I got problems, help!

Hello people, i got a Compaq V2424NR, with turion ml-34, 512 ddr 2700, 100gb fujitsu, xpress 200m.

Well, it came with BIOS F. 11 and i downloaded the F. 13 and flash it, but now i can't set no more the processor to Battery Life on BIOS setup, it always on Perfomance, alaways running 1.8ghz, but my battery go away in 1 hour. Even if i change to Battery Life it doesnt work anymore.

Sorry bad english, brazilian here.

Another question: Why i can't play Counter Strike on Wide mode full screen (i mean 1200 x 768) it only have 2 option widescreen that is bigger

thx for the help

 

I don't know anything about your computer problem, but I can tell you that your English is as good as many Americans I've met.

Good luck.

 

have you tried reflashing it back to 11? why on earth would you need to update a bios any ways?

 

If there's no mention in the BIOS of Cool 'n Quiet or PowerNOW! or anything similar it must be forcing power management to be enabled. Or... sometimes you have to load BIOS setup defaults after flashing in a new BIOS. Try that. I always do that after flashing in a new BIOS just to be safe.

Sometimes reinstalling the AMD processor driver is necessary, for some unknown reason.

Worst case you can use RMClock or CrystalCPUID to manage your speed and voltage, and undervolt while you're at it.

 

thx everyone for the help support

cya

 

Omg, i still having problems, i tried installing the AMD driver but it doesnt work, still running at 1.8ghz in "Battery life" mode on bios setup...

can someone help?

thx

 

Maybe try going back to BIOS f. 11.

 

how i do that?

 

Go to hp.com and look for the software & Driver downloads section. Click on that and put in compaq v2000 in the search box. Just click on any of the choices that come up and a list of available drivers will come up. You will see the current BIOS on there but click on the "previous" line and you will see choices for previous BIOS that you can download. Good luck!
