said, he had, I remembered that I had bought before and it didn't fit.

  • Presario F755US: Sound lost in laptop

    I have a Presario F755US updated and running Windows 10. All worked satisfactorily until today where she doesn't have a function of sound at all and my webcam will not start.  On the taskbar, the icon of speakers said that the speakers are, but no sound. In the control panel in the Device Manager lists the sound input: Conexant high definition SmartAudio 231 as working properly. I also connected via a USB port, that a classified Logitech webcam works properly. However, during the launch it it no longer works.

    I noticed three devices with the yellow triangle and exclamation sign missing drivers. They are: device Base system listed as function of device 5 PCI Bus 2 2; System device, listed as function of device 2 5 bus PCI 1 and coprocessor, function of device 0 1 bus PCI 3 base. All these devices have the status: the drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28), there is no compatible driver for the device, find a driver for this device, click Update driver.

    I tried several times to update driver without success. Tried to find a driver on the HP website nothing helped.

    Is there a place I can download missing drivers for this laptop?

    I think that if I can find and install these drivers all my problems to access the sound and the webcam will be resolved. As well as any other problem lurking around who had yet to aparent.

    Thank you for all your help, suggestions, and help.

    Sadnewbie

    Finally! What I did to go to the control panel - > Manager-> sound, video devices and controllers of game-> Conexant HD Smart Audio 221-> update driver. Then, I chose to look in my computer rather than the auto feature.

    When he showed two pilots: Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 and a just another High Definition Audio chose the latter. He gave warning that it cannot be right that I rejected by clicking on install. He did it successfully. closes all windows and restarted the laptop. And here! the problem has been resolved the audio, sound, webcam and mike all work fine.

    Thought you would like to know what I did to fix my problem.

    Thanks again for all your help, help and suggestions.

  • Compaq Presario C310tu: change of operating system (32-bit to 64-bit)

    Hi, Professor and other experts

    Would you be able to confirm that a 64-bit Windows 7 can be installed on this Presario C310tu if aware of the CPU is changed to a compatible 64-bit, even though he is running a 32-bit o/system?

    Is ther other compatibility issues to consider?  If I find more information about this, I'll let you know.

    Thank you very much.

    Kind regards

    You are the very welcome.

    There is no 64-bit processors that will work in the motherboard that has your PC.

    If you want to run a 64-bit operating system, you will need to get a PC newer than this one.
