Im having trouble figuring out why my pc runs so slow when plugged in.

I have an i7 thats stuck running at 0.79ghz and wont even budge when doing little or intense tasks.

Gpu is the same, not even using a tenth of its power making games very slow.

I been through settings, cleared off space, checked for any bugs, been through all power setting putting them for best performance etc and same for gpu. i even changed out the battery and used another factory power supply (as i have another similar unit). Bios has no options that help either. 

im out of ideas.

Please help

Thanks in advance

No Bluetooth on my 4540s laptop

$

I have spent a few days looking for a solution for my Bluetooth capability on my HP Laptop.  There used to be a Bluetooth icon near the clock on my laptop.  It never seemed to work very well, I have purchased 3 different Bluetooth speakers and they always have to be repaired for every use. I went to the HP website and used the utility to identify my laptop and recommend drivers.  I installed a Bluetooth update and now nothing works with Bluetooth, the icon is now absent as well by the clock.  Device Manager shows Qualcomm Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adaptor installed & working, however, I have no way to add a Bluetooth device of any kind since the update.

 

I have clicked on many Bluetooth HP solutions found online, all of them are dead ends (pages missing).

 

What else can I try? Thanks.

On Screen Touch Keyboard Keeps Popping Up and Laptop Is Too Slow

Hello HP Community!

 

I have a HP Stream x360 - 11-p010nr (ENERGY STAR) and am having two issues with this product. I've had this for about 2 years now.

 

My problems are the following:

1) Recently, when I open a tab on google chrome and open a page that requires something to be typed, the touch keyboard will pop up EVERY TIME I click the text box. It's getting annoying and I don't know how to turn it off! 

 

2) Even worse, now, if I open 2+ tabs on google chrome, or any other program, the laptop says that it cannot open the page because it is low on memory. I'm not quite sure what this "low on memory" means as I have already deleted many garbage  images, prgorams, etc... May someone please help me? 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Moving cursor on touch pad

$

Notebook bought last month. The cursor moves on its own down the screen.

 

BIOS was changed a few days ago. The driver was updated a few days ago, so it's the latest.  But the problem continues, although it did get better with the cursor not "running away" so often.  Restarting the notebook hasn't helped.

 

The tests from an HP diagnostics tool show that all is OK. There is nothing on the touchpad for the cursor to move like this.  Apparently, HP customer service reps don't really know what is going on, and the last experience I had was an hour wasted for the second time.  So, if anybody has an idea of what this issue could be, please post.  

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

I have the same question as this! And apologies, I didn't really understand what you meant by 'Solid-state drive Only configured with system memory up to 8 GB' - does this mean that Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SSD would not be able to work with 16 GB of RAM on my system?

 

Thanks

Downloading HP Power Manager software

Hi,

I recently purchase this laptop. It appears to me that the only option to adjust the battery charging state is by the PowerShift in the HP Power Manager software. The software is already included in the system but I would like to obtain the setup executable just in case. I searched around hp web site as well as Google site search but I just cannot find this software. Is there anywhere I can download this software? Thank you for your attention.

 

Best,

Eric
