System will work this out, it will assign/allocate SPARE/AVAILABLE system RAM to VRAM up to max limit when required. No other option on your machine. Your machine supports 4GB (max) of DDR2 RAM therefore depending on which Windows you may have 1GB free for VRAM.
Regards.
thanks but do you happen to know what the minimum is (I have 3GB) in case there are any doubts
Hi Paul
Thanks for the link to the manual, it helped a lot, even 2 years later.
I have the cb-005ni so it should be the same to the 078tx. I am looking to upgrade the memory to as much as I can - I am happy that it can only be 16GB max and 2400MHz, however if I run Speccy it tells me that the RAM stick currently installed is 8GB 2666 MHz - although in task manager it is only running at 2400MHz.
My question is if I want to upgrade, should I go for another 8GB 2666MHz or will it not make a difference going for 2400MHz? I know that with RAM it's generally better to make sure your sticks are the same size, speed, brand etc. but I am cautious in case there is some kind of reason why there's a discrepancy.
Here's the info on the installed RAM module according to Speccy:
Type: Unknown
Size: 8192 MBytes
Manufacturer: Kingston
Max Bandwidth: DDR4-2666 (1333 MHz)
Part Number: HP26D4S9S8MD-8
Serial Number: 34206528
Week/year: 09 / 18
Thanks!
HP gave me no instructions on the keyboard when I bought this. None of the online manuals for this laptop show what all the keys do or how to select a certain function or character. There is some limited info given, such as Windows shortcuts and function/action key descriptions. The closest thing to a user's manual is a called a "Maintenance and Service Guide," which is not a basic user guide, and it doesn't include a complete keyboard "key." So please do not refer to that in your response. There is a "User Guide - Windows 10" which only describes the actions keys and a few others. The "Start Here" guide is no help. I searched for "keyboard instructions" on HP Support and haven't found a keyboard guide. Does HP have a guide that describes how to use all the keys? Some keys have 4 characters on them, but I can't figure out how to type the other characters, after trying holding down the control, function, or alternate keys. Some key characters are painted in blue. For instance, the =/+ key also has 3/4 in blue. How do I type that? Other uses of a key are abbreviations or symbols that I have no idea what they mean. It's ridiculous that HP, et al sell their products without adequate basic instructions. This came to a head today when I was typing an email and when I tried to insert other letters/words, it was overwriting the next characters to the right. I looked for an "insert" key which I figured I'd accidentally hit, and found "ins" written in small letters above the "prt sc" key, but messing with it didn't fix the problem. This made me realize that I didn't know how to use a lot of the keys, and didn't know what a lot of their functions were. Thanks HP!
my HP Notebook - 15-ac145ds (ENERGY STAR) is on power on system fan fail hit enter to continue. But there is no system fan the cpu is cooled by just a strip of copper and no fan why do I have this error all of a sudden bios is f29...
Our model of the 840 g5 does have the IR camera so it should be able to work with windows hello face.
Hello Experts,
i know this is silly but im looking to breathe a new life into my old dv6-1370ev.
i was looking through old and archived posts, saw that someone suggested that his laptop can support several upgrades.
here is my questions in regards to this laptop,
-Would an intel turbo memory card make any difference to this system? i didn't find much about this in the manual.
-Does this only support DDR2? or 3 as well? again not specified in the documentation. which is the fastest memory i can use for the 8GB (2x4GB) upgrade?
-The PCI-E slot (where i can install the intel turbo memory card/TV tuner) what can i use it else for?
-I see on ebay several T9900 CPU upgrades, but whats the difference between HP part 570434-001 and https://www.ebay.com/itm/262346928343
-im planning to install a SSD on this laptop, would this work https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CFXNRVD ? from my understanding that this laptop supports upto 500GB hard drives.
Other than the above what else can improve on this laptop?
Thanks in advance,
TDK
Это не помогает. Компьютер новый, там все сияет чистотой.
Hello, I am wondering if I can allocate more VRAM to my Vega 8 graphics processor. I have a Pavilion Laptop 15-cw1xxx and I cannot access the 'Advanced' setting in the BIOS in order to do this, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would help solve my issue as I recently upgraded my RAM for this particular reason. Thank you!
Can anyone tell me about the maximum size of RAM in this laptop? HP 15-rb028ur (4US49EA)
My notebook failed to launch. Hard drive failed DST test . All other sistems and components passed the check up. So what does "Filure ID:Q4SB7Q-7GV9SP-XD7V6K-60TD03" mean?
This will not work for everyone, but you may be lucky?
HP Notebooks and Mobile Workstations -
No Power, No Boot, No Display When Power Button Is Pressed
NOTE: Be sure the battery is installed in the computer and it has sufficient power before continuing. Due to the design of the Embedded Controller/Keyboard Controller, the power supply must be disconnected and the computer must be powered with battery power to reset the Embedded Controller/Keyboard Controller.
Unplug the AC power from the computer.
Press and hold the power button for more than 12 seconds.
Release the power button (after at least 12 seconds).
The computer will power on and should boot normally after releasing the power button.
Re-connect the AC power to the computer.
NOTE: In case the battery is not charging after performing the steps to reset the Embedded Controller, unplug and re-plug in the AC power again.
Hi,
My sister bought this notebook in 2011. Now I organise a modernisation of it and II would like to insert SSD disc and use a high speed of it with AHCI controler. Is it possible in this computer? I haven't found such option in BIOS.
I have exactly the same problems, the keyboard backlight failed only when I did a system restore, I had to uninstall keyboard drivers and the problem was fixed, however the other ones were not.
It would be nice to be HP fix this.
Hi HP community,
My HP 15 bs145tu is not starting up after installing the Samsung 970 EVO plus 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD.
This lappy has one m.2 slot so I bought the aforementioned SSD but after installing it is not starting up. And, when I remove the SSD, system is working as expected. I tried the second time and made sure that It is placed and screwed correctly.
Please suggest what could be the reason. Need expert advice, please help why it is not supporting this SSD.
Thanks,
Harsh W.
The problem is based on a buggy BIOS where the power management is not properly implemented.
There is no fix yet and it only can be fixed by updating the BIOS power management.
S0 Standby is supported since F.17 but its making the laptop crash a lot.
S3 Standby still is not supported.
Fan is still shutting down with the screen.
The laptop keeps crashing without any reason.
Windows is reporting, that there is no communication with the embedded controller and the vendor has to be asked for a BIOS update.
I don't believe HP wants to fix anything, they also closed the original german thread
Hello again, yes i tried to reinstall the ACPI drivers and update the BIOS as you suggested, and nothing has changed.
I tried to do a battery test as you suggested in the last reply, but i think i have an older version of it because this is how it looks :
Hello. I have what Mahmoodasif has. Mine shows only 4GB single slot. My machine is the w105dx.
It's been a pile of junk since I got it. Always seems slow. Then one day my daughter was playing Roblox
on it and it became a slower than slow snail. HDD always at 100% with actually very little data transferring.
I restored it back a couple months. It never fixed it. I got my new Samsung S8 plus cell phone, and that
became my computer. I finally decided to try to transfer all my photos and stuff off, that took days, as slow
as it was running. Then when I went to do a factory reset, I found I could actually save my files. So I did that.
When it boots up, it seems a bit slow. The HDD is at max 100% for a little while. Then it levels out to normal.
after over a year of giving up on it, it is back to some what normal. I can actually do stuff on it now. But all I
find for information on memory upgrade, is that it has 8 Gig already, but mine only has 4 Gigs of RAM. When
I purchased this paper wait, I thought an i7 was at least a 4 core @ 8 threads. I only discovered yesterday that
this thing is only a dual core. I should have done better homework when I purchased this thing. The one I
purchased at another store and returned, may have been better than this one? But I don't remember what it
was anyways. So maybe not? Do I have to actually take this thing apart to find out if it takes one or two memory
sticks? My other HP laptop gave the same information as this. Everything said it was two slots for memory. I
ordered it and found it only had one slot. Everything said that one had a fan too. But 3 years later, I found out
the one I have actually didn't have the fan. It was the bottom of the barrel CPU that never got hot enough to
ever need a fan. I always bought AMD before these two paper waits. Well, the old one was a lot faster than this
one. LOL And it was silent. Then one day I kept getting the blue screen of death. I fixed that the other day. When
I changed the memory to it's max and swapped out the HDD for an SSD, for some reason it was getting a poor
connection. I pulled it apart and sprayed contact cleaner on all the connections and put it back together. It worked
again. Then it wouldn't turn on. I had to remove the keyboard and wiggle the power switch connection under the
keyboard. Then I pulled it loose and reconnected it. It works again. Then I got to this one. I paid around $800 for this
paper wait. I was very disappointed in it. So did we figure out if this takes one or two slots of RAM? When I find videos
and instructions on changing the RAM on this computer, the bottom of the machine they are working on looks nothing
like this one. What I've seen online is a laptop that hat a large T shaped plastic piece that comes off from the bottom.
This one has no removable section on the bottom, like I've seen. This beast looks like all access is from the top, under
the keyboard. This is grey/silver. The ones I see instructions for, claiming to be this same machine, are black with many
air slots and a removable bottom. I'm guessing I have to take it apart to find out?
I descovered by trial and error that it was the AMD graphich drivers that were causing the problem
I have solved this by downgrading the drivers to v15.201.1101.0
Now the machine is behaving normally
Found the drivers!
I have installed AMD graphics driver v15.201.1101.0
Now the machine is behaving normally
