Presario CQ61 Max Memory

I bought a Presario CQ61 a couple of years ago and I wanted to replace its sticks of 2 x 2 GB with something a little bigger.

Now, I read online that the maximum memory it supports is 4 GB, but I do not understand if it is a single stick, or the maximum limit that the system can manage total.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Your computer's specifications indicates the overall maximum that 4 GB - IE maximum 2 GB by location.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61: BSOD - memory management error

    Hello

    So, I have my other laptop, Compaq Presario CQ61. For like 5 or 6 months I had a lot of problems with it, like freezes, BSOD-s and not to forget that convenience store was down. I transferred all personal files on the external HARD disk and decided to reinstall Windows (7 - legal copy), hoping that the problem will be solved, but in vain. Finally, I installed Windows 8 Pro, because as said in the forums, people, it may be a problem with the installation disc. For like 4-5 days my HP laptop was running well, all the updates that are installed (haven't seen it lately), I just thought it was a miracle and my problem is solved. Today, he appeared. BSOD. After reinstall or to install both versions of Windows, I had, it is my belief that it is a hardware problem. I tried the memory management test and the result was something like "problems were found, contact your manufacturer. So my question is, is it a problem of RAM or a HARD drive? I've heard both versions, and if someone had in the past has the same symptoms as my laptop and he managed to cope, please enlighten me as well. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Calin1 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked in your question about your Compaq Presario CQ61 and works very well, and then get the BSOD and stop. I recommend to restore the default BIOS settings if you can get it to go to the screen. You could restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. No restoration. Restore default BIOS is necessary because I think that this will solve the BSOD.

    Here is a link to solve the BSOD if the restoration of the BIOS does not help.

    If this does not help at the end of the document it tells you to do a test equipment.

    The hardware test indicates if any parts are missing or have problems.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • drive hard Max presario cq61-402sa

    The hard driveon my presario cq61 402sa laptop is dead. So I need a new SATA drive. What is the greatest player that I can install it. The BIOS seems to be v20

    Hello:

    According to the manual, 500 GB at 5400 RPM.

    I think you could install a SATA II 500 GB 7200 RPM, but the higher RPM drive will reduce the battery life between charges.

    A 1 TB drive is too thick for the drive Bay.

  • Compaq Presario CQ61, unable to boot the laptop

    Compaq Presario CQ61 running Windows 7 Home Premium (build 7601) bought about 4 years ago.

    Computer failed to restart after a period of sleep.  I suspect that it doesn't have an automatic restart after automatic installation of an update - it's only a guess because I have no access to the computer at the moment, but I had a similar problem recently - on this occasion, I got a 'Safe Mode' start - by pressing F8 repeatedly gave me access to the appropriate screen.  I've implemented subsequently by restoring the system to a point just before a automatic installation of a critical Windows Update, and that seemed to do the trick.

    On this occasion the F8 route has no effect on the problem; the 'caps lock' and 'NumLock' continually of the blink just of LED (i.e. not a limited number of times), the fan starts, but there is no other sign of life.  I tried a hard restart, but without result.  I also removed and replaced memory, but once again no effect.

    Can you please advise.

    I'm so sorry I couldn't help you solve the problem, but maybe you could try to free the keyboard, nothing will happen if you do not lose the cpu and tight again. I know that the keyboard one is hard, persevering, best wishes.

  • HP presario CQ61 won't start, blackscreen, no noise, capslock and numlock blinks 2 times.

    Hi all!

    I have a presario CQ61, which does not have anyting when I turned it on. The screen remains black, the fans start to run and I search for CD-Rom. Uppercase + numlock sparkle for 2 times in a row and then a short break and then they start again.

    I tried a hard reset, removed the CMOS battery, reinstalled the memory and the hard drive is not attached at this time.

    I hope someone has an idea of what is wrong with the laptop.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC Freeze issues

    Hello everyone

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ61 - 417SA Notebook PC running on Windows 7 Home Premium. The laptop freezes at random times, sometimes minutes after use or an hour after use. It does not result by clicking on a program or a file. I have printing freeze the problem may be caused by the failure of the hardware, possibly the HARD drive.

    Here are a few observations from the laptop and the things that I tried to diagnose or repair.

    • During a typical blocking the HDD LED light is always on
    • Also had the blue screen and freeze black screen
    • No error message
    • Hard disk becomes very hot
    • Entered the BIOS and run automatic test of the primary hard drive and memory Test using InsydeH20 Setup utility but it went together.
    • Laptop computer has been completely reset to factory settings so it is impossible due to the high utilization of the processor
    • Idle while the CPU usage is generally of the order of 13%-25%, with a peak of rare of 53%
    • The hard drive is a Western digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 2.5 "SATA

    The laptop is not used so wiping back to settings to original wasn't a problem, but I would like to return to a usable level.

    Thanks for any help you could offer

    Mike

    I was certain insistence autour in my computer and I'm done to restore back to factory settings. So far, it has not frozen and seems to work properly.

    I tried updating the BIOS with HP Support Assistant, but it does not work. Hoping to solve the problem I went online and updated my support Assistant. After this success, I then managed to download the BIOS from internet F.15 version I was also looking for. Everything seems to work quite fine at the moment, although there are a few updates to Windows that will not be installed. The progress bar shows the animation download but the installation hangs at 1 / 8. Some items are classified as "recommended" or "important" so any help with this problem would be immensely appreciated!

  • Presario cq61: presario cq61 is not lit

    Hello world!

    I have a Presario CQ61 and it no longer turns. The battery was always low... so I used it still connected to the power adapter... In any case it does now... I tried without battery, to swap the RAM, to use just one bank of RAM and then the other. I tried to disconnect the wifi module... I checked the HD and saved it (it works)...  One thing is... When I connect to the decision-making power, the corresponding led lights for just for 1 second and then turns... I'm sure that the battery is not working...

    I read on the forum and it seems a flaw of the motherboard... but my question is... can it be possible this is a battery issue...

    I mean did the cell phone one needs work and charged battery (or at least with a % of load) connecting with the power supply to turn on?  so is it a problem for the 0% charged battery?

    Thanks in advance!

    Concerning

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Unfortunately, it's probably a problem with the motherboard - the laptop should work perfectly when the AC adapter is plugged in even with the battery removed.

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

  • Max Memory Upgrade for Pavilion a810y

    How can I find the AMT of max memory I can put in my Pavilion a810y?  It of sites that say 4 GB and other telling that to 2 GB.  Is the real answer please stand up.

    Hello:

    Your PC would have the Intel 915 chipset.

    If the motherboard has no memory, each with 1 GB of memory, 2 slots then you're at the max.

    Locations of Intel 915 chipset memory cannot manage more than 1 GB of memory.

    The crucial memory upgrade link I posted said your PC had 4 locations of memory, so that the info is wrong.

    If you upgrade to W7, I recommend you only go with the 32-bit version on your PC.

    A 64-bit system requires more disk space and memory to run as a 32-bit system doesn't work - not double, but, with only 2 GB of memory, a 32 bit OS will perform a little better that will be a 64 bit OS, but who is to you.
