I have an HP pavilion with an AMD Phenom X4 9750 processor with an Nvidia GeForce 9100 graphics card. I have noticed a ridiculous decrease in frame rate that happens randomly while i play pc games that has not happened before. I have run complete system scans for malware and viruses and the computer is clean. Is there any way i can do something to find out how to increase my frame rate in games. I have dropped the settings to performance and lowered grahpics settings to low, these options still dont fix the frame rate issue. All driver updates are installed. I dont know what else i can do besides buy a new graphics card, but i would like to fix the one i have if at all possible.

The closest I come to an HP Pavilion dv6550us, on HP Support, or on the internet is;

Pavilion dv6550tx
Next inline is Pavilion dv6560us,
then Pavilion dv6450us

Do have a Block Diagram,

Both use the Fairchild Semiconductor Industries - FDS6679 - Power MOSFET, and Alpha & Omega Semiconductor LTD - AO4407 - Power MOSFET, in the DC - DC circuit; as far as I know.

Both are Obsolete, but there are cross match examples out there.
(FDS6679AZ for FDS6679, for one)

Indicates HP Pavilion dv9000 series, and AMD; but also matches up to the Pavilion dv6500 series,

Asking for a Schematic, do I assume you are attempting
Board Level Component replacement?

What SMD/SMT IC component are you trying to replace?
(Surface Mount Device/Surface Mount Technology. Integrated Circuit)

Motherboard chipset info, and processor socket info, for processor upgrade.
Same thing for Ram Memory upgrade.
It does use DDR2 Sdram (SO-DIMM), and at 667MegaHertz, to my knowledge.

What usually goes bad on the HP Pavilion dv2000 series, Pavilion dv6000 series, and Pavilion dv9000 series of Notebook PC's?

The cooling for the graphics chipset is inadequate, therefore the graphics chipset overheats, and partially melts the Solder Joints in the BGA surface mount.

Resulting in no graphics.

Power MOSFET's in DC - DC circuit go bad.

Here are the specs of the motherboard, both answers to your questions are "Yes". Happy purchase and have fun with it !

CPU
• Support socket AM2 for AMD® Athlon 64/Athlon 64X2 CPU / AM2+ for AMD® Phenom CPU / AM3 for AMD® Phenom II / Athlon II CPU . (95W only)
Please refer to CPU Support for compatible CPU; the above description is for reference only.
Hyper Transport Bus

• HyperTransport 1.0 supporting speed up to 1000MT/s

Chipset
• NVIDIA® nForce 630a & GeForce 7025 chipset



Main Memory

• Supports Dual Channel DDR2 667/800
- 2 DDR2 DIMMs (240pin / 1.8V)
- Supports a maximum memory size up to 8GB.



Slots
• One PCI Express 1.0 x16 slot.
• One PCI Express 1.0 x1 slot.
• Two PCI slots (support 3.3v/5v PCI bus interface).



On-Board IDE

• One IDE port by NVIDIA® nForce 630a & GeForce 7025 chipset
- Supports Ultra DMA 66/100/133 mode
- Supports PIO, Bus Master operation mode
- Can connect up to two IDE devices

On-Board SATA

• Two SATA II ports by NVIDIA® nForce 630a & GeForce 7025 chipset
- Supports storage and data transfers at up to 3Gb/s

RAID Function

- SATA II 1~2 supports RAID 0, 1 mode by NVIDIA® nForce 630a & GeForce 7025 chipset

if the 512mb nVidia is PCI-express then it is compatible. the point here the slot. if the slot is PCIE then the card should be PCIE also

To solve this problem, uninstall the old driver, the ATI Radeon, it will not cause a problem when you uninstall it. After the uninstall, restart the computer and then install the support cd for the NVIDIA Geforce 9500 GT.

According to this you can't.

more cpu and a better graphics card, id say get a amd athlon x2 dual core [Cpu]
And a Nvidia Gefore 8800GT

Remove the Fan assembly only and replace the entire plastic casing along with the fan preferably by the some manufacturer of the MB....sodeep

You have Vista 64 bit right? I looked and the newest nvidia driver is 182.08 located here:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_182.08_whql.html

1. Download this driver.
2. Go to the Control Panel, Programs and uninstall the current nvidia driver.
3. Shut down computer.
4. Remove video card and re-install it.
5. Start computer and install new nvidia driver.

what you will need to do is accertain which cpu format you have in your machine and find out if you have pcie 1 or 2

What is the Name and model number of your motherboard

The nforce 430 is an older chipset model and may not use the full capacity of the Phenom processor ...some boards won't even boot and there are Bios updates available for others ...etc

The onboard graphics (geforce 6150 se) is negated by the 8800 GTX ...good card......the problem isn't your video card

Your also running PC5300 ,,667mhz ram ....if board is capable of PC6400 ...800mhz ....there could be another speedup

The bottlenck seems to be with the board and possibly Ram

(Again MB model and name)

Also make sure you have all the latest drivers for Vcards ...chipsets BIOS etc......
