• Satellite A50 543: Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I'm looking to upgrade the internal hard disk on my A50 543 to 100 GB at 7200 RPM. The original drive is a Fujitsu 60GM 4200. I have found no information on the Internet on other readers line CMS that have been tested and found compatible with the A50. I need at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM to edit video.

  Suppliers meet usually only with so many laptops on the market, they cannot test each hard drive with any laptop, but can tell if it is compatible with the specifications of the computer and the hard disk specifications and are so confident that their information is accurate that they offer a money back guarantee (excluding shipping costs)

  My question is
  (1) how can I be sure that the drive will work (considering the high international shipping costs) to 100%?

  (2) none of the contributors to this forum may recommend a hard drive internal 5400 RPM or more it has installed on the same model specification?

  Thank you. You are my last hope

  Best regards

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure that works on your HARD drive, so I think the best way is to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Here, you can order all the devices and parts compatible and supported.
  I also found these Toshiba hard disks that must be compatible:
  HDD2187B 20 GB 4 200
  HDD2190B 40 GB 4 200
  HDD2193 40 GB 5 400
  HDD2189B 60 GB 4 200
  HDD2194 60 GB 5 400
  HDD2188B 80 GB 4 200
  80 GB 5 400 HDD2191

  In this case, you can use a disk HARD of GB 5 400 80 but I put t found no information about 100 GB of HARD drive.

• Equium P300-190 - Question about upgrading the processor

  Hello

  I just have a question for my CPU PC Toshiba laptop, I have a can of Equium P300-190 full to give model number if necessary the cpu is one supplied with the laptop.

  My question is I want to upgrade the processor but do not know which would be the best option and there are limits with the BIOS, etc. on board.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Probably it is not known to you that upgrading the CPU is not officially supported by the manufacturers of portable.

  The CPU upgrade is a tricky thing... the fact is that the CPU must be supported by chipset and BIOS.
  Where a party would not support the new processor, the unit will not light.

  So even if you use a CPU that is supported by the chipset (Intel GM965) there is a risk that the BIOS could not support the new processor...

  The laptop was equipped with processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor T2390 (Merom code name) probably the other CPU Intel Pentium Dual-Core family-owned would be compatible, but to be honest, you won't see a performance improvement...

  So in my opinion it is not worth trying to upgrade the processor...

  In my opinion, you need to replace the HARD drive with an SSD... in that case you will get the performance improvement...

• Satellite A40 - question about upgrading the processor

  If I upgrade my Satellite A40 processor with hyper-threading technology to 3 .00GHz, the problem s s don't past not my chipset for hypo threads, should I have a problem on my terms of portable?...

  Hello

  If you open your notebook and do something about yourself, you will lose your warranty.

  Just FYI; the processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation. As far as I know because of this method of connection, upgrade the CPU is not possible.

  Good luck!

• Question about upgrading the CPU for Satellite 1110-Z14

  Hello

  My satellite 1110-z14 has a processor intel mobile celeron @ 1.5 ghz. The processor is based on architecture p4 - it should be a northwood-256.
  Is it possible to upgrade the processor?

  1110-z20 is powered by the mobile celeron @ 2.0 ghz - all other technical specifications except the hard drive are the same... (ati radeon m6 with 16 MB, usb 1.1 mob and so on...).

  What do you think, can I upgrade the processor?
  Can what cpu I use?

  Thanks for your replies!

  Hello

  AFAIK the 1110 series computer is equipped with an Intel 845MZ system controller.
  I found some details about Intel 845MZ chipset on the Intel page. It must be able to manage the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 - M with 400 MHz FSB Processor
  http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/845MP/index.htm
  On the Intel page, you can find the entire family of the CPU.

  But generally the replacement of CPU and the upgrade is not recommended and no one can say whether the OS will run stable after these updates, so be careful.

• Satellite A200SE - Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I am trying to upgrade the disk of 60 GB to 250 GB. The operating system is Windows Vista Business. The new drive is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA.

  1 - image backup of the disk system external HARD using backup/restore Vista
  2. use the system recovery disk to reload Windows.
  3 - the disk is formatted and Windows installs apparently. (From recovery disk.)
  4. after reboot, Setup is aborted with message saying (roughly) "Setup cannot continue because of the configuration".
  5 - as usual the message gives no indication as to the cause.

  All the tips and forums involve replacing drive HARD is simple. Does anyone have an idea?

  Ideas would be very appreciated!

  Hi scamp126,

  I m wondering recovery disc doesn t work because usually this disk still works, you install a new HARD drive

  What you can try is a Microsoft Windows disk. Perhaps that the recovery disk is scratched and the files can't be read properly.

• Satellite P100-429: Question about upgrading the processor

  When I bought this model 6 months ago I got this one with just a T5500 1.66 GHz but since then Intel reduced prices 40% it is me the upgrade option.

  Someone at - any idea how I can update, the following list lists the T7600 @ 2.33 GHz compatible on the Bus speed and execution step by step. The only difference being the memory cache L2, 4MB compared to my old one of the 2 MB that will have an effect.

  Thanks for anyones help.

  Hello

  Upgrading the CPU is a bit tricky on laptops and more often than not desirable and is not possible.
  After the CPU overheating upgrade, it would be possible that don t cooling modules are working properly and the laptop.
  Why? Well well, the CPU new and stronger products, more heat and the temperature would be Monte. The fan table that is stored in the BIOS will not correspond with the new CPU and the cooling fans would not correctly work.
  In addition, upgrading CPU will void your warranty! It's very risky!

  Anyway, looks like you certainly want to upgrade the processor?
  So I would check the chipset installed on your laptop.
  Try to know the details of the chipset and Intel page for compatible processors research!

• Question regarding upgrading my video card

  I have a PC HP Media Center m7674n that I bought in 2006. At the time, I upgraded the system to run with an HD ATI X 1950 Pro Video card (I think that a bigger power supply has been added).

  I still love the computer; However, I want to upgrade the video card of a new product from ATI.

  I love the new ATI, in particular ATI HD 5000 series but I'm not sure on how to proceed in accordance

  what might be the needs.

  Thank you.

  Unplug your computer and open it. Clean any dust using a can of compressed air.   Please keep in mind that your PC has good airflow through the air intake and exhaust.  Make sure that all fans of spin. You may run a heat problem.  Remember that you have the latest version of ATI video card driver.

  PC gaming is usually higher end models depending on how intense the game uses the material.  You have an older model of PC, so I have a new one for the game is not too far from the line.  If you go with a new PC then buy one with the largest video card, you can get.  Software game usually specifies the minimum requirements for the OK performance, assuming that no other software is loaded and executed (not the real world).

  A new video card and 2 GB of that memory can rise to $200 - $ 250.

• question about H8-5134 video card driver

  I bought this and is trying to figure out why the fps on the sims3 is low and someone said to check for new drivers.  the driver listed in the dxdiag is 8.17.0010.1140 as of 11/14/2012 is the amd radeon hd 7570 dedicated video card is not part of the motherboard.

  It is one of the software on the hp site, but it said that its original driver if yes why is dated after the i have installed and the driver itself is higher, then it installed.  and also to be as amd vision has hp logo motor control I can't uninstall and instlal ati catelyst control I can?

  And it is the normal procedure, but in the last months starting with HD 7xxx video cards, HP has been the installation of exclusive video cards, and not too many people know this change.

  It is a matter of concern for gamers like you, who need the latest video drivers.

  Some people come to remove these cards and installation details those who operate with the power supplies in the PC. Then they can use the latest drivers AMD directly from AMD as in the good old days.

  To do this, a BIOS setting must be changed in order to circumvent beeps error video memory before starting upwards.

  Not a big deal, but people do not know either.

  Please refer to this post to the subject to change the BIOS setting if you ever decide to install a video card in retail.

• Questions about upgrading the graphics card.

  Hello.

  I just increased my RAM up to 5 GB. It was before 3GB.

  I have a Windows 7 OS 64-bit. I want to install a graphics card. Should what capacity I buy?

  Thank you.

  PS: To clarify, I want to use my PC for gaming. So should I buy a 1 GB card or more than that?

  Since you don't specify what type of programs you use, no one can say.

  If you use standard Office type programs it will matter a lot, if you use graphics software or games it's something different, and that the software would have minimum requirements on this site.

  Of course if it is a laptop you are unable to pass the graphics

• Why upgrade my video card slow down my CPU performance?

  I have a HPE - 570T. Recently I have upgreaded video card a Radeon HD5450 for a GTX460 nVidia and also bought a 650 watt power supply. I did the benchmarks with the passmark software before and after. Why was my benchmark CPU 8100 before the upgrade and 7400 after the upgrade? Video card has been much faster from about 320 to 2300 for 3D applications well.

  Hi Spencer,.

  I didn't notice that a CPU issue when I installed my GTX 460 1 GB. I'm also using the Passmark Performance (64-bit) version 1019 software.  I have two marks with the same GTX 460 1 GB differnet. A reference point was about 7% more fast (Passmark rating) than the other criterion of reference.  I did RMA the first card to the manufacturer, which explains the two different references. 3D performance was the also the big change for me.  I have improved since the video drivers then perhaps it's time for an another landmark.

  You can send an email to the pass mark and ask what happened.

• Upgrading my video card

  Good then I want to update my video card in my current one... don't know exactly how I would have this approach. I don't want to just go and ask retailers initially that they could sell me something that is overpriced and not that great. Don't know what type of video card I want, but I will provide a few details end my computer and we can go from there.
  I have an AMD athlon II 2 250 processor processor - 2 X ~ 3.0 GHz
  Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
  NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
  Integrated RAMDAC
  Memory total approx. - 1912 GB
  Realtek HD audio
  Here is my card to my motherboard/Bios card:
  -CHIPSET AMD 1200 rev 0
  Card mother name: HP-Pavilion
  Motherboard model: AY014AA-ABL a4310f
  BIOS size: 1048576
  Name: Hewlett-Packard
  RAM - 4, 00 GB
  power supply 250W
  
  Don't know what else I would need to provide before I can even go ahead and think about buying a video card. Oh, I'm willing to spend more than $ 150 too if I need too. 200 would be to much but if I mean play Crysis (which is an old game now lol) and the only way I can is with a $ 200 card so that I don't really have a choice, I guess. I was trying to play the Chronicles of riddick and I saw my system not handling not really the game that well and it's an old game now that made me think I would def need a new video card.

  If you're a gamer?  Crysis is a cpu eater. However, a better video would be really useful, but to support a better video card will require a replacement of power supply.  Max 600 watts should be plenty.

  Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

  How to replace a power supply.

  How to replace a video card.

  www.Newegg.com has a lot of power and video card blocks.  Choose a modular power supply with a performance rating of 80 + or higher. Try to find one that has the same physical dimensions as your current diet. Then do a measure to the inside of your PC around 16 x PCI-E slotso that you know what size card have to be considered.
