Why is my HP Desktop performance so poor?
- D
  Daniel RodriguezAug 17, 2025
  Poor performance on your HP Desktop can stem from several factors. The processor might be overheating due to blocked airflow, so ensure that the computer's air vents are unobstructed. A full hard drive can also cause this, so try transferring data to free up space. Other potential causes include low memory (consider adding more), a fragmented hard drive (defragment it), too many applications running (close unnecessary ones), or even a virus (run a virus scan). Restarting the computer can also help if a program didn't release reserved memory.

  If your HP Desktop appears locked up and the power button doesn't work, software control of the power switch may not be functional. Press and hold the power button for at least four seconds until the computer turns off. If that doesn't work, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

  If your HP Desktop system doesn't power on and the front LEDs aren't flashing, try pressing and holding the power button for less than 4 seconds. Ensure the unit is plugged into a working AC outlet. Also, verify that the power button harness and both power supply cables are properly connected to the system board. If the 5V_aux light on the system board is on, replace the power button harness. If it's off, replace the power supply.

  Lee CastroAug 26, 2025
  If there's no sound or the sound volume is too low on your HP Desktop, the system volume may be set low or muted. Check the F10 BIOS settings to make sure the internal system speaker is not muted. Also, make sure the external speakers are properly connected and powered on, and that the speakers' volume control is set correctly. Use the system volume control available in the operating system to make sure the speakers are not muted or to increase the volume.

Why does my HP Desktop power supply shut down intermittently?
- L
  Lisa TylerAug 30, 2025
  If your HP Desktop power supply shuts down intermittently, the voltage selector switch on the rear of the computer chassis (on some models) might not be switched to the correct line voltage (115V or 230V). Select the proper AC voltage using the selector switch.

How to fix incorrect date and time on my HP Compaq Pro 6305?

  If the date and time display on your HP Desktop is incorrect, the RTC (real-time clock) battery may need to be replaced. Connecting the computer to a live AC outlet prolongs the life of the RTC battery.

What to do if my HP Compaq Pro 6305 drive is not found?
- E
  Emily CarterSep 9, 2025
  If a drive is not found on your HP Desktop, check cable connections to ensure they are secure. If this is a newly installed drive, run the Computer Setup utility and try adding a POST delay under Advanced > Power-On. Also, if the device is attached to a SATA port that has been hidden in Computer Setup, run the Computer Setup utility and ensure Device Available is selected for the device's SATA port in Security > Device Security. If the drive responds slowly immediately after power-up, run Computer Setup and increase the POST Delay in Advanced > Power-On Options.
