G50-45 Processor and RAM upgrade?

Hello, currently I own a Lenovo G50-45 Laptop with Windows 8.1 and I am looking to see if I can upgrade the upgrade the Processor and RAM. Currently in the system is the AMD A8 6410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics and 6 GB of RAM and I'd like to upgrade the RAM to 8 GB and the Processor to something with much higher performance. Thank you!

Hi Trident1,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The Processor this unit is Embedded to the motherboard and can't be replaced or upgraded.
Your Processor AMD A8 6410 APU is part of the Beema Architecture which supports 16GB RAM
    YES you can upgrade up to 8GB DDR3L 1600
                     This system can take up to 16GB MAX by using  2x 8GB Module 
Regards
Solid Cruver

  • Upgrading a 2009 iMac 10,1 21.5" screen to the new processor and RAM

    I got mine last year from Best Buy and would like to know if they will or can upgrade my computer to the new quad core processor and RAM?

    The processor won't be upgradeable. Even assuming it's not soldered to the logic board and could be swapped without affecting the warranty (it can't), the Core 2 Duo and Core i5/i7 do not use the same socket; you can't replace one with the other.

  • How do I use my serial number to find information about my MacBook Pro's Processor and RAM?

    So I want to find information about my MacBook Pro's processor and RAM using the serial number because the MacBook no longer works. I remember being able to find this information on the apple website before, maybe by using the coverage checker. Did they take this information out of the coverage checker? Is it no longer possible for a costumer to obtain this information?

    Append the last three characters of it to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.
    This won't reveal how much RAM it currently has installed.

  • Kernel Power error after Win 7 and RAM upgrade

    Hello,
    I posted earlier on the subject of win7 and ram upgrades.  I did both and it seemed to go fine.  I did the ram first ... replaced a 667Mhz 1gb with a 800Mhz 2gb.  A couple of days later the computer just shut itself down and restarted.  Since then it has done it another 5 times, seemingly at random.  Yesterday I decided to spend some time looking into it and found the 'event log'.  All the shutdowns are recorded as 'critical'.  A search on the web/here showed other occurences of the fault associated with drivers as much as anything.
    After I did the win update I did update almost every driver with ones from this site.
    Other than the shutdowns the only issues I have which are of very mild concern are the length of time the fingerprint reader takes to be present and that occasionally the cursor is unavailable for about a minute after logging on. When you try and control it it jumps about anywhere but where you want it to go.   I rolled back the alps driver and that seems to have sorted the cursor issue.
    So, details of the shutdown from the event log are as follows.

    There's more (I've shown it all below) but it's not that important.  When I looked into it I found details of the problem on the microsoft knowledge base.  Its described here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028504.
    I believe I fit into scenario 3 for cause and resolution.
    So, it seems that win7 and mixed speed ram may be a problem on some computers ... probably only a tiny number, but it looks like the HP3507 is one of them.  I did see somewhere that I could down speed from 667 to 266 which might help with memory compatability but I can't see anywhere on the the insydeH20 bios where to do it.  BIOS is version F18 .... upgraded from F15 as part of the Win7/RAM ugrade.  
    Before I swap back to the 'old' memory I'll see if anybody here can come up with any ideas.  It may be that I have to sell off the expensive 2gb memory (ddr2 800mhz 200 pin) for £39.99 from maplin at a bargain price and get 2gb of 667Mhz from somewhere.
    The full 'detail' regarding the fault is below.
    Bye for now.

    Hi DWeiland and Schwede,
    Thanks for your replies. Yes I did the runtime engine registry change and also mass compiled the LV7.1 folder and my sourcecode. I still see the problem as I have set the LV adapter as Lv 7.1.1 runtime engine. Now I have changed it to LV7.1 development system. With this setting, it is not giving any error. Thus I don’t see any problem now. The older version of the code had the adapter as the runtime engine for some reason, now I have changed the setting to the development system. I hope that it shouldn’t be a problem.
    Thanks again!
    Thank you,

  • I have a 2008 vintage iMac with 2.8GHz processor and recently upgraded to  OS X 10.9.5.  Soon after theupgrade the mail system started switching the senders address to another address, but same user name.  How do you fix this?

    I have a 2008 vintage iMac with 2.8GHz processor and recently upgraded to  OS X 10.9.5.  Soon after theupgrade the mail system started switching the senders address to another address, but same user name.  How do you fix this?

    Thanks for the reply,.  I went to the site provided and executed the directions but this did not solve the issue. 
    Even more details:
    If I send a message to the Jane Doe address from another account on this machine (all my family uses the same email services provider and each have accounts set up on this machine), when you open it, it shows Jane Doe then the <applejax.xx> address AND the picture associated with the Apple Jax account.
    So the problem shows up when the message is sent to this account from this machine, AND when it is sent from this machine from this account.  No other accounts on the machine are effected.
    I have sent and received email messages from the mail service provider's website, and everything is fine.

  • HDD and RAM Upgrade Questions...

    I am thinking about upgrading my HDD and memory. My computer is a Qosmio X870-BT3G23. HDD is about 1TB and also have 12GB RAM. I am not sure how to upgrade my RAM as I heard the other 2 memory slots are not user accessable. How would I go about upgrading HDD and transfer all my stuff over? I think my computer has slots for 2 HDDs, but not sure... Thoughts on both HDD and RAM upgrade appreciated 
    Qosmio X870-BT3G23

    Skeet, here are the SPECIFICATIONS for your machine if you have not seen them.  And on pages 44-53 of your User's Guide is a very thorough description of the adding memory process. As far as transferring files are concerned, at the Start screen, type Easy Transfer, hit Enter and follow instructions.
    The specifications indicate you can have 16GB memory in the two accessible memory slots without concerning yourself about the 2 hidden slots. I personally can't imagine why anyone could need more than 16GB memory and 1TB HDD but, of course, that's your call.

  • Can I Upgrade My Processor And RAM?What Is Compatible?

    Hello, I Got A New Laptop Recieved From A Trade,And Was Wondering What And How To Upgrade My CPU And RAM? My Laptop Info: -Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B800 @ 1.50GHz, 1500Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processors-BIOS Ver. Hewlett-Packard F.33-SMBIOS Ver. 2.7-x64 Bit-2GB RAM(MAX 8GB) Basically I Wanna Upgrade The Laptop For Better Speed/Performance.Im Not Using It For Gaming Etc.Just For Faster Internet Browsing Etc....So Basically A Laptop For Google,YouTube Etc. NOTE: MY INTERNET MBPS IS AROUND 600Mbps WIRELESSLY. My Questions: 1.What Processor's Are Best?,And What Processor's Are Compatible With My Laptop? 2.Do I Just Replace The Processor?Or Motherboard? 3.What RAM Is Compatible With My Laptop? 4.Also What Is The Best Hard Disk Upgrade?(DONT NEED MORE THAN 500GB) 5.How Do I Go About Replacing And Installing The Processor? Thank You!!

    Huffer wrote:
    This is the source of information about your laptop: the Service Manual: Download Manual here Unfortunately if you look on page 19 you see that Celeron models have their own type of motherboard which means you could only install a different Celeron processor. You could theoretically buy one of the i3/i5 motherboards and install it but that would mean a new motherboard and processor. The cost will approach a new laptop price.  How much memory do you have? Your model was a WalMart Black Friday special a few years back and came with 2 gigs. Increase it to 8 or at least 4. 4 would be cheap as all you would have to do is add a 2 gig module.  Here is the part number for a 4 gig module: 4 GB 621569-001 Here is the 2 gig on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Upgrade-100-6100ix-PC3-10600-1333MHz-PARTS-QUICK/dp/B00FDV69CE/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1437999207&sr=8-6&keywords=621565-001 Then save that money you want to spend on the motherboard and processor and just buy a solid state drive. You can get a 250 gig solid state drive for under $100 now. Install it and do a clean reinstall of Windows onto it and you will think you have installed an i5 processor and 8 gigs of RAM. Makes everything pop open, boots way, way faster, etc. The solid state drive is the same physical configuration as a hard drive and is a drop-in replacement. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1437999378&sr=1-1&keywords=Samsung+850+Evo Pages 45 and 46 of the Manual show memory upgrade and hard drive removal and reinstallation. Good luck. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it. so would i be able to upgrade to a  Intel Core i5-2430M 2.40-GHz processor (1333-MHz FSB, 3.0-MB L3 cache, dual core, 35 W; not supported on computer models equipped with Windows 7 Starter 32-bit operating system)???

  • Can the processor and ram be upgraded for an affordable price?

    Okay, so I've had my PowerBook 15inch for about 6 or 7 years now. I love it. I have a number of reasons for wanting to keep it. Like ports that fit hard drives that newer MacBook Pro's don't seem to have. I'm a photographer and use it for a lot of digital imagery. How ever, it uses the PowerPC processor and I'm finding that a lot of websites won't let me use it without a intel based Mac. I'm having issues trying to download some PDF's. I'm told this is because I'm not using an intel based Mac. Finally, newer software is starting to require that I have an intel based Mac.
    I'm on the move all the time and never at home. Much of my entertainment comes from Netflix and video games such as World of Warcraft. I can't stream video from Netflix and soon I won't be able to play video games on my PowerPC based Mac. I was laid off and I've got little money. I DO NOT want a PC, but can't afford a Mac at this time. I was wondering if the processor could be upgraded as well as the ram for an affordable price.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    You can upgrade your RAM to 2GB. If you want to see if that will help for programs you run, bring up the Activity Monitor, on your hard drive in applications/utilities. On the system memory tab look at page ins and page outs. If page outs are 10% to 15%+ of page ins, you can use more memory for what you run. A page out is when there isn't enough physical memory to run everything, and the system writes some memory to disk to make room for something else. Too much of this can hamper performance.
    On the CPU, as was pointed out, you can't upgrade it.

  • UPGRADING PROCESSOR AND RAM

    Hello, pls i'm asking to know the possibility of upgrading my processor from AMD A6-3430MX APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics to an A10 processor, which will boost the strength of my gaming...is it possible to buy only the A10 processor and replace it on my A6 because the current processor does not support most of my gaming needs while i have enough video graphics memory (1.5gb Radeon). However, i also want to know the amount of maximum RAM the computer can accomodate because currently i have 6gb RAM and i'm thinking of upgrading it to 8gb. Will these changes affect the computer negatively? or what? because i think it the best economical option for me rather than waiting to buy a bigger laptop with a higher processor...Games that require such high specs include upcoming Watchdogs, Need for Speed Rivals, Call of Duty ghost, Upcoming Hitman 6, and so many others...I'm waiting for a feedback

  • Lenovo Yoga 11s SSD and RAM Upgrade - Great Results

    Picked up a Lenovo Yoga 11s from Best Buy.  I chose Best Buy for price, color, and processor.  They had a slightly better deal than Lenovo.com.  The clementine color looks great.  Quality is great.  I'm very happy with the purchase.  It has the i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD.
    I upgraded the SSD and RAM and found the upgrade relatively easy.  Here is a basic step by step and results.  (note the parts I chose increased the cost by close to $400.  I chose these parts based on quality, performance, and power usage.  There are cheaper alternatives, but I wanted an upgrade and money was not my concern.)
    Upgraded Parts
    RAM - Patriot Memory 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHZ CL11 1.35V - Purchased at Newegg, but could have saved a couple dollars on Amazon.
    I chose this part based on previous experience with Patriot and the low voltage RAM.  A lot of the RAM is higher voltage and I wanted to make sure I reduced heat and power usage.  When you look for 1.35V RAM, there are not a lot of options...
    MSata SSD Drive - Intel SSD 525 Series 240GB Drive
    Intel SSD Page
    I purchased through Newegg
    I chose the Intel drive based on previous experience with Intel.  They cost more, but I've found their performance to be good and reliability good.  There is also a good review on this drive on Tomshardware Tomshardware Intel 525 Review.  Toms review shows top performing drive and low power.  I also looked at many other manufacturers and Intel had the lower power consumption.  This means less heat and longer battery life.
    Cloning Software
    Intel provides a free cloning software from Acronis
    My Digital SSD MSata external case
    I purchased through Newegg.  
    Nice quality device.  I used this to help in cloning the OEM SSD to the new Intel drive.
    T5 Torx Screw Driver
    I purchased this from Home Depot T5 Torx Home Depot
    I read all the reviews, posts and issues around cloning the Win8 SSD drives.  Many people have/had issues.  I was prepared for problems.  Another reason I chose Intel, as they have migration software that I felt would be top notch.
    You need to have the Hardware Manual handy.  I read how to remove keyboard and top cover.  This is required to upgrade RAM and SSD.  It was very easy.  Take your time.  Note, this is very different than the Yoga 13 youtube video for part removal.  I think it's easier.  Here is the link to download manual Yoga 11s Hardware Manual.
    How to clone your SSD
    I expect if you're doing this project you can learn how to use the Intel software for cloning.  Read the web, watch their youtube video.  Read the manual...
    Remove your factory SSD and insert new Intel SSD (note, you must insert Intel drive in notebook for cloning.  Do not try and clone on the USB external drive.  Intel software will not detect drive properly).  Create a bootable version of the Intel software on a USB drive.  Install your factory OEM SSD in the external MSata SSD drive.  Go to BIOS and set boot to support legacy, no fast boot, boot to USB.  
    Boot to the Intel Acronis app on the USB drive.  Then connect your OEM SSD via second USB port.
    Then follow the wizard on Intel's software.  Cloning process took less than 5 minutes.
    Unplug your USB devices, go to BIOS and set all all your boot settings back to factory UEFI, fast boot etc.
    The PC booted to windows second try.  The first time it said it has issues and went through a process to repair.  It then said it failed.  I rebooted again and it went straight to windows.  Did all my windows updates and everything is fine. 
    Performance 
    Windows Performance Improvement
    Memory - Factory score was 5.9 - Patriot Memory is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
    Hard Drive - Factory score was 6.2 - Intel 525 Drive is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
    This pc is crazy fast booting and shutting down.  It boots in 7 seconds.  Not sure it's really faster than OEM, but I've never seen a pc boot this fast.
    Over all performance is fast.  I installed Office 2010 pro from a USB drive in under 5 minutes.  Web browsing is crazy fast.  I'm super impressed with the speed of this pc.  Much faster than I expected.
    Size, Shape, Weight, color is great.  Performance is great.  Happy with upgrades and quality of parts.  May be my best notebook purchase to date.  I don't have any battery life numbers to report yet.  Everything is new and I haven't really spent much time off the charger.
    Issues I've experienced during this upgrade of parts
    I first tried to clone the SSD drive by putting the Intel drive in the USB enclosure first.  The intel software would not work as the PC detects the external SSD drive as a SCSI drive and Intel cloning software could not identify the drive as an Intel Sata drive.  I called Intel and they had no advice or help.  I also tried a few other cloning softwares that ultimately did not work.  As a last resort I switched the drives and everything worked great.  Lesson learned, swap the drives first and use Intel software to clone.
    Factory restore - doesn't work.  Not sure why the factory restore is not working on my new Intel drive.  Windows works great!  All the partitions are there.  I suspect I messed up the OEM restore portion of the drive.  At one point I thought I had booted to the Intel drive, and tried the restore (I had about 7 failed cloning tries before the final one worked as I outlined above).  It went through the restore process and then failed.  However, what I later found was that I had actually booted to the OEM drive in the external USB case and I may have corrupted the restore functionality.
    I contacted Lenovo Support and explained I could not restore using the 1 key restore.  They walked me through some basic troubleshooting and then opted to mail me factory restore disk.  I have the disk and will keep them available for when/if I ever need to restore.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I upgraded from the Yoga 13 to the 11S and am happy to report that the machines are so identical that apparently you can just yank the SSD from one and drop it in the other. I had upgraded my 13" to 240gB SSD + 8gB RAM and simply plopped the two components into the 11S and after about 30 seconds of Windows alerting me that it was 'setting up devices' the machine booted normally and has been working perfectly since!

  • MacBook 7,1 HDD and RAM upgrade advice and brand recommendations

    Question
    I'm upgrading a MacBook 7,1 from it's original HDD and RAM and I'm wanting to get ideally 8 GB RAM (2x4GB RAM) and a 1TB@7200RPM HDD. What brands do people recommend?
    Reasoning
    I now need to do a lot more video editing on this MacBook (FCPX, Motion 5, Compressor 4) and don't have the money now to get a new MacBook Pro, especially considering my current MacBook has only been in use for 1.5 years.
    Also, If anyone has a better suggestion than upgrading my HDD and RAM, or doesn't think these upgrades will function well with my MacBook, please tell me.
    MacBook 7,1 original specs
    2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
    2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory @ 5400 RPM
    250 GB HDD

    Faster RAM will have a great chance to lead to problems. If it works it will not be noticeably faster; The bus speed is still 1066. Ram being cheap I would either put in more ram and not faster ram, buy from high reputation suppliers like Crucial, OWC.
    The 7200 will not lead to problems, be sure that it is compatible, the fastest way to replace if you are using (snow) leopard OS: make a clone of the existing drive to the new one, boot from it when still outside, to test;  replace the internal disk with the new one, et voila...

  • My Mid 2009 Macbook pro (Just purchased) will not turn on after hard drive change and ram upgrade

    So i purchased a mid 2009 Macbook Pro from a guy with 4 gb of ram and 250gb hard drive. It worked perfectly fine when i booted it with his hard drive and ram installed.
    I spilled beer in my old computer (late 2009 15" 500gb hard drive and 8gb ram) but took the hard drive to get tested and it worked fine. i later found out it was from a 2010.
    Like an idiot i assumed the pro i just purchased would be able to handle the same upgrades that were in my old computer so i threw in the 500gb hard drive (2010) and the 8gb of ram.
    The thing booted up fine, just a bit slow which i chalked up to my hard drive sitting unplugged for a long time.
    After about 3 minutes it crashed on me. Confused i replaced the 4gb of original ram back into it. (the 8gb ram was pny i bought from ebay so i thought it could be that) It decided not to turn on or show any lights on the front except for the battery meter.
    After this i replaced the original hard drive and still NO LUCK!! im really mad because i am in desperate need of the information on my original 500gb hard drive and im afraid i have destroyed 2 computers and about $1K worth of cash out the window.
    HELP please enlighten me on what i have done and if the situation can be fixed.

    UPDATE: Problem solved with the old hard drive in it, Now the less pressing issue:
    Will the computer run my 500gb hard drive with all my information on it? I need to forward a resume and it is on that hard drive.

  • Hard Drive and RAM upgrades for latest 15" MBP

    I'm minutes from ordering a new MBP. Only concerns are whether I get hte Apple upgrades or shop around.
    I like this Hard Drive...
    http://www.compu2000.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=6433
    And this RAM upgrade...
    http://www.a-power.com/product-10937-311-4
    If these are equivalent to the apple options I can save hundreds and get a 320 GB drive, which will make a great portable.
    So, does my plan hold water?

    You're on your own for support when you do your own upgrades like this, but generally speaking, it works fine.
    Note that HDD is less risky than RAM. With RAM you run the risk of unstable behavior that is tougher to diagnose. That said, a quality RAM upgrade and some initial testing with any of many available tools is as good as a factory build.
    HDD upgrades are less risky, and I've upgraded (well, replaced after HDD death) ones in my MBPs many many times. I crunch my hard drives more than normal and have to generally replace them about every year. Some of the MBPs don't make this easy, and prepare to get all sorts of cozy with little 0 and 1 sized Phillips screwdrivers and some T6 as well, but it is doable (just not quite for the truly faint of heart).
    Again, you're on your own for support once you do this, so weigh that in your decision.

  • I'm using mac pro 3,1. can I update processor and ram as sam as mac pro 5,1?

    I'm using mac pro 3,1. I would like to upgrade to mac pro 5,1. However, I don't want to buy the new mac pro machine. I want to ask about the case I just want to upgrade the mainboard and ram only for cheaper price. I don't know that is possible or not. If yes, how much for the upgrade cost?

    $2100 for Special 5,1 2.8
    pull the 2.8 and slap in a 6-core 3.33 W3680
    Wait and save, you will wish you had when Ivy Bridge has PCIe 3.0 and everything
    Read what IDF and Intel are showing for 2012
    There isn't as huge a jump in 5,1 as I think you assume.
    Get some SSDs, RAM, PCIe 6G card
    And you should look into 5770 or better which you can take full advantage of.

  • Role of graphics card, processors and ram in conversions?

    Does anyone know what role if any a computers graphics card, processing power and ram has in the quality of conversions? I don't mean cases where a computer is unable to run a program (or handle a conversion in a reasonable time period). I mean will the same conversions (same settings, files, formats) look better if done on more powerful computers. I'm using final cut studio and downconverting from HD to SD using quicktime and converting from PAL to NTSC using compressor.
    my specs are 2 2.6 processors, 4 ram,
    graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB of GDDR3 SDRAM and dual-link DVI

    What compressor settings do you recommend?
    The best workflow I've come up with is qucktime conversion from HDV PAL to SD 10-bit PAL, then compressor conversion from 10-bit Pal to DVDPR0 50 NTSC.
    By coincidence I decided to try the initial conversion (HDV to 10-bit) this morning on compressor (but I didn't change the frame rate; i didn't know they were relavant for HD downconvert; I only been change them for the PAL-NTSC conversion).
    At first glance, the compressor 10-bit conversion doesn't look better than the quicktime conversion (due to the frame rate settings?). I don't know for sure because I haven't sent it back to compressor for PAL-NTSC conversion and on to DVD SP.
    One issue I'm worried about is the dimensions. quicktime's 768 x 576 (preserve aspect ratio checked; letterbox selected) was the only dimension setting that produced a film that looked right (on the dvd; it's squished in final cut). I don't see that option in compressor. I suppose I could type it in the frame size boxes.
    Anyway, I would be most grateful for answers to these questions. I've spent a few weeks on this and am past the point of frustration. I just plod along, zombie-like, trying a few different things every day, dimly hoping to hit the jackpot eventually. Actually, I've been planning on trying to downconvert using my HDV/DV deck (print to tape in HDV; then change settings to downconvert and capture as DV). Would that help?
    how do pro studios handle downconverting? What kind of hardware do they use? I'm an independent filmmaker, working on a small budget for the time being, but eventually, once the film is over and (hopefully) I have more money, I'll be willing to pay for a good pro conversion. Do you know what that costs? The film will be 80 minutes long.
    thanks again for your help.
