[Drivers] HP dv3-2XXX, Compaq CQ35 / CQ36 (INTEL)
Last Updated: July 25, 2011
Please note that due to the number of driver threads that need to be managed as well as the lack of support HP now provides for these notebooks, updating this thread is going to be less of a priority. However, updates for this particular thread will still occur if something very important is released.
Based on dannyres's thread and my other driver threads, I've decided to post the latest drivers that are compatible with the following notebooks using an Intel processor below. It is part of my ongoing, informal commitment to help assist those who had performed clean installs on their HP notebooks. Please let me know if you find newer drivers or other devices so I can update this post!
Compatible notebook products ("x" denotes a numeric digit):
- HP Pavilion Entertainment Notebooks
- dv3-20xx, dv3-21xx, dv3-22xx series
- dv3-23xx series
- Compaq Presario Notebooks
- CQ35-xxx series
- CQ36-xxx series
NOTE: All of these drivers come from HP's website, Microsoft Update, and from other reputable websites (including other manufacturers). All of the drivers here are WHQL Certified or digitally signed drivers, available as of the date when this post was updated. These drivers should be compatible with the notebook series stated above, but I am not responsible for technical difficulties that can occur as a result of improper driver installation!
Following along the same lines as the other driver threads, the process of installing and updating drivers is for ADVANCED/EXPERIENCED users only. Average users can use the drivers located at the HP support portals -- they're the safest and simplest way to go in terms of drivers for your specific model. Some of these drivers may work with notebooks other than the stated brand and models, but this is NOT guaranteed. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK -- only install these drivers if you know how to revert the changes that you have made should any problems be encountered.
Intel Chipset Device Software
| Important Information | - To ensure that all device drivers are updated, simply execute the downloaded setup file using the -overall parameter.
- Example: If you saved the downloaded file as infinst911autol.exe to the root directory of C: drive, you can launch the Run command (Windows key + R) and insert "C:\infinst911autol.exe -overall" in the Open field (without the quotes). Press OK to begin the interactive installation process.
- Starting with Intel Chipset Device Software package version 9.2.0.1016, the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver may become overwritten with the driver that exists in the package if it is installed. Should such an instance occur, reinstall the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver afterwards.
