• HP 15 laptop computer omen: Question of graphics - freeze/lock

  I have problems with my graphics I think. I don't know if this is a hardware or a software issue, however.

  Symptom: When I start a game the computer crashes and there's a hum. The sound almost sounds like it comes from the material rather than the sound. Although this doesn't happen every time. CTRL-ALT-DEL does not work when this happens. By pushing the button window does not work. The only way to get out the gel is hard boot the PC. This happened there as well after a game about 3 weeks session. I restored the computer to factory default and it worked fine until the 10/30/15. I would say the 1st time it happened was on 01/10/15. So a month elapsed before this happens again. Both times it happened after a long gaming session. I closed my laptop, went to another House and then when I tried to play again that this freezing/hum which is spent. This time I was unable to solve the problem.

  I play the games or you have tried: Hearthstone, WOW, heroes of the storm, Starcraft II and Diablo III, Skyrim. All seem to have this problem now.

  Things I've done.

  Restored PC to factory default. (Windows updates, installed updates HP installed, updated graphics card)

  Uninstalled and reinstalled graphics card

  Restore PC to factory default (Windows updates installed, graphics card updates) - I remember when I first bought the PC. I installed HP updates through HP support Manager. It messed up the graphics. I have restored and it has worked well up until the 10/01/15. So I thought that maybe I messed up it by doing this. What is interesting is now after I restored my PC for the third time. HP can't find no updates. Maybe they stayed settled now?

  Graphics card runs at 70 C (used Unigine & Unigine Valley) Ran this several times with no problem. This blows my mind. Why would this work but not games.

  Peformance HP advisor no longer works. I uninstalled it and re-installed. Seems to be the slightest error out when he's looking for the graphics card.

  To be honest. It seems to deteriorate, and even worse plus I have restore and try the different troubleshooting steps. Nothing is really make sense logically here. I have difficulty computers for a living but seriously this thing gives me a hell of a time.

  I'm kind similarly not sure what more can be done.

  It seems that the Nvidia GTX860M is having issues. When I right click and go to the Nvidia Control Panel. There is not much information at this location, as it used to be. The only option I have is 3D settings. It even after the Nations United-stable and re - install.

  Any thoughts on where I should go with this? This PC is still under warranty and I year 3 help plan. Thanks in advance. I'm happy to give you any additional information. This thing is just blow my mind! Thank you!

  After tons and tons of troubleshooting I finally thought to it. I was on the phone with HP when I thought about it. They kept transfer me back and forth between the Department of hardware and software. They have not really help a lot.

  Just in case anyone else has this same problem.

  Laptop HP Omen 15 - Windows 8.1

  Symptom: Chart question - freezing/locking up when you play ANY game and when you launch HP performance Advisor.

  Solution: Uninstall Nvidia Graphics Card and Nvidia Ge Force experience. Also everything that said Nvidia in your Add/Remove Programs Control Panel.

  Go to HP and download the Nvidia graphic card on there website to your PC. Do NOT install the driver of Nvidia graphics from the site Web of Nvidia card.

  NVIDIA is currently on 352 or something like that. I downloaded 348 or anything that was on the HP website. Everything works find now. NVIDIA has missed something there put the driver.

  Of NVIDIA Geforce experience will NOT work. What is the best so good solution? Playing games or using the Geforce experience.

  Hope this helps anyone who runs into this problem.

• Laptop computer Build Questions

  Hi all

  I am replacing my old desktop and laptop with a new computer laptop is better than both. I'm a film student and I prefer to do my editing at home rather than the school so the editing capabilities are a must. I own the CS5.5 Production and I would build my laptop to match. I decided on an Alienware because they are the only ones who provide Nvidia cards in your laptop and provide a nice outside at a fairly reasonable price, and I am deciding between the M14x and the M17x. My main issue has to do with a video card - cheaper laptops come with a card Geforce GT555M with 1.5 GB memory DDR3 or 3 GB of DDR3 memory. Laptops the end superior have a Geforce GTX560M or GTX580M with DDR5. These higher end video cards enable the GPU acceleration? If not, is the update for laptop DDR5 more expensive?

  The expandable memory is also in question. What is the performance difference between 8GB and 16GB? It is better to buy the more expensive laptop for the ability to upgrade to 16 GB only?

  Finally, adding a port for external storage eSATA will make a big difference? I prefer to keep my external storage so I can move it to the school when I have to, and because I won't be able to get the kind of edition requiring storage in your laptop without losing another feature I want as an optical drive or portability.

  I'd rather with the cheaper, lighter, smaller M14x hardware differences do not make a huge difference. If they are, then I'll know what I need to do. Of course, everything would be much easier if the editing applications would support ATI cards. Thanks in advance for your help.

  I'm sure you already know very well that the video editing on a laptop has compromised, so the goal is to get the best combination of features and specifications. given your budget and tolerance to the weight and size.

  Concerning the GPU, the GTX 460 M and 560 M would have been working well, and while the most powerful graphics cards GTX great sound they are more difficult to cool and would probably be not as robust for video editing. Preferred DDR5.

  Regarding the CPU, you did not, but be sure to choose a quad-core 32nm processor. Even the slowest versions work well enough and will save a lot compared to the fastest CPU models in this series.

  About the RAM, go with 16 GB of a sudden course if you care about the speed of rendering (i.e. burned a DVD or Blu - ray). You can squeak by with 8 GB, but with prices of RAM today I have not suggested it.

  About eSata, I REALLY like it for laptop. Fast and very reliable. USB 3.0 would be a second choice and firewire 800, a distant third. USB 2.0 is just about the only useful to back up files on a bench of video editing.

  About the brand Sager is the first choice around this forum for mobile phones of mid-range ($ 1500 to $ 2500) and high prices ($2500 and more). Asus and MSI have offers that are more affordable, but have no eSata ports.

  Laptops multi pins are great. Some great Sager takes up to 3 hard drives! The ultimate video editing might be a start (about 120GB) SSD + matrix RAID 0 with two drives of 500 GB or 750 GB at 7200 RPM. If you go with a smaller form factor that can not hold so many readers, mini G-RAID of Hitachi is a little quick, very nice RAID 0 2.5 "disk solution talking eSata, firewire and USB (2.0 only); only downside is that you need to plug it into a wall outlet if you use eSATA.

  Finally, don't forget to watch the screen, not only the screen size resolution. Personally, I want to 1980 x 1080 or better, if I just changed on a laptop screen alone much at all.

• I put my laptop computer gateway Hibernate about 1 hour ago. Now I can't get the rest up. What should I do? I tried turning, then on it. It starts, and then it goes back to LEEP.

  It is a computer laptop gateway with turion x 2

  Try a system restore to a point BEFORE this problem started to occur.  Here's how: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If this does not work, try an earlier point or two.

  If this does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc or your recovery disk. Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do the CD drive first in the boot sequence.  It was boot the PC and wait for the screen where it shows the F key to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the change, save your work and exit.  Insert the CD into the drive and restart.  When you are prompted, press a key to start the PC.

  If you don't have a floppy, you can make a recovery disk to http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ using a burning like software: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and of course a blank CD.  This recovery file is just as good as one that comes with Vista, but it can't do a reinstall.  You can do a system restore or startup repair or even use the command prompt.  Boot from the CD may be your only option to keep the PC "awake" long enough to make the procedures - which even works.

  If that is not working, after return and we work on other solutions to the problem - we have still quite a few options, we can try - but I think that the first option (System Restore) is likely to work best if you know ehen this started and can find a restore prior to that point.

  Good luck and I hope this helps - but please post back whatever the case.  We are here to help you best we can.

• Pavilion dv2000 laptop computer under Win 7, slows down or freezes for a short period.

  My Pavilion dv2000 running Win 7, slows down or freezes for a short period of time where, what seems to be, a talk-show audio plays.  Someone knows how to turn off tv and audio if you use no background.

  I solved the problellm. After stripping the system of all the games and all other third party software, I discovered that the problem would occur when connected my net. If I started and did not attach the net audio problem has not occure.  It turns out that one of the files system temp to explore has been altered by a virus which, down, loaded each time that the system connected to the net.  Problem showed when testing the hard drive.  Ran the disk check which fixed the corrupt files, then reinstalled win 7 and other necessary software.  All right.

  Hello world

  I recently bought a R830-182 (detailed configuration below).
  I had to update Windows 7 Home Premium Ultimate because I need to use it on my university network.

  My University gives us an upgrade to windows 7 ultimate edition, but I had to do a clean install (from inside Windows 7 Home Edition, copy the upgrade you can do).
  The key, with what they gave me would not work with the Windows anytime upgrade utility.

  I think that I have installed everything that I need to get the laptop to work, but I'm not sure of the configuration of the battery. The cooling fan seems to be always on, and when the battery reaches 100% charge that he also said that he is in charge.

  My questions are:
  1. is there another program I have to install to allow the computer manage settings of the battery?
  2. do I need to change some settings in the power options?
  3 should. what settings I change in power options?

  Any help would be welcome
  Kind regards

• Question about power lamp on my Satellite A60 - 302

  Hello
  I know that this problem is not very important but I love my computer and I would like to ask...
  Sometimes my computer seen orange power light. I know what is the meaining of it... when the computer load this lamp is seen like this... but sometimes is orange will suddenly not needed... and it never turn off unless I have pull corks... After doing this operations is charing again, but a few minutes later lamb out...
  What is this prob. and what we do

  Hi Levent,

  Regarding your power supply problem, I would recommend re-installing the utility of power management Toshiba since the Toshiba utility CD, (unless you use Microsoft Power settings of course. I then go into the utility of Toshiba power from the control panel and check that the power is as you want them to be.

  Your ventilation issue is quite common (you can search this forum for similar positions), but in short, the cooling fans are blocked with dust and other debris over a period of time. You should clean this accumulation of CPU radiator by carefully removing the radiator under the laptop or by sucking debris with a household vacuum. Where the CPU is too hot the notebook our instantly down to avoid damage even if you notice a rapid increase in the speed of the fan before that happens.

• laptop computer closed off the power when you unplug

  Original title: laptop turns off

  I just replaced my battery because my only original suggested I do. Now, when I unplug my laptop with the new battery in, my computer turns off. I checked the BIOS system set in place and my adapter shows she is good, fully charged battery display and works normally. Why did the computer turn off?

• I have the motherboard A780L3B have a question about power

  I have the A780L3B and the guid of the quick instalation shows two power connectors pin 4 and PIN 24 my question is can I plug my sorce of power in two of them, or only the instalation guid doesn't even say just said what it is and doesn't say if I need to connect the two or just one

  Do you have a disk with the motherboard?  In my view, that it is a card mother Biostar.  I have 3 Biostar mobos that came with the disc.  There may be a manual on the disc.  Normally, you connect the two connectors from the power supply.  I would of course ensure that the documentation well.

  Good luck.

• Satellite S1000-Z2: Question about power modules.

  This book has been much until now.
  its not used a lot, but just to use it the other day, plugged into the power supply and nothing.
  the Green led is constantly press the ignition button and nothing happens I checked the voltage coming out of the diet that is 19v and that's what I mean. This sound like a new piece on the inside (power module) and if so any easy idea how would be for me to change and the cost?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  Well, it's not easy to say what part has a malfunction. As far as I know that the motherboard has a delicate electronic power supply. You must be an expert to resolve this problem. I suggest you contact the service partner because they have more experience in these cases.
  On the Toshiba site, you can find the right ASP.

  Good bye

• Question about power z820 requirements

  
  

  The amount of energy consumed by the Z820 depends on the configuration and the system how busy is.  Lists of QuickSpecs HP believes some configurations and power on pages 21-24.  Certainly a double system of 12 core high range with a 225W graphics card will use a lot of power, so all hearts are run 100%.  This is why there is a power supply 1100W (sorry of course).
  
  It will use as much as a toaster?  Maybe, if we're running SETI or folding programs 100% of the time with the use of the CPU to the maximum, including graphics GPU, but it is likely, if there is only 1 card graph.  The Z820 will usually take ~ 400W idling, but 800 + watts is possible under load.  It will heat the room.  But most applications use all the capabilities of the system all the time, unlike the toaster that attracts ~ 1100W all the time it is turned on.
  
  There are monitors of inexpensive power, such as the P3 Kill A Watt meter charge which can show the use of the power.
  
  Try to find out how the power outlets are distributed in your apartment.  There should be several points of sale from 15 to which are fastened together in a place that does not normally a quantity of objects running at any given time, or are not connected to the device.  Perhaps a bedroom?  In my house, the kitchen have the toaster, coffeemaker and refrigerator all plugged into them.  They go off the circuit breaker when all lights at the same time.  I moved one of these items to a struggling group that has no elements of high power connected.

• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?

   

  Yes, the registration period is between June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013.

  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

   

  Yes, the Upgrade Wizard of Windows 8 will allow you to create a bootable DVD or you can grab the ESD file and save it.

  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.

   

  Yes and there are better ways to reinstall Windows 8 without using the installation disc, you can use the reset and refresh.

   

   

  These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

  · Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

  · Click settings

  · Click change PC settings

  · Click general in the left column

  · Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

  Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
   
  As long as you have a recovery disk which you should create or use the construction in the recovery partition, Yes, it will self activate.
  Thank you very much!

• question about laptop connectivity

  Question about my laptop computer connection

  Hello

• Computer laptop dv2419us (2000series): is there a graphics card that will be compatible with my HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop (model dv2419us)?

  ? Is there a graphics card that will be compatible to my HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop (model dv2419us)?

  -This laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium.
  -I wanted to take the free update for WIndows 10 - I asked the reservation.
  -First reaction has been waiting for downloads would be available.
  -Just got the message that it is not compatible with Windows 10 because there a GB Nvidia GeForce 6150 graphics card.
  -J' contacted Nvidia on a card that would be comaptible with WIndows 10.
  -Response has been that could not recomment a replacement and contact HP.
  -Does anyone know if there is a replacement of a graphics card for the HP Pavilion laptop dv2000 which would make it compatible with Windows 10?
  ... Or is my only option to not upgrade to Windows 10 or buy a new laptop?

  Hi there @murray62east,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is an excellent site to find answers and ask questions. I understand that you are curious about a replacement of a graphics card.

  Unfortunately the graphics cards are not replaceable on laptop HP Pavilion dv2000. They are directly attached to the motherboard. The only way to replace a graphics card would be to replace the entire motherboard.

  Hope that I have answered your question.

  Have a great day!
