Dedicated graphic card not recognized

Hello there, I have bought a Lenovo G500 with a i3 3110m proccesor 4 gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 8570m graphics card. I have a very big problem now, a couple of hours ago I got a blue screen of death and since then, my dedicated graphics card isn't recognized, only the Intel one. I tried doing a system restore of yesterday when I installed some programs, that didn't work, I did another one for about a week ago, I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, I even installed an older one to see if anything works, but nothing yet. Something like this happened before but I don't know how it got fixed, I'm asking for someone's help because I really don't know what to do, the notebook is only a couple of months old and I don't think it should be acting this way. Thank you.

Do you have the latest version of bootcamp? If not, download it and recreate your driver cd then when in bootcamp install the new drivers

  • Graphics Card Not Recognized under Mavericks Update? MacBook Pro 8,2

    Every since I updated my macbook to mavericks, my dedicated graphics card is not recognized under system profiler or any software on the computer. I have the Macbook Pro 8,2 (late 2011) and the upgraded dedicated GeForce graphics card from the factory. My system is just running off of the integrated intel graphics at this point and there is no option to switch back in system preferences. Is my card just dead in there or did mavericks ignore it? I have no other operating systems to check. Should I just make an applestore appointment and get it looked at?

    Found the solution ... finally!
    Go to your system preferences - energy saver and then check if your Graphics setting is set to »higher performance«. Somehow the update to Mavericks change this setting to »better battery life«
    Now both cards are recognized and running ... however, watch out: since I changed that setting, my fans are going crazy! ... so I'm not sure if I should keep it. It would be much easier if one could change the setting all the time without the need to logout and login again ... well, Apple though good isn't the Holy Grail

  • Windows 7 on iMac Core Duo - Graphics card not recognized

    I installed Windows 7 along with Boot Camp drivers for Vista 32 bit.
    But my grpahics card ATI X1600 is not recognized by Windows 7 RC.
    Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

    Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.
    Have you updated the driver from AMD's website?

  • Graphics card not recognized

    Photoshop CC
    Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
    Radeon HD 7600M
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz (4CPUs), ~2.5GHz
    8192MB RAM
    Error message: Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry.
    This seems to be an issue with CC, as the graphics processor is recognized just well by CS6. All settings are exactly the same in CC and CS6.

    Most likely that means that the driver is returning bad information or crashing.

  • Graphics card not recognized by Windows

    My Mac Pro has its original nVidia 7300 and an upgraded nVidia 8800GT. A game compatibility problem suggested it was time to update the graphics drivers. Everything was working OK until I went to update the nVidia/WindowsXP driver. The Windows Device Manager only sees the 7300, and not the 8800GT. Seems odd, since the display was plugged into the 8800GT, and it worked OK except for the game. However, since Device Manager did not recognize the 8800GT, I could not update its driver. I did upgrade the 7300 driver and this fixed the compatibility problem when I moved the display to the 7300 port.
    I'd like to use the better performance of the 8800GT, but Windows doesn't see it and therefore I can't procede with the upgrade. Is it possible to use this card with Windows?

    Which drivers are you trying to use? the 7300 may not be compatible with the latest, and you need to use Driver Sweeper in Safe Mode to properly update graphics drivers (I saw 3DMark06 go from 5000 to 8000 as a result).

  • HELP!!!  Graphics Card Not Recognized in Windows 7

    Hey all,
    I'm running a 32 bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate on my 11.6" MacBook Air (Stats Below) and for a while every once in a while I would have to reboot Windows 7 to get it to recognize the GPU. Now it won't recognize it at all and I can only get up to 1024x768 resolution. It works fine in Snow Leopard and shows up in the Windows Performance Information, but has the 320M's memory listed as Zero Megabytes. Has anyone encountered this; does anyone have a solution? Can I use the drivers Nvidia provides on their website to update?

    This worked like a charm for me, thank you.  I have this problem on a fairly regular basis, and have various theories about how to prevent it... mainly that you have to unplug all your external USB devices and ethernet connection before shutting down your system... which seems to work a lot of the time, but not all the time, plus I forget to do this piece of "magic" reasonably often - and it might actually just be wrong, but it seems to have descreased the frequency of the problem.  Usually just re-installing Bootcamp over the top of itself solves the problem, sometimes not, at which picking a recent System Restore point usually does the trick... but this last time neither of those solutions worked.  Uninstalling the driver and rebooting worked!!  Smart, should have thought of that myself a long time ago.  Thanks again!!

  • GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

    For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
    However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
    I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
    I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
    pci10de,a:
    Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x252
    Revision ID: 0x00a3
    I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
    If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Just for clarification:
    You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
    In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
    I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

  • Can't get dedicated graphics card to work.

    I can not get the dedicated graphics card to work on my laptop. I spend my night installing and uninstalling drivers, wich none of them seem to work.
    To check the card if its working, I dissabled Intel HD Graphics adapter and left the AMD, instead of getting the dedicated card to work I got "Microsoft Basic Display Driver".
    Please help me....
    EDIT: I only reinstalled AMD drivers, I didn't touched the intel ones since they work.
    My laptop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04089426&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...

    HI FXV,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you.
     I understand  you have already uninstalled and then downloaded and reinstalled the recommended driver to no avail.
    Here is a link to a post by @Paul_Tikkanen  that may also help.  beta driver.  This seems to have solved the issued for someone else.
    Have you tried running the HP Support Assistant to aid with updates and resolving issues.
    Have you tried Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 8) to assist with this difficulty.
    You could also try Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) to resolve issues.
    That last thing I can suggest before referring to HP support is a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
    During the recovery process you will get a prompt to backup your personal files to prevent data loss, if you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.
    Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8).
    If none of the above has resolved the issue then I suggest contacting HP support for assistance. They have the ability to remotely access your system to help locate and resolve issues.
    Please call HP technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region HP Technical Support Sitemap.

  • Do I need a dedicated graphics card for my laptop if I mainly use Photoshop CS6 to paint?

    I'm looking to buy a laptop and having a dedicated graphics card is obviously more expensive, but is it necessary for painting on Photoshop CS6 without lagging? I use a lot of layers, adjustments, masks, and large brushes, but that's mostly it, also I don't spam the undo button.

    LOL, those are very compute-intensive operations.  That's basically saying "I need the most powerful computer I can find" to run Photoshop.
    It's hard to generalize an answer to your specific question, because not all GPUs or systems are created equal.  If I had to generalize, I'd say you should try to avoid DUAL GPU systems, in which an Intel and some other brand are combined to try to deliver power saving and high performance capabilities.  Photoshop traditionally doesn't really like that kind of arrangement, and forum members often advise folks with dual GPU systems who are experiencing problems to just disable one of them (usually the lesser one) anyway.
    Keep in mind that a laptop isn't going to be able to achieve as good performance as a desktop for a resource hungry application like Photoshop, yet will be more expensive.  You really will want a high-end machine (possibly even mobile workstation class) to paint in the manner you describe.
    I invite others who use modern laptops to chime in here and relate their actual experiences, as well as provide information on their specific configurations.

  • What would I gain in terms of defying (deferring) obsolescence by purchasing a top end 15" w/the dedicated graphics card as opposed to the top end 13"? thanks!

    I have a circa late 2007 all-black 13" MB with 2.2 GHz Intel core 2 duo, and It still works well
    thinking of the 13-inch, 2.6GHz dual vs the 15-inch: 2.3GHz quad core.. and I was hoping to repeat the 2007's longevity
    What would I gain in terms of defying (deferring) obsolescence by purchasing a top end 15" w/the dedicated graphics card as opposed to the top end 13"?
    thanks! also general pros and cons could help

    Do not spend today's money for features you will only use tomorrow. Buy the computer you need today, and when your needs change, buy the computer you need then.
    A computer has no art value. It is a commodity tool that should help you do the work you want to do right now.

  • How do I make Visual Studio 2013 use my dedicated graphics card instead of integrated graphics on my laptop?

    I am using Alienware 13 as a portable workstation. I do game development on Unreal Engine 4 using Visual Studio 2013. The issue I am having is that when I want to debug codes in Visual Studio 2013, it launches Unreal Engine 4 through the debugger and uses
    the integrated graphics card rather than my dedicated graphics card, which is an nVida Geforce 860M.
    When I wanted to change the settings in the NVidia Control Panel, I see this:
    The drop-down menu is grayed out, so I cannot select to change the graphics card to my dedicated card.
    What should I do? How do I make it so that Visual Studio uses my dedicated card? Thanks in advance.

    Hi tom_mai78101,
    Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
    It seems that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    As you said that you want to change the setting so that Visual Studio uses your dedicated card in NVidia Control Panel, since this NVidia Control Panel is third-party tool, we are not support it. So please post this issue this issue directly
    to this NVidia Control Panel Official website:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia-communities.html , you will get better support.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Adding a dedicated graphic card to a Macbook Pro late 2013

    Hi everybody,
    I have bought a late 2013 macbook pro retina 15'', but without the dedicated graphic card, I have the Iris Pro.
    Would be possible to add the nVidia GT 750M?
    If yes, what would be the ~ cost?
    Thanks in advance

    It's not possible. If you want that model your best bet would be to sell your MBP and use the proceeds to buy what you want.

  • Adding dedicated graphic card to my laptop

    I have I5 core E5-571P-59QA laptop, and I have intel HD 4000 family integrated graphic cards. Is it possible to add dedicated graphic card to my laptop? Intel HD 4000 is decent enough but I want to play more graphically intense games .

    to my knowledge the answer would be "no" to an upgrade to graphics as the laptop is not designed for that, it uses integrated Intel HD-4400 graphics which are decent for basic gaming.

  • Dedicated graphic card g780

    I have no idea why my laptop doesnt use my dedicated graphic card. How can i check if its not broken or missing? Ive tried a lot of software solutions, even my brother who is programmer tried, yet hes in united states so he cant check hardware.

    Hi Raderk,                           
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with the graphic card on your G570 laptop.
    As you have suspected it might be broken, please visit the nearest service centre and verify the issue, please if there is a discrete graphic card which was shipped with the system. As the system needs to disassemble and check for the issue.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
     Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.

  • Is a dedicated graphics card better than an integrated graphics card for running Logic Pro?

    I am trying to figure out if a dedicated graphics card is better than an integrated graphics card for using Logic Pro. I have heard opinions supporting both. From what I have been told a Mac mini with an integrated graphics card would work just fine. I have also heard that a modest dedicated graphics card could also benefit Logic Pro. Honestly, I have heard more people saying that the integrated graphics card on the Mac mini would do the job. But still, I have heard a couple people (even 2 senior Mac experts) state that a dedicated graphics card (iMac) is the way to go. Maybe a Mac mini with integrated graphics card will do the job, but an iMac would do the job better, I don't know, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    One thing is Logic Pro and another thing is Final Cut Pro. Logic Pro is a music production app, so it doesn't use the GPU heavily and you can use it with an integrated GPU without any problem. However, video editing apps like Final Cut Pro or iMovie will note the difference
