Windows 8, 64bit install on a HP Pavilion dv8000
January 28th, 2020
I have a HP Pavilion dv8000 with a AMD Turion 64 1.8 GHz processor that should be able to run windows 8 64bit but when I try to install, it prompts a message saying that my processor needs repair and that it can’t run the 64 bit application.
Any thoughts on the matter?
Are you trying to install it by booting or from windows itself?
Isn’t the max memory on that 2 gig? If so why would you install a 64bit OS.
Besides after looking at the HP site I don’t think the motherboard supports it.
512MB 333MHz DDR SDRAM
your ram is quite old one-required-2gb
your maximum ram is 2gb -buy one 2gb ddr3 ram
you cant get drivers even for windows 7 on hp website
use vista drivers You should be able to use the Vista drivers for most of your hardware
