  • Processor, RAM or SSD upgrade Pavillion dv7 bought 2009

    This is a laptop purchased in 2009, it has a dual-core pentium cpu and amd 4650 video card.

    I think the upgrade with a new ssd and perhaps new ram. I guess that's the Chipset Mobile Intel® HM65 Express, does it support a faster processor? and it is worth the money/possible to do for a noob?

    I did a few pc built, no experience with laptops. But ram and ssd would be rather forward?

    I also thought of a video card, this becomes hot and sound!

    And freakin Vista...

    Hello

    DV7 is a series of hundreds of models, what is yours? Normally the upgrade RAM, CPU & HDD to SSD is a simple task, but the video card upgrade is very hard, costly impossible (or very, very, very expensive). The upgrade will not work unless you same CPU family. The following manual shows you a list of processors supported from day 1:

  • Update graphics card on Pavillion dv7 Notebook

    Hello

    I was wondering if I can not update my graphics card on my HP Pavilion dv7.

    -removed-

    Also, if I can improve, should I use a specific map to fit the laptop?

    Let me know if you need any additional information.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Please don't not poast private information about any forum. Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

    • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
    • Need new card system (can be),
    • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
    • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
    • Cost of the work.
    • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavillion DV7 Notebook: Use unpartitioned disk space on a 700 GB DV7 Notebook

    I have an original 700 GB hard disk partitioned into 5 partitions

    1. 199 MB - system partition

    370 2 GB - data drive partition C

    Partition 3 - 313 f - not assigned

    4. 14 Gb - partition recovery

    5. 103 Mb - HP partition tools

    This disc was partiotioned factory of HP, I have often wondered why HP had left aside nearly 40 percent of the primary (370 Gb) drive as unallocated. This serves?

    So far there has not been a problem, but as the increase in requests for space, I'd use this space if possible.

    This space is set aside by HP for any special purpose, that I don't know - or can I just use it without causing problems?

    Thank you very much

    Tony...

    Hello

    There is no goal for this unused disk space, and very probably he popped a previous restoration.

    You can expand the C partition in "unallocated space" as follows.

    Once more, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type diskmgmt.msc and press ENTER.

    In the lower graphic view of the partitions, right-click on the C partition and select "Extend Volume".

    In the next window, click Next.

    In the next window, use the "select the amount of space in MB" make sure it shows the same number as the number of 'Space available Maximum in MB' which is registered just above (adjust if necessary).

    Click Next, then click Finish.

    It may take a few minutes to complete.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook dv6985se: CPU UPGRADE

    Currently, this laptop has an Intel Core Duo TM2 (T5750 @2. 00 GHz.  System Board: Quanta 30CC 79.2(e).  The chipset is Intel GM965.  It has 4g of memory.   I am lucky to have a new processor Intel Core Duo T7800 2.6 GHz, 4 MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB Socket P tray/OEM Dual Core Mobile Processor.  My question is: this T7800 would be compatible with this motherboard? And it's easy to use replace?   I have surfed the net and can't find a definitive answer on this.  If this isn't the case, could someone tell me what is the reasonable maximum CPU upgrade that would allow this motherboard, keeping in mind from my diet?  Theoretically speaking thus?  I would be grateful for all comments.  Thank you.

    You're stuck with this motherboard, or at least another of the same model series. When a laptop is designed, there is a very unique, unique motherboard also designed. Laptop motherboards are not industry standard interchangeable with anything else. If the upgrade to a more modern material means buying a different laptop, slapping not only in a better motherboard, processor, memory, as you can do it with a desktop computer.

    I agree with @Paul_Tikkanen that T7800 CPU has a decent chance to work for you.

  • Windows 8 drivers for my HP pavillion dv7 6143 cl

    I've recently updated my computer Windows 7 to windows 8.  I did a complete reset, so I lost all my other software in the process.  Now, I am looking for some drivers and return programs that were not automatically by windows 8.  Specifically, Miss me the Beats Audio, my fingerprint reader software which is integrated with this model and my dedicated graphics card AMD Radeon 6770 (I can probably find it on the AMDS website however).  However, the HPs driver windows Web page 8 is not listed as an available for my model (hp pavillion dv7 6143 cl) operating system and I was wondering if windows 7 drivers would work in this case or if I'm out of luck.

  • Satellite C850-1 kN and CPU Upgrade

    I recently got my hands on one of these laptops. It has a Pentium 960 b for the moment, but I searched for Intel i3 - 3110M or Intel i3 processor - 3130M CPU on eBay to replace the slower Pentium.

    Both are IvyBridge, identical to the original and both have a TDP of 35W, which means that they should not belt any more heat it does (or at least no more than the fan can handle, because the fans are usually designed to be mass produced and used in many different laptops (, but the same form factor)

    Someone had a bit of luck the upgrade of their CPU in Toshiba laptops? I guess I'm of the same generation of processor Intel should mean support BIOS already integrated into the planks of the BIOS...

    I can tell you that a lot of people have been able to upgrade the processor in their notebooks of Toshiba but fact is simple as this upgrade isn't officially supported by laptop manufacturers and can be done at your own risk.
    Generally the CPU upgrade depends on chipset and BIOS support.

    The laptop supports the Mobile HM70 Express Chipset Intel - compatible and supported processors are Intel ARK page in compatible products section:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-BD82HM70-PCH

    To be honest I don't think that all compatible CPUS are but it s a good start point.

    However, the BIOS must support also the new processor and maybe it's the thorny question since no one knows what are the processors supported by the BIOS because this information isn't out of nowhere.

  • Satellite L30-10 X - CPU Upgrade

    Hello

    I have rather old laptop L30-10 X Satellite and I recently got Intel CPU T5300 and I wanted to replace Original Celeron M440 for newer processor.

    I read a lot (even on this forum) that people were able to make these changes (and event to the top models such as T5500 and T5600).

    But after I replaced the Celeron (SL9KW) with T5300 (SL9WE) computer laptop won't start, it just turn on the power led for about 5 seconds and then turn off completely (not same fan turns).

    Is there anything that can be done to make this work of CPU?
    I have 3.10 BIOS after failure of the attempt to run T5300, I went back to the old Celeron (and everything works fine with celeron).

    The laptop does not start because the processor is not compatible.
    I put t know exactly what your old laptop chipset supports, but I guess the new t isn't taken CPU supported by the chipset. Therefore, you must check the compatibility of the chipset before you begin with an exchange of CPU.

    But to be honest I don t understand why you want to upgrade the CPU on this old notebook?
    First updates are not officially supported. As you can see, the laptop could not start after such update and it's something that can be also related to the compatibility of the BIOS.

    On the other hand; even if you would be able to upgrade the processor, you won't see an improvement in performance because the difference between the compatible processors is not big enough.

  • Satellite L755-14Z - CPU upgrade possible?

    Hi mate

    I agree with Akuma.
    Update CPU is very difficult. The fact is that even if the chipset would support the new processor, it is really hard to tell if the BIOS would be able to manage the new processor.

    So, in the worst cases, the BIOS will not work with a new game and wouldn't boot the laptop.

    But why you want to replace the CPU in L755? This new model of notebook with a good processor.
    Even if you want to put a new processor, you will not notice big performance push so I think CPU upgrade is not really necessary in your case.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC does not play video streaming

    Hi-

    I have a brand new HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC, Intel (r) Core i7-2630QM CPU, 8 GB, Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, Service Pack 1 64-bit. Beats audio, Radeon graphics card

    It does not play Netflix streaming - the screen is dark, even though the video seems to play, and there is no sound.

    It does not play videos YouTube - video playback but the sound is off. It goes the same for Megavideo and other streaming services.

    On the other hand, he plays the music very well on the native Windows Media Player. I have not tried video on my laptop.

    I make me quite frustrated and don't know what to do. Does anyone have an idea if this is a problem of HP, beats, or Windows 7 (or a combination of all three)?

    At this point, I am considering doing a restore of the entire system and starting from scratch. Any help is appreciated.

    Eihalcon, welcome to the forum.

    It seems that you have not installed Adobe Flash Player .  At least, I suggest to start with that as a possible solution.

    Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

    Thank you.

    I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
    Did you?

    Some facts first:
    Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
    In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

    Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
    Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
    Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

    Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

    But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.
