W540 Nvidia Quadro K2100M Code 43

I bought a new W540 a few days ago and have been setting it up; upgrading to Windows 8.1, installing software, etc.
Today I noticed in the Device Manager that the Nvidia Quadro K2100M disreet graphics has stopped.  This is the error message:
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
The problem code is 0000002B.  
The onboard Intel HD Graphics 4600 is working fine.
I am certain that the Nvidia card was working before, but I don't know exactly when it stopped working or why.  I've attempted to reinstall the graphics drivers multiple times, but no result.  
When I try to access the Nvidia Control Panel, it says "You are not currently using a display attached to an Nvidia GPU".  Not surprising since the device has been stopped by Windows.
When I try to disable then re-enable the device in the device manager while the onboard graphics is active, the computer will crash (or appear to crash) without a BSoD or any error messages.  The screen will show the desktop background colour with some broken windows (fragments of borders), and nothing will move.
If I disable the onboard graphics, the Nvidia card's error is the same.  Then if I disable and re-enable the Nvidia card, it will say that it is working, but the computer does not use it.  On reboot, it will have the same error.
I'm aware that hardware failure is a possibility.  I'm hoping to exhaust other possibilities before getting this thing serviced.

"Just did a factory reset. Same problem. Looks like a confirmed hardware problem"
The joy of Optimus (see also Dell's M-series)... Let's hope that Lenovo will fix this together with Intel and nvidia, rather soon - the 540 is quite late on the market already.

  • Why does my Thinkpad W541 use Integrated graphics in WoW instead of the nVidia Quadro K1100m?

    I have seen reviews by many people on the W540/541 and they all said they were getting around 100 fps in WoW and even the guy in this video was able to play it on high-setitngs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0j045vg3W8 Don't get me wrong I use this device for mainly professional work, but every now and then I would like to be able to play a game on it or two. thanks!

    According to a number of contributors on a number of threads regarding the same subject, THIS IS BY DESIGN.
    If you want to force use the K1100m on the W541, it will need to be (a) on an external monitor and (b) controlled through a dock, rather than via the video connectors on the laptop itself.  According to "the specs", the laptop screen is always handled by the Intel Graphics... no matter whether the W540/W541 BIOS is set to "basic" or "advanced" graphics mode.
    According to the following description of how graphics works in W540/W541 and newer machines (which is that Optimus Mode is always active, although you can select "basic mode" or "advanced mode"), you simply MUST use Optimus Mode and cannot disable Intel Graphics as you could with the W530.
    Now I'd always thought that in theory for the laptop screen you can use nVidia Control Panel (3D settings) to specify which programs you want to get nVidia graphics for when those programs' windows have focus).  But my experience (granted, with the W530 and not with W540/W541) is that nVidia graphics kick in (and take over for Intel graphics) reliably only when the firmware determines that graphics performance requirements justify it.
    Strangely, the description of Optimus Driver behavior (below) makes no mention of the NVidia graphics ever kicking in for the laptop screen, but I thought that was how it worked.  Confusing and contradictory descriptions, seemingly.  You'd think that gaming applications would be just such an example of "graphics performance demands nVidia graphics", but your thread subject suggests that nVidia is NOT kicking in (I assume you're running on your laptop screen, and have probably tried to go to nVidia Control Panel to request nVidia graphics when you run WoW), which would be consistent with the written descriptions but very definitely annoying.  On the W530, Optimus behavior had the K1000m definitely kicking in on the laptop screen when needed.
    So apparently by design Optimus is always active on W540/W541 and newer machines. You can´t actually disable the integrated GPU at all and force the use of the discrete graphics, as you can on the W530 for the K1000m nVidia graphics via its BIOS. Here is the description of Optimus Drivers for W541, which describes Standard vs. Advanced mode, and by implication how the new W540/W541 BIOS design works:
    STANDARD and ADVANCED MODE
    In Standard mode, all dock displays uses Integrated Graphics as display output
    and is limited to a maximum of 3 displays including Computer's LCD.
    While in Advanced mode, all dock displays uses Discrete Graphics as display
    output and it increases the maximum number of displays to 6 including Computer's LCD.

  • W520 over heating and nvidia quadro 2000m disabled by windows

    I rencently reinstalled windows 7 on my W520 and it refuses to activate my nvidia quadro 2000m (Code 43)
    For a while the fan is overheating and the right left hinge become very hot.
    I think the graphic card is dead but I want to know why and if I can stop the overheating.
    Is the the graphic card soldered onto the motherboard of the W520?
    Thanks for your help.
    P.S: Only the Intel HD graphic chipset is running ...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    After install win7 I install the driver for the wifi and the lenovo system update software. Then I run it and check if all devices are enabled. If there is someproblem I download the drivers from the website.
    I already tried the nvidia optimus display driver and the the nvidia card is still disabled. I also checked if optimus is enabled on the BIOS and it is.
    I used Lenovo Solution Center Lite to test the graphic cards and only the Intel HD Graphics 3000 can be tested. I got messages like "Can not send OpenCL and Direct3D command" and the result code "WVC000000-WJHZ4H" for the nvidia so the soft can not test it.
    My opinion is that the nvidia is dead and I need to replace it if the it's covered by the warranty otherwise I will have to buy a new desktop to play my games and use my W520 only for programming ...
    EDIT : I think my battery is almost dead, before I reinstate win7 I got a warning that battery should be changed. Can it have led to a malfunction that damaged the motherboard or the graphic card?
    P.S: I made a mistake, it's not the right but the left hinge that heat ... sorry.

  • W540 Thinkpad Nvidia Quadro K1100 Issue

    I bought a new W540 Laptop, I disabled Intel Graphics card and I tried to open NVIDIA control panel. 
    It gives me Error NVIDIA Display settings are not avilable. you are not currnently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU.
    I tried to uninstall and install the driver agian. I check dvice manager and the driver is installed proberlly.
    Any advise how to solve this issue.
    Thank you

    You can't actually disable the Intel graphics. The display is always driven by Intel graphics, and the Quadro just renders frames when it is on, sending them to the Intel graphics to display them.

  • TECRA S5 Nvidia Quadro NVS130M - Sudden BSOD - Win 7 Pro 32-Bit

    Having moved from Vista to Windows 7, everything was working fine until two days ago, when suddenly my Laptop stopped working. I was forced to hard reboot it, and then all hell broke loose.
    The problem is as follows:
    Part Number info: PTS53E-00S009EP - Toshiba Tecra S5 - 2GB Ram Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 2.0 Ghz - Nivdia Quadro NVS130M
    Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit begun to suddenly report and error code 43 for the graphic adapter (Nvidia Quadro NVS130M). I had the latest nvidia drivers, so I uninstalled the previous ones and rebooted the machine and installed the new ones. After reboot the Laptop crashed with a bluescreen.
    I reverted to last known good configuration (default vga adapter drivers from windows which does not recognize the Nvidia Quadro NVS130M) and the Laptop booted up normally allowing me to enter Windows again.
    I went back to the previous Nvidia drivers, and the same issue happened, bluescreen, revert to last known good configuration (default windows vga adapter driver).
    I went back to the latest drivers for the Nvidia Quadro NVS130M found on the Toshiba downloads site, same situation as before.
    I went all the way back to the oldest drivers on Toshiba Support Downloads site, and still the issue remains.
    I have Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit since August and everything was working fine, it is fully updated, and have always used Nvidia's drivers both wit the factory default Vista and Windows 7.
    I have not installed any windows updates recently, the last being early november 2011.
    The only recent change, about 15 days ago, was that I finally found the drivers for the SD Card reader, they where for windows XP interestingly enough, but Windows 7 immediately recognized the SD Reader which it had not done until then. It couldnt even identify the sort of hardware it was.
    I tried uninstalling the toshiba drivers for the SD Card Reader, but even then with that uninstalled, and the hardware disabled in the hardware management, when i try to use the factory drivers downloaded from Toshiba the bluescreen still happens.
    One other symptom I've noticed is that if the bluescreen does not occurr ( when it does it specifically lists a file from the nvidia drivers as the cause), the computer will stay with a black screen and the fan will be running at extremely high speed, but there seems to be no HDD activity, as the HDD activity light on the Laptop does not light-up at all.
    I have read there is an issue that may lead to the computer blocking or freezing unless the latest version of UPEK software is used. However it does not mention anything about a Bluescreen. Also since the Bluescreen error message specifically states the name of a Nvidia driver file, it wouldnt make much sense that he problem was the UPEK Fingerprinting software the one that was causing this.
    It wouldnt make any sense at all since if I leave the default vga adaptor driver operating only and do not install any driver for the graphics board everything works fine, SD Reader, UPEK Figerprinting, etc....
    I had everything working, including the fingerprinting software until exactly two days ago, so thats also puzzling me.
    I have run Symantec's Endpoint Protection AV Software and the computer is completely clean, there are no virri, and nothign shows as abnormal.
    I am now totally out of ideas and I cannot seem to find any information on this subject.
    Your help highly appreciated and urgently needed, because if all else fails, I would be forced to rollback to Vista, something I really really really would not like to do, due to the usual hassle of reinstalling OS,Office, and Software for a grand total of over 50GB, and due to the fact that Vista is vastly inferior in so many aspects to Windows 7.
    Thank you in advance for all your help and support.

    Hi Jorge,
    I also read about fingerprint driver which cause a freezing on Tecra series but as far as I know it was related to A11 and M11 series the S5 should not be affected but to be honest the described issue sounds more like a graphic chip issue
    Possibly its not graphic driver related issue but graphic chip issue
    But did you try to test the notebook with fresh preinstalled OS? Try this and use the OS which was preinstalled by Toshiba in such case you could check if its really a driver problem or chip issue

  • PPro CS5 not talking to NVidia Quadro 4000...

    Apologies in advance if this has been covered a million times on here (and feel free to point me to a thread), but...I have a new Mac setup, Adobe PPro CS5, and the NVidia Quadro 4000 card with MPE/Cuda. And PPro is not using the GPU.
    I do have the latest drivers (for the card and for CUDA). The card was installed a month ago and I grabbed the drivers at that time.
    Recently I worked on a simple 7-minute non-HD video, with no effects and minimal editing...and the publish time was 7 minutes or so.
    I was expecting faster. And while it was publishing, my computer's CPU gauge said it was running at around 90%. I made sure the PPro project setting pointed towards the card GPU.Obviously the MPE and/or CUDA is not kicking in.
    I have spoken to PNY (where I bought the Nvidia card) and they said if I have the latest drivers and could actually see something on my screens, then the card is working and...you know...it must be a problem with the PPro aoftware.
    Oh, the Mac is a 2010 model, 8-core with a ton of RAM on it.
    Thoughts?
    John

    You are not understanding how the MPE engine works. The MPE engine does not lower the overall load of the CPU as far as usage. It lowers the instructions ie the types of code/threads it has to handle in a given time period. The CPU has to handle all  of the Decoding/encoding of the codecs/ie material that you are using. It will also have to process any non accelerated effects. It also handles all memory management and interrupts that is required by the applications, machine code, and hardware. The GPU handles the scaling, interpolation, and some of the effects besides drawing and GUID code. The CPU has to process the Decode then cache the material to ram so it can cache over to the GPU card Ram for CUDA processing. Once threading is done via the GPU then it caches back to the system ram for the CPU to final encode and adjust further frame data for effects. All of this means the entire pipeline happens faster the more load the CPU can handle focused on specific functions and at what GHz those process through the system during a given time. So basically the MPE allows the system to process more work in a given time period simultaneously essentially. So the higher the load on your CPU the faster your entire workflow will process. In simple terms, this means you want the highest CPU load you can get because that means the GPU, system ram, disks, or board throughput is not slowing anything down. Your at 62%. That means your system somewhere in the pipeline is not allowing the cpu to run at max performance in that given time period. I hope that clarify's what you are seeing and why.
    And yes, OS/Application threading and caching is also included in not allowing the CPU to run at max capacity.

  • Nvidia (Quadro K2000) Driver isn't installed during OSD (Task Sequence succeeded) - HP Z620

    Hi everyone,
    I have added a driverset (HP Z620) in SCCM for the first time using our internal procedure (Importing Drivers to SCCM, Create Driver package with specific category, apply driver package in TS using WMI to query for the model).
    The Task Sequence succeeded, but the NVIDIA K2000 Graphics driver isn't installed (only HD Graphics 4000 driver).
    Looking at the drivers in the Driver Package, this should normally apply since the driver is compatible with this specific GPU.
    At the forums, I can see that some people have created a seperate package for the GPU driver installation using command line switches.. But looking at the environment at the customer, we have never done this and in the past, we have succesfully installed
    the driver for this GPU before.
    PS: The driver for the GPU in my new driver package (HP Z620) isn't the same as for previous models (HP Z220, Z230, Z600).
    Could you please advise me what to do? Should I have added something in the driver sources before importing the driver to SCCM?
    Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards

  • W540 Nvidia geht nicht

    Bei meinem W540 unter Windows 7.1 64Bit funktioniert nur die interne Intel HD 4600, die NVidia läßt sich nicht ansprechen (siehe Bild). Ich möchte Intel komplett ausschalten und nur NVidia verwenden, ich möchte NICHT selektiv einzelne Anwendungen für NVidia enablen.
    Folgende Dinge habe ich beachtet:
    - neueste Treiber von Lenovo und von Nvidia probiert (aktuell Nvidia 340.52), immer vorher sauber deinstalliert
    - im Bios ist discrete Graphics gesetzt
    - in NVidia unter Set PhysX Configuration explizit NVidia Quattro K1100M ausgewählt
    - das Bios ist auf dem neuesten Stand (letztes Update kam heute, ändert nichts)
    das Problem tritt unter allen Auflösungen auf. Da ich einen 40 Zoll 4K Monitor habe, ist es aber besonders nervig, da Intel HD Probleme beim scrollen hat, ist halt nur eine interne Grafik.
    Außerdem fällt mir auf, dass das Signal 2-3 mal pro Srtunde einfach wegbleibt, der Monitor schwarz wird. Das liegt NICHT am Monitor, was der Anschluß meines zweiten Thinkpads (ein W520) belegt, da flackert nichts und da funktioniert auch die NVidia-Grafik wie beschrieben. Ich bin an einem Punkt, wo ich überlege, den W540 wieder zurückzugeben, so macht es keinen Spass. Haben/hatten andere das Problem auch und ev. schon gelöst ?

  • W540 Nvidia Grafikkarte wird ausserhalb der Dock nicht benutzt

    Guten Tag,
    ich habe ein W540 Notebook mit einer Nvidia K2100 Grafikkarte. Im Bios habe ich eingestellt, dass in der docking Station immer die Nvidia Grafikkarte verwendet wird. Dies funktioniert auch ohne Probleme. Sobald ich den PC aus der Dock nehme und z.B. ein Spiel starte wird dafür immer nur die interne Grafikkarte verwendet. Selbst wenn ich in den Systemsteuerungen einstelle, dass für bestimmte Anwendungen die Nvidia genommen werden soll funktioniert das nur bei den Internetexplorern, CAD oder Spiele passiert garnigs. Als ich das Notebook gekauft habe, hat das wunderbar funktioniert.
    Ich verwende W7 Software ist auf aktuellem Stand (Lenovo Update Utility).
    Ich hoffe, dass mir jemand helfen kann. 
    Vielen Dank
    Grüße

  • W540 - Nvidia Optimus Driver Update - upgrade query

    Is there a chance that Lenovo will certify the latest mobile/quadro drivers for use on the W540 - the March 5th release seems to have it's core Nvidia driver elements made from Nvidia Drivers which date back to Q3 2013 -325.xx?
    The first time I noticed this was in my failed attempt to play BF4 on my machine - if anyone has any success in getting BF4 to run on their W540 - (I have the Nvidia K2100) but the game launcher prompts that I don't have a supported driver version - I had some success disabling optimus (switching to advanced in bios), installing the driver on discrete only (advanced) and all this does is allow me to skip the driver check (but the game run horribly - looks like it runs from the intel HD gpu only?)
    So in other words could Lenovo distribute an optimus driver which takes in the latest enhcancements made to the latest Nvidia/quadro WHQL (latest being 340.52 WHQL released on the 10th of July 2014!).
    I'm by no means an expert on drivers/certication - I have only dabbled in tweaking/editing ini files and some Nvidia inspector on my Desktops - but i don't think it's a stretch to assume the improvements/bug fixes made in later driver versions are worthwhile being added to the Lenovo system - Aside from my laptop's secondary function to play a few games, It's a workstation - any "free" improvement to the performance of Solidworks would be welcomed.
    Alternately, has anyone had success installing/adding optimus drivers from other sources? - Not expecting Lenovo to inform me of this but if any of the other users have had success I might be inclined to try other solutions

    It looks like you've mentioned it, but changing the video mode to "Advanced" in the bios (despite it saying something about the dock) let me install the drivers.  I had the same problem where the installer kept rejecting me saying that my card is not supported before switching that setting.
    With the official driver, I have not had any problems with it switching to discrete graphics.  In the Nvidia Control Panel, try enabling the option "Show Notification Tray Icon" under View and you'll have a little square icon in your system tray that lights up when the Quadro is being used (yes, it'll light up for fullscreen apps that you alt-tab out of).  For cases where it doesn't activate for certain programs, you *must* create an .exe profile and enable discrete mode in that profile.

  • NVidia Quadro 4000 and early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1)

    Hi to all.
    I think my display card just died.
    I've been wanting to get the NVidia Quadro 4000 for a while now as I do editing professionally and would like to make the Adobe Production suite zippier.
    So now, I have no functional card for my monitors. Can I use the NVidia Quadro 4000 for my Dell monitors? One of the Dell's has a DVI-D2 input but the other has only VGA as far as I can tell. Or does it make more sense to get a different card? Or both the Quadro and a lower level card?
    Also, does the NVidia Quadro 4000 need extra power and if so, how easy is it to connect and would I be able to use the DVD burner?
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Running Snow Leopard, 18GB RAM

    So many questions and so little time... lunch!
    There is Wikipedia.
    AMD = OpenCL
    Nvidia = OpenCL and CUDA
    CUDA is part of every Nvidia card, GeForce GTX or Quadro
    Open source compiler to make CUDA and OpenCL much easier and better (OpenCL is 4-5 yrs old but a pain to code and optimize with a lot of micro management. Not today but AMD's support for just OpenCL is limiting. But something to support both technologies is a year away probably.
    Dual boot is a must! Clone your system / or install Lion on 2nd drive
    Setup Assistant to import from 10.6 to Lion so you have both.
    Clones as backup.
    Out of the box: the startup is missing on screen without the modification. The drivers are normally and only found bundled into OS X which is why you don't normally see or have to go to AMD to get the latest driver. Or downgrade to a better working driver. you have to rely on OS X and version.
    That is why GTX 5xx and 10.7.3
    OWC charges more than Amazon or Apple and charges for 6-pin cable. The 5770 does work - with 10.6.5 or later. It does not work with older OS - no driver. It does not allow you to boot from your 10.6.0 DVD and install.
    You could order the GTX 570 (I'd skp on 560, I have looked into both but up to you). And 680s are not supported yet, and still scarce. But great card for the $499.
    The GTX 570 2.5GB was the one recommended with its 2.5GB VRAM. $349.
    http://www.evga.com/products/
    To get a boot screen means modifying the card which means sending it to Calif and $100 + shipping.
    Some people use the GTX purely for CUDA and still use ATI 5770 for their monitor.
    Oh, yes, died. No card on hand as backup or spare.
    Shame. I'd toss coin and then go with.... Q4K but
    http://www.amazon.com/PNY-DisplayPort-Profesional-Graphics-VCQ4000MAC-PB/dp/B004 CRS78O
    You could wait and see. I'd over night the Q4K for $810, then see how that does, it does have 2x the VRAM. And you could use GTX 570 or 680 down the road when you do upgrade to Lion plus.
    Comparing 5770 to Q4K:

  • NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 in a 1st Gen Mac Pro?

    Hello, is it possible to use the new NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 in a 1st Generation Mac Pro?

    Not if it doesn't have EFI32 ROM code (firmware) on it. Any card to run in OS X needs special EFI firmware, and different for 2008 and before.
    Of course, if you want to use it in Windows, should be able to.

  • NVIDIA Quadro K2000M Stress Test Warning

    Anyone with the NVIDIA Quadro K2000M card:  Has anyone received a stress test warning after running a hardware scan?
    I am currently connected to only two monitors (through the dock). And during the scan, I only had a couple of browsers open. I was not streaming or watching videos;  simply reading a couple of articles  (nothing "stressfull" taking place).
    This is the first time this has come up; I will be checking settings and running the test later.
    I couldn't find anything on the result code I received:  WVC00V000-WJSWSM
    Just thought I would check if anyone else had received the same result (stress test warning if not same code) and  what the final outcome was.

    Similar result on a T530 with i7, 8GB, and NVidia 5400: installed new version of Lenovo Solutions (prompted by Lenovo when I opened my existing version), ran full hardware check, everything passed except stress test on video card, which gave warning with result code WVC00V000-UJ8XWD.  Am also running in a dock (Mini Series 3+, not the USB 3.0 version) with a single external monitor attached to a DVI port.
    Interestingly, the log section for the NVidia 5400 says "Displays: 4", as if it thinks that I have 4 displays attached (whereas the log section for Intel 4000 video card says "Displays: 1").  Since the dock could output three displays (two outputs that can be either DisplayPort or DVI, plus one VGA) and the laptop screen is active, perhaps the program is assuming that it's actually running four screens.
    The fan exhaust put out some serious heat during that part of the test.  A couple of programs were open but not in use during the hardware test.  I had not run the hardware test under the previous version of Lenovo Solutions, so I don't know whether it would have shown the same thing, or whether it's new to the new version of Lenovo Solutions.
    Would appreciate any insights the community has to offer.
    Thanks.
