HP Envy 15 Lockups :: Touchsmart Won't Start After BIOS Update
Dec 12, 2013I've had a HP Envy 15 touchsmart laptop (Windows 8 originally, windows 8.1 now) for about 2 months now and haven't had any problems, till a few hours ago i attempted to update the bios of my laptop using the hp support assistant. After the restart, the pc would no longer start up and took me to a blue screen with the error message SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Everything I have done so far short of a refresh or reset has not worked and if i could I would like to avoid both as I do not have the bandwith to go download windows 8.1 again.

Oct 22, 2009I've had my DV9500t for nearly two years now and can say that for the most part I've been happy with it.
I've been reading a good deal about the overheating 8600M GS issues and have personally noticed that under load the laptopo does get extremely hot. Usually when using intensive applications (modeling, simulations, games, etc) I try to use a desktop but sometimes I do use this laptop.
I'm planning to get to get a cooler, but was wondering if upgrading my BIOS could also actually help as well. I’ve seen a few posts about the different versions for the DV9500t, but am wondering which version you have all found to be the “best” in terms of thermal management and overall performance (if any difference).
Right now my laptop is running the original F.09. I’ve held off on updating the BIOS thinking if there’s nothing wrong why bother, but now I think that maybe it is time to update, just in case.
HP/Compaq :: (HP Pavillion DV9500t )
May 14, 2009HP Pavillion DV9500t got damaged when i was playing game 3 months ago. the Main problem for the hp is Graphic card gone and the motherboard might not work either. the pc had been sent for repair once 7 months ago due to the blackscreen (LCD screen with no background light) and this happened just before the end of the 1 year Warranty.
I bought it at end of June 2007.
currently, i dont know if i still possible to get it repair without pay anything.
HP/Compaq :: HDX 18" & DV9500T
Feb 25, 2009I want to know this two things:
1st- Does HDX 18" Laptops get as hot as dv9500T? My dv9500T (as most hp laptops) used to get pretty hot under normal circumstances (about 60C just browsing) and as almost everyone here I use Rightmark CPU to downclock my CPU and use a Cooling pad to keep temperature under control (44 - 48 C). I'd like to get an HDX 18" but I'd like them not to have the same problem, if somebody owns one, please share your experience and also, Does HDX 18" laptop support more than 4GB Ram?.
2nd- In the case I can't get an HDX 18", I might want to upgrade the Processor. What is the highest proecessor a DV9500T will support? See my signature to check on my current dv9500T config.
HP/Compaq :: Dv9500t Video Failure
Dec 15, 2009I have a DV9500t with a nvidia 8600gs card in it. Last Friday my wife brought it to work and when she was leaving she just shut the laptop and stuck it in our notebook bag. When she got home we went out to eat and when we got back we took the laptop out and it was very very hot and smelled a little funny, apparently the damn thing didn't go to sleep when my wife closed the lid. Great HP workmanship there.... Well I let it cool off and turned it on... It started showing little red dots all over and when it tried to boot into windows there was multi colored lines up and down the screen. I could boot into safe mood and see everything, but the display was still a bit screwy show little red dots and artifacts everywhere...
So I've concluded that the video card overheated and I'm lucky it didn't start on fire, but at the same time the laptop is unusable. Is there anything inexpensive that I can do about this? The warranty expired a year and a half ago and I certainly can't afford a new laptop at this point. This is very frustrating since I thought the laptop would last at least another year.... Does anyone know if the video card can be replaced?
HP/Compaq :: Dv9500t Screen Went Black
Feb 8, 2009I own a dv9500t model which has been working fine since I bought it in October 2007. Today out of the blue the screen went black while I was working on the computer. What does this mean? I am still able to use the computer via an external monitor.

Apr 12, 2010I have the dv9500t that died yet a third time because of the nvidia problem.
I am wondering if I can buy a new laptop, which would probably be a base model, and then successfully transplant the CPU and RAM and HDD into the newer laptop. My CPU is still WAY better than anything out there in todays base models (C2D T7300 4MB L2 Cache, etc etc) and I have 4GB of RAM installed. I have 2 HDDs, one is 160GB, one is a 320GB HDD that I plan on installing onto the new laptop.
So basically, RAM and HDD specs arent important to me in the new laptop except that my current one from the dv9500t fit, as well as the CPU being able to fit in the new laptop.
I need to buy a laptop asap, but it sucks that my 3yr old dv9500t is still margins better than today's base models... i was hoping that today's base models would be as good or even better than my current model
HP/Compaq :: HP DV9500T Video Card Dead
Jan 20, 2009I bought this hp dv9500t laptop in oct, 2007 and is now out of warranty.
I have updated Vista to SP1. Yesterday, I was playing a song in windows media player while the lid was kept closed. Suddenly, the song went into trrrrr like sound and the machine rebooted on its own. After having rebooted on its own, the display went into lowest bit depth (6 bit/600x480!), I had to manually change it to 32 bit / 1680x1050.
Then to my shock, I found, the video adapter was not Nvidia and it defaulted to default generic VGA driver in display properties.
Later I tried reinstalling the nvidia driver and even upgraded it to latest from laptopvideo2go site. But nothing solves the issue, it never identifies any nvidia display driver.
Looks like the display card got corrupted after upgrade to sp1.
What options do I have now? How much will it cost me to get the video card replaced, if it is determined that the card is corrupted? I am in India now, so I am clueless where I need to send this machine to get serviced?
HP/Compaq :: Hp Dv9843cl Bricked, Won't Start BIOS
Apr 26, 2010My dv9843cl will not start, refusing to even go into BIOS, even though the screen turns on. This is suspiciously similar to what happened to my last laptop, and I suspect that a faulty graphics chip is at fault. I was playing Team Fortress 2 shortly before it crashed, and it was performing poorly, and occasionally making random colored boxes or random interference appear on the screen.
Unlike my last laptop, however, I'm not sure if there was a recall for the graphics chip, and since I bought the laptop in 2008 from Costco without anything other than the standard warranty, I'm probably not eligible for free repairs, right? -_-

HP/Compaq :: Best BIOS Update For DV6000T
Feb 17, 2009Any one BIOS update known to be better than the rest?
I am reading a good deal on the boards, and people like F.16, but I don't know which would work best in my situation. My main issue is being able to see the 3.12 GB of RAM after I put 2 2GB sticks in.
I have XP MCE , T7200 which came with the DV6000T bought in Jan 07.
I just want it to run cooler and faster, so far it has been a workhorse.
Which would be the best choice? [url]
HP/Compaq :: DV6-2190US BIOS Update
Apr 24, 2010HP has posted a BIOS update on their website for the DV6-2190US laptop. The update is listed as F.1AA and claims to "improve system fan behavior". This laptop has a quad core I7, 720 QM clarksfield processor so anything to better control heat would be good to consider. I am usually never hesitiant to update a BIOS, even on the numerous laptops I have owned, but....I have noticed HP had some of their BIOS updates bricking their laptop lately.
Has anyone flashed their DV6-2190 with this update yet?

Nov 15, 2009I thought it was a good idea to update my BIOS from F0.A to F17.
I am now stuck with the fan constant running and I have checked some other threads and found that you can switch this off in the BIOS.
I have checked and it is already switched off!
I tried to restore to go back to the old BIOS but it seems I am f****d. Not possible.
Are there tricks to go back to the original firmware.
Are there third party software that can stop the fan turning all the time.

Jan 11, 2009I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC and after updating my bios from F.22 to F.24 the computer wont boot into Vista.

HP/Compaq :: Presario V6130us Blue Screen After Bios Update
Mar 9, 2010My troubles are as follows:
I started working on a presario v6130us laptop with a blue screen. The owner thought it was due to a virus when she opened a email. I went and wiped the HD and reinstalled windows XP pro. Had the darn thing working nicely.
Then I thought he computer was running a lil slow, so I decide to update the bios. From (I believe) v.07 to ver.29 from the hp website. At the restart, it never restarted, so I restarted it by pressing power button. Went into the same ol blue screen loop. The stop message is 0x0000007b. I looked that variable up on the microsoft webpage. It says it is a Win 2000 unmountable boot device. Prior to this message it was Stop 0x000000ED.
Does anyone know how to roll the bios back, or what could be causing this problem? I have done a quick HD test. so far it has passed and is now doing the "executing" test @ 20% complete. B4 the bios update, the test would say FAIL 1- 07.

Dell Inspiron N5050 :: Monitor Won't Start After Any Update
Nov 26, 2014I have upgraded my Win 7 operating system to Win 8.1. on my Dell Inspiron NS5050. All other components remain the same. The first deals with the USB Port. I insert a USB and it is not recognized. I open Device Manager and in Properties uninstall the the Driver and reboot. The USB now works correctly. Why does this keep happening? Tried to update Driver but comes back device is up to date. When USB fails I get message, "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
Second Issue. Monitor won't start after any updates. After several times starting and restarting, I connected to an external monitor. External monitor starts and I can Log In. Computer functions normally with external monitor. Device Manager one time showed an error with the monitor. I deleted the driver and the original monitor worked correctly. Other times with a simple "Windows Defender" update monitor won't start. Using external monitor works every time. Additional monitor switching sometimes works other times not. Not sure what is wrong with the F1 key. Turns on and off monitor?
