• Uninstalling windows 8 on the dv7-3180US

  Hello, I installed Win 8 Pro on my dv7-3180US. I was informed that I should uninstall Win 8 that HP can't win on my dv7-3180US 8.

  How can I uninstall Windows 8 so I can come back to Win 7.

  Can I recreate the image on the hard drive and return to the original factory software and drivers that was delivered to me?

  How do I do that? I can load any other software.

  Hello:

  If you do not remove the recovery partition, you can try a factory reset.

  I doubt it will work, but you have nothing to lose by trying.

  Please see the link below for more information.

• Brand new dv7-7212nr want missing SW or config for SSD?

  Just bought a new non-custom desire dv7-7212nr 2 days ago.  Main specifications are:

  3rd gen i7-3630QM

  750 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Drive hard acceleration Cache 32 GB SSD

  8 GB OF SDRAM

  Windows 8

  Other components are irrelevent to my questions or situation.

  The wording 'Hard Drive Acceleraton Cache 32 GB SSD' spec would mainly means the technology Intel Rapid Storage, perhaps combined with the Intel Quick start technology.  Yet, on this computer, I can find only an Intel Rapid Start Technology Manager.

  In Panel of-> system and security-> administration-> computer management tools > storage-> disk management, I can see disk 0 to 699 GB with several partitions, which include the OS (C) and (D) RECOVERY.

  Disc 1 has proved to have an 8 GB partition.

  I find that disk 1 is the SSD and this computer has only the Intel Rapid Start SW technology and configuration.  I read on the internet for this tech in fast ignition to work, an SSD should have a partition that is exactly the same size as the SDRAM.

  My first set of questions are: 1) is my correct conclusion? (2) how HP put in an SSD of 32 GB and uses only 8 GB of it?

  I chatted online with an HP support who asked me to download from a website for HP Intel Rapid Storage Technology and SW drivers and assured me that the installation would not cause any problems or conflicts with the existing configuration, and so I did.  I have no ill effect (yet), but it doesn't seem to be that a good effect is.  On the one hand, it is supposed to be a new 'Intel Rapid Storage Technology' application, but there is none.  So HP support and I can not go further, and support suggested that I do a system recovery, return the setting to factory.  I told him the computer is 2 days, and I to him did nothing other than downloads, that he asked me to do.

  My next set of questions are: a) HP wouldn't put in quick start and quick storage in this product, taking into account the SSD of 32 GB? (b) is there a way to add storage now fast SW and config to envy dv7-7212nr to fully use the 32 GB of SSD? (c) do I keep off to pass my own files on this computer before the problem of cache SSD?

  Finally, I did the Windows experience index runs on the computer and got a score of 5.9 on performance of the hard disk.  I read on the internet that the score is in line with the performance of disk HARD 7200 RPM, which suggests no effect of cache SDS.

  I realize I'm putting in a long post, but I wanted to provide enough information for the experts to evaluate and give answers.

  Thank you very much!

  So, how do I know / check / detect that the other 24G of the 32 GB of SSD is used for the RAID config? Thought that the RAID has not SSD.

  I looked at the config of the BIOS at startup; It shows no option for TSRI but only Intel Rapid Start Tech. It seems that the dv7-7212nr want to support any, TSRI unlike advertising on the dv7-7212nr box.

  First of all, make sure that you download and install the driver of technology Intel Rapid STORAGE for the Envy HP dv7-7212nr here:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-112591-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4132&product=5309489&sw_lang=

  After installation, find Intel Rapid Storage Technology and run. It must start with a screen that looks like this:

  

  It's my real desire HP dv7-7212nr. The screen may be slightly different from mine because I fiddled with technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology (for example, the default Cache volume is 22 GB, where, as mine said 21 GB). Although the WSSD is 32 GB, the size displayed in the Windows is always less than the specified size (30 GB instead of 32 GB). Similarly, the 750 GB hard drive is displayed as GB 699.

  As you may already know, the 8 GB data volume is configured as a partition hibernation for Intel Quick START technology, and the rest, 21 GB in my case, is used as cache acceleration to Intel Rapid STORAGE Technology. The status of SATA (750 GB HDD) drive "fast-track" means that the hard drive is "fast-track" by the cache on the SSD drive and that it is configured and working properly. You can easily change these settings if you take the time to read and learn about it; for example, you can disable the quick START (hibernation partition) and use the whole SSD for fast STORAGE (acceleration).

  Your BIOS should certainly have an entry indicating the Intel Rapid STORAGE technology works properly. I forgot the exact name of it, but I will edit this post to let you know what he said exactly once that I reboot to enter the BIOS again.

  Edit: In the BIOS, go to System Configuration > UEFI Device Configuration (under Intel Rapid Start technology) > technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology and you should see a screen similar to mine below:

  

  As you can see, I've fiddled with my setup of the WSSD, and so my quick partition start (hibernation) is in fact 8.3 GB (slightly larger than the default value) and my cache volume is 21.5 GB (slightly smaller than the default value).

• Replace the computer wifi card notebook dv7-7212nr

  Hello, I am aware that HP uses a 'white list' in the bios to prevent the upgrade of some hardware. It is my understanding that HP put an end to this practice.

  My question has to do with when they abandoned this practice I want to upgrade my laptop wifi card dv7-7212nr want to 2012. The bios of my laptop includes the code of white list? Does anyone know when HP officially stopped using white list in their bios?

  Thank you!

  Yes, the BIOS of your laptop includes a white list. HP has ceased to put it on the new laptops on time of the year graces last on assembled laptops that later, but the withdrawal from the whitelist was not retroactive. If it was there when your laptop was new, it is still there.

  • 750 GB HARD drive with 32 GB WSSD Cache
  • Ralink RT3290 wireless card (beginning to remove connections a few days before this happened)

  Last night, I was using my laptop normally and he sat to play a game. During the game, he's dead, and not even think, I just returned it to my office for the next day.

  Well, today, I rebooted it and went to turn it on and I have almost nothing! The power light stays on and the hard disk activity is solid for about 2 seconds then turn off. The screen is blank, there is no blinking or beep codes and the WiFi light does not change color indicating that the computer has at least started.

  Being a computer scientist, I removed the RAM and reinstalled it. That did not help. I also tried to boot without the hard drive is connected. That does not help either. I also tried the Win + B BIOS recovery with my hard drive and a USB drive and no luck there dry. The last (possibly) worst part is... I removed the RAM and lit without it and still, no code blink or beep.

  At this point, I believe that my laptop has a failed motherboard, but I'm just checking from now until I have the chance to call HP support if there is anything else I can try. My warranty expires in three weeks only, if at least it happened before, not after.

  In addition, no one knows the direct phone number to the HP support which is on the ground in the USA. I never had a good turn-out speaking with the support of offshore and would like to work with someone who can help me better right off the bat.

  Thank you!

• 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.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Installing Windows 7 on your HP ENVY computer Notebook dv7-7234nr is not supported by HP. In addition, no Windows 7 driver is listed on HP Software and Driver Downloads page for your computer.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 and it will support the installation of Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not support some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the ' settings of BIOS ' settings below page;

  

  Then, start Windows 8 and run the console 'disk management '. Using "Shrink Volume", reducing the size of the "C:" partition about half of its original size. Name of the partition "C:" to something like "Windows 8". Now, start the computer from the Windows 7 DVD, making sure to select "UEFI - internal CD/DVD" or "UEFI - ATAPI CD/DVD ' and not ' Legacy - CD/DVD internal."  (I recommend using a disc of Windows 7 SP1latest drivers have been included in this topic.

• BIOS update failed - DV7-7212nr

  I tried to update the BIOS of my Envy DV7-7212nr laptop with the sp60050.exe file, but the procedure was not successful despite having followed all the directions for the procedure. After the computer restarts, the done screen no longer lights. I waited for several hours, but nothing happened. Now when I try to connect to the laptop, the power light comes on, but nothing happens. The screen remains off. Is it possible to restore the BIOS to its previous state?

  Hello

  Unzip the BIOS sp60050.exe softpaq and look for the BIOS 0818 file.

  Copy it to a USB fash. Rename the extension of bin.

  Do it once more and rename the other to. rom.

  Now, you will have a picture of the BIOS to restore.

  One of the two files will work.

  Leave the USB drive connected and start in the environment of the--> management of the UEFI BIOS and this time path to where you have the file .bin and ROM file saved. Choose the image and restore the BIOS.

• Second hard drive for the dv7 - 7047cl

  Can a second hard drive be added to the dv7 - 7047cl?

  (It is standard drive is a 1 TB of HARD drive).

  If so, how?

  Thank you!

  Hi Mike,.

  You are welcome

  There should be no problem with Bios recognizing the 2nd HARD drive, however it may not appear in Windows (under the Start Menu, computer) until the drive has been formatted.

  You can format the second HDD as follows.

  Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.  Right-click on your new HARD drive and select Format to start the wizard.  Windows 7 will affect a Volume label so if your happy with it, just leave the default.  File system is NTFS.  Allocation unit size must be left by default.  Select the option to perform a quick format if it is not already done.  Leave all the other default settings, and then click Ok, and then Ok to start the process.

  Once this done, your new HARD disk should now appear when you look under the computer.
