Compaq Presario CQ40 Drivers for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)

Compaq Presario CQ40 series AMD and Intel

Compaq Presario CQ40 initially released in the time of Windows Vista, at that time many users downgrade to Windows XP and it was not an easy process. You will need SATA driver and a Slipstreamed DVD to install windows XP.

After that Windows 7 announced and HP released drivers for Windows 7 for certain CQ40 series and variant. You will find certain model such as CQ40-429TU which only have Windows Vista drivers on HP support site.

Actually you can use Windows 7 drivers from any CQ40 series because I can assure you that given CQ40-100, CQ40-200, CQ40-300, CQ40-400, CQ40-500, CQ40-600 and CQ40-700 all of them uses the same driver sets.

The only thing that matter is there are actually 2 type of CQ40 series which is:

Compaq Presario CQ40 with Intel processor.
Compaq Presario CQ40 with AMD processor.


Compaq presario CQ40 series Drivers Installation Guide

Compaq identify model by assign suffix at the end of the model wild card number such as CQ40-401AU. AU means AMD model. Here are some suffix that commonly use:

AX/AU/LA = AMD model
TU/TX/XX/BR = Intel Model

The drivers listed below is for both AMD and INTEL. Note that the difference is:
AMD MODEL: Install all drivers except Intel Chipset, Intel and Nvidia graphic.
INTEL MODEL: Install all drivers except AMD Graphic and AMD AHCI RAID.

Compaq Evo n610c Windows XP/7 Drivers

Obtaining Windows XP drivers is easy since it is available on the HP download site. So, I decided to remake the driver list for Windows XP by removing unwanted application and I added the instruction on how to upgrade it into Windows 7.

Windows 7 Drivers and Upgrade
Basically this model does support Windows 7 with Intel Pentium 4 Processor and 1GB maximum RAM. By default this model only shipped with 256MB or 512MB of RAM, so you need to upgrade the RAM first before upgrade, if not you n610c won't be able to run Windows 7.

Now let's move to Windows 7 drivers, what drivers does it need? Normally Windows 7 will try to install the drivers for your hardware base on previous information provided by Windows XP (upgrade form xp to 7). However, if you make a clean windows 7 installation (reformat the drive before windows 7 installation) windows 7 will be unable to get enough information on your specific hardware. So, here is the simple rule to obtain all the driver you need for Windows 7:

1. If your audio, wireless and any other hardware works, it means the driver for those hardware already installed so you doesn't have to install the driver for it. Example, your heard sound when playing music, no need to install the audio driver.

2. Run Windows Automatic update and download and install any updates for your device driver.

3. If there are any driver missing (how to check- read here) - or you need it, just download form the list below:

Chipset
Intel 845 chipset driver
Intel always provide Intel Chipset device Software (INF Update Utility) on thier website, just download and install it, it will detect and install your chipset driver: Download Link

Audio
ADI Soundmax Audio Driver
Since ADI use the AC97 audio architechture, which is similar with Realtek AC97 audio, so we just need to download the realtek AC97 from the realtek Website : Download form Realtek
We can also use windows XP driver for windows 7, we just need to tweak the installation file. You can read the tutorial here: Installing Audio in Windows 7

Graphic
Ati Mobility Radeon 7500
Read Installation Instruction here : http://laptop-driver.blogspot.com/2014/12/ati-mobility-radeon-7500-drivers-for.html

Wireless
We will install the wireless driver using the same method to install the graphic.
Download the windows xp driver.

1. Install the driver , ignore the error (we just want to extract the driver file to C:\swsetup\sp29156)
2. Open device manager, look for network marked with yellow, right click and select update driver.
3. Select browse my computer for driver software.
4. Select browse and point to C:\swsetup\sp29156\Driver\w2kxp
5. Continue with on screen instruction until installation finish.

LAN/Ethernet:
Mobile Intel PRO/100 NIC Drivers
Automatically Installed in Windows 7.

That's all the driver you need for windows 7, if you still wnat to use the modem, install the modem windows xp driver using the same method to install wireless driver.

Main Hardware Specification:

Chipset  : Intel 845 Chipset (82845(MCH) : brookdale
Processor : Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor -M (1.6-2.4GHz) 512KB cache
RAM : PC2 1200 DDR SDRAM, Maximum - 1GB (512MBx2)

Compaq Presario V2623TS Windows 7/XP Drivers

Compaq Presario V2623TS originally released during Windows XP Era and comes with Free DOS No further support for Windows Vista or Windows 7 by Hewlett Packard. This model best with a 32-bit operating system since it only support only up to 2GB DDR2 SDRAM 333MHz. By default, only 256Mb RAM installed wit 60GB DMA ATA HDD. So f you plan to upgrade into Windows 7 here are the drivers you will need.

Recommended Operating System :
Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 32-bit. Don't Install 64-bit operating system because 64-bit require 4GB of RAM, If you did installed 64-bit it will decrease your V2623TS performance.

HP Compaq nx9030 Windows 7/XP Drivers

HP only released windows xp drivers for this model. If you plan to upgrade into Windows 7, you will see certain drivers not installed since most hardware (from Intel) no longer support Windows 7. So here  I posted the drivers you will need for Windows 7. For windows xp, there are some drivers not listed on HP download site, normally if a driver not listed mean it is automatic or not required, but I doubt that so I added drivers for graphic and chipset (the driver for graphic and chipset for Windows xp is available on HP database but it just not listed for nx9030.) If you want to see the driver released from HP, just go to the Hp support and select - support - drivers - Laptops - HP compaq Notebook PC - HP 9000 and you will see nx9030 is on the list.  The original drivers released is similar from what I listed here, only the graphic and chipset is missing form the download list.

Some Notes:
1. Base on my experience with notebook audio drivers, If it using Conexant audio, it rewuire MS-UAA to be installed first. If your windows XP audio installation failed you may need to install MS-UAA first, you can download it here.
2. Graphic driver for windows 7 Requires several steps to install, but you can try manual installation (the same method to install audio) using your original windows XP drivers.
3. If you don't use your Fax modem, you can skip the modem installation.

Compaq Presario V3000 Windows 8 Drivers and Upgrade

Compaq Presario V3000 originally released with Windows Vista and can be upgraded to Windows 7 without problems. If you plan to upgrade to windows 8, here I will describe in details about the hardware, drivers and certain issues after upgrading to Windows 8.

Content:
1. Installing Windows 8 and System Requirements.
2. Overheating Problems.
3. Drivers

Installing Windows 8 and System Requirements.
1. You can choose either to make a fresh installation or if you already have windows 7 installed, you can use Windows 8 upgrade.
2. System Requirements: Windows 8 require at least 1GB of RAM, and base on users experience Compaq Presario V3000 meet the minimum requirement for Windows 8.

Overheating Problem
The heat problem was common among V3000 series, the temperature increase base on the following operating system:
Windows XP < Windows 7 < Windows 8 < Windows Vista

Solution: (You can choose one of this method)
1. Clean your on board fan (you can choose to do it yourself or send it to shop which normally cost you about ~$5, at my place it cost about MYR15 ~ $3).
2. Get an external USB Fan, place it near to the top left side of your keyboard. (This trick work most of the time). This method also prevent auto shut down during Windows Installation.
3. Get a new motherboard (cost around $80-$130)

Drivers.

Do I need to Install all Drivers for Windows 8?
NO! base on my experience installing windows 8 in this model, all drivers automatically installed.
