Disable "Fast boot" in the BIOS.

 

It happens when rebooting from windows 7 and you have no UEFI, or ESP, boot or MSR partition, or GPT partition table, haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause of this yet.

  Hi Spardha I'm not sure that this is the answer to your problem although it seems it may be. 

 

HP Elite 7300/3300/3305 Microtower, HP Pro 3300 Small Form Factor - Password Security and Resetting CMOS.

 

 

There are several posts on this issue. so you may find the answere even if this is not the one.

Failing that, if you have not already looked then it may be a good idea to search the forum on "7300 elite password" which was all I did.

good luck

Re: Can upgrade a DC5800 with E7300 to a CORE 2 QUAD ??

I am trying to do the same thing but running into a lot of problems I was not expecting.

 

1)  I have upgraded to a Q8400 Quad core and now I get the 1801-Microcode Update Error and the CPU Fan stays at 100%.  Sounds like a hair dryer.

 

2)  I have loading Windows 7 pro 32bit and the audio drivers it auto loads do not work.  I have tried other IDT drivers for Windows 7 from the DC5800 minitower configuration and they don't work.  saying my hardware doesn't match.

 

I consider myself pretty good at PC building but this has me stumped.

Re: EliteDisk 800 G1, F11 recovery method.

Houzaifa, i commented on your other thread here...

 

I'm not sure what type of recovery method is used on your system but there many types of recovery methods used by HP/Compaq and other OEMs.

 

But when an OEM provides a recovery partiton on a HDD, the F-key recovery process requires an OEM boot sector to be placed on the HDD (and not the standard MS boot sector).

 

So if you re-install Win7 using a Microsoft Win7 install disk, the build process will not re-create a recovery partition (as the MS install disks know nothing about such recovery partitions) and the build process will write a standard MS boot sector to HDD (so even if the recovery partition was not wiped from the HDD, you couldn't access it using the F-key). 

 

In some cases the OEM may also provide special tools to make a recovery disk from the recovery partition but when restoring from such user made recovery disks, their process may not recreate the recovery partition or OEM boot sector.

 

Your best approach is to not worry about the missing recovery partition but if it does bother you, call HP support and see if they can clarify how you can rebuld your system to as factory delivered (which includes a recovery partition and the associated bloatware).

 

But to get clear help on these forums you need to be very specific on exactly what you have done/tried/used. Your first thread was unclear as you indicated you replaced the motherboard and then F11 would not work BUT you did not indicate you also replaced the HDD... And in this thread you are not clear what type of recovery disk you used (MS Win7 install disk, HP recovery disk, user made recovery disk via HP tools, user made recovery disk and system image using Win7 Backup & restore, etc).

 

Clarity helps...

HP 8100 Elite display port - Active when using PCIe graphics card?

$

I have an auxilary workstation using an 8100 Elite Mini Tower with an nVidea dual DVI card.  I'd like to add a third monitor to it without having to go the USB->VGA route.  I've tried hooking up to the DP port, but it appears to not be active.  Am I missing something or are the internal VGA/DP ports bypassed when using a discrete video card?

Hi:

 

I do not see any BIOS setup information on the 8100 Elite support page.

 

On the 8000 Elite and older models, the onboard graphics is disabled if a discrete video card is added.

 

On the 8200 Elite, there is a setting which may allow you to use both the onboard and discrete graphics at the same time.  I am not sure. However, I have no idea why they would have such a setting if you can't since there is no setting like that on the 8000 Elite and earlier models.

 

This is under the Advanced Tab in the BIOS:

 

Device Options Allows you to set:

Turbo Mode (enable/disable). Allows you to enable and disable the Intel Turbo Mode feature,

which allows one core of the system to run at a higher than standard frequency and power if

other cores are idle. Default is enabled.

Printer mode (Bi-Directional, EPP + ECP, Output Only). Default is EPP+ECP.

Num Lock State at Power-On (off/on). Default is off.

Integrated Video (enable/disable). Use this option to disable the integrated video controller

when another video controller is present in the system. Default is enabled.

Internal Speaker (some models) (does not affect external speakers). Default is enabled.

NIC Option ROM Download (PXE, iSCSI, disabled). The BIOS contains an embedded NIC

option ROM to allow the unit to boot through the network to a PXE server. This is typically

used to download a corporate image to a hard drive. The NIC option ROM takes up memory

space below 1MB commonly referred to as DOS Compatibility Hole (DCH) space. This

space is limited. This F10 option will allow users to disable the downloading of this

embedded NIC option ROM thus giving more DCH space for additional PCI cards which may

need option ROM space. The default will be to have the NIC option-ROM-enabled. Default is

PXE.

Multi-Processor (enable/disable). Use this option to disable multi-processor support under

the OS. Default is enabled.

Hyper-threading (enable/disable) (some models). Use this option to disable processor hyperthreading.

DC7900 SFF Fan/ Display/ Power Issues

Hi All,

 

I've read a few posts concerning some of these problems but I’d just like to know if anyone knows for certain if there is an inherent issue with this model concerning any of the above?

 

I'm a Technician in charge of about 100 of these workstations and suddenly in the last few weeks there have been a lot of instances of an issue where the computer becomes completely unresponsive (though still displaying frozen windows), the fan on the PSU starts working suddenly very hard and the only way to stop it is to hard reboot the machine.

 

There doesn’t seem to be any correlation between the instances; it has happened to computers running duel core, quad core, 32 & 64 Bit Windows 7, 1 output or 2 outputs. The only thing the event viewer shows is a Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power Event 41 (unexpected shutdown)

 

Any help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated, can provide details on anything

 

Thanks

Joel

I've been seeing this on a few of our 600s.  I can remote to them to save work and reboot.  Changing the power plan to high performance seems to stop it happening as the computer doesn't sleep.  It's most likely a setting in the power saver profile but I don't know which one.

 

Anybody found a solution to this yet?

I had a smilar problem and came to that point, when the during the process in the Assistent

a page opened up and gave some alternative how to update BIOS. I did use

HPQFLASH then i continued as below described, very important was

that you do not store and then install it. You must use Internet Explorer download

and run... (not store and then install)

 

The posting ofRegular Advisor helped me to solve my case, ignoring the Assistent in continuation.

Hi Andro,

 

You could see if it is possible to use Linux Knopppix to access the bsod minidump files - Knoppix is an easy to use free GUI OS that runs straight off of the DVD or memory stick you mount it on, its often really useful for accessing Windows related files when you can't boot normally and is great for diagnosing problems.

Missing BIOS Setting for new Video Card

$

Our comptuer is currently running 2 monitors (1 through VGA and 1 through Displayport) - both are using the integrated Intel GPU. We recently decided to up to 3 monitors, but do not have an addititonal port, and do not want to merely duplicated the screen. After researching compatible cards, we've purchased one and it installs fine. It's DVI-D port works and correctly sends output. The only problem is that the new card in the PCIe16 slot over-rides the integrated GPU, which turns off the original VGA and DisplayPort. 

 

 

HP - Update BIOS

 

The above link lists the directions to turn on the "Integrated Video" within the BIOS so that I am then able to call the Intel Integrated GPU as the boot, instead of the PCIe card. Everything I have found says this is all I need to do to stop the new card from over-riding the integrated GPU. HOWEVER, in my bios there is never an option to turn on intgrated graphics, as a result I can never set which video to use as the boot. I'm very confused as the documentation above is specifically for our machine, so why is it not accurate? and suggestions?
