HP Pavilion dv6-6170us: upgrade HP Pavilion dv6-6170us

I have the hp Pavilion dv6-6170us and I was wondering if there is a way to update my graphics card, the Radeon HD 6770 M, I tried to look for more information, but I couldn't find the product on the hp site.

Hello:

Here is the link to the support page and driver for your model.

http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-DV6-entertainment-notebook-PC-series/5082212/model/5128825/

There is no removable/replaceable graphics "card" in most computers mobile consumer, including yours.

GPUS are chips that are welded and integrated on the motherboard.

Your laptop is already the best graphics solution available at the time, so you can't even replace the motherboard for one with better graphics.

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion DV6-6169se, and I'm looking to update.

    Can I know what is the available upgrade options?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Since the following specifications:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02866520

    My suggestions (using this order):

    1. RAM: you can go to 8 GB, this will improve a bit.  Please use the following site to scan your machine. It will tell you exactly what you need and where to buy, or you can also use the information to buy elsewhere:

    http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/systemscanner

    2 replace the HDD with a SSD: you can see many improvements during startup, downtime, open applications and save files. If you run applications that require a lot of Scriptures, SDD is much faster than the HARD disk.

    3 CPU: upgrade CPU on laptops is a delicate issue. Please check the list before I go buy. The first manual on the following list a unelistede CPU is supported:

    Recently, I tried upgrading my laptop RAM 8 GB which is max you may have to wait. The RAM sticks were (x 2) DDR3 4 GB Samsung 1600 12800 mhz 1.35v.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-3310ej: Upgrade CPU

    Hi HP.

    I want to improve my processor.

    Current specification: Laptop model: HP Pavilion dv6-3310ej CPU: type of processor - Intel Core i5 CPU M 480 @ 2.67GHz BIOS version: F.29 OS: Windows 7 professional 64 bit manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard

    With the processor on which I can replace my current processor?

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    There are several faster processors (i7) listed, but you can't use them because of the motherboard. There is a different motherboard for dual processors and quad core and you already have the fastest dual core that is compatible, so you're at the top of the curve without upgrade potential.

  • Pavilion dv6-4024tx: display random crashing after upgrade to Windows 10 (back to Windows 7)

    Hey all,.

    I used to own a computer laptop dv6-4024tx Pavilion which I gave to my father to use after you have bought a new laptop for my part. It was in pretty good condition when I gave it to him, with the only problem being that she would get very hot unless a cooling pad was used (which I it comes with). At the time, it was running Windows 7 Home Premium with no problems and everything was fine. However, it might be interesting to note that while I had it I had problems with random blue screens while I was with the latest graphics drivers, so I drove back to the drivers supplied on the support page for this laptop. After I "upgraded" to Windows 10 (do not perform a clean install) for my dad, the laptop would randomly crash and display something like the photo that I have attached, before going empty and show again several times. Believing that it would be a problem with the GPU, I went and Display Driver Uninstaller to remove completely all AMD drivers and software, downloaded the latest driver on the AMD website and installed. It seemed to temporarily solve the problem, but as it's always within 30 days of installation, I offered to go back to Windows 7, but my father wanted to leave it and see how it happened. Oddly enough, for the next month, it never reported the laptop crashing again and the time period for return finally expired. The problem of course back then I tried the same solution from before but the noise continued. I tried to disable the GPU completely from the Device Manager, so that the laptop was running with Microsoft Basic display adapter. He seems to have stopped the fracas, but less than a week my father told me that he had crashed again.  I tried to restore the laptop to a system image I had done years ago, but I learned that you cannot restore an image to a different version of Windows System. Finally, as a last resort I backed everything up and made a real clean install of Windows 10, and the problem has not yet disappear.

    My goal now is to return the Windows 7 laptop somehow. I can mount a virtual image of the system hard drive and access all the recovery files provided by HP, specifically the Recovery Manager. From there, I can do a recovery USB or DVD (s) we hope to restore the laptop to all conditions of factory (so theoretically return to Windows 7). I will try this, but I need a flash player more than 20 GB or several blank DVDs I don't currently. In addition, Recovery Manager says that this medium can never be created once, so it save me time and money (not to mention my last lifeline) if someone could please share their views on the question of whether this method would be successful or not. I know in case it doesn't work, there is always the question of registration of the OS by Microsoft, but I can cross that bridge when I get to it.

    Sorry for the essay I just wrote, but this has been a problem for too long, and I am at a loss to know what to do now (apart from the purchase of another computer). If there are any questions I'll be happy to answer, and I hope we can get this issue is resolved. See you soon.

    If you follow this step 3.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/675-system-image-recovery.html

    You will need to select "format and repartition disks" as windows 10 will have changed partitions.

    Hello

    Your laptop's card with Intel Dual core with UMA graphics card and the USB 3.0 version.

    The high processor upgrade possible, without changing the Board of Directors is 2640M i7 dual core (HP 666173-001 part number). Not much of a performance gain.

    If you want to upgrade to QuadCore i7 (i7 quad core 2860QM), you have to replace the Board of Directors. It'll be better buying a new laptop with the better than going to this costly upgrade card.

  • Pavilion dv6: 10 for Windows upgrade fails Pavilion dv6 after update and entry of password

    After updating my Pavilion dv6 Windows 7 64 - bit of Windows 10 64 - bits, the connection to the computer to update resulted in a machine stuck with white (gray) screen. The upgrade seems complete without any problems. It is only after a reboot with the machine being upgraded and after entering the password that the lock status was encountered.

    You can see if any of the suggestions in the linked thread works - but DV6 succeed well in Win10, and if none of these work, you need to consider restoring to Win7: HP Notebook PC - computer starts but the screen remains empty (10, 8 Windows) | HP® customer support

    I have a DV6 and after many hardships, restored to Win7 because I felt that an older OS where everything worked was much higher than a more recent OS where many things were "broken."

    And there is no driver HP Win10 for the DV6.

  • Pavilion DV6-3030SD: Pavilion DV6-3030SD processor and HD upgrade

    Hello, I would like to know if I can pass for example the processor of my Pavilion DV6-3030SD with intel i3 M350 2, 27GHz and 2 hearts with every 4 GB of RAM (8GB total). Win10 64-bit is installed and works perfectly.

    I don't understand that a change in video (AMD Radeon HD5400) card is not possible. And change the motherboard isn't an option too.

    People advised me to change the HD 500 GB SSD to make it faster. Most SSDS are much smaller then my HD. Is it a problem that the quantity of SSD does not have HD? And is there something to check when you change the SSD (specific to my Pavilion)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Replace the CPU by the one who has the exact specifications of the Core i7 in the manual is very well. You'll get a noticeable performance gain with the Core i7 CPU. Hyperthreading with hearts more is a good thing.

    Upgrading to an SSD will also turn your laptop into a beast.
