HP Pavillion dv7t-4180ea Overheating

T recently bought HP Pavillion dv7t-4180ea Entertainment Notebook. After installing updated drivers and Bios Updates I am having the problem with laptop shutdown because of overheating almost every 30 minutes. After restart it shows that system was shutdown to avoid overheating System Temperature 90<E> . I checked system heat diagnose software and most of them give me CPU and GPU temperature around 40-50 C . Can some body tell me what is the issue with the laptop. I tried to change the laptop location, give enough gap to avoid vents blockage. But stills it shutsdown in 30 minutes or so. It is just 2 week old so blocking to fan with dust seems not to be an issue.
Please help me immediately to solve the issue. I am really disappointed with current situation of laptop.
Thanks in anticipation.

Any help.......................?

Hp pavillion dv6 4023tx overheating

My laptop used to overheat until i dismatled fan & heatsink, before that i tried vacuming & blowing the vents, there was no difference, i found dust blocking the vents when i dismantled the fan, spent 2 years trying to find out why it was over heating, i even tried compressed air and that didnt work, i washed the heatsink and fins with a tooth brush and dishwashing detergent water to get the dust out, now my temps are between 38 and 80 before they were between 60 and 100 and constant hangs would occur now its fine

Would love it if hp releases a bios update to unlock the intel graphics for dual graphics option

HP Pavillion DV7t Battery & Hard-Drive

Battery:
My battery has been dead for a few months now and I just have been running it off of the charger cord. I've finally found a battery that will fit my laptop and is at a decent price, but that leads to my first question.
1.) Running your battery on straight charger power; is that going to decrease the overall performance of the laptop as there is no power reserver to pull extra juice if needed?
I've noticed my computer has been sluggish and freezes up every so often and I was wondering if the lack of power could do that?
If not, is it the hard-drive?
2.) Every so often, (like once every 2-3 months, maybe more) my laptop will start up and I get the "Windows needs to check for Disk Consistency", I let it run, but I've never seen it dish out any errors or warn me that my hard-drive may be failing.
When the chkdsk program runs, does that mean it recognizes that the hard-drive may be failing?
I haven't noticed any file corruptions, weird sounds, any of the obvious signs that my hard-drive was failing.
Also, what size is my hard-drive? I looked at the Manual and it says 70mm which is 2.7inch but the Hard-Drive I was contemplating replacing it with is 2.5. Would that fit?
Last question...
3.) Like I said, my computer is feeling sluggish, so I feel like it'd be a good time to maybe just wipe my computer and start out fresh. I've looked online and really haven't found any decent answers.
Is there a way to fully wipe my computer yet leave the OS (Windows 7) in tact?
I've went into the HP Recovery Manager and I can create a Boot Disk for my computer that would re-install the Hard-Drive if I did get a new one/fully wipe it, but unfortunately, the DVD+R cd's I have aren't compatible for some reason.
Anyway, hopefully someone can answer atleast one of my questions!
Thanks in advance!

The dead battery is not causing the performance issues. Power comes from either the battery OR the AC adapter; not both so the battery does not serve as a reserve of any kind.
The hard drive is more likely or it may just be a clogged up operating system. I first suggest a hard drive diagnosis from the BIOS....tap F10 as you power up and go into setup (BIOS) and look for the hard drive test. Run the long version and see if you get any errors. If the drive is OK, you might want to try CCleaner, a disk defragmentation, shutting off unnecessary startup programs and a full Malwarebytes scan; i.e. the typical computer "tuneup" and if that does not help then a wipe and restore of Windows.

DVD/CD RW drive not recognized by Windows 7

Since buying this laptop (HP Pavillion DV7T) I have had trouble with the DVD/CDRW drive not being recognized after a shutdown. This is an intermittant problem with no traceable cause. To fix this issue I have tried the following: Assigned the DVD/CDRW with the letter Y in case there was a drive conflict causing it; used the troubleshooter offered by Windows 7; uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers; checked for updated firmware.
If I run a scan for hardware changes, the drive shows up again, but only until the problem reoccurs. I am seeing this problem about 4 times a week. This issue will occur on about every other hard reboot, again, no real pattern that I can identify.
I have made a change to the system. I had to disable all hybernate options due to the "power state failure" bsod that I was seeing. I don't believe this change would cause any issues with the optical drive.

System Restore DVDs Vista vs Windows 7

I am brand new here and I appologize if this has been asked before. I looked around and tried searching but did not find my answer.
I just reveived my new HP Pavillion dv7t last night. The Notebook Essentials booklet says to create a set of System Restore DVDs, but that this can only be done one time. I am in the process if registering for the upgrade to Windows 7 snce it is due out in less than week.
Should I go ahead and create the System Restore DVD set with the Vista OS, and if I do will I then be able to create another System Restore DVD set for the Windows 7?
I would like to make sure I have a System Restore based on both of the operating systems in case I need to go back to Vista, but still have a System Restore for Windows 7 if it proves stable and I like the OS.
I hope this makes sense...
This question was solved.

Make your Vista Recovery DVD's. Two reasons...
1.you won't be able to make a Win 7 Recovery set, (unless HP offers some magic here).
2.if you install Win 7 and later need to reinstall it you will have to start over with Vista installation and do the upgrade process again (unless HP's version of upgrade works differently than retail version...haven't gotten an answer on that one).
Of course you could always use an Imaging app to make an image of the freshly installed Win 7 to use in the event of a reinstall.Acronis True Image or Macrium Reflect are 2 good choices.Macrium is my preference.

Blu Ray CD/DVD+/-/RW Will burn CDs but not DVDs

To whom it may concern:
I just purchased a pavillion dv7T laptop no more than 5 days ago and it will not burn DVDs. I've been able to burn CDs without a problem, both music and date. I've been able to play CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs without a problem. I've also been able to copy/rip DVDs on to my hard drive. However, when i try to burn DVDs it keeps giving me a failed/error message with both Windows Media and the Cyberlink software that came with the computer.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I've talked to customer service (who's located in the middle east) twice and they've yet to help me fix the problem.

Try a different brand of media and if you are trying to burn DVD -R try +R or vice versa. Slow down the burn speed a notch. Make sure all other programs are closed before you try to burn.

Awesome! Can't believe they sent us a recommended update that has serious issues like that. I will be much more cautious with future updates! Glad I could help you resolve it.....I was in major panic mode when it happened and I looked at some of the forums...

Does factory warranty cover broken hinge?

We purchased a HP Pavillion dv7t-4100 CTO Notebook on December 8, 2010. The factory warranty is in effect until 12-15-2012. The left hinge has broken, and we cannot close the lid. We attempted to fix the hinge ourself, but to no avail. Is this something that is covered under the warranty?

Replacing overheated HP Pavillion DV9000 motherboard with Windows 7 capable motherboard?

I have a HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop (P/N RU971UA#ABA) that was given to me to fix the black screen problem, about one and half years ago. I tried once the reflow method on youtube to no avail. This laptop came with Vista Home Premium installed, with 2 GB memory. I want to purchased a new upgradable motherboard that will fit my original case, but has the capabilies of upgrading to Windows 7, 64-Bit, and at least 4 GB of memory. If there is no such motherboard, I want a permanent fix to this motherboard. This laptop boots up as normal, ( correct beeps), but without the screen. Can someone suggest a fix or repair shop?

First let me thank you for your response. So now, I'm stuck with a beautiful HP laptop, that can't be fixed, and HP will not assist with a overheating problem that they created with it's design of this model. This truly feels suckey. Poor HP, everyone who brought this model should be given a refund. So, it's pay for amother DV9000 motherboard or buy another laptop? I'm going to do some research and write a few letters, and see what that will get me. Thank you again.
That won't do much for the laptop since you already did the reflow and it failed. You should look on ebay for another board that was properly fixed and buy that and swap out your board. At least that way you will still have a functional laptop to be used for now til you go and by another laptop that doesn't have this history of problems.

DV7 Pavillion Overheating

I have DV7 3112sa, just out of hp warranty,
Unit overheating, fan constantly on, noisy even when unit is closed. Unit hangs etc, can't shut down so often have to resort to removing and re-inserting the battery pack to power up computer again. Have recently had heatsink replaced to no avail. I have to be extremely careful that unit is turned off completely due to overheating it has caused buckling to my countertop due to excessive heat.
Obviously its a MBD/fan issue.
I am quite surprised that HP has not issued a recall notice on this product, judging by the amount of posts regarding the issue, there is a serious health and safety concern. I seem to recollect a major multinational computer manufacturer not so long ago recalling all battery packs due to the possible fire hazard risk associated with the overheating of their battery pack, in and out of warranty..

Hi,

Problem with HP pavillion dv7 giving message (a problem with the internal fan enter = shutdown

HP Pavillion DV7 notebook PC
Windows 7 64
intel I5
6 gig memory
service pack 1
I am trying to identify a problem with my HP Pavillion dv7 laptop
Several months ago it started getting hot and showing messages about problems with the internal fan and battery. It would say enter = shutdown and shut off. I suspected a bad battery so I checked it without it just plugging it in with the power cable. It seemed to work better so I assumed that was the problem.
I ordered a new battery and it worked for a while. The problem came back and is getting worse. I can run it without the battery for a while but it gets got and shows the same message.
I read on here that flashing and updating the bios worked for some but the latest update gives me an error IHISI not support BIOS then Insyde flash not supported.
any help would be great this PC has a lot of info on it and I dont think it is a lost cause
thanks

Is my system DV7t-3300, or DV7t Quad Edition? And how to add more memory to it?

Dear forum,
I have an old notebook computer bought back in March 2010. It's a DV7t series. As it's getting slowly, I'm thinking of adding more memory. However, I'm not sure how much memory the motherboard can support for the upgrade.
I'm stuck with the first step, which is to decide the model number (and then motherboard) of it.
My original order email states the following:
YOUR CUSTOMIZED HP PC
dv7t quad edition
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
• FREE Upgrade to 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 3GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 320M - For i7-720QM and i7-820QM Processors
• 17.3" diagonal HD+ High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1600 x 900)
• LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
• Webcam Only
• Intel Wireless-N Card with Bluetooth
• HP Integrated HDTV Hybrid Tuner
• HP Color Matching Keyboard
• 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• No Modem
• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
• HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope
However, the bottom of the notebook computer has a label that specifies the following:
Pavillion dv7
Serial: omitted
Product: WH764AV
Model: Q dv7t-3300.
I visited some memory buying website like 'crucial.com'. However, I was prompted to select the model and there were both dv7t-3300 CTO and dv7t Quad Edition. Unfortunately, they resulted in different kinds of memory (although the specs of the sugested memory modules seem to be the same, these two memory modules have different model numbers).
So, what model number my system has? 3300 CTO or Quad Edition?
Perhaps a suitable model number would tell me which motherboard this notebook has. Additionally, can anyone advice me about on how much memory my notebook can support (8GB or 16GB) maximum?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Max is 8Gb using the following manual:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01859666.pdf
And from the following site:
https://www.ramcity.com.au/upgrade/hp-compaq/pavilion-dv7-series-notebook/dv7t-3300-cto/73893
The above manual shows you how to add/replace RAM. Looks like you have to buy 2 x 4Gb sticks.
Regards.

ENVY 17 3D - overheating, no surprise, but suddenly CPU does excessively

since HP has really managed to kill the envy line and merge it with the pavillion dv line, branding low quality poor hardware pavillions envy, i am still using my old, real envy 17 3d 1195ea aside from the brilliant elitebook workstations, because its only capable successor, the 17 3200 line, isnt available for purchase anymore, and anything newer (envy j#### line) is low-mid-end consumer crap.
now that the envy 1000 line overheats as soon as it is powered on is no news, i have been able to manage it quite well by opening it up monthly and cleaning it inside, even repasted the GPU & CPU some 3 months ago, which made the temps decrease by 10 degrees generally.
however since several weeks i am experiencing some really strange and excessive CPU overheating (although the 5850m GPU was the one overheating mostly firs until now).
it idles at 65-85, but with each burst (happening several times in a second), it reaches 99-100 degrees for a fraction of a second. ie. the temps jump constantly up to 100.
firing up something really stressing, as a game (CS:GO - since its cpu bound) or an app stressing the CPU, makes the CPU reach 100 degrees within less than 1-2 mins, leading to heavy throttling and ergo major performance hits.
even heavily GPU-bound games keep the GPU at 90-95 degrees (from my experience in the past, during bad times the GPU starts throttling at 104 degrees, so no issue at all), while the CPU gets up to 100 and throttles.
now my question - is the only explanation for this that the thermal paste became dysfunctional? ie. repasting it would solve it?
or can anything else be the reason for this?
thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

There is a spring limiter on the heatsink attachment screws so you cannot overtorque and cause damage. If you do this properly you put a small b*b sized drop of thermal compound then torque down the heatsink then remove it again briefly to be sure the paste has spread out from pressure. If it has then the heatsink is attached tightly enough.

You have my sympathy. I have a Pavillion tx1000 whose only possible use is boiling the water for my tea each morning and HP has yet to issue a recall.

DV7T quad core fan on and off on and off repeatly

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone experience this fan problem. Just today, I opened quite a few chrome tabs, maybe like 50 or so. And after a few hours of usage, suddenly the fan started to turn on and off on and off at every 1 second interval. So I shut down the laptop and restarted it. Of course now it's back to normal. But could this be a symptom of something in the hardware? Overheating? Too many application open? Any hardware fault detection program that can find the problem?
(I do quite a bit of high graphics gaming on this laptop sometimes and never experienced any problem before)

Hi Rainallthetime,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP dv7t Notebook not working correctly. Here is a link on Overheating. The overheating could cause the computer to keep shutting down or the fans not working constantly. I would also check to make sure your BIOS does not need updating.
50 open Windows in Chrome is likely to cause overheating and then shutting down.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
