Lenovo 3000 H210 Virtualization

I have a Lenovo 3000 H210 Desktop and there is no bios update for me to enable virtualization in my computer.
Where can i find a driver or any upgrade to the bios so that my i can install 64 bit vitual machine in my computer or
is that possible?
I'm running Windows XP with bios version: 52KT54A.4A.
Thanks.

I don't know everything about virtual but I do not see how you can run 64bit on 32bit system even if it's virtual or not. Why do you need to virtualize a 64bit os. Why not 32bit.

  • Lenovo 3000 H210 power consumption

    I have looked all over the internet for serveral hrs now to find the answer to this question and
    i want to know how much watts does my computer use.  i know it's 280 watt power supply but
    i want to know how much it uses out of the box.  it has no upgrades yet but need to know this
    to make upgrades.  thank you very much.  

    any support for this question please i'd really like to know how many watts my computer uses not just what it's rated. 
    there should be some figure available i would imagine...

  • No audio output on speakers plugged into 3000 H210

    I recently purchased a 3000 H210 57094408 running Vista home premium Service Pack 2 (all recent Vista updates have been installed). 
    With speakers plugged into the back output port, I was able to open Lenovo HD Audio Manager and obtain test tones in stereo through my speakers.  I couldn't, however, get audio from iTunes, YouTube, etc., nor could I get test sounds in Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Sound->Sounds.  In Control Panel->->Sound->Playback, I noticed that there were two speakers shown, one Realtek HD speaker that was "working" and the USB Audio CODEC speakers I'd plugged in, which were also "working" and demonstrating audio levels in the status bar to the right of the speaker icon (I was playing music in iTunes while checking the settings).  I made sure the cheapo speakers were selected as the default, but still no sound was coming out of said speakers -- the same speakers that had made the test sound noises in Lenovo HD Audio Manager.
    I suspected the HD speakers (the nature of which I knew not) were interfering with my cheapo speakers, so I disabled them, and they no longer appear in the list of speakers.  Now Lenovo HD Audio Manager shows no speakers at all, and the test tone option isn't available to me in that application.  Control Panel->->Sound->Playback still shows my cheapo speakers, but they do not even register sounds from iTunes anymore.  Both speakers appear in Device Manager, but I have no idea what the Realtek speakers are supposed to be -- no speakers were included with the Lenovo box.  If they are necessary (i.e., not really speakers but the method by which the sound card communicates with the speakers), how do I get them back up and running?
    Per the User Guide, I have reinstalled the driver for the audio card (Realtek audio ALC 888/662 VISTA driver), but that hasn't done anything.  I'm out of options at this point and would love any guidance!  Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    Update (and a successful one, no less)!  After an extended remix call with Lenovo support, we uninstalled and reinstalled the driver for the Realtek controller (found in Device Manager under the sound controllers), which solved the problem.  Guess the controller driver had been corrupted, which is why it could work in the HD Audio Manager program but couldn't in the other applications.  Anyway, thought I'd post the solution in case anyone else has the no audio issue -- they can avoid some of my detours and missteps!

  • Memory upgrade on Lenovo 3000 j100 (product number: 8254-E6G)

    First of all, sorry for my English (I'm trying to improve it)
    I run a Lenovo 3000 j100 Desktop with 1GB RAM with two modules of 512MB each one installed on the two slots that the mother board has.
    I want to upgrade that memory to 4GB, but I have some doubts about that upgrade that I need to solve before buying the new memory additions.
    I've read some commentaries about this topic and there are people who say that the maximum memory size for this models of Lenovo is 2GB RAM, I mean one module of 1GB on each slot.
    However, the manual says that these desktops can be upgraded to 4GB RAM.
    In consecuence, which is the maximum memory size supported by my Desktop's mother board ?
    Sorry for my English again, I hope someone could help me because I wrote this question to Lenovo support and this service answered that I had to read the manual, they didn't solve my question.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Many thanks for your answer, but the type of memory of my computer is not the same as yours.
    My Lenovo 3000 j100 memory sticks are not DDR2, they are DDR.
    They have a sticker with this text on: 
        NT512D64S88B0GY-5T
        512MB DDR-400MHz-CL3
        PC3200U-30331

  • Memory problem on a Lenovo 3000 0769-BAG

    Hi !
    I own this nice machine, and put into it a Linux 64 bits OS. (Fedora 7).
    Everything is working fine, but I needed more memory to be able to scan/process large images.
    So I went to Lenovo web site and saw I needed PC2-5300 Sodimm memory. For a maximum of 4GB.
    I've bought 2 Sodimm labelled like that : 2GB DDR2-667Mhz-CL5 based upon 16 chips labelled PR128MB-3 "Made in Taiwan" ...
    So I removed the 2 512MB modules and put the 2 2GB modules. The BIOS see them and count up to 4096 GB. Fine.
    But after POST, Nothing happens. No beep no disk activity, no nothing. The message "Press F1 to enter BIOS or F12 for boot menu " disapears, the cursor goes on the upper left corner and that's it.
    So I removed the first 2GB module and put an original 512 MB instead. The machine boots fine, I'm able to successfully test the RAM either with the Vista boot menu option or the Memtest which came with Fedora.
    I've swapped the 2 GB module and done the very same test. OK. So I'm pretty confident on the operation of the 2 2GB modules. Vista and Fedora proudly announce near 2.5 GB of memory (depending of the shared memory assigned to the Intel Graphic card)
    If I put the 2 GB module on the first slot, and the 512 MB atop, the machine refuses to boot.
    So, Either there is a problem with my memory modules, or there is a problem accessing the maximal capacity using 2GB modules ? What do you think and what should I do ?
    TIA !
    Oh, BTW the BIOS is 68ET21WW (V1.05)

    Very curious indeed!
    You mention you have BIOS V1.05, the latest on Lenovo is V1.02 but with the same number 68ET21WW that you have. Typo?
    Are there any memory settings in BIOS that you can play with?
    Put in a 512/2GB combo, go to this webpage from Crucial, scroll down and have it scan your system.
    Repeat with the other 2GB. What are the results?, are those 2GB sticks what they are supposed to be?
    As you run Linux, I am at a dead end here, no knowledge.
    I assume you have installed (not just downloaded) all the Lenovo updates for Windows?
    A 32-bit OS can only address 3GB, so 4GB would be a waste.
    A 64-bit OS (both Linux and XP or Vista) should be able to work with 4GB.
    Can you borrow a 1GB stick and see if it works with 3GB?
    EDIT:
    After hunting around on the web, it seems that there is a RAM limit for the Lenovo 3000 N100.
    Also, Lenovo says this on their website:
    1 GB (footnote 4) (2-512 MB DIMMS) PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz memory, expandable with optional SDRAM SO DIMM module to a maximum 2.0 GB (footnote 5)
    Support Center: 800-426-7378
    4: For PCs without a separate video card, memory supports both system and video. Accessible system memory is up to 128 MB less than the amount stated, depending on video mode.
    5: Memory options up to 1024 MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM SO DIMM can be added for maximum memory expansion.I picked up somewhere that some BIOSes test for an original Lenovo RAM stick, but could not find this reference again.
    If you get that 1GB + 2GB working, that will be the max, otherwise hope for a new BIOS that will allow for 4GB.
    On Buy.com (sells Kingston RAM), several users reported success with 2x 1GB Kingston RAM.

  • Lenovo 3000 C200 turns on but fails to start

    Greetings all!
    I have a problem with my Lenovo 3000 C200 and I'm hoping someone can help. Please be patient with me as I'm not as good with computers as I am with larger equipment. The problem goes like this:
    I bought the laptop used about a year ago, running Windows Vista Business. It has worked without any problems until a recent work related trip to California 3 weeks ago where a balloon popped up telling me Windows Live OneCare was expiring and I needed to uninstall it and replace it with a different antivirus software. I didn't think much about it at the time and was going to install the newest version of Norton when I got home and back to work but before I could, I started getting the following error messages popping up on the screen during startup and intermittently while the computer was running
    SYNTPENH.EXE (code 0cx0000142)
    RTHDVCPL.EXE
    MSASCUI.EXE
    PHOTOSCREENSAVER.SCR
    SHELLEXECUTEEXFAILED (code 3221225794)
    one of the guys I work with suggested I uninstall Windows Live OneCare and restart the computer but when I tried I noticed the "change/remove programs" prompt was missing. Also, I was unable to open Word documents, Excel files, download programs from the internet, etc.
    another coworker suggested it might be a virus or Trojan and attempted to connect his laptop to mine via a Belkin Easy Transfer Cable, thinking he would scan my hard drive remotely with the antivirus software on his computer and remove anything harmful. As soon as the cable was connected, it flashed an application error message on the screen of my Lenovo (I didn't see exactly what it said) and about 30 seconds later my screen went black.
    Now, when I press the power button, the fan comes on, it starts to make noise, the CD drive will start to spool up (if there's a disc in it) but stops before actually doing anything. Doesn't seem to matter if it's plugged in or running on battery, none of the F keys seem to do anything during this time and the screen never comes on. I've tried running the boot disc that came with it but no luck there either.
    I don't use this computer for much other than checking email when away from home, charging my phone and ipod and watching movies or doing paperwork on the plane. Unfortunately, I'm away from home a lot so it's pretty inconvenient to be without it!
    If anyone has a suggestion I'd really appreciate the help! If you've already covered this someplace else, please forgive the repost. And sorry for the book, just not sure what info might be helpful.
    thanks in advance!
    Roger

    Ok, here's the results:
    Tried plugged in but with battery out - no change
    Unplugged, removed battery, held power button for 30 seconds, reinstalled battery, replugged - no change
    Removed memory modules and reinstalled in original positions - no change
    Removed modules and tried one at  a time in different positions - this did change things! One module had no change in either location, the other allowed the computer to start and run (back to the point of the original problems with the error messages and unable to open word docs, etc) in both locations. Installing the second (bad?) module in addition to the "good" module caused the computer to not start again, removed it and computer restarts fine.
    So I'm guessing I need to replace the one apparently defective memory module and see if that takes care of the rest of the problems? Or is there something else I need to do to address the error messages and functionality issues?
    And by the way, thanks for all the help!

  • Missing Drivers - Downgraded from Vista Home to Windows XP Pro SP3 - Lenovo 3000 N100 Notebook

    Hey,
    I have a lenovo 3000 N100 as well and recently downgraded to Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.
    However, I have a lot of hardware drivers missing (yellow question mark) - 
    1) Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus
    2) Base System Device (listed thrice so I'm guessing there are three separate drivers needed)
    3)Network Controller
    4) Video Controller
    5) Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
    I have no audio or wireless either. Lastly, I have spoken to lenovo and they asked me to download some drivers from lenovo.com. I did and also downloaded every possible driver for XP on the lenovo site but still had no luck.
    I would really appreciate any help/guidance you can offer. I have exausted all resources at this point.
    My email is xxxxxxxxxxxxx so feel free to reach out to me there as well.
    Thanks a ton.

  • Memory upgrade for Lenovo 3000 V200 - only 2Gb seen :(

    I bought 2 Transcend DDR2 800 SO-DIMM modules 2Gb each to upgrade memory on Lenovo 3000 V200 notebook.
    When I installed them, BIOS (and Windows) sees only 2Gb instead of 4Gb (i use x64 OS so no prob with OS here).
    When I install one of new modules and original 1Gb that was in notebook initially - only 1Gb seen instead of 3.
    I already checked that all memory modules are OK, both memory slots (if used only one) are OK too.
    But when both slots used together only lowest volume memory module is seen.
    BIOS update to latest awailable (6th release, ...60WW) didn't help.
    In specification stated that this model support up to 4Gb memory but I can't force it to support even 3Gb, only 1 or 2.
    Is it possible to do something in this situation?

    Probably the Transcend memory is not compatible, it does happen.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 Startup Problem

    Hello,
    I recently installed a new harddrive which is a Samsung HM251JJ 250GB 7200rpm
    Before I inserted the new harddrive I disconnected the the power supply and akku as mentioned.
    I started the Laptop and after the message mouse initialized the System hangs... So I have no chance to get the Boot Menu to install the Operating System...
    First I thought, might be a problem with the harddisk itself but I've run a full harddrive scan with serveral tools also from Samsung itself but all reported that the haddrive should work fine...
    Next thing I did was a Bios update to the newest available version, which does not solved the problem.
    Another Idea I got was installing another harddrive this time also a Samsung with 250GB but instead of 7200rpm it had 5400rpm that drive worked fine...
    So I wonder if the Lenovo 3000 N200 does not support harddrives with a speed of 7200rpm???
    best regards

    I once had a "wake" key stuck on a keyboard, and the computer kept re-booting!
     I thought maybe the "one touch restore" button, or one of the F key could
    be stuck partially down.
    Your computer problem is very strange, have not heard of that one before.
    Sorry to be no help.

  • Lenovo 3000 J115 Memory/RAM Problem

    Hi everyone. According to the Lenovo website, the Lenovo 3000 J115 machine type 7387 is capable of 4GB of RAM. It has two DIMM slots and supports single or dual channel DDR2 memory. I really wanted to run with 4GB of RAM and it was a deciding factor when I bought the machine.
    I purchased two 2GB DDR2 memory sticks, put them in the machine, and the BIOS only shows 2.5GB. The machine runs fine like this, its just not using the memory.  There doesnt seem to be anything in the BIOS to help me out with this. I saw some other people had similar issues with other manufacturers machines, but they only needed to enable something called Memory Remapping in the BIOS to fix the problem. There isnt this feature in my BIOS. I installed the latest BIOS hoping that it would help, but it didnt. I also tried a 2GB and a 1GB memory stick just to see what happens and it still shows 2.5GB even with 3GB of RAM installed.
    Does anyone know how to get this machine to recognize 4GB of RAM, or even 3GB of RAM. I called support and at first they were trying to tell me it was a problem with Windows XP. Hmmm....I already told them I was running Windows Vista Home Premium. Which wouldnt matter anyway. If the BIOS doesnt see the memory, the OS wouldnt have anything to do with that. So how anyone could think it could be a problem with the OS is beyond me and flat out wrong. After explaining this and getting the team lead on the phone, they sent me out a new motherboard even though I was quite certain that wouldnt fix the problem, which it didnt. And now they are trying to tell me that it wont support 4GB of RAM after they cant think of anything else. The website says it does and that is why I bought the machine and the new memory, both of which I cannot return for a full refund.
    Is there anyone else out there that ran into this? Anyone that has more than 2.5GB in their Lenovo 3000 J115? If yes, did you need to do anything special or did it just work.

    The 3GB vs 4 GB limitation is actually a x86 issue, not operating system. A 32-bit system can only address 32 bits (4,096). There are a number of articles concerning this - Google 3GB vs 4 GB ram. Here is a link: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000811.h​tml
    The issue is basically a 32 Bit system can only address 4,096 of memory adressing. However in simple layman terms, the system must address all items on the bus like sound card, video, bios, pci bus, etc. (and the addressing of these items is like using memory).
    Anyone familar with the old dos days remembers the software and memory managers we used to move the video, bios, etc above the 1 GB limitation, that way we had 640 KB Memory available for the applications.
    Now several years later, we have hit the limit again, the 32-bit architectural now puts the addressing of items above the 3 GB level, leaving the lower 3 GB for memory use. So if 4 MB is installed, the 32-bit system addresses the computer components, then allocates what is left in the addressing range to the memory, thus why some systems with 4 GB do actually get 3.5 GB.
    So on systems with 4 GB, with large memory video card and several other addressable items, it is percievable to only be able to use 3 GB. In fact, the recommendation with 32 Bit systems is to install 3 GB memory.
    However, I do not know why the system wont recognize the installation in 3 GB mode only (have you installed only 3 GB total and see what it does?) My K100 system has 3 GB ram, (3) 1 GB sticks in 3 of the 4 memory slots. The system does recognize all 3 GB.
    In fact, this addresses the reason Lenovo only put 3 GB in my system (I thought 3 GB was weird), because 4 GB would not all be addressed and the additional ram would be a waste of money.
    Additional comments from users indicates that applications typically can only use the lower 2 GB anyway, thus leaving the last 1 GB for the OS (Vista). Unless you have applications that can use more Ram, the difficulty in getting the system to address the Ram differently wont gain you much.
    And even a 64 Bit OS may not fix the issue, because some chipsets are only 32 Bit, thus addressing the components in the same method, which maybe why your system only see 2.5 GB at the bios level.
    How much video memory you have? What do you have the allocation to the video memory set at in the bios?

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 BIOS problem

    Hello everybody! I'm a new entry in the forum, but i am a 6 year old user of a Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769) and i am very happy with its services so far! However, after a format that i make, i saw a BIOS update for this model, so i decide to install it. But the result wasn't the οne that i wish for. My poor laptop now when i try to open i can see just a black screen and nothing else. Although, i can hear the fan and the LEDs of the AC, HDD are light up (HDD's led is off after while). The laptop has got Windows XP 32bit.
    I think i must recover the old BIOS, but i would like to see your suggestions and anwsers first.
    Thank you.

    Hi LongBeacher,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that your N200 is displaying black screen when tried to turn ON after updating the BIOS, Remove the battery and any other peripheral device connected to the computer. Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then connect only the AC Adapter and try to turn ON the computer, check if the display is working also check if the computer display is working in External display.
    If the issue persists even after performing the above step, I would Strongly Suggest Calling Technical Support for Assistance. Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Hope this helps!!!
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.

  • Can't turn on my Lenovo 3000 N200

    Hello, I've got a problem with my Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop.
    Yesterday I used it without it's power supply, so it discharged. I let it charge, but none of the indicating power lights are lit up even though the power supply is good. It has now ''charged'' all night, but nothing has changed, no power lights and I can't turn it on. I'm confused, it's the first time when something like this happens, I haven't dropped it or anything it just completely discharged..
    I already tried 2 times this trick when you remove the battery, push the power button for about 30 seconds and then put battery back in, but it didn't work.. :/
    Any ideas or it's dead?

    could be power cord or mainboard issue due to "no power lights"
    i believe you don't have valid warranty but is it possible to contact local support center? you'll need probably some more help to diagnose the problem.
