the upgrade of processor in compaq presario cq4010f

I have a desktop Compaq Presario CQ4010F running Windows 7 Home premium 64 with AMD sempiron chip factory, and I want to improve. I checked page plug product and learned that the motherboard is the manufacturer name: Pegatron M2N68 - LA (5 NARRATED), and HP/Compaq name: NARRA6 GL6. Then I checked the processor upgrade information and learned that it supports the image of socket AM2 + AMD Phenom II chip. I bought the AMD Phenom II X 4 940 3.0 GHz true quad design 8.0 MB total cache chip core. I've installed the chip, and while I was there, I added 1 GB of ram (leading to 3 GB total) just to be on the safe side. When I turned on the computer it tells me "unsupported processor' and turns off. I cursed loudly and ran things. Then I put the old chip in the back and it works fine. I checked the BIOS (the BIOS basic version: 6.0 BIOS revision: 5.54).  The new memory appears, so it's true.  I called a local computer repairman who did work for my mother in the past, and he told me that I have to upgrade the BIOS. I went to HP's download page, but there is no update of the BIOS for my machine. Then, I called 1 800 HP customer/tech support number, but had difficulty in communicating my problem because nobody speaks English as a first language. I cursed even louder and expelled more than things. My cat is still in hiding.

My question: How can I get this chip to work? I really need to upgrade the BIOS? If Yes, where can I get the said upgrade? If this is not the case, how can I get the current BIOS to recognize the new CPU? How to coax my cat (grey and white tiger striped, 2 years, version 4.5) out of hiding?

Help, please! I want to play Skyrim.

Thank you!

You can post a screenshot of what you mean. ?
There should not be a difference between the two.

Computers HP don't require processors HP. The processors are manufactured by AMD and Intel.

Just compare the specifications of each against what you read in the text of presentation upgrade CPU on the portal of the web HP supported on your motherboard.

  • The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

    Hi all

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

    Hello:

    If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

    Here's how.

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    Hello Netbuckler,

    I understand that you are interested in upgrading the processor and graphics card on your laptop, is that correct? I will try and provide you with information that needed to get there.

    The processor can be improved in this particular notebook. If you go to page 91 in the maintenance manual , it will give you a list of processors and it will show you the steps to do it yourself. I don't know what your current status of security with this laptop, but if you are still covered the upgrade of the processor warranty this I just want you to be aware.

    Now and then when you're dealing with the graphics card it is soldered to the motherboard if you will not be able to update. If you really want to improve the graphics, as you go through the motherboard. There is a list of those on page 81 in the owner's manual as well.

  • Can I upgrade to SSD with Compaq Presario V3000? If so, how to activate the AHCI?

    I have an old compaq presario v3000. The hard drive failed and I would like to upgrade to an SSD if possible in the hope of improving performance. My laptop does support an ssd? Also, I read on a ssd that bios have an option to enable the AHCI? I don't think my bios has this option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    The service guide shows only 2 GB maximum memory installed.

    SATA IDE to AHCI passing via regedits

    For safety reasons make registry changes by hand instead of download the script.

  • HP Compaq Presario CQ42: can I upgrade cpu? HP Compaq Presario CQ42. Core i5 430 m for core i5 3320

    Hello HP.
    I have a question. My laptop is HP Compaq Presario CQ42 and core i5 430 m processor. I want to stretch cpu for the third generation of cpu and the fourth generation cpu. I found it core i5 3320 Mr. Peut work it core i5 3320 m cpu? It can better performance?

    Hello Angaahai ;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about upgrading your CPU and wanted to help.

    This link is to HP for your PC product page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/Compaq-Presario-CQ42-Notebook-PC-series/4121902/model/4149187/manuals

    If you right-click on the entry of l maintenance and Service Manual, you can download this PDF on your PC.  On page 94, it lists the compatible processors, and on the next page, he begins the removal and replacement procedures.

    Unless you did something like this many times before, I would advise to do it yourself.  It is very hard to do and is easy to break something in the process.  It would be better to have a business service center works on laptops do this for you.

    Good luck

  • The upgrade chart/processor Intel on Satellite Pro M70

    OK, let's go with my first assignment. I bought a Satellite Pro M70, a year ago. It has a graphics chip (intel gtl 950?), I just would like to know, if it is possible to install a graphics card, ati or nvidia.

    Furthermore, is it possible to upgrade the processor? and what about warranty if the upgrade and installation of all this?

    Here, I'm going with my first reply you ;)

    No, it is not possible to s. The technology of the laptop is different as desktop computers and therefore you will not be able to update the graphics card.

  • Upgrade memory of PC Compaq Presario SR2177CL Desktop problem

    I have a Compaq Presario SR2177CL desktop PC.  I checked the specifications of the product on the HP site and this is what it says for the record:

    Attributes Installed memory 1 GB Maximum allowed 4 GB * (4 x 1 GB)
    * Actual available memory may be less

    Speed supported PC2-4200 MB/sec Type 240 pin DDR2 SDRAM

    I went to newegg and purchased:

    When I put the pair of DIMMs in the pc, it won't post more.  The screen is still asleep and I never see the bios screen, I can't go in the bios configuration, or whatever it is.  As soon as I remove the pair, it works again.  The PC came with 2 512 MB DIMM in the slot 1 and 2, so I tried to delete those and replacing them with the pair I bought and got the same results.  I buy the bad memory?  I see it should work.

    Thanks in advance for any help and ideas.

    Finally!  I decided to try the suggested crucial.com memory, I went to the city and found in the store of the local computer.  It is plugged in and it works like a charm.  NewEgg gave me a credit on the memory of others when I called them, so everything worked.

  • HP envy h8-1534: the upgrade of processor AMD, Confusion

    My motherboard is the current model:

    In the treatment of the upgrade information section, it lists supported processors.

    Supported for my motherboard is AM3 - b.

    All upgrades processor, when I search on ebay, amazon and newegg, appear as AM3 +.

    When I look for the FX-8150 (Zambezi) processor, it redirects me to the FX-8350 Black Edition Vichera 8 - Core.

    I would buy and use the 8-Core Vichera.

    My question: is he supported by my motherboard?

    The HP website seems to suggest it is but I have friends and other sources who say that maybe it's not.

    Please clarify this issue for me.

    Thank you.
