TouchSmart IQ500 and Win8?

Hello.

HP TouchSmart IQ500.

System #: FK936AA-ABG

Serial No.: 3CR - B32 (hidden for security)

Model #: IQ518a

What is the position of HP on this machine and Win8?

I have one of these machines running Win8 64-bit, but it often gives problems.

Problems of video driver with the screen going white (which I learned by reading the other messages, is quite a common problem with Win8 on TouchSmart machines), and recently, problems, where the sound cuts just by itself, and there is nothing you can do to make his work again made hear.  Sometimes if you wait awhile it works again, but the sound can fail just half way through a movie without apparent reason.  There is NO sound alert, weird or anything - he just died and you can't have her again from there.  SOMETIMES reboot solves the problem, but only with about a 75 percent success rate.  It isn't the application to the origin of the problem with the sound - no application that uses sound not coming out-even the his Windows in the Control Panel application.

Thus, at the end of the day, can someone at HP please confirm me if this model machine is actually compatible with Win8?

I'm guessing that it's NOT supported at the moment, because I was not able to find drivers specific for this model machine Win8, unless I'm not looking for the right place, and it is quite possible!

Thanks for any response.

  • TouchSmart iq500: update BIOS iq500

    I've recently updated to Vista to Windows 10 Pro with a clean install on a PC HP's TouchSmart IQ500.  While everything seems to work fine otherwise, I am often unable to exit sleep mode computer without manually turn it off and back on again. I read that a possible solution would be to update the BIOS, but I can't find the drivers appropriate or other downloads that apply specifically to this machine. There are downloads for IQ500.es, IQ500.fr, etc. as well as updates for other models of IQ. Any thoughts on what to do next?

    You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

    Here is the page of software and download drivers for the computer.  The only BIOS update is for Vista.  This means that the computer cannot be installed when Vista is the operating system start.  There are no drivers to win 10.  Once again, your best option is to run the HP and Windows updates to see if it solves your problem.  In addition, you should check the Power Options in the control panel.

    I found that I have several small problems after upgrade to win 10.  In fact, I plan to do a recovery system back to 8.1 Win.  At least, there are some drivers for it.

  • Tecra R850-520 - noisy fan - no cpu load - Win7 and Win8 64bits

    Hello. I got the Tecra R850-520 4 months. from the beginning, I have the same problem - noisy fan but no load cpu (about 2-4%) using win7 and win8 64bits

    I tried to change the windows profile to optimize or energy saving. but I still get the fan noise. Set the bios to 3.90. I have re-checked windows 8. and always the pleasure is strong. When no cpu is used.

    Notepad is cool - so I don't know where is the problem. It's probably bad driver for ACPI or for measuring the temperature. I tried to change the position of the laptop - and I found two metal plate on the bottom.

    I think that it is a measure of temperature sensors. When I flip the laptop, and the plates are "we air ', not touched by any material - the fan will slow down in a few minutes.

    Could someone tell if no pleasure of speed will work? or maybe Toshiba updates the bios or drivers for it eventually?
    Comfort for laptops of business is very bad. I SDS - and this is also limited. I didn't assume that Toshiba will sell such a sh...

    If someone could have some drivers or set which will slow down the fan under 64-bit windows?

    Hello

    You can set Windows Power plan settings in order to improve the cooling system.


    Changes in the operating system:
    --> Power Options control panel--> change the parameters of plan--> change power avancΘs--> TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings--> cooling method

    Changes in the Bios (power management):
    Intel Turbo boost Technology

    Changes in the operating system:
    TOSHIBA HW Setup--> the CPU frequency mode

    Try this settings:
    Plan (Toshiba power save) optimised battery
    Technology Intel Turbo Boost (BIOS) - disable
    The CPU always low frequency

    From my experience, this should reduce the noise.

  • Synchronization between XP and Win8.1, both on FF 32.0.1 does not work, why?

    I'm trying to get the new synchronization to work. I have two machines, one XP and other Win8.1; both have FireFox 32.0.1 (and say they are completely up to date).

    Sync on each machine goes to the same account. 'Manage' the settings are the same. The machines are on the same network segment.

    I get to the point where I believe that this is the case: "After log you in, Firefox Sync will begin synchronizing your information on your devices connected.", but nothing does.

    Why am I missing a step, a button, some security settings?

    Whereas, my thought is that Sync has not been installed on this PC yet.

    When you click the button open the Menu ' 3-bar ' , which appears under the white area with the icons above to customize?
    Sign in to Sync?

    Thank you for your help

    It's really good that you posted this question. So far on this forum many people ask the same questions, but all have been at the origin of new machines of Win8.
    Now we have the situation with the old machine Win7 but with Win8 preinstalled.

    Solution for other people needed to proceed to a complete stop and after doing this, it was possible to enter the BIOS settings. Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm

    This situation does not for me so here's a question for you:
    When you start your laptop, I guess you can see the Toshiba start screen. With F2 option is shown on the bottom of the screen?

  • Satellite L300-1AP and Win8 - black screen on startup

    Hello

    My computer starts as usual, the first screens come well and it will also in the journal of the user on the fine screen.

    However when he was usually in the Windows 8 home screen it goes just a black screen.

    The mouse icon is still there and the work, but the only thing that I can get up is the Task Manager.

    No idea what it is? Eventually a failure of a Windows 8 pilot as everything else seems to work?

    Thank you!

    I agree with Timox; It would be interesting to know if the laptop is working correctly by using another system; in the best case with the system pre-installed and pre-configured by Toshiba or Windows 7.

    I m interested also in the installation procedure you install Win8? Did move you from Win 7 to 8 Win or did you do a fresh install?

  • TouchSmart IQ500: Want to reformat but recovery disks don't work

    I'm trying to reformat the hard drive of this computer. I made a set of recovery discs and want to wipe the drive and reinstall, but I can't boot from these DVDs. Windows checked their after that I burned them, but they just turn.  I can reset it to the factory using the D drive recovery partion but I want run dban then restore to factory settings.

    I tried other discs, as a Windows Vista Ultimate, and big boots, so the drive is not the problem, the discs are.  Any thoughts on how to get out of this pickle would be apprecaited.

    Thank you @Erico. My problem is if I switch the computer to someone else, and their car breaks down, they have no way to return to the factory. The drive is more than five years, and it happen sooner than later. Not to labour the point, but the recovery media started on my MacPro. Is there a reason, you think that it doesn't initialize the TouchSmart, or is the HPs just tempermental?

    Second, if I have to live with a factory reset, which will be more wiping of free space, clear enough my old data system?

    In addition, appreciate any thoughts.

    A factory reset, which removes the partitions and then create fresh OEM partitions, should suffice.

    If you still have doubts, then replace the drive by another and take a hammer to the original. It is the approved military method of removal of data from a hard drive.

    Once the trays are broken, no one can recreate the data.

    Each person has a different level of paranoia.

    BTW, simply because the recovery started on the MacPro does not mean he'll run there.

    A HP Recovery Manager inspects the hardware in the computer to verify that it meets HP criteria for the particular platform, it was designed for before his execution. It is by design.

  • TouchSmart 610xt and audio from Skype

    I have a new Touchsmart 610xt. 5.3 Skype video works but audio does not work. Gmail video chat works very well for the audio and the video. Any ideas?

    Solved the problem.

    Skype does not choose the speakers or a decent microphone by default during installation.

    He chose the correct video.

    GoTo call settings and choose the microphone and speaker and correct Skype works perfectly.

    For some reason, google talk was able to correctly choose everything. Its nice to choose both.

  • TouchSmart IQ500: start the cd

Following a statement I found on the internet, I set the boot device main as the CD ROM (by going into the BIOS Setup menu) and choose the CD ROM as boot device (by pressing ESC during the restart of the PC). But instead of boot from the CD ROM, the machine keeps rebooting into Windows and run not DBAN. What can I do?
