Computer HP pavilion dv7 laptop has no option graphycs switchable

I recently Bough of an hp pavilion dv7 7004sl. It has an integrated nvidia gforce GT 630 m video card, but it seems that I can't use it.

Even if I try Nvidia web page looking for device he always says that I don't have any Nvidia product in my computer. I searched the web for hours now, and everything that I could find was some subjects saying I need a BIOS update that will add the switchable graphics option. Unfortunately for my dv7 7004sl there is no such update BIOS. If one had the same problem and it is resolved, otherwise, please help.

You can check that you have switchable graphics capabilities by calling the Device Manager. If you see an Intel processor and an NVIDIA graphics card, then you just need to install the drivers and switchable graphics capabilities. A big difference between the Intel more switchable graphics, AMD and Intel + NVIDIA switchable graphics card is the order of driver installation. A laptop with the discreet NVIDIA module has a separate driver and it must be installed after the Intel graphics driver is installed.

Install the Intel graphics driver softpaq first, then the NVIDIA graphics softpaq.

Once you've done that, go into the control panel and find the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Now, you will know that the GT 630 m is active.

    DV6-6c51er is the common model number.

    Here is the Manual:

    It can handle up to 16 GB memory DDR3-1333 (2 x 8 GB modules).

    No way to add a touchscreen. I don't know how you changed Intel Radeon graphics card, unless you have installed a different motherboard. The original motherboard has two graphics chips, so if you install the right driver you can access the AMD Radeon HD M 7470.

    The processor could theoretically be upgraded to an i7, but these improvements are rarely economically justified because of the high cost of processors unique and time required for doing the upgrade. Somehow, I think less than 10% of the improvements that we are discussing on this Forum actually. You simpler and better (more efficient) upgrade is to install an SSD. You will think that you have an i7 and 16 GB of RAM.

  • Catastrophic customer service, Pavilion dv7 laptop STILL not repaired, shuts down randomly

    I've had a Pavilion dv7-6c95dx for over 6 months now and 1 week after I bought it, the laptop began to stop randomly. Firstly that it happened sometimes, usually once a week. When this problem occurred, I had to open the Task Manager, as well as SpeedFan and Manager tasks showed that everything worked well minus 50% of their capacity and SpeedFan has indicated that all systems (HARD drive, processor, motherboard) were running at 50 degrees Celsius (when I talked with a representative from HP on the phone, they told me that their products are supposed to operate at the maximum temperature is 90 degrees Celsius). I assumed it was a small issue, and, after a few months, to see if Windows 7 because of the problem, I installed Ubuntu (Linux). The same problem. I then reinstalled Windows 7, Ubuntu and even threw in a copy of Windows 8 for good measure and the same problem kept happening, but now it would be up to 4 TIMES a DAY. It would be closed (meaning that just go to a black screen, with the familiar sound of hard-stop which makes the fan) usually when I'm either: play a video game, who does not use a lot of RAM or CPU at all and is not graphic, or watch a YouTube video, usually HD and full screen. I'd hear the fan starts pumping a little (I knew it could get loud if necessary, but it's never told fort) and usually after a minute or two, he would have hard stop and then restart itself. So after 3 months of daily irritations, I decided to take my laptop to Geek Squad in the best buy, the store where I bought the unit. Geek Squad was no help: I sent the unit in 4 TIMES and first they said that the problem was "A defective HDD," they replaced, without success, and the other 3 times, they could not reproduce the problem, so that was the MONTH wholly wasted and worn out waiting for my computer back. I then asked to call HP, in the store, because when I called HP, I was not able to get a straight answer and HP, after AN HOUR of talking on the phone in the store, with a Geek Squad Manager, has reluctantly agreed to send me a box to pack up my computer and send it to HP service center. I received a call from HP after the computer and surprise, surprise, they could not reproduce the problem either! I asked about a policy of lemon no., and they said they didn't know what to do to that, of course, continue to send the laptop. When I got my laptop, I also got an email from HP asking me to rate my experience, and after I gave them the low ratings consistenly, so only I was able to speak to a case under the name of Kevin E Manager. He told me that I have to send the laptop in for "more extensive testing" (I'm not sure what this means, should not run them not testing the most extensive possible THE FIRST TIME AROUND)?) and when I asked about the policy of lemon no., he said after I send it, they will look at "other options." This time, the heat sink has been replaced, because for some reason, the laptop was running at 90 degrees Celsius, (which never happened in all my time to possess, to the best of my knowledge) but, of course, they were unable to reproduce the original problem. When I got my laptop, there was still the problem. When I called HP back, Kevin told me that at this point, they may send a representative to my home. 15 minutes before the arrival of the local representative, the closed laptop. I was relieved, because I thought it meant that I could reproduce the problem and show him. However, after waiting for an hour, with more applications running that generally required to shut down the computer, he WORKS PERFECTLY. As a matter of fact, the representative took the home unit for 3 days, and it worked perfectly. When she returned, of course, could do nothing about it. This device has been repaired 7 times now, and it is a shame. Kevin called me today ' today - in fact, it was after 1 week of waiting for a response from "24 to 48 hours." Moreover, off the 8 times that Kevin has promised to follow with me, it was only once I received a call during the response time promised 24-48 hours-another 7 times, it's me calling to him.

    Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed by the products and the HP customer service and would certainly not bought this device from them if I had known that I have would have been treated this way.

    The laptop is running Windows 7, 64 bit.  It has four USB connections I normally use to connect to my portable printer Officejet 6310v.

    The printer normally uses the parallel cable Pinter that connects to the connector on the printer cable on the back of my desktop computer.  The printer has RJ45 data cable connector.  It also has a female 8 pin connector labled FIR.  I don't know if this printer has wireless capability.

    I was unable to find guaranteed compatible expansion modules appear to be available to Kingston or Corsair.

    Guaranteed compatible using modules in a major memory manufacturer upgrade is the way to go if you want no surprises when you plug new modules. Do not add the new memory module that is already there. Remove the original memory unless you can locate a module that is identical in every respect to be placed in the empty soDIMM slot. You don't have to try to match the specifications of the module of the computer laptop memory published unless you like surprises.

    Hi @anupom,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    If I understand your messages that you encounter a problem with your HP Pavilion Notebook of 15 and problems related to lack of CD recovery.  Here is something that might help.

    Are there problems with your yellow exclamation Device Manager showing in it?

    Did you change hardware on the laptop?

    Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    Please get back to me how that happens.
