Product: HP Pavillion dv6000 (GB179EA#ABT)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista

Hello, 

I bought 2 ram sticks for my laptop (4GB in total) because I want to upgrade my ram but after reading online

I realized my laptop can't run 4GB of RAM because my bios version is very old and doesn't support 4 GB and when I tried putting 4 gigs the screen was black but with 2 gigs it was fine.

 

I need a BIOS update download files for HP Pavillion dv6000 (GB179EA#ABT)

I'm running 32 bit Windows vista Home Premium Service Pack 2 

 

 

Thanks in advance!
