HP Pavilion dv7-6187cl (17") crash dump

My HP Pavilion dv7-6187cl (17") is showing a fan problem and crashes (BSOD) after 20-30 min of working. Any advice Please? Is there a service manual available to change the fan assembly myself? Is it an easy task? Any comments will be appreciated.Thank you

You can be pretty sure it is the fan.
Here is the Manual:

This is not easy but is doable if you pay attention and are careful. A big part of it is properly applying thermal compound. Spread it very thin and not too much.

Pavilion dv7 blue screening - HP support assistant cannot test BIOS or memory modules but BIOS can?

About a month ago my dv7 started doing something strange - during normal use (not gaming, just word processing, showing a powerpoint presentation, showing a video on youtube, etc.) the cooling fan speed would suddenly ramp up to jet-engine speed and shortly thereafter the computer would blue screen, crash dump, etc. (no, I did not write down any info from the blue screen message - I will do so next time). Having experienced a blue screen issue with a Dell laptop I thought the hard drive was going bad, because about the same time I was suddenly unable to run a backup of the hard drive. After several attempts, I was finally able to backup the hard drive, and then replaced it with a new drive, re-installed OS with my recovery flash drive, worked through all of the windows updates that were recommended, and thought everything would be good to go. Now I have no problems backing up hard drive, etc. Then on day 2, after only a few hours of use, the cooling fan speed suddenly ramped up again and the blue screen returned.
A friend who is a tech suggested running HP diagnostics on everything, so I rebooted, hit F2, and started by testing the hard drive; as expected, no problems there. I next tried to test the memory (8192 MB total in two modules), and the test failed. I also tried testing the BIOS, and that too failed. The HP diagnostics reported that it couldn't even read the BIOS. Hmmm, strange. So I re-booted, hit F10, and went into the BIOS (BIOS date 10/5/11, revision F.1B). I HAVE NOT IN ANY WAY MODIFIED THE BIOS - I'm good, but not that good. Via the BIOS test utility, I tested both memory modules independently and then together, and everything checked out fine. I also tried switching modules between slots and re-tested via the BIOS utility, and that too checked out. I then returned to the HP diagnostics utility and tried re-testing the memory (both modules together - failed, one module at a time - both failed, in both slots).
HP tech experts, can you give me any guidance? This has been a great machine for me, I have taken good care of it, and am hoping to get a few more years out of it (I'm a middle-school science teacher, can't afford another one at this point). If I can't find a fix, I may have to go back to using my antique overhead projector in my classroom...

Hi @h20roks ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv7 and getting the BSOD and shutting down. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. Not rollback.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that could need updating.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and HP Pavilion dv7-7073ca

1. HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and HP Pavilion dv7-7073ca
2. Operating System
Windows 7 64-bit
3. Error messsage: Blue Screen and Crash. Can't PRINT Wirelessly or Wired + Blue Screen Of Death when printing a document with Microsoft Office. It then restarted the entire computer.
It might have said something about BIOS
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
No, all I did was install the software that came on the Officejet disc
I don't know what to do. I tried to create an adhoc network, and that didn't work. I tried to connect it via usb cable and the whole computer crashed. I tried to set up a router and then it would not connect to the internet.
Why is this design so flawed? Every wireless printer I have had does this and will not work easily or permanently. You should just be able to connect instantly to your computer and voila, you can print. But nothing seems to work. Mind you, the constant variable here is me, and I have little patience for spending days trying to get this to work. But I am a student, and this is holding back valuable study time.
What do I do???
Any advice appreciated...can someone tell me step by step how to do this? I followed the instructions in the books, but ended up well...you know, so that's why I'm here.

I had the same issue, officejet pro 8600 plus causing blue screen of death on my new computer. After several frustrating months trying everything, I fould that my new computer has 3.1 USB ports, this printer doesnt like them, they need a 2.1 USB port.
For whatever reason USB ports are not backwards compatible, so I plugged the USB cable into the 2.1 port and no more crashes.
3.1 ports are blue, 2.1 ports are black ( the plastic inside)
Hope this helps

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC graphics card issues

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC (Product number: QG704EA#B1A) with an AMD radeon HD 6700M graphics card. Most of my games crash, im always given a graphical error, i experience freezes, lagging and general overheating. This only happens when playing games.
I have done every update Intel, radeon and hp offers and nothing works including bios updates. All my research tells me its just a bad compatibility with the graphics card. Can that really be true? Have i wasted over a thousand euro on just bad hardware??
My warrenty expired already, i had no idea this could happen with a laptop.

Pavilion dv7-3155el eSATA problem

Hello,
I've recently bought an external hard drive, a Seagate GoFlex Pro with an eSATA adapter module; when I connect it to my notebook, a Pavilion dv7-3155el (product code WG610EA#ABZ with Windows 7 64bit), at first the device is detected by the system, but after a few second Windows becames unresponsive for a quite an then the device it disappers. It happens often that the device starts apparing and disapperaring in a sort of loop. Sometimes Windows asks me to format the drive, but even this action is useless since after formatting, the drive disappers again.
I've tried updating the firmware from revision F.15 to F.1D A, but this has not resolved the problem.
If I change the external hard drive connector module to USB 2.0, the drive works well, but I would like to take advantage of eSATA greater speed to perform my backups.
I thank you for any advice you can give me...
Alessandro

I've just tried to install the last version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver (sp46531); now, when I connect the external esata harddrive, it is detected and the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Console opens showing the three disks of my notebook (two internal ones and the Seagate GoFlex), but if I try to use it, the system hangs for about 30 seconds then the screen goes black and then back again after the system restores the NVidia driver which is signalled to e crashed.
The external hard drive continues disappearing and when reappers, the system hangs again.
I've been able to save a report from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Console; I'm writing it down here after:

Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M.
So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics?
If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.
It has an Intel Core i7- 3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (5400 rpm).
I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit).

Hi,
You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink.
Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

Pavilion dv7 - Can I add a second hard drive?

I have an HP Pavilion dv7 2173cl laptop. I've read that I can add a second internal hard drive. Is that correct? If so, what is the max size that it will take? Any special type that I should buy?
Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
This model allows to use 2 HDD's. Max capacity is 500 GB.
To install second drive you will need Hard Drive Caddy and Cable Connector. You may buy them here.
Here is service documentation for your model. On page 46 you may check where you may install secondary hard drive.

Graphic card for hp pavilion dv7-3152

Hi all!
I have a hp pavilion dv7-3152ca I bought some time ago. For some weeks now, the laptop became a bit strange, shutting down by itself randomly with Power Kernel error 41 on win7 64.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=fr&lc=fr&dlc=fr&docname=c02143694
After checking some place, i've seen it could come from overheating so cleaning would be a good move. After disassembling the whole thing (you have to remove any single part to do such!), problem still occurs. So it does not come from heating.
I know it can come from several thing but as my video card is messy for a while (the vga output does not work anymore, had to buy a hdmi to vga converter to use laptop for ppt), I guess it could be the reason.
Now, problem: which card and where to buy!?
What kind of specs should i check for? I mean on pc, it's easy with mobo, you can get ref but for laptop... and as the laptop is not anymore under warranty, no way to get any kind of support from HP (good job guys, way to go...)
Any inputs?
Thanks

If the video card is bad, it will mean replacing the whole motherboard. The video chip is soldered to it. If you need help finding the part let us know.

HP Pavilion dv7 doesn't start and I can't install operating system

Product: HP Pavilion dv7-1125eo
p/n: NA034EA#UUW
I had Windows 8.1 Pro and I did a virus scan with Malwarebytes-program but I think that it completed before this and didn't find anything. I were also using Youtube and suddenly my computer turned off and it didn't find my hard disk anymore.
I got errors like:
03F0
hard disk not exist
boot device not found 3F0
no bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key
Diagnostic log shows that I have had that 03F0 and also 0601 error before, but somehow I made my computer to work again. In BIOS it didn't show that there is hard disk, can't test it, but it was an option in boot order, maybe it is always there I don't know.
I tried a trick that going to BIOS five times and always save changes and exit. That kind of worked and I were able to use Windows like 15 min but then computer turned off.
Windows repairing things:
Windows Automatic repair -> The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again.
Startup repair -> Startup repair couldn't repair your PC.
I used live Linux Mint from my USB stick and it worked good. I formatted my USB stick and tried to reinstall Windows but if I remember correctly it didn't recognize my hard drive.
I thought that maybe my hard disk is broken and I took my Fujitsu Siemens Storagebird Serial ATA WD 250GB external hard drive out of its case and put it inside my laptop. It fitted there well so I tried to install windows into that. First it didn't recognize that hard drive either but when I tried many times and changed it inside laptop between slot 1 and 2
it finally showed in Windows installation screen. Installing always stopped at 16 or 19% and formatting didn't help.
I also formatted my USB stick and made it installation media again but same thing.
Then I thought that maybe I have wrong Windows 8 Pro product key, an upgrade only so I tried to install Windows Vista because it were a factory installed OS. It either didn't recognize my hard drive in Windows installing screen, but this one can be tested in BIOS.
Taking CMOS battery out for hours and trying with only one memory or both hard disks didn't work.
Do I need to install some drivers from DVD during the Windows installation or is the hard disk connections broken or what is the problem? Can't I repair it by myself?
I'm tired of trying these magic tricks so I really hope that someone can help me. Otherwise I need to buy a new laptop or use it with my USB stick and its live Linux ;( Also battery is dead so it doesn't exist anymore and fan makes noises sometimes and computer gets hot. I'm getting amused when trying to fix it even though almost nothing doesn't work anymore but it's hard to let go of it because I have repaired it so many times and even though it's old it's been working the last year well before this
I didn't know where to post this because I don't know what the real problem is.

Hey @mnbvc ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're unable to install Windows on another HDD after experiencing an HDD failure.
The hard drive not found error would indicate the drive has failed. Not being able to test the drive confirms this.
-Source: Resolve Boot Device not Found Error Message.
The upgrade key you use only applies to the Windows Upgrade ISO and will not allow a fresh install of the operating system if it has nothing to build on, so you are correct in trying the Vista install. When you attempt to install VIsta are you using the HP Recovery Media or are you using the Windows Vista ISO? I would assume the drive that was installed in your notebook was larger than 250GB and would explain why an HP Recovery would fail during formatting but would not explain why the install failed if it was a licensed Windows ISO.
Have you tried installing Linux onto the HDD instead of using a USB boot? This will help you test the validity of the HDD.
You can try downloading a version of Windows 8.1 and skip the license key to activate the 30 day trial. (Search Google for Windows 8.1 Pro ISO downloads). Once installed activate Windows using the license key you purchased for an upgrade which theoretically should work.
Let me know if that helps or if installing Linux to the HDD fails as well.

If you don't have HP Support Assistant on your system follow the instructions below to download it:
Where do I get HP Battery Check?
You can download the latest version of the HP Battery Check for Windows XP as a single program. Or you can do one of the following download and install it as part of the HP Support Assistant for Vista or Windows 7 for your model; or see HP Support Assistant (English Only) .
Make sure you have had your ac adapter plugged in to charge the battery for at least 30 min before running the test from Support Assistant to get an accurate result.
Hope this helps
