Hi guys,
I just bought a dv6-6140tx. Had some queries. I upgraded the BIOS and all the drivers using HP Support Assistant. In previous posts, lot of you adviced to switch the graphics to 'Fixed' mode in BIOS settings for enabling switchable graphics. After the update I went to BIOS settings but was not able to find any such setting ? :-?
Can any of you please help me with it....


Also which is the last stable version of CCC that supports Radeon HD6770M card. The latest CCC i.e. 12.xx doesn't seem to support Radeon HD67xxM series of cards.
Please advice and also provide the download link if possible ....

T.I.A.

Thanks @Prongs298, but I restored my laptop to my factory settings, and then tried to switch via Fixed Switching.
But the same problem persists so I am currently on a chat to the HP support assistant. I think it is an hardware error.

I had frequent hang problem and finally got a replacement. The new one is working good so far (touch wood). If you are eligible for a replacement, go for it.

I just installed battery bar some time back... it says that my battery wear is at 10.2% and that it's still calculating the run time...

6140Tx was brought out exclusively for CROMA... They may still have some excess stock that they may look at getting rid of... so wait for a sale :p

Having a strange problem. I run without battery coz i'm on a home ups. Sometimes the laptop resets automatically w/o any error/msgs. Can't find why it is happening. I found no driver issue so far(all are updated). I'm using on fixed graphics mode, and disabled 3D safeguard(thought this was causing the reset, but seems that's not the issue).
Someone else facing this problem too?

yes, with battery also. It happens once in 2 days in avg. Sometimes it resets while using winamp or playing games eg HL2(I use a cooler while gaming, and the temperature stays normal). Once it happened while I was transferring files from ext hdd. I just bought the laptop, haven't paid yet.

Sounds some internal problem (electrical) :|. If it restarts without battery, fluctuation from UPS could have been a reason, but with battery, :confused:. Get it replaced if you haven't paid.

^If you are able to get the extended warranty, get it for sure. Going by the past record of HP, you might face problems later on. I hope that it doesn't happen, but what do we know. Better get the extended warranty, and be on safe side.
