Upgraded my HP Pavilion dv7-6c23cl memory

First of all, I want to upgrade my memory from HP laptop Pavilion dv7-6c23cl (currently with 6 GB memory) he came). She has Windows Pro 8.1 installed.

Some users, retailers of memory, including some experts not HP, say:

  1. Maximum supported memory for HP Pavilion dv7-6c23cl Notebook is 16 GB... is it really 8 GB or 16 GB?
  2. Do not install memory in pairs, manufacturer/size... is that correct?
  3. If the 8 GB or 16 GB max taken in charge, is there any other requirements?

Hello:

Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&product=5218586&

Memory upgrade information and configuration options are in Chapter 1, page 5.

Since your model has a processor AMD, the maximum memory that can be installed is 2 x 4 GB = 8 GB total.

Only models with Intel processors can have 16 GB of installed memory.

    I was unable to find guaranteed compatible expansion modules appear to be available to Kingston or Corsair.

    Guaranteed compatible using modules in a major memory manufacturer upgrade is the way to go if you want no surprises when you plug new modules. Do not add the new memory module that is already there. Remove the original memory unless you can locate a module that is identical in every respect to be placed in the empty soDIMM slot. You don't have to try to match the specifications of the module of the computer laptop memory published unless you like surprises.

    So does that mean?

    This means that your notebook is a discrete graphics solution and not UMA graphics card.

    Your laptop has an Intel processor chipset and Intel HM77 as described in the following specifications document?

  • 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.

  • WN810EA: update Pavilion dv7 4010sw memory

    Hi guys,.

    I want to improve RAM in my notebook.

    Right now I have a standard Samsung 3GBs.

    I tried to mount the 2 types of memory, but it did not work with both of them.

    First was kit Kingston HyperX Impact of 2 x 4 GB, 1600 Mhz, CL9, 1.35v, PC3-12800.

    So good Ram, 2 x 4 GB 1333 Mhz CL9, 1.5V, Pc3-10600 - this is identical to the original memory mounted just know except for size and didn't work too!

    After installation of BIOS them two saw new memory but Windows 7 has not begun, and computer restart automatically over and over again saying that he had a problem with the Windows startup.

    HP Recovery and all Windows diagnosis and repair of tools does not work as well.

    When I put back old memory everything comes back to normal and to start Windows.

    No idea why this laptop won't work with those memories? Help, please.

    Hello

    Why not use RAM Samsung? Even they use the same characteristics, but they are not the same as you can see.

    Kind regards.

    Hey Wyz Azz

    Vista home premium to vista Professional is NOT an upgrade path

    You must do a fresh install with the help of a full vista Enterprise license

    With the 64-bit of Windows Vista editions, things are as clear as possible. You can upgrade:
    -Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate.
    -Home Premium to Ultimate.
    -Business to ultimate.

    for your vista upgrade family problems premium if the ultimate disc doesn't have a sp2 already as part of it uninstall sp2 from the installed OS family premium to ultimate upgrade then reinstall sp2

    I searched several for one for the advice and tried to install several recommended drivers but so far without success. Can someone help me with this?

    Hi Charlie54,

    You can try using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 7) to restore the original drivers, or you can try to install the Windows 7 drivers.

    Here is the Windows 7 drivers for the Software HP MediaSmart Live TV and the TV Tuner driver, they should both be installed.

    I hope this helps, please let me know.

    Thanks and good luck!

  • DV7-6c23cl: Dear HP, thanks for posting the drivers chipset for dv7-6c23cl

    Dear HP, I assume that you read your own forums.  I tried to contact your support but which becomes very tedious.

    Please report the chipset drivers on the drivers for this laptop page.

    As mentioned in this post...

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware/HP-Pavilion-dv7-6c23cl-entertainment-notebook-PC-USB-...

    I asked HP to include the chipset and the USB3 drivers for all of their laptop AMD based not less than 3 times.

    For some reason, they don't.

    NONE of their consumption AMD chipset based notebooks have the chipset drivers AMD or USB3 on the support pages.

    Only business class PC do and they only pilots USB3 and not the driver that installs the smbus controller.

    But as you have in your other post, alleged that I worked for HP and deducted that I was abandoned in the course of my work, I take this opportunity to let you know that your message will be dead by HP.

    Again... This is a forum for peer to peer, and no HP is what it is posted here on behalf of the company.

    If you want to run this issue further to the top of the stem, then it is not the appropriate place for this.

    You can send an e-mail to the management of HP on the link below and see if you can get anywhere with them.
