DV6-6060sa Do I have discrete graphics memory or UMA graphics memory? + Where is 'System Fan 'B''
Hi There,
I am going to attempt replacing a fan on my Pavilion DV6-6060sa Laptop, I have been looking around on the net and have just now read through the service manual to better understand which component needs replacing.
I am going to be changing system fan 'B', as the error message states at start-up. (I have tried compressed air spray through the air vents but this has not worked.)
In order for me to purchase the correct part number I need to know whether I have Discrete memory or UMA memory.
As stated above I have a Pavilion DV6-6060sa unit, the below snippet is from the service manual.
(12) Fan/heat sink assembly (includes replacement thermal material):
For use only with computer models equipped with ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650
graphics subsystems
518435-001
For use only with computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with discrete
graphics memory
512837-001
For use only with computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with UMA
graphics memory
512830-001
Could you let me know which part number I require, and also send me a link for an original HP replacement part please?
The fan I will be replacing is the fan closes to the power button, looking down at the laptop from a birds eye view it is located on the upper left corner. The two vents (one on the left and one on the top) usud to have air forced out from the fan, which is now not working. I take it this is system fan 'B' and is the heat sink?
Please can you confirm the above information?
Specifically Including a description of which fan system fan 'B' is? (thank you)
I appreciate your help, Simon.

Hi,
90B is the error code, not the location of the fan.

Does my Laptop have Discrete or UMA Memory?
Hello there...
After about 14 months the laptop my mother purchased for me for my 2nd year of Grad School has experienced its first major issue as the cooling fan is malfunctioning. At start up before the OS boots it tells me the fan is malfunctioning and therefore it wont boot unless I tell it too.
So I want to purchase a replacement fan so I can take it to the local repair shop and get it fixed. I believe that I've found the two potential options for fans as well. However, according to the manual the part is dependent upon whether the" computer model is equipped with an Intel processor and a graphics subsystem with UMA memory or discrete memory". Unfortunately I have no idea what this means at all...
This is the laptop...

Thank you very much for anybody that can help me.

Fan replacement - do I have discrete or UMA memory?
Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dv7-6c80us laptop that I need to replace the cooling fan on.
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Intel HM65
Intel core i7 2670QM
To order a replacement fan, I need to know whether I have:
a graphics subsystem with
2048-MB of discrete memory
(Part #666391-001)
a graphics subsystem with
1024-MB of discrete memory
(Part #666390-001)
a graphics subsystem with
UMA memory
(Part #666392-001)
How do I find this information?
Thanks.

View Solution.If it only has the Intel HD 3000 Graphics, that is UMA.
The specs confirm that is the case:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03138569 -
fan needs replaced, don't know if I have discrete or UMA graphics, options are as follows from the maintenance manual:
For use only with computer models equipped with graphics subsystems with UMA memory 603690-001
For use only with only with computer models equipped with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 graphics subsystems with discrete memory 604787-001
For use only with computer models equipped with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics subsystems with discrete memory 603691-001
I am unsure of which one of these three options I have and don't know how to find out. Device manager lists Intel HD Graphics 4000, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

Do I have discreet or UMA graphics memory
I have an HP Pavilion m7-1015dx product #B4T7OUAR - Intel HD graphics 4000 - does this use discreet or UMA graphics memory?
Hi:
Your model has a graphics adapter with UMA memory.
This means that the graphics adapter uses the same system memory that the rest of the hardware uses. -
Upgrading a hp dv6 6060sa graphics
Can i upgrade my 1gb raedon graphics on my dv6 to 2gb what kind of graphics cards should i be looking for and are they easy to install
Hi,
Normally upgrading graphics card for a NORMAL laptop is a no no situation and impossible in many cases. In your case, you may have to upgrade the cooling system (fan, heat sink assembly), and probvably a new mother/system board.
In short: buy a new machine such as one of these for gameming:

Hi,
First of all::
The product Name of my computer is: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex Entertainment Notebook PC support
The number of my computer is : LM610EA#A2N.
I have AMD Radeon HD 6770M (1 GB DDR5).
For Switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units(GPUs). (Integarted GPU is (Mobile Intel Graphics) and (Discrete GPU is (AMD Radeon Graphics).
Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power_saving graphics mode(normally used under battery power) and a high-perfomance graphics mode.
I always find the same version in my home page which is 2011-11-18 , Version8.882.2.3000, 338.98M which I have it installed
1- AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver
2011-11-18 , Version8.882.2.3000, 338.98M
Released:
2011-11-18
File name:
sp55092.exe [1/1, 338.98M]
Version
8.882.2.3000
Catalyst Control Center Version: 2011
However, I found at
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
There is a new versioin of AMD Radeon(TM) HD 6770M discrete desktop/mobile and APU graphics for
Windows operating systems equipped with AMD Radeon(TM) HD 6770M discrete desktop/mobile and APU graphics.
Thus, as long as I don't know if this can be compatible with my AMD Radeon or not, I am wondering if I can proceed with downloading it or not.
This is AMD Catalyst: 2014
This is AMD Chipset Drivers from

It uses system RAM it doesn't have it own system RAM if it does it most likely is to small to see. Discrete memory is only for Video GPU in laptop not for audio.

I believe I am experiencing the problems discussed in this article: http://www.macnn.com/articles/14/11/04/several.support.threads.discussing.issue. related.to.gpu.switching/
However I am not sure. I am not that tech savvy... Anyway my computer is becoming unusable. Its truly driving me crazy. Its worth noting that I would have this problem OCCASIONALLY while running Mavericks, since the update it has become far me frequent: Computer Restarts shows message "you computer has restarted because of a problem" or sometimes my screen just goes black, the sound still plays. Pasted below is the error report. Can anyone tell me, do I have the common problem as discussed in the article or something else? I have had this machine for about 18 months, already had to replace the SSD, now this. It looks like I maybe on my way to having a $3k paperweight. Please help!

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software. -
Memory speed and graphic card slot
Hi,
I have just built a system with a P67A-GD65 B3 board, everything works fine, but while double-checking on the system's specs and performances I came across two weird issues:
- I have 2 x G-Skill F3-17000CL7-2GBXHD RAM sticks at 2133MHz, I have enabled XMP in the BIOS (with leaving all other settings in automatic mode) and the BIOS indicates the RAM is running at 2133MHz, 7-10-7-27, however, when I run the MSI Control Center (latest version of the app) it says on the home screen of this app that my RAM is detected as "DDR3-1600 (800MHz)" in the speed field. I also ran CPU-Z and it says there that my DRAM frequency is 1064.4 MHz (the FSB:DRAM value is "1:8"), with the 7-10-7-27 timings values. Which one should I believe? The WEI gives a score of 7.9 for my memory which is ok, and I am not running in any performance issue nor I am looking to do any overclocking, but I just want to make sure that I am making the best out of my money and that I am using the RAM as it is supposed to be used... Can someone shed some light here?
- I have installed my graphic car on the slot that is the furthest possible from the CPU as I believe they both generate quite some heat and so they should be as far away as possible from eachother. In CPU-Z I have a link width for the graphic interface of "x8" with max supported of "x16". Is this something that is related to the slot and should I move the card to the slot closer to the CPU? Or is this something else? Is there a setting in the BIOS maybe that can address this?
Thanks!Both are correct information. The detected '1600MHz' is actually the factory stock speed from the IC chip of the RAMs. The readings of "1064.4MHz" is the running speed that the RAM is currently on so for DDR calculation, you have to multiple 1064.4MHz by 2 to get 2133MHz.
The reasons for 2 readings to be detected is due to your RAM being factory overclocked by manufacturer before it went on the retail shelves, which is very common. Most or any RAMs that you see with speed above 1600MHz are generally overclocked by manufacturer using 1600MHz RAMs for speed boost.
The graphics card slot will still runs at x16 with your card. -
G580 (2189) How Increasing dedicated video memory? (HD graphics 4000)
g580 (2189) i5-3230M hd Graphics 4000 video memory size is set only 32MB!! And there is not bios setting to increase memory to 64 or 128mb?? why?
Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
We are really sorry to hear about the issue you are facing,
Intel(R) video controllers do not have dedicated memory. They all use shared memory from the RAM installed on the system and reserved to the video controller through a technology called DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology), which dynamically adjust the amount depending on how much is needed.
The driver uses a small amount (~32MB) of driver for internal housekeeping purposes- that memory is taken at boot time. All other memory needed is dynamically allocated to graphics as it is needed - up to 1.7GB on a 4GB system. This is more than enough for all applications that you would be running.

Hope This Helps

In attempting to install recommended software updates I get a message that my startup disc is full. I have an iMac (intel-based) with 1GB memory. I suspect my iTunes library is using up much of the space (I have no movies installed and have already copied most of my photos to a DVD to free up space). If I follow the instructions to move my iTunes library to an external HD (can I use a flash drive?) will I have enough working memory to plug it back in for use when I want to access the library?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Moving libraries off the boot disk while doable is not very viable. It creates many new problems in backing up your data, as now you have more than one source to backup. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
My suggestion is to get at least two copies of all your essential data in one manner or another, and get a larger boot hard drive to replace what you currently use to be able to consolidate your libraries.
As for cleaning space, see my FAQ*:

I have an iMac with only 1Gb of memory and am running OS X 10.5.8; do I need to upgrade and if so, to what?
Michel PM and CRP 101, thanks for your replies.
My machine was purchased in 2007, I think. It's model iMac8.1 with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and CPU speed is 1.07 GHz.
What I am asking has to do more with the OS X opsys version than the size of the memory. My question is prompted by my son suggesting that I should upgrade and purchase MS Office and substitute for the factory-provided OpenOffice.org application.
Thanks!
