hard time, reverting this machine back to XP.
The network driver should be a Atheros 5007E, For some reason its not working.
I got this laptop free and seeing i have a Enterprise edition of XP. I figure i'd wipe out this old VISTA.
where to get XP drivers for this card? As the other drivers i've figured out already.
My little brother owns this notebook and it get rather hot when used.
It has a Intel Celeron 575 running at 2,00 GHz and a Intel GMA 4500mhd on a Intel GL40 mainboard.
It reports that it runs at 60c when idle, but it feels very hot when in use.
Even my own system runs cooler and it includes a ATI Mobility X1600 that can get a little toasty when in use.
i bought a new laptop the other day and this is the specs :

i purchased over 8 months ago. The thing is, when i first bought this item, i had no problems with it, untill i installed windows 7. Now it turns off, overheats, and goes really slow. I have 1 years warranty so what would i go about sending it to? hp?. Does any1 know there details?

I got XP working with relative ease on this laptop (even the blue LED for Wi-Fi thanks to this forum) and I thought I was home safe. This morning however I realized that when the laptop comes out of sleep the sound is not working.
XP works great on this laptop. With IE running I only have 376MB memory use, 26 processes and the CPU idles @ 0-1%
I just bought a Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX laptop, which came with Vista installed and I need to downgrade to Windows XP (for work purposes). I can't seem to find a Windows XP driver for this model and am waiting to downgrade until I know if I need one / if there is one.
my questions are:
1) Is there a Windows XP driver for the Presario CQ60-216DX laptop?
2) If the answer to question 1 is no, is there a comparable driver to use?
i have a problem with my little brother notebook.
After he muted the sound and then unmuted it it does not play any audio trough the speakers.
Plugging a audio cable in the microfone port fixes the problem, but this is not a permanently fix.
I did a clean install to Windows 7 because he had the free upgrade but the problem still shows up.
I thinking it must be a driver related issue since its working perfect once you reformat.
I used the latest Windows 7 x86 drivers from the HP site.
My compaq presario cq 60 i have forgot the bios password (Enter Administrator password ?). after 3 attempts i got a code 63186857 ...
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 notebook are not responding and don't have any external devices to see whether this is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Safe Mode as keyboard does not respond, however it allows me to type in my password to access vista! I think I have just locked the computer, but don't know how to unlock it, various forums have specified reinstalling drivers etc. but I am unable to do this with no working keyboard and do not know how whether I have pressed a combination of keys which have caused this. I am not sure whether this is a Vista problem or a Compaq/HP problem.

The router I have is "atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi adapter", and the o/s I have on my laptop is Windows Vista 32 bit.
In our previous residence we had UPC broadband, and I had no problems at all connecting.
I have been sent 2 system recovery dvd's and one supplemental disc by hp. I put them into my drive and nothing happens. How do I start this procedure? I thought maybe all that I hav to do was wait until it started automatically (didn't happen) or click on the Boot option - nothing happens there either. I Have an HP Compaq Presario CQ60 Laptop with Windows 7 home premium. What to do? I am NOT a very sophisticated computer user. I need to do the recovery as I've had a total crash.

Is this a known issue with the Compaq Presario CQ60?

What do I need to do, what do I need to get, and where do I get it?
I just purchased this item a few days ago and realized that it only came with wireless b/g.
I have an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN card that I would like to swap in, but there are only two wires. One black, one white. The Intel care requires a grey one as well.
So my second attempt was a Dell 1505 Draft N card that I had lying around, and it only requires two cables. The black and the white. So I installed it, but upon reboot, it states there is an unsupported wireless card and I need to remove it to continue.
Does this system have a locked BIOS that will not let you alter the system from factory specs?
Or can someone recommend a wireless N card that will work in this system. It is only used for work, but at home I like to work in my office upstairs and my router is downstairs. The signal from the b/g adapter in it current sucks.

I tried to install Windows XP sp3 in it.. since the dvd-drive of CQ60-100EE had problems, i removed the Hard disk > fixed it in my other laptop and installed XP > then fixed the HDD back to CQ60-100EE.. now when i switched on the laptop, a blue screen appears after Windows XP boot screen.. and then the laptop restarts.. (the blue screen appears just for a fraction of second..) , the laptop starts normally in SAFE MODE.. no blue screen appears while it is starting in safe mode.. Also i have difficulty in finding XP drivers for CQ60-100EE..
Does anyone have a good tip to get hd playback smoothly on this machine? It has a AMD Sempron SI-42 2.1Ghz single core cpu and im worried it is not enough. Im wanting to play it through the hdmi interface through my tv.
I know its a AMD socket 1 cpu so what other cpu's could i put in like Dual core or quad?

im having a problem with my laptop and HP/Compaq techs cant fix it unless if i send it to them which is going to take along time and i use my laptop heavily
my current bios is F32 system Board ID is 3612 , and there is no way to upgrade the bios to newer versions through windows or through the Win+B on power recovery.
on windows i can only apply F32 using insydeFlash , if i tried a new bios version it gives me "verify error" and trying the latest couple i guess they are F50 and F52 using isydeFlash , when ever it starts , the insyde flash program window disaprears and the system hangs for ever " taking the battery and the Adapter power will shut it off"
using the Win+B recovery on power , i tired all the versions availbe on compaq website , the same issue , it starts beeping slowly then faster and faster then shuts down
i turn on the machine get into bios , its still F32.
I am hoping to upgrade the above notebook to 802.11N but I am having trouble finding information on what internal cards will work for it. It is an AMD Athlon X2 sytem wiyh an Nvidia nforce chipset running Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit. The card it uses currently ( an 802.11B/G) is an Atheros 5007 based card (part #459339-003). HP/Compaq does make a Atheros 5009 based 802.11N card (part# 482260-001) but it is in short supply and those place that do have it are prices as well as no way to verify it would work with this model as HP customer care would not give a part number via e-mail and directed me to their 800 number to place an order(). I also have heard some issues with the 5009 based cards . I have been looking at an Intel 4965AGN and a Broadcom BCM94322MC but no way to verify it would work with my computer. One seller on E-bal says the Intel unit will not work with HP/Compaq computers but in google searches I have found some HP use this Intel card/chipset in their WLAN card
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a T440, and I've set in BIOS to swap places for fn and ctrl. This works great until the machine goes to sleep or similar. After awakening the machine the keys are back to their original setting, with fn being fn, and ctrl being ctrl.
I havent explored this in detail but just found the machine sporadically losing the setting, but never while I'm working on it. So either from sleep or from locked screen.
I always use FnLk as well and that is also lost when this happens. I have to restart to get back the setting for fn-ctrl swap, but FnLk i can just enable,
I run Windows 8.1 on my T440.
I have a HP laptop model 2000-2C27CL running Windows 8 that I was given because the person cracked the screen. I have removed the bad screen and I am waiting for a replacement screen to be delivered. In the meantime I have hooked this laptop up to a external monitor. I reformatted the computer and get into Windows with no problem. I got all of the driver updates that the HP Update Center said it needed. I then proceed to get updates for the Win8 OS itself.. they download, install, and upon reboot I get the message...
"Failure configuring Windows updates Reverting changes Do not turn off your computer."
So I reformatted the computer again (very time consuming with Win8 IME) and the same thing happens all over again....

I have an ideapad Y580 with the NVIDIA GTX 660m. When I run any application with 3D graphics on battery the GPU core will initially run at 405 MHz - All is well.
After around 1 or 2 minutes, the GPU core will begin to flick between 135 MHz and 405 MHz approximaetly every 2 seconds. At 135 MHz, 3D applications are unusable and any audio goes all 'robot voice'.
I've attached a screen shot from GPU-Z
My understanding is that;
-When plugged in, I should get 835.3 MHz when running 3D applications,
-On battery, there is not enough power available to hold at 835.3 MHz, so the GPU compromises and runs at 405 MHz
-When in Windows, plugged in or not, 135 MHz is sufficient.
However as you can see, my GPU keeps falling back to 135 MHz from 405 Mhz when running 3D applications such as Farcry 3, Left4Dead2 and UGS NX7.5 (CAD Software).
Some Patterns I've Noticed:
The following cycle seems to repeat
GPU Core Speed (MHz)
CPU Core Speed (MHz)
Battery Voltage (V)
405
~798
10.85
405
~1297
10.85
135
~798
10.7
Could it be that the CPU starts ramping up which causes a V drop, thus causing the GPU to roll back to 135 MHz? If so,
Is this normal behaviour of a healthy battery? Can anything be done to limit the power consumption of the CPU to avoid the V dorp?
I see a lot of "You can't run games on battery, just accept it", to which I say, fair enough, but I need this laptop for demonstrating 3D CAD models to people. My 2005 Acer 5670 handled this no problem, I expect my Y580 to perform at least as well (really I expect it to perform a lot better).

Product Name :- HP Pavilion g6-2202tx Notebook PC
Operating System :- windows 8 pre-installed
I just factory reset my hp pavilion g6 laptop with recovery media and after reset i tried to update and it showed downloading updates and its on 0% for half hr then updates where downloaded and installed and during restart I get this message :- "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer" for more than 1hr ...
i dissasembled my presario cq60 and when i put it together the monitor won't activate.
i tried using an external monitor and the monitor refused to turn on from standby, a safety feature of the monitor. the small card in the underneath with 2 wires leading 2 the monitor, (i assume that is the laptop version of a graphics card) is fine, inserted properly, and i had a slight issue with the plugs fitting, but that was soon resolved.
This computer is my friends. I don't know what she did to it. I have fixed it before but this has been running a for hours and the same message stays there.
"HP 2000 error failure configuring windows update revertong changes do not turn off computer"
I forgot too say it is Windows 8.
