I purchased an HP Envy Touch smart 15 for about 1000$ It is using Windows 8.1 a Intel Core i7-4700MQ processor clocked at 2.40Hz, 16.0GB RAM. I have the problem "Your primary display driver has stopped responding and has sucesfully recovered" I have searched for solutions and I have found many sources to say that the soulution was just to change the voltage from 1.00 to 1.05. This makes sense to me as I have tried changing the Timeout delay and deleting/reinstalling drivers, windows updates, switching to windows 7 even. Nothing has worked and the only solution people are getting is this. The only problem is this is a laptop and I checked the bios and found no option for this. Is there a program I can do this with? Thank you for taking the time to read this and please help! It happens often and it is making my schoolwork/homework a living heck.  😕

Hi,

 

No, you won't be able to "overclock" this kind of laptops. One main understanding reason: Laptops will overheat very quick and their lives will be very short. Vendors don't want users send their machines back because of overheated during warranty period.

 

Regards.
