Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion dv6-6042eo Entertainment Notebook Computer. Here is the HP Pavilion dv6-6042eo Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page for your computer. Here are the most current AMD Chipset Driver (Chipset, SATA/RAID, USB 3.0).
If using the HP Recovery Discs set you created when you first setup your computer or an HP Recovery Disc set you ordered from HP, you shouldn't need any drivers to return the computer to a factory like state.
If you are trying to use a generic copy of Windows 7 to do a clean install, you also shouldn't need AMD specific drivers to complete the install. You may wish to see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on downloading the Windows 7 SP1 Media Refresh image, creating the Windows 7 SP1 installation media, and installing Windows.
I reccomend using Windows SP1, as it has newer and more complete driver support. This may get you past the issue you are having. You may also wish to post images, as to aid us in assisting you.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

HP Pavilion dv6-7003xx Entertainment Notebook PC
Hi, my computers hard drive failed. So I went out, bought a new hard drive and tryed installing windows 7 64bit Home premium again. When the windows disk is about to finish, it give me this message.
"Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."
I have tryed re-installing windows, but this problem continues to arise.
I did some searching and found a forum that said the, "Intel(R) Moblie Express Chipset SATA RAID controller" needs to be installed using the windows disk, the "Load dirves" option. But this still doesn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

View Solution.Hi,
There are two posts on the first page of this Microsoft forums thread that I think may help you.
"Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on theis compuiter, restart the ins..."
One is by MarkBeacom, the other is by Para Normal. Both suggestions worked for others. You would have to see if either are able to help you.

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
Audio

Pavilion dv6-3227cl entertainment notebook powers on but only has a black screen
An HP Pavilion DV6-3227cl Entertainment Notebook, that is approximately 2 years old and is running Windows 7 Home Premium, AMD Vision Premium, will power on but not boot up. The fan runs and the "caps lock" light flashes once approximately every 4 seconds but all I get is a black screen with no cursor or error messages. There are no beeps. The power supply indicator illuminates (white) for about a second, then turns to a dim orange when the battery is installed, but remains white when the battery is removed. However, the two indicator lights (I'm not sure what they are for) next to the USB port nearest the power indicator light illuminate as follows: the one on the left (as you are looking at the right side of the notebook) is white; the one on the right is orange. Both are fully illuminated (not dimly as the power indicator light). The power indicator light is not as bright as the other white indicator near the USB port. The notebook has booted up and appeared to be running one time since having this problem started, but I have not been able to get it to boot up again. I am told the battery is bad (it's my brother in law's notebook), but is it possible the problem is with the power source rather than the processor or motherboard? I appreciate your comments/advice on this matter. Thank you.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi fejevitzky,
Your question, "Based upon that, I believe you are telling me you do not think it is the BIOS--is that correct?" Yes, as long as you dont see any "white" light reveal from LCD bezel back side while with blank screen state. LCD bezel is the cover around LCD, most design put LED modeule at the bottom side next to LCD. While back light is not on during boot up sequence, that means system doesnt have chance to get BIOS program running. It also means, it stuck at state of hardware bring up. Normally motherboard related.
I quickly checked hp.com and found some link that may help. Or 1-800-HP invent (1-800-474-6836) can save times. This forum only intends to quick/simply reply users questions. About another service and repair charge, I have to give you other links to reach.

HP Pavilion dv6-6c54nr Entertainment Notebook PC
Hello,
Recently my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6-6c54nr Entertainment Notebook PC ) had a problem and I needed to set it to it's fabric settings. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and the computer drivers listed in the page of this product. The computer has 4 speakers, but there's not sound coming from the frontal speakers. What can I do? Thanks.Hi Krosado14,
I understand you are having an issue with the 4 speakers after doing a factory reset on your computer.
If you follow this page to the driver downloads and click on Audio.
Download (both) and install, it should resolve your issue.

How do i factory reset my HP Pavilion dv6-6173cl Entertainment Notebook PC?
well i am having a problem here on factory reseting my notebbok pc i just want to get rid of everything and start fresh again but when i do it ask me for a recovery disc which didnt come when i bought my computer any suggestions?
Thanks youMost consumer computers haven't come with OS Discs or Recovery Discs since about 2004. If you didn't create your personal HP Recovery Media, please contact official HP customer support, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to check on the availability of HP Recovery Media for your computer. If in the USA, you can also order the HP Recovery Disc set "658862-001 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit" from third party vendor ComputerSurgeons.com
Alternatively, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7 SP1, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 SP1 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer.Please see the HP Pavilion dv6-6173cl Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page for Windows 7 drivers.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Unfortunaly, I lost my everything on my Notebook and now I'm trying to fix it installing Windows 7 Again with a Windows 7 Disc Room I have, but in the activation of Windows, I use my original Serial number of Windows 7 Home Premium and the Microsoft says that is invalid. Whats the problem?

Can i change graphic settings on a "HP Pavilion dv6-3161eo Entertainment notebook pc"?
Hi
I have a "HP Pavilion dv6-3161eo Entertainment notebook pc" and I run Windows 7 64-bit. Lately I bought a lot of games, and I was hoping to play them without any problems. I have been able to before, so nothing should get in my way for doing it now. But it seems that my graphic settings keep changing from time to time, since when I play, I get a lot of lagg, both online and offline. Sometimes I can play the games without any lagg, but the most times the games lagg when I play them. The times when I can play without any problems, I can also watch HD movies online, which I can't when i can't play the games without lagg. To make an example, I bought a game called "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim". When the game starts up, it automatically "Detect your video hardware and set video options accordingly". The most times when I start up the game, it sets the video quality to "low quality", but sometimes it sets the video quality to "high quality". Those times, I can also play the other games without lagg. I am almost sure, it is because my graphic settings on the pc are being changed, but I dont know how, or how to do it manually. So is it possible to solve this problem and/or change the graphic settings manually?You might have too many things running on the pc, such as browsers, music players, downloaders as you load the game which would explain the erratic behavior of the game checking your available settings.
PS, Skyrim Rocks, as does MW3

HP Pavilion dv6-6c14nr Entertainm​ent Notebook PC -- No webcam detected
My name is Sarah.
I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6c14nr Entertainment Notebook PC
Model: A6Y00UA
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I first realized I had a webcam problem today when I tried video chatting on Skype. I do have a built-in webcam, as there is a lens above my screen with the words "HP TrueVision HD" beside it.
I opened CyberLink YouCam (it came standard with my laptop) and received this message:
From here, I found the Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7) help page via Google. I followed "Reinstalling the original webcam program that came with your computer in Windows 7," but got no results. I followed "Can't find the webcam or webcam software," but got no results. I then followed "Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, etc.)," but got no results.
Next, I found the Testing a Webcam Using YouCam help page via search on the HP website. I followed the instructions until step 2 "Verify the webcam hardware is recognized in Device Manager" when I had to stop here:
I returned to the Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7) help page and followed the instructions for "Webcam is not listed in Device Manager (Windows 7)," but again got no results.
I did not use Microsoft System Restore because 1) I don't know exactly when my webcam went from working to not working, and 2) I am unsure what a system restore will do in terms of me losing any data or programs.
If anyone has any advice or knows exactly what I need to do, I appreciate the feedback.I would guess one of two things-either the webcam has failed or the cable that runs from the webcam is unplugged from the motherboard.

Poor quality of HP Pavilion dv6-7040tx Entertainment Notebook PC - replacement
Hi,
I purchased HP Pavilion dv6-7040tx Entertainment Notebook PC and within 4-5 days of purchase I came to know that the integrated webcam is not working- having hardware fault, followed the steps provided by help desk.
Went to service station as well and the issue is not getting rectified with driver/software reinstallation. It's a clear indication that some of the hardware is having issue.
In such a case (notebook is less than 7 days old) and it's integrated cam never worked, shouldn't it be replaced immediately? instead of doing Hardware troubleshoot offerings.Hi,
Wow that's great........
This was the only reason that I told you that HP has the best after sales service....
Enjoy n have fun with your fully loaded machine.....
