Presario 5540
Hi,
wi got an used Compaq Presario 5540 (written on the front panel). The Board seems to be a Tekram TRM P6PRO A5 V 1.02. We installed Win2k and the software shutdown won´t work. The machine gives a blue screen, does a memory dump and reboots. I would try a Bios update. Do I need a Compaq Bios or would a bios from Tekram be ok? On the Compaq (HP) site, there is no Information for a Presario 5540. The only thing I could find was a specification Sheet http://h71010.www7.hp.com/produkte/d...5540online.pdf Who knows, how to get more information? Thanx Georg |

Do NOT use anything but a Compaq BIOS update. As for info, the main U.S.
website only has info on North American models. HH "Georg Mildenberger" wrote in message ... Hi, wi got an used Compaq Presario 5540 (written on the front panel).

Called the hotline in Germany, they only have informations on pretty recent systems. Went into chat whith a very nice lady at compaq north-america, she has no bios for this type, but adviced me, not to try a tekram bios, as you did. So there is no information on the machine? Any suggestions? By Georg |

Only a guess on the shutdown issue. Is there a checkbox to enable APM in
Control Panel/Power Options in W2K? If so, it needs to be checked. HH "Georg Mildenberger" wrote in message ... Hallo HH, "HH" wrote Do NOT use anything but a Compaq BIOS update.

I tried diverse modes of setup - bios combination and that was the best I could get. I will end up with an AT-style machine... May be another setup with all powersaving options disabled in the bios. Thanx for your assistance Georg |
