Problem with recognising radeon 6490M graphics card on Pavilion dv6-6176sa

So,
My laptop was having some issues recently with the graphics, it basically wouldn't recognise either the intel or the radeon graphics card. I tried updating all drivers under the sun but nothing worked. In the end I formatted my computer and reinstalled windows, did all necessary updates windows and HP ones. Now my laptop would recognise both the intel and radeon in device manager but my computer was constantly using the intel card, I read up a bit and figured this would be due to an issue with the switchable graphics.
I did the bios and drivers updates and changed switchable graphics to fixed mode, this seemed to do the trick and my laptop ran like it should be for a few days. This morning I start watching some of my shows and then my screen freezes and it starts making a bunch of noise (similar to what it was doing pre-factory reset). Oh dear, I turn it off, and leave it off for a bit figuring maybe it had overheated. I turn it on again, now device manager wont show the radeon card and AMD catalyst produces a warning message saying that there is no AMD driver compatible with the CCC (well it was just fine yesterday, no updates, program installations or anything run since then)
I'm now wondering whether there may just be a hardware issue and that it's time to pack in my laptop or if this could still be a driver issue.

@Piids 
Download and install the most current AMD graphics softpaq.
You can get it from the download section of your notebook's web support portal.
Do not install the Intel graphics driver softpaq seperately. Doing that will remove the switchable graphics feature.

  • I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

    I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
    After five days of testing in the service they can not  found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
    New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
    Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

    You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card.  But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
    What program are you trying to run?  Is there anything in the system log? 
    I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

  • Problems with BIOS for new graphics card!!! HEEELP!!!!

    Hello,I just recently received my new graphics card (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960), and I am having some troubles getting it to work with my computer (p7-1072sc). I go myself a new PSU (Crossair CX600M), istalled it properly, pluged all the components up and put in the new GPU. Every time I turn on the PC, it freezes at the blue HP loading screen and does not respond to any keys.After some google searching I found out that I most likley would have to update my BIOS, so I went to the HP homepage. Entered my modelnumber, downloaded the new BIOS update (My current version was 7.14 13.10.2011), the update said the version was 7.15 05.25.2013. I downloaded the exe file, closed all other programs and ran the file. I started out as normal, but as the main installationprocess started I got the message that hpprobar3 stoped working. The computer freezed for a short while and then I got the message that the new BIOS had bin successfully installed, so I restarted the comuter. After that I checked back on the systems information and the version had bin changed to 7.15, but the date was still 13.10.2011. I tried the same rpocess again and the same thing happened.  I ried again to put in the new GPU, and it still froze on the blue HP loading screen. I also tried to find the directory for the BIOS file (sp55548.exe) (to make a flash installation), under c:/swsetup, but I only found one folder named sp68021. Can anyone help me with this?? I would really appreciate any advice sort of advice!!!
    PS: I am pretty new to all this stuff, so please be patient and explain any technical informoation or terms.

    As stated before, and as a refresher. I just got off the line with MSI and EVGA.  What you have is a Legacy motherboard. It can not function with a UEFI BIOS graphic card. That said:MSI (Greg):  The 750Ti NF has a switch for Legacy/UEFI.  All others in the 700 series are UEFI.  The 900 series, plus the R7, R9 ship with the new VBIOS, a hybrid that detects the correct BIOS (Legacy/UEFI). EVGA (Kayon): All 600 and 700 except the 750Ti are Legacy. 

  • Problem with the ATI 200M graphics card in a Satellite A110-334

    The computer is used both for office and home use (playing games, music etc)
    Only one problem after 6 months of use, but I can't get around it.
    When I start up Quake 3 all is well I can play for let's say 10-20 mins.
    After that I get a Blue Screen of Death saying that there was some memory error connected with the graphic card.
    Windows "tells me" to change the video card (it's not something i can do with a laptop ;) ) or to contact the hardware producer to change the bios because something could be wrong.
    Well only think I could do on my own was to change the drivers (I found some compatible with my card) but that didn't help. I also tried to change the amount of onboard memory used by the card (It uses x amount of available RAM), but to no avail

    Hi,
    which drivers youre using?
    Did you checked already these drivers out:
    http://www.omegadrivers.net/
    Maybe it helps. Otherwise you should send your machine to an authorized service partner for a hardware checkup since your machine is still in warranty and it wont cost you anything.

    Hi,
    Here is my /var/log/messages.log output.
    Since several days my computer repeatedly restarts programs that require at least a bit memory, such as firefox ('segmentation fault'), skype, virtualbox, generaly gnome 3 environment. Sometimes it happens that the system hangs and I can't do nothing, although I can hear that hard disk is working - at that moment only hard reset helps.
    I know that the Dell Inspiron laptops (1720) have problems with Nvidia 8600M GT (the cold solder). Is it like that this time? Or maybe something wrong with the memory, CPU (Core Duo) cache memory?
    I will be happy to add any additional information.

  • MS6167 - Problems with NVIDIA GeForce FX5600 graphics card

    Hi all,
    tried to install a Nvidia GeForce FX5600 old PC of mine that the kids use, mobo is MS-6167. Could not get this to work. States that it cannot get enough resources (in Windows XP, Device Manager). I have tried to force reasign of IRQ from the BIOS on reboot, and even removed the sound card.
    Could this be a power issue, though I assume the card would just not work or crash.
    Any help apprecaited.
    Thanks,

    "AMD's 750 Chipset
    Power users looking for next-generation features such as AGP 4X /my marking/ and PC133 SDRAM support are currently out of luck on both AMD's Slot A and Intel's Slot 1 infrastructure, as chipsets that support both features are in the latter stages of sampling among motherboard manufacturers. Before a motherboard can tout such features, the motherboards' chipset must support them. All Athlon motherboards currently available ship with AMD's 750 chipset, which only officially supports PC100 SDRAM and the AGP 2X interface."
    Source: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/6167/default.asp
    Ad libris: Meaning, I don't think your Nvidia card can do AGP 2X. Bad news could be you'll have trouble fitting the previous card. Your best bet would be to get a powerful PCI-slot only card.

  • 15" MBP i7 with AMD Radeon 6750 Graphic card - video artifacts

    Hello -
    After I connect a projector with HDMI, the projector starts having broken up/disrorted images at start up.  I brought my machine to the genius bar once and the tech used a few combo keys and it cleared the video memory and was like new again.
    Does anyone have the key combo?
    Better yet, is there a permanant fix?

  • Radeon 9200 graphic card on MSI KT6V-LSR mainboard crashing

    My problem is as follows: I'm running my KT600 mainboard (MSI KT6V-LSR) with a Radeon 7000 graphic card without any problems at all. However, when trying to upgrade to Radeon 9200, the machine crashes right after login in Windows XP and I actually have to remove the mainboard battery to be able to start it again. I'm using the latest Catalyst drivers (5.11). It works fine in safe mode and in vga mode. Any obvious solution on this anyone?

    Quote from: Dr Stu on 14-November-05, 04:30:20
    sounds a bit extreme. does your system have a reset button?
    No, just a power button. However, no response on it after a crash like this.
    Quote from: Dr Stu on 14-November-05, 04:30:20
    have you tried uninstalling the Catalyst drivers in Safe Mode and then rebooting, then reinstall drivers once windows has loaded?
    I have uninstalling/installing the drivers a couple of times yes.
    Quote from: Dr Stu on 14-November-05, 04:30:20
    lastly, Is your problem caused by your PSU? please provide your PSU specs in case that is the cause of your woes...
    My PSU is a 350Watt powersupply. The case actually prevent me to see the brand of it, so this is all I know. BTW, the Radeon 9200 card is running perfectly fine on another mainboard I have (asus), so I guess the graphic card is fine.

    Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
    Thanks.

    I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • Firefox won't redraw on analog monitor driven by Radeon 4350 graphics card

    I'm running two XP SP3 on a reasonably current desktop with 4 GB and an ASUS Radeon 4350 graphics card with 512MB. The card drives two Samsung SyncMaster 2443 monitors, one from analog RGB port, the other from a DVI port. I've been using Firefox since v.3, but sometime around v.8 or v.9, it began to have problems when ever I had a Firefox window open on the analog video port. (I'm current with v.27.0.1)
    The window 'appeared' to freeze - clicks, scrolling and the like failed to produce a re-drawing of the window's content. However, if I dragged the window over to the other monitor running off the DVI port, the Firefox window would re-draw itself with the new content. This behaviour told me two things. On the analog port the Firefox window was still alive, and responding to keyboard and mouse inputs, but not displaying the results. Secondly, the problem was related to the Firefox - RGB interface. Oh! I forgot to mention: Firefox was the only application exhibiting this behaviour.
    A support session with ASUS produced no solution. After searching several related Mozilla support issues, on a problem closely related to mine someone suggested turning off the hardware accelerator, and re-starting Firefox (Tools > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"), which I did. Poof! Problem solved, case closed. Except, Why?
    Is this just because of my hardware setup? Or Firefox - I generally have 6 to 10 windows open at a time, some with several dozen tabs (I'm a software architect, so tend to keep a lot of context on the desktop). I'm glad I can scroll Firefox now on my other monitor, and click buttons and be able to read the response, but I think there's a defect here somewhere...

    I think it has something to do with the acceleration compatibility of many type of graphics cards.
    "Unfortunately, due to the wide range of possible driver, video card and operating system combinations, hardware acceleration or 3D web graphics (WebGL) may still not work for you in Firefox. In these instances you fix the problems by disabling hardware acceleration and WebGL. "

  • HP Pavilion p6-2155a (64bit, running Win8.0)- Problem with AMD Radeon HD7450

    Hi,
    Have noticed various posts re problems with AMD Radeon HD7450.
    For several months, I've had problems with my "video hardware causing Windows to stop working correctly". Until yesterday, this was more of a nuisance than a real problem (so I thought). Yesterday, I had my first BSOD, caused by video_scheduler_internal_error.
    Today, I downloaded sp59360.exe & installed, as suggested by the HP website. On checking the Device Manager, this driver appears to be older (Version 8.982.10.0, Date 28.8.12) than the one I had previously (Version 8.982.10.6000, Date 18.9.12).
    About 30 minutes ago, while away from my computer, I think I had another "video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly".
    Have I done the right thing in installing sp59360.exe? Should I roll-back to the previous driver? What is causing my problems? Is it possibly a faulty card?

    Hello @Mazza52,
    I understand that you are getting a BSOD error related to your graphics card and are seeking assistance. As you have tried multiple drivers and are still getting the BSOD I think we should do a backup and recovery of your computer to rule out software as being an issue.
    To backup your personal information and ensure that it is not lost I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), which will ensure your personal files are up to date.
    ***WARNING!! If you want to keep any emails or bookmarks/favorites you will want to back those up as well as I do not believe they are backed up in the HP Backup process.
    Next, I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will you through recovering your computer back to factory settings.
    *** IMPORTANT - Your personal files such as libraries, personalization settings, user accounts, and desktop themes are permanently removed. As well the computer settings are returned to the defaults (the way it was when it came from the factory). All apps and software that were installed on the computer when it came from the factory are reinstalled, and their settings are reset to the defaults. Additionally, software, apps, programs, and everything that you have installed or saved on the computer are permanently removed.
    If after this you still have the same problem then the issue appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
    As for the drivers you installed and had installed the Version 8.982.10.6000 driver from what I can see is for Notebook computers and just happened to work for you the driver Version 8.982.10.0 is the one you should have installed.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
    Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

  • ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card Windows 8 driver missing

    I just installed Windows 8 Enterprise Trial version on HP nx9420 laptop (2GHz dual core prosessor, 4gb memory, ATI Motility Radeon X1600 graphics card with 256mb own memory, 1680x1050 native display resolution) on second partition, side by side with existing
    Windows 7. 
    Installation succeeded perfect, except Windows 8 couldn't install, nor did find from Windows Update display driver for ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card. Only Microsoft generic display driver was installed and it offered maximum 1450x800 resolution,
    so not laptops native 1680x1050 screen resolution. 
    Windows 7 can install working ATI driver right from Windows Update for that graphics card (version 8.561.0.0 dated 1.12.2008). 
    Laptop manufacturer HP has latest, old driver for Vista (version 8.453.0.0 dated 22.1.2008), so I installed that, selecting compatibility mode Vista with setup-program in Windows 8. That installed, but seems to have some problems, telling of missing library,
    maybe with some ATI extra diplay manager software and C++ 2005 library, that it installed. 
    MY QUESTION: Is there some problems with Windows 8 and that ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics card? Why isn't the Windows 7 -version of ATI mobility radeon X1600 display driver available in Windows Update for Windows 8 too? 

    Thank you all of your thanks. 
    I can confirm that this solution works with Windows 10 Technology/Insider preview too. And surely works with forthcoming Windows RTM too. 
    Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TP work both like a charm with nearly 10 years old HP Compaq nx9420 laptop, with Intel Core 2 Duo and ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 display adapter. Nice co-operation of "old" hardware and very Modern Windows OS.
    So in brief:
    If you have laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 or other X1000-series display adapter and
    you want to install Windows 8, 8.1 or 10, do this:
    0) First just install Windows 8.x/10. It will install Microsoft Generic display driver, but that doesn't support full resolution of ATI Mobility Radeon X1000 -series - for example it may show maximum 1400x1050 -resolution, thus your laptop display and Radeon
    X1000 may support native 1650x1050, but you can't obtain that resolution with that Microsoft generic driver. So you need ATI-driver and you can get it this way: 
    1) With Internet Explorer (this doesn't work with other browsers) go to
    Microsoft Update -catalog:   http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/
    2) Search "ATI Mobility Radeon X1600"
      (or X1300, X1800 etc)
    3) Sort search results by date (last update -column), latest on top. You will see drivers for Windows 7
    - they will work with Windows 8.x and 10 too. There is certainly two of them; other is 32 bit only and other is 64 bit dirver.
    4) Select proper driver version of them, according your Windows 32 or 64 bit, so click Add
    5) At top-right click Show basket and then download those driver packages to your computer. They are cab-file
    -packages. 
    6) Obtain 7-zip -utility, install it and with it unpack that cab-driver package on folder with its package-name.
    7) On start of taskbar, right mouse button click Windows-Start and then select Hardware management. On
    Hardware management -window open Display adapter -section, then mouse right click Microsoft adapter and select Update driver. Then on next window, select search driver from computer. 
    8) Browse on folder, where you unpacked ATI driver (on stage 6 earlier) and select Next ... that updates
    driver, on the go and you don't need even to reboot Windows. 
    9) Now you have proper ATI Mobility Radeon -driver in use. It  surely sets automatically resolution
    according your laptop screen (so recommended native resolution of screen panel) or you can select that on diplay settings. 
    Extra: For that Windows 8.x/10 boot works fine too, do this too: 
    Seems that Windows 8.x (and Windows 10 too), with their hybrid-shutdown -functionality, require some support of the display adapter, that ATI Radeon Mobility x1000 -series don't have. 
    So the solution is to disable that Windows 8.x (or Windows 10) hybrid boot -functionality (that is quicker boot) and to use "normal boot". 
    You can fix that this way:
    - at end of Taskbar click battery/power icon and select Power settings
    - navigate to power and sleep settings
    - either at bottom of those settings, or in Win10 more power settings, select power buttons functionality/settings (so what power button, sleep button or closing laptop screen does)
    - at bottom of those settings is shutdown options (or with similar name). uncheck "use quick boot" -settings (for to uncheck that you may need to click first upper "changing disabled settings" (or similar name) at top or windows) 
    (I recommend to check Hibernate at the same time too, because that is usefull)
    - then Save settings and reboot Windows and you have got rid of that problem that Windows 8.x/10 don't show Lock screen, now it does.
    Boot takes just a little longer, so practically no problem. And if you need quicker boot with laptop, use Hibernate-state, so don't shut down your laptop, but instead put it into Hibernate-state (that is better than Sleep mode, because Hibernate-mode doesn't
    consume battery-power, like Sleep-mode does)

    The fastest way (which will take a while) is to:
    1) Make sure you have an up to date backup with time machine.
    2) Boot from your Leopard install disc or disc that came with your computer.
    3) When choosing an install method you can choose an archive and install or erase and install.
    4) After the OS is installed it will ask you if you want to restore files from another drive, partition, mac or time machine.
    5) Choose time machine and get your files restored.
    6) Once the mac is started up.
    7) Go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html and download the 10.5.4 combo update.
    8)You then need to use software update to install all of the updates that came after 10.5. UNCHECK the 10.5.5 Combo Update. You can even select to ignore that update by checking the box next to so that it is selected and then selecting ignore update from the update menu in the menu bar.
    I have not tried using Time Machine to go back an OS version. I will experiment with that.
    I can also tell you how to clone your drive to another drive using the same DVD as above and two hard drives.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard?...

      Hello guys, I was just needing to know if my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard, the reason I'm asking is BC I'm needing to upgrade my Video Card to NVidia so that I can get 60 FPS in my Games, right now I'm getting half that which is 30 FPS and sometimes it drops to 4 FPS. LOL can you believe that?, 4 FPS LMAO come on man, somethings gotta be better than ATI Radeon 3100....Hope to hear from you...

    I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:

    Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
    I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.
