HP Pavillion DV6700 Missing Nvidia Driver

[TRMATEK]

I am looking for the nvidia driver for this computer but I cant find it. I have all the other drivers installed. I also cant use the nvidia site as it says " that the driver for this model was customized by the manufaturer for this model." Then it goes on the state that it is recommended to download from HP.

Thanks

Hi:

Does your notebook have the AMD or Intel processor?

That makes a difference regarding what nVidia graphics driver I need to give you.

Hello, Thank you for a quick response. It is a AMD

Any solutions?

Yes, there is and for some reason, I never saw the reply from almost a year ago.

Download and save this driver, but do not run it.

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38501-39000/sp38834.exe

Then download and install this free file utility.

The 2nd link at the top of the page is for 64 bit.

https://www.7-zip.org/

After you install 7-Zip, right click on the graphics driver file you saved.

Have 7-Zip Extract to:  and let it extract the file into its folder name.

Once that is done, go to the device manager, click to expand the display adapters device manager category.

Click on the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, or Standard BGA Adapter listed there.

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder that 7-Zip created.

Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.

Then restart the PC.

Sorry that it took so long to get back to you.
