HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo GPU drivers don't work on Win8.1 and ones for Win7 are older than my grandma

I got
HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo
i7-2670QM 2.2 GHz
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
1TB SATA 5400RPM
AMD Radeon HD 6770M - 2 GB GDDR5 out of ~6GB dedicated
Installed the latest version of Win 8.1 + all it's updates + the update 1. So it's as latest as possible. Even installed those Win Updates that MS threatened they will only offer to a certain point it time in May and not later than that. So it's all updated.
However, the GPU drivers don't work. Tried different forums too and even tried those brightness registry fix files, but still to no avail. Will HP ever provide a meaningful GPU driver both for Win7 and Win8? I am saying Win7 too, cos the one offered currently for my HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo is ridiculously old ....

HP are quiet .. they know they've been lazy ...

HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo SSD upgrade

Hi
I have the HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo and I made a post here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/HP-Pavilion-dv7-6b76eo-upgrade-HDD-SDD/td-p/3913164
but since no one replies I had to make a new post.
I have 2 slots on my motherboard, currently only the 1 being used of my HDD, which is slow and sux! I want to slot in an SSD next to my HDD and have my operating systems on the SSD and the HDD as storage... pretty straightforward, eh? It is!
Just wanna know now if it matter about the SSD's producer. The Service manual PDF from HP for my PC (found here - http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03043778.pdf ) tells me only that my pc supports the HP 160 GB (665985-001) solid-state drive found here - http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=665985-001 and it does not look too promising, in my opinion.
What if I want something else? How do I know if it will be compatible or not? Are they all compatible? Would you recommend me any producer. Anything to stay away from or any specific producer of SSD that I should use for upgrading my HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo?
PS
On my HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo the processor and chipset are from Intel, not AMD, in case that is important to be mention in this context.

Hi,
My suggestion:
Clone existing HDD to new SSD (try Samsung, Crucial ...) then install new SSD on the primary slot, this will save a lot of hassles.
Format the old HDD, buy caddy & cable then install it on the second slot.
1. There are many clone software around, you can buy one or try the following free:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-free-and-reliable-cloning-tools/
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-drive-cloning-software.htm
Some SSD vendors supply conling software for you too, normally you have to pay $10 to $15 more.
2. Caddy and cable:

HP CM1312MPF drivers don't work via Windows 7 but works fine via Linux dual booting

HP CM1312MPF drivers don't seem work using Windows 7 (64-bit) . Original HP drivers CD now lost. Current drivers were downloaded from HP's website. (This webpage has a number of drivers and most 64-bit ones have been tried. Prior to my Windows re-install, the machine printed and scanned satifactoralily in Windows 7. One day this O/S refused to boot and had to be fully re-installed. The reinstall has been tried on both a SSD and on a HDD. (I have 3 x HDDs and 1 x SSD in this Desktop system. and I dual boot Windows7 and Linux Mint with data on its own HDD.) No attempt has yet been made to scan after this Windows re-install, as I have a separate photo scanner. I mainly wish on the to print on CM1312MPF, however it did scan perfectly well prior to the reinstall of Windows. THE CM1312MPF PRINTS FINE VIA THE SAME USB OUTPUT LEAD (AND POWERED HUB) AS VIA LINUX MINT 17 (PETRA) when I dual boot and without any PHYSICAL CHANGES between changing O/Ss. It must be a driver problem, surely, mustn't it? I look forward to your help. John_of_Penrith

You can also disable that windows wireless "Critter" from device manager and it shouldn't ever again show-up in your adapter list. Thanks for the lesson. I too have wondered about the windows virtual adapter and what it's for. I never had it show-up in my adapters though in the network and sharing center. That was strange that it happened to you. I also occasionally just go to device manager and reload the adapter that came with laptop-not the windows one. It
seems to keep it running fairly well since there have been no new drivers for it. I think it was an experiment or something called the DW1501 Wireless half-mini n that came with my Dell Inspiron N7010 laptop. I don't particularly like it as compared to the other wireless adapters in my home, this thing is slow on downloads, but I don't want to bother to get a new adapter.
Anyhow thanks for the interesting lesson.

64 bit HP drivers don't work reliably over a network

Running Win 7 64 bit clients, and server 2008. HP's own drivers are very unreliable. Printers work ok for a while, and then for no reason start outputting garbage. Changing print driver to universal sometimes resolves the issue for a time, but garbage ensues again. Newer Laser printers like p3015dn don't run properly on the drivers supplied on disk, and HP website only provides universal, which only allow single page printing. Has anyone got a solution to this, other than binning all our HP printers (around 60) ? Additionally we have several of the same model, some of which run on the correct drivers, and others that will not, under any circumstance.. It's driving me mad!!!

HP Pavilion DV7 1240us Express Card Slot Stopped Working

My express card slot stopped working.
The tech I was working with for the HP tuner card seems to think it is a driver or hardware issue.
Please see the email string below.
I tried all I know to get the slot to work, but I do not know which driver for it.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Below are the emails.
Thanks, the problem is I do not know which driver it is.
I looked through the entire device manager tree, and do not know which driver controls the express slot, can you send me in the right direction?
I have an HP Pavilion DV& 1240us laptop.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Without inserting another device into the slot the only thing I can think of is checking device manager for the drivers for that express slot and see if they are installed or reinstall the drivers.
If the device works on another laptop but continues to have problems on the first one then there must be something going on with the express slot on the first laptop.

No I do not, have you had this type of issue before?
Could it be missing or corrupt drivers?
Is there a way to test the slot without a device, checking drivers etc..

Yes it is connected directly, it does not even get recognized by device manager.
No default beep when plugging and unplugging.
IT USED TO WORK NO PROBLEM.
It will work in another laptop.
I am a tech by trade, so if I have to edit the registry, etc.. let me know.
Right now I am baffled, what can I do.

Hello,
Are you making sure to connect the 1500 directly into the express slot in the laptop and into a usb converter?
When it is plugged in does anything appear in device manager with a yellow mark next to it? Is it being listed under sound, video, game controllers at all?

Problem description: My tuner stopped working,I used HWclear to no avail.
The tuner works in another laptop, so it is not the hardware.
Will not make the customary sound when plugged and unplugged.
I am very PC savy and tried all I know, driver reinstall etc..
Please help.
Thanks

Hey there,
Can you explain more on this issue? I see by the emails the Express card slot is not functioning. What you are using in the card slot? Is the the HP TV Tuner card? If so, do you have another express card handy so you could test to see if it was the card or the slot? If your missing the driver you will need to use the HP Recovery CD to reinstall the TV Tuner driver.

HP Pavilion dv7-6166nr USB 3.0 Not Working

My two left USB 3.0 ports aren't working. In the Device Manager it doesn't find the drivers for them. I've searched the forums, tried other drivers, tried the drivers for the latest Renesas USB 3.0 Host Controller drivers and those don't work either. None of the drivers I download seem to work including the ones listed for my laptop on the HP.com support website.
Any help would be great, thank you.
I've also tried: USB3.0_allOS_2.1.28.1_PV.exe with no luck.

Creative ASIO drivers don't work properly with Cubase LE or WaveLab6

It seems that there is some problematic "interaction" between the Creative X-Fi Elite Pro sound card with the ASIO-driver based Audio Creation Mode console (ACMC) and "connected" ASIO applications like WaveLab 6 or Cubase LE.
I was using the SPDIF output from a DVD player. I created a audio PCM wav file at 24 bit/96 kHz with every sample in both left and right channels being identical with alternate bits set in each sample like so:
101010101010101010101010
When I record this SPDIF input stream with X-Fi Elite pro SPDIF-in using the RECORD section of ACMC with Bit-Accurate record mode set, the resultant recorded file is bit for bit identical to the source as expected. Great!
However when I record using Cubase LE and a project with 96 kHz sampling rate in a stereo channel with only the ASIO SPDIF L and R channels enabled, (keeping the ACMC with identical settings in the backgroun) the resultant wave file has lots of "noise" in the lowest 8 bits or so, almost like it was dithered. The same thing happens when I record using WaveLab 6.
So this seems to mean that somehow Creative's use of the ASIO driver in ACMC is not "sharing" the ASIO input bus signal properly with ASIO apps like CubaseLE and WaveLab6. For sure, the 24 bit audio recorded by Cubase or WaveLab6 is not "bit accurate" to the SPDIF input signal. I wonder what this means for the accuracy of details in recordings made with Cubase LE or WaveLab via Creative's ASIO driver??

GI've had enough of this creative broken windows 7 drivers issue...
selling my xtremegamer and buying an asus xonar dx card, hopefully that works fine. asus seems to at least update their drivers on a regular basis. I mean, the latest win 7 creative drivers are from '09...

Hi Sy,
First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53851.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
Now follow the directions under the sub-heading 'Adjust horizontal and vertical scrolling' in the document on the link below to configure the scroll options as you require.

Drivers, BIOS, and software on Lenovo site older than the enclosed

How come the drivers/BIOS/software listed on consumersupport.lenovo.com (for my G560) is older than the one I received on its D partition? E.g. BIOS is 2.08, whereas my laptop has 2.10 installed. The laptop was allegedly made in November 2010.

i suggest you not to update any drivers/bios if it's not necessary.
for bios issue, we've heard similar issue with ideapad systems. nevermind if you don't have any issue.

HT4528 I pulled my iPhone out of the docking station/speakers and now the ring tones don't work. Anyone know a fix for this?

Does anyone know if there is a fix for iPhone 4S when you pull it out of the docking station and now the ring tones don't work -- it only vibrates.

Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Do other sounds work?
Have you checked to see if the dock connector or headphone jack have debris in them?

Drivers for Pavilion dv1000 from HP website don't work! :(

Hello everyone.
I have an older HP Pavilion dv1000 laptop here that I am trying to reinstall XP Pro on.
It is XP Pro SP3 32-bit version.
I have performed a clean install - deleted all partition, reformatted, and installed XP.
That worked OK, but now I need to instal the drivers for things such as the sound and VGA etc.
I found the drivers on the HP website here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=43561...
I downloaded them all, but the probem is that NONE of them work.
I started with the audio driver - bargraph goes across, then reports that the install failed.
I then tried the VGA - Install package starts, then reports there is no supported hardware.
Can someone here give me a link to the CORRECT drivers please, as the HP website is obviously linking this model to the wrong driver files.
Thanks a bunch for anyone who takes the time to reply.
This question was solved.

YAY! - Everything is working!
Thanks.
