"HP Recommended".. the Min State Processor State was set@100% I changed to 5% and it return back normal.
I've been using HP Recommended since day one but only today the TBoost went nuts.  blink.gif

That was the problem............ In balanced, it won't be at 100%...

Avast fee or Microsoft Security Essentials.... I ditched AVG LONG time ago... (like 6 years ago) At that time it was version 8.....

Hi, sendoh_7, Thanks for your reply. Yes I agree with you regarding idm,
It should not have happen. I used it for almost 5 to 6 yrs, not encounter any problem with all laptop, pentium, due core, i7-740.

Due to my asus having heat problem, I formated it and installed dell with programs same as asus, even same version. (I kept the downloaded program for future use, did not delete them) That's why I am confuse now, dont know what is happening, windows update, or dell software ??

By the way, when I re-installing idm, I noticed 1 time, it stated incompatiblity regarding amd64. I google it, do not undestand.

And idea? bro.

Uninstall IDM, get the latest version....... form the site....

Guys what is the street price for dV6-6001TX & DV6-6114TX? I prefer to buy without the beats if possible... Will use the money saved from the beats for a laptop case, 9-cell battery, 3 year warranty and if possible an SSD.....
Would also like a blu-ray drive model... Anyone here runs DV6-6114TX in Linux? I may try linux once in a while and I think muxless designs are a pain on linux and *Hack*intosh.

OR, we could stick to the taskbar which we have been doing since Windows 95....all of these visual extras take a shitload of RAM and processing power....

I have tested, with all the gadgets like the network monitor, HDD monitor, RAM monitor, GPU Monitor...etc. All running, my laptop fan speeds up immediately....the second I close all the gadgets, the fan slows down....and CPU usage drops from 10% to 0%.

So pick, either eye candy and laggy gaming, or ok visuals and awesome gaming.

Sorry i do not actually own this laptop.... I am just repeating the advice given by other people previously............

And I have no experience on HP's service centre... So I will let others answer this......

There was an auto bios update last night on my dv6 14. Anyone got that too?

If its F.14 its not a new BIOS.... If its something with a version number higher than F14, then report back.

I'm pretty sure I didn't uninstall it.

But just to be sure, what is the name of the software?

I'm getting 19MB/s now.

External HDD I'm using: Western Digital My Passport Essentials.

You sure its USB 3.0? Does it have the "SS" logo?
