HP Pavilion dv6700 Special Edition - CPU upgrade

[mirkrat]

Sure, I understand, thanks a lot. I will do the test again with a laptop monitor.
The HDD, I really don't understand, as a USB disk it works really normally, but laptops won't accept it as an HDD. But there is probably no point in solving that now. I'll try to ask about that elsewhere.

You're very welcome.

Hello after a long time, (now I have little time to devote to my laptops unfortunately).
What happened to me was that overnight when I had my dv6700 running (successfully freshly installed Win 10 Pro), I was copying my data from one external drive to another. I wake up in the morning and there is a blue screen on my laptop - see attachment. The system completely crashed, there was no way to fix it. Probably some bad update. Unfortunately, even if I recreated the USB installation media (directly from the Microsoft site - unfortunately it still doesn't work for me via the Rufus from the ISO file - the laptop won't accept it), immediately after the fresh installation the laptop keeps freezing and then this screen appears. Apparently, some new update doesn't work for him or some driver needs to be installed. Or is there a new version of Win 10 that is not supported on my laptop? (Win 10 24H2 probably already exists).
I still can't get it to work. Or that a 2TB SSD wouldn't work for him? I originally had a 250GB SSD in there, but used that in the dv1000. Fortunately, it still works.

Hi:

The latest version of W10 is on the Micrsoft download site.

Yes, it is possible that some update crashed the system, but I wouldn't know what it could be or how to fix it if you tried two different ways to reinstall Windows and it didn't work.

Did you try the Tiny 10 version of W10 from this site?  Maybe that will work.

Other than that, I wouldn't have any other suggestions for you to try.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten to the Tiny 10 system yet, unfortunately I stay long at work and unfortunately I don't have enough time to devote to this. It annoys me that I don't have a working laptop at home now. I kept the Dv1000 at work for now. I'll definitely try Tiny 10 sometime, thanks for the reminder. But Windows 10 previously worked normally with the old SSD. I will try to search on the Internet what could be causing this system crash. But I sure hope it's not a HW problem, I hope nothing broke.
I read somewhere that it is possible that some necessary drivers are damaged, I will try to repair them somehow in safe mode. System restore doesn't work, even though I have restore points created at the beginning of a successful installation, I can't even factory reset the system. Thank you.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes, you can see if the notebook works in safe mode and try to figure out what is crashing the system.

Hello, please:

It is almost clear that 2TB SSDs or maybe HDD is not compatible with this laptop. With an ordinary old HDD, the installation is functional.

There will probably be a necessary controller for supporting large -capacity discs or simply the controller on the motherboard can no longer do this. I also tried to install Windows Vista to flash the BIOS and it wrote that some driver is missing the media and that the installation program does not have access to the installation medium or something like that.

Is there any chance to break up 2TB SSD as a primary disk - systemic?

As a second solution, I have in reserve that I would buy some smaller SSD and 2TB SSD I would put in the drawer instead of a CD/DVD drive.

Interestingly, however, even now from the DVD installation can not be done (but the drive should be functional), the installation is feasible only by the USB flash drive.

Hi:

Probably 2 TB drives are too large for the drive controller/chipset to support.

None of those notebooks came with more than a 250 GB drive according to the service manual.

You can try to partition the 2TB drive into 4 x 500 GB partitions and hope that works.

[mirkrat]

This means that my division into two partitions: the first - 100 GB (system) and then the rest - 1800 GB is bad?
The system was on the 100 GB section, which is less than 500 GB, even than 250 GB.
Thus, you think that the distribution of 4x 500 GB could be a solution. Well it will be quite interesting to have 4 sections there, but I would probably survive this 😄
Is there a SATA driver that could support it and that I would do a Slipstream before installation - something like Windows XP on dv1000?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I'd say it would be worth a try.

Your dv6700 has AHCI set by default and in the device manager, under the IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers device manager category there should be a standard AHCI controller listed there.

I prefer to change that to the actual Intel AHCI driver.

What operating system are you currently running on there?

If you have the Standard AHCI controller I will give you the Intel storage controller drivers to install.

They only go up to W7, but I have used them on W11 on my old HP notebook with the same chipset as the dv6700.
