HP-pavilion upgrade question
I have a pavilion p6110t PC x64based (CTO) which was purchased in June 2009. It came with Vista and I upgraded to Windows 7 Home premium as soon as it was released in October 2009. I also added a 4 GB of RAM for a total of 7 GB. and I have svc. Pack1
I always wonder why it takes more than 2 minutes of win7 welcome screen to get to the screen. The screen goes black and after 2 minutes, it displays the desktop. I went and disabled some things to start - maximum but I'm not sure that some things are so I leave them alone.
I noticed that as soon as I installed the two sticks of memory 2 GB the machine stops faster - but the start is always the same.
Is this normal after an upgrade from Vista to windows7?

Hi Chukka,
Over the years, I've seen version of the operating system upgrade works not as well as facilities in own, simply because the upgrade can keep old unnecessary files that make the system need to "think more difficult" who actually run more slowly.
Now on your startup items, it is difficult for me to see all the items in your image, but I can see some as the 'Corel Photo', which would be perfect remove the check mark from. When I go through MSCONFIG, my rule of thumb is to remove the controls from any ordinary software (itunes, Real, Corel, etc.). I tend to just let things like an Antivirus software and key services such as Sound Devices or things like that. Also, feel free to experiment. If you doubt the item, uncheck the box and then reboot to see if that makes a difference. You can always add the control to the rear.

HP Pavilion dv7t Entertainment PC Memory Upgrade Question
Product name: HP Pavilion dv7t-2000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC
PRODUCT # NB444AV
OSOriginally installed: Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium
Currently installed OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
When I bought the laptop, HP included a "FREE upgrade to 4 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) 2 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) system system'. I don't check then. Now, when it is slow, I checked the memory installed by 'Start-> computer-> (right click)-> properties-> installed memory (RAM). It shows that 2 GB.
I'm baffled why it shows only 2 GB of RAM now, when HP was supposed to install 4 GB. In any case, I would like to upgrade memory now. I have referred to as "HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC. Maintenance and Service Guide "." He describes the memory Module as:
Spare part number description
Memory 2048 MB (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480382-001
Module memory 1024 MB (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480381-001
Module of 512 MB memory (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480380-001My question: can I use a 4 GB Kit (2GBx2) DDR2 800 MHz (PC2-6400) SODIMM 200 pin notebook Modules memory in the crack avialable? Memory at 800 MHz won't be compatible with 667 MHZ memory?
I can't install module memory 2 x 4 GB to 8 GB? Will it be recognized by the card mother/BIOS/Windows?
Thank you for your expert advice.
You are the very welcome.
Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01689926.PDF
Please see Chapter 4, page 54.
It seems to me that there are two memory slots (one almost on top of the other). Take a look at the illustration.
This is why the memory in Chapter 1 specifications indicate that you can install up to 8 GB of memory (2 x 4 GB).
You can install a single chip PC2-6400 4 GB and leave the one you have in there now.
It comes to the module memory 4 GB good cheaper brand I could find.

Hi @Chris_8318,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!
I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6500 Entertainment of CTO Notebook and concerns with the installation of a hard drive again. If you keep the new larger than your original SSD and it supports Sata 5400 RPM 9.5 mm, 2.5-inch hard drives, you'll have no problems.
Here is a link to your manual page 23 for specifications.
Please let me know how it goes.

Pavilion 17-e020us: HP Pavilion 17-e020us card mother/processor upgrade Question
Hello
I think to upgrade the motherboard on my HP Pavilion PC 17 - e020us. The manual (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04069163.pdf) contains a list of supported processors, and I'm not sure that we choose. The computer currently has a processor Intel Core i3 - 3110M with 10 64 - bit Windows. I am deciding between the Intel Core i7-3632QM and the Intel Core i5 - 3230M processor (the processor TDP should be 35 w or I have to get a new power supply). You can view a comparison between the two processors and the currently in the system here: http://ark.intel.com/compare/71670, 72056,65700. Although the i7 has a lower base frequency, it has more hearts; the reverse is true for the i5. Could you please tell me what CPU should I choose (I'll get the corresponding motherboard)? Here are the main things I've done on the PC: web navigation on board or Chrome, using Microsoft Office and software development with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (which means that I often use of the Tablet and mobile emulators to test my application - it means also I need to compile quickly and be good with graphics rendering (for design applications/Games)).
In addition, please could you me of those in the manual of the motherboard (34 in PDF of page, page is numbered 24 down to the left)?
Thank you very much to all who have responded.
Hello
Normally we use the rule of 3 C to choose a processor. They are Cache, Core and clock. In this case, I'd choose processor 6 MB Cache. It also has more Core and clock is a little slower but a lot of applications, the slowdown factor is not processor but another factor, namely the HARD disk.
Kind regards.

Pavilion dv7-2050sm: SSD and RAM upgrade questions
Hello
I have two question about upgrading my laptop. I use it for web surfing, movies, some excellent/word work etc... for the most part on a regular basis.
(1) I have seen that my RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB. Currently, I am working at 1333 MHz 4RAM. If I buy 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz will it work on this laptop, I went into the BIOS and have not seen that I can change the speed of ram anywhere nor has seen how much can this support for portable computers, so should I buy 1x4Go 1333 MHz instead if it only supports 1600 MHz.
(2) can I put my disk HARD 700 GB Seagate 5400 RPM SATA II 3.0 Gbps with Samsung 850EVO 250 GB SSD? I know that SATA III drives are retro-compatible meaning can work on SATA II but is it useful, how much speed will I use if my laptop does not support SATA III.
Laptop computer product number: B4E42EA
Chipset: AMD A70M FCH
CPU: Improved A6 4460 M to 4600 M A10
Thank you!
It will not run at 1600 mhz just so buy another 4 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. The SSD is the best upgrade you can do. Certainly worth. SSD SATA-III will work fine on a SATA-II bus. There is very little difference in actual operation.

HP Pavilion Entertainment PC upgrade question
Anyone know if you can upgrade the processor on a HP Pavilion dv9657cl PC laptop? If so, I'm trying to find out what CPU is allowed for such an update and if the system BIOS needs updating, etc. Any help is appreciated!
You are the very welcome.
I never went beyond the installation of hard drives, memory and wireless cards in my notebooks.
I consider doing anything more than beyond my comfort zone.
Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.
Chapter 4 will have removal and replacement procedures.

HP Pavilion g6-2249wm Notebook: RAM upgrade question
When I ordered my laptop a few years, there is, it came with 4 GB of RAM standard, but you could spend up to a maximum of 8 GB to 6 GB. I bought it with 6 GB. I want to move to 8 GB, and I know there are 2 RAM slots in the laptop. My question is, did they use a 6 GB stick in one of the slots or the fact that they use a 4 gb one and one 2g in the other? Im hoping to get a response, so I don't have to open it up and look for myself. I don't know if I should order a 2 GB or 4 GB a stick to get up to 8 GB. That being said, someone knows if HP would be put in a 6 GB stick or run a 4 GB and 2 GB as a whole? IM assuming they put in a single 6 GB and I just need to buy a upgrade 2bg. Thank you
Moreover, it would go better if I just replaced it and got a bar of 8 GB of RAM?
I can tell without looking or read whatever it is, that it isn't just a 6 gig of memory because those who are not 'a thing' as the kids say. You can actually get a software called Belarc Advisor to do the dirty work and interrogate the locations of memory and tell you what is in it or them.
http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html
But since there is no 6 concert sticks; only 2, 4 and 8, we know that you have a 2 gig and a 4 GB and you can mix the 2 and add a 4.
The laptop will not support 8 modules of concert and it will work better with 2 of the same size due to something called mode memory dual channel which is only used when you have two identical modules. So yes, you need to duplicate the existing 4 GB module for a total of 8 and you will see a modest but noticeable improvement in speed.

Pavilion p029tx: Question about upgrading Windows 10
May I know when the update of Windows 10 for my Pavilion p029tx PC laptop will be available.
You can check if your PC is compatible by opening 10 Windows Update app sitting in your taskbar, then click the three lines or the options button in the upper left corner and select check my pc. If it says that your PC is compatible then you are ready to go and you can update using the tool of creation of media.
But before you upgrade make sure you are the PC is updated according to the update of windows and HP Support ASsistant. And after the upgrade, you must check the updates via windows update or hp support assistant again to download the updated drivers supporting windows 10.

The upgrade of Pavilion 751n Questions
I try to keep an old Pavilion 751n functional for some years more. I can't find documentation on memory or updates.
Does anyone know the following:
Memory: Ddr pc2700 memory may be used instead of pc2100?
CPU: CPU, can be upgraded to a Pentium 4 (socket 478) 2.4 GHz? What happened to 2.6 Ghz or 2.8 Ghz processor? (I guess that each of them would be 400 mhz fsb)
Any help or documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Message edited by ArnoldT on 20/09/2009 21:55Hello
Here is a link to your product and specifications of the motherboard. Whatever this is socket µPGA478 Pentium 4 Willamett and Northwood line is supported according to the specifications published HP. Processor FSB should be 400 Mhz.
Memory: you are actually better to stay within the PC2100/1600 range for compatibility reasons. I know these old sticks of memory are more difficult to find PC2700 sticks are.

Pavilion 15-ab150sa: HP - Pavilion 15-ab150sa 15.6 "laptop RAM UPGRADE QUESTION
It is said in the task manager that one slot free, I was just wondering if I could upgrade the laptop to 16 GB. Laptops have already been 1x8gb.
Can my all new laptop handle it?
Thank you very much, and best wishes,
Mr. Hayle.
Unfortunately, HP has not posted a manual for your specific model. The Star Wars thing is the series of 15 t-ab100 and the same physical case and the layout, just Intel AMD not. There is a forum for active discussion on the model of Star Wars and we know by experience of the user, it can be upgraded to 16 gigs and it also comes with a single module of 8 GB and an open slot.
I think this might be your manual, even if it is found under the designation 15z-ab000, A8-7410 processor and the plug and the configuration described in the manual seem to be the same as yours:
It is said expressly:
Supports up to 16 GB of RAM in the following configurations.
I do not work for HP. I am a user final colleague who has some knowledge based on fact that for a few years. I never came across a computer that will a 8 GB module and has a slot for memory that will not accept a second module of 8 GB for a total of 16 concerts. If you buy the 8 GB module and it doesn't work I'll buy it from you for a reasonable current retail value. Just PM me.
Note that this upgrade memory isn't a thing authorized for mutual assistance. The warranty may or may not remain intact.
Also be aware that the upgrade from 8 GB to 16 GB does not alter the performance of the machine much, if at all for the majority of computer users and could well be a waste of money. But if you do heavy photo or video production work, drop the pieces of music or compile large batches of the Code you can use 16 gigs successfully. Same game didn't really need more than 8 GB, however.

Pavilion Desktop p7-1228 PC upgrade question
So about a year or two there, that I had this pre-constructed off-the-shelf pc at best buy and it has some newer issues running game titles. My recent birthday my friend made me a graphics card "Dual-X of Sapphire r9 270 x" and a "Tachyon Rosewill 750 x" power supply.
After 2 hours of tedious installation I have two of them plugged into my computer, however when I lit it back I was unable to access the internet through wifi and Ethernet cables and it seemed that I could not access a lot of my computer programs.
I'm no stranger to the electronic wiring, so I'm fairly certain that is not the question, my friend thought it might be my drivers. Is it possible to update the drivers in offline mode, or is this a completely different problem I have? Any help is appreciated more than.
Ok. boot from the disk and Run the Startup Repair Wizard.
It should solve the problem of the BCD and remake your bootable system.

HP Pavilion DV6000 CPU upgrade question
Hi, first post.
Just given a free laptop DV6000 and I like to tinker. Have built & modified several jobs over the years, but this is my first laptop.
Identify the first thing. Top screen bezel page HR said HP Pavilion DV6000
Said a slogan on bottom DV6700, but also DV6818CA (isn't it a Canadian cell phone, with a bilingual keyboard).
I think I'll give up the bilingual keyboard, because it lacks the F10 key they resemble only 15 dollars off Ebay in any case.
BUT, when I did a scan on Crucial.com memory, they said it was a Pavilion dv6700t series
Product # background is: KN948UA #ABC if this is useful it nail?
Googling the product # gives this hit: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01393353
It has 4 GB of RAM in it, right now and is under Win7 Home Premium.
I think to get the fastest processor that the Mobo can handle and stick it in there. At present, it has a @1 T2370. 73 Ghz, and from what I understand, I can put in the processor the faster is a T7800 @ 2.6 Ghz (if I read correctly)

Advice or direct experience anyone? Thanks in advance.
Oh, and PS, I had read that an update of the BIOS when running Win7 would brick of the PC, is it true?
I can easily get back to Vista and do an update of the BIOS in the first place, if necessary, the new processor, then reinstall Win7.
My BIOS version is F.52 24/03/2008
Hello:
I must have missed reading your post.
It's because I don't watch that normally messages unanswered, and yours is as responded because you posted more than once until I woke up the next morning.
Your laptop may actually take the T9500 since you have an equal or superior to F.45 bios.
The release notes for F.45 State... Adds support for Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile Processors T8100, T8300, T9300, T9500. Fixes the problem where the 1394 port may not work after the release of the standby mode.
Yes, you will definitely your laptop brick if you update the BIOS while running Windows 7. You need to Flash the BIOS in Vista.
Memory... Yes, your PC will work happily 2 x 4 GB PC2 - 5300 or memory 6400. However, unlike the desktop version of the 965 chipset that manages the memory at 800 MHz, the mobile version runs only the memory at 667 MHz.
You can read that this related thread about memory in dv6500 + Intel models with the 965 chipset.
The bad news is that if you have not already this memory (or you can get it at a steep discount), you will pay over $ 200 for 2 x 4 GB for memory that you need.
I would think more than twice before shelling out that kind of $$$ for the memory of a dated PC.
