Bluescreen! Updating Lenovo's nVidia driver for Win7 64bit on my w520

No other messages were found that addressed this:
Audio out  disappeared for no obvious reason playing web content on a TV through the DisplayPort (DP->HDMI adapter) on discrete graphics settings (in BIOS.) Most important, clicking the nVidia icon in Control Panel didn't bring up any dialog or control box/tool. So I went to the Lenovo driver updates for my machine and there is offered a very recent package of drivers for all the machine's graphics: nVidia and integrated. I downloaded that and ran it. On the restart the w520 bluescreened and a repair routine started that took a while to get the w520 booted. Looking at the "System" log there are a series of kernel power Warnings.
The event text says:
"The speed of processor 2 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report." This doesn't *seem* to be related to graphics...
When the machine was up and running I went to the Control Panel and the nVidia software didn't start from the icon there, so probably no change. Same as before trying to install the new drivers. I had made a Restore Point just before trying the driver upgrade.
The driver package was dated August 2012, I believe. Anyone successfully loaded this set of drivers?

Not getting completely solved. I installed the Lenovo driver with a driver file freshly downloaded. Process seemed to touch all bases... screen went to low resolution in the middle of the process. After two restarts needed to return the display to full resolution I see only one "nVidia 1000 Quadro" device under video adapters in Device Manager. I thought the integrated Lenovo device was going to be there, too. Further problem: there is no nVidia item in Control Panel.
My goal is to be able to have beter control over when the nVidia board is running, as I use Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. sometimes. I shoot tethered professionally. So I want to *know* when I have the boost from the nVidia hardware.
Will someone please confirm that I should be seeing the integrated graphics solution in Device Manager? ...and the nVidia control panel in current driver?
Thanks!

  • G700 OSD-Driver for Win7 64bit

    Hello!
    Today i have installed Win 7 Professional (64bit) on my G700.
    It works, except for one thing.
    I can't find a driver/utility for the OSD (multifunction buttons like WLAN and Bluetooth)
    I've downloaded and installed the "Lenovo Energy Management" for the G770.
    By this way the "OSD-Software" was installed and it works fine, except for two points:
    1. there is no option to disable the Wireless Lan Card
    2. the battery is not identified/supported
    Is there another way to download a matching "OSD-Software" for the G700?
    Greetings
    Solved!

  • Latest Nvidia Driver for G560 does not install!

    Hi,
    i've tried to install the latest nvidia driver for my G560. But it seems like the only driver working on this system is the preinstalled driver from Lenovo.
    I always get the message that the driver can't find the required hardware. I've downloaded the correct (Win 7 64 Bit) and latest driver from Nvidias webpage. I've even tried some older drivers from the drivers archive.
    Does anybody have a clue how I can solve my problem?
    Greetings Cpk83

    It does look like the correct driver. But I noticed this "Note: The following notebooks are not supported in this release: 1. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power with Intel chipsets. 2. Fujitsu notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) notebooks are supported in this release. 3. Sony VAIO notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Sony VAIO Windows 7 users can click here for driver update support. 4. Any notebook that is launched after the release date of this driver. " Does anyone know if this laptop has Hybrid Power? Also here is a good tip/recommended from ATI. "Advisory: The display driver supplied by the laptop manufacturer is customized for the built-in flat panel display, and the graphics features and functions specific to the laptop. It is strongly recommended to use the supplied drivers. If installing a different operating system other than the one included with the laptop, the laptop may not meet all the requirements, and supported drivers may not be available. The laptop manufacturer is the exclusive provider of driver updates. If the required driver update is not available at the laptop manufacturers’ website, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer directly, to see if an updated driver will be made available in the future."

  • Update intel hd graphics driver for hp pavillion p6210y desktop

    I can no longer view some youTube in full screen.I hane nto had this issue before. I did all suggested: Updated Adobe (all products) and disabled hardware acceleration. The last recommendation is to Update the Intel HD Graphics drivers and I don't know how. I know almost nothing about computers (I should say I know nothing). Is there someone who can assist me?

    Hi:
    The product specs page for your PC indicates it comes with a NVidia graphics adapter, not an Intel one.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01859864&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
    You can install the latest nVidia driver for your PC from the link below.

  • Need Creative SB Live! value (WDM) driver for win7

    hey,
    ? i just upgraded my PC to win7 and am looking for ideas to get my sound card (Creative SB li've! value (WDM) working again - is there an updated driver or?do i put another Win7 compatible Sound card?
    thanks,
    ? ramesh

    Re: Need Creative SB Li've! value (WDM) driver for win7] the driver and applications that exist for the package are very crippled. The card is very very old, even though I loved mine when I first got it. The headache and workarounds that you would have to use in order for that card to simply function are not worth your time.
    I am not here to market, but in the last month I have been switching between my Dell OEM xtreme Music, my X-FI Titanium and my Fatality Gamer Pro Platinum. The last two are great cards and have worked for me at least, flawlessly in Vista and Windows 7. I admittedly use the Daniel K. 2.0 pack as a base for my software install of all three, but that coupled with the newest Creative issued driver have worked beatifully.
    I picked up my Titanium off Ebay for $40.00. I bought my Dell OEM card for $30.00. I bought the I/O bay for the X-FI Fatality for $25. So your options are very open. That old li've will not accelerate sound well at all for Direct X based games, and you will be very disappointed. Again, all this is opinion, but I have been switching intensely between the above cards lately, and they are worth it. I do not have digital speakers, like the Logitech z-5500's. But my four year old pair of Logitech z-640's sound fantastic. I tried even with my onboard sound just for giggles. It was just that:? giggles.
    Try this for a great price and fantastic performance.

    Hello,
    I'm kind of a noob and am trying to get follow the directions from the Nvidia wiki on installing on a custom kernel.  I'm trying to use the abs method to install on kernel26rt version 2.6.33rt.  I followed directions exactly and am getting an error that I didn't find on any other posts.  Can you please take a look?  Here is my terminal:

  • Can't find nvidia driver for my HP Pavilion dv6000

    Hello,
    I just upgraded my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Starter.
    But i can't find a NVIDIA driver for it. 
    My laptop name is Pavilion DV6000 and i have a 32 BIT.
    Please can somebody help me?
    Vincent

    Hi @viniboy007
    I understand that you  are looking for a driver for your notebook, and that you have upgraded to windows 7.
    Please post the full product number for your notebook, so I can post a link to the supported drivers for your notebook.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    If there are not supported drivers for that product from HP, then it means the unit was never sold in that configuration. Then I would refer you to this page: What if I Don't See My Operating System?
    The problem then is more about trying to find drivers that will work, that have not been customized by HP to work with the other components on the notebook.

  • Compiling nvidia driver for custom kernel

    I have a Toshiba M200 tablet PC running Arch Linux (which I love, btw) and it's running fine, including the tablet.
    There's an irritating bug with suspend-to-ram (suspend-to-disk doesn't work with the nvidia driver) where the tablet pen stops working after resume.
    There's a patch slated to be in some future kernel, but I compiled my own with that patch included. It boots fine and all seems to be well with it.
    However, I need to compile the nvidia driver for it, since the binary does not work. So I copy /var/abs/extra/nvidia and modify the PKGBUILD and nvidia.install files per the instructions on this wiki page, and run makepkg -i -c .
    I get a big error message early on, saying
    If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
    you either have configured kernel sources matching your
    kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
    on your system.
    If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
    you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
    installed on your system. If you specified a separate
    output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
    the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
    directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
    Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
    kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
    their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
    the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
    *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
    I've checked everything I can think of.
    $ uname -r
    2.6.25-tablet
    ls -l /usr/src shows linux-2.6.25-tablet, and linux is a symlink to it. /lib/modules/2.6.25-tablet/build is also symlinked to the right kernel source tree.
    So I'm out of ideas for why the nvidia makefile can't seem to find the kernel source.
    Thanks in advance.

    @klixon:
    I think that may be the root of the trouble: I compiled the kernel on my desktop (C2D 2.8) rather than my wussy laptop (1.6 Centrino). It installed and ran fine and all that, but I only have the kernel source tree that was included in the package, not the one that really compiled the code. Would simply copying it suffice, or should I rebuild the kernel on my laptop? Also, the PKGBUILD is included below.
    @shazeal:
    I believe this is a subset of the problem I describe above?
    The PKGBUILD, somewhat customized from the nvidia ABS. I don't think any of the changes are overly shocking.
    I've tried dozens of different modifications of it now. The simplest one is just appending '-tablet' to pkgname and _kernver.

    Hi gryloo,
    You can download all drivers for your notebook on this page:

  • GE60 0ND missing RS driver for Win7

    Hi,
    I'm performing a downgrade from Win8 to Win7. I've installed all the drivers except for the Radio Switch driver which is listed on the MSI site & supplied on the drivers dvd for Win8 only.
    Can someone upload/direct me to the correct driver please.
    The notebook is a GE60 0ND (ms-16GA) with bios v5.04. The MSI www has bios 10.E listed???
    http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GE60-0ND.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8%2064
    Have found nothing with google & can't force the win8 driver...
    Thanks

    You don't need the Radio Switch driver for Win7 it is only needed for Win8: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh450832(v=vs.85).aspx
    That's why it is not offered.

  • Qosmio F50 - Need to update BIOS in order of installing Win7-64bit

    Dear community,
    I plan to update to Windows 7 64 bit. My notebook is Toshiba Qosmio F50-10M with a preinstalled VISTA32bit.
    Is there a need to update the BIOS prior installing the new OS? I read that there is a BIOS update f?¼r VISTA64bit available but none I discovered for Win7 64bit.
    Can you give a clue?
    I am confident and glad to own such a powerful notebook but this not completed OS named VISTA is driving me nuts increasingly reading all those nice reports concerning the benefits of Windows7!
    Eager to read your welcomed responses
    Yours,
    Starmind

    Thank you for anwering Paolo!
    Do I understand the right way? I shouldn´t change BIOS if I don´t encounter any problems?
    But I should change the BIOS from 32 to 64 bit if I install the 64bit version of Win7? I intend to do so as I plan to use the full memory of my machine (I use VISTA32 at the moment).
    I should change the BIOS prior installing Win7 as I understood as posted earlier?
    Thank your for your kind assistance!

  • TS140 RAID-Driver for Win7 32bit

    Hi, i will install Win7 32bit on a TS140, Model: 70A5. I try this one: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/servers/thinkserver-tower-servers/thinkserver-ts140/downloa...
    Then i get an error message that this driver is not working with the os.
    What is the correct driver for RAID in a TS140 Server with Win7 32bit?
    Many thanks.

    Can you please give full model info - it is 10 characters (6 more following 70A5) ?

  • M52: TPM Driver for Win7?

    Hi there,
    I am refurbishing a ThinkCentre M52 (8114-E9G). To this end I installed Windows 7 Professional x86 (which the M52 series was not certified for, I know—but for home use that shouldn’t matter too much).
    Now the Device Manager states an unknown device with Hardware ID ACPI\NSC1200, which apparently is a Winbond (National Semiconductor) TPM (Trusted Platform Module)device. The support site lists a driver for Windows XP, that doesn’t install in Windows 7, however.
    Is there a driver available for Windows 7, and if so, how can I obtain it?
    Thank you very much in advance for constructive hints to this avail.
    Greetings
    Sven
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To answer my own question, and as a heads-up to those who want to run Windows 7 on this oldie but goldie—
    The TPM driver for Windows XP offered for download by Lenovo support can be installed running the installer in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode. The TPM will then be correctly identified in the Device Manager. Likewise, the chipset driver can be installed in Windows Vista SP2 compatibility mode.
    All other stuff seems to work out of the box in Windows 7.
    And with the BIOS updated to the latest version you can even exchange the Pentium 4 processor for a Pentium D.
    Hope this helps anyone else.
