the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx, 6140tx and dv6-6165tx thread

[sarathsnair]

i got a set of recovery disk from Hp. But i also have made a set of recovery disk using recovery manager. When inserting the disc's it is all different. The one that i made using the recovery manager is so simple to use. But the new one's are different from this

 

[ParaXite]

My Luck is so damn bad...ALL dv6 6165tx Laptops are out of stock in Hyderabad and they have been replaced by dv6 70** laptops with a bad 630m GPU (as compared to amd 6770m).

I dont know what to do....I'm doomed!

EDIT: i won't be able to afford the dv7-7000 with the 650m and the dv6-7010 is worse than the 6165tx in graphic performance. Really don't know what to do now!

Hello,
I bought a hp-6017tx last year.I want to extend the warranty of my laptop.
But when i contacted hp,they gave me another contact.
Then he called me and told to pay rs 4500 for 1 year extension but he gave me link of rteservices RT Services-HP Care Pack for online payment.
I dont think this is genuine as there is no name of HP in it.

So anyone is here who have extended the warranty and tell me how to do that!

Wasn't able to open the link. Contact the shop from where you bought the laptop and ask them to extend the warranty.

Use system recovery to recover your laptop to its original state or minimized system recovery to recover to original state without installing any crapware.

Update your BIOS and Graphic Drivers

It would take some time in BIOS update, don't turn off computer

 

[samudragupta]

@ rider thanks... there are two links for the bios update, which one should i download?

Congrats buddy...

Hey! I got it for 59,990 and I got an HP bag and a good offer on an all in one printer from HP. See, if you are getting awesome hardware for this price you need to compromise on other things eg: display.

the display is ok. Nothing great but not bad either. Its ok and acceptable. While gaming I hardly notice anything about the low resolution of 1366x768. So its ok overall I'm really happy with the piece.

Btw.. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY SOFTWARE TO MONITOR PROCESSOR AND GPU TEMPERATURES?

 

[dashing.sujay]

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY SOFTWARE TO MONITOR PROCESSOR AND GPU TEMPERATURES?

HWmonitor.

@ rider thanks... there are two links for the bios update, which one should i download?

well while doing the extended warranty for my sis the guy redirected me to the same page but i didn't do the online money transfer istad i called the guy and handed over the money and he gave me the receipt and told that the hard copy of extended warranty bill be sent to my home within 10 days.

thanks alot, i've updated both... what i noticed is that dvd ripped movies are still not crisp however, blueray or hd movies above 1gb are fabulous... a bit disappointed but still happy...

Guys whats the optimum temperature of the GPU while running high end games? I used a software and it doesn't go higher than 80*C. Is that ok and can I continue gaming on it for 3-4 hours straight? or is it high and should I wait till it cools down?

wow you started gaming already!!!

haha ^^ I had few games on my external HD and i just ran them!

 

[pranav0091]

80C is a bit high but not bad. anything below 75 is definitely good. Above 85 caution, 90+ real danger. 95+ you are walking on a tightrope, blind

Anyways get a cooler if possible.
