New member to own a HDX Need help :)

OK so I have joined the owners clubs of HDX

It is really amazing, and I am really enjoying it. I have many questions and I have browsed the forums but cant really find my answers so thought id ask here .

I have a /hdx 9250ea,
T9300 core duo 2.5
4gbram
nvidia 8800m gts

I am wanting to upgrade some things but not having much luck, on crucial.com it has told me I cannot put any more RAm in is this true?
Also what are the steps to upgrade maybe the graphics card, proccessor maybe?

I have also installed windows 7, was this a bad idea? I cant get my volume touch pad to work,

Wouldnt mine just finding out some information anyway

Thanks in advance for reading this and for replying

 

Welcome to the forums, Tekkon.

You should be able to put in 6 GB (2 GB + 4 GB DDR2) or 8 GB (4 GB + 4 GB DDR2) of RAM. However, obtaining the 4 GB sticks is difficult...and expensive.

You should be able to run Windows 7 on your notebook; other HDX 9000 users have done so successfully. Take a look at CompTrekkie's Windows 7 post...it's a great place to start:

ah thanks for the reply I read few them I might try and reformat and follow his directions exactly, I am pretty bad with these things, do I literally just type DDR2 4gb ram hdx 9200 and see what I find?

I am having this annoying problem, I have re installed twice and every time my computer usage randomly shoots up to 100% constantly, I know its something to do with SVChost.exe and I have googled it and tried different things but nothing seems to work. I am certain that it is something to do with the drivers I am installing....... any suggestions?

 

Also "Trusted Installer.exe" keeps popping up
