Very slow Compaq Presario Desktop!

Hi, I'm all not that saavy computer but I know enough to know that my computer must be running a lot faster.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium-2007 Microsoft Service Pack 1.  It is a model of CV #SR2173WM with a processor AMD Athlon 64 3500 + 2.20 GHZ with 1 GB of RAM - type 32-bit system.  I suspect that runs 47 programs with one GB of RAM can be part of the problem, and I'd love to delete as much as I can, but I don't know what programs are absolutely necessary to the functioning of my system!  I'm afraid to remove something essential.  What should I do?  Help, please!

    Graphics card and all the drivers necessary to convert the Compaq Presario SR1320NX Desk Top of Windows XP to Windows 7, which is compatible with the Aero display system?

    baseball2013,

    Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR1320NX desktop computer and its (salmon) K8S - THE motherboard. According to the specification, this model was presented for sale on or around 12/01/2004 and is unlikely to be fully compatible with Windows 7. At a minimum, you will need to install a Windows 7 "Aero" capable AGP 8 x video card. You may experience other problems as well. After I installed Windows 7, update complete including SP1 and all the updates/drivers that it provides.

  • SR5610F Compaq Presario Desktop - Power Supply Upgrade

    Currently, I have a stock SR5610F Desktop and I installed a new graphics card without realizing the low power supply. I wish to find a new power supply at least 350-400W PSU that can fit into this model of Tower.

    I'm having problems trying to find a suitable diet:

    1. it must be integrated into the tower itself.

    -I feel a bit stupid now, I forgot that the plate itself does not affect the power supply. -

    If anyone has any suggestions for a diet for this computer, help would be greatly appreciated (infinitely).

    -Drake

    This Corsair should work, but there are other choices.  It is a model single rail with 34 amps on the 12 volt bus.

    Regarding a new video card, this block of power SUPPLY Corsair will give you plenty of choice.

    Review the performance of NVIDIA specifications. Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

  • Compaq Presario CQ5110Y Desk: Change a computer fan

    Hello. My Compaq Presario desktop computer, product #KY821AA, is 7 years old and not under warranty. I have no technical expertise, but I don't change another fan in the computer, which was easy to access.

    In my view, that the fan in the computer case power supply area must be changed. It is making considerable noise on a regular basis, which it did not before. My questions are the following:

    (1) is there a link to a video or a website that could show me how to open the my computer power supply area (I already know how to open the case on the side of the computer)?

    (2) if I can get into the power supply area, I have to take the power supply on and bring it to a store to get a new or would it be easier to just replace the computer fan in the power supply area, which is the only reason why I want to go to the power supply area.

    Thank you.

    If you notice, the PSU (Power Supply Unit) in the PC is locked up in a case of steel mesh.

    There is a very good reason for it.  Inside of this case are capacitors that store a LOT of current, so that if you accidentally touch one, you could easily be electrocuted!  If not killed, you risk very severe electric burns.

    Leave the only PSU case and replace the power supply with a new - what is much safer.

    Good luck

  • Compaq Presario SR2010NX beep code error starting: longbeeppausecontinuinglongbeepspausebetweeneach

    Hello.  My Compaq Presario Desktop PC SR2010NX of 2006 began just not start.  It gives me a sound code of long beeps that accompany pause after each beep and continue indefinitely.  I have tried convenience cheques, and it looks as if it was the 'memory '.  My question, FEI's memory, what cards are hardware compatible with my PC.  I had a breakdown.    to install a new set of 2 GB cards in July - and I had technicians immediately reinstall my old 2 cards (issued factory) replacement cards they have advised me to buy are not compatible, and when I went to pick up my computer, the computer would not start.  I have askede to reinstall my old cards and the computer booted suceesfully, and I left the store!  I am sure that I do not know what new products could be compatible with my old PC.  I thhink 4 GB is too myuch for my computer, and he couldn't get half that - but what brand should be like new hardwrae?  I wasn't expecting my old cards fail when they were resettled - three months since the change of memory attempt - thre months they started normally.  They have been re-hurriedly harnessed and dismissed the case, and then I left the store.  (The tech threatedned me with fear of "motherboard failure", which just made get the computer and leave immediately.  The old cards cannot have been relocated safely.  I'm taking it - but I will not be pushed around.  Of course - as old as mine PC would gradually motherboard failure.  Until it fails.  It was the memory card, but what woud cards my PC take that would be accepted as new hardware and allow my PC to boot up normally, if it is the cards and not yet the motherboard?

    I have now read the post with indicator on the upgrade memory.  It was very useful, and I wrote notes for the Presario.

    It says, maximusmis 2 GB to 1 GB cards/no stamped with the form of the data of motherboard page.

    It is divided between 2 cards 512 MB factory.  It has only 2 slots.

    Thank you.  My Compaq desktop computer has grown on me.  I got Vista bfore and I didn't know what I think.  If it can be repaired, I think 8 years (purchase date 4 November 2006) were fun for the low-end model.  It was a good choice, and I have never regretted buying at what cost.  It was better than expected.

    I haven't used my Compaq Presario continually over the past eight years - that's why it lasted so long!  Dud ut do work, however.  I had retirement is put online last year

    I liked HP Photosmart first 6.5 photo editing.  I liked Wordpad.  Mechanically, it was scientifically.  The material began to go when the built-in CD/DVD internal drive has failed.  I bought and had a replacement (DVD player (cd) internal HP) installed in July 2014.

    The new internal DVD writer HP compatible service pack XP? I have SP2) - I don't think it's about compatible new material.  This caused unable to start new businesses after three months?  New feature of device recognistion and old motherboard? Don't know?  (short circuit)?  I left the old CD/DVD recorder factory in its case - it's there and the springs are working to open and close the casing and check it / A short?  Don't know anything about electric

    Another point, when the original memory card 512 MB on factory 2 cards have been resettled, he was press-technicians to get the computer to boot - so the computer's case has been closed.   (I took the PC on their part awqay as fast it was closed upward).  I thought safe in maintaining clips?  Maybe not securely harnessed.  Could also be from the old factory of 512 memory cards in each clip spare wedge - to alternate which card and which support clip.  I have not tried this or re-cutting to the place of repair.  (I do not have any technical installation and not have ny contact danger here - I do not touch the computer).  It is the matter of repair - these people in a hurry, they sell - they tell you something will work, they overtest, they overdiagnose - they push you autour-yyou never recover your computer to use as is - it is disturbing to go, if you are not a consumer savvy or technical.

    May not be able to take new material old = change motherboard in chipsets, etcs. features.

    Ialso had an error saying years only. IPC Port would not work.  (. COMI is the base model for the CPA called Palm Zire Hotsync Manager.  I don't think the Palm Zire software uninstalled iI, and the message is a (!) origin unknown error message is:. COMI, has failed to initialize.  It's a pop-up error message appeared during the startup process.  The repair people off the message.  The boot has been at once - disconnect - the plugin twice and electric start.  It was based on the plug in the socket, removed and reconnected before the start =.  Technicians tried to solve this problem, but it is not important from my point of view.  All of those, cumulatively, could be symptoms of a hardware change progressive until the end of the use of PC - they are all could be chips card mother falling out or something there (the CD player, the.) Port COMI - don't know about the real, even if start program - which can only be that.)

    I tried the power reset function discussed in the Troubleshooting Online Web pages - 5 seconds to reset, / 15 seconds to reset - power off (unplugged) and hold the power button / stop without plug-in for 5 or 15 seconds (depends on the Web page of the online manual!)  Once, after an attempt to reset of fifteen seconds, the computer has no beep, and he almost made a second rumble noise - but then no change afterwards.  The redonnee start-up sound code beep after that the computer was turned off and then restarted again.

    PC is sitting in his corner.  I don't want someone break while I think about what to do.  He's going nowhere right now.

    This is the first time, it would not start.  I am a bit worried and disappointed, but, I know that my PC is old, and one day, it will fail to work.  That is the reality.  If it fi fixable, I'm interested to hear about the fit-it.  Thanks again.

    Hello @lliil,

    I read what you posted and it seems that you have a hardware problem with your computer. The only thing I can do for you is to provide you with the HP support document: BIOS Beep Codes, which will help you to correctly identify what's wrong with your computer. Given the age of the computer apart from this if you want to know if it can be fixed, I recommend do you get into a local computer repair shop and let them take a look.

    I hope I helped. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • How to start a Compaq Presario that will beep at me?

    I have a Compaq Presario desktop computer that I "inherited" a close two weeks ago. It has worked fine until this morning. After installation of new RAM sticks and get black screen ("We apologize for the inconvenience... ") twice, rechecked everything carefully and then get a blue screen telling me that"ati2dvag.dll"was responsible for the shutting down Windows, etc, it starts today!

    The fans start, so be able to do... but it comes is and keeps me beeper!

    It's a SR1619UK, running XP SP2 & Radeon Xpress 200 graphics chipset... and a 1 GB of RAM.

    Someone tell me what is happening?

    Life is what you make...

    You can only be sure of three things in life; birth, death, and taxes; Hah!

    Greetings, Dokie and Geekster.

    Sort problem! Given that I don't seem to be getting anywhere, I resorted to the suggestion of a friend of re-Foundation original RAM sticks (pair of 512s), and... It worked! (I told you I was new to this, and that I had not worked on your desktop before...)

    I must have disturbed them when I first tried installing the 1 GB module who came the other day. I never thought it possible... they are a VERY tight fit in these slots, and they need a little bit of pressure to engage the locks. but this is what must have happened.

    I'm willing to believe ANYTHING can happen with these gadgets now... !

    Thanks to the pair of you for your help with this... and it was more enjoyable to chat with you two. I know where to go for assistance in the future.

  • Compaq Presario SR5110NX: sr5110nx

    Hello community!

    I am the proud owner of a Compaq Presario desktop computer. I bought it in 2007 - and is no longer under warranty. HP informs me that they no longer support my model. I currently have 10 Windows running in the system - having started with Vista, then Windows 7. Here's my question:

    When I use tune to determine the drivers that I might need to update, the wizard identifies my system as something totally different, indeed a photo printer - with a strange product name and serial number.

    How can I get the wizard to recognize my real name and serial number?

    Help, please!
