Compaq Presario CQ40-327TU Notebook PC Display problem

Hi,
My product is Compaq Presario CQ40-327TU Notebook PC originally with Windows XP edition. Recently I installed Windows 7 in my laptop from USB pen drive. Installation went fine, but it does not ask for C drive format. I installed in the C drive where Windows XP installed previously . After installation of my laptop working fine. Some times the screen goes blank (black) and come back after few minutes and in notification area it shows "Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator Drivers for Windows 7 (R) stopped responding and has successfully recovered." like that I am getting a notification. In my system information, I checked it shows Windows 7 in OS. It happens only when I toggle to different windows or applications. I checked display adapters in device manager and it shows "Mobile Intel(R) 45 Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)" . When I tried to update display adapter it showed already uptodate. Can I expect some solution for my problem here. Also after OS installed I found Windows.old folder in C drive. Can I removed that folder?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Venugopal

Compaq Presario CQ40-106TU Strange noise

hi every HP products owners,
I’ve bought Compaq Presario CQ40-106TU notebook 3 weeks ago, till now, when I play music or movies, every 5~6 minutes I hear a short distorted noise thru earphone or speakers.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled sound driver. I have fully recovered my notebook, but this issue is still persisting.
When it is mute or I don’t play music or movie there is no noise. in case of all kind of music or movies, online, radio, playing by all kind of media player same as windows media player, jet Audio, winamp, i have this problem.
the notebook has a IDT High Definition Audio CODEC sound system. in sound card property it is mentioned that sound system works properly, but this problem really makes me mad.
The noise sometimes interrupts the music for an instant.
What can I do? Is it hardware problem?
I appreciate anykind of help or instructions.

Unable to boot Compaq Presario CQ40-340TU

Hi I have a Compaq Presario CQ40-340TU laptop. My problem is that I can't boot. I already change the harddisk since there are bad sector. Then when I connect my new hard disk, the laptop can not detect it, so i try connecting the new hardisk on my desktop, and installed Vista for the OS. When I return the new harddisk with installed Vista OS, I still can't boot the laptop.
I also try to boot the new hard disk in my desktop,it works fine. So i think there's some problem on my laptop?
Anybody know what seems to be the problem? Please help

check whether the HDD is dtected in the BIOS or not ! do that by tapping F10 while the NB boots...if the hdd is not detected then u need to get another hdd....if the hdd is detected then run the self test.....if no error comes then take the NB along with the HDD and ask for the compatibility at the store...

My Compaq presario CQ40 battery

Sir,
I got a Compaq presario CQ40 notebook. My battery displays ....plugged in, not charging....I guess reason is that my battery has dried up....so i would like to ask that is it a safe using that battery for few days .....or it has chances to explode.......its urgent . also i would like to know the price of replacement of new battery.
,Thank You
~Shubham

If your power adapter is rated for 90Watts, then my next thought would be to try a different 12 cell battery from a different manufacturer. Most (if not all...) newer batteries have a small chip inside that relays information back to the charging circuit in your laptop. This is what "tells" your laptop charging percentage of the battery, battery status and how much to charge it. Either the new battery has a defective chip, or it's missing... At least thats what it sounds like to me.
You should have some type of guarantee from the website if battery is DOA from the start.

Hi,
The only option for a modem if one is not bought as an option would be a USB connected modem. U.S. Robotics makes one. Take a look here at NewEgg. It is unfortunat that this laptop does not come with an express54 slot.

Compaq Presario CQ61-310SA Notebook PC Help

I have a Compaq Presario CQ61-310SA Notebook PC that worked fine until recently . Now when i turn it on the power light comes on , i can hear the fans and HDD power up , but the screen remains blank . The only sign of problem is the led warning lights . They flash twice , then pause then flash twice again , they do this constantly until the machine is turned off. I have tried a hard reset , swapped/removed the memory modules , reseated the HDD , checked all cabling is properly seated , still nothing. Have tried to fix the Bios using the HP_Tools USB device and pressing Windows+B on switch on , this caused the machine to beep 3 times then switch off .
Am now scratching my head and wondered if anyone here has any further advice before i throw it in the bin .... i tried to connect to outside source (TV via HDMI) ... but just showed blue screen and out of range message on the TV ..
HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
No, it does not have a modem as shown in its specs.
If you wish, you can buy one of these

Does Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD) Notebook PC support WPA2-PSK?

Hello all,
I know this is an old laptop(Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD) Notebook PC).
Recently, I upgraded my network system and start to use WPA2-PSK.
I have installed the patch from MS http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1974
However, the droplist of my network wireless setting still doesn't show the option
for wpa2 but wpa.
Can someone tell me the reason? Is it beause that my network adapter doesn't support
the new standard wpa2?
Thank you

I believe this driver will take care of the issue...
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=3688870&sp...
Again, in addition to the above driver you also must be running XP SP3 in order to get WPA2 support if that microsoft SP2 WPA2 patch doesn't work.
