Hi all! I have a Compaq Evo N115 that shuts itself off in less than 5 minutes after bootup. Tried cleaning out the dust (no torxdrivers...) to no avail. There are approx. 40 processes running, and the processor works at 100% almost all the time! Tried to scan it from my desktop, no joy, can't...

DEJ57 Wrote: Ah, something for me to still comment about.....here's my "infoo"... You didn't ask, but I have some advice for you. Don't do a BIOS flas of any type unless you have an over whelming need for a fix that the BIO update states it fixes. If the BIOS update flash fails, it...

anyone have one to dl or sell

Needing to upgrade the wife's computer but money is a bit tight. Was looking at the Northgate desktops in Staples. Either the Athlon XP 3000 or 64. Any opinions or experience with them? TIA HC

The Abit Siluro i have is 4X . Cant get it to boot. But listen to this crap! I have an Aopen GF4 Ti4200 DVC128MB 8X graphics card that has been in the droor for about a year because i thought it was cooked (worked for about 6 months, lost receipt). Would crash or present enough artifacts that...

I cant get an Abit Siluro T400 64MB AGP to even post on Presario 5000. Nothing wrong with card as it works fine in two other pcs. I can get to work: ATI Xpert@play 8MB AGP, Aopen Ti4200 128MB AGP, and a Matrox 8MB AGP but not the Siluro. Any ideas? Cant find bios update.

Looking for quick restore cd's for a Compaq Laptop series 1200. Can someone help me. I found out that they don't sell them anymore because Microsoft will not support win98, which comes on the disk. Thanks John

I have a year-old R3240US, which uses the 3200+ AMD 64. The system runs like a blast furnace when I run any game on it. Is there a lower-powered version of the processor that can replace the current one? Certainly some of the newer AMD chips use less power, but I'm not sure what's compatable.

On my new Compaq Presario I keep getting a window that pops up telling me about something called Intermute. How do I get rid of this thing? I click on don't remind me again but that doesn't stop it. Is there something I need to uninstall to get rid of Intermute?

Hello I am trying to Upgrade My AP400 PWS (Pro work station) With another CPU. I already have a 700MHz CPU so i thought it good to get another same CPU of same rating. I notice that the slower CPU's (600MHz) have 512Kb of cache rather than the 700MHz CPU's 256Kb of cache. So if i have two CPU's...

Hello All, I have a Compaq Presario 5184 AMD K62 380 with 128 megs ram I would like to do a clean/fresh install of Windows XP Professional. The problem is this system is not bootable via CDrom or floppy but will only boot with the restore disk. I have checked the BIOS as well. Anyone know where I...

I have a 5wv235 (serial # 8047FPP410C9 )Presario with the original 10GB Hard Drive. I updated recently to windows XP- SP1 ( the original operating system was windows 2000 or ME not sure). Never upgraded the BIOS because apparently no-one is available for windows XP. Current Bios date: 10/12/00. I...

Hello, I have a laptop Compaq Preasrio R3000 which currently has NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go 64M. I would love to be able to uprade my video card. I'm not sure if I can. I have heard two differnet opinions. That its possible and that its not. I'm confused about who to believe. If it is possible, I...

I have just found out that we have an old computer running Compag web based management. How do you turn this off on W98, do you just uninstall it from add remove programs? I would prefer a method where I don't reboot, but it is running on a system with W98, so my guess a reboot is inevitable.

email me for all of the cabs, dlls, and other stuff you may need at . I may even tell you how to obtain a copy of the restore disks if you do not have them.

There is an 8gig hidden partition at the back of my HD? What is it or? --L

I've got a compaq presario r3000z laptop, purchased in september 2004. It won't read 1GB SD&MMC cards in the integrated card slots. Smaller cards are fine, up to 256MB. I don't know about 512MB, as I haven't got one that size to try. So far as I know I have the latest driver for the card reader,...

Can anyone tell me what the Fastest Processor that can be used in a presario 5106cl is? I can't seem to be able to find any info. Thanks

I'm in the market for a new notebook and the Presario 2568AP would suit my purposes (I think)... I need the parallel port to be able to be set in BIOS to fully EPP Compliant to run some sound recording hardware (Soundscape) but no one (not even compaq/HP) seem to be able to tell me if it can! ...

I am repairing a computer for a freind, and need to know if there is a list of what upgradability is for a compaq presario 5106cl, specifically what is the range of supported cpus (the CPU dies due to the dreaded single-clip HSF failure). I tested it and it works fine with a 1.4 T-Bird, but I can't...
