Problems upgrading RAM on Pavilion DV7 Notebook PC
I know that it is an old machine, but still good.
I have the original 4 Mb RAM installed and trying to update this to 8 MB.
I installed a single module of 8Gb, DDR3 PC3-12800, which seems to be supported according to the carrier material online for this machine. I see that this RAM is seen in the system BIOS and memory test BIOS passes; However, when I boot to Windows, I get a blue screen that provides actionable information... just a hexadecimal error code.
I tried the SIM in the two RAM slots with the same effect.
The RAM I am using is a new module from PNY PC3-12800, spec'd to work in 1066 and 1333 and 1600 MHz and a 1.5V SIM.
Please help if possible...
Thank you
Hello
The book says:
2 the customer-accessible/extendable SODIMM slots
Memory DDR3, 1 333 MHz
Support dual channel supports up to 8 GB of RAM in the following configurations
● system memory total of 8192 MB (4096 MB × 2, both channels)
Memory ● 6144 MB (2048 MB × 1 + 4096 MB × 1) total system
Memory ● system total of 4096 MB (2048 MB x 2, dual-channel)
● 3072 MB total system memory (2048 MB × 1 + 1024Mo × 1)
2048 MB total ● system memory (1024Mo × 2, both channels)
2048 MB total (2048 MB × 1) ● system memory
Now you put 8 GB in a slot then it's not going to work. You have to put 2 x 4 GB. You can use 1.5V, on this machine, 1.5V RAM will use a bit more power and more hot, that's all.
Kind regards.

Maximum RAM on Pavilion DV7 Notebook PC
Hello
I have a Pavilion dv7, QF272EA #ABD with 8 GB of RAM installed. Is it possible to increase the RAM 16 GB - what RAM Modules should I then? On official documents the maximum RAM is 8 GB, but at the time, documents were made, no 8 GB Modules were available.
The BIOS supports 8 GB Modules? The laptop has two slots, so my hope is, if I replace the built in 2 x 4 GB with 2x8GB, I have 16 GB of RAM.
For what I need it? Different virtual machines at the same time for running the job. :-)
I'm sorry for my bad English. Thanks for your help!
Thorsten
Hi, Thorsten:
Your English is very good.
Since your computer laptop is the Intel processor, you can install 2 x 8 GB of memory.
You need PC3-10600 memory laptop. Make sure that it is 10600, not 10660 or 10666.
See the manual at the link below, Chapter 1, page 6, for the info of memory.
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02842278.PDF
Now, several manufacturers of memory have produced memory 8 GB PC1333.

Radeon AMD in Pavilion dv7 notebook driver problem
I have a pavilion dv7 notebook and for a few months, I had problems with my graphics driver.
It began with a notice that my license was expired, so I went on the AMD website and tried to install the update. I ran dxdiag to find tool that I use an AMD Radeon HD 6620 G graphics card. I could not find my product on the list to manually install the update, so I tried the Downloader tool from amd driver and he had a problem of recognition of my graphics card. I then tried to update with the help of Support HP and that seemed to work for a while.
Yesterday my screen changed the lowest resolution and a notice came it was not recognizing my graphics driver. Yet once, I tried to update manually from the AMD Web site. When this does not work I downloaded the driver AMD Downloader and after installing everything he said is that "your computer does not contain a correct graphics card" and closed the program.
I am lost at this point uterally, and any help would be greatly apreciated.
WARNING *.
This is NOT official HP customer service and I, like most other people on this forum do not work for HP. It is a forum for users of peer-to-peer supported for class for the HP consumer products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum and it is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. Response of an employee of HP represents his own opinion and not that of HP.
AMD does not support the graphics system from HP to address personalized and won't provide any drivers for it. As a general rule, HP does not provide "routine maintenance" updates and usually only releases updates to fix known problems. You could take the computer to a professional, however they will be able to do anything more than I suggested and maybe even not so much than that.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
Product number: B1W89EA #ABU
Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit
I have made no recent changes.
Problem:
Everything by typing the caret keeps jumping to the top of the screen so that the text I'm in the mid typing eventually disappear to a random position longer than the top of the page, I already typed in the middle of the text.
For a few weeks, I assumed that it was just me slipping, as I only started using the shortcut ctrl + arrow keys to scroll the text easier. However, I am becoming very sure that this is not the case because it happens to average flow by typing quite normal (i.e. not involving not the arrow keys at all!).
I didn't have this laptop last summer, but I'm a finalist uni and REALLY rely on my laptop. I type a lot, and it's really annoying and inconvenient
Hello NerdWhale. I understand that you are having problems with your keyboard.
You should try to remove the keyboard and reset the laptop hard driver. This will force the material in order to be reset. Try the following.
- Click Start, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
- Expand the section of keyboards.
- Right-click on each device and select uninstall.
- Shut down the laptop.
- Remove the battery and AC power.
- Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
- Replace the battery and AC power.
- Start Notepad and allow Windows to reinstall the drivers.
- Check whether the problem is resolved and post the result.
I'll keep an eye out for your answer. Have a great day!

Hello
If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7. Download the ISO relevant among the links below.
You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here. One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu. Insert the rescue CD. Select boot options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.
When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt. When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.
Bootrec.exe
bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
Boot CD
BCD attrib s h - r
Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
Bootrec /RebuildBcd
Bootrec /fixmbr
Bootrec /fixboot
Remove the rescue CD and try to restart the laptop.

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC does not play video streaming
Hi-
I have a brand new HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC, Intel (r) Core i7-2630QM CPU, 8 GB, Windows 7 Home Premium operating system, Service Pack 1 64-bit. Beats audio, Radeon graphics card
It does not play Netflix streaming - the screen is dark, even though the video seems to play, and there is no sound.
It does not play videos YouTube - video playback but the sound is off. It goes the same for Megavideo and other streaming services.
On the other hand, he plays the music very well on the native Windows Media Player. I have not tried video on my laptop.
I make me quite frustrated and don't know what to do. Does anyone have an idea if this is a problem of HP, beats, or Windows 7 (or a combination of all three)?
At this point, I am considering doing a restore of the entire system and starting from scratch. Any help is appreciated.
Eihalcon, welcome to the forum.
It seems that you have not installed Adobe Flash Player . At least, I suggest to start with that as a possible solution.
Please let us know if this solved your problem or not.

No sound on HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
I have a HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit Service Pack 1. I have NO sound what so ever! Nothing bings, pings, ringing when I get by e-mail, turn on or off, are updated, errors etc. I can't play music by the window / iTunes, I don't hear any sound on the videos (which also take FOREVER to play... almost as if they are buffering indefinitely). I just tried, made sure nothing is on mute, passed through the control panel and tried to change the sounds. I even tried to make a forum put in place and will parade a test tone when it is in the sound, but I get an error message that says "error!" Unable to play the test tone.
I recently installed a scanner cared (about 2 weeks ago), but honestly don't remember if I had sound for a while before that. Yesterday, I installed a new program from Nikon for a new camera, I got. We have also reinstalled Trend Micro last Friday and have performed a thorough analysis.
Help?
