HP Pavilion Dv8000 OS/Software :: Upgrade To Win 8.1
Aug 4, 2014
The laptop is supposed to have a 64 Bit CPU. I tried to free upgrade from Win 8.0 to Win 8.1 but I get the message that I cannot upgrade because my CPU is not capable of the upgrade because of something missing from the CPU like NX or SSE.
HP, somehow forgot to inform the owners or the customer base of this defect. Hoping to not have any problem, I have lost my previous OS, Win XP Pro. There is not even a driver for Audio for Win 8.0.
I also have a HP DV800 and i want to upgrade the memory.Currently it has 512 mb, but i'm not pretty sure what is the maximum that i can upgrade.
Is it 1GB or 2GB?
I ask this because one time somebody told me that there are 2 versions (or something like that) of this laptop. One has DDR and other one DDR2. I'm not really familiar with those terms. Can somebody explain to me which one can i do?
I was checking on EBAY, to buy them but i'm not pretty sure: [url]
All 4 of the usb ports on my dv8000 stopped working. Ive tried updating the drivers, no luck. It originally had XP as the operating system but it was upgraded to windows 7, i dont knows if the usb drives are corrupt or what. When i plug anything into the usb ports it does nothing.
I replaced the mobo in a dv8000 I picked up on the cheap. Put it all back together, loaded vista on it, and I am getting no sound at all from the speakers. If I plug headphones into the side of it, I can hear sound fine, but speakers are not working at all. I have replaced the speakers with a known good set, and still the same thing, nothing from the speakers at all. I have also replaced the audio / usb board, with the same result.
is it possible to buy a new video module for a HP DV8000 17" laptop? Mine took a dump on my, cant get into windows at all, and when its posting there's red lines all over. I can get into safe mode, but thats cause its just a normal VGA driver, but theres still lines all over the screen. Its been a great laptop, and I would hate to not be able to fix her.
i have a DV8000 that can hold 2 drives and i'm trying to put in a slave drive but the system will not recognize it (won't show up in my computer). I run Acronis to set up the new drive and it reads it and formats it and everything but it still won't show up in my computer. do i need to put some jumpers on the pins or something because there isn't any info on the drive itself on how to do this but there are 4 pins next to the Serial hookups.
On my DV8000 I cannot get the Intel Wireless to connect to my router at home, which confuses me because my wife can connect to it just fine, except she's using a broadcom chip. My router at work is the exact same model and setup as the one I have at home and I have no problems connection to it.
I have a DV8000 - DV8333CL and screen has started to flicker. By messing with the screen i can get it to become clear then it starts to flicker again after a few minutes.
I have heard it could be as simple as a loose cable, does anyone know where and how to get to the cable?
I have won a HP Pavilion DV6-1220sb in a contest and it comes with a Dual-Core T4200 CPU running @ 2Ghz. I want to upgrade the CPU by replacing it with a Intel Montevina Core 2 Duo T9600 CPU.
I cannot reach the CPU by removing the lids from the bottom or by removing the keyboard.
i'm trying to upgrade my RAM and a system scan earlier from www.crucial.com revealed that i've got 2 spare slots (i'm surprised!) i could insert.
it is my 1st attempt to upgrade a RAM on a notebook. Warranty has expired and heck, it's time to learn! I've flipped to the back of the laptop and taken out 2 screws (labelled with mem), only i've got existing 2x 256mb RAM.
Is there 2 more slots where i need to take out the top cover? Tried to remove many other screws (including the ones labelled keyboard) but couldn't quite pry open the front lid (where the keypad is). Or I shld just chuck aside the existing RAM slots behind (assuming that crucial scan did a mistake on the available 2 slots).
This laptop has a t6600 processor that does not support virtualization. I have Windows 7 pro installed and I need to run some things in XP mode for work. Can I just upgrade to a p8700 processor? Will the BIOS have to be changed?
my computer has an AMD Turion mobile 64 ML-34 Processor and that the properties of the ml-34 are the same as the ml-37 (2.0ghz instead of the 1.8ghz). I installed the new ml-37 processor and well it didnt work. The screen will not come on with the new processor.
SO i put the old chip back in, but I have no idea what to do now, to get the new processor to work.
My HP Pavilion dv6 SD card reader is not working after windows 8 upgrade (6 months ago). Previously it was working fine when I was using Win 7 (which is the default OS with this laptop). I cant find the device in Device manager (under System Device or Disk Drives).
I have upgraded from win8 to win8.1 on my HP Pavilion model 15-e011nr. I can't reboot and get to the desktop. The notebook PC goes into a cycle of automatic repair, then gives a choice to restart or try advanced options. I tried to use F8 or delete to go into safe mode. Do you hold the key down or continue to press it repeatedly while the computer is starting up? Or is there another method to get to safe mode.
I have an HP Pavilion dv5 that cam,e with Win 7 Home Premium. I have upraded the OS to Win 7 Ulitimate.
I now am going to sell the dv5 and want to install the Win 7 Ultimate Upgrade on a different computer. Do I have to deactivate the Win 7 Ultimate upgrade license, or can I just restore the dv5 to factory condition using the Recovery Drive .
And then just install the Win 7 Ultimate Upgrade on another computer?
I was happily connecting to my home wifi yesterday evening before my HP Pavilion g7 notebook updated to windows 8.1. Now I can only connect via ethernet cable.
I phoned Microsoft Support and was told that my wifi driver was out of date and that this needs to reinstalled. I have had a look at available downloads for network drivers but I am unsure how to establish which one I need.... there are 4 options.
Under Device Manager > Network Adapters, there was only one driver which needed update according to this. The Realtek PCle FE Family Controller. When I checked for updates here is said that it had updated successfully, but I am STILL unable to connect to the internet.
I have an HP Pavilion 15z p000 with Beats Audio running Windows 8.1. I want to upgrade the memory (RAM), but I don't see any access panels on the underside of the notebook that would make it easy to change the memory cards. I didn't find any diagrams or instructions in the user manual, and I haven't found any way videos on the internet. I'm pretty handy with computers and upgrading hardware, so I'm not afraid of taking things apart and putting them back together.
I brought HP pavilion n010tx with windows 8 and I upgraded to windows 8.1 after that I Can't reduce my brightness in my laptop and it shows brightness adjustment is unavailable....
