What RAM to a Pavilion DV7 series laptop

I am upgrading a laptop Pavilion Dv7 series and information of conflict on the RAM it will run. Main RAM sites say the DV7 series will work work DDR3 but they also say that the DV7T-1000CTO uses DDR2. More research suggests that the DDR3 switch was made at the time, that my laptop has been made. 8 GB of DDR 2 costs about $200 and maximum, DDR3 is about $50. My DV7T-1000 CTO works now 3 GB of DDR2 and I need to know if the motherboard supports DDR3. For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.    Thank you!

The processor is an Intel Core Duo P7350 (2 GHz) 64-bit

The graphics card is a NVIDIA GeoForce 9600 m GT 512 MB

The product computer notebook # is KN798AV

The serial number is [removed personal information]

Hello

If your laptop is currently DDR2 Ram then you will not be able to install DDR3 because modules are physically different and not backward compatible.

  • How can I check the speed broadband on my HP Pavilion DV7 series laptop?

    I am a Novice. My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7 64 bit, I received for Christmas 2011. His speed was great until I received a phone call from my DSL provider (a week ago) proposing to improve my speed from 3Mbps to 6 Mbps for an additional monthly cost of $5. I refused because he ran very fast and I was completely satisfied. Since then, it has been very slow and does not load new pages quickly. If I click several times, I get a circle with a line through it, that had never happened before the phone call. Another friend in the region had the same problem after having received the same offer.  Thank you!

    I installed the Server 2008 R2 on a laptop DV7-7012nr. I upgraded the memory up to 16 GB. I deleted all the partitions, and then divide the hard drive into 2 partitions. Partition 1 is 7 442 Go Windows, Partition 2 is 256 GB server.

    Hello

    It is possible that your installation of Norton 360 is damaged and this can cause very long start-up times.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you have a way to reinstall Norton and the activation key if you are able to reinstall it.

    To completely uninstall Norton, download and run the Norton Removal Tool relevant to your particular product on the link below.

    https://www-secure.Symantec.com/Norton-support/JSP/help-solutions.jsp?LG=English&CT=United+States&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&PVID=f-home

    When the tool has finished, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, let it idle for 10 minutes then restart it again and see if the startup time has improved.

    If she has or not, reinstall Norton 360.

    Let me know.

  • My DV7 series laptop for a year and a half old keeps freezing while charging.

    So Ive had this laptop (chart below) for about a year and a half now, and last week he suddenly started freezing only while it loads. It happens regardless of the temperature, my graphic choice (radeon or intel) and any other factor. When this happens, I can still move my mouse to the screen, but everything else is frozen (bar tasks will not fall down as normal, background turn, monitor cpu is not update. im not very experienced in solving a problem like this, but I don't know my way around my PC so I can easily get the necessary additional info.)

    The only problem I see is AVG.

    AVG is that a virus scanner which often gives trouble.

    Why? It is not the best antivirus and gives wrong with HijackThis.

    HijackThis is a tool of advanced securety used by malware specialists. And AVG is not the complete package.

    Yust a assume that you use the Windows Firewall? If Yes this isn't good eunogh for threats.

    Another assumption:

    You do not run on Java 8.

    Please uninstall all versions of java and download this new version.

    http://jdk8.Java.NET/Download.html

    I recommend Avast 7 free + free Online Armor + Secunia PSI 3.0 and Java 8

    If you plan to install Avast it please let me know. You will need to disable something in Avast, otherwise there will be trouble with Online armor free.

  • Pavilion DV7 - 1243CL laptop - Windows XP Pro installation

    I read a lot of posts here on decommissioning the DV7 series latpop XPP Windows.  What I've not seen my model of th is mentioned DV7 series.  I have DV7 - 1243CL.  I was able to actually cross the Windows XP installation by creating the XP installation disk with the sata drivers.  I have a few drivers installed, but I have a lot of yellow question marks in Device Manager.  Anyone know where I can get all the XP drivers for this laptop?  I got this phone 2 days ago and I spent the majority of these 2 days of combing this Council and google looking for drivers.  There isn't a lot there, so I decided to post this request.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give.  I like much this laptop, but the idea of having to run Vista is very discouraging.  In case it is useful to have the part number, it is NB234UAR #ABA.

    Thanks again!

    Hello:

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

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03099448.PDF

    Given that the product specifications indicate that your PC has the i-core processors Intel 2nd generation, you can indeed install 2 x 8 GB of memory (16 GB ttl).

    See Chapter 1, page 5 for the memory info.

    You must make sure that you are buying 2 x 8 GB PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) memory.

    I'm going with the G.Skill but feel free to all desired PC3-10600 memory.

  • Pavilion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own

    My Pavillion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own without any warning or error messages and then restarts asking power on the passsord, etc. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Occurrences are more frequent over time.

    The first thing I would check is your laptop fan. You hear it works while the laptop is on, or it is disabled? If the fan fails, the laptop overheats. To protect themselves, the laptop turns off. It could also be that you have little dust blocks the air fan. The best option is to have someone to disassemble the laptop and clean, but some people have managed with the help of compressed air. The problem with this is that it blows back into the laptop. Perhaps vacuum?

    A farily common problem with most laptops is the integrated graphics processors. Over time, the GPU becomes disattached from the motherboard. If this happens, the laptop will be closed or does not start at all. Generally however, there isn't a lot of attention if that is the case, the computer stops working one day.
