Enabling virtualization

$

I am trying to use a software called openFOAM in windows, in order to do so I have tu use a virtual box and the docker software. But also I have to enable the virtualization (vt-x) through system bios.

 

I have reboot the laptop and go to the bios, in the security part I have found the option to enable the bios, the only problem is that I can modified the option, using Speccy from periform group, I have found that the system supports virtualization but it is disable, which agrees with what I have found in the BIOS.

 

So, I wonder what can I do, I have the option, but the BIOS does not allow me to check it. 

 

Thank you for your help

I would prefer to have the F keys as the default and have to use 'Fn' for the special functions rather than the other way round as is the default with the laptop I have.

Would anyone know if it is possible to alter them?

HP Pavilion 17-f010na - Not Charging & Standbye Problems

$

I have two problems with my HP Pavilion 17-f010na laptop. I recently installed the Windows 10 upgrade (previously 8.1).

 

The problems:

 

  1. The laptop is not charging the battery. Battery status is displaying "0% available plugged in charging", if the mains charger is turned off the laptop immediately shuts down.
  2. When the laptop goes into standby mode (after specified power saver time), the screen goes black (which is normal) but the laptop will not come out of standby mode, screen remains black, the power light remains on.

I don't know if these two problems are related or if the Windows 10 upgrade has caused these problems? The laptop is just over a year old and has had very little use, perhaps just a few hours only.

Zbook 15G3 and dock compatibility question P5Q58UT#ABA

Say, if I browse the website, the dock compatibility sheet tells me that Zbook 15G3 is to use dock P5Q58AA, but it is a bit expensive. 

 

Surfing the net, I found P5Q58UT#ABA that seems very, very similar in specs and model number and at half the price...is it compatible with 15G3?

 

Thanks,

i've had a HP G42 398Tx for about five years, without any problem instead of it's DVD drive which failed after 6 months after purchase. But about 4 month ago it's HDD failed, after five years of reliable duty. It was "WD Scorpio Blu 500 GB". Then I purchased "SEAGATE Laptop Thin SSHD 500GB Hard Drive". after WIN 7 installation, it started to appear blue screen and restarted, and then showed "no boot device". when I shuted down the notebook, and turned it up after about 1 hour, then it started up normally and booted the OS. That happened several times so I thought the drive was defective, so I replaced it with, "WESTERN DIGITAL WD10JPVX-22JC3T0" and then everything went well for about 1 weeks. But yesterday it showed blue screen and restarted and showed "no boot device", just like before. Then I shuted down the note book and restarted it after 1 hour and every thing was ok. Now it's worked well for about 24 hours with no problem. Now my question is: what is the problem, and what is failing?

Any response would be appreciated

What are the SATA versions of various drives?

I'm looking at different SSD options, including getting a CD caddy and swapping out my rarely used optical drive and putting a drive in there. Is the optical drive interface SATA II or SATA III? What about the main drive?
My thinking is, if only the main drive is SATA III, then I'll put my original HDD in a CD caddy and stick my SSD in the main drive bay. In order to take advantage of the SATA III speeds.

That's not such an optimal solution though, as the SSD runs cooler and wouldn't cause any ventilation issues in the optical drive bay/caddy, whereas the HHD might be an issue.
If their both SATA II, then maybe I'll skip the whole
Idea and try an mSATA solution.
