Pavilion dv6 QE CPU Issue

Hello. After I recently ran HP Support Assisstant for the first time since I got this notebook, I noticed a peculiar issue with my computer. Occasionally after some usage of my notebook I would look at my All CPU Meter and see that a single core out of the 8 would just randomly jump up to 100% usage and just hang there for a while. Usually when this happens, it is when I'm about to switch programs. Also when this issue starts happening and I try to shut off my computer, it will not shut off by itself and I need to hold the power button down for it to power down all the way. I think that Bins might be messing around with my notebook but that doesn't seem to be the case because when I turn it off it still happens occasionally.

Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3010ej with Core i3 350M, And I am interested in upgrading the CPU.
Is it possible to upgrade the CPU on this model? If possible, What are the options I have? I prefer Core i7
Your help is appreciated.
Please note that it has switchable graphics (ATI HD 5470 and Intel HD Graphics)
Thanks
Hi,
Have a look at this manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02657339.pdf
Your laptop (the motherboard) supports only dual core processors (Core i3 and i5..). Upgrade to a Core i7 processor means that you have to change the motherboard.

Pavilion Dv6-6146tx fan issues

Hi guys
Im having fan issues, where when i play games such as Saints Row 3 or Dirt 3, the fan will randomly cut out when the gpu temperature reaches about 75°C.
It is quiet hot where i live and room temperature is around 35°C
Is the fan cutting out due to the high ambient temperature, or is my fan just failing?
Any help would be great!
Edit: Here are the specs:
Intel core i7-2630qm @ 2.0ghz
AMD Radeon 6770m, 2GB GDDR5
8gb 1333mhz ram (2 x 4gb)
640gb HDD
Windows 7

Does the laptop shut down or the fan just cut off? We get a lot of posts here about hot dv6-6000 series. How old is the laptop? Opening it up and replacing the thermal compound might help. You can also go into power management and reduce the maximum cpu down a couple percent. For some reason that does not affect performance but lets it run a couple degrees cooler. As long as the fan spins at all the fan is not at fault.

HP Pavilion DV6 Sleep Mode Issue After Windows 10 Upgrade (Goes To Sleep After 2 Min Of Inactivity)

I recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The upgrade went smooth and everything appears to be running fine except for one anoying glitch. After approx. 2 min of inactivity my laptop atuomatically goes into sleep mode and logs me out. I have checked all my power settings/sleep settings/screen saver settings...etc and I have completed all the windows updates. I don't see any timers anywhere that require adjustment. Any help would be appreciated. Note: The laptop wakes up fine with no issues.

Hello Konacha, Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!I have read your thread regarding the computer entering sleep mode, upon Administrative prompts or a restart. There isn't a lot that could be done, but by the end of it, the issue should be resolved Hopefully, the simple fix is creating a new power plan. Your current power plan may be incorrectly configured. This Microsoft website can help with all the details of this task: Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme) If that doesn't help, then personally, I would reinstall the operating system. This will fix it, as it will address any software conflict or virus that could be causing this. First, you should backup your data. I will provide information on how to do that: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7) Once this is done, it is safe to do the System Recovery. Here is some information on how to do this: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks again for posting, and have a great day! Mario

Pavilion DV6-3134ca CPU replacement

So my laptop just recently died. I searched online and read that by looking at the Cap Locks blinking light will tell me what is wrong with the laptop.
1 blink then pulse means something wrong with the CPU. Im guessing that it means the CPU is toast.
Is it replaceable? I could not find any information on this.
Product #: XG886UA#ABC
it has the AMD Triple Core Phenom CPU.
Thanks

Hey gd6noob1,
This link has info on the blink codes: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=dk&docname=c01443366
It is possible to replace the CPU, however it is a fairly complicated procedure. I'd highly recommend that you contact HP Support (800-HP-INVENT) if the code indeed shows a CPU problem

Hp pavilion dv6 cpu not functional

Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion DV6 and after I press the power button the display remain black and the caps lock/num lock LEDs are flashing 1 time. I saw the LED flasing code and the error is CPU nou functional.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you.
Doru

normally the only way to resolve the issue is to replace the CPU, if the unit is in warranty then HP will do this free of charge
I would suggest doing the following 2 things first however:
Power drain:
remove battery and power cable
hold power button for 15 seconds
replace power cable only
power on
BIOS recovery:
hold Win+B and power on with these 2 keys held down
if the problem still persists after these 2 steps then the CPU needs replaced

Sound Issues HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello,
I have HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS. Recently I noticed issues with how my volume control works. I am not sure if it's an application issue (Firefox 9/10) or audio drivers. While watching playing an audio file or watching video my default playback device is set to speaker, but as soon as I plugin my headphones both headphones and speakers will go to mute. Some times disabling and re-enabling the device will solve this issue, and other than that I also have to restart Firefox to get the sound back.
Tried installing all the available updates form windows, also reinstalled/update the sound drivers as n admin with no possible fix. Also as shown in picture below, when I try to make a Google call using Firefox I use built-in mike an headphones. During that time headphones icon will be appeared in the window shown below listed as communication device and disable both audio in/out.
Let me know if any further information is required.
Thanks.

First uninstall the audio driver:
Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager. >> Audio, video and game controlar >> right click and uninstall all values under it >> restart >> download and install the following drivers:
BIOS

Wifi issue w/ HP Pavilion DV6

I've owned an HP Pavilion DV6 1030us for a couple of months now. Wifi issues didn't start showing up until a week after I purchased my laptop. I found out that there's a problem with the motherboard and sent in my laptop to HP for a repair, but when it came back a week later, it was still in the same condition as it was when I sent it. HP sent back a paper that confirmed that they had "repaired" my laptop, but all the problems I've had are still present.
Anyways, I'm just curious as to what I should do at this point... my warranty hasn't expired yet, so should I sent it back in for repair? I don't want to wait another week if everything is still going to be the same... school has already started... so any suggestions?
EDIT: Sorry this is in the wrong section...

Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. So you have done the first step. Checking connection to other wireless connection points.
Next would be to uninstall and reinstall the driver for your wifi.

Issue with Keyboard Special Characters in HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU

I am using a HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU notebook. I just had my Windows 7 Professional installed. When I @ using Shift + 2 it displays " (quotation marks). It is vice-versa as well, ie., when I type " using Shift ' it displays @ symbol. I as well have issue with typing the hash symbol. When I type Shift 3 it displays £ instead of hash symbol. This is a brand new laptop and I am using an external USB keyboard as well for my convenience. This problem is encountered in both keyboards (notebook keyboard and external keyboard) as well. What do I do now? It has become a literal mess with characters making it difficult most of the times. Kindly help

That looks like keyboard layout issue...Looks like your keyboard is set to UK english...to check that...
To check that, Click Start, type intl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards.
You should see 2 entries English (united States) and English (United Kingdom). If true, delete English (United Kingdom). That should take care of it...

HP Pavilion DV6 Webcam Issue.

I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6033cl with Windows 7 64 bit installed.
I have an issue with my webcam, it appears to turn on randomly every now and then.
Not longer than a week ago I thought this may have been a virus and I deleted my entire hard drive and installed Windows on the empty partition.
The webcam light just keeps turning on, I have no current software that uses it and i've only had windows reinstalled for about a week, I have a couple of virus protectors and nothing seems to make the webcam light stop until I restart the computer.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Sound Playback Issue with IDT High Definition Audio Codec HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

Since i bought this laptop, every time i use skype or the Windows Sound Recorder, i hear static that drastically increases in volume. Uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Codec prompts my computer to automatically install the driver again, this usually fixes the problem, but after restarting my laptop, the problem returns.
Does anyone know a permanent fix to this issue?
Product name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Product number: B3K22PA#ABG

Hi,
Please try:
(a) Uninstall IDT sound from Device Manager,

Try following the procedure under the sub-heading 'Let me fix it myself' on the link below to remove the Upper and Lower filters and see if this helps the issue. Although Windows 8 is not mentioned, the registry keys should be the same.

Windows7 HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC - Aeros Issues

Good Afternoon,
I'm having issues with my Aeros. There are blue/green vertical lines and picture/video distortions. I have tried to restore my notebook, didn't help. Troubleshooted through HP Support Assistant, found issues with my BIOS and Video card. Is there an update for theses that I can download and install?
Here's my Product number: XG874UA#ABA
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If the lines and distortion is seen in BIOS also then it is a hardware issue. It has to be with the graphics card. As the computer is still booting fine you can try updating the graphics drivers for some improvement.
HP Pavilion dv6-3143cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
or, Download the latest drivers from AMD driectly :
AMD Driver link
If the problem continues then you may have to contact HP Hardware support for repair.
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Upgrading the CPU in my HP Pavilion dv6-6b08sa Notebook PC

Hey there,
I am looking to upgrade my seemingly weak CPU so that my laptops performance may be noticeably improved, for things such as gaming. I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6b08sa Notebook PC, running a Windows 7 64-bit Operating System.
This is my current CPU:
Quad-Core AMD A6-3410MX APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 1600 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
If you require any more information about my laptop in order to help me, please ask and I will be happy to provide.
Please note that I do not want to have to upgrade any other components of my laptop, such as the motherboard, in case the CPU requires stronger/more powerful support, as money is a limitation. The cheaper the better, as long as the performance will be improved noticeably. Thank you.

Hello TooQuix,
I understand you want to upgrade your CPU is the correct? I will try and provide you the information that you need.
This document will provide you a list of processors available for this unit. Now because you have AMD installed originally, and you're using the same motherboard you will have to continue to use AMD.
If you turn to page 85 there is a list of processors, the part numbers are there as well to help your search. Also, if you plan on doing the work on your own the instructions on how to replace the processor is shown there as well.
I hope this helps.
If I have been helpful or if you'd like to say thank you for me trying to help, click the white star under my name to give me Kudos. I really appreciate it.
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Thanks
