The CPU upgrade failed!

I bought a workstation Z1 base model with the Intel CPU 2120. Remember to update, I later also bought a 3220 Intel processor, which has almost the same features and same chipset.

When I installed the CPU and tried to boot my machine, I received the following:

(1) light remained stable

(2) no red LED shone, blinked or even doing a dance

(3) five short beeps were issued, about one per second

I watched the "HP Z1 maintenance" and Service of Guide (685888-002, LP), but this condition was not covered in the "Codes and diagnosis errors" section on p. 83

Now, you also have a problem with conflicting information. The "HP Z1 Workstation data sheet" (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/product_pdfs/Z1_Datasheet.pdf), the list of 'Available processors' clearly indicates the i3-3220 under "processors available.  In fact, it's the datasheet, I used when you decide to upgrade my CPU.

After the failure of the CPU upgrade, I did more research and found other data sheet (Document

4AA3-9435EEE

( http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA3-9435EEE&doctype=data%20sheet&doclang=EN_G...) which is NOT State of the i3-3220 as a compatible CPU and, in fact, only listed two other Xeon processors as compatible.

After replacing the CPU, my system is now back to normal, but the question (and my pocket) are bugging me. What has gone wrong? Did I waste my money on a HP data sheet?

Yours sincerely,

K!

Flushed with success from the BIOS update, I tried to install the i3-3220 CPU again. I also upgraded my RAM 8 GB with no ECC Kingston HyperX sticks I had to hang out. Why not live dangerously, huh?

Worked! The default display to 800 x 600 at initial startup. I went to the driver manager, said Windoze to update the driver, he said he was already up to date thank you much and demanded that I reload. When I rebooted, everything came pink!

Problem solved!

For Linux users who might come here, you will need to update your BIOS for a Linux compatible one. The list of available updates are here for on the RPM-based distributions:

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5230510&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswItem%253Dwk_123577_1&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

It is a CLI utility, in that you can run, as I have said before, a distribution based on RPM or you can use a USB key as normal if you do install this size. If you're stuck with Windoze, the updates to the BIOS page is here:

http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5230510&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswItem%253Dwk_123048_1&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

Read the Installation Instructions and do not hesitate to use HPQFlash. It works a treat.

THANKS to Dave and Skylarking. After that I have this post, I'll mark it resolved and suggest that my husband buy me a Xeon processor + upgrade RAM for my birthday! Who knows, maybe I'll even take 32 GB!

Smooches to you all,.

  • HP/Compaq SR5710Y CPU upgrade fail

    Hello

    I have a desktop HP/Compaq Presario SR5710Y 4 years with the stock AMD AM2 Athlon 64 x 2 4450e 45 watts TDP CPU.  I want to upgrade the processor to a new dual core AM3 proc to allow more multi - load with most professional and academic applications.  I have an Athlon II 240 rated 65 watts TDP Regor I just replaced in my game with an 8-core machine unlocked (8120).  Telephone support HP says I should be able to use any AM2 + or AM3, so long that the TDP is 65watts or less but all get them is a black screen when I try the swap.  I wonder if there is an update of the Bios that could make this upgrade work.  Moreover, the Athlon II worked well in these kinds of applications in the other computer desktop, and since I returned to the Athlon 64 x 2 in the box from HP/Compaq, everything still seems to function with less demanding tasks.

  • Can I upgrade the CPU on my old Satellite M60

    Hello I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor to my old m60
    and, if possible, which would be compatible CPU model?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I doubt that you will be able to upgrade the processor.
    Upgrading CPU is delicate.
    First of all, you should check what CPU's are supported by the chipset.
    Secondly, the BIOS is not tested and designed for other processors and so this can be a big problem.
    In the worst cases the CPU is not supported by the BIOS and the laptop will not turn on.

    Last but not least a faster processor would generate more heat which would lead to a higher temperature and plant s notebook

    As you can see the CPU upgrade it discouraged and in most cases is not possible

  • Wanting to upgrade the CPU in the satellite L20 196

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum but have owned this laptop new a moment right now. As time has passed I noticed he has aged rapidly in recent months and needs a boost of speed.
    I upgraded the RAM, a matching pair to 1 GB (896 MB showing, guess that's graphic shared?), but still not quite quickly enough.

    My question is, can I upgrade the processor to a Pentium M or at least a faster Celeron?
    If Yes, then what is the best possible processor that will be compatible? Autour Googling, I see I'm not alone on this idea, but all the info and comments where other L20 and not my model 196 in question.
    Do I have reason to believe that the limits are 400 Mhz FSB, 1.5 GHz and 478 pins for this laptop?
    Finally, I replaced and rebuilt a lot of PC in the past. A laptop (my L20) is much more difficult to remove and replace a CPU?

    Thank you and look forward to any comments thereon.

    In General, the CPU upgrade is not supported. More info on what you can read under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    To be clear. Your Satellite L20 is really not the best laptop and on the scale of 1 to 5 when 5 of the best, I give your laptop 2. This laptop is designed for day-to-day activities like Office, internet, watching movies, listening to music and writing emails. So I think that with the preinstalled operating system and well set to own and 1 GB of RAM, it must have enough power for this.

    I don't know what you want to do with this good old classic, but if you need laptop with more power for games or multimedia activities, I think it's time for the new laptop computer.

    Please don't be crazy on me because I did not offer exact answer, but I just want to be realistic and honest with you.

    Hello

    With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
    This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

    Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

    The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
    So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
    But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.

    Hello

    I doubt that the CPU upgrade would be possible. You should read this article:

    This error message is it exactly that you get Windows 7? Normally you get only a low battery notification, you need to Exchange or connect the power supply.

    A lot of people want to upgrade his CPU but to be honest, that's not very useful.
    A newer or faster CPU costs a lot of money, and maybe it will not work. Also, Toshiba does not support the CPU upgrade.

  • Can satellite A350 - I put the CPU to 2.4 or 2.6 Ghz

    Hey, I just bought an A350, and I have an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 ghz processor, but I want to spend about 2.4 to 2.6 ghz. Here are my questions.

    1. is it possible to do?
    2. it is worth?
    3. I have an Intel Centrino sticker on the keyboard. It has confused me to I have a Core 2 Duo or Centrino.

    I have general knowledge on computer, but I'm not an expert. Any help would be appreciated muchly.

    Thank you.

    > 1. Is it possible to do?
    Nothing is impossible, but the question is if it s recommended. In my opinion it s undesirable. First the CPU upgrade will void your warranty. Then no one would be able to tell if the laptop would be stable after these updates and if the BIOS support so correctly. There is a high risk of overheating because silt CPU creates more heat dissipation which would lead to a temperature more high
    Last but not least you won't see a big performance gain.

    > 2. It is worth?
    I think it s not worth. Check point 1.

    > 3. I have an Intel Centrino sticker on the keyboard. It has confused me to I have a Core 2 Duo or Centrino.
    I have a laptop equipped Satellite of the Intel Core 2 DUO T8100 (2 .1GHz) CPU and I ve got the same Intel Centrino sticker.
    The Centrino sticker means that the processor supports this technology, but this does not mean that it's Centrino processor.

    For more details about the Intel Centrino technology, please see this page of Intel:

  • Satellite C850-1 kN and CPU Upgrade

    I recently got my hands on one of these laptops. It has a Pentium 960 b for the moment, but I searched for Intel i3 - 3110M or Intel i3 processor - 3130M CPU on eBay to replace the slower Pentium.

    Both are IvyBridge, identical to the original and both have a TDP of 35W, which means that they should not belt any more heat it does (or at least no more than the fan can handle, because the fans are usually designed to be mass produced and used in many different laptops (, but the same form factor)

    Someone had a bit of luck the upgrade of their CPU in Toshiba laptops? I guess I'm of the same generation of processor Intel should mean support BIOS already integrated into the planks of the BIOS...

    I can tell you that a lot of people have been able to upgrade the processor in their notebooks of Toshiba but fact is simple as this upgrade isn't officially supported by laptop manufacturers and can be done at your own risk.
    Generally the CPU upgrade depends on chipset and BIOS support.

    The laptop supports the Mobile HM70 Express Chipset Intel - compatible and supported processors are Intel ARK page in compatible products section:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-BD82HM70-PCH

    To be honest I don't think that all compatible CPUS are but it s a good start point.

    However, the BIOS must support also the new processor and maybe it's the thorny question since no one knows what are the processors supported by the BIOS because this information isn't out of nowhere.

  • Satellite M60 - issue CPU upgrade

    Hello out there!

    I am a happy owner of a Satellite M60.
    I recently installed Win7 pro and nothing works well.

    I was offered a new processor Intel M770 and
    now, I would like to hear if anyone has any experience changin processor in a laptop.

    The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

    If I swap the processors, my laptop will get faster, or it will explode like a hurricane and disappear into a smokecloud?

    Best regards
    Mogens

    > The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

    Well, generally the CPU upgrade is a really complicated because of the compatibility of the BIOS history, but I think you have a good chance to get the laptop working with new CPU M770. It belongs to the same family of CPU as the old CPU and chipsets support is the same.
    In addition, I think that this laptop overheating not using this CPU of course there is more the dissipation of heat thanks to the fastest performance, but I think that the cooling modules should handle this

    Of course, it s just my opinion personal and everything what you would do is at your own risk.

    Good luck
