The POST CARD is a must for PC technician solve probems when the power on self test

Hello

I read a few details on the postcards that it is very useful in certain situations. for example inoperative device can sometimes disrupt the POSITION forcing the machine in infinite loop, which causes the PC to act as dead, no beeps and nothing on the screen.

don't you think it's the postcard is a must for PC technician?  If yes some laptops has no mini PCI ports at all then, how to get to fix the problem if the laptop act as a death in the begin block because an ineffective device caused the laptop to act as a dead and you can't use a POST CARD in this situation because the laptop has no mini PCI slot!

Thank you

Johan

Hi Johan,.

I ask you to contact the manufacturer of the computer for this information. Diagnostic tools and devices are different for each manufacturer.

I hope this information is useful. If you have questions about Windows operating systems, help us on this forum.

  • 850 - 009na M1Z34EA #ABU: CPU fan for the 850-009na feel like Phoenix does not turn down after the power - on self test unless the BIOS is entered

    Hello

    I have posted responses to other posts on this topic, but thought I'd start a new thread to gather my conclusions. I'm sorry for a trial

    This PC is virtually brand new (only a few weeks now) and otherwise perform exceptionally.

    Basically, if the machine is disconnected from the power grid (i.e. the power is off at the plug or the power cord removed), when the machine is supplied then the CPU fan turns over 2000 rpm and stays there. All the other PC that I do this too, but the fan will slow down after turning upward. I know that this is done as part of the POST to check that the fan is running.

    If I go into any installation of seed, start-up or BIOS for example (i.e. by pressing ESC or F10 etc.), the fan will slow down immediately up to 700 rpm. It will stay like that until the next time the machine is started against the cold. If I shut down the PC - watch or stop - but do not cut the power supply, then the next time the machine is started, the fan is still about 700 rpm. It is not to turn up to 2 k + RPM when lit.

    As soon as I unplug, then the next time the PC boots, it will turn to the top and I have to repeat steps - off, boot, enter the BIOS, exit and continue. It is something to do with the cold start.

    Note that I don't have to do anything in the start menu - I for example go to the BIOS settings, exit without saving the changes, and the fan will still slow. It's going in the boot sector that slows down the fan.

    When the PC started out-of-the-box, I opted for the upgrade to Windows 10 during installation. I have read in various places that people had experienced after the upgrade, so I reset the machine to factory settings (Win 8.1) and have not upgraded, but the problem persisted. However convinces me that Windows 10 has been removed completely, as when I went to restore the backup image (i.e. dating back to what I had before the factory reset) there are references to 10 Windows (for example, it says 'Continue to Windows 10' as well as various food options). I do not understand UEFI so I don't know if that was involved.

    I tried to change the power plan options "Processor power management-> cooling system strategy" on the liabilities side, but no joy there.

    I think that the fan and sensors work, based on the findings below. These readings of temp and fan are taken from AIDA64

    After starting cold (current was cut, without entering the BIOS), machine runs dry without load

    Exactly the same thing--starting in cold, but go in the BIOS, do nothing and continue. Once again, no load

    This is after power off and resarting, but to let the PC network

    After the above, I used Prime95 to put the CPU support (use of 95-100%), and after an hour, the readings are:

    Note that even so, the fan was not particularly strong, but it's at 2222 rpm as in the first reading.

    If I play at 4K (the whole point of the PC ) the CPU so far got very warm, the GPU is but his fan turns up as planned.

    In conclusion, it seems that the POST has a problem because it does not slow down the fan after the test.

    I can live with let the machine always plugged into the sector (for example, most of the time) and I guess that's what most people do, but I would like to know what the problem is (for example if it's really something 10 Windows, or a bug in the BIOS/UEFI)

    Thank you very much!

    Explain you a lot of people who maybe have returned their system immediately because of this? Others might judge normal sound. Not irritable average is not coming here to complain. Others might judge her so little. They simply don't like. You will never convince me that is not a BIOS problem. As the problem resolves itself when you enter manually each time. It can be reproduced every time.

  • How to slow down the Power On Self Test?

    The Dell 'splash screen' that allows you to select a function key is visible for less than a second - enuff not long to enter a function key. However, there is an entry in BIOS A02 ("HDD protection characteristic" under "Security") that seems to slow down the procedure, but the next screen appears in Chinese. Obviously not a good solution.

    (1) everyone knows this?

    (2) have you been able to fix?

    Thanx.

    Inspiron 620 is up to the A10BIOS version, then you can consider to update if you do not yet have A02.

    Various updates of BIOS have set noise of fan, NIC and WOL problems issues and problems of memory management, so it might be useful for you. Note that A10 should have all the updates/fixes from earlier versions, so you should go directly to the A10.

    Read and follow carefully the instructions to Flash the BIOS. And keep in mind there is always a (small) chance that a BIOS update will fail and brick the motherboard.

    Is this a problem? What can I do about it?

    Hello Atelier42, this usually indicates that you have a hard disk failure.

    I would like to back up my data as soon as possible, just in case the hard drive breaks down actually.

    You must also make sure that you have the HP Recovery restore set for your system recovery disc in case you do not want to replace the hard drive.

    With this restore HP Recovery disk set, you could replace a defective hard drive and use this disk set to your HP system back as it was when shipped. Then, you could put your data saved on your system.

  • SMART short self-test - on the second hard drive

    HP Pavilion Elite e9270t - 3 yrs old, Win7.

    Became the error SMART self-test short the original drive so I installed a replacement and transferred files.

    I get the same error on the second h/d. I have my doubts that the second disk is having the exact same error and wonder if the s/w test is actually the problem.

    It could very well be the connectors that gives you the question instead of the HARD drive itself. I would run the HARD drive test in BIOS instead of the short test.

    Try this:

    1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer if it is not already connected.
    2. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
    3. Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
    4. Use the right arrow or left arrow keys to navigate the menu selection to find the Auto test primary hard drive option. Depending on your BIOS, it is under diagnoses or tools.
    5. Select self-test primary hard drive, and then press the Enter key to start the test.

    Figure 1: Example of a primary hard disk self test screen


    The hard drive self test performs a Quick Test , followed by a complete Test. During each test, the window displays a status bar and a scheduled for completion

    Let me know the results of this test.

  • replace the 1rent hard drive test item

    I have a laptop Compaq CQ50-139WM.  Unfortunately, I don't have back up discs.  It wouldn't start so I drive some tests to F11.  "Replace the disk hard 1rent test item" is what happens when you test the disc hard self-test.  And thought?

    If the hard drive needs to be replace I can retrieve the content.  The problem is only these last photos added to the top of the Tower from the last photos back.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, regarding the disk error message hard, it sounds like the drive has failed and you need to replace.

    About your existing data, there are a few options, I would say.

    1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files. 

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windo...

    2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

    Hello!

    I n t have experience with Autodesk Autocad and I put t know why you ask if the graphics card will be cooled but on each laptop the CPU, the GPU and chipset will be cooled if it of necessary. If the laptop overheats.

    Maybe you should check the system requirements for the programs you want to install. So you can determine if the graphics card is compatible with the programs.

    I hope I could help a bit.

    Good bye

  • the best game of video card with the power pack for a new 8500 XPS

    What is the power supply best match with the graphics card AMD Radeon HD 7770 for my new desktop XPS 8500? The original of the graphics card is nvidia GeForce GT 640, but then Dell sent me that the order has been changed to this nvidia card is no longer available for a PC Windows 7 XPS 8500. So now they have changed my graphics card to this 7770 AMD which shows a 500 watt minimum power is required, but the 8500 has a 460 watts inside. So I email Dell customer support on this topic, but since I don't play all the games or graphics applications high, 460 watt will work OK or not? Either type OEM AMD Radeon card available from Dell for this computer is the HD 7570 with lower at only 400 watts power supply needs?

    The 7770 works perfectly with POWER 460 block. It is much faster than the 7570. Although the 7770 recommends a 500 Watt power supply, it attracts about 140 watts on average so no need to worry.

  • HP Elite 1090-T H8: seeking your suggestions for upgrading the power supply for a new video card

    I have a HP EliteH8-1090 t who is about a year, but with an AMD Radeon HD 6570 low power graphics card and a 450W power supply. I want to upgrade the 650W power to support the installation of a replacement graphics card.

    I tried to replace the HP 450W with Corsair TX650 and Corsair TX850 food. The system appears to power (DVD drawer opens and closes, the hard disks spin, fans run) with either a Corsair, he's stuck at this point. My system is unable to enter start mode when either power supply is installed - it seems stuck in a mode of seed, and the monitor still asleep.

    Can someone please advise on a compatible power supply for HP system? I'm puzzled by why a simple exchange of a power supply does not work. Just like a record, the system has a card mother Pegatron IPMTB-K (Truckee).

    Thank you!

    No problem. I wish you good luck with it. On a positive note the HX650 is a much better than the TX650 ILA unit internal quality and what I like is the best it's quite fan fan much quieter than the TX650 while helping your organization of cable being modular and help keep temperatures cooler in your computer case.
