  PS sory for my English.

  Dan or one of the others may be able to help if you post exactly what indicates the error.

  As you say you are not a noob so maybe you need to change something in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Maybe go to the advanced option when you're at NVIDIA.

  Personally when I clean installs I delete, and format the entire disk before installing W7. Doing it this way usually prevents this kind of error occurs. When you use the W7 install disk to format, it may not remove all of the old files registry Vista and can cause problems.

  If you start from scratch once again, this may solve your problem, but there is no guarantee.

  It took 4 tries on my HDX from Vista to W7 to do things.

  I just took a glance at my NVIDIA advanced and under Show options there is an option to "manage custom resolutions. Here I could input what I wanted. What's your has that?

• HP Pavilion DV6500: upgrading the BIOS on HP DV6500 w/Win7-64

  HP Pavilion DV6500

  Service etiquette: dv6607rs

  Memory: 2 GB to 4 GB upgrade

  Operating system: Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

  HD: upgrading to the new Toshiba 1 TB HDD - MQ01ABD100

  OLD HD: Western Digital WD1600BEVS - 60RST0

  CPU: upgrading to AMD Turion64 X 2 TL-66, 2.3 GHz

  OLD CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X 2 TK - 55 1.8 GHz

  Motherboard model: Quanta 30CF

  Motherboard Chipset: nVidia nForce 630M (C67)

  BIOS: Phoenix HP, 23/07/2007, F.06

  Had this laptop for free because he was constantly overheating and blue screening and the keyboard didn't work. Bought the new keyboard and fixed overheating by a cleaning in depth and the new thermal paste to the heat sink. Then, I decided to update as much as I can and use it to make music.

  The BIOS are very old, F.06. I was told that I should update the BIOS, because the most recent BIOS also included fixes for overheating, among other things. Unfortunately, I was told also that you need the operating system is Vista or BIOS update program "brick" laptop.

  I got what I thought, it was the ingenious idea to use my old hard drive, install Vista on it (came to me with Win7 too), update the BIOS, and then replace the new HDD with Win7 in. Trying to install Vista on my old hard drive, the installation routine says impossible to find the hard drive, and I need to install drivers to "see" the hard drive.

  I don't know exactly what I need. I tried several AMD AHCI drivers, but I have not found the good, or I need somethng totally different AMD AHCI drivers.

  I guess I have two questions.

  1. is it possible to update of the BIOS under Win7, without having to try to do it on another hard drive with Vista?

  2. If Vista will be used, what exactly I need / have to do to get Vista to recognize my original hard drive?

  (Hard drive model D'origina listed at the beginning of post)

  I want to emphasize that although I have not used the laptop much since I upgraded the CPU, everything seems to work well. I'm just worried that I may have still some problems of overheating, especially since the most recent processor can generate a little more heat than the original (35 watts instead of 31 watts).

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Kind regards

  Bill

  Ok. I'm done.

  The hard drive was not recognized because I did something stupid. When I got the new drive and put the old man back, I forgot to transfer adapter plastic little new hard drive to the former. The pins on the old drive never made contact when I put it back in the system.

  Once I realized my mistake, I could format the old drive, put Vista on it, Flash the BIOS to the most recent/last version and then replace the old drive to the new drive with Win7-64 on it. Piece of cake.

  Now, I did almost everything possible to restore and modernize this computer:

  • Faster CPU support
  • Max RAM
  • Battery high capacity
  • New, 1 TB hard drive (with the pin adapter back on!)
  • Replaced the optical drive non-working
  • Replace the non-functional keyboard
  • BIOS flashed
  • Replace hard drive broken plastic cover
  • Replaced the knob cracked and melted
  • Win7-64
  • Clean the vents, fan, radiator, new thermal paste

  Everything seems to work OK so far. Let's see if the overheating problem that caused my ex-wife (the killer of computer) to throw this laptop comes back, or if it is fixed for good. Thanks to those who replied with their answers to help me.

Now that I've learned, I can get Windows 10 free on it. Launch day came and the app get Windows 10 indicates the graphics card is not compatible because NVidia has not done yet. I checked the NVidia website and they said to come to support OEM site. HP support site has not updated drivers. Y at - it somewhere that I can get the proper drivers if they exist?

• Update Windows to Pavilion dv6500

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 laptop since 2007. It has a slow hard drive and a horrible MS Vista. In order to bring in the 21st century, I replaced the hard drive with a Seagate Momentus XT and was trying to install Windows 8. I have version 8.1 and got stuck in the first stage. I run the installer from a USB key.

  The installation program recognizes the hard drive, I can create particition and format as usual, but when I click Next I get the error "we cannot create a new partition or locate an existing one. I tried to delete the key USB as suggested on many sites, but then I get the "windows can not the selected location. "Error: 0 x 80300001" message. Yet once, I was on google on this read error and found references to ACHI and SMART setting in BIOS that this computer does not.

  I'm trying to do something that's never going to work? Is this a hardware problem, I'll never be able to solve? What version of Windows, can I install on this other than Vista laptop?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  With a laptop of 2007 which you will probably have questions when you try to install Windows 8.  Your laptop is almost seven years old.  You're in a place where to invest $$ or Euros into it is a losing proposition.  Consider upgrading your laptop new or at least newer.

  You may have trouble finding drivers for the hardware built into the chipset on the motherboard of the laptop.

  You would be better of installing Windows 7 in your book. There is a long tutorial here in the forum that explains how. I edit this message and provide a link to where you can find it.

  Here is the link to the guide general Windows 7 Upgrade for HP laptops. Go to the end of the wire (page 19) to find the tutorial section.

• My HP Pavilion dv6500 does not charge

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 and I put the battery but do not charge, puts connected for free and give me the options to make it load, last night I remove and replace the battery and the problem solved and he came again, thank you very much.

  Hi coreysucorey, I'm trying to understand your question.

  From your post, it seems that your battery is not charging. You have tried to remove and reinsert the battery, but it still does it not hold a charge. Is this correct?

  If so, its most likely that your battery can't hold a charge and must be replaced. If the unit is under warranty, I would suggest filing a claim. If this is not the case, the replacement batteries can be purchased separately. Please let me know if you need assistance identifying a replacement part.

• Death Pavilion dv6500

  I have a Pavilion dv6500 about 21 months which caused problems. He lost the time settings it is so a new CMOS battery was added. The battery charger is now solely for ballast and lasts only a few minutes of full charge. The last thing is that he just died in the Middle being used - plugged into the mains. A hard reboot does nothing.

  Now when you press the power button it gives 1 long beep followed by 2 short then nothing. I removed and juggled with the memory modules in the slots and still the same. There is no image on the screen. Pressing F2 results in a series of short beeps.

  Is this a candidate for the waste bin?

  Hi KCBrecks

  This problem is not related to your memory modules.

  One long beep followed of two short beeps indicates a video error and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to view additional information.

  You may need to replace the motherboard to solve this problem, since the faulty GPU is embedded. Purchase of a new Board of Directors of HP is useless and a waste of money because they will just sell you the defective part again and it will last a little over a year if you're lucky.

  I suggest that you place your PC somewhere just in case HP decides to do an encore.

Phase of the upgrade compatibility objected to the pilot of buttons to quick launch, but after several updates to the driver (Device Manager show is now the 4.20.9.00 version), the Win 7 Upgrade software seems to have accepted the it. Now, upgrade keeps the process were reluctant about the "Keyboard Filter" driver.

  There are two types of notifications of compatibility in the compatibility check update Win7 - "HardBlock" and "SoftBlock".

  "HardBlock" - SW MUST be uninstalled before upgrade can continue (or actions that must be taken-as a reboot in some cases). The only option is to cancel the upgrade and take the necessary measures

  "SoftBlock" - SW which might have problems after upgrading and which could be recommended to uninstall. You can continue the upgrade process, even if you have these notifications without no action (the report will be placed on the desktop for once you have upgraded to Win7 you can always use it as a reference for other actions that you might want to take if necessary)

  The "Keyboard Filter" notification is a "SoftBlock" - you can continue the update even if you get this message. In the specific case of the "keyboard" filter (i.e. the pilot button quick launch) - he will be in fact automatically deleted during the upgrade process.

  Once your Win7 upgrade has completed, you can reinstall the quick launch buttons driver.

• Pavilion dv6500: cannot reset to factory default.

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 notebook PC and after that I installed Ubuntu on this subject, he failed and crushed my recovery partition to use Ubuntu recovery and not HP Recovery. I have 2 recovery disks, but can not find 1. I checked on the HP site, but they do not have recovery kits available for purchase. So, in conclusion, I can't use my recovery partition or my discs and HP provides all the kits. Is that what I can do at this rate? I am currently looking for my drive restore but not sure I will find it.

  Also, I can't make a clean Vista installation as the COA sticker is unreadable. I would like to use the HP recovery and not on a clean install of vista so my recovery partition will reset wth HP recovery for the next time.

  Good news! I have found the lost disk and I am currently formatting. Thank you for your help. I will not fail to let you know if I have other problems!

• HP Pavilion g6-2240sh replacing the fan

  IN BRIEF: Broken fan. A lot of noise. Hard to find part. Not made in the United Kingdom (where I live). Found supposed HP part dealer (http://uk.eetgroup.com/i/680551-001-HP-HS-FAN), do not know if its exactly the part I need. Confirm?

  If the fan on my laptop has started to make a lot of noise, to the point that even the laptop significantly sometimes vibrates. I am 100%, this is a problem of fan because I get messages that fan sometimes does not start on boot-up the top if I receive a message from the bios (click on the laptop around the exhaust Wizz it and thus he begins his work, for now). Its summer so to get a little more frequent recently. I just had this problem for a few days, closing of a week at the time of this announcement.

  I'm looking to get a spare part for the fan and replace it myself. I've never opened a laptop before, but I have a PC, a couple of times (sort of, dismantled my PC at home, updated several times, fixed things, replaced, etc. etc.). I found the service manual for my exact model and I am in contact with the person I got the laptop.

  I googled 'g6-2240sh of HP Pavilion fan' but has a lot of sites offering "HP pavilion g6-2240sh replacement fan" with no exact fan model, which is what I expected or you are looking for. So can someone tell me what it is? I was not able to find it and I don't know where is the best place to go (to the United Kingdom, I'm at Sunderland, so better order online I presume).

  P. S.

  Now, first of all, I can guarantee. 1 year international. I got in touch with HP about this, on the line to support UK. Due to my situation (student), I am quite dependent on my laptop. Unfortunately, I bought the laptop at home in Bulgaria. Then they told me that I had to their message and I more likely, logically, would have to send again, they could send somewhere else and who knows how long this may take. I know that HP has some policies on how long it may take, but my country is also, and those specific for electronics so... I found myself asked the guarantee out of the question.
  (Note: I don't know about auto repair Kits customer or whatever they were called, but after contacting the Bulgarian support line, waiting more than 10 minutes and spend a fortune on the call I left it).

  If at the end because of the time (and also a little financial forces is not able to communicate properly support at home (maybe I have to wait like an hour, but who live)) I resigned to fix myself.

  If all of the information that I could use?
  Something I am missing to tell?
  Is something not clear (his end at this time of writing, so sorry for the mistakes or difficult to understand parts)?

  Just mainly, I don't know which exact to get fan and hence, do not know what to look for on ebay/amazon/whatever.
