My Bios is updated version F.B1 I guess. Sometime during windows boot up, there will be a message indicates CPU fan not working properly and auto shutdown. Normal case, it will boot up but the CPU fan will start make a 'cracking' sound even in idle mode. Sending to HP service center now... rclxub.gif

I have the same problem too.
But I cannot leave my laptop there as I have to use it everyday. sad.gif
Please do let me know what they do to your laptop and how many days you leave it at the service centre.

May I ask what is the drawback if I install Windows 8.1 on my laptop?
Like what kind of software wont work there? eg Beats / HP CoolSense
Or everything will work perfectly? Need some advice before installing it in my laptop. Thanks in advance.

I am having dual boots on my laptop (win7 & win10) now.
I noticed that my laptop getting slower in booting up (boot to the option to select between the OS) compared to previous (win7 & win8).
Any idea on why it is slower?

DV6-6001TX? You can try modded BIOS and disabl the dGPU.
Which part is the difficult part? Better buy the fan at Lelong or Taobao or somewhere else and change it yourself imo.

Normal repair shop probably will cost around RM150-RM200 but i'm not sure so don't quote me on that.
You guys did clean installation or upgrade?
*
upgraded from win8 and then reset it by removing everything (files & apps) <wrong move as it wiped my win7 partition as well cry.gif >

from the circling part > black screen > lock screen wallpaper, that black screen part took almost 1 min or more.
already disabled those unused startup app and there is no high startup impact app in list.
really have no idea what else can be done to lessen the boot time rclxub.gif

You can try install Windows Performance Toolkit for Windows 10 and run boot trace.
Download http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526740 and only tick WPT when installing.

Then run xbootmgr -trace boot in CMD. Let the PC reboot and wait for the trace to finish.

i managed to find the culprit. its the amd catalyst.
solution is to use leshcat.
may i know which version is supported for our dv6-6001?
