HP Pavilion dv8: processor speed

The cpu speed reported in the Task Manager is 0.91 Ghz. The reported speed is always this number; or more or less quickly. The system is 1,60 Ghz with 6 GB of memory.

How can I get the full speed? The system is a logical core 4 core 8 but seems rather slow given the technology.

I don't see anything that deals with the speed in the BIOS.

The same question was seen in Windows 7 Pro as well as the current Windows 10 Pro. It is a 64-bit system. The operating system has always been 64-bit with all updates applied.

The BIOS is also common.

Thank you

This one was a beauty to solve. It turns out that the power adapter is a failure.

When only on the battery, the system reports 1.60 Ghz as built. When plugged 0.91 Ghz.

During all my previous tests and research, I've had the laptop plugged in. When I accidentally unplugged the power cord while the frequency of the processor test was normal.

Control of the output voltage has shown less than 16 DC if the system has been forced into power saving mode. Unplugged, it ran on the full of 14.4 DC battery voltage. So he was fed properly.

Thanks for the help but it wasn't software, BIOS, or configuration problems. It was a curiously sneeky problem.

Enjoy

  • Pavilion 15-n248sa: what processor speed is shown on the information sheet?

    I was recently going through all my stuff, work on which should be placed in a cell, when I found all the information about my computer sheets. On one of these journals, it says that I have an Intel Pentium Quad - Core 2.4 GHz processor N3520, but when I go into the control panel system page, it says I have an Intel Pentium Quad - COre N3520 2.16 GHz processor (it says 2.00 GHz when I was on windows 8.1, the preinstalled operating system, but has increased during the update). The processor name and model number are identical on the sheet and the Control Panel, but the speeds are different from almost 400 MHz, the origianal operating system and almost 250 MHz off now. I was wondering if it was because on the sheet, they wrote the overclock speed, or if HP has another way of mesuring the speed of the processor as the OS does.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I have attached the image of the sheet that I found, (badly) photoshopped of private information.

    Please see Intel® Pentium® Processor N3520 (2 M Cache, up to 2.42 GHz) to get answers to your question. Basis of the processor speed is 2.16 GHz, burst speed is 2.40 GHz, and according to the power state of the computer speed can be reduced to slot an of these.

  • How can I ensure that I have usb2 working on pavilion dv8? It does not appear in Device Manager

    Hi all

    I'm trying to configure a USB external (interface audio) on my HP Pavilion DV8 1250ea. The device driver fails to install properly and is unable to detect that the device is connected (even if I hear the Ding-Dong, and he appears in the Manager of devices, but with an exclamation point).

    I went to the device manufacturer's support and they advised me that the problem is likely to be caused by my system doesn't support USB2. They also told me how can we test this hypothesis - I looked at the Device Manager and told me I'd see something like:

    http://www.native-instruments.com/knowledge/images/General/USB_power.gif

    However, mine is:

    http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3236/nousb2.PNG

    See, no USB2!

    I just checked the section support and chipset installed udates and other things that sounded relevant - still no change. My system really not support USB2 - it has clearly stated in the specifications that the model does support. This seems to be the most likely reason why my audio interface does not work.

    Thank you very much!

    I plan to upgrade my OS to El Capitan.  What are the processor speed and memory required for the operating system works well?

    I use a processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 with DDR3 4 GB 1333 MHz memory.

    My last similar attempt on another machine resulted in a very slow computer.

    Thanks, Ron

    Apple says the following:

    General requirements

    • OS X 10.6.8 or later version
    • 2 GB memory
    • 8.8 GB of available storage

    For best performance, I would say not less 4 GB and preferably 8 GB or more.

    Your i5 is well able to support properly.

  • Digital Persona software stops working on the Pavilion dv8-1250ea

    Hello!

    I noticed that Digital Persona, the software for the JJUJ scanner integrated on my HP Pavilion dv8-1250ea stops working whenever the laptop wakes from standby or hybernation mode. On the login screen, the icon on the right referring to the fingerprint reader warning flashing at a rate of about twice a second and the following note says "fingerprint reader not detected". So I'll type the password manually, but the cursor in the field password prevents jump at the beginning of the field at the same pace, and it seems as if there is a current discount. The only way to log is press the 'end' key immediately before each character in the password, which is a disappointment.

    I recently downloaded an update for Digital Persona, but it has not solved the problem.

    Any ideas how to fix? Thanks in advance!

    Here is a work around, see if it works... You will need to go to Device Manager, depending on what hardware you have; AuthenTec orvalidity... Double-click on it... who will launch the Properties Windows... Click on tab power management... this tab, uncheck the box that reads "allow the computer to turn off the device to save power"... and see if it works... ' "

  • The processor speed and RAM for Hyperion 11.1.2.3

    Hi all

    Can I know where I can get the information below:

    For example, we are 4 dev servers. Installation modules: Foundation, Essbase, FDM, ODI, Planning Reporting

    for 50 users, how can we calculate RAM, processor, processor speed how?

    Documents or articles as well.

    Thank you

    Mady

    Not wishing to be too dismissive but it's one of these "how long a piece of string fo do I need?' type questions."

    The memory & processors will depend on the size and complexity of the applications/cubes resulting.

    As Essbase is always subject to a single processor by cube of pork, it is best to go for high speeds (3 Ghz +) processor more quanity of carrots for an essbase server.

    As a rough starting point I would usually put up on about 4 servers each at least 16 GB of RAM and 4 cores of each. However, you can get everything on a single server if he;'s spec is good enough and your cargo will be light (dev purposes).

    If the app is great, or reports strong he might need for more servers (Weblogic applications horizontal scale) or more of memory.

  • Pavilion dv8 ct1000 Nvidia Graphics Driver Update failure

    Just a note that my HP Pavilion dv8 laptop with NVidia GeForce GT 230 M graphics card ct1000 fails systematically on an update of the driver being pushed by HP & Microsoft.  The driver of current work is the 8.17.12.5896 version.  HP & Microsoft Updates-ITMU continue to try to push a updated driver (version 8.17.12.6099), and whenever I am hosting this updated driver, PC, on reboot, never took the WELCOME screen.  I tried the Guru3 driver cleaner utility to remove completely all residual driver, all without effect.  Uninstall the old driver, run the utility driver cleaner, disable the anti-virus, then load the new driver, all the results in the same problem, have no past the WELCOME screen a reboot.

    So why this updated driver does not on my PC?

    He is a former rider too, '260.99' this one is 266.58

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-Win7-WinVista-64bit-266.58-WHQL-driver.html

    Here's the latest from NVIDIA, save the file on the desktop using IE8 and install it from there and not in a temporary folder.

    If she will not install, we look at that later. I'm running this on my dv8 and it seems stable so far.

    How is your present driver running, need to be updated?

  • Better to have more processor speed? or more cores?

    Our Mac Pro marketing departments are in need of an upgrade. So we built the most recent Mac Pro on the Apple site, but had a question about the processor. There are mainly 2 options of a processor as we watched, 6 strands 3.5 GHz with 12 MB of L3 cache and 3.0 GHz 8 - core with 25 MB of L3 cache. Is there a recommendation with the software Creative cloud (especially Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop) on if it's faster / more efficient to have the fastest processor speed? or having more cores? InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop is great in MultiThreading?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Adrienna,

    For specifications for creative cloud applications system requirements, please visit the following link: system requirements | Cloud Creative

    In addition, two configurations are pretty overwhelming and a disabling these can manage applications CC very well although my personal recommendation would be one with core processor 3.0 Ghz 8 with 25 MB of l3 cache, there are more hearts but also about l3 cache memory.

    Kind regards

  • different processor speeds

    The VI of ESX5i customer reports CPU as E5630 @2 model. 53 GHz but processor speed shows that 1.6 GHz. It is a machine of R 510 dell with BIOS version 1.5.3. What is the actual speed?  and why it is showing different speeds? Is there any logic or just a restriction on the side of the BIOS? Any response will be appreciated

    Thank you

    You may have low power settings configured in the BIOS, change in the configuration.

    Also look on the host computer in configuration / power management, you will see the settings for the processors in there, you can select the properties to change.

    I always set mine to performance in both contexts.
