Pavilion dv7 graphic card

i know that some notebooks can change their graphic cards and some are not.
Is my laptop able to change graphic card?
pavilion dv7
and it has graphic card of intel hd graphics family

Hi:
You would need to replace the entire motherboard to upgrade a graphics card in a dv7.
Certainly not worth the cost or labor.

HP Pavilion A6603W Graphics card upgrading help.

Current Graphics card:
GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i (integrated into motherboard as a chip)
Power supply#: ATX-250-12Z-REV-D7R (250 Watts I believe?)
Computer Model: ( HP Pavilion A6603W)
Problem: Trying to figure out which is the best graphics card to upgrade with to keep up to date with the current games, such as : Battlefield, bad company 2, Just cause 2, Amnesia: Dark descent.
Now as for the power supply, I am sure Ill need to upgrade that as well. But I found a pretty reasonable one online at fry's electronics:
http://www.frys.com/product/5503410
But as for the graphics card, I am completely lost here at what I kind I can buy and not buy. most of my games require to have at least DirectX10 or higher, which my graphics card only supports DirectX 9. I have also seen that some graphics cards require power slots? I am completely new to this and I would like to have support from users.
Oh and by the way, the minimum I can spend is 250$
any suggestions?
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Salko, to play the games that you mention, you will need a good mid-level video card. I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. The main thing to check is the length of the card. The newer cards that are 10" or longer may not fit in the space provided. With a PSU that is at least 500W, you have allot of choices.
The Antec PSU should be fine. However, I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's for superior clean, stable power. They are both enthusiast/gamer PSU manufacturers. Check Newegg for a PSU that has allot of reviews (read them) and is rated at least 4 eggs. This is a good indicator of the quality of the product from those who are using it.

Hp pavilion 1170uk graphics card compatability

I have a HP Pavilion 1170uk and have tried upgrading graphics card to a Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX770 4GB.
When I start the computer it stops at hp boot screen and says press esc to enter startup menu and beeps about every 10-15 seconds.
I have put in a new 700w psu to run the card and when I put the original graphics card that came with the computer it starts up fine with this psu.
This sounds like a bios problem and I have the latest bios from the hp website installed on machine.
Is there a new bios coming out or can I get one from anywhere to run this graphics card or do I have to upgrade the motherboard aswell ?

LeonaL, welcome to the forum.
There are two things to consider when upgrading to a dedicated video card: 1) the wattage required tto run it properly as you mentioned and 2) the length of the card.
You could easily get by with a 600W to 650W Corsair PSU. Corsair makes enthu siast quality PSU's for reasonable prices.
To assure that the card will fit, you can make a template the size of the card and try in the space provided. Add one inch for any additional power connectors on the card. It should fit with room for good airflow.
The reason for a video card not working in a computer is they require UEFI Firmware in the motherboard, instead of a standard BIOS.
EVGA video cards before the GT 650 don't require UEFI. You can call each manufacturer's Tech Support to asure that it will work in your computer.

Hp Pavilionn 2700t Graphics card

Hi all, I just bought a game for my laptop and aparently the graphics card doesn't support it. I am wondering if I am able to upgrade but I do not know if my laptop has an integrated graphics card. Can anyone help here? The product number is KQ654AV. The graphics card is a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Or is there any other way to increase the speed of my laptop? I am wanting to play Dawn of War 2, but it plays slowly...It doesn't require a great card, but obviously a better one than the one I have is needed for smoother gameplay. Any help would be great.

Pavilion Dv9548 graphics card went out need help!

Was told by geek squid at best buy that it possibley comes with an extra slot for a new graphics card if the main went out was hoping someone can give me info about it and if so can post a link for which card ill need

Wrong answer Geek Squid. No, sorry. The video card is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced. The motherboard can be replaced, or the video card can be repaired by a reflow. Geek Squid would have no idea what that is.
The dv9000 series with nVidia video has had massive failure rates. There is no good or reliable fix, just temporary patches. The best advice is to cut your losses and buy a new laptop. Again, sorry.

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.

Hi @arkas
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having some graphic problems. Did you install that ATI driver from the AMD website? If so that is the problem. You have switchable graphics meaning that you have two video cards. The Intel card is designed for your everyday basic graphics processing while the ATI card is designed to handle the heavy lifting. Switchable graphics drivers are configured by the manufacturer of the notebook not the manufacturer of the graphics card.
I would suggest that you install your AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver and your Intel High-Definition Graphics Driver. If you are looking for more information on switchable graphics this HP document Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs.

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.

Drivers assistance required for graphics card and fingerprint reader with W8 & Pavilion DV7-6B01ED

Hi - I own a HP Pavilion DV7-6B01ED and recently upgraded from W7 Home Premium to W8 Pro. Everything appeared to work fine except for the graphics card I have which now seems to always be on with the fan running, getting hot and running down the battery much more than before. I can not confirm what was reported as the graphics card in W7, but it is reported as the AMD 7000M after the upgrade. My invoice reports that it is a HD6490. Further to this, W8 reported an issue with this device in Device Manager.
Due to another issue (not hardware related) I decided to do a clean install of W8 which would also let me clean things up and to re-partition my disk.
In doing so I deleted the HP_TOOLS and the Recovery partitions. I'm not against recreating these but needed to delete them as I had 4 primary partitions and could not work within the restriction that comes with this. I understood from reading online that these can be recreated and the necessary tools re-installed (or another solution with DVD / USB employed). If the solution to my problems requires these to be installed, I'm happy to do so.
After the clean install, I continue to have the graphics card issue (same details as above) and the other issue I have is with the fingerprint reader. It shows up as an unknown device after W8 install (it did not have any issues after the initial upgrade I performed though).
So I've done plenty of things to try to rectify the issue and this includes installing the HP Support Assistant in the hope that this would help with the drivers. Instead of going through all the steps I've undertaken (I've read plenty in this HP forum and outside of the forum) and used certain W7 drivers, installed this that or the other program but unfortunately to no avail. I cannot get the fingerprint reader working and I still have a very hot and noisy laptop.
I'm good enough with OS and device driver installations and happy to get stuck into some unorthodox solutions if needs be. What can I do to resolve these issues?
Regarding the graphics card - is it a case that AMD have yet to release an updated driver? If so, I can live with that but in the meantime I would like to turn off the AMD card and work only with the integrated Intel graphics. Disabling the device in Device Manager does not seem to work. How do I do that?
The fingerprint reader is no big deal, but ideally I would like it working. What to do here?
If I need to do a re-install of W8 again and then get stuck into the driver installations I'm good with that, but would like to do it in a manner that will let me resolve these issues in the future without too much hassle.
The spec of my machine is: HP DV7-6B01ED 17.3FHD / i5-2430 / 8GB / 750GB HDD / HD6490
Thanks!

Hello AttackofZaq....
Thanks firstly for your reply. I re-installed W8 to start from scratch.
OK, so I thought the AMD driver worked. I had installed it before I posted to the forum but then the problem seemed to have returned. I'll have to play with the settings because just as I type this the fan has started for no reason, same problem as before. Is there any chance Windows Updates in interfering?
Regarding the fingerprint reader - it hasn't helped. In Device Manager I now see Biometric Devices > Validity Sensors (WBF) (PID=0018). Is there some further software I require in order to use the device. I'm going to install SimplePass to see if that's needed.
I'll be back with an update.

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.

Upgrading graphics card in HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

Hi, I've been playing games on my computer lately and have noticed it has trouble running some of the more intensive games. I was wondering if there is a way I can upgrade the graphics card to something more powerful/advanced. I have a HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M

Unfortunately, the GPU is not upgradeable in these units. You would have to upgrade the entire motherboard package, which would be costly and cause potential reliability issues in the future. Your best option would be to upgrade to a newer notebook with the GPU and specs you require.

HP Pavilion dv7-6070ca recovered no graphic card driver?

Hello,
I had my hard drive tank on me and replaced it recently. I re-installed windows with my backup DVD but once it came online I found that not a single driver installed on the computer. That wasn't a huge deal as I went on to the website and download all of them via a different computer so now all is working EXCEPT my AMD graphic which should be:
Radeon™ HD 6770M Graphics with 1024MB GDDR5 and up to 4837MB
total graphics memory
I have tried to uninstall the driver and reinstall it but I keep getting an error message...which I can't seem to replicate at the moment to copy into this post but it has something to do with my driver not being up-to-date which I think is a Catch22 since I'm trying to install it period.
Can anyone suggest another idea? I'm still trying to do some additional attempts...one is to find that exact graphic card on AMDs site and see if I can find a driver more successfully.

It is really odd that using your Recovery Discs did not install the drivers. Normally a recovery puts everything back just as shipped. Maybe your set is incomplete or something. You can order Recovery Media for around $16. The option to order is in your drivers/software list.

Allocating more memory to graphics card on HP Pavilion dv7-6157cl

The graphics card in the laptop is AMD Radeon HD 6520G which has the 512mb dedicated and up to 4gb shared, but wondering if there is a way to change that 512mb to 1g or so dedicated and then the rest. It's pulling that 512 from my system ram which I have a total of 8g any insight would be great! thanks!
