purplekayc: My pc is a HP pro 3010 MT : what sort of nvidia card would be compatible with it @ all4naija??

list of optional cards for your machine are listed below:

ATI Radeon HD 4350 (512MB) FH PCIe x16 Card (for MT only)
ATI Radeon HD 4550 (256MB) DH PCIe x16 Graphics Card
ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB Dual Head PCIe x16 Card (FH for MT only)
NVidia GeForce G210 512MB ATX PCIe x16 (for MT only)
NVidia GeForce GT230 1.5GB PCIe x16 Card

The current onboard graphics card should auto disable itself
after adding an upgrade
. Source www.hp.com

download CPU-Z and see what your motherboard is, this will
allow you to see what you will be able to install

onegig:

Since you are a former engineer...just update the bios firmware.

Would recommend that you check the manufacturer website for
bios update information and check that it applies to the problem
you're having. check the more details section before applying the update.
Also you cannot disconnect/connect the charger whilst the update is in progress

remove all device, e.g. USB stick, cables and others.what's the laptop make and model
number.for example toshiba p300-20h windows vista.I learnt that you are a technician
try testing the memory and hard drive as well.

The truth is that you are just coming around without proper information about what is wrong with your system. I am suspecting RAM problem from this your comment. I would like you to change the RAM with a proper one(s) and try to do the Windows installation again.

Why you can not do new installation is beyond. You are not really providing us enough information to what the problem with your system is:

Please, post the memory log of the failure here for us to check it up to know what the actual problem is.

Thank you.

RAM can be Okay sometime but can be funny when they are not of the right frequency. Well, just take them out first and try them one by one. Put one of the RAMs into the slot and try to do the Windows installation. If it refuses try the other one and remove the previous one and try the installation again. If you succeeded then add the other one.

I hope you will try this out than saying your system is new. Which is not an excuse of system developing problem

Goto device manager and see if you have any yellow icon...if you do...then you have not installed the correct audio driver....you need to know the exact maker of the audio, so just visit your pC website and check the support area for driver downloads, download the audio driver, I am not use to zinox systems but most PC's will either come with a CD of the drivers or have a file on the PC which contains the drivers.

Pls help, my HP evny 14 trackpad is not working, I've tried a hard reset, reinstalled the os Win 7 premium several times, uninstalled and reinstalled the trackpad driver from the recovery application several times still no joy, I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the synaptics touchpad driver with the latest version, the light indicator at the upper left corner of the touchpad has refused to come up no matter how many taps. A look into the device manager says the "device is working properly" However I've noticed that in deveice setting - mouse properties there is no option to either "Enable" or "Disable" device. I simply don't know what to do again. An external usb mouse however works properly and that is what I've been using since this issue started. U professional opinions will be appreciated thanks
