HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC: Can I place a mobile GPU on my laptop?

I am currently using the HD4000 Intel integrated, and I know that when I got the laptop there is an option for a Nvidia card I decided not to because I have no intention to do a lot of games on my laptop, but that's changed since. I was wondering if I could add the Nvidia card now? I can add plug if necessary.

This is called switchable graphics and which must be ordered in advance to have this feature, the video can be found on board not something that you can add later. This requires a motherboard swap to have video and this could be a costly upgrade.

    Normally, you should leave it on HP Support Assistant's hand because the driver has been tested and HP releases. You can download and install yourself, but

    Thanks for posting back.  As you know that there are several versions of HP laptops may be, most of the control functions are found in the user guide.  If you don't find it there then you would go to the deactivation of material in windows.  It is a microsoft.

    Normally, you have 2 choices to turn off physically.  First the touchpad has a little button at an angle according to the model.  Use a function key, it will have a diagram of a square and a finger.  These methods have been used for years to turn your touchpad.

    Then is just google how to disable touchpad in windows 8.  Here are some links that you may find useful that I found using this search.

    Now if you try to find a way to permanently close off the touchpad so that it does not in fact once again you will have to dig into Windows Help for this.  If Windows detects hardware at startup, it will, by default, try and load the driver of basis for it and most likely turn it on when you restart.

    The only other way is to open your laptop and unplug the cable that goes from the touchpad to the motherboard, so this does not happen.

    I hope this helps.

    Based on your response, I did a new search for the drivers of your PC, based this time on the product number that you provided, instead of the template information in your thread title and found very different results!

    Here is the link for the drivers and software page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-TouchSmart-17-j100-Notebook-PC-series/5425742/model/7415743

    The Intel driver you mentioned matches on the page - so I have no idea why you get this error message.

    Have you tried to download and install the Nvidia driver?

    Given that your PC is so recent, I suggest you contact the HP customer directly and have them put you in contact HP Technical Support.  If all goes well, they can solve the driver problem, you meet with.

    Audio: IDT High Def Audio CODEC / pilot: stwrt64.sys V.6.10.6491.0

    Question: In the past months, my sound will go off randomly automatically.  If I close the lid and let the computer in to sleep mode or if I restart the computer, the sound comes back.  When the sound disappeared, the volume buttons on the keyboard, so to work with a lag and the mute on the keyboard does not work.  Try to use the sound test, or even navigate the tabs in the Properties section of speaker to accuse also considerably by the sound does not work.

    I noticed other things: I was watching a youtube video when the sound came out, I left the chrome tab that I used for the video and the sound comes back a few seconds later.  He then disappeared a few seconds after I opened a new tab and returned to watch the video.  I had also the same thing happens with the help of a video editing software - quit the application, sound came back, returned to the software, sound went out after a few seconds.  I also had both sound back after going to the speaker properties - Advanced tab and switch format, by selecting the test button and clicking on OK when a message saying "the sound system is in use, taking the test can cause the application to fail" (or something similar).

    I tried to use various utilities for troubleshooting when the problem occurs - the find and troubleshooting audio fix is no problem AND the device is listed as working properly in Device Manager.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest drivers for the IDT HD Audio CODEC several times - no help.  In addition, the problem has been resolved not when I converted briefly to Windows (back to windows 8.1) 10.  In addition, I tried to use the other pilot of "High definition Audio Device" in place and place of the IDT CODEC, but the same problem happened - sound turns off randomly until I rebooted or put my computer to sleep.

    I'm pretty computer - savy but I can't seem to understand what the problem is.  It doesn't seem to be a hardware problem or the sound would probably not come back so quickly or clearly as it does...

    One last piece of information: I noticed that the first time that I reinstalled the Windows audio 24/06/2015 - and also several updates were installed on the 23 & 24 June - watching these updates to see if they are the cause of the problem.

    My father had a speaker bluetooth for Christmas - I tried it out on my computer because it works completely independently of my sound card and it was working fine.

    I bought one of my own for $30 at target - Jam Classic Wireless Speaker - and now I have wonderful sound.

    Does not resolve the issue of the root, but the problem is solved!

    I'm just upset that HP gave me the such a card its crappy that it only lasted 1 1/2 years before give me questions, just long enough to ensure that the warranty expires...

  • HP Envy 17 Notebook PC TS left hinge problem

    Left hinge on my HP Envy TS 17 Notebook PC pushes the lower lid of my laptop open whenever I open and close my laptop. My desire is quite recent and it is still under the one year warranty.

    Hello

    Yes.  MY problem is solved.  Company and I got the replacement unit successfully.

    Note: If you have a lot of software installed, especially of VMs on your current laptop, so my personal advice would be to get the repaired unit, I came across the problem to reactivate the license think little software, I do several facilities and refuse activation.   However after talking to the licensing issue has been resolved, but it consumes a lot of time.

    However, if the activation of the license is not a problem for you then unit replacement is better.

    Concerning

    PS. but in the new laptop also, I always get a little tic noice when I open and close the laptop from the left hinge.   That is why I it opens very slowly.  I have just pray and hope that it does not break.  because I get 2nd replacement.
