• I have a Pavilion 15 t b1000 with a intel 13chipset downgrade to windows 7

  I have a Pavillion b1000 15 t with a intel 13chipset and the need for this downgrade from Windows 8 to 7 is a set of guidelines for this computer to downgrade

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

  The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto', if this option is available.

  

  In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

  

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  From the top...

  Download f6flpy-x 64.zip, extract the files/folders and place it on a USB Flash drive.

  (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

  3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

  4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

  5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

  (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

  (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

  (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

  (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

  11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

  (12) you may need to provide Intel SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...  Insert the USB Flash drive with drivers Intel SATA\RAID previously extracted.

  (13) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

  Many 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 from the HP ENVY 15 t-j100 CTO Notebook PC drivers of Quad Edition page should work on your computer (DO NOT use any BIOS or FIRMWARE downloads). Please post (text only) Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" all missing and/or unknown devices as shown in the example below, and we can direct you to the correct drivers.

• Pavilion laptop g6 - Wifi problem after upgrade to 8.1 Windows

  KIM

  I have a Pavilion Notebook - C3M29EA #AB7 g6 and upgraded to 8.1 windows yesterday.

  Since then, I was unable to detect my own wifi connection while I am able to detect my neighbours. (Everything worked fine before the update).

  Any suggestions?

  -Same here.

  After an hour of time I will ever come back that I solved the problem.

  (1) go on the internet via the wired LAN port

  2) update drivers for Ralink wifi adapter

  Go: Right click on the wireless network connection icon: properties/Configure/tab Driverr/update driver

  (3) after a minute or two of updateing the PC reports that the driver has been updated

  (4) pull the network cable and turn on WiFi.

  What a pain in the anus,

  Anyway, as I said, corrected!

  Dansda.

• I have a Pavilion dv6 3123c Windows 7 64-bit recovery disc?

  I have a Pavilion dv6 3123c l 64-bit of Windows 7, which began to stop spontaneously. I took it and he was working on and it seemed to work a little better, but would still be closed when you try to view the video. I got a new laptop for Christmas, but I wanted to return it to the factory settings to see if that solve problems and still usable. Whenever I try to run the system recovery it stops in the middle of the procedure. I can't find online for this particular system recovery disks. There are all the other drives I could use or any other option for this return to the factory settings

  Try a HP partner. The price is expected to be on the same $30,00 USD + - $ 5. I tried the link that I provided to the partner of HP and he shows them as the set for $27.00.

• I have a pavilion p6130fpc and it will not see the drives.

  I have a pavilion p6130fpc that will not see the drives. I tried 3 different hard drives and change the cable and port twice. I have also reset the BIOS and pressed the power button for five seconds after you disconnect without success. Someone at - it any other ideas?

  Willman,

  Unfortunately you are not alone. HP has sold a lot of different models with the M2N78 - motherboard. The problem is that the manufacturer of the Board of Directors (not HP) set up a controller chip NVidia which tended to overheat. Once this chip goes, ur stuck. The SATA ports are controlled by this chip.

• I have a Pavilion Elite m9340f. I want to update my graphics card

  I have a Pavilion Elite m9340f and I was wondering if I could update my graphics card and if so what would be a good choice. Also can I upgrade my power supply?  A friend told me that I could not, because it's a computer brand, but thought I would ask someone with knowledge.  Thank you.

  Robert, here is a link to the "Product information" pages for your computer:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/prodinfoCategory?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3740326

  These pages will give you all the specifications of your computer.

  Yes, you can upgrade your video card.  First, you want to make sure that there is enough room for one of the new cards to fit.  You can find this information on the manufacturer's website.  I would say we could use until a 9800GT.  I think the cards are 9 "up to 10.5".  I like XFX, BFG or EVGA cards.  They are geared toward players and are of high quality.  My favorite is XFX.

  Now for your power supply power supply unit (PSU).  It can also be upgraded.  the key is to open the case and measure the existing unit.  To ensure that new fits, it should be very close to the same size.  Most ATX units are pretty close to the same size.  I recommend at least a 600W unit.  This is what I have in my game rig:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341001

  Again, OCZ is a company that is geared to the players and fans.  They have very reliable products.  I have one in their PSU and memory.

  One last thought, a new video card will generate more heat.  Thus, some cables will be very useful.  Simply run all cables so that they do not restrict the airflow to all components.

  I hope this helps.

• Have HP Pavilion dv2500, won, t turn on. When you connect the power supply blinks blue.

  Have HP Pavilion laptop dv2500, p/n kn997ua #aba, does not illuminate. When you connect the power supply blinks blue.

  Now you can take the laptop at best buy or Wal-Mart and get them to plug a power cord. This will give you an idea if you need to buy a power cord or not.

  Again, you can always buy the power supply cord and if it does not return.

• I run windows xp on HP Pavilion 750, in the past, I have not had a problem writing to the pictures from my computer to a disc

  I run windows xp on HP Pavilion 750, in the past, I have not had a problem writing to the photos from my computer on disc.

  It now written up so I get a message cannot keep any body can help please.

  original title: problem writing Photos...

  I'm sorry, but I don't have a solution for you.  You can check the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to see if there are warnings next to your CD burner.  If there is a caution icon, double-click the entry and see what it says under "device status".

  I don't know how you use picture & Fax Viewer to burn a CD.  The usual method, except if you have 3rd party CD burning software, is to use Windows Explorer.  This is what Windows XP Help & Support has to say on this topic:

  To copy files and folders to a CD

  1. Insert a blank, writable CD into the CD burner.
  2. Open my computer.
  3. Click the files or folders to copy to the CD. To select multiple files, hold down the CTRL key while you click the files you want. Then, under file and folder tasks, click copy this file, copy this folder, or copy the selected items.

     If the files are located in my pictures, under management of images, click copy to CD or copy all items to a CDand go to step 5.

  4. In the dialog box copy items , click the CD player record, and then click copy.
  5. In my computer, double-click the CD burner. Windows displays a temporary area where the files are held before they are copied to the CD. Verify that the files and folders you want to copy to the CD appear under files ready to be written on the CD.
  6. Under CD writing tasks, click write these files to CD. Windows displays the Assistant burn a CD. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

  Notes

  • To open my computer, click Startand then click my computer.
  • Do not copy more files to the CD that it will hold. Standard CD hold up to 650 megabytes (MB). Large capacity CD contain up to 850 MB.
  • Don't forget that you have enough disk space on your hard disk to store the temporary files that are created during the CD writing process. For a standard CD, Windows reserves up to 700 MB of available disk space. For a high-capacity CD, Windows reserves up to 1 gigabyte (GB) of the available free space.
  • After you copy files or folders to the CD, it is useful to view the CD to verify that the files are copied.

  Hello

  Make sure that you have installed another MediaSmart software first and then install HP MediaSmart SmartMenu last of all.  You can find all of the MediaSmart software available for your machine under the 'Software - multimédia' heading at the following link.

  I have a pavilion dv7 7000. I want to change my card to default chart to 630 m not intel nvidia graphics HD 4000.

  Hello

  Go in the NVIDIA Control Panel, and then select manage 3D settings.  Now, click the global settings tab, and then select it Auto drop down. Now select processor High Performance NVIDIA.

  The drawback with the above is that you will consume more energy and your system can run on battery as long. An Alternative is to select the program tab and then just add the program you want to run on the processor performance, NVIDIA.
