i use these - Catalyst_12.10_WHQL_UnifL
after uninstalling all graphics drivers (intel + amd) using HP RECOVERY MANAGER, use these - Catalyst 12.10 WHQL UnifL for AMD+Intel Graphics - leshcatlabs.net .
this is the best driver till now. no errors or BSOD's or slowdowns.
also use MSI Afterburner 2.3.1 with this. Any other version will give errors.

Hey so battery in my dv6-6154tx died. which battery are you guys using?
Hello DVians, how are you all?
I have DV6-6165tx, I'm on Windows 8.1 now, with all the drivers working properly and with SSD and with a new 1 TB HDD. I have 8GB of RAM and finding a way to upgrade it.
I have a strange idea. Has anyone thought of replacing the wifi module with a Msata(or M .2) SSD? The pinouts are same, but will it work? Does the PCIe slot of our laptops has SATA support? I know it sounds crazy, but as there is no more room for storage...
Otherwise I will have to go for SanDisk Extreme PRO® SDHC™/SDXC™ UHS-II card(well, its not available or in budget yet) or some U3 Pendrives(do let me know some high speed ones).
Anyway, wish you all a Very Happy New year.
thanks. PEACE.

i run in fixed mode.
i went from 12.10 unifl to 14.4 unifl ver 2.4 on 3rd of january this year.
IMPROVEMENTS -
every version in between had brightness issues when switched to AMD card.
also they had black screen when waking up from sleep. some users averted this by using hibernation.
i have found out that it is not a black screen but rather the backlight of the LCD not turning on.
i had tried updating to a version greater than 12.10 in the summer of 2014.
[namely 12.11, 13.12 r1.2, 13.1 v2.1, 13.3 b3 ptv2.2, 13.4 v2, 14.4, 14.4 v1.1, 14.4 v1.3, 14.4 v2.2].
it was to no avail. the brightness fixes using FTC values in UBR did not work nor did the wake up black screen OR no backlight issue got solved.

But now it did. Here are the steps, may they help someone -
note 1 - please create a system restore point and take registry backup.
note 2 - please reboot after every step.
1. Navigate the Control Panel, and delete drivers using "Programs
and Features".
Locate & Select “AMD Catalyst Install Manager”, launch it and
select "Express Uninstall ALL AMD Software". Execute it and
follow instructions. Reboot.
2. uninstall intel graphics components. do not remove anything
other from intel if it dont have the word graphic in it.
3. use driver fusion to remove amd driver remains + intel
remains.
4. use driver sweeper to do the same. for both.
5. use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove AMD. clean and
restart.
6. use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove intel. clean and
restart.
7. Navigate to "Device Manager".
Find and expand “Video adapters” section. You should see Two
"Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" devices.
find “Sound, video and game Controllers” section, expand it.
Locate “AMD High Definition Audio” device, choose “Uninstall”
and select “Delete the driver software for this device” check-
box if its present.
Reload Device manager : using scan for hardware changes.
This is it! all important files and settings of previous
driver are now removed. Now you are ready to install UnifL
Driver!
8. TO FIX BRIGHTNESS - after install set ftc values in ubr for both amd and intel as F940.
9. TO FIX SLEEP ISSUE - then use a registry editor software or the normal regedit to find all entries named -
"Display1_LVDSSetTimingControlFlags"=dword:00000003
and change them to - "Display1_LVDSSetTimingControlFlags"=dword:00000007
P.S. - if you get error during installation of intel driver then do the following -
*support.microsoft.com/kb/2500967
THIS IS DUE TO WINDOWS 7 TRYING TO INSTALL DRIVER BY ITSELF WHICH CONFLICTS.
note - How to determine which Generation is your card?
You can rely on Name of Intel Card in device manager, but what if it is generic like "Intel HD Graphics Family"?
No problem, since DEVICE ID will tell us what we need. Here is quick guide on how to locate it:
Hit start button and type "Device Manager", then launch it:
After that, expand "Display Adapters" menu and locate Intel graphic card, right click on it and hit "Properties" button.
Then navigate to "Details" tab and then in "Property" menu locate "Hardware Ids":

-5C in temps of gfx card. -8C when in 2d.
i tested with the following all at 1366x768 -
FIFA 14 [constant 60 no fluctuation, did that in 12.10]
PES 15 [general smoothness]
CRYSIS 1 [ great increase in feel and smoothness + constant 30 at all high ]
kingdoms of amalur [ constant 35, smoothness ]
the incredible adventures of van helsing [ generally smoother ]
will post results with - far cry 4, crysis 3 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. COP+MISERY2.2.1 later.

Be sure though the RAM is of is the same frequency as the factory installed one(if same brand then it's even better).

Thanks a lot for sharing the links, just one last thing I wanna know ( it may sound childish though) The two links you have given are from Google drive and One Drive and the size of the file is 245Mb while in the third link (*ge.tt/5BQuyZT/v/0) has the same file with 257MB, does the extra 12mb makes any difference ? I am confused which link i can rely upon.

[MENTION=125331]Gourav Kundu[/MENTION] - i think you can trust any of those links as they are from the official leshcatlabs website. But the one i was using was 245mb. also if you have got time to fix some stuff and are looking for a better driver than 12.10 you can get 14.4 [v2.4], its 415mb in size and has better performance than 12.10. but watch my previous posts in this thread to get 14.4 v2.4 up and running. i got everything fixed in windows 7, and if you have got win 8 then use any of the newer ones with dynamic switching.

Hello everybody. Recently my laptop's Ram (in additional slot) stopped working. I have been using HP DV6-6165tx since 2012. If I upgrade my laptop with a new SSD of 256 GB and Corsair RAM Vengeance 4 GB DDR3 1333mhz, It will cost me around 15,000 INR. What I am considering is to sell this laptop and purchase a new replacement desktop (within 50k) but I am in a dilemma, because I have no idea how much can I get for this 3 years old laptop. Also, HD6770m is a bit old for the latest games. Please help me in taking a decision, whether it is good to upgrade or replace the laptop with a desktop and purchase an additional netbook for mobility.I will look for your answers. Thanks.
