Pavilion DV8000 upgrade CPU, RAM, HD & OS

Hello world

I have a HP Pavilion Dv8000 (Dv8336ea is the exact model number).  I intend to upgrade the processor, RAM, hard drive and OS and have a few questions about the limits of upgrade on this computer.

He is currently running XP pro, but I intend to upgrade the operating system to Windows 7 64-bit, if I can find an upgrade of the CPU 64 bit appropriate.

The vehicle currently has an Intel centrino Duo CPU T2300, but I'm not sure which processors are compatible. y at - it an easy way to identify compatibility? I know that it can be removed, but what would be an upgrade recommended for optimal performance?

Is there a limit to the size of the hard drive, can I install it? He had a hard duel disks. Is there a problem with the installation of a hard drive 7200 RPM? It's the BIOS that limits the size of the hard drive that can be installed?

Finally, what would be the limit for RAM after CPU and operating system upgraded. What defines the limits of the RAM in a computer?

Help with any or all of these Q greatly appreciated!



Hello:

The GeForce Go 7600 is a graphic adapter Windows 7 and should be able to run all the pleasure of the eyes in Windows 7 and have the same resolution that you had in XP.

Try the latest nVidia driver released for it.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_179.48_beta.html

I see that you have a wide screen monitor... According to the resolution of your screen, with the appropriate driver, he should be able to get 1440 x 900.  That should give you the view you've been waiting for.

3 GB of memory can be used with a 4 GB max RAM capacity is perfectly normal, even with a 64 bit OS. You need the chipset Intel 965 for the 64-bit OS in order to 'see' all 4 GB of memory. You have the 945 chipset.

  • Pavilion DV7 Upgrade CPU

    I have a PC entertainment DV7 Dv7 (2273cl). Recently, I had to change the motherboard and learned how to make so that I might also be able to upgrade the processor. Looking in the maintenance manual, authorized processors include a CPU that I bought on Ebay (Q9100). The Q9100 both my original T6600 CPU are all two registered in the maintenance manual, so I think the Q9100 would work in my computer.

    I installed the new processor and it fit perfectly. But once I had everything back together, the computer would start up, but I would get blink codes by the capslock and above the number pad of a single wink separated by 3 seconds, which, looking around, seems to be that the CPU does not code.

    So is there a way to get this CPU to work? It's a quad core vs a dual core. Do I need to Flash the bios to a higher version prior to make it work? Startup will not go far enough to bring me to any type of screen or anything that would allow me to get this working.

    Of course, I'd like to upgrade one dual core to a quad core.

    Any help would be most appreciated. When I went back to my old processor, I couldn't start the computer and had to take it apart and put it all together again to make it work, so I don't want to tinker around too much in the computer, I do not have a route safe to go ahead with.

    Thank you

    In addition, I have discovered how to find my current BIOS version which is the following:

    F.46 25/08/2011

    Thank you

    If this is the case I would avoid upgrading CPU completely... too much chance of bricking it.

  • HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-b005ea upgraded CPU + ram + hard drive

    HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-b005ea on Windows 8 (64-bit)

    I want to upgrade my sleekbook processor an i3 to an i5, I also would like to upgrade this laptop computers hdd + ssd cache to an ssd of 256 GB full so that increase the ram of 4 GB to 8 GB. can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    CPU:

    More quick possible:

    Intel Core i5-3317U (1.7 GHz, turbo up to 2.6 GHz 1 600 MHz/3 MB L3 cache, dual core, 17 W)

    You have:

    Intel Core i3-3217U (1.8 GHz, 1 600 MHz / 3 MB L3 cache, dual core, 17 W)

    The i3 you have is actually faster for most purposes than the i5, although the i5 has Turbo. I would not bother with this upgrade. It is the most difficult and expensive. The processor seems to be welded on so it would take a whole new motherboard, I'm sorry to say. At least try upgrading memory and SSD before committing to try upgrading the processor.

    Memory and hard drive:

    You can install up to 8 GB of RAM and you can install a reader mSATA. However, the memory and the mSATA drive slot are on the back side of motherboard and not easy to do. See Page 59 and transfer to the manual. In general, this model does not have an update very easily. You can replace the hard drive on a regular basis with an SSD without having to remove the motherboard, but it is still much harder than the mobile way. See pages 47-49.

  • Tecra S3: hardware upgrade - CPU, RAM, HARD drive

    Hello

    I just got a laptop from my company and it's 2 a bit slow for what I do, so please advise me on a hardware upgrade or point me in the right direction to ask this question.

    My Tecra is S3 model PTS30E - 01P01CG3 Y5120397H series, it is about three years old and I would like to upgrade:

    1 - CPU Intel Pentium M1.86 gHz, I can replace it with a dual core or core 2 duo of?
    The motherboard does it take? What is the most powerful CPU it can use?

    2-ram memory is 1 GB and I want to place as much as possible. 2 GB is the best that I can place?
    Can you recommend a brand of RAM which would give exceptional results?

    3-disk HARD 80 GB comes, and I also want to know if I can replace it with a bigger?
    Than do options GB 120 GB, 160 GB, I have more? These HDD fit as the size in my laptop?

    4-If you have any other recommendation of dope performance, please let me know.

    I live in Romania, I'm not sure where can I make these upgrades. What is the nearest place?

    Thank you and have a nice day.
    Florin.

    Hello Florin

    Tecra S3 is old enough laptop model, and expect too much with upgrades, especially with the CPU. Of way General CPU cannot be upgraded and perhaps should not be upgraded. Each laptop model has a specific design and cooling modules are optimized for the specific hardware platform.

    1. so, for you it is important to have the laptop stable without damaging the hardware. Okay, just for the record
    Tecra S3 comes with separate Intel Mobile Pentium-M processors - [1.73GHz/1.86GHz/2.0AGHz (0.748-1.356V)/2.13GHz (0, 748 - 1.372V))]
    [/ 2.26 GHz (0, 748 - 1.404V)] and these processors operate at 533 MHz bus clock.
    Update CPU not is also not supported if forget it. The CPU you have inside is powerful enough. What you need is more RAM and perfectly configured and optimized operating system.

    2 RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB and it is not the problem. You can use 2 x 1 GB RAM DDR2-400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G).
    This RAM is tested and works perfectly with your Tecra S3 of will be.

    3 disk HARD upgrade is also not problematic. Tecra S3 uses SATA HDD and you can improve it with more than 120 GB. I'm 100% sure that you can use 160 GB with no problems.
    In my opinion, that's good enough. Isn t it? ;)

    4. optimize the operating system. Disable all unnecessary background processes and your Tecra will be working perfectly.

    >.. .i don't know where I can make these upgrades.
    Do it alone. It is not so complicated. If you need help let us know.
    Good bye

    You need your memory problem.  See the response I posted on your other thread.

    You won't even have a CPU upgrade.  Run Windows resource monitor in the background and then start the game for about 5 minutes. Now, put yourself in the resource monitor and click the CPU tab and look at the history.  How many processors are used and what percentage microcopies (busy) for each processor?

  • HP Pavilion dv8000 upgrade to 8.1 Win

    The laptop is supposed to have a 64-bit processor.  I tried to upgrade to 8.0 Win to Win 8.1but I get the message that I can not upgrade because my processor is not able to upgrade because of something lacking in the CPU as NX or free SES.

    HP, somehow forgot to inform the owners or the customer of this defect.  In the hope of not having a problem, I lost my previous operating system, Windows XP Pro.  It's not even an audio driver for Win 8.0.  Very disappointed and considering the abandonment of HP.

    Once again, the age of this model and the installed hardware, Windows 8.1 is not compatible. Windows Vista 32-bit is supported by HP, as they provided drivers. Windows 7 32 bits may be compatible with the 32-bit Vista drivers at the address provided. Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 32-bit and 64-bit 8 may be partially compatible with the drivers provided natively and via Windows update.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    I would like to get a faster processor and more memory in this old laptop without spending too much $$. It says that I have

    Processor: Genuine Intel(r) CPU T2050 @ 1.60 GHz (2 CPUs)
    Memory: 1022 MB of RAM and I am running XP Pro

    I would like to put it on Win 7, after I get a new memory and a new processor.

    What CPU can I put here, and even for memory, and it is very difficult, or even really not very profitable? I did it on the mainframes of old office, but never in a laptop. Can I even swap on a USB 2 and get a USB 3?
