Always get your drivers from the manufacturer of your Laptop, Notebook or Desktop.

If you were to log on to the ibm.com web site, usually one is able to download if available, by model number, All available Driver downloads as required.

If the driver is not available, perhaps your manufacturer does not support the OS you are installing.

This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!

There are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer supported.

Some manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed.

I hope this helps.

go to start go to devices and printers you will see your head phone pluged in computer at bottom screen with yellow mark on it right click it then it will ask you to trouble shot it then it will ask you to fix it.

I am afraid that this is a hardware issue. There are specific graphics cards specially designed to support two monitors off one tower. Unless there is a selection in bios to active both integrated and agp at the same time, or IBM offers a BIOS update that will bring up that choice in BIOS, you can choose the AGP Nvidia card or the integrated video card. If you want to be have two monitors, you will need to obtain a video card designed for that purpose.

Examples of these mutli monitor video cards can be found here.

1. Insert the restore disk into your computer's DVD/CD drive. Prior login to your user account is not required.

2.Reboot your computer. Watch the boot screens and wait for the onscreen prompt to press any key. If you do not get a prompt, reboot your computer once more and skip to step four.

3.Press any key to boot from CD when prompted to do so. You will now be taken to the first screen in the restore process. Follow the onscreen prompts to finish restoring your machine.

4.Change your BIOS settings, if necessary, to boot from your CD drive first. Common options for entering the BIOS include pressing "ESC," "DEL" or "F12" on your computer's first boot screen. If you don't know how to get to the BIOS, check your computer's documentation for instructions. Once inside the BIOS, set the primary boot to CD-ROM and save your changes. Exit the BIOS and wait as your computer reboots and begins the restore process.

Good luck.

Ok, first of all before installing the ram, you want to make sure the ram you are installing into your computer if the motherboard support the type of ram chip you are installing it in. For your model it is ddr184 pin After this, you can take out your case panel which is the left side by unscrewing the 2 screws in the backside of the panel. Carefully take the panel apart from the computer and set it aside. What you want to located is the RAM slot on your motherboard which typically is 2 slot next to the cpu which has the big fan. Most likely one of the slot or both of the slot is already accompanied by the old memory chip. There are two hinges one on each side, bottom and top. Push these pins down and it would loosen up the memory chip that is already installed on. Replace the new memory chip and make sure you align the golden tooth pins extacly to the memory socket and then push down on the chip until it clicks. Test your computer if it works, if not. You computer may not support the memory chip.

Go to Control panel - Region and Language

without the recovery disc you cannot fix the problem
you need to have the recovery disc as we need to copy the NTLDR file from the disc

Hi !

I just not well placed and fitted. Turn off your computer and remove all the power cable connections. Remove again memory chips and return tightly fitted into the slot. Something it will not reboot our computer when it is not well fitted into the slot. It happen to me before that I cleaned the CPU unit and suddenly it would not open the computer. I disassemble all and found out that the problem it the memory chip that is not fitted correctly. Just repeat the insertion and soon it will boot up your computer.

I hope it helps you and thank you for using FixYa !

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers for spare part supplies and Driver downloads (if applicable) as required.

The information is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

you could get a Mini-ITX mainboard in there, its around 17cm x 17cm,

when you look for motherboards look for ''form factor'' in the specification and google it to try to find the size.
some sizes you will see are
atx
micro-atx (this might fit, not sure on the size)
lpx
nlx

hope it helps

if your PC works with a standard monitor, just make sure you select the correct input on your TV. No special software needed.

Remove the hard drive and RAM. See what it does. It should go into BIOS and complain. If it doesn't you have a motherboard issue as it won't POST.

press F1and keep tapping it till you hear a beep soon as the computer comes on!!! Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/charles_c2f37a3461344482

If power to your computer is interrupted while BIOS is being updated, your computer might not restart correctly. The Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper enables you to restart the system and recover the BIOS. To perform a Flash/BIOS recovery using the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper, use the following procedure: Before proceding, be sure to review the safety information.

1. Turn off the computer and any attached devices, such as printers, monitors, and external drives.
2. Unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, and remove the cover.
   
3. Locate the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper on the system board.
   
4. If necessary, remove any adapters that impede access to the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper.
5. Move the jumper from the standard position (pins 1 and 2) to pins 2 and 3.
6. Replace any adapters that were removed.
7. Replace the cover.
8. Reconnect the power cords for the computer and monitor to electrical outlets.
9. Insert the POST/BIOS update (flash) diskette into drive A, and turn on the computer and the monitor. The system will begin to beep.
10. After the update session is completed, there will be no video and the series of beeps will end. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive, and turn off the computer and monitor.
11. Unplug the power cords from electrical outlets.
12. Remove the cover.
13. If necessary, remove any adapters that impede access to the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper.
14. Return the Clear CMOS/Recovery jumper to its original position.
15. Replace any adapters that were removed.
16. Replace the cover and reconnect any cables that were disconnected.
17. Turn on the computer to restart the operating system.
18. You may now want to update the BIOS normally. Refer to the readme.txt file that came with your flash BIOS update.

Just download the latest BIOS driver from the IBM site for your BIOS and then update ( Flash ) the BIOS with latest BIOS driver.

Caution : Do not let your system turn off during the updation process.

Pls are an comment the solution if you lilke it.
