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

[saurav_wow]

Guys,
i hav 6121tx. My HDD has Partitions as
System reserved
C: 582GB
D:Recovery
HP_TOOLS
i want to split 582GB C drive to C:180GB and 2 other data partitions without deleting Recovery and HP_TOOLS partitions. Please Help me

i suggest using Acronis Disk Director suite to achieve the above if you want to modify the partitions without re-installing the windows OS.

Believe it is the best way.... it has nice interface and chance of anything going wrong is unlikely.. Using the windows built in disk management you cannot shrink the C: drive to 180 GB..for me it never went below some 300 GB (idont remember exactly)

somebody please help me..

should i buy a dv6 6165tx?
or should i go for lenovo z570?

please help me its urgent..
i have to purchase a lappy before my college opens..

any other good lappy b/w 50k ??

I would blindly go for the HP 6165tx..

does anybody here having problems of crashing and flickering playing battlefield 3 on dv6 6770m and sick of doing driver updates???

no such issues for me.. finished the game twice.. work flawlessly..

HI Guys!
I want to buy HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx.
I was going thru d thread n noticed many post abt its various issues.
Is it a good laptop o no.. considering it has DDR5 n graphic switch is fixed with the new BIOS update?
If not can you suggest me a good laptop with the same or higher config. my budget is 62k-65k?

Go for asus N55Sf best laptop for 65k some of the members have already purchased this laptop. U can get it even cheaper if you are in kolkata try vedant and md computers and for Bangalore try jainex computers

hello guys
i got my hp 6165tx .

please tell me about heating issues in this laptop during gameplay.that's the only thing which worries me.and tell me the best cooling pad for 6165tx ??

which cooling pad can significantly reduce temperatures during gaming?
and should i keep laptop on ac power even if battery is fully charged??
please reply soon

before you buy a cooling pad.. please go through the following article and understand it..

Tip: Buying a laptop cooler? Make sure you get the proper type! | Tips 'n Tricks | dotTech

keeping the laptop on ac power when the battery is charged should not be a problem since it automatically cuts off charging when the battery is at 100 %.. it actually by-passes the battery and powers your laptop.. however it is recomended that you use your Laptop on battery power ocassionaly..
for more knowledge look at the following articles..

Extend battery life: Conserve battery power on laptops, notebooks, and netbooks

I would recommend to contact HP support.. The laptop should not be making such noises.

i hav 6121tx, but now a days it's performance is reduced to a great. i dont know what is the reason. before 2 days i partitioned my hard disk as in the image. I think this may be the problem. much time needed for opening an application eventhough their is more than 2 GB of RAM is available . what to do ?? Sometimes Security Essentials shows a virus named Ramnit. but i cleaned them

If you are too much into gaming buy the new HP envy 14 with 7xxxM series gfx card. There are no major issues with the laptop. It plays demanding games without any problems/overheating. WiFi is OK too

If you have a decent broadband connection run HP Support Assistance dor driver and BIOS updates.

Set CoolSense to Coolest Mode while gaming

Download Core Temp for monitoring temps

Make Recovery DVD's (4 blank DVD required)

Backup SwSetup folder from C drive in case you are planning to update to Win7 Ultimate or any other windows.

Update Graphics driver ATI Catalystâ„¢ Mobility Display Driver

Re: Dell XPS 15 or HP DV6-6165TX

Hii guys i have bought a dv6 6165 just 2 days ago but i am experiencing some difficulties.

first of all its hanging too much and i just don't know what to do.

secondly the speed which i expected is not obtained.

the time taken by it to start up is more than my previous laptop which has a core 2 duo processor.

also can some one tell me how to turbo boost my laptop as i have no knowledge of it and what to do with the graphic card, i mean what change in settings as i tried playing assassins creed and it didn't run smoothly.
