HP Pavilion dv7-4150er upgrade complete. Issue of processor and HARD drive

Hello. Sorry for my English. I'm from the Ukraine.

I want to improve my HP Pavilion dv7-4150er and I need advice from experienced people.

Now, I have:

-8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB),

-1 TB of HDD (5400 RPM)

-stock video (Mobility Radeon hd 5650 graphics card) card overclocked to 700 MHz GPU and 950 MHz Vram.

-CPU (mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-720QM, 1716 MHz) in stock

-BIOS F.29

2 problems:

-Slow CPU

-Slow HARD drive

I want to buy a few HARD drives SSD for Windows and secondary soft and left for the data.

Get an increase in the performance of the system?

On the 'Intel' site, I read that my

Intel® HM55 Express Chipset Mobile

is compatible with the more powerful processors. LINK

And I have a great opportunity to buy Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13 GHz)

But the laptop manual says:

720QM and 940xm - identical processors. The difference in 'MAX TDP' 45w/55w, 'Cache' 6 mb / 8 mb and clock speed 1.6 GHz/2.13 GHz

The Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13) will work properly in my laptop?

or not?

I have read many articles on this topic, but the answer is not...

And I can't find information on HP F.29 BIOS specification.

How can I increase a CPU nested way (with another compatible processor) perfomance if 940xm is not compatible?

Help me please.

Thank you for your time.

Hello nickiblackmore.  I understand that you are curious about the upgrade of your laptop.

Here is a link to Guide of Service and Maintenance of your laptop.  It covers the disassembly of the laptop and can also show you how to replace parts if you upgrade the.

If you switch to a Solid State Drive of a standard 5400 or 7200 RPM hard drive, you should see a significant performance increase.  This is because a normal hard drive spinning platters and it takes time to locate data on the trays as they are moving.  A Solid State Drive has no moving parts and therefor can locate data much more quickly.

A CPU upgrade is a much more difficult question.  HP does not recommend that you perform this type of upgrade.  Laptops are generally designed with specific thermal and electrical needs.  If you change the CPU, it will probably create more heat and use a higher power that will cause you problems.  However, if you stick to a processor that is listed in the service (for example in your picture) Guide, you should be fine.  For example, you can choose one of the microprocessors found in the image to upgrade your laptop.  Also, keep in mind that the integral part upgrade as a CPU can affect your warranty (check your warranty here).

If you think that answers your question be sure to mark the post as solved.  This makes it easier for others to find answers to their questions.

Have a great day!

  • SL 410 Upgrade ram and hard drive

    Hi all

    I have been using the 410-2842-rk1 model Lenovo thinkpad SL for a year and a half.

    No problems until now

    I want to upgrade the RAM and hard drive of this machine.

    At the time of purchase, I had seen that I could improve up to 1 TB of hard drive.

    Please guide me if I can or not.

    About the RAm too, I need assistance (maximum limit I can update)

    Thanks in advance...

    You can switch to a 1 TB HDD providing it will fit physically. They are more hard are 9.5 mm thick but some hard drives of 1 TB are 12.5 mm thick. If you get a 9.5 mm HARD drive then it will work. Readers of 12.5 mm is too thick to fit.

    Regarding the RAM, you can install up to 8 GB of RAM, which is 2 x 4 GB.

  • Envy 15 t: upgrade memory and hard drive HP ENVY 15t

    Hi guys, I just bought the HP Envy 15 not touch t (ae100) with the following characteristics:

    -CPU & graphics: 6th generation Intel Core i7-6700HQ Quad Core processor + Intel HD Graphics 530

    -Memory: 8 GB DDR3L - 1 DIMM

    -Hard drive: 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive

    I have a few questions about it. First of all, my laptop doesn't have a vacant unit of m2 where I can insert an SSD and if not a SATA 3 2.5-inch SSD fits instead of the hard disk without additional fixing or need support.

    Second, is there an empty memory slot to insert a 8 GB of additional ram.

    Any kind of assistance will be extremely useful and thanks in advance.

    No crack m2. From the Manual:

    Only dedicated support of storage SATA m2 (Port 0) (models with i7 processors and 4 GB memory graphics)

    So if you have Intel HD video only you do not have a slot m2.

    Here's the manual for your use:

    Repair manuals

    Yes on the memory 8 GB 2d module:

    Both not accessible/upgradable module DDR3L-1600 slots double channel memory support 16 GB of RAM in the following conƭgurations ● 16384-Mo (8192 MB × 2)

    Access to the memory and hard drive are obtained by removing the lower cover. Technically this is not allowed to the end user if security is jeopardized.

    A standard 2.5 inch SATA SSD to integrate perfectly in the original hardware for hard disk 5400 RPM. It is a highly recommended update. The 16 GB of RAM not so much, but it's one of those things "might as well" If you are determined to go there.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

  • Pavilion dv7 3162nr: upgrade of updates to driver for laptop after Windows 10

    Hello

    I'm looking the latest driver updates for my particular model, and is not on your website.  I have upgraded to Windows 10 and keep the problems with my computer not to wake from standby or hibernation. The only way for me to 'fix' it is to stop completely from the computer, open the applications and all.

    I also wonder if I need a BIOS update.

    I have a Pavilion dv7 3162nr

    Serial No. [personal information]

    Product #WA801UA #ABA

    BIOS date version: F03, 22/08/2009

    Processor: AMD Turion (tm) II Ultra Dual - Core Mobile M600, 2400 Mhz 2 core 2 logical processors.

    Here's all the info I have my specific model.

    Can someone help, please?

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    There is also no update the BIOS of your PC.

    This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!  To restore all the features, you will need to do a reset to factory using HP recovery media to its original operating system pre-installed.

    However, if you are determined to stay with Win10, pilot alternatives, you can continue below are...

    You can try to use Windows updates to find the drivers from Microsoft deposits for your device: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

    You can also try following the instructions in this thread: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04763435/

    If Windows Update doesn't give new drivers, you can pursue alternative which are described in the linked Microsoft Windows Insider community thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/wiki/insider_wintp-insider_devices/how-to-install-and-update-drivers-in-windows-10/a97bbbd1-9973-4d66-9a5b-291300006293

    If you then run into trouble, install the drivers through Windows Update, you can try to use of Microsoft Windows Update Troubleshooter: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/open-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

    Good luck

  • Pavilion dv7-4180: upgrade Windows 7 to 8

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-4180 using Windows 7.  I bought a Windows 8 of Microsoft and the Bill says:

    "Earn 8 32-bit/64-bit English VUP DVD."

    Online Microsoft provides this statement (quoted):

    «Download and install Windows 8.1 to Windows 7»
    1. sign in to your Microsoft account
    2. in the menu of left, click downloads, subscriptions and product key
    3. find your purchase Windows 8.1, and then click Download
    4. If a dialog box appears, click Run to start the installation
    5 follow the instructions in the installation wizard to complete the installation of Windows 8.1 "

    Before thiis upgrade, is there advice that I should follow to avoid an honest mistake?  For example, losing a feature because of the upgrade?

    Thanks for your comments.

    You can do this and see if there are drivers that manufacturing has to W8 for that specific material. But you should check the site driver from HP for your P/N and see whether they have or W8 drivers list. Don't forget the older laptop after 2012, the chances of HP with W8 drivers will be slim to none since they do not include support for older hardware.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 3150eq Upgrade of RAM

    My laptop is HP Pavilion DV7 Entertainment PC 3150eq, currently, it has 4 GB and supports up to 8. Looked the specifications, but the only information it has 4 GB of DD3 RAM and the motherboard supports up to 8 GB of RAM. It does not say how many slots is 2, 4, etc.

    Anyone know who is the manufacturer and the speed of the RAM memory installed on the laptop model? And if not to much to ask, how many slots memory is on the motherboard?

    Hello

    Normally, each laptop has 2 slots for RAM. You can use the following information:

    Memory type: DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 (non - ECC)
    Maximum memory: 8 GB - Slots: 2
    Each slot of memory can hold DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-8500 with a maximum of 4 GB per slot.

  • Pavilion dv7-6b76eo: upgrade of RAM HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo

    I created a thread really well here and received great help from @Paul_Tikkanen so if he or someone else could help me, that would be great. Don't know why I can't post a reply in this thread again. They either closed the thread or I'm blind. In any case, I have the HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo and plan an upgrade of RAM. Currently I have samsung 2 x 4 Go PC3-10600 / DDR3-1333.

    1. I think go to ddr4, but what keeps me is some threads I have read saying ddr4 won't even in good physical shape in a ddr3 slot (which is my current) as well as this piece of info from Wikipedia:

    DDR4 SO-DIMM have 260 pines (instead of 204 pin DDR3), which are evenly spaced more close (0.5, rather than 0.6 mm) and are 2.0 mm wider (69.6 against 67.6 mm), but still the same 30 mm in height.

    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM

    • 204-pin SO-DIMM (DDR3) have a single notch closest in the center than at 200-pin SO-DIMM.
    • 260-pin SO-DIMM (DDR4), 69.6 mm (2,74 in.) wide and 30 mm (1.2 inches) in height, making it wider than the DDR3 SO-DIMM, with one notch after pin 2 mm 144 (0,079 in.).

    Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

    This means that a chip of RAM SODIMM ddr4 wouldn't even in good physical shape in the slot of my laptop?

    2. well, okay... If I have to make my peace with her and stay with DDR3 can I at LEAST faster DDR3 install i.e. PC3-17000 / DDR3-2133 because my current a PC3-10600 / DDR3-1333 is sorta slow sometimes?

    Thanks in advance and would really appreciate an answer to the question 1 and 2 above!

  • Pavilion dv7-1004ea: upgrade my Hp Dv7 laptop 1004EA

    Hello

    I have this computer pavilion laptop dv7-1004ea and I want to upgrade the CPU and memory.

    What is the best processor suported and the memory of the motherboard?

    Can support the i3, i5, i7?

    Can support this type of memory: 8 GB DDR 3 at 1600 mhz?

    What battery is correct for this cell with 6600mah more?

    Thank you!

    The program is accurate... it is your chipset, but the problem is the conclusions you want to draw information. HP configures to use specific processors and memory as described in the service manual I posted so information on what chipset is capable of by hypothesis are not really relevant. The RAM slots are clavetés for DDR2 and you might not get a DDR3 module in there if you tried. Only some specific processors will work with BIOS and hardware. So not Quad Cores. Up to Core 2 Duo T9600.

    I was wondering if possible to upgrade my memory and processor... hp pavilion dv7 1260us?

    Here are the specs:

    Plug

    You have an AMD Turion RM-74 processor and 4 GB of RAM. The RAM is DDR2 and it may take 8 GB of DDR2, but that the memory of any reputable vendor is crazy expensive, like $150 ++ for 2 x 4 gig modules.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    The top of the page compatible processor is an AMD Turion™ Ultra Dual-Core 35W ZM-86 2.40 GHz with 2 MB of L2 cache

    If you want to go from 2.2 ghz to 1 meg to 2.4 ghz with 2 MB of L2 cache L2 cache, may be a treatment of 20% energy improvement. Not enough, IMO, to justify the difficulty because it is still not in the ballpark of machines of today.

    You can buy the processor from a dealer renowned for $15 with free shipping. That should tell you what the demand is for her. Basically obsolete.

    This is the top of the page processor:

    AMD Turion™ X 2 Ultra Dual-Core M640 35 - W, 2.60 GHz with 2 MB of L2 cache

    No triple or quadruple-heart is compatible. The upgrade would you take of 2.3 ghz with a cache L2 1 MB to 2.6 ghz with 2 MB L2 cache memory.

    Your service Manual

    Given that these processors are more desirable, they got dirt cheap:

    For $32, I would upgrade. Keep in mind, none of this will help games performance at all. You have integrated graphics card Radeon 4350 UMA which is unimpressive to say the least. The SSD will give you faster boot time and better performance of the app and the 8 GB of RAM would you allow to run other things at the same time.
