HP Pavilion dv7 7008tx: HP Pavilion dv7 7008tx storage update

Hello!

product: B3K25PA #ABG

series: GED-46507.

I want to install an SSD. Currently, I have two drives of 1 TB 5400 RPM + 32GB flash drive. The 32 GB flash is somehow related to my boot drive to improve speed practice by keeping certain files on the SSD for faster loading.

In the manual for my product it is said that my laptop has support for 160GB SSD.

It really means that the largest SSD drives are not supported? If yes then it would not be the upgrade.

It would be also possible to change the 32 GB flash for a bigger drive? And if then this drive cannot be confugured as boot drive (disabelling hybrid storage)?  This way I could keep the two 1 TB drives.

Why because BIOS is programmed such that if any player occupies one of the SATA slots the mSATA never appears in the boot order. To be 100% accurate, it may be the boot disk, but only if it is the only drive. Read/write for mSATA and "regular" SATA speeds are very similar. So the performance difference between a SATA MSSD and a 2.5 inch SATA SSD are negligible. So as I said, your optimal configuration is to remove the MSSD and install a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in the main port, a mechanical drive on the second track. The second track is also not bootable, incidentally.

  • Pavilion 15-n096 store update for win8.1 not tested

    Elsewhere on this site, it shows that HP have not tested Pavilion 15-n096 for update of the win8.1 store

    I'm currently holding back due to the number of problems with other portable hp. However, there seem to be 8.1 drivers available for this machine, so I guess it will be OK.

    I was wondering why HP have not tested yet and they're going to do?

    Please provide the complete product number or the model number of your laptop.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-3116eo CPU update

    Hi all!

    I recently inherited a HP Pavilion dv7-3116eo Entertainment notebook not working. The lights (one blink) indicate that the CPU does not work.

    The processor is an AMD Turion II M520, do I have to replace it with the model, or can I switch to the M600, M620, M640 or M660? These are all Caspian 45nm SOI with TDP of 35W, just like the M520. But what supports the motherboard?

    I searched on the site of HP support for the specifications of the product, but there is no mention (that I can find) what motherboard processor supports the dv7-3116eo. This link was the best that I could find - no list of processor: :-/

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=68932&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&CC=d...

    Thank you!

    Hello, @EricWerk

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    According to the Guide to care and maintenance for your laptop, you can switch to the m600, m620, m640.

    What is compatible and references are also found in the guide, as well as instructions on how to replace it.

    I hope you're able to help.
    Thanks for posting on the forums of HP.

    Hi all

    This problem is a BIOS problem more precisely with the memory reference Code (MRC) version 1.4.0.0 or more. Contact the manufacturer of your system or the card mother for an update system for your system BIOS or the motherboard that includes the MRC 1.5.0.0 or newer.
    If you have a system with 2 or more memory modules and are comfortable with the removal of all but one of them so that your memory is in single channel mode, try and remove all but one of them and the problem will disappear. This can be used as a workaround until you are able to update your BIOS from the manufacturer of your system or motherboard that includes the MRC 1.5.0.0 or newer.
    -------------------------

    Is this thread by forum on the website of intel:
    http://communities.Intel.com/thread/30096?start=105&TSTART=0

    I think that's the question that I am experiencing. I checked it by deleting memory modules and solve the problem itself.

    Does anyone know where we can expect an update of the bios? I really want to reinstall my second memory stick and retrieve my additional 8 GB.

    You have the original sticks that came with your laptop?

  • HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-p204: UPDATE of HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT HP BIOS update for Intel processor (F43) - SHOWING AGAIN

    Hello

    I am new to the community of HP.

    I'm having a problem. Well, I can't really say it is a MAJOR problem because there is no threat to the system or anything, it's just one of those little annoying things.

    Yesterday, I updated my BIOS F.43 after being invited by HP support assistant. Update succeeded, charged back up the laptop, and the watch update STILL not installed on the HP support assistant. I reinstalled it and it still shows the same thing.

    It's just a bug and it is really installed and the wizard of support has not been updated?

    Thank you

    Hi @GarethWilliamss,

    Thanks for posting in the Forums of HP and welcome.

    I read on the HP Support Assistant and prompt you to download on your HP Pavilion Notebook 15 - p204. As you can imagine this is a glitch. Ignore the update.

    I hope this helps.

    Please let me know if this help solve the problem by marking this post as accept as a Solution.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-570f: update Bios

    Pavilion Elite HPE-570f

    Prod. BV542AA #ABA

    Recently upgraded to Windows 10 (64 bit) to Windows 7.

    The Bios is older than 5 years. is it possible to upgrade?

    What I've read, HP uses modified BIOS, not those generally available on the motherboard manufacturers websites, even IF you can find your Board on the website of the Board manufacturer. The only "safe" to install BIOS would be those that HP show for download on their Web page to your computer, in your case this page is:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-elite-HPE-desktop-PC-series/5035344/model/5061025#Z7_3054ICK0KGTE30AQO5O3KA30R1

    and I don't see any update of the BIOS listed so far.  In my case, with my computer, they did an update that appeared shortly after my purchase.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-slimline-400-desktop-PC-series/5358996/model/5365421

    It is not really necessary to update the BIOS.

    If you feel that you just have to do and don't mind the risk involved, then download the latest version of your download folder and double-click the softpaq.

  • HP Pavilion 23-b010 BIOS updated

    I have a question about updating the BIOS on my HP Pavilion 23-b010. Currently installed BIOS is version 8.09 FRIEND (who has been the construction of the plant). When I bought the machine at the factory loaded OS is Windows 8. Subsequently I have upgraded to Windows 8.1. Recently, I noticed on the Windows 8 software & Web page download driver for my particular PC there is an update of the listed BIOS - version 8.13 (sp8624.exe) applicable to the 2AF0 of the ROM. family then checked this update the directory FTP Internet HP site - where it is described as a "critical security improvement."

    I would like to install this update of the BIOS, but it is not displayed as an update on the Windows 8.1 software & driver downloads Web page to my PC. So I need some advice. My current BIOS 8,09 was for a machine of Windows 8; so is the new version 8.13. But I have upgraded to Windows 8.1; so my attention before installing - don't want my PC into a brick.

    FYI my PC motherboard is Pegatron 2AF0.
