Pavilion dv6-2010sa Notebook: RAM upgrade

My HP Pavilion dv6 is really slow (especially when you use the internet with more than a couple of tabs open. I did a full audit of viruses, spyware, etc. - all clean. However, when I checked the system I have only 3 GB of RAM (2.75 usable).

Increase the RAM would make a significant difference and if so what is the maximum I should buy (which would be effective)? It would also be very helpful if you can give advice if I should run extra RAM with what I already have or if I have to replace it. Finally, if you could tell me the name of the RAM should I buy and where can I buy it.

Thanks in advance.

It will run up to 8 GB of RAM. This is the laptop DDR2-800 memory. This video shows the replacement of hard disk and memory so just pay attention to memory:

DDR2 is very expensive. Here's the manual for your dv6:

Here is the Kingston showing page guaranteed compatible RAM:

http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/compatible-upgrade-for/HP-Compaq/Pavilion-DV6-2010sa

As you can see, 8 GB is well over $200. Personally, because I'm cheap, I would buy a single module of 2 gig and increase the total RAM of 4 GB or, to be sure it works with maximum efficiency, buy a 4 GB kit if you have 2 identical bars. A 4 GB kit is 'only' $ 56, and it is a reasonable investment. 4 concerts will be significantly better than 3. You might also think of a reinstallation of the operating system. Computers a naturally slow down with age that the registry fills up with junk. There are a few settings, you can clean up the start menu and other things less an OS reinstall.

  • HP Pavilion g6-1304sv Notebook: RAM upgrade

    Hello, again!

    This time, I would like to ask a question about RAM. I have this laptop... HP Pavilion g6-1304sv Notebook... and I want to add some memory to my 4 GB I have already. My laptop is a RAM like this... AData 4 GB 1333 MHz PC3-10600. So my question is: do I have to add an another AData, exactly the same thing? Can I add a RAM from another manufacturer, I don't know, like the one used... MUSHKIN 4 GB DIMM DDR3 PC3-10666 1333 MHZ... ? They are basically the same, I think, I mean 1600 PC3 is like PC3 10666, right? Is there a problem here?

    I would like your opinion on the matter, thank you!

    The Mushkin from newegg for $15.99 works perfectly. The Adata and the Mushkin as you note are essentially the same and will work together.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119tx HARD drive upgrade question

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119 notebook tx. I am facing a SMART hard disk error and I need to replace it with a new hard drive. It currently has a capacity of 640 GB 5400 RPM HDD Toshiba. All I want to know is can I replace it with a 1 TB hard drive, 7200 RPM (with SATA 6.0 GB/s)? May be I have to 5400 RPM (with SATA 3.0 Gbit/s)?

    Hi kiranmanju

    After some reading on this subject, I think I'll go with MistaB.

    SSDS and hard drives are treated in the same way by the operating system, and they are easily interchangeable. So no, you shouldn't have any problems during the installation of a faster 7200 RPM drive to replace your current drive to 5400 RPM.

    There are only a few things you need to know when buying a compatible disc:
    (A) interface: the vast majority of readers is SATA, and it is what you need
    (B) 2.5 "or 3.5": the first is for laptops, the latter is for desktop computers
    (C) drive height: most of the hard drives 2.5 "are 9.5 mm, and it's what fits most laptops. Some high-capacity drives are 12.5 mm

    Other than that, the rest of the variables are related to performance.

    but I can't guarantee anything of it now. I don't really know why then the user's Guide for your product just omitted part of 7200 RPM if they do not harm anyway. I recommend that contact HP technical support for more details.

    Thank you

  • Problems with the DVD on Pavilion dv6-2010sa

    HP Pavilion dv6-2010sa laptop computer (under Windows 7 x 64), I bought less than a week ago.

    I started the disk recovery software to back up my OS in the event of future disasters.

    I used a DVD + disc, so it would take 3 discs to do the recovery disks.

    First DVD completed successfully. Software asked me to enter the disk 2.

    This is where I started to have problems.

    Drive recovery software couldn't recognize my blank dvd +.

    The drive makes a lot of noise, but then stopped making noise.

    I tried a few other DVDs +, but to no avail.

    I rebooted the computer laptop and tried but same problem.

    So I tried to play a dvd movie to see if it was the disk recovery software or the dvd player.

    He would not play a dvd movie.

    I also tried to play an audio CD but the same problem.

    The drive icon appears in Windows Explorer, but does not display any info (or open the CD / DVD) when I have a CD or a DVD in there.

    So it seems to be a problem with the DVD-> grateful not any CD / DVD

    If someone can advise?

    PS. I searched the driver DVD (so I could Reinstall driver) but the HP Web site does not contain the driver for 2010sa (DVD software only)

    Thanks in advance

    Gary

    Problem solved.

    Uninstall the device dvd player:

    -Device Manager > do a right-click post dvd/cd player > uninstall the device

    Restart the laptop and OS will reinstall the driver and the DVD/CD drive should start working again (well this is what has happened to me)

  • Pavilion dv6: 10 for Windows upgrade fails Pavilion dv6 after update and entry of password

    After updating my Pavilion dv6 Windows 7 64 - bit of Windows 10 64 - bits, the connection to the computer to update resulted in a machine stuck with white (gray) screen. The upgrade seems complete without any problems. It is only after a reboot with the machine being upgraded and after entering the password that the lock status was encountered.

    You can see if any of the suggestions in the linked thread works - but DV6 succeed well in Win10, and if none of these work, you need to consider restoring to Win7: HP Notebook PC - computer starts but the screen remains empty (10, 8 Windows) | HP® customer support

    I have a DV6 and after many hardships, restored to Win7 because I felt that an older OS where everything worked was much higher than a more recent OS where many things were "broken."
