HP Pavillon DV2000 + TX1000 (same issue) really slow

[8ternity]

HI Everyone,

I had 2 HP computers that has the same problem. I will only refer to DX2000 the one i work on it for now.

It's an HP DV2000 with AMD TL-64 processur, 2 GB of RAM, bios updated to the latest, SATA hard drive.

When i turn on the computer, the bios took 30-40 seconds to start. Windows is fresh installed. The Windows is really slow! It's not a virus problem for sure.

I don't find any problem and really need help to know what is the problem.

Here what i've done;

- Cleaned the CPU heatsink and Fan;
- Changed Thermalpaste;
- Added an copper shims on the GPU
- Tested memory; successfull;
- Tested CPU (100% 2 hours, L1 and L2 caches) works #1!

The portable is terribly slow when i'm in Windows. The processor is reacting pretty well, not stay in 100% all the time, it's look like working well. But something is getting the system so slow.

Did anyone has the same problem, or know how to resolve that issue?

I also had a HP TX1000, same year, same series as the DV series. I know that prortable is getting GPU problem, my TX1000 wasnt working (i've reflow the GPU) and the computer was coming alive. But same problem has the DV2000.

Thanks.

The same bad nvidia chipset is responsible for the slowness.

The same bad nvidia chipset is responsible for the slowness.

How can we resolve that?

Driver? reflow the chip? Add heatsinc?

Install another OS?

Reflow and update to the latest BIOS. Should work for a while... They are crap no matter how you look at them tho, i wouldn't spend much time on them.

They are going to fail in 3-6 months no matter what you do, short of exchanging the chip with a new one, which is not worth the cost. Not even for people who do have all needed tools. I no longer bother fixing these boards.

When you ask to change the chip, you talking about the Nvidia chipset ?

Yes. Genuine fixed revision ones have a datecode of 2010 (not any newer!) and they are hard to get and expensive ($30-$50, sometimes more). There are a lot of fakes which are basically refurbished chips that you will only get 3 months out of.
