Anyway, I have been trying to get the drivers for it but it seems it is a Windows XP computer. I installed Windows 7 and I don't think they work right. I am about to wipe it again and install XP. I'd really like to keep Windows 7. My device manager is showing standard graphics card but I don't think that is what is in it. Could someone tell me what is in this computer and where to get drivers? Or let me know if I should put XP back in and what drivers I need. HELP!!!! Also, when on the internet I can't see the whole web page. Makes it hard to play some games. I have been trying to fix this mess for the last two weeks. Is there a program I can run that will tell me exactly what is installed in this monster??

Most of the DV8000 series has drivers posted for Vista- which may work in Windows 7. Which specific model do you have? Check the Service Tag attached to bottom for "full" model number or better yet Product Number (P/N)

I believe the serv tag # is dv8235nr. It's a little worn. LOL Sorry. I believe it has nVidia graphics card. Maybe. LOL I just want to make sure I am putting the corrects drivers in, if I have to go back to XP, so be it!! Thank you very much for the quick response. Looking forward to hearing from you again.

When I go to DEVICE MANAGER/Other devices it only shows 'Mass Storage Controller'. Under Network adapters I'm showing 'Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection and Intel PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection. Also under MONITOR it is showing 'Generic Non-PnP Monitor' shouldn't it show my monitor?

I did a clean install of Windows 10, but the Wi-Fi button doesn't work. Apparently there is a driver called HP Wireless Button Driver that I need to install. When I do a Google search for it, there is a link to an HP download page, but the link appears to be dead.

Okay, I think I've solved the problem. The first time I did a clean install of Windows 10, I didn't have an Ethernet cable connected to the computer. That led to all kinds of problems, including a total lack of Internet access and some devices not being installed correctly. Next, I reformatted the SSD and cloned my old hard drive, but that resulted in very slow performance, and I would get errors every other time I booted the computer (unexpected_store_exception, inaccessible_boot_device , and kernel_data_input_error). Also, the hard drive I cloned was running the 64-bit version of Windows 10, and I wanted to try the 32-bit version as I want to use some old software that will not run on 64-bit Windows 10 (for example, the Oxford SuperLex 3-in-1 Spanish, French and German dictionary).

Last night I did another clean install of the 32-bit version, but with a network cable attached. This time, after installing and updating Windows, all of my devices seem to be installed and working properly. This includes the Synaptics touchpad, the HP wireless button, the AMD Radeon display adapter and the Realtek card reader. I didn't need to install anything myself, and the Device Manager doesn't show any unknown devices. Also, installation finished MUCH faster with the network cable connected.

Conclusion: If you are clean-installing Windows 10, I strongly recommend that you do so with a network cable attached so that you will have Internet access when it is needed during the installation. With the cable attached, both my wired network and my Wi-Fi network were detected during the installation. Without a network cable attached, even my Wi-Fi was not accessible during installation.

However, the HP Wireless Button Driver did not help me at all. Under Windows 10, all it does is turn airplane mode on and off, which doesn't accomplish much when the network adapters (LAN and WiFi) are not working. Can someone please tell me where I can find the drivers needed to install the devices for a Pavilion g6-1d21dx after a clean installation of Windows 10.

Please ensure you have updated the BIOS to sp59790.exe (Version F.48 / Nov 20, 2012) prior to upgrading to Windows 10. As HP doesn't support this model with Windows 10, it may be difficult to find all the necessary to provide full functionality of the hardware. Lastly, please provide the Windows "HardwareIDs" (just the text string will do) for the all the unknown and/or missing devices, as shown in the example below;

Does anyone know if my BIOS version F.49 is newer than version F.48, which seems to be listed as the newest BIOS for this model? In my BIOS I don't see a release date for version F.49; is there someplace I can look for the release date? Thank you.

BIOS F.49 should be newer than F.48 and should contain all previously released code. Again, please provide the Windows "HardwareIDs" (just the text string will do) for the all the unknown and/or missing devices, as shown in the example below;

UPDATE: I've now had Windows 10 (32-bit) running on this computer for about two weeks. It is fast, and I've found that my old software runs better under 32-bit Windows 10 than it did under 32-bit Vista or 64-bit Windows 7. Overall, I'm impressed! This G6 still has one annoying problem, though--under power options you have to disable fast startup, otherwise whenever the computer powers up you get a BSOD and a restart. Usually the error is unexpected_store_exception but I also got kernel_data_inpage_error a couple of times. Also, the machine can't resume from sleep or hibernate--it seems to go into sleep mode and hibernate mode successfully, but then when you try to resume it spins its wheels for a little while and then just reboots, usually without an error message. Even under its original Windows 7 though this machine has always had trouble with sleep and hibernation. This is a problem that in my opinion HP should have addressed a long time ago, but oh well. I have seen some posts that attribute this to a driver incompatibility with the newest BIOS; apparently some people have solved this problem by going back to an older BIOS. I have BIOS version F.49 even though the newest available version on HP's website is now F.48. Maybe installing F.48 would fix the problem, but how am I supposed to know if HP hasn't provided the information. For now, I think I'll just leave fast startup disabled and remove sleep and hibernate from the power menu.

How install bang olufsen sound drivers hp pavilion game. there are nothing in driver center. there is one driver for sound, but when i downloaded and want to install. say not support your system! i tried to remove all driver and its same!

but recently i got strange problem! when i listen music and when i open one page or do something in my laptop i can hear noise in music! or stop like one second hang/crash and run again! i have watched task manager in cpu and hard disk and....

The OS version is Windows 10 Home 21h2. After a very recent update, it can no longer detect and audio output. Upon entering device manager it said no Intel High Definition Audio Drivers were installed and attempting to update via device manager gave no results. If anyone know where I can get a driver for this or some other fix it would be greatly appreciated.

I found the issue. If you are experiencing the same problem as me, open Device Manager and expand the System Devices drop-down. The issue was an outdated Intel Smart Sound Driver it seems and once that was updated the problem was fixed.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately there seems to be a problem with installing and deleting drivers as the corrupt one reappears after deleting and rebooting. The problem Driver is labelled as Other Devices and named Intel High Definition Audio(Error code 28). Would you know what to do?

Hello, how was you able to fix the outdated Intel Smart Sound Driver? I have a HP pavilion x360 as well that runs on Microsoft Window 10 (64-bit) and I'm experiencing the same problem like you had. The same person, BANHIEN, that helped you out, told me to install Realtek audio drivers from the Intel website since updating to a new OS (Windows 11), that the older OS (Windows 10) audio drivers won't be supported afterwards.

All was working well. resent update result in audio failure. There is no device installed and can not be fix with drivers from Microsoft update site or manually. When connect external speaker sound is ok.
