However this time around I have no cd/dvd drive, doesn't show is not in the computer, no messages or error codes, showing everything simply do not. If I insert a disc of any kind, the reader turns for a few seconds but nothing more. Run a couple of tests after having read other people with same issue, software driver is available, up to date the best apparenlty.

  • Windows8 upgrade

    Hello

    I use the pc hp Pavilion dv6-6015tx laptop. I just bought a year ago.

    I now want to upgrade to Pro Windows7 HomeBasic Windows8.

    Is it safe to upgrade?

    I actually checked with the Assistant of Windows8 upgrade & it has just shown that some 6 to 7 software need attention.

    It will automatically install the HP programs (such as the management facility, cool sense, simple pass Wizard, etc...)?
    I will also be able to access my 1st backup I made using hp software?

    In fact, I plan to buy win8 before January 31.

    He would be grateful if I get help as soon as possible.

    Thank you.

    Hi Mary,

    Depends on what you mean by "safe" - it is safe in the respect that Windows 8 will run on the computer.

    It is 'dangerous' in the respect that there is no drivers HP and support required to completely run the HP software needed to own tansistion and without problem.

    • There is a version SimplePass that will run on Windows 8 for you - you can use your Windows 7 driver for the fingerprinter.

    • You may have problems with the sound.
    • You can have display issues, particularly if you run switchable graphics.
    • There are other sections that you may or may not be able to fix.

    Once you upgrade, you can come back to Windows 7 – If you made an Image of your Windows 7.  You will not have access to your Windows 7 Recovery Manager: the recovery in Windows 7 Manager is not compatible with Windows 8 and upgrade destroyed the 'bridge' between the two methods.

    The upgrade to a system without full support of drivers can be - is with the highest risk for a system with driver support and the level of success depends on your skill level and the depth of the commitment in the process.

    I hope this helps.

    Windows8 tile problem. When I click on a tile, it opens, then closes instantly. I have studied the site of Microsoft to solve this problem, but all attempts have failed. I tried to click with the right button on tile and used the feature, turn off, then I was instructed to shut down the computer, restart the computer, click with the right button on tile and select turn on, it did not work. Microft offers a COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS of the SYSTEM using Norton. I did and it did not resolve the tile not not opening problem. Can someone help me solve this situation. Is this a common problem with Windows 8?

    My problem has been resolved. I down loaded Windows updates more added Bing bar.

    I can open the tiles now.

    HP computer: Envy 850-065SE (memory 4 locations)

    Memory: G.SKILL RIPJAWS V F4-2133C15D-32GVR DDR4-2133 CL 15-15-15-36 v 1.2 2 * 16GB

    I just bought 32 GB (2 * 16) G.SKILL RIPJAWS V F4-2133C15D-32GVR DDR4-2133 CL 15-15-15-36 v 1.2 memory to upgrade my HP desktop computer (model 850-065SE of envy). My office has a HP mother 2B3A and i7 - 5820 k and HaswellE chipset. The memory of the plant is of Samsung brand with configuration DDR4-2133.

    When I replaced the memory of samsung (trademark) with G.SKILL ones, the computer cannot start with black screen. When I've switched back to factory memory, the computer is back to normal.

    That means G.SKILL RIPJAWS V 16 GB memoryis is not compatible with this HP computer motherboard? or upgrade the BIOS can solve this problem? or do I return these memory and get 8 GB * 2 instead? Your comments are much appreciated.

    This model is limited to only 4 GB and 8 GB modules in the slot.

  • Portege 7020 bios upgrade problem.

    I have a Portege 7020 CT with docking station. For a year and a half I can't update my bios. The problem is that when starting the floppy (as in instructions) drive my docking station is almost all (floppy drive) is turned off. Or I couldn't upgrade through Windows Millennium Edition.
    Someone at - it had similar problems? And you have any ideas to solve the problem?

    Hello

    as far as I know, you need to remove your Portege. Plug the AC and connect the floppy drive. Laptop must be in boot mode and not recovery mode, and remove any PC cards.

    Then insert the prepared BIOS disc (create it as described in the manual) and boot from the floppy.

    Then it should work!

    Try and keep me posted.

  • RAM upgrade problem: Flash the BIOS? or upgrade the processor?

    Hi, I jumped in with both feet and now need help to get out me!

    I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion Elite HPE-470uk who becomes a bit slow (processor card here http://ark.intel.com/products/48505/Intel-Core-i3-550-Processor-4M-Cache-3_20-GHz). After you have added a bluray player that I noticed that it's getting a bit slow so thought I would add little RAM.

    I bought a few Hyper X8GB of HyperXbeast 1600hhz, slipped in and the PC did nothing but to turn on and off several times. I checked the two sticks and they both do it. I then (plow in front) checked what memory, the processor can handle and discovered "The Intel® Core™ i3 - 5xx / Intel® Core™ i3-21xx processors handle memory DDR3 1066/1333 MHz" by http://www.intel.com/support/processors/corei3/sb/CS-031175.htm

    After a discussion on another forum, that it has been suggested that I have updated the BIOS because it can allow the processor to manage memory 1600 mhz, but I don't know where to start on this or what version to selected download. I'd appreciate any help you can offer on this.

    The other way, that I can see is to update the processor itself. I thought of nothing too fancy just an i5 because it will allow me to run 3d blurays and should allow me to run some apps at the same time. After reading this http://m.wikihow.com/Upgrade-a-Processor it seems too complicated. Is it really just a matter of taking off the fan, declipsant the old processor, nine droping in and then put on some cooling stick stuff?

    Or should I just return the memory and get good memory?

    See you soon

    Atdot.

    Here are the specifications of original factory for your desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-470uk and its card mother MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E). Based on these specifications, this model can support up to 16 GB (4 GB x 4 DIMMs) as follows:

    Dual channel memory architecture
    Four DDR3 DIMM sockets (240 pin)
    PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
    PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered
    Supports up to 16 GB on 64 bit computers

    In addition, this model can support the following Intel processors;

    Maximum frequency of the processor of the heart < = 2.93GHz
    Intel Core i7 - 8xx (Lynnfield core)
    Intel Core i5 - 7xx (Lynnfield core)
    Intel Core i5 - 6xx (Clarkdale core)
    Intel Core i3 - 5xx (Clarkdale core)

    If you do not have to worry about the update of the BIOS, there is no updates available for your computer BIOS. Honestly, I return the incorrect memory and upgrade to a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. Then, if it solves all your problems, you could also upgrade the processor.

    As the computer is nearly 4 years old, you can consider a factory HP restore to return the computer to a facoty as State. In many cases, it returns original full speed of the computer. The reason why this helps, because the BONE is swollen and clogged over time.

  • Satellite A350 - cannot order the Win 7 Upgrade - problem of credit card

    To the right,.

    I bought a laptop, A350, in 2009 and ordered to Windows 7 using the www.toshibawin7upgrade.com program, but I couldn't get anything from anywhere until today.

    Recently, I asked the delivery during 2 months nothing delivered, but the team behind this program cancelled my order. (Order No.: 4440058036)

    Day before yesterday, I ordered again (order No.: 4440124899) but this time another email was sent on my credit card because they could not charge the card so that they are not able to send the Windows 7 upgrade.
    In addition, it is mentioned to get in touch with the service the customer in Turkey, but the phone number provided on the page does not work.
    I don't know that my credit card works because I order a lot of stuff from other Web sites in the world.

    Almost 3 months ago, I still don't know where to contact them and how to order the Windows 7 upgrade.

    I hope that during the purchase of computer A350 laptop brand TOSHIBA, but today I am considering my decision isn't true at all.

    Please tell us how to deal with which to order Windows 7 upgrade as announced at the sale of portable for the A350.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    For me, it looks like there are some problems with the credit card.
    Who knows what makes you wrong maybe that you have entered the right number or missed something maybe, there is another problem with your credit card
    In my opinion, you should get in touch with your Bank and should ask what could be the problem

    Here are the other Toshiba page where you could ask a support team for assistance if a problem with Win 7 upgrade kit would appear.

  • Satellite C660 PSC1JE - 8 GB RAM upgrade problems

    Fellow owners of Toshiba,

    I have a Satellite C660-PSC1JE-00Y00XHU with 3 GB RAM (1 + 2) I want to go to 8 GB.

    I went out and bought 2 x 4 GB, but so far no of the below those worked (the computer restarts or stop):
    http://www.Amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-1333MHz-KTT-S3BS-4G/DP/B00B2UWSD4
    http://www.Kingston.com/dataSheets/KVR16S11S8_4.PDF
    I was not to mix memories above, purchased two of each. Certainly, these operate at higher MHz and they aren't memories KIT, so that may be the issue.

    According to the specifications of the laptop (SEE attachment), I should be able to move to 8 GB.
    I found the following thread here, but it is not help me solve this problem: https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread...RAM+memory+8gb

    I found my memories at Intel:
    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/platform-memory/DDR3-1333-n-ECC-SODIMM-validation-results.html?wapkw=m471b2873fhs
    Two of my memories have a value of 'B' in the R/C column, but what that means? I ask, it is because in the list, there are two 4 GB memory listed thus:
    M471B5273CH0-CH9
    M471B5273BH1-CH9
    But these memories have a 'F' in R/C column. Is that mean that they didn't work with the tested chipset?

    I found a KIT on amazon, where PSC1JE is registered: http://amzn.com/B00WAFGDTK
    But on the important information of the product section, only C655 notebooks are listed.

    Another thing I noticed, is that support for DDR3 frequency on my motherboard is only 533 MHz, but the memories that came with the laptop are 666,7 MHz. Does that mean I shouldn't buy same PC3-10600 memory, since it would not even capable of running at full speed?

    What I absolutely have to buy KIT or can I go out with two sticks of Samsung 4 GB?

    I am at a loss. Can someone point me in the direction of someone who can check what memory modules I need in order to have 8 GB in my notebook?

    Thank you
