DDR2 is a best for you. Try to buy this type of ram for your pc. It will increase your PC speed. Thanks for asking.

If you don't know what your talking about please don't post.

His computer won't take ddr2, if he had followed your advice he would be wasting money on the wrong part.

Thanks

This could be a plethora of different problems. it could be an overheating issue, or it could be a number of hardware issues.

My suggestion is, get as much info as you can off your hard drive and buy a new laptop. laptops are a dime a dozen these days.

thanx jermaghs07 for replying....
Sir, i think there is no problem with the battery because...I operated the laptop with the battery removed and laptop running directly on power, but the problem still occured...

Does it just completely power off instantly or does it follow the shutdown procedure and log you off then shut down?

Yea. I have had laptops that the battery lasts like caperjack said almost 5 years.

I would buy a replacement battery and use it for a while, if after 18 months it does the same thing you might want to take your computer to a tech and let them check it over and see if there is anything wrong.

When buying a new battery, remember the more cells the better.

Is your original ram 667mhz? you could sell the one 2 gig stick and replace it with a 1 gig 800mhz that will solve your performance issue.

There are companies out there that make replacement batteries for all sorts of laptops. but they will Void your HP warranty.

The battery dissipating that much in only 18 months? That is unusual and may be something wrong with the computer. i would turn it in to HP if possible.

Do you use this a lot to travel? does it move around a lot?

one of the battery connections inside the case could have come loose? If you are skilled enough you could take off the case and make sure all of the wires are making proper connection.

Actually the OS IS of importance. If you are running a 32bit OS you can't even use 4 Gigs. a 32bit OS will only recognize a little over 3 gigs. so using 4 would be completely pointless.

This was Pulled strait off of MSI's website

Main Memory

•
Supports dual channel DDR2 400/533/667/800, using four 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs.
• Supports the memory size up to 4GB
• Supports 1.8v DDR2 SDRAM DIMM

Here is the link if you don't believe me.

My suggestion back it down to one 2gig stick and 1 1gig stick and see if that works. Put the 1 gig stick it the 1st position.

You may need to reformat the second disk. just go in and use partition magic or something like that and wipe the second one, then try and set up raid

He can't get to the OS, How is he supposed to check control panel? LOL

Have you tried running a linux live CD to try and acces the data on your Hard Drive?

You can load Knoppix into ram then use it to access your HDD and maybe put some of those files onto a harddrive or CD.

Yea i got it figured out. there was a setting in my router to enable wireless G

Thanks

Check your BIOS and see if the cold boot options are the same as the restart options if they are not, make it so.

it may not help, but it won't hurt.

It won't really speed up the internet browsing, It may help the frame rate when you are streaming videos and make them run a little smoother though. It would be worth $50

Is some cases all of the PCI slots run through the AGP to get to the South Bridge. yours may be one of those cases.

So if your AGP is Fried then you won't be able to use any PCI slots.

You need to Zero Out both drives and start from scratch. make sure both drives are wiped and have no partitions then install the OS

For the first guy. Buy a new battery, they aren't very expensive and you can get one with more cells that will last longer.

For the second guy Mr Danishtahir87 Check you power options in vista and make sure they are set to conserve power in battery mode. you can also turn the brightness of your screen down. If that doesn't work you also may need a new battery.

That graphics card suggests using a 500W PSU. If i were you i would get at least a 550 or a 600W. you can never have too many watts. lol

But the CPU over heating doesn't sound like a PSU problem. Are you using the factory Heat sync that came with the CPU?

Make sure you don't get the thermal paste on the pins of the CPU or in the socket. most pastes have a metal compound in them and it could short out your CPU/mobo.

And remember a CPU is a ZIF socket. that stands for Zero Insertion Force. If you have to push it in you are doing something wrong. you might have to tap it just a little to make sure it is seated but DO NOT PUSH.

I don't know your level of expertise so i am just making broad suggestions so do not be offended.

IT's weird. I just read through the specs and it says to use 4 gigs of ram they have to be 4x 1gig, but the motherboard only has 2 memory slots. I have never seen this before.

Are you running a 64bit OS?

oh yea,
Next time you want to upgrade your system, let a professional do it.

Yes, you probably shorted out your memory slot. the beeps it is making is an error code. try turning it on again and write down the error code. it should be like 3 short beeps, long short long, short long short, or something like that. take that info and look up the error codes of your motherboard, that will tell you exactly what went wrong.

but more than likely you ruined your motherboard and need to buy a new one. may i suggest one with ddr2, you can't put those in backwards unless you are really trying.

Hope this helps

you would probably get an error the first time you started up your machine. they have a max ram capacity for a reason

Let's just face it. no system is Ever going to be "Hack Proof". take the CIA for example, they came out and said that their system was hack proof, then all these hackers started hacking it. then they upgraded the system and they hacked it again. with every new breed of security comes a new breed of hacker. there is always someone smarter, If you say it can't be done then there are always those that try to prove you wrong. it's human nature.

I feel your pain man. somtimes computers just aren't good enough from the factory.

"Mod or Die" that's my motto

you just need an adapter like one that normal posted. but a like he said, Most Mobo's will have at least one.

Yes... Warranties are good. as long as you don't void them like i tend to do.

new computers have SATA just to clear that one up.

The operating system shouldn't matter. what you need to find out is does your motherboard have a sata connector? my guess is that since your computer is old enough to still have ME you don't. let us know how your friends solution works out.

www.overclockers.com

they can tell you all you need to know about overclocking and more.

that is interesting. the exclamation mark either means that is doesn't have a driver installed or the hardware is bad. you said that in re-installed drivers so my guess is that your vid card is bad.

There are usually 2 IDE connections on the motherboard; one cable connected to the motherboare can handle 2 hard drive - 1 master, 1 Slave - the slave being the farthest out from the MB connector. The second connector can handle 2 more drives; 1 master and 1 slave.

I used the phrase for wiggle room on the chance that I left something out. I really suggest that you try to get to the drive by using the ribbon cable - get all the data off the drive to a safe place before you do any playing ariound.

get all the pieces you need together 1 working pc; a ribbon cable with room for the drive - it should come together just fine - if it doesn't, then let me know - I accept private messages

The master is the farthest from the motherboard and the slave is the middle connector...

depending on how new the laptop is it could be SATA in that case you will need a computer with sata. is the connection really small or is it about 2 1/2" wide?

You might try searching ebay or something and try to find a replacement mobo for that specific computer. i think normal is right, i don't think they make a mobo that supports a new CPU and DDR 400.

667 isn't backwards compatible to 533.
you can get a 533 DIMM. my suggestion is take your computer so someone competent and tell them to upgrade it for you. any Tech who hasn't heard of double sided ram should not be working on a computer.

yea.... ummm... why do you want to overclock again? you say you don't want to overclock it much. but to be able to tell a difference in performance you would have to overclock it by alot. if you overclocked it from a 2.5 to like a 3.0 or a 3.2 you would see a performance increase. but with that comes all the things you mentioned you didn't want to do...

my advice. don't overclock at all. that is a good CPU don't shorten is life span just for a MINOR performance increase. trust me you would need a stress test to be able to tell the difference.

some laptops are maxed out on memory when they come from the factory. i had a sony Vaio that had the same problem. it came with 2, 256 sticks of Ram and i replaced it with 2 X 512 and it wouldn't even turn on. i called sony and they said that the max memory was 512. so your motherboard probably won't support more that it was shipped with. they do that to cut back on cost and so you have to buy a new one in 2 years

Is the processor dual core?

People need to read the ENTIRE post before replying..
He said in his original post that it was a Pentium 4(single core)
and that he replaced the HDD on 7/08/08 so the HDD is only a few months old, and that wouldn't matter anyway because he had the problem prior to replacing the hard drive.

sounds good...

I would suggest an 850W PSU.
Water cooling is pretty much a waist of time and money. they do cool other things besides the cpu but you have to buy either a special component made for water cooling or a special adapter to fit each component. air cooling technology has come a long way in the past few years and is just as good and much much cheaper. get a good heat sync and fan and a hard drive cooler and expansion slot cooler for your graphics card and a couple case fans and you will be good to go.

as far as how far you would have to overclock to need a water cooling system. it's hard to say. i have a 2.8Ghz dual core running at 3.4 with a copper heat sync and fan and it is just as stable as can be.

hope this helps.

at those temps it sounds ok... i would at least put an exhaust fan in though. i agree with willcomp. you need to draw the CPU exhaust away from the PSU. even with the exhaust funnel on the heat sync the hot air will still get sucked into the PSU.

Fist of all the CPU doesn't beep. that is coming from a speaker mounted on the motherboard. now willcomp is right the beeps can mean a lot of different things.

You might try updating your BIOS.
If that doesn't work you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, symply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed - it will silently disable acpi and allow you to continue your instillation

yea i don't know if it will ever come in handy or not but i thought it was neat.

try installing service pack 3.

hey guys.

i am very new to programing and was wondering if anyone else had seen this little trick.

this is a little java code to get a saved password prom a website.

javascript:alert(document.forms[0].elements[1].value)

the forms and values change from site to site but this code works for this site.

if you click remember me on this website and then log out and type that code into the URL spot then it will return your password.

i just kinda thought it was neat.

give it a try

Dear sir
I have proble that display related. pc moniter for ok,
RAM for ok,SMPS for ok. solve my problem .
anythin masage (abcd.....)som no displa

First of all i can't understand you!!!
second of all if you have a question regarding your own problem then you need to start a new thread. and please list as many details as you can and type legibly.

Thank you

sorry to disappoint.

yea the software on the device itself is bad. this has been a problem with these before. there was actually a guy asking about this exact same problem a few weeks ago. i think he wound up just throwing it away and buying one from wal-mart.

can you connect router 1 and router 2 together? and why do you have 2 routers why don't you just run all of your stuff through router1?

that is a very good question... i will have to look into that a little and get back to you.

another thing is you need to make sure that it hasn't harmed any of the other hardware in the computer before you just replace that one chip.
