Can't update BIOS
by valeriag - 4/14/07 6:54 PM In reply to: See above posting by balestrmThank you so much for your help. I've followed the link, and downloaded and installed F16 version. But, when I tested out I still have the F13 version. Do you have any idea about why I can't update my BIOS?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!
Your trick does something...

having followed your steps ... It did take away the buzzing sound, however, it also makes my fan work a lot more and makes it louder (wasn't like that with previous settings). Any ideas?
And what's this about SATA? Should it be disabled or enabled?
thanks,
Michael

How to fix high pitch buzzing noise from intel based laptops
by ddubness - 10/12/07 12:20 AM In reply to: Buzzing noise using HP DV6000? by CocoagirlI recently purchased an HP dv6000 laptop that emitted a high pitch noise.
After some research I figured out that it was actually caused by the cpu going into a low power mode to conserve battery life.
I managed to fix the problem by turning off the abiltity for the cpu to go into a low power state in the bios.
Press f10 at start up.
Use right/left key to access system configuration
Use up/down arrow to select CPU C4 FUNCTION
Disable CPU C4 FUNCTION
Obviously battery life won't be as great but at least the annoying noise will be gone. If you decide later you need to, you can always turn it back on.
buzzing noise

Anyway. there is a work around. The problem is that this model has a fan that makes this noise and you have to set the bios so that it will not enable the fan at a certain setting.

by websterphreaky - 11/5/07 8:03 PM In reply to: buzzing noise by donhalpernI have a DV6540 and have never heard any "buzzing" or fan noise (yet) after having it for three months. I love it and I've had Mac PowerBooks back to 1998 ... it is ten times the notebook any MacBook Pro is at half the price! And Vista is so much more sophisticated and elegant than OS X is, it makes OS X look like OS 8.5. Ask any Mac Droid where the "Speed Boost" (instant extra RAM with use of a USB 2 Flash Drive) capability is in OS X Leopard? NOT!
HP laptops buzz from CPU, and Vista Sucks
by ebandit - 4/12/08 8:13 AM In reply to: I have a DV6540 and ..... by websterphreakyMy I had an HP dv6xxx with an Intel Core Solo CPU from bestbuy(cant remember exactly) and it made the electric buzz sound that is caused by the cpu because when under load the cpu doesnt do it, only when under no or light cpu load and the noise is louder when on battery power. HP claimed a bios update would fix it but it did not. I eneded up getting a different HP laptop DV6000 with an Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 and it does the same thing, HP claims again a bios update will fix it but I havnt tried yet and am going to try what was posted on here. It is NOT the fan doing it on either PC.
As far as Macs, I have no clue but do know windows is a bloated operating system that hog resources seriously and they get worse with each new release. Vista sucks, it hogs resources like no other and speed boost is nothing more than a marketing gimmick! It usually doesnt improve system performance to a noticable level, this comes from various computer realted mags and my own tests on a vista machine. I have 2 upgrade sent to me because of the two pc's for Vista Hime Premium and after trying it out on a pc (not mine) and reading about it, I decided to stay with XP Media Center until Vista is improved more. Vista mike look cool, but performance is more important to me if you have to sacrifice too much. I have 2GB ram in my laptop but still dont want Vista, becuase it would be like having only 1GB in XP if I upgraded.
