HP dv7
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I reinstalled Windows 7 but no drivers work. I tried to do the f11 recovery but it doesn't load because this is a stock install of windows 7. How do i recover it?

Hi:

 

Surely there are W7 drivers for your PC.

 

What is the full model number or product number of your dv7?

 

The product number can be found on the same label as the serial number.

 

Please do not post the serial number.

i will attempt to install these and I'll get back to you! Thanks!

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

Ok, so i have an uodate for you.

I installed the chipset, restarted, and everything was good.

I installed the graphics, but when I restarted windows does "starting windows" but then it goes to a black screen where it is now stuck /:

What do i do now?

HP Recommended

Try starting windows in safe mode.

 

It sounds to me like one of the GPU's is fried, because that shouldn't happen

 

To start windows in safe mode, restart the PC, keep tapping the F8 key until you get windows to start in safe mode.

I think it is time for you to consider buying a new notebook.
