Presario V6000 upgrade

I have a Presario V6000 with a map of the BB30 Quanta System. I would like to upgrade (max) RAM and CPU, if possible. I know that some processors are welded in. I would also like to upgrade the hard drive. Does anyone know which will support the Board of Directors/system (Vista Home Edition)? I'm doing this laptop welcome my school work until I can afford what I need. This laptop is OK for everyday activities, but my classes are demanding that I now install a Vista virtual machine (25 GB HD space/512 MB RAM) and a virtual machine from Windows 7 Professional (60 GB HD space/512 MB of RAM). Any suggestions, other than the obvious that I can not afford until next semester. Thanks in advance, John

John said we really need to know the exact model number. The hard drive is not a problem. Any V6000 will have a SATA drive as big as the market also sells long that it is a model of thickness 9.5 mm. Some of the drives 1 TB are 12 mm and they will not match. The RAM is another story. Earlier versions of the V6000 AMD (up to model V6499) 'officially' max to 2 GB (but it will actually have 3) and then later max to 4 gigs. It is laptop memory DDR2 667 DDR2 800 will work The CPU is not soldered and can be replaced/updated. Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

Page 71 lists supported processors. As long as your existing processor is 64-bit capable, that I wouldn't bother with the upgrade since the V6000 is the same machine as the Pavilion dv6000 which has video/chipset issues that could be aggravated by additional heat.

    original title: vista to xp? HW

    Hello

    First thing to do is to make sure that XP drivers are available for your model computer.

    Search drivers XP here model number: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Then, buy a XP disk and license. You will have to search in online stores (beware of scams, piracy!), for old copies computer stores, etc.

    Then, if you can buy XP, perform a new installation of XP, Vista operating system cut the hard during the XP installation.

  • Presario CQ5320F: upgrade the processor 'not supported CPU.

    I was looking to upgrade the CPU on my Presario CQ5320F, for most popular processors in the list on the HP site for my computer. So I bought one, actually two, of the AMD Phenom II X 4 processors (Deneb). When I installed it, them, I get a message saying that the CPU is not supported. I don't know how I got it done, but it does not work. I bought two of the processors by mistake. The code on the processors that I bought is "HDZ955FBK4DGM", which seems to be the processor in the list of compatible processors on the HP website.

    -AMD Phenom II X 4 9xx/9xxe/8xx Quad-Core (Deneb)

    -AMD Phenom II X 3 Triple-Core (Heka) 7xx/7xxe

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you for giving me the answer. I guess it's time to look for a new motherboard now.

    No doubt, it would be nice if someone let HP know this, so people like me would not try to use this processor with the motherboard.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5600F: upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6)

    Hello. I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5600F which took a power surge. I use Windows 10 Pro and I'd like to update the Pegatron M2N68-(Narra5) motherboard M2N68-(Narra6). I saw some of these for the sale of the mobo. Can someone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find the drivers and perhaps installation information. The motherboards I've seen are either used, rebuilt, or "other nine" with no accessories.

    Hi @stan7926,

    Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that you need information on an upgrade of the motherboard of your PC. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    A remarkable work was done by your little research on upgrading motherboard for your desktop PC before you post your question in the forums of HP. It's always a great pleasure to work with tech-savvy and technically customers sounds like you. Kudos to you for this. I am amazed at your technical skills and levels of technical knowledge.

    First of all, the specifications are very clear on the HP website. It supports "M2N68-(Narra5)" with the drivers, BIOS and other updates available on the HP Web site. About the upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6), it may be possible, but before you buy the product, I would suggest that you contact a technician on-site that this motherboard is not listed by HP as a compatible Web site.

    I thank you greatly for posting your question on the forums of HP and for giving us the platform to help you. You are a customer of HP and we greatly thank you for doing business with HP.

    It is important that you are having problems with the bios and driver incompatibilities on the motherboard and windows 10 Therefore, it is recommended that you contact a local technician and check the compatibility of the motherboard before making any attempt to improve it. We cannot have the bios for it and corresponding drivers. Once again, you will need to visit the websites of 3rd party hardware manufacturers to update the bios and other drivers.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes. If it helps, please mark this message as 'accept as a Solution. If you need help, let me know and I will gladly do everything I can to help. If you want to say 'Thank you' for my efforts help, click on the button 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos. I really hope that the problem is solved without hassle and things work fine for you.

    Now carefully and have a great week ahead.

    OSHDK, welcome to the forum.

    You have the maximum amount of memory installed.  However, you can perform a system recovery:

    This will return your computer in its original configuration to increase the performance of the system.  Installing and uninstalling programs leave remnants of them, which, over time, will begin to slow down the computer.  Must make a backup of your personal data before you start.

  • Compaq presario v6000 v6409tu disk hard bios self-test fail

    Hello

    Windows xp no my pc compaq v6000 not starting and bluescreen showed a couple of times. I ran the BIOS (phoenix) disk hard diagnosis and the test failed. When I opened my HDD I noticed green rust as deposits into the connector on the hard drive. After cleaning with a brush, computer loaded XP successfully. But an hour later, while I was surfing in mozilla suddenly the mouse pointer started late and showed computer blue screen saying that windows has been closed down to prevent damage.

    I would be grateful if someone can tell me if it's a software problem or hard drive error. If I need to replace my hard drive, what are my options, for example. rpm, capacity, provider? Thank you.

    The only way you could have rusted copper into the connector on the hard drive is if liquid got in there so I am reluctant to try to speculate how much damage has been done. I remove the hard drive and connect it to the outside to another computer and run chkdsk on it to see if the drive itself is bad. As long as there is a problem on the part of connector and the interface with the motherboard cannot really trust the onboard hard drive Diagnostics. You could also get an own another new hard drive adapter.

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/new-Compaq-Presario-C700-F500-F700-V6000-SATA-laptop-hard-drive-connector-/161297513053?PT=US_Drive_Bay_Caddies & Hash = item258e14ba5d

    If it does not turn on the hard drive is bad, you can replace it with any laptop SATA drive no more than 9.5 mm thick.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145587

    Above is a good thing. It is slim (7mm) but it will still go into the caddy and connect to the motherboard with the connecting piece. If the hard drive itself is always good, and you replace the connector piece but he always bluescreens, so I would not spend money on a new hard drive. I would say that there was damage to the motherboard.

  • Compaq presario sr5518f upgrade processors

    First of all, I apologize if I do not write in the correct section.  A little new here.

    in any case, I'm going to completely overhaul my Compaq Presario SR5518F.  I'll get a new graphic/video card, power supply, and processor.

    Speaking of the processor, I have a question for someone who would know the upgrade of processors.

    The specs of my PC (which can be accessed HERE) said I can move to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7xxx.  I'm looking at upgrading to an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 processor which has close to 3.0 Ghz (2.8 to be precise) of the operating speed.

    The question I have, is the Intel Core 2 Duo processor E7400 compatiable for my Compaq Presario computer motherboard?  I have never replaced or upgraded forever, and so I want to make sure I'm making the right decisions when buying upgrades.

    I would appreciate your help or you guys could give me advice.   Thank you and have a nice!

    Hello

    As you can see from the following link:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01386897

    It supports Core 2 Duo E7xxx (Wolfdale-M) CPU means that it will support CPU E7400 but you must update the BIOS to make sure.

    Kind regards.

  • Compaq Presario SR2009UK - upgrade Windows 7

    Dear all

    I have a Compaq Presario SR2000UK and am looking to upgrade to Windows 7

    This machine had Windows XP installed, but since the end of the Support I got in trouble, decided to upgrade to Windows 7.

    First of all, I updated the Bios on the Hp website 3.24 Version dated 2007-06-29

    Then using clean installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit SATA hard drive.

    Installation went perfectly with 2 partitions (reserved system & Operating system) windows implementation

    Once windows had started active device manager and all the drivers were like OK.

    Restart the computer several times since the Start button of windows without problem.

    Now comes the question

    What computer was off nights windows does not restart.

    1 press button and the bios blue screen power light, I hear the startup hard drive work then the screen goes black and turns on the windows logo, but after a second the screen flashes and blue bios screen on again once him lights up the screen Windows Recovery Manager saying computer failed to start and get the 2 options.

    1 Let's repair (recommended) windows

    2 start Windows normally

    Option 1 passes through the long process of repairing then windows starts.

    Option 2 tries to start windows but crashes before the color of windows logo appears.

    My other option is to restart, and then press F8 for advanced options, and then on starting in safe mode that work very well.

    Restart windows start button and the machine is in reverse OK until it is turned off for a few hours, then I'm back to the same problem.

    Have you checked the battery Cmos and is OK

    Think there may be a Bios problem but couldn't find any version after 3.24

    Thank you very much John

    Specifications:

    A look at the motherboard and I see at least 3 capacitors that are starting to develop at the top so that you can not see the cross in silver leaf.

    Try things during these days and the problem now is getting worse.

    Thanks for all your help and your will has now seek a cheap replacement card to match the processor and ram.

    Concerning

  • Compaq Presario SR5710F upgrade the video upon hearing the motherboard cannot handle high power supp

    What is the best graphics card upgrade which can my Compaq Presario SR5710F can support? I'm ready to upgrade the power also, but hear that the motherboard do not put anything above 350 watts regardless of power.

    You can install any PCIe x 16 video card you want. The limiting factor is going to be the power supply. More power the longer video card POWER supply. About what you hear about the motherboard, I found nothing to that effect. To qoute request-leo,' I heard a matter of concern that a power high power can somehow 'forcing' the power on the computer, resulting in overheating and burnout. Nothing could be further from the truth. A power supply provides power in response to the need; It does not matter where power grow. If your computer only needs 100 watts, then a 500 Watt power supply will only provide 100 watts. Why have a 500 Watt power supply? For the use of 'pic' (sometimes material will require 'sudden' power, as at the beginning upward or under heavy load) and for future expansion. »

    It is better to have too much power too littleand to get the right size. By that I mean the physical size - come in many standard sizes out there, and they are not interchangeable.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5500Y: Compaq Presario SSD upgrade

    Original 500 GB drive HARD shows signs of failure eminent.

    I cloned successfully the reader to a new 400 GB disk using NORTON GHOST.

    (I know this drive is smaller than the original, but less than 30GB was used on the original)

    Anyway, the new drive would not start.

    Assuming that the problem may come from the BONES associated with the license, I ordered all of the Compaq recovery disks.

    Meanwhile the recovery disk set arrive, I bought a 120 GB Sandisk SSD.

    (Again, I know that the 120 GB SSD is smaller than the original 500 GB HARD disc that came with the computer, but I do not plan to fill even 50%).

    Anyway, The Recovery Disc Set arrived and I tried to use it on the new 120 GB SSD Sandisk card.

    The process seems to be okay, all 3 discs of the series seem to copy and then the computer restarts and a screen displaying the files fly across the screen from one folder to the other stays there forever.

    I waited 15 hours and came back and I can still see:

    Fly across the screen, files from one folder to another folder.

    The drive activity light flashes, but of course, there is a problem.

    Some possible facts/related information:

    The SSD is detected in the BIOS.

    The good SSD checks, a "Smart" BIOS Diagnostics

    I can't find anywhere in the BIOS to disable the AHCI, it only shows SATA or IDE.

    Current Bios version is 5.5.5, and I couldn't find an updated BIOS anywhere.

    Current memory (RAM) is 4 GB (2x2gb), which was an upgrade because the machine was purchased.

    Can someone tell me please how to get beyond this problem?

    Greetings,

    I use the Paragon Professional Disk Imaging software.

    Try Macrium Reflect free. Disk cloning is also included in the free version.

    See you soon!
