• Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: I can pass on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (memory, processor, graphics)

  My dv6 became very slow. I am running Windows 10 and now it takes 15-20 minutes to wake him up from his sleep and connect. Ive done a lot of cleanup and optimization, but nothing got better on that. It get very hot very quickly and the fan always seems to be at the top. I'm looking to try to upgrade the memory and perhaps the (quad-core) processor at least if possible, to see if the performance is going to do better. I can hardly do anything on this issue now because it takes too long! I have a 1 TB of HDD installed there a few years and who works well, but everyday navigation, products microsoft office and editing photo/video light from time to time are almost impossible! What memory and processors are compatible with my device that I could look in the upgrade? Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm new to upgrades of memory and others so I had a bit of a problem of the research/understand exactly what I would like to search! I will post the form below!

  Thank you!

  You have a model dv6-3155dx. Here are your specs:

  http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02548013

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See p. 23. Your laptop has the CPU i3 - 370 M and UMA (Intel HD) video so, unfortunately, the processor is not extensible because it is soldered to the motherboard. Put video updated would also require the replacement of the motherboard. CPU upgrades are very difficult and rarely justify financially, in any case, but in your case is not possible at all unless you replace the motherboard, which is even more expensive and less be justified financially. The cost of high end motherboard and CPU and work, you might as well buy a new laptop.

  But all is not lost. The best upgrade, you can do is to install an SSD. You can also switch to 8 GB of RAM. An upgrade will be useful, together, they would be a game-changer.

  You would need 2 x 4 GB modules specified thus:

  Memory module (DDR3 PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz) - 4096 MB 599092-001

  https://www.Amazon.com/HP-VH641AT-4-GB-DDR3-PC3-10600/DP/B0030L3B8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1472066313 & SR = 8-1 & Keywords = 599092-001

  This model is very, very picky about the memory and it must have 8 black blocks on the side, not 4. Also very intolerant of memory not specified in general. Remember that I bound will work. 'How to' on the manual p.60.

  SSDS are a little harder to choose (as many options) and what I need to know is your budget. I recommend at least a concert 500 class SSD and which will cost $120-160. Since you have 10 Windows, it would be easy to download the Microsoft recovery media directly and simply reinstall, then find the drivers and applications and migrate the data. The installation will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the internet. You can also clone the existing content of the new SSD hard drive, but I do not recommend with a facility that is malfunctioning.

  We also probably discuss blowing dust and verification of thermal management in general. A laptop that suddenly becomes very slow, as you describe may have a hard drive problem, too. You need to run diagnostics on the hard drive and also just to check to see if it is full. Drops of performance as a rock if the hard disk reaches 90 percent and more capacity.

• Asio low latency generic Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC XS078EA driver

  Hello! I have a Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC.  Product XS078EA number. I restored the system to its original state with restore disks. After restoring the system, my audio device doesn't have the "generic low latency asio driver" option more. I used this driver with many production music applications like FL studio and Ableton Live, with optimal performance. Now, I can only use Direct Sound drivers, very poor indeed. I already downloaded and installed the latest version of IDT High Definition Audio drivers from the site, with no result. Please, how can get this 'pilot audio generic low latency' for my audio chipset again?

  Thanks a lot for your help

  Problem solved installung Nuendo 4, actually the first audio program I installed when I bought the PC. Generic low latency asio driver has been installed by Nuendo. In my view, remains the best driver asio for integrated audio devices.

  Thank you very much for the help!

  Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?

  Acutally, I found the solution! I just had to move some default devices under sound options.

• AMD Mobility Radeon driver for HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

  Product name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

  Product number: QJ920AV #ABA

  Windows 7 64 bit

  I'll try to find the latest official (non-beta) driver for my amd computer graphics card, but it is difficult to find because AMD archive not their drivers to facilitate downloading and their latest drivers are incompatiable with mine.

  In addition, the laptop manufacturer, despite saying that I should download drivers of them, does not update their drivers at all, so I have to go to the AMD website to download the latest drivers from there, which I can't do anyway...

  So, can anyone link me to the latest driver for mobility non-beta amd for an AMD Mobility Radeon series 6700 map m is compatible with switchable graphics?

  Note: The official amd driver check tool does not thereby. Whenever I try to use it, it tells me to use my manufacturer provided to pilots, but those are outdated, so the circle continues.

  Provided official HP Windows 7 drivers for your computer can be found on the page of CTO Edition Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv6t Quad - b 6, 00. The official drivers only function correctly with graphics switchable HP are those provided by HP. try to use the downloaded drivers directly from Intel or AMD will not work because they do not support changes made by HP.

  An option that is very popular with people who want more drivers, is the third-party provider http://leshcatlabs.net/.  -I recommend read you and well understand why driver signature enforcement must be disabled to load these drivers and what risks it may pose. You may also consider reading this HP Forum thread titled How can I use the latest drivers for my ATI/AMD card?

How to solve this? Thank you.

  Hey iilykerice,

  Thanks for the reply buddy.

  The power strip can have a negative effect as plug other thing on the wall. (Printers, laptops, or everything that is electronic).
