Hi is me again, long time no see guys.......... my problem is still not fix after 1 year using this HP pavillion. Personally, what happened on me is my laptop does not perform as well as my friend's Acer.. both using same i7..
should say : mine is worst than his even though his Acer is cheaper than mine.

I dont know whether this problem could be solve anot just try my luck here.. anyone experience this? Like minimize, closing tabs, alt tab those is not as smooth as normal laptops.. i did all the windows update (important)...

- never update my graphic card before.. but i dont think it is the cause of my problems? playing dota 2 recently, graphic is nicer and proven okay.. just alt tab those is not smooth....

i just don know how to describe but this problem bother me for long long time omggggg.. it sucks! just 1 opinion... overrated DV6!

normal HDD is really slow, maybe your friend's Acer notebook is having a better HDD than yours.  Your HDD will also perform slower if you have many files in your HDD/partition, your HDD will then respond slower

the more windows update you install, the slower your pc will become because it has become heavier for your windows to boot.  therefore i off windows update since day 1.  one more thing that will slow your pc is the anti virus software, your pc will boot significant slower if you install those heavy anti virus/protection such as Kaspersky, Norton etc

i don't play games with my notebook therefore i don't update the graphic driver

SSD is so cheap now, change your HDD to SSD, you will see significant improvement on the performance.  your current HDD can be used as external HDD in a USB 3.0 Enclosure

I have this problem since day 1 i bought it last year but never bother to care about it till today, it really bothering me because some of the old laptops is smoother than me on those minimize / alt tab while gaming thingy.. really sucks.. and i do use Kaspersky now dont think it is the reason of the spikyness. I did all my updates and again i dont think it is the reason because i have that problem since day 1..

i think is about the speed/processors.. but i m not good in laptops or PC.. so i dont freaking know.. what is SSD/HDD care to explain? sorry im noob. doh.gif

SSD is solid state drive which performs few times faster than a normal HDD, hard disk drive that comes with the notebook (750gb).  although the price is higher than a normal HDD but its performance is undoubtedly a lot faster.  you won't see those 'spikes' anymore

what i want to know is anyone of you experiencing the same thing with me? or only im the one facing problem?
izit normal happen in this DV6 which cost me so much more than normal laptop but it perform lower.

Since u never update your graphic driver.. download this last driver from HP and install it.

Yeah that delay/spiking in Aero definitely annoying.  laugh.gif
To clean the HSF you need to remove almost everything except the LCD.  ph34r.gif

so bro, using different driver manager will solve the problem anot? if yes, please teach smile.gif
