Notebook (Laptop) Upgrade FAQ

[Elis67]

Hi, Lil_Lisa27,

I7-3820QM processor supports the motherboard chipset HM76. Its distinguishing feature of USB 3.0. My motherboard with HM65 chipset only supports USB 2.0. In the catalog of spare parts for laptop ENVY 17 Series 3000 components are for use only on computer models with USB 3.0 capability, and for use only on computer models with USB 2.0 capability.
I need to replace all of the components?
Regards

Hi Elis67,

I can only go on the information that I have, which means that I can not confirm that processor will work on that mother board properly. You would have to search the specification for piece of hardware that you want to change to make sure that everything is compatible for your computer.

Thank you

Hi mahsaygh,

I understand that you are experiencing a blue screen on your computer, and then it restarts. To be able to assist you further, I would needs a bit more information.

What is the full model number of your computer? I have included the 'Guide to finding your product number?'.

What version of Windows are you currently running? I have included the document 'Which Windows operating system am I running?'.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have the HP G60-441US model with:

CPU: Pentium Dual-Core T4200/2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB;

Memory: 3Gb DDR2 ram;

Motherboard: Wistron/Model: 3612;

Chipset: Intel GL40;

Graphics: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD;

OS: Windows 7 x64;

Can you help me about upgrading my processor, what processor I can use what I can't. Is it possible to use the Intel C2D T9300 on 2.5Ghz or not. I've taken it appart twice for cleaning so I know how to do it.

Thank you and best regards.

This will take you through the process of replacing the hardware, but as well will tell you what processors are compatible with your computer. Please scroll down to page 85 for all the necessary information.

Hi,

Thank you for the fast reponse and help. I've readed the manual and I can't see my original CPU Intel T4200 in the manual is this the manual for my laptop because if it is it would have my original CPU written in the manual. Is it possible to install the Intel T8300 processor because I allready have one.

Thank you and best regards.

Hello,

For the two Processors that you have mentioned, they are not listed on page 85 of the service guide. As result I can not guarantee that they will work. The list of available processors that will work are listed on page 85.

Thank you.
