HP pavilion G4 Notebook Power Performance related issue

The product name and number : hp Pavilion G4 - 101 5 dx Notebook PC

Operating system : Windows 7

Question:

When I plugin the power supply, I play the game smoothly. BUT when I unplug the power supply the game starts to run slowly. The frame rate starts to become slow. The game is fully compatible with my computer. I have also kept the power to high-performance, but still does not work. Can someone help me with it? I can't afford to play the game in such a slow rate, when my computer is running on battery. This issue is not only with a single game, but with all of the others also...

This issue could be due to the switchable graphics on your laptop. As soon as you unplug the device, the laptop uses the graphics card integrated to save battery, which reduces the FPS in the game and it starts the slow race.

Open Catalyst Control Center and configure switchable graphics to use the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 graphics card even when you run out of battery.

  • Power supply related issue

    Hi, I bought this HP Pavilion p7-1241 Dekstop 2 months. I intend to add an EVGA GeForce GTX 550Ti 192 bits (Fermi) 1 GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 video card and I wonder if I need to improve my power of 300w. If I do need to update, how many watts do I need for my desktop with this video card and where to buy.

    Vino09, welcome to the forum.

    According to the website of EVGA GTX 550Ti requires a minimum of 400 w to work properly.  If it were me, I would upgrade the power supply (PSU).  I normally recommend at least 500W.  This allows for future updates.  You can actually use any power.  It won't hurt the system.  The computer draws so much power that it needs to function properly.

    I like Corsair and OCZ PSU.  They develop products for lovers / players at a reasonable price.  Measure the existing PSU and compare them to those you choose to ensure that it fits in the space provided.

  • Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: I can pass on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (memory, processor, graphics)

    My dv6 became very slow. I am running Windows 10 and now it takes 15-20 minutes to wake him up from his sleep and connect. Ive done a lot of cleanup and optimization, but nothing got better on that. It get very hot very quickly and the fan always seems to be at the top. I'm looking to try to upgrade the memory and perhaps the (quad-core) processor at least if possible, to see if the performance is going to do better. I can hardly do anything on this issue now because it takes too long! I have a 1 TB of HDD installed there a few years and who works well, but everyday navigation, products microsoft office and editing photo/video light from time to time are almost impossible! What memory and processors are compatible with my device that I could look in the upgrade? Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm new to upgrades of memory and others so I had a bit of a problem of the research/understand exactly what I would like to search! I will post the form below!

    Thank you!

    You have a model dv6-3155dx. Here are your specs:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02548013

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p. 23. Your laptop has the CPU i3 - 370 M and UMA (Intel HD) video so, unfortunately, the processor is not extensible because it is soldered to the motherboard. Put video updated would also require the replacement of the motherboard. CPU upgrades are very difficult and rarely justify financially, in any case, but in your case is not possible at all unless you replace the motherboard, which is even more expensive and less be justified financially. The cost of high end motherboard and CPU and work, you might as well buy a new laptop.

    But all is not lost. The best upgrade, you can do is to install an SSD. You can also switch to 8 GB of RAM. An upgrade will be useful, together, they would be a game-changer.

    You would need 2 x 4 GB modules specified thus:

    Memory module (DDR3 PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz) - 4096 MB 599092-001

    https://www.Amazon.com/HP-VH641AT-4-GB-DDR3-PC3-10600/DP/B0030L3B8E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1472066313 & SR = 8-1 & Keywords = 599092-001

    This model is very, very picky about the memory and it must have 8 black blocks on the side, not 4. Also very intolerant of memory not specified in general. Remember that I bound will work. 'How to' on the manual p.60.

    SSDS are a little harder to choose (as many options) and what I need to know is your budget. I recommend at least a concert 500 class SSD and which will cost $120-160. Since you have 10 Windows, it would be easy to download the Microsoft recovery media directly and simply reinstall, then find the drivers and applications and migrate the data. The installation will be ignited automatically the first time that the computer is connected to the internet. You can also clone the existing content of the new SSD hard drive, but I do not recommend with a facility that is malfunctioning.

    We also probably discuss blowing dust and verification of thermal management in general. A laptop that suddenly becomes very slow, as you describe may have a hard drive problem, too. You need to run diagnostics on the hard drive and also just to check to see if it is full. Drops of performance as a rock if the hard disk reaches 90 percent and more capacity.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: replacement AC adapter

    Hello

    Update: I found the AC adapter plug. Thank you...

    I bought a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (used). The problem is that the AC adapter is overheating and battery (in Windows) information are constantly changing, "load" to "do not load"

    I would buy a new power adapter (including the power cord), but I want to make sure I buy the right, because the one I have right now says spare part (the original owner could buy a fake). The battery is also marked as a spare.

    Information on parts (those I have right now):

    AC adapter / CC: 65w. Input: 100-240 v ~ 50-60 Hz 1.6(1.6A). Output: 18.5V (18.5) 3.5 A (3.5 A)

  • HP Pavilion dv6 notebook intermittent failure of keyboard

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 notebook, 1 year old.  Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 8 GB of Ram.  I have an external wired keyboard (Logitech K120) and a separate wireless mouse.  Frequently in the past few weeks, I noticed that the keyboard will fail once the laptop worked for a while, usually when the laptop is in "sleep".  I hear by fails, * TWO * external and the internal keyboard.  Nor will respond to any strikes at all.  Mouse control is fine, even when the keyboard has failed.

    If I rebooted the system, it works well again.

    I think that when I saw this before, I tried to disconnect the external keyboard, but that doesn't matter, because the integrated keyboard does not work or the other.

    I guess this could result from certain automatic Windows driver installation or upgrade?  Does anyone have advice for the diagnosis or verification of current drivers?

    I have just closed the lid of the laptop, to force the machine mode 'sleep'.  When I opened the lid, the system has taken over, I can log in via the scanner digital, the mouse works but the keyboard has disappeared.  I had to reboot the system, update this message.

    fmaurais,



    Try the following steps:



    Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> Power Options-> change Plan (of the current plan selected) settings-> change the advanced power settings-> parameter of selective suspension of USB-> Disable (both)

    Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> Power Options-> change Plan (of the current plan selected) settings-> change the advanced power settings-> PCI-Express-> Link State Power Management-> Disable (both)



    I read on a Microsoft page that is who can solve some problems "out of sleep."



    computerwhiz90,



    I'll see if I can get a model of your laptop to see if I can reproduce the problem.

  • Asio low latency generic Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC XS078EA driver

    Hello! I have a Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC.  Product XS078EA number. I restored the system to its original state with restore disks. After restoring the system, my audio device doesn't have the "generic low latency asio driver" option more. I used this driver with many production music applications like FL studio and Ableton Live, with optimal performance. Now, I can only use Direct Sound drivers, very poor indeed. I already downloaded and installed the latest version of IDT High Definition Audio drivers from the site, with no result. Please, how can get this 'pilot audio generic low latency' for my audio chipset again?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Problem solved installung Nuendo 4, actually the first audio program I installed when I bought the PC. Generic low latency asio driver has been installed by Nuendo. In my view, remains the best driver asio for integrated audio devices.

    Thank you very much for the help!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    Officially, your model does NOT support Windows 10 and there are no drivers for Windows 10

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-TX2000-entertainment-notebook-PC-series/3650975/model/3658347

    It's a bit old for Windows 10, it was factory well before Windows 10 came to settle. In fact, Windows 10 has been designed not even when this model was released.

    I would recommend that you do not upgrade this model to Windows.

    If you plan to stay on the 8.1 Windows, it will be supported until 2023.

    If you plan to go back to Vista, it will rely on Microsoft until April 2017.

    There is a tiny chance to install Windows 10 by performing a clean install using the ISO method:

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

    http://www.howtogeek.com/197559/how-to-install-Windows-10-on-your-PC/

    After installation (if it fits) she can use a compatible driver for the video card and others. However, I do not recommend this and I would say that you stay with the current OS for this model.

  • Keyboard problems - the circumflex accent keeps jumping around while I type! HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

    Product number: B1W89EA #ABU

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    I have made no recent changes.

    Problem:

    Everything by typing the caret keeps jumping to the top of the screen so that the text I'm in the mid typing eventually disappear to a random position longer than the top of the page, I already typed in the middle of the text.

    For a few weeks, I assumed that it was just me slipping, as I only started using the shortcut ctrl + arrow keys to scroll the text easier. However, I am becoming very sure that this is not the case because it happens to average flow by typing quite normal (i.e. not involving not the arrow keys at all!).

    I didn't have this laptop last summer, but I'm a finalist uni and REALLY rely on my laptop. I type a lot, and it's really annoying and inconvenient

    Hello NerdWhale.  I understand that you are having problems with your keyboard.

    You should try to remove the keyboard and reset the laptop hard driver.  This will force the material in order to be reset.  Try the following.

    1. Click Start, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
    2. Expand the section of keyboards.
    3. Right-click on each device and select uninstall.
    4. Shut down the laptop.
    5. Remove the battery and AC power.
    6. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
    7. Replace the battery and AC power.
    8. Start Notepad and allow Windows to reinstall the drivers.
    9. Check whether the problem is resolved and post the result.

    I'll keep an eye out for your answer.  Have a great day!

  • Integrated with HP Pavilion dv9715nr notebook PC webcam problem

    Hello everyone,

    I hope someone can help point me in the direction of a fix of webcam for the problem that my laptop has developed. I spent the last few days browsing the internet looking for a solution to what seems to be a widespread problem, but with no satisfactory solution.

    The problem:

    A few days ago my integrated webcam works with Youcam and other applications of webcam with the message 'not found webcam' or 'Please turn on integrated webcam. Dutifully, I went to the device manage and felt that there was no imaging device listed.

    Related problems:

    In addition to this problem, I sometimes get an installation of an unknown USB device. This device is, I'm sure that the webcam, but try as I might I cannot point to the drivers of webcam or update its driver to something other than the best driver that is already.

    What I've tried so far:

    -Reinstall the drivers from the HP website. None of the many different types of pilot managed to bring the webcam life or showing in imaging devices.

    -Follow-up guide HP for the problems of webcam that ends up pushing me towards contacting HP help desk. Which, I imagine, will cost you a lot more money than the I have no money.

    -Uninstall all usb devices and reinstall using scan for the hardware changes. This has, once or twice, brought back the web cam and imaging device and worked for a while. However, before I can update its drivers computer freezes and turns itself off.

    -Flashed the bios. No change.

    -Downloaded the drivers from various other cam as suggested in the huge amount of bugs, there are online for this problem. Unfortunately, none of them worked.

    -Recovery plant recovery drive. The webcam is still missing in the imagery of the Device Manager section.

    Technical specifications:

    HP Pavilion dv9715nr notebook PC

    Vista 32 bit premium - service Pack2

    AMD Turion Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz Dual Processor

    1.94 GB OF RAM

    BIOS F.33, 3.09 M

    Webcam integrated into the lid of the laptop.

    Demand:

    If I understand the large amount of online discussion on what is a common problem and I hope that, among the pages and pages of bugs I looked, I missed a fix somewhere.

    If you have had and solved the problem, or if you have an idea how to sort it out, I'd love to hear from you.

    Edmonds (not Christmas)

    Hello again,

    First of all, let me thank the support forum HP for all their advice and now down to business.

    After a week of problems webcam and extensive research on the internet for a fix for the problem that I finally managed to get my webcam - however, I'm not sure how I did it.

    Below is a step by step guide.

    Now, I know that's not exactly the most empirical of bugs, however, it worked for me. From what I remember last night, the key points seem to be the following. If I insist I was very drunk and I tried almost every difficulty in the two websites above. (The bullet points below are not related)

    • Installation of a very old version of Quickplay.
    • Install the drivers from the DPinstall32.exe.
    • Get a webcam driver update Ricoh are displayed in windows update.
    • Go to Panel configuration/program and using change to the webcam repair and modification.
    • Play with the Services Windows Image acquisition.

    There was, no doubt, many other things I've done and, quite frankly, I am surprised that I did not kill my laptop I did most of them at the same time. However, the webcam is back and running so I recommend drunken stupidity and perseverance as key elements of this fix.

    Finally, somewhere in the two threads I linked will be your fix. There are a lot of different patches so keep and you can do with one of them.

    Good luck. Mines a pint of the black stuff.

  • Pavilion N5415 notebook replacement hard drive

    I have an older Pavilion N5415 Notebook and hard drive died. HP no longer wears the replacements I can order online. The old drive is an IBM & reg Travelstar 4200 RPM 10 GB, ATA/IDE, 2.5 "x 9.5 mm. I need to know what I can safely replace this drive with." I found one on amazon.com with the following specifications and I need to know if it will work:

    • Hitachi Travelstar 4 K 120 HTS421280H9AT00 80 GB portable hard drive
    • Buffer 8 MB spindle speed 80 GB storage capacity IDE UDMA/100 4200 RPM interface
    • 7.1 ms average latency average 11 ms read seek time format 2.5 inch 9.5 mm drive height factor

    What other specs do I need to be concerned in addition to rpm and physical size?

    Thank you!

    32 GB is only a problem on some old computers... no need to worry. Once you have passed this barrier the next barrier is 137 gigs which does nothing more than 120 concerts can be used. I don't know the N5415 will be executed against this barrier. So whatever it is a disk of 120 Go up is ok and not better or worse than a smaller drive. Indeed, young readers tend to be older design, which means that they are running more hot and use more power.

Maybe you are looking for
