Windows 8.1 graphics drivers - pavilion dv6 6c60ec

Hello, I recently upgraded form windows 8 to windows 8.1, everything went fine without any errors, but when I tried to start any game I got error with DirectX (for my Intel HD 3000 card) so I couldnt play anything. I was looking for hours on google and any graphics drivers for my radeon hd 7690M XT, in my device manager I see 2 graphics cards - AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series and Intel HD Graphics 3000, actually i have these drivers:
 http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064#amd-catalyst-packages
Before I have tried these HP drivers, but my laptop couldn't even see them, my resolution was at 1024*768 and couldn't change:
 http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-112999-1&cc=cz&dlc=cs&lc=cs...
When I installed the AMD drivers it seemed fine but at the end I got this report:

It just said the installation completed fine but with warnings. I tried to disable my Intel 3000 HD to see how my Radeon graphics works and launched one game after the driver install - but it was laggy as hell, so i closed the game and I got the error like "AMD Driver is not installed or it doesn't work properly. Please install the AMD driver." (sorry for bad translation).
Im really exhausted of searching on google, i've done that really for hours... please help.
This question was solved.

Hey mate! I have solved my problem! I was calling to an HP technician and he told me that there is NO OFFICIAL way to solve my problem because there are no official drivers for me. Anyway he said there is an UNOFFICIAL way to do it but it's on my own risk and HP does not take any responsibility for its functionality so i gave him my phone number and an email, he sent me the site where are the drivers so i tried it as a last chance (otherwise i would downgrade to win 8.0) and it works! I'm so happy that he told me about that site... I'm not sure about the rules on the forums so i won't post the link in here, but if you want to know more just send me an email to [email protected]
I wish you an happy day cause it's definitely a great day for me!

    I installed windows 7 on my HP Pavilion g6-2240sa however, the windows 8 graphics drivers are not compatible with windows 7.
    Can someone please give me a link to some appropriate compatible drivers.

    Sorry none of those things worked.
    I have one other thing you can try, and if that doesn't work, then I suggest you give up and reinstall W8.
    Download and run the AMD Mobility Radeon Driver Verification tool and see if it finds and installs a graphics driver for you.
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows 7 - 64
    You may also want to try reinstalling W7 start fresh, and just use that last graphics driver I posted from the HP 2000.
    And should you decide to start from the beginning, make sure you install the AMD chipset driver first before installing the graphics driver.  You only need the first file download listed on the webpage.

  • Driver windows 8 - Entertainment Notebook HP Pavilion dv6-6030el

    Hello,
    I bought just 1/2 years ago the Entertainment Notebook HP Pavilion dv6-6030el. it's operational system was windows 7 and now i have upgrade the operational system's with windows 8. The problem it's that i can't find the drivers for the various hardware that are present in the notebook.

     The page blankets a number of models, so be sure and choose the drivers that are applicable to yours.
     Note that if you install the AMD driver from there, some of your advanced features may be missing. So in this case you may have to use the W7 driver from you HP support page.
     Do a clean install of the driver, just don't install it over top of the old one.

  • Windows 10 graphics drivers for pavilion dv7-4264ca

    I recently did the free Windows 10 upgrade after Windows compatibility showed no issues to do so. After upgrading, I received an error that my AMD graphice drivers were not installed or were not working properly. Winndows Update said the best driver was installed. I went to AMD's website and found that they recommend contacting the computer manufacturer for updated drivers. I contacted HP Support because the drivers were not on my product's web page for download. HP support transferred my call to AMD support, where I received no answer to my call. After completely uninstalling the drivers, I tried installing AMD's latest driver (15.7.1) from their website. I once again received the same error after install completed. There seems to be no solution out there as of yet. If there is, I would love to know what it is, as neither HP nor AMD have been able to help! If not, I would like some idea when HP will have updated drivers posted and available for downoad? Any input greatly appreciated.

    I am in the same "boat" I have tried the AMD install of a new driver,etc and nothing works. With Windows 7, I had no problems with my external DELL 24" monitor and my 2 month old Samsung 4K tv! After installing Windows 10, it does not recognize a second monitor. Get your "SH_T" together HP. Get us some drivers to resolve this issue.

  • Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Windows 7 beats audio problems

    Product name : Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx
    Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 Bit
    I'm having a problem with some of the sliders in my beats audio options. The sliders in the graphic equalizer section work just fine, but the ones to the left of it - bass, treble, center, etc - have no effect on the sound no matter how I adjust them. Below is a picture of what I'm talking about.  This problem seemed to happen shortly after I needed to reset my pc back to factory settings. I've gone to the drivers section of the hp website and got the HD IDT audio driver for my model called "sp58131" and installed it but all it did was reset the sliders, the problem still persists. Is there anything else I can do?

    Hi Vivi,
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Notebook and Beats Audio. I would uninstall the driver from the device manager and any others that might be in the Audio. Then reinstall it from here.
    Hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo​, Radeon HD 6770M, switchable graphics, update Catalyst Control Center

    Computer: HP Pavilion dv6-6130eo
    I have installed windows 7 64 bit
    Graphics cards: Switchable Intel and Radeon HD 6770M
    So far, I have been using the graphics driver provided by HP including Catalyst Control Center, and it has been working fine.
    I recently bought a new game: Wolfenstein:New order. I fulfill minimum requirements.
    When trying to run the game, I am informed, that my Catalyst Control Center must be 14.4 or newer: Fatal error, and game cannot run.
    How can I update my Catalyst Control Center to 14.4 or newer? Both graphics cards (switchable) should be working.
    Thanks a lot in advance - This issue is really getting on my nerves!

    I understand that your notebooks works fine except when you try to play your new Wolfenstein New Order game, at which time it informs you that your Catalyst Control Center is out of date and must be 14.4 or higher.  You stated  installed Windows 7 64 bit.
    Have you done all your Windows updates?
    Have you ran The HP Support Assistant to aid with updating drivers and resolving issues.
    Here is a link to the latest recommended  HP driver AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver sp55092.exe for you system.
    If that does not update your current version of the Catalyst Control Center, you will need to check the AMD website.

  • Dedicated Graphic Card Failure (ATI) - HP Pavilion DV6

    Hey guys,
    I have HP pavilion Dv6 which have AMD Radeon Graphics card(may be 69xx or 74xx radeon series 1Gb ddr3).
    Currently i have installed Windows 7 & Ubuntu(Dual boot).
    Problem:
    I was playing NFS when the system froze,so i turned it off forcefully, after that laptop always get stuck at windows logo.I also tried to switch the (bios)dynamic option(graphic) to fixed,in this option i do get past the logo but i am presented with blank screen ,in short no luck.
    However i have managed to get it to work with ubuntu with intel default video card , through advanced recovery option.
    What can i do to use some how similar approach for windows 7 i.e disable dedicated video card?
    Can Graphics card can be repaired/changed easily?
    Thanks

    Have you checked the hard drive using Diagnostics in BIOS? Or F2 immediately after power on? (F2 may not work if you deleted the Diagnostic partition to install Ubuntu)

  • 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

  • Solved Crackling Problem in Windows 7 (SB 24-bit USB External, HP Pavilion dv6 1124-ca laptop).

    I'm one of many users who has had problems with the sound crackling problem with their sound card after upgrading to Windows 7.
    I was previously on Windows Vista running 5. with 24-bit, 96000Hz sample rate Studio Quality with no problems at all. When I upgraded to Windows 7 RC, Windows was able to automatically find a driver for my external USB sound card, but when playing music, I always got a constant crackling sound coming from the speakers while trying to put the card in anything above 2. or and when putting it in 24-bit 96000Hz, the crackling only got worse. Installing the Beta drivers on the Creative site didn't work either... still had the crackling. I searched around for the past several months for solutions to no avail.
    Then today, I was surfing the HP website (I have a HP Pavilion dv6 24-ca laptop) to see if they had added Windows 7 drivers to their support site and they did... and so I started downloading all available Windows 7 drivers for my specific laptop. When I first installed Windows 7 RC, it had installed it's own drivers for everything (on-board sound etc.). After replacing the Windows 7 installed "High Definition Audio Device" drivers with the HP supplied "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" drivers... I'm not sure if the on board sound driver has anything at all to do with the crackling on the Soundblaster but I replaced the drivers anyway. I also installed another driver called "AMD USB Filter" that was supplied by the HP website for Windows 7 which is another driver that I thought might help with the problem. Other drivers installed were "ENE CIR Reciever Driver" and "Realtek Card Reader Driver" but those have nothing to do with the sound card.
    After installing the drivers from the HP website, I no longer get the crackling from the speakers when playing in 5.. I am also now able to select 24-bit 96000Hz sample rate without crackling as well I am very happy to have finally solved the problem. So to anyone having similar problems, I suggest you check out your manufacturers website to see if they have any drivers available for you... I have a feeling the AMD USB Filter is what solved the problem... but who knows.
    Hope this helps other HP users!

    Try this video let me know if it helps you out.

    If you can hear the music through the speakers but not the headphones I would suggest using an AUX cable because seems the sound isn't being transmitted over.
    Just a friendly note here. Don't buy the wireless turtle beaches I have the x32s and I'm continuously buying batteries !

  • Can't Install Windows 7 Home Premium on my new Pavilion dv6

    Well guys I have a serious problem here. I recently bought myself a new HP notebook and as I took a first glance at all the unnecessary programs and applications that were allready installed I decided to reinstall windows from the start. So i downloaded a free Windows 7 Trial and burnt the image to a dvd. I thought I could activate the trial later on with my genuine Windows 7 key on the back of my notebook. But the win7 setup didn't even get me that far! After that I had formated the HDD during the setup process it just get's to "finishing installation". This is where the following error message pops up:
    "Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware"
    All I can do here is just click "ok". Then the computer reboots and it says "the windows installation wasn't finished before" or so..
    Please, please help me! I have no idea how to solve this problem! Could maybe a hp employee help me out?
    This is my product:
    HP Pavilion dv6-7145ez (B8G15EA)
    further details here: http://www8.hp.com/ch/de/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=5293000
    I thank everybody for solutions

    Hi:
    Try using this free partitioning and formatting software on your C:\ drive first.
    http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
    Did you use this method of making a W7 DVD that I have posted for dozens of users who have all gotten W7 to install this way?
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6b56er and Windows 7 x64 Professional

    Hello.
    I've purchased Pavilion dv6-6b56er with pre-installed Win7 x64 Basic, which is not convenient for me, because of it's lack in functionality. So I've made a full backup of pavilion's hard drives and deleted all software from it. Then I've installed Win 7 x64 Pro and confronted with some difficulties regarding drivers for USB 3.0. Everything else is working fine. I know, that HP do not responsible for any experiments with non-pre-installed software, but still I have some questions.
    First of all, which driver I should install for pavilion's USB 3.0 ports? At downloads page I've found three different options:
    1. Renesas.

    2. NEC.

    3. Fresco.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-102204-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    and
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-100237-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    The first two have been installed (I mean they CAN be installed), the third one - doesn't install at all. So what's the reason of putting it on download page?
    The more the merrier. When you try to install package with NEC driver, installation master tells you, that it's Renesas driver. So there is no NEC driver on the download page at all. Why I've payed so much attention to it? I've installed Everest, so I can find out what driver is needed. It tells me that I have "NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller". So, there is no available driver on download page for NEC chipset and we have NEC chipset inside. 
    Meanwhile Windows' Support center offered some NEC driver for USB 3.0 (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp47501-48000/sp47677.exe ).
    So, who is right?
    The second question. If try to connect to USB 3.0 port some compound device (usb hub for example), then in "devices and printers" appear strange devices with label "No data". If Renesas driver has been installed then "USB 2.0 hub" appeared, and if Windows' proposed NEC - then "NEC Electronics USB Hub". The count of strange devices depend on number of devices connected to this compound device. This is my main problem - these strange devices.
    So I came to the deadlock. Any ideas to solve this problem?
    Any replies will be much appreciated.
    PS. Sorry for my bad English.
    This question was solved.

    Is the following image what you see when you start the recovery manager with the disk? This is for the CyberLink type Recovery Manager within Windows. The windows for the external recovery manager should be similar. I will use the external Recovery Manager on my loaner dv7 notebook and post an image later on today.
