HP Pavilion tx2500z CTO Entert: HP Pavilion tx2500z CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello good people, I upgraded from Vista to Windows 8.1 and started to have problems with the face sad video failure VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. I was advised to update the RAM but not sure how many RAM or RAM max to add. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

Hello Sola,

I found this info in the Guide Service and Maintenance: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03182899

page: 9 in the PDF Online.

Looks like Max RAM of 4 GB

Memory

● two SODIMM slots

● accessible, extensible Client

Support Dual-channel ●

● DDRII PC2-5300 (667 and 800 MHz)

Total system memory of 4096 MB (2048 MB x 2, dual-channel)

Total system memory of 2048 MB (2048 MB × 1, 2 × 1024 MB dual-channel)

But that the error is not of your RAM but you graphics card driver most likely.

Driver for your graphics card from the site Web of AMD for windows 8 x 64: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows%208%20-%2064

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade processor

    Hello

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC.  Due to a new job, I need to update my processor of the current 2.30 GHz (see exact specifications below, please) of at least 3.0 GHz.

    Is there a processor 3.0 GHz there that is compatible with this particular computer? I called tech support and they told me they don't know. I don't know who else to ask.

    This computer was purchased just a few months ago (before I got the new job). I really don't buy a new computer, if possible, if I can upgrade the processor in it.

    Here are the current processor specifications:

    Intel Core i7 3610QM
    Codename Ivy Bridge
    RPGA Socket 988 B package
    The 22nm technology
    Specification Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, it seems that one (that I found) 3.0 GHz processor that Intel made for my chipset (HM77 Express Chipset) and it's the Extreme edition i7-3940XM (http://ark.intel.com/products/71096/)

    Priced at $1,000 +, it looks like I'll be shopping for a new computer.

    Don't know if anyone from HP read the peer forums, however, I won't buy another HP product.

    This machine had problems outside of me needing to upgrade the processor for my own personal reasons. Your support is grossly lack in all areas even pull your techscannot model with the serial number.

    Visitors should not go out on the Internet for questions of research like this.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive replacement

    Hello

    I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC, and I had problems with hard disk of the guarantee period. for example I buy in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and 2012. Next time, he failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on average).

    The last time it failed, the warranty has expired so I thought to give it a try as employment through fixing/amortization of bad sector seagate software, Toshiba... that came out of Smart Drive Error.

    I use the HARD drive for some time now, but want to be ready for the next round and I don't know that he's going to be gone for good next time.

    Current HARD disk is 640 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive (replaced in 2012). HP 621046-001 manufacturer.

    When replacing, can I use ANY hard drive 640 GB? Can I use a hard drive that is higher than 640 GB? Different RPM?

    Any suggestions on hard drive?

    The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work properly. I had to use the first game I had created just after I bought the laptop.

    Thank you.

    I think that 160GB 2.5 "SATA III SSD is good for the system.

    Don't forget that some 802.11n Intel modems use a configuration triple antenna as well. This means that the replacement of the modem (if Intel) requires a display of both replacement block.

    An accurate answer requires better identification of your laptop.

    Look at the label with barcode at the bottom of your laptop. After all, there, except the serial number.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-3150us Entertainment Notebook not start after sitting on the side.

    Hello! I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3150us Entertainment Notebook that works under Windows 7. Last week, I traveled with him in Florida, and when I arrived and tried to turn on the laptop, it wouldn't start. The screen was white with thin lines going through it and the screen turned slowly black. I disassembled the computer and put it back together (which I have experience with, I installed a new fan at the beginning of last year) and he came in safe mode. This ihappened still once I put the laptop in my bag on back and then he pulled out a few minutes later (without even moving) and when I got home. I tested the hard drive and memory, and they both passed. Other that this question, the computer has worked fine. I need to get this problem solved, because I am a PhD student and travel frequently with your laptop. Could someone help me please? What causes this problem? Thank you.

  • 8 GB of RAM for DV4-2045DX memory: 8 GB RAM Chip Notch does not fit HP Pavilion DV4 - 2045DX Entertainment Notebook

    Sir/Madam,

    Hello. My laptop is HP Pavilion DV4-2045DX Entertainment Notebook with 4 GB of memory which is 2 coins in 2 locations inside the machine.

    Because 4 GB of RAM is not enough to run my system now, I need to upgrade the memory of 8 GB that is 2 chips with 4GB RAM each in 2 slots.

    I bought RAM 8 GB chips online ordering
    http://www.seifelden.com/8gb-2x4GB-memory-RAM-for-HP-Pavilion-dv4-2045dx-laptop-memory.html?fee=39&f... .

    Item number: SoDimm_DDR3_2X4GB_B3377

    After I pulled out the existing RAM chips, I tried to put the new RAM 8 GB chips in 2 slots, but it does not fit the slot. The detail is that the size of the entire chip is shaped, but the notch on the long side of the upper part does not fit the clip into the machine.

    I tried to move clip to match the notch in the RAM chip, but the clip cannot be moved. I guess that there is a mechanism to adjust the clip to match the notch in the RAM chip, but I don't know how to do it.

    My question is:
    Could you please check why the 8 GB RAM chips do not have HP Pavilion DV4 - 2045DX Entertainment Notebook?

    How to adjust the clip to match the notch in the RAM 8 GB chip?

    Thanks in advance.
