I had to unplug all, take out the battery, wait a while, put the battery in, power up, then plug in AC, then USB for it to work. It seemed to cause this error when I plug it into the shared eSATA/USB port during boot. error during BIOS post? I use a laptop cooler that is USB powered. If that card solves my issues, I will be a very happy man.Īlso, does any of you get 007 - Wifi card not compatible. Bearable, but will not be tolerated for an laptop of such class. It was constantly freezing with 14.2.x driver. It is only because I could not find a suitable replacement for its size and capabilities that I am trying to fix it. It plagued me so that I had thoughts of selling my envy17 and get another brand. In terms of the forward plan not sure what will happen with future driver updates but hopefully someone from HP reads this and does a comparison on the drivers to work out what may have been causing the wrote: Will post again in a few days to hopefully close this off. I found this information at the following site. Open Device Manager and go to Network Adapters -> Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN -> Right Click and select Properties -> Go to Power Management (Far right) -> Uncheck the box that says "Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power" Download and install driver version 13.0.0.107 from IntelĢ. Ok.so i'm really just posting this now for everyone else's benefit that may come across the same problem.Īfter preforming this fix I have had the Envy running for around 7 hours downloading, streaming radio and watching youth without any freezing!!įix for the Envy17 3D Wifi freeze issues with Intel 6200 wireless.ġ. Surely this is not characteristic of one of HP's top line PC's? HELP! I've tried removing and reinstalling the driver and anything else I can find loading thath looks like it runs through the wifi, including disabling the MS miniport wifi driver. If it was a hardware failure, I would think it would be more erratic and lock up regardless of file size? Nothing special on the PC MS Office 10, Adobe X, iTunes, Quickent, etc.

I've played around with the settings on the adapter and even on my router (which works fine with all other hardware on the network). It just stops responding (hardware and software). This is totally maddening! There is no warning and no error message. I finally figured out that any time I try to transfer a large file (~1GB +/-), the download speed begins to slow and then the machine locks up forcing me to do a hard reboot. Then, I tried to do an internal file transfer between 2 PCs on my network and the HP locked up. I first noticed a problem trying to download a movie on iTunes and spent a week installing/reinstalling/configuring iTunes thinking that was the problem. I have a brand new Envy17 3D running Win7 Professional 圆4.
