Compaq Presario c700 laptop RAM.....Blue screen!!!!

Hello, I just recently removed vista and upgarded to Win7 32 bit. I tryed to add 4gb of RAM, due to the factory 1gb it came with.  However got a Blue screen Error.  After that I only installed 1 of/ 2gb stick of RAM and it worked. 
My quetsion is, I need 4gb of RAM for this c700, Should I update the Bios for Win 7. By doing so will the c700 allow me to install the 4gb of RAM and work?  
This question was solved.

  • HP compaq Presario C700 LAPTOP NO Power

    Hi I have a compaq presario c717nr that works with a charged battery, my ac adapter works as I have an hp pavillion d6000 and it works, also tested the ac adapter from my pavillion on the presario and it does not power up with out the battery, when plugged in to ac adapter with the battery on it says charging but it does not charge or power the laptop on ac power only. need help

    I have exactly the same C717NR and same exact symptoms. It will work with a charged battery. With AC adapter in, the power jack blue led comes on only if the battery is on. And as u said, it doesnt really charge as I see that the battery charge is dwindling. Also, as soon as you remove the battery, the ac power jack led goes off. The laptop cannot be run directly via AC. I checked an exact same c717NR and his works fine on AC even when you remove battery while windows is on.
    So my question is whether if its the dc power jack that bad or some thing else is messed up? I can say I even swapped mother board and had the same problem. 
    Thanks.

    HP would be happy to sell you a new laptop. But the C700 really has no trade-in value. 
    Here is a replacement battery on eBay:

    This is not a genuine HP battery but would be a good option for an older laptop.

    Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
    For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
    Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
    Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".

  • Upgrading Compaq Presario V2000 laptop

    hello everyone,
    I am planning on upgrading a Compaq presario V2000 laptop i currently own. I heard that it cna can only run on PC2700 RAM with a max of 1gb per slot. Currently, I have 2 X 256mb sticks installed so i plan to remove one of them and install a 1GB stick and i was wondering whether this is compatible with the laptop:
    http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3274_PNY_Sodimm_1GB_DDR333_PC_2700_for_Laptop
    I also wanted to upgrade the hard-drive as 40gbs just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know whether the V2000 can hold two hard-drives? Also what hard-drives are supported by the V2000? Will any IDE 2.5" hard-drive fit in or does it only support 5400rpm drives?
    Thank you,
    Babaquazi

    Your max memory is 2 gigs or 2 x 1 gb and yes it uses DDR333 SO-DIMM memory. Here is the Crucial.com page for it:
    memory
    Here is the Manual:
    Manual
    Turn to Page 5-6 for hard drive replacement. Don't forget to save the little connector piece that goes over the hard drive pins and place it on the new drive. There is only room for one (1) drive.
    You can use any IDE (PATA) 2.5 inch laptop drive of any size and rotation speed. A 7200 rpm drive will boost performace significantly.
    Not sure if you have the Intel or AMD version of the V2000 but the processor is also upgradeable if you happen to have one using the Celeron or Sempron processor.

  • Power Problem w/ Compaq Presario C700!!

    The other night I was working on my friends compaq presario c700. I was using the battery power. I was running a pre-bios .iso file program, due to password complications. In the middle of running the program to reset the admin. password, it turned off. So I plugged in the A/C cable. After pressing the power button, the led that is represented by a little Lightning Bolt flashed 5 or 6 times and then stopped. The laptop did not turn on. Even when I have the A/C plugged in, I see no led light showing that it is charging. I don't think my software that I was running could of caused this, or could it of? What steps should I take in fixing this problem? Have these models been known to have issues like this? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks so much!

    Based on you saying the LED flashed 5 or 6 times, this generally means the battery is fully discharged. Do you have access to a volt meter or multimeter?

  • My Compaq Presario C700 shuts down at randomly and there is no noise coming from the machine at all

    My laptop will only turn on for about ten minutes before dying, it doesn't even go through the usual shut down process, it just turns off. Also, there is no sound of a fan or any humming coming from the computer. Before this problem of the random shutting down started, there was always a humming sound coming out. This happened to the computer about a year ago, and I gave it into PC World (Ireland) and they wiped the system and it worked again. So, the minute I saw the same thing happening I backed everything up and wiped it myself, I set up my user in vista again, but the computer was the same and was turning off randomly.
    Does anyone know how this can be fixed?? Thanks for your help.
    PS: It's A HP Compaq Presario C700 Series Notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium.

    There may be a real hardware issue (like spanning above mentioned.) When I lose sound on my phone, here are the things I try, in no particular order:
    If you use Apple TV, open a movie file (you tube, music video, anything you can play over Apple TV.) Switch to Apple TV playout and then switch back to your phone. If you left the phone going out to Apple TV, it may have kept the sound routing there -- switching back and forth again should reset it back to playing to your iPhone speakers.
    If you use headphones, stick the headphones in and out again. Same kind of idea, the headphone detection may have been incorrect, and the toggle in & out will help it reset back to your speakers.
    If you play games, go into a game with sound and adjust the volume there. There are actually three different volume settings (as far as I have experimented with) ringer, "normal" volume, and game volume... it's a little buggy figuring out which one your phone should be using

  • Compaq Presario C700 Question

    I just recently bought a new charger for my Presario C700, due to the last one breaking. Now, I should note that I have not used my notebook in about 7 months or so because it was out of power and I had no means of charging. I bought the charger from atbatt.com (http://www.atbatt.com/product/23318.asp). This was my first time purchasing anything off their website. So, as soon as the charger arrived, which was March 9 (yesterday),  I plugged it in, and the light on it indicates that it is receiving power, but the laptop is not charging. I need to know if I have purchased the wrong charger and should return it or whether or not there is something wrong with my notebook.
    Thanks for your time.

    What country do you live in, Your Highness? That is going to make a difference in where I suggest you buy the battery. 
    This is an extremely old laptop, right?
    If you live in the U.S. this one will work:

    It is not genuine HP but for the price it will be fine for an older laptop. If you must have genuine HP they cost at least $50 and have to be shipped from China.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop does not see SD card

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop (Windows 7 64bit) that has a built in media card reader that has never worked.
    When I insert the SD card it makes the "USB Beep Up sound" that says it sees the card - but when I go to MY COMPUTER, there is no device listed for the SD card.  How do I read and write to an SD card with this laptop?

    I have done that.
    In DEVICE MANAGER I can see the SD Card show up under "Disk Drives" when the SD card is inserted, and disappear when it is removed.
    Under Storage>Disk Management the SD card shows up as drive 1 (main drive is drive 0) but no drive letter. 
    When I right-click on the SD card Drive 1 and try to change to a drive letter, I get an error message and it will not let me.  It will not let me format either. 
    The driver is from microsoft and is old - 6/21/2006. I did some google searching and read that a driver update would fix the issue. I uninstalled the card reader driver, got a new driver from HP and installed it, and when I inserted the SD card it loaded up the old driver...ugh.

  • Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop SSD Upgrade

    I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop the was brand new in 2003. I have a newer laptop, but an currently trying to upgrade the Presario 2100 as much as possible. It's kind of a project now and I also want to get as much use as possible out of it. I have heard that the SSDs are super fast and would improve performance quite a bit. Has anyone made the upgrade to a SSD for their Persario 2100 series laptop already? All input is appreciated, especially all of the product info that was used for the upgrade. If nobody has done this, then does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the Presario 2100 series laptop to a SSD?
    Thanks,

    Believe it or not the Service Manual is still available. 
    Manual
    The Presario 2100 uses old school PATA (EIDE) hard drives which are different than the SATA SSDs you mostly see on the market. However, there are PATA SSDs. They cost a bit more per gig, obviously. I have put a PATA SSD in a laptop of about the same vintage as the Presario 2100 and it did improve the boot time and general performance significantly, but talk about the proverbial earrings on a pig! 
    This is a 64 gig PATA SSD which would be perfect for the Presario 2100 but is $90:

    On eBay you will probably find 32 gig versions for a bit less.
