the upgrade of my HP Pavillion DV7-1270US

My laptop runs Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

I'm hoping to upgrade a few hardware components that my machine can better handle the latest games. Knowledge, I want to double my RAM and find a better GPU. I currently have 4 GB of RAM (the machine is capable of 8) and a NVIDIA 9600 Mr. I have some questions about the process, and what you might be able to answer would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, how can I determine whether or not specific to the hardware fit my camera? Newegg.com has to a program that lists of RAM compatible with some machines, but there is only one option of 2 GB for my machine. I imagine that there are more options out there. Once I know which, however, I would be able to buy only one additional stick of 4 GB of RAM to add RAM with which my machine came, or I need 8 GB of entirely new RAM?

Know how to track down my machine-compatible video cards would be too great. For the record, I don't plan to do it myself; I know more computers than the average user, but I certainly Don't trust me to swap the material - especially on a laptop.

If someone could provide me with an overview, I would be very grateful. I would be happy to provide any additional information necessary.

I have the same laptop. In October 2011, I upgraded the RAM with Patriot PSD28G800SK DDR2 SODIMM (2x4gb) 8 GB SODIMM PC2 - 6400 CL6 200 p 1.8V of RAMExperts for $99.99 shipped.  It works very well and does research in Kindle ebooks and high resolution photo editing significantly faster. I sold the original RAM on ebay for $25 + shipping, so my upgrade cost was $ 75. I hope this helps.

  • How do I know which hard drive contains the operating system in the Hp Pavilion dv7-4069wm? The upgrade.

    I think the upgrade of one of my hard drives (ea 320) in my HP Pavilion laptop dv7-4069wm for more storage.  I like to keep the drive that contains the operating system to avoid the hassle to make a copy, but I'm not sure which one that is. I have not replaced a hard drive before, and still less a double disc. Recently, I added more RAM and noticed that both hard drives looked the same. Can someone tell me how to know the difference?

  • HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: what is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 3063 cl with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

    I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

    The computer seems to run very hot and stopped twice from overheating during its first period of 2 weeks when it there was not a lot of calculating, fan was run at top speed at all times, and the laptop was high to allow good airflow below.

    According to the program of the Open Hardware Monitor, the CPU had reached 97-99 C a few times. I bought support cooling a player and that seems to help a lot, dropping the temperature to 20 ° C.

    What is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

    Anything more than 90 c is too hot. You can specify the processor and the motherboard you have installed?

    Also if this from the Manual:

    Thermal paste is used on 1 CPU and heat sink section 2 that the services it. Thermal pads are used on the chip Northbridge 3 and 4, the graphical subsystem chip 5 contact Northbridge and graphics/heatsink contact 6. Thermal material replacement is included with all kits of spare parts of processor, heatsink and system board.

    So unless you have changed the cooling system to heat composed on the chip graphic you should have used a thermal buffer. Without the pad, it may leave just a small hallway and destroy the cooling properties. You can use a shim in copper or other piece of something metal to fill the void, but if you just put the heat sink down on the video chip you won't get optimal even with thermal cooling paste.

  • Processor, RAM or SSD upgrade Pavillion dv7 bought 2009

    This is a laptop purchased in 2009, it has a dual-core pentium cpu and amd 4650 video card.

    I think the upgrade with a new ssd and perhaps new ram. I guess that's the Chipset Mobile Intel® HM65 Express, does it support a faster processor? and it is worth the money/possible to do for a noob?

    I did a few pc built, no experience with laptops. But ram and ssd would be rather forward?

    I also thought of a video card, this becomes hot and sound!

    And freakin Vista...

    Hello

    DV7 is a series of hundreds of models, what is yours? Normally the upgrade RAM, CPU & HDD to SSD is a simple task, but the video card upgrade is very hard, costly impossible (or very, very, very expensive). The upgrade will not work unless you same CPU family. The following manual shows you a list of processors supported from day 1:
