• 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!

• Tecra M9-185 - 750 GB HARD drive not recognized

  I have Tecra M9-185 (PTM91E-0G4045G3) with BIOS Version 1.90 dated the 29.02.2008.
  It came with HARD drive of 160 GB, which is quite old and needs replacement. I want to upgrade the HARD drive. I tried to use the 750 GB HARD drive, but it was not recognized by the BIOS.

  Is it possible to upgrade the HARD disk? Is there a limit to the ability of the new HARD disk that can be installed?

  Hello

  Of course, the HARD drive can be upgraded.
  The laptop supports the SATA controller. The SATA controller is not limited to a special HARD drive size of my knowledge. 750Go should be supported too. But it might be possible that the BIOS is not able to manage these dimensions.
  Try a different SATA HDD with the smaller size.

  But question: why you n t choose an SSD (250 GB)?
  I have improved my Tecra A10 with a 250 GB SSD and the performance gain is amazing. The machine is running much faster and quieter

• files and folders: How can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive?

  Who can help, I just put a new account on my computer and deleted the old account. I backed up the old files on my external hard drive. I want to know is how can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive? I thank you for your time and knowledge have a very nice evening, Shawn

  Because it's a new account (even if with the same name), the restore procedure is unable to put files and folders in the same place, they came (because this place technically no longer - if yes, then the process is done and the transfer is complete). It can create a set of separate files (maybe even under a new user name, if it has been stored in this way).  If so, all you need to do is copy the data as you would copy any other files and folders (not the main files of the user profile themselves but the data in them) on the new files in your user account and who will take care of the transfer. Here is more information about the restore procedure which may help you in the process.

  Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

  This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

  Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

  Back up and restore: frequently asked questions
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

  1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

  2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

  3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

  4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

  5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

  6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

  7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

  8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

  9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

  10. and you press "next".

  11 guess what... no error!

  12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

  13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

  14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

  I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• I can't activate my real Vista on 'New' material by using the hard drive of my old hardware

  OK, I got a laptop comes pre-loaded with windows Vista and it has got water damage and shorted, the hard drive however is in good working condition. I bought a laptop replacement because I didn't want to be on another computer that someone else would break anyway.

  so I bought this used the laptop from a friend that he would use to intnet and games, she had similar specs as my old laptop except the proccessor was different but similar speed and what not. what I want to do is to install the hard drive from my old with Vista genuine in this 'new' computer that has a hard drive in a way smaller and is loaded with XP.

  compatible sound and I have already, but it asks me for my product key that I have but it says its wrong (I guess as its headquarters in the old hardware) so is there a way to unregister the old hardware or upgrade my hardware information in order to use my old hard drive and keep my status as a true?

  not only is a HDD larger but its quicker and there all my files ive been without for more than a year now and frankly I need it back so bad at this point

  Thank you thank you

  Sorry, but versions OEM of Windows Vista cannot be transferred to another computer.  The license is permanently tied to the original computer, it has been installed and activated on. Carey Frisch

• Unable to see the new files from the external hard drive in Windows Media Player library

  Original title: music is dead

  Windows media player does not recognize my external hard drive on all my computers windows 7, but works fine on my xp. has taken the laptop shop they led produced songs media player then reinstalled them, and it worked. but when I added more songs on the ext. harddrive and tried to play on windows media player 7 it does not find new! can't afford to take to the store whenever I have download music and want to play on my Media Player 7. is it auto recognition? When I plug the ext. harddrive inside automatically so reads the news on it?

  It has been fixed thought

  I had posted a question on my Ext. harddrive, my windows xp Media Player recognizes new music I have add out of it, but all my computers which are used to windows 7. then I myself especially when I add the new music on the hard drive for media playyer on xp I have spend the toolbar and click on file, then click Add to library computer search and it adds to the media player library. but windows 7 does not have this option. I noticed if you click file, and then manage libraries, and then the music lets me add my Ext. harddrive (e drive) to the library list. on a computer it support of new music and videos found on the hard drive, on two computers it just music, so I downloaded a song and a video on the hard drive, plugged into the computer and media player says that it has been updated of library, and yet there they never found the new files. Why have they changed? XP was so easy. new is not always better!

  Hi Bob,

  According the description preceding, Windows Media Player is not picking new music on the external hard drive.

  I suggest you to perform the following troubleshooters.

  I have an HTML page created with web expression 4. It contains only a wmv video.

• How can I move (not simply copy) folders/files to an internal hard drive to another hard drive internal?

  I just finished the construction of a new office with 2 internal hard drives: a Crucial SSD of 128 MB and a 1 TB Samsung HDD. I loaded my programs commonly used on the SSD more fast and Windows 7 (64-bit) and to use a lot more big HARD drive to store data and programs less commonly used. I transferred all my data in my old desktop using Windows Easy Transfer, but it would only allow me to transfer data to my system drive / C: (SSD) boot. So now, I want to move my data files on my D: drive. Windows will allow me to move the folders and files on an external drive, but apparently only will allow me to copy on the D: drive. Which means I have to delete all the files copied from the C: drive to D:. This certainly isn't a huge problem, but I wonder if there is a way to just move all the files, rather than copy/delete. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

  Why don't you just cut & paste?

  Open Windows Explorer, select the files you want.  If you want to select all files in a given folder, press Ctrl + A (this will select all THE files & folders).

  Press the ALT on your keyboard and you will see the Edit menu (see the screenshot below).

  

  Select "cut".

  Now, go to your destination folder and press the ALT key again.  Click on the Edit menu.

  Select "Paste".

• Pavilion dv7-6c90us +: choose a new laptop

  First writer of forum of time looking for some good advice!

  My HP Pavilion dv7-6c90us Entertainment PC Windows 7, processor Intel Core i7 and Beats Audio has been the best laptop I've ever had. It was recently damaged in transit, and even if it still works fine, it is certainly a wake-up call that I'll need to invest in a new laptop soon.

  I am a PhD student, and I often bike to school with him on my back, so I would have preferred a lighter model, but is not a requirement. It takes a 17 "display or about. I love Windows 7, but again, this is not a deal breaker.

  Any advice or comments on a new model would be great!

  Hello

  Since your first option is a laptop 17 "so not too the choice now because all providers now focus on small, light portable... computers. My suggestion: try the HP Envy 17 class machines. They are good machines and you can choose a few options such as FHD, SSD, touchscreen...  Please try:

• Laptop HP Pavilion DV7 not really hot...

  Product information:

  Name: HP Pavilion DV7-6193

  OS: Windows 8

  Changes to the system: Updated, recently reinstalled Windows 8 video card drivers

  Hello

  Lately, my laptop has been get very hot and the fan is really loud, even if I do things as little as surfing the internet, for the moment, I closed all the non-essential programs in the Task Manager I do not use, and turns at 70 degrees (Celsius) sometimes still warmer upwards to 80 degrees (Celsius) while watching videos on Netflix. When used for games, it goes up to 90 degrees. This has happened for a while now, before even to update my video card driver, so I eliminated that as a possible reason. I tried to put it on the mode or balanced in energy saving mode, but not much changes if anything. I disabled switchable graphics problems with no switch cards AMD I have inside (uses Intel on switchable) so I took off switchable graphics for game reasons. I have a cooler laptop that I use, but just worried, why it is not so hot for not heavy use any. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

  As your laptop HP Pavilion dv7-6193 Entertainment is two to three years old, you want to maybe blow out the vents with a can of air compressed. When the dirt is trapped in the vents, it reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. This can cause the fan to the race as it tries to cool the CPU. Finally the system is overheated and shut down to protect themselves.
