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:

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.

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 a HP Pavilion dv5-1215ee with the following specifications:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T6400
(2 GHz; 2MB Level 2 Cache; 800 MHz FSB)
My questions are:
1) Is my notebook capable of upgrading its processor from T6400 to T9600 (2.80 GHz; 6MB Level 2 Cache; 1066 MHz FSB)?
2) If so, then it would mean that it would be a decrease of its battery life, right?
3) And if I do upgrade, is the difference noticeable? I mean, if my RAM would still be 2GB DDR2, and if I do upgrade, is the change very noticeable?

I own HP Pavilion DV8229ea [url]
currently I have 1024 MB DDR2 533 MHz (2 x 512 MB) and I want to upgrade the RAM to 2Gb.
I want to remove the current slots that are installed and I will buy and install 2 new slots, each one is Kingston 1GB 667Mhz DDRII (2Gb in total).
My question is:
Will it work on 667Mhz or will it be downgraded to 533Mhz? Or maybe it will not work at all
On HP website it's not written that the mainboard supports 667Mhz FSB.

in upgrading HP PAvilion ZD8002AP laptop.
1. I believe the HDD is 5400rpm, can you please suggest a 7200rpm model to replace it?
2. I believe the video card is ATI Mobility Radeon X600, is there a newer compatible card I can upgrade this with?
3. Is there a Blu-Ray burner drive I can replace the current DVD burner with?
4. Is there any way I can control cooling fan speed or temperature control? Bios is F.34.
5. I have already upgraded RAM to 2G, is it possible to go to 3 or 4 G?
6. Are there any other upgrades to improve speed and performance for this great laptop model?

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).

what type of memory is compatible with my girlfriend's hp dv2000 laptop?
All I know so far is this.
It comes with 2x1gb sticks of PC2 5300 200PIN DDR2 SODIMM
I am interested in getting 4gb for her. Would OCZ be ok?
I am looking at these right now -
[url]
They are OCZ PC2-5400 DDR2 SODIMM 200 pin
Would these be compatible with her laptop? Or can someone recommend something else???
The 5400 is just the max speed it runs at, so it would be ok if it wast the 5300 like the stock hp has?

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 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.
