Pavilion DV6 freezes but passes the Tests of memory and HARD drive

I have a dv6-3025dx that the POST is fine. It does not start after the screen 7 start, the recovery Partition loading bar or a Windows 7 recovery disk loading bar. The HP Vision diagnostic and a drive OEM 7 freeze as well. Start with a Ubuntu DVD displays icon on the keyboard at the bottom then nothing else than a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen. The HARD drive and memory in the BIOS Tests pass but the start-up Test, the Burn-in Test and the Test of memory in the partition the disk diagnostic all freeze immediately.

I reset BIOS, change the RAM with known working sticks and clone the HDD on a well known player and still get the same result. I had to clone the drive from a different machine, because Acronis True Image 2011 boot disk crashes after the splash screen. A 3rd party BACK base RAM and HDD tests pass with flying colors; including Windows, MemTest86 Memory Diagnostic + and video memory Stress test. Basically, I can't start any GUI environment. only of DOS or Linux command line. I'm guessing that maybe the video chip? Ideas or confirm my diagnosis?

Thank you!

You make text based OSes seem to work well. This could mean that the video card is at fault with loads greater than the bare.

However, it could also be a SATA controller flaw that does not correctly handle the load. There is really no way to test this reliable I found.

No matter whether the video controller or the controller SATA, the result is the same and that is replace the motherboard. If it was office, a SATA PCI-based controller can be purchased cheap enough to exclude it. However, this is not an option here.

It really isn't too much other material in a notebook that is involved in the boot process and most of the material is soldered to the motherboard.

I'm sorry.

    Hello:

    You must also ensure that 2 TB HARD drive has the same physical dimenstions than your current one, or it may not correspond in the Bay.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4150er upgrade complete. Issue of processor and HARD drive

    Hello. Sorry for my English. I'm from the Ukraine.

    I want to improve my HP Pavilion dv7-4150er and I need advice from experienced people.

    Now, I have:

    -8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB),

    -1 TB of HDD (5400 RPM)

    -stock video (Mobility Radeon hd 5650 graphics card) card overclocked to 700 MHz GPU and 950 MHz Vram.

    -CPU (mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-720QM, 1716 MHz) in stock

    -BIOS F.29

    2 problems:

    -Slow CPU

    -Slow HARD drive

    I want to buy a few HARD drives SSD for Windows and secondary soft and left for the data.

    Get an increase in the performance of the system?

    On the 'Intel' site, I read that my

    Intel® HM55 Express Chipset Mobile

    is compatible with the more powerful processors. LINK

    And I have a great opportunity to buy Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13 GHz)

    But the laptop manual says:

    720QM and 940xm - identical processors. The difference in 'MAX TDP' 45w/55w, 'Cache' 6 mb / 8 mb and clock speed 1.6 GHz/2.13 GHz

    The Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13) will work properly in my laptop?

    or not?

    I have read many articles on this topic, but the answer is not...

    And I can't find information on HP F.29 BIOS specification.

    How can I increase a CPU nested way (with another compatible processor) perfomance if 940xm is not compatible?

    Help me please.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hello nickiblackmore.  I understand that you are curious about the upgrade of your laptop.

    Here is a link to Guide of Service and Maintenance of your laptop.  It covers the disassembly of the laptop and can also show you how to replace parts if you upgrade the.

    If you switch to a Solid State Drive of a standard 5400 or 7200 RPM hard drive, you should see a significant performance increase.  This is because a normal hard drive spinning platters and it takes time to locate data on the trays as they are moving.  A Solid State Drive has no moving parts and therefor can locate data much more quickly.

    A CPU upgrade is a much more difficult question.  HP does not recommend that you perform this type of upgrade.  Laptops are generally designed with specific thermal and electrical needs.  If you change the CPU, it will probably create more heat and use a higher power that will cause you problems.  However, if you stick to a processor that is listed in the service (for example in your picture) Guide, you should be fine.  For example, you can choose one of the microprocessors found in the image to upgrade your laptop.  Also, keep in mind that the integral part upgrade as a CPU can affect your warranty (check your warranty here).

    If you think that answers your question be sure to mark the post as solved.  This makes it easier for others to find answers to their questions.

    Have a great day!

  • Satellite 2800-200; is it possible to upgrade the memory and HARD drive capacity

    Hi all

    my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

    Thank you

    Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
    The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
    According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
    You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

    I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.

    Good bye

  • Pavilion p6110t CTO Desktop: drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HARD drive problems

    Recently, I had the hard drive with my OS failure. After replacing the hard drive and reinstall windows server 2008, I seem to have encountered some problems with drivers.  After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that not have installed correctly. I could get the driver for the LAN port to work, but I did not get the driver to "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus controller". After a little research, I believe that the graphics card is a Radeon HD4350. With this information, I still have been unable to toinstlal the correct drivers or the other of these elements. I tried several drivers listed on the support page of the drivers on the HP website, but all fo return them the same error of not finding the right operating system. The link to the driver, I used initially on my previous installation seems is no longer valid.

    Also, I can't access two additoinal hard disks (sata connected). They were used with the previous installation of windows without any problem. They appear in the Device Manager but do not show in my computer. A removable disk appears that I don't know what it is. Previously I used the software to mirror one of the disks on the other in order to avoid the loss of data if a disk fails. Is one of the above players with not be able to access the drives causing the problem or the software used before the problem?

    Any help on these questions is greatly appreciated.

    Ok.

    I can't help you with the readers then.  It is out of my area of knowledge.  If they are healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that's all that I know these should be reported.

    As for the graphics drivers...

    Download and install this free utility for files.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    After installing 7 - zip, right-click on the graphic driver file and select 7 - zip from the list of options.

    Choose 7-zip to extract to: and leave it to unzip the file in a folder.  I have it extracted the file name of the file.

    Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.

    Of course that you you first go to where 7 - zip extract the folder and continue from there.

  • How does the predator AG3 used together the 128 GB ssd and hard drive 2 TB

    I am considering buying a predator AG3 at Costco.  It comes with a 2 TB HDD and ssd 128 b.  How the system is used both in combination?  The ssd is only for boot?  Windows will be on the SSD.  The system will know to go on the HARD disk for programs not on the SSD drive?  I have no experience using a system with two disks of a different type.

    SSD is usually used as installation of the OS and some heavy load programs (editing - audio - video)

    HARD drive is used as data storage or install programs of large size (for most games).

    System does not know where you want to install it that way, he asks during installation

    example of

    C:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ

    You can tell the installer to use instead of C: on SSD HARD drive, so you will change from C to D (if your HARD drive is D: letter of the system)

    D:\Program Files\gamenameXYZ

    Hello

    As I know some of the Toshiba LCD TVs supports binding Regaza.
    This feature allows you to control the device (laptop, LCD monitor, etc.) using only a single remote control.
    But this only works if all devices support the link Regaza.

    If one of the devices (LCD or laptop) doesn t supports the link Regaze then you will probably get an this error message.

    Of course, you can disable this feature as well.
    I m not very well, but you should check the Toshiba applications preinstalled on your laptop (Toshiba assist, etc.). In addition, you should consult your manual for more details

    1. just to be sure, check the stop code (64680447) is correct.

    2. If the stop code is correct, stop the laptop, remove the hard drive from start and try entering the code again, preferably through an external keyboard.

    ===============================
    I don't know what is causing this problem but would be
    suspicious, it is related to a corrupted or obsolete

    Expand "Graphics cards" and right click
    the name of your graphics... then

    You should find the make and model of your

    If the driver on the Web site is no longer
    current than you run...
    Download and install it. In addition, installation
