HP Pavilion dv 6730ew - Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS - fan speed

Hi,
After upgrade few packages:
kernel26 2.6.29.4-1
kernel26-firmware 2.6.29-1
nvidia 180.51-1
nvidia-utils 180.51-1
I observed strange work of fans. After start system, fans are working on full speed. This state persist for few minutes in spite of temperature of CPU and GPU is normal.
After that fans work normal (I think ) - they accelerate when load is big and slow down after.
UPDATE: I don't think that fans work normal. They work too fast and too ofteen without seriously reason.
With older version of this packages (kernel26-2.6.29.4-1 kernel26-firmware-2.6.29-1 nvidia-180.51-1 nvidia-utils-180.51-1) everything is normal, that's mean - fans doesn't start after boot, only during bigger load.
Have anyone similar observation?

I see, I have lucky, becouse my HP have in most Intel devices. Only fingerprint doesn't work but I really don't need it.
Back to my fan-problem - maybe "it's not bug, it's a feature"?
I have new observations. Probably that's not problem with acpi/kernel etc but with nvidia drivers. Always after wake up or start X, my graphic card switch on to 2 performance level and temperature of GPU growing to about 60 degrees (normal is about 50).
Why nvidia needs to switch to 2 level after wake up or start X?
------------- UPDATE:
Now, I'm sure that nvidia driver is guilty.
With Nvidia 180.18.14, GPU is still working on the fastest performance level so temperature grows and fan starts. Whatever I set in xorg.conf, performance level is always 2.
With nvidia 180.51 everything is normal. GPU switch level if it need or hold level that I set in xorg.conf
I have a GeForce 8400M GS - Have somebody this same card?

  • HP Pavilion 15-p050sq , NVIDIA GeForce 830M problem

    I just bought a new HP Pavilion 15-p050sq with Windows8.1Pro and after one day I realized the NVIDIA GeForce 830M graphics procesor is not used at all. I tried to set the NVIDIA GeForce 830M as preferred graphics processor but after I hit the "APPLY" button the setting just goes back to "Auto-select". I updated the last driver version from Nvidia (344.65) and also for the integrated bord Intel HD Graphics but the situation is the same.
     Please give me a solution.

    Hi @gulinb ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 15-p050sq Notebook and your NVIDIA GeForce 830m issues. Here is a document  that might help you. It is a different system but the Graphics are the same. If you notice the section on managing your updates as there is a section there to uncheck the Auto
    Windows will  always use the Intel GPU . The NVIDIA card is only utilized when configured specifically to run an application or when the notebook requires extra graphics processing power. Some settings may not be available for a software program. If a setting is not available, the NVIDIA Optimus technology does not support the software program for that setting.
    Here is a Youtube Video that might help you as well.
    Hope this helps you out.

    my problem is almost a week now after i reformat my laptop due to viruses that cause my laptop to get more slower even worst, then everything was fine all drivers are installed correctly but the display driver seems having problem, any possible solution for this matter? can i get the exact driver for my display?

    Well now you know what happens with newer drivers for your laptop - it really isn't compatible. This is the exact same issue I had with the my Pavilion notebook when I installed latest ones from my download site. So, I had to be satisfied with the one that came with my laptop & no newer versions that were released by HP for my model doesn't really suits my model.
    For the black-out you're having probably with the updated driver, enter SAFE MODE and do the restore OR use the last known good configuration in the Advanced Boot Options menu. To do this, just follow the Using Safe Mode at startup  or Using the last known good configuration in the Advanced Boot Options menu to return the computer to a previous restore point section detailed in this document , to restore to previous known good time or to a last known good configuration respectively.
    Could you provide me with the exact model name / model number of you laptop (like dv6500xx) . I'll look for the drivers again. If any previous versions are there.

  • Cover flow slow to scroll in Vista with Nvidia GeForce 8400M

    I recently purchased a new laptop with vista service pack 1. One issue is the cover flow motion is really slow to scroll compared to my last computer using xp. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

    I have had the same problem with my new Dell XPS notebook since I bought it in mid Feb. I have googled the problem and a lot of users are also having this problem. Cover flow mode is painfully slow and unuseable. If you find a fix, please post.

  • Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT Fan runs 24/7

    As soon as I boot the MacPro, the GeForce fan automatically turns on and stays on.  This started after using a 2nd monitor for several weeks (Viewsonic 24" sitting side-by-side with a 23" Apple Cinema display).  I have since unplugged the Viewsonic and the issue persist.
    The Mac Pro is a 2009 Intel duel quad core system with 6 gig ram.
    Are their any utilities that I can run to do a diagnostic check on the card.  To date, I have no error message or any indication that the card is damaged.  When the second monitor is plugged in, both work fine. 
    Any suggestions are appreciated. 

    The card may be having trouble keeping itself cool driving the two monitors for some odd reason.  I do recommend you blow out all the dust in your machine if you haven't done that recently.
    Try smc reset when adding or removing the monitors.
    You may want to consider adding a temperature monitor utility like iStat Pro, Hardware Monitor, Temperature Monitor, iStat Menus.  Then you can monitor various components to see if they are overheating.  It varies from utility to utility and Mac Pro models what you can measure.  For example I want to measure my video card temp in pci slot 1 (2010 mac pro).  But I cannot measure the video card directly but I can measure the temperature of pci slot 1.  I use iStat Menus for this.

    Hello saurabh20,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the computer is experiencing NVIDIA graphics issues. I'll see what I can to help. Right now, I'm just going to suggest an uninstall and reinstall of the driver:
    1. Go into Device Manager, then Display adapters.
    2. Right-click on the NVIDIA driver, and select "Uninstall".
    3. Do not restart the computer. Instead, download and install one of the following drivers, based on which OS you have:
    Windows 8.1: NVIDIA Graphics Driver
    Windows 7: NVIDIA Graphics Driver
    Please let me know what happens. Thanks!

  • NVIDIA GeForce 650M Code 43 Error on Pavilion dv6t

    Hi all,
    I have recently been browsing in my Device Manager window and found that under display adaptors my NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics adapter has a yellow flag on it. When I open the device, the device status reads:
    "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
    I have tried reinstalling every possible driver for the 650M but nothing seems to work. Windows seems to be defaulting to the on-board Intel HD Graphics 4000 and I cannot disable it while enabling the 650M. I talked with HP tech support who said to go into my BIOS and disable the HD graphics BUT BUT BUT my BIOS had no settings to change the boot-up graphics device.
    Any help would be great.
    My setup includes:
    -Pavilion dv6
    -BIOS version F.13 (Insyde)

  • Hp Pavilion dv4 , nVidia Geforce 105 m can be upgraded and replaced ??

    PN : Hp pavilion dv4t-1400

    nVidia Geforce 105 m can be upgraded and replaced ??

    Hi:
    Unfortunately, video adapters on most notebooks (including yours), cannot be upgraded or replaced unless the entire motherboard is replaced.
    That would only be done if there is a motherboard available for your model with better graphics.
    Below is the service manual for your notebook. I only see 3 motherboards listed, two of them for the discrete video. One allows for 256 MB of memory and the other, 512MB.
    http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01597750/c01597750.pdf
    Definitely not worth the cost or hassle for an extra 256 MB of memory.

  • HP Pavilion p6510f Desktop intermittent failures - Antec 25 430 WATT Power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650

    After installing a new power supply and video card (Antec 25 430 WATT Power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650), my system became unstable.  It worked fine for the first 3-4 hours then had a BSOD (blue screen of death) with kernel_data_inpage_error 0000007A and later a critical process failure 000000F4.  I've done all of the tests listed on this page as well as removed and replaced the cmos battery:
    http://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal_error/KERNEL-DATA-INPAGE-ERROR-0x0000007A-*1137.html
    All of the tests passed and no problems were found and yet the system still fails after 3-4 hours of use.  
    So, I removed everything from my system and restored it to it's original settings.  It seems to be back to normal now (but, we'll see for how long).
    This experience has demoralized me.  This is due to the fact that I've heard of others having difficulties trying to upgrade their systems.  Seems like there is about a 50% success rate unless you know what works from past experience.  I feel that the only way to get a system that has good graphics now is a well tested gaming box (PS3, XBOX, or Wii).  Is there any recommended or possibly well tested setups for this type of system that could give me the quality of a GEFORCE GTX 650 without causing blue screens or cause instability for my computer?
    Since this computer comes with ATI and AMD parts, I presume maybe getting an ATI or AMD graphics card would work?  Regardless of the graphics card, the 250W power that comes with this system would most likely need to be replaced.  Are there are any power supplys that you recommend or possibly tested?
    I realize there are a few questions in this post, but I have one more.  Are there any motherboard analysis tools to enusre nothing has gone wrong with the mother board?  When the blue screens were occurring it seemed to make strange noises from the hard drive as it it were thrashing and after rebooting it would sometimes fail to recognize the existance of the hard drive as well.  Since all of the hard drive tests were successful (I also ran SeaTools), this leads me to believe that the power is inssuficient, but I'm now fearful that if I upgrade the power it will only cause more problems.

    View Solution.

    So, using the standard setup still makes strange noises at various intervals, but not as frequently.  I have a bad feeling that it has caused disk drive problems based on the fact that:
    1)  Strange noises are now occuring during particular load times (although rarely)
    2)  Computer crashes (although, it no longer crashes now that I'm back in it's regular setup)
    3)  Occassionall it has really slow access times
    These symptoms fall into the category of a failing drive based on the following site:
    http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/how-to-tell-when-your-hard-drive-is-going-to-fail.html
    I'm going to return the power supply and game card and look to investing in a new hard drive in case this one finally decides to go to valhalla.

  • Can I run a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970?

    I posted something similar before but can someone tell me if I have the right cooling, motherboard ect. to run a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. I have a HP Pavilion 500-319na and the product number is G9B00EA#ABU. I know I need a better power supply which is why is I'm upgrading to 500w. Btw the reason I'm asking is because I have no idea about unscrewing my computer and checking the motherboard and all of that so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi, You might want to search the forum for "500-319na" as there have been numerous posts with that model.

  • Problem with NVIDIA GeForce GT 610

    Hello,
    I bought a Graphic card, NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 but still is not working.
    The PC where it is installed is HP Pavilion G5400it.
    I don't understand if the problem is the PSU or something else.
    The label of the pc's PSU show MAx. OUTPUT POWER: 300
    I have installed many times the drivers, tried to reset CMS update bios and so on but nothing works.
    If the problem is the Power Supply can someone address me to one that can fit without burn the PC?

    Hello jekkino,
    You probably need to install a new power supply.
    Your current power supply is max at 300 and the graphics card has minimum of 300 and everything in the system needs power.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • Multiple Monitor Setup for HPE-180t w/ NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 (only one DVI port)

    I am wanting to connect mutliple montitors via DVI connection to my HPE-180t.  My graphics card is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 which has 3 ports (VGA, HDMI, DVI) and does support mutli monitor display.  What is the best way for me to connect multiple monitors to my desktop?  I would like for all of them to be connected via DVI. 
    Thank you so much,
    Angela

    What is the end goal you are attempting to acheive?  Are you looking to clone all three monitors or each monitor to be independent of the other (extended display)?
    This document covers how to configure the monitors in Windows 7.  I didn't see the GT 220 listed in the specifications, so I take it this is one purchased separately for the unit.  Most video cards require multiple monitors to be connected to a different port (to truly achieve a multiple monitor setup).  Since the card only has one DVI port, then the other ports (HDMI and VGA will need DVI adapters).  An example of an HDMI - DVI adapter can be found here. 
    The tricky part will be using the VGA - DVI adapter as DVI ports are typically DVI-D which makes it a pure digital signal.  VGA is analog, so the adapter will need to be special if the monitor is using a DVI-D port.  If it is a DVI-A or DVI-I port, then a standard VGA - DVI adapter will work.  If it is a DVI-D port, you will need an active VGA - DVI adapter.  If it is DVI-A/I, then a passive adapter will work.  This is an example of an Active VGA - DVI adapter.  For that adapter, a VGA cable will need to be connected to the VGA port with that end connected to the VGA side of the adapter and then being connected to the DVI port of the monitor. 
    Provided the video card supports 3 monitors, this would allow all monitors to have a DVI connection.  Keep in mind that the VGA port will still deliver an analog signal as opposed to the DVI and HDMI ports.  The card specifications do not really say how many monitors it supports, but it most likely does support three monitors.
