If this driver doesn't want to work on win7 as well, I will try the even older driver. Alright, time to install win7!

You're very welcome.

 

Glad to have been of assistance.

 

Maybe W10 is too new/much for that model.

I think so as well, I'll stick with windows 7. I wanted to install an SSD to boost it a bit, but I'm not really sure if it's compatible or not.

I wouldn't recommend a SSD in the models with the AMD processors, because the sata mode is IDE only.

 

There would be no TRIM support, and I think that its very possible the SSD may not even work.

 

If you have one laying around, you can try it, but I definitely wouldn't go out and buy one for that model.

 

Some SSD's worked in the later Intel models such as the dv6500t's.

Then I think it's better to go with a normal one, 7200rpm.

Yes, I agree.

 

7,200 RPM would be a slight improvement over the stock 5,400.

 

Get one with a large cache like 64 MB if you can.

I'll try to find some. I also want to upgrade the cpu to a 2.0ghz amd one. Maybe even 2.2ghz, if amd turion tl-68 works on this model... It's probably limited to 2.0ghz.

I think you are right about the 2.0 Ghz limitation.

 

Here is the link to the service manual for your model.

 

The supported AMD processors are listed on page 1-2.

Well... It's going to be cheap replacing it then. Thank you for helping again, this was my last solution. Thank you!
