• How you can know if you want to compare materials is the problem between the processor and the memory when you have black screen!

  Hello

  If you have a black screen which can be if the processor is dead or memory is dead how you know if you do not reserve memory, the problem is the processor or memory?

  I tried this on my computer, I put on the CPU and I got black screen, I put in memory and I got black screen.

  Thank you

  Johan

  Thank you

  so in this case, how you can know if it is the processor or memory is the problem.

  you have to always have book of memory by you to resolve these issues (to make sure if the memory is problem) what memory or processor its work not at all.

  or it is too nested ways!

  Johan

  From what you described, it is possible that the processor, the RAM and the motherboard are all damaged. Or also the cold of power supply the problem (which could be checked for appropriate using a voltmeter). If you do not reply the existing motherboard then without spare parts (RAM, processor and motherboard) to use in tests, there is nothing more you can do with it to test these components.

• Upgrading the processor in a G62-229WM

  Hello

  I had the wrong streaming video high definition on my HP G62-229WM.  From my research so far, it seems that the cause of the problem is the processor and the solution is to upgrade.

  My first question is whether all the processors listed in HP Maintenance and Service of Guide for my computer model are compatible with my laptop.  I see that some processors are specified for model 1.1 or 1.2 only, but other than that, can I buy and install one of the listed processors?

  My second question is how to determine which CPU to buy.  When should I start adding RAM to keep up with the processor?  I'm confused as to the interaction of these two parties.  I would not buy a more expensive processor, when I won't be able to get the best out there in any case.  I am pleased to also add RAM, but I have no idea how to do to decide what to do.

  Currently, my system has:

  Windows 7, 64-bit

  AMD V120 Single Core 2.24 ghz processor

  2 GB of Ram

  CPU Socket S1G4

  All parts are original.  We want to use this computer exclusively as an entertainment system, streaming video is so that it is the only task.

  I appreciate any help at all.  Thank you!

  Even the processor to the cheese you have is much faster than a Pentium 4 3 ghz. A good cell phone these days is as fast as a P4 3 ghz. Clock speed isn't everything. A choice between 4 gigabytes of RAM and a dual core with quadruple the L2 cache processor is difficult. The specifications of your laptop actually said he had 3 gigabytes of RAM... Why your have only 2? Can you check the memory physically to ensure that both modules are seated? If I had to choose, I guess I would take the CPU if I could make only memory or the CPU. Before that, although I could check the system monitor and see if the system is having to use swap memory. If this is the case, then I would upgrade the RAM and not the processor. Nothing slows a system like having to use virtual memory (swap). I think that a base load for Windows 7 requires perhaps 1.25 GB so with 2 GB, you have not a lot of margin. I would also do a msconfig and get rid of the programs to autostart as much as possible.

• HP 15-r030wm j2x46ua #aba: CPU/RAM upgrade question

  I want to upgrade my CPU and RAM, but notice 2 things.  1st - the processor is a N3520; is not it is welded to the card or can I spend it?  2nd-if the CPU is only N3520 RAM socket, then the max would be 8 GB 3DDRL or can I use a better?

  Try to find the best RAM.  Now that the processor is welded for sure only 3 things I can do to improve performance.

  1 switch for SDS for the OS and the current use of storage

  2. I do not have a CPU fan, so I guess I can install 1 I hope...

  3 - find the best possible low-voltage RAM but still do not know that I can use.

  I saw manual on how to open it and this laptop just crazy when it requires an almost complete dysection = /

  You are right. He is a Bay Trail N Pentium processor that is soldered to the motherboard and a slot single memory with a maximum of 8 GB of RAM. Manual link seems to be down at the moment.

• Some problems with the upgrade of RAM on Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

  Hello

  My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad T500 and its main features as follows:

  -Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz, 6MBL2).

  - 4 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067 MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM).

  -ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256 MB.

  I really need to upgrade the RAM to work with SharePoint 2010 and Windows Server 2008 R2. and my big question is:

  * How many memory locations that I have in my Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

  I read on (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55644#t) that the maximum memory size for T500 is 8 GB.

  Yes, in case if my Lenovo ThinkPad T500 laptop has only two memory slots, so, I'll have to buy 2 memory cards of ThinkPad 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 Low-halogen SO-DIMM, in order to get the 8 GB... and I have to throw my current memory cards...

  My other question is:

  * Is easy to install/remove RAM in Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

  Sorry to ask the second question, but I have never dealt with before material.

  I would appreciate your inputs.

  Thank you for your consideration of my request and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

  The T500 has only two slots of RAM, so the upgrade to 8 GB would mean that your two existing 2 GB modules would need to be removed.

  Replacement of the RAM is simple; Remove the four screws for the Palm and the locations of memory will be under the palm rest.

  See the HMM for more detailed instructions: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70068.html

• HP G62 100SL: HP G62 100SL ram Upgrade problem

  Hello

  I wanted to upgrade the ram on my G62, since the out-of-the-box 2x2gb:

  ( http://www.kingston.com/it/memory/search/discontinuedmodels/Default.aspx?DeviceType=3&Mfr=HEW&Line=G... the serial number of my modules is 598856-001 and 002-598856, so that they are 2 gigabits - DDR3 1333 MHz)

  to them:

  http://www.Kingston.com/it/memory/search/?partid=kvr13s9s8/4

  Their specifications, they seem to be compatible, but when Windows tries to load, it just crashes and restarts and gives me this type of error: Kernel security check failure, then restarts, and so on in a loop.

  I checked the new memories on a different laptop and they work very well, I swapped the slots but nothing has changed. So, the problem probably lies in windows or directly on the configuration of the bios (but I can't change anything in there, I f.37 InsydeH2O, 3.5 version).

  You know a way to solve this situation or can tell you me a type of memory which will work for sure for the upgrade?

  Thanks in advance!

  Not exactly. Some versions of the G62 will accept 6 GB of RAM (4 GB and 2 GB), but this point is largely moot as I understand you are trying to install 2 x 4 GB total 8. In general, you do not want to mix the modules in sizes because you lose operation "dual channel" which is a bit faster than single-channel you can get from a module or modules of mixed size.

  The speed of the memory of your laptop is DDR3-1066. Your 1333 mhz modules are downclocking to 1 066 mhz and a memory downclocks better than others.

  You should carefully read the manual, but if you arrive at the actual parts for the memory modules list it shows a 4 GB module is only compatible with version 1.1 of the G62. 8 gigs will accept so not all models. Other than 1.1 versions are limited to 4 GB of memory.

  You have the processor i3 - 330 M with a dedicated ATI 5430 M video chip with 512 vram. Those who take the 8 gigs (version 1.1) have the 5470 graphics. See pages 19 and 20. You have version 1.0. He maxxes to 4 gigs is therefore peeling when you try to install 8.

  It is a lot of information, but the basic message is that you already have so much memory that can be installed on your laptop.

• HP pavilion dv6-2150us: problems with the upgrade of processor for an i7-720qm on a hp pavilion dv6-2150us

  Hi all

  My friend recently bought an i7-720qm processor used to upgrade hp pavilion dv6 2 1 5 0 US and I

  summer giving a helping hand by making the upgrade.

  Since the 10 Windows running Google Chrome used up to 70% of the processing of an i3 - 330 m power

  processor, it seemed to be good upgrade to improve the performance of the laptop.

  We checked that the new i7 processor is compatible with the laptop (it is listed as supported by the)

  ( interview guide , page 108), and the seller assured us he tested the CPU on some different

  HP pavilion and it worked fine.

  But when I replaced the processor with the i7 processor i3 and tried to boot up the laptop, only the LED lights

  on the front and the setting of the power and volume buttons would light up periodically. The screen was black

  All the time.

  Thinking I might have made a mistake during the reassembly of the laptop I put the original i3 processor back in

  and it starts fine.

  I updated the BIOS of the F.1C version I found on the internet and once replaced the i3 with the i7 with the

  same results - display off, flashes periodically LEDs. The BIOS updated smoothly, and the correct version is displayed in the main menu of the BIOS.

  I am confused on what could be the problem with the upgrade, everything should work. Is there a BIOS update I have

  missed, or the problem elsewhere?

  Disassembly and reassembly are made with care, and we took care to avoid static electricity. All the rest

  on the laptop works well - I am writing this post on the laptop in question with the original i3 processor in place.

  Any help, advice or general guidelines as to what should be done would be really appreciated.

  Thank you for your attention.

  Hello:

  The problem is that if you look in Chapter 3 of the manual, pp 22-23, there are maps of separate used for the dual core and quad core processors system.

  In other words, you cannot install a quad core processor in a Board that originally had a dual core processor and vice versa.

• The Task Manager does not recognize the ram upgrade

  Hello HP community!

  Well, it seems that I have a problem with my ram upgrade. My system came with 2 GB of ram, and I had to upgrade (with another 2 GB), I am using programms like autoCAD, 3dsmax, photoshop, etc who have special needs on the RAM. Here's the problem; While the bios memory being recognized (4096 MB), what the task manager of the total physical memory is only 2046 MB! I also did the update to the BIOS, but it didn't work. The new memory I plugged in has the same features with one installed. The only difference is the manufacturer, the new is Kingston.

  Here are the characteristics of my system;

  Operating system installed: Windows Vista 32-bit

  Product name and number: HP Pavilion dv7 - 2030ev

  • Motherboard: Quanta 3624 intel PM45 (supports up to 8 GB of ram)
  • CPU: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40 GHz (64-bit Architecture)
  • RAM: 2 GB DDR2 PC2-6400 800 MHz 6.0 CASE Samsung latency
  • BIOS: F.46

  The RAM I bought is:

  Latency CASE of Kingston DDR2 PC2-6400 800 MHz 2GB 6.0

  (The package information to be exactly: KVR800D2S6 / 2GB PC2 - 6400 CL6 SODIMM 200 - Pin)

  I also mention, I tried the only Kingston on a Slot and the system worked without any problems...

  I would be so grateful if you could help...

  Thank you in advance,

  Nick Chatzikonstantinou

  Hi, Nick:

  One of our experts at the top of the forum (DavidPK) page suggested that you look at this solution to the question of memory you meet...

  I quote David:

  "In the system startup tab Configuration screen, the Advanced Options, it proved that there is a check mark in the maximum memory box.  Once removed and the applied change, Windows recognized all the Ram (less the reserved) after the reboot. »

  If please give than to try and post back and let us know if that frees a memory system for you.

• Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

  All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

  Hey,.

  If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
  In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

  See also this article from Toshiba:
  [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

  Finally and above all a RAM upgrade is not a problem. So check your user manual how to do this.

• I have an iMac7, 1 with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz, 2 GB memory, 500 GB storage, iOS10.6.8 and can update in 10.11.2.  must I do cela or are there problems with the upgrade?

  I don't know about other issues. There are always 'problems' with any upgrade. You weigh against the benefits. I know that you need more RAM. At least 4 GB, maybe more if you can. Don't forget that this system is produced at a time when most of the machines have + 8 GB RAM and when Apple said 'minimum' they really mean it.  I recently inherited a MacBook that has 2 GB of RAM and the Mavericks. When I checked the memory, the use of the system was using 1.95 GB = nothing to run applications!

• HP205 G4 Intel i35005u: problem with RAM upgrade

  Hello

  I recently acquired a HP205 G4 laptop with 4 GB of RAM installed in one of the two slots.  It has a free slot and a max RAM 8 GB capacity.  As I have a 4 GB stick lying around, I thought I would be a free upgrade of RAM and so I placed in unoccupied housing and booted up.

  My problem is that neither information system or UEFI sees the newly installed stick and States I have still 4 GB of RAM, however, Speccy see the two 4 GB sticks and indicates he has 8 GB of RAM.  It may or may not be relevant but Speccy also States that the system memory is single channel.

  The sticks are Samsung and the two DDR3.  They, however, have different bandwidth (PC3-10700 & PC3-12800) and voltage (1.35 & 1.5).  Now as I know the speed will be simply fixed by the slower stick and so both should work.  This leaves the tension, but if it was a problem, I don't expect Speccy to see the extra stick (1.5V) at all.

  So I wonder, is tension the key culprit?  Will be 1,5 volt RAM spare part - I have also a 2 GB stick - I simply does not work on this motherboard?  Is there something I missed or can I do to get the system to see what sees Speccy and thus use 8GBs?

  Cheers for any help.

  Do not use this old memory in this new laptop. If you want to run 8 gigs, get a second identical DDR3L-1600 module. Even if she would go with the DDR3-1066 RAM at this speed, do you really think 8 gigs clocked at 1066 is slightly better than running at 1600 mhz 4 gigs? I say no. There is also the question of the timing of the CPU to memory cycles cycles. You can really shake things up and cripple performance trying to use memory that runs at a different speed that the motherboard was designed to use. The motherboard is to protect themselves by refusing to see and to try to work with this alien memory.

• Since my 10.0.2 upgrade on my iPhone 5 my Wifi doesn't connect anywhere except home! This has never been a problem in the past I have connected everywhere wherever I was going to automatically! Is - this rare?

  Since my upgrade to 10.0.2 on my iPhone 5 my phone only connects to Wifi when I'm at home (cancelling the purpose of a MOBILE phone). This was never a problem in the past a my phone automatically and I received and could send emails, messages and use messenger etc automatically. Is - this rare?

  Hi John,.

  Please visit Apple support communities.

  I see that your iPhone 5 is not connect to other Wi - Fi networks after update to iOS 10. We offer troubleshooting tips.

  Since your wireless network is working, but you cannot connect to other networks, start with the next step in If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi-Fi network:
  
  

  Reset your network settings. Tap Settings > general > reset > reset network settings. This also resets the Wi - Fi networks and passwords, cell parameters and VPN and APN settings you used before.

• Major Outlook and timing of the problems after the upgrade of the El Capitan

  On the advice of the Apple support (phone call) I recently upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan 10.11.6.

  I have many problems. The two largest are (1) stands (2016) Outlook and frequently "must be closed; (2) calendars quickly goes to "not responding" after the launch and shows multiple entries for a single event. Example: I have a class to repeat each week (when I was in Yosemite). Before the upgrade, he showed the event once a week. After the upgrade, it it shows 13452 times the same day. I followed the advice on these topics, but nothing has worked. Similarly the calendars on my iPhone5 freezes as well.

  Hello Steve,.

  Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I have a problem with your MacBook Air use after update is not what you expect. Based on what you said, it seems you can experience some software related issues, and here's how I recommend refine you and resolve these issues:

  1. first of all, try to run a quick with the disk utility tool test, as this can correct simple problems that you encounter. Then restart normally and retest your problems.

  Disk utility (El Capitan): a disc repair

  2. use Mode without fail to start up your Mac so that it performs certain checks, remove files from the system cache, check your startup disk and trying to fix problems if necessary directory. Test mode safe questions, then restart normally and test again.

  Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning
  Graphics performance limited in recovery of OS X or in safe mode

  3. you can find out if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

  How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

  See you soon!
