Pavilion p6-2136

Where to buy a replacement hard drive?  Must be specific to my office in particular?

Hello

A non-SATA III 7200 RPM advanced format hard drive should work. Less than 2.2 to should work without problems.    Go to NewEgg, Tiger Direct, or HP buy the hard drive.

If you have enough $$, you may want to consider a 500 GB SSD. That would give your PC a real kick in the performance.

BTW - I see that HP released the specifications of bad hard drive to the motherboard in your PC.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the problem of Catalyst Control Center and wanted to help.

    Is this an update of driver that has been installed by HP Support Assistant?

    Or (more likely) you go to AMD and download yourself?

    Because if the latter, which was a big mistake!  Laptops come with specialized equipment for which the drivers are delivered only by OEM - in this case, HP.

    What you need to do is the following:

    (1) download and run this utility AMD to remove AMD drivers you installed: utility uninstall own AMD

    2) go to this HP Product Page and download the AMD drivers and install THOSE: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC-series/5262606/model/5293908

    After that, you should be OK.

    And stay away from downloading drivers from the Internet for your laptop.

    Good luck

  • Pavilion g6 2136 tx: ram upgrade

    Hello

    My laptop has 4GB Hynix 1333 MHz.

    What are my options to increase the ram and could you recommend me.

    2 accessible/upgradable SODIMM customer locations: ● DDR3-1333 MHz Dual Channel Support (downgrade from DDR3 - 1600 MHz DDR3 - 1333 MHz) supports the following configurations up to 8 GB: ● 8192 MB total memory (4096 × 2)

    4 GB PC3 12800 1600 MHz shared 641369-001

    http://www.Amazon.com/crucial-PC3-12800-204-pin-notebook-CT51264BF160B/DP/B005LDLV6S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1455626308&SR=8-1&keywords=641369-001

    It must match the module that is already in it:

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-VH641AT-4-GB-DDR3-PC3-10600/DP/B0030L3B8E/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&QID=1455626308&SR=8-4&keywords=641369-001

    It can take memory DDR3-1600 but will downclock at 1333 speed, so you can install either DDR3-1600 and DDR3-1333 and I would install 2 of the same no matter what you choose to install. Since you have a 4 GB module, you can simply add another.

    P. 39 of the manual here illustrates the upgrade memory:

    Thank you

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p6-2136. The 'b' at the end of your model name, simply means that the computer has been undled 'b' with a monitor. According to specifications, your computer has a single 3.5 "HDD bay. In addition, it has a 5.25 "Bay ODD as well. I saw the 'How To' video guides HP and there is no alternative location in your case for mounting an additional HARD drive.

  • iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone, which has the latest operating system running

    iTunes does not recognize my iPhone on my HP Pavilion Windows 10 5s, so cannot sync the phone running. I downloaded the latest OS for the phone and the latest version of iTunes on my PC and have tried all USB ports several times. I also reinstalled drivers USB to the PC.  The phone is recognized on the computer of a friend under Win 7. All shows when I plug it on mine is a page showing the 'Apple iPhone' folder display of storage internal (2.18 GB free of 14.7 GB). Troubleshooting in devices and printers, where the phone displays as "Not specified Apple iPhone" generates a message saying that "Apple iPhone is an older USB device and may not work with USB 3.0 and plug it into a USB 2.0 port." But when I use USB 2.0 (I tried several times using each of the three USB ports on my PC), troubleshooting the error message says "Apple iPhone won't work correctly with USB 3.0." This seems to be a recent problem, since in March 2016, I could spend a few songs from my PC to my phone using iTunes.

    I wish I had some ideas of people who have experienced this problem, I find to be a more frustrating one.

    Well, you aren't the only one. This just freakin happened to me. I spent the last three hours with apple and Windows supports. Now I'm reinstalling Windows 10 by last resort of Windows support councils. I got the same message USB. In iTunes, under devices something removed my 5s and the iPad. But it remains 6 s wife. I tried my computers 2-(SS) 3.0 ports and 1 port 2.0 ordinary. I tried all four thinners cables I have. I will let you know the result of the Windows reinstall.

  • HP Pavilion dv7: unable to connect to the Internet

    Other computer and android phone can access the wireless. When I click on the wireless icon, I see different networks, including mine. However, it is said, "No Internet, secure." I ran a diagnosis, saying that the wireless network adapter and the wired network adapter does not work. I tried to update the drivers, but to no avail.

    I remove this update. I have HP Pavilion dv7, produces none. QJ799AV #ABA. It seems that there are no drivers for Windows 10.

  • Pavilion dv8: problem with Pavilion dv8 (treble/bass control) Windows 10

    I had my Pavilion dv8 for awhile.  I started having problems with the slider treble/bass control. He would sporadically pop-up and begin to change the treble or bass at irregular intervals. He also unplug randomly my wireless connection. I tried to solve the problem by downloading a driver, but the problem remains. At first, it was just a little annoying, fixed by clicking the mouse or pressing the upper button of the internet, but now it of REALLY boring, popping up even as I write this post. But there is no driver for Windows 10. Someone at - it solutions?

  • HP Pavilion - 15-ab045sa: a few gestures of precision Touchpad not working not

    Hello

    I'm new to the forum, so I hope I posted in the right place.

    My product: HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab045sa (ENERGY STAR)

    I have all the gestures of touchpad usual work (three stroke of finger etc).  However, the recent to THE introduced a new gesture to switch virtual desktops. I was really looking forward to this update, but this gesture does not work! I tried to reinstall the update with erase everything and it still does not work!

    I don't understand why it does not work as I have a touchpad of accuracy and all other gestures of work except this new! Also even if some gestures of work (for example three finger swipe), I don't think that win 10 recognizes the touchpad of precision like under settings of the mouse and Trackpad, what it does not say that I have a touchpad of precision and so does me no options to change what are the gestures, as it should.

    I have the Synaptics TouchPad of SMBus 19.2.11.38 driver (21/07/2016).

    Would really appreciate your help as I was really looking forward to the new gesture switch virtual desktops.

    Thank you.

    Just got an update via windows update Synaptics update to version 19.3.11.37 - it finally allowed me to have the film 4 finger to switch virtual desktops!

  • Pavilion 500-336: updated drivers audio HP Pavilion 500-336

    Looking at the Device Manager, I see that the driver date is 07/11/2013.  Where can I find the updated drivers for this?

    The version of the driver I have right now is 6.10.6496.0

    Is there still a good reason do not update the audio drivers?

    Hello:

    The audio works fine now?

    If so, I would not update the driver.  Many problems with W10 and IDT audio.

    There is an audio driver IDT W10 on your PC support page if the Beats Audio doesn't work properly or not at all.

  • Pavilion AMD A8-6500: graphic upgrade

    Hi all

    My son has a HP Pavilion AMD A8-6500 with Radeon HD 3.50 ghz graphics card.

    It now wants to update as graphic says not good enough.

    What our options are, what is implementing implement as buying a better graphics card or is it more complicated?

    see you soon

    Jason

    Hi there @Jason1966,

    That the Forums are with you!  I understand that you are looking for advice on upgrading a graphics card.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    Please report the number of complete product from your computer. Check out the following, if you need assistance with this information. HP desktop PC - how can I find my model number, serial number or product?  Once I got that I can give you more in the way of what to look for.

    In general, you should know what types of expansion slots your computer is available. More recent graphics cards will focus you on PCI Express x 16 slots and their willingness to be a version or the generation of these slots.  If the motherboard has only Gen 1.0, and the graphics card is Gen 3.0, then the card would work, but it will run more slowly he would in a slot of Gen 3.0. So you want to look at the capacity of your computer's power supply. A common value is 300 W. Higher end graphics cards will be a requirement of minimum recommended power of 400 W or more, although there are cards with a lower requirement. It is always better to have a power that exceeds the minimum value. Also related to food some graphics cards require extra power of a specific type connections. You must make sure that your diet has these connections available. Then, make sure that the card has drivers for the operating system installed on your computer, and if the card is UEFI, make sure that your system has UEFI.

    If all these parameters are filled between your system and the card, the graphics card should work, but there is never a guarantee, because each computer system is as an individual, once it's in the hands of a user. You may have already installed another device that is in conflict with this card or perhaps a software which does not get her drivers graphics. So long story short, it is not easier to just buy a better card, you need to do some research.

    I hope this helps clarify the issues for you and if you find it helpful and useful, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.
