Dell Inspiron 530 Graphics Card Issues

Hello Guys,
I recently received a EVGA SC GTX 750 Ti from a friend and decided I would install it in my Inspiron 530. Here is what happens when I disable my integrated graphics using device manager (Windows 7 Ultimate) and plug in VGA through card: The screen starts, and the dell splash screen loads (BIOS) but then the screen goes black and then the system beeps once.
I proceeded to believe the card was DOA, I tested it in a friend's Inspiron 570 with the same PSU and it booted into Windows.
This tells me that my PC has adequate power and the card is not DOA.
The only difference is that his PC is PCI 2.0 while mine is the primitive Gen 1.0.
This shouldn't be a difference however, because they are all backwards compatible. So could this be a BIOS issue or what?
Please give your suggestions.
Thanks

I am running an Inspiron 530 with an Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB DDR5 graphics card. No problems at all here The card works great, I am very pleased. I would recommend upgrading the power supply to at least 400w for the card. The Corsair PS that I am using works very well, and is modular.
You say you are running Core 2 Quad, so I am guessing you have the 03 motherboard, and not the 02 that I have. My board only accepts a Core 2 Duo. I am running a Core 2 e8500 3.3Ghz.
How much RAM do you have? I would recommend 8GB of good RAM for the 530. I have 8GB Corsair RAM and it works very good, even for DDR2.
I recommend the following:
1. Unplug the graphics card and all other cards from the motherboard.
2. Update to the latest BIOS for your motherboard. Revert back to factory BIOS settings after you update, and tweak your BIOS from there to make sure everything is configured properly to use a graphics card.
3. Plug the card in and try again. Upgrade to the latest Nvidia drivers.
4. Try the card on a different computer. The card may be your problem.
Post feedback of what you do.

Graphics card issues code 43

First of all, i have a dell inspiron 530. Using a GeForce 8300 gs graphics card and have vista 32 bit operating system.
I have been having problems with my graphics card lately. I just recently was having issues with it. I would be playing a game and everything would run great untill randomly one day, random colored squares appeared on my screen and flashed my monitor off then back on. When it flashed back on it was fine for a bit then it did it again. The next time i turned on my computer, i cheked my driver settings and it said it has stopped working, error code 43. I called geek squad, which is where my warranty is at, and took my computer in. They took the computer for 3 weeks, (which sucked by the way), and replaced the graphics card, and ran diagnostics. When i got it back, which was the other day, i turned on a video game. It ran fine for about five minutes then the screen turned itself off and went into power save mode. I could not turn it back on unless i restarted teh computer. After doing so i checked the driver settings again and the error code 43 was back. Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this. I have seen forums this site for similar problems, but nothing seems to be working. Pls help.
btw sorry for the length of the post

got the same trouble , +- same pc specc as above mention , help pls

Connecting a printer to a Dell inspiron 530s

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 530S and cannot figure out how to connect a printer to it. There are no connections resembling the one on my old dell. thanks for any help

Newer computers do not have the parallell ports anymore, very few do, and thats in the case of Lenovo only on a very special request basis. Add on PCI Cards with Paralell ports do exist, but its a very fat chance your old printer is not supported on Vista, even with the use of such as device.
Save your money on add on cards and purchase a new printer instead.

Macbook Pro Retina 2014 Top Spec - Premiere Pro CC Graphics Card Issue

Hello,
For 12 months I have been having graphics card issues which all started on my 2011 MBP, which Apple replaced 12 months ago. I Then got a new shiny, 2013 highest end retina macbook pro from apple, in which after a couple of weeks had the exact same graphics issue. As soon as I start working in Premiere Pro with my 1080P DSLR footage, once the fans get up high, then the graphic colour hologram like start pooping on my screen. Now I got that retina replaced as I alerted apple about it, now they have given me the highest end 2014 model, and guess what? The problem is twice as bad.
I think it's definitely got something to do with the Apple software. It's weird though, because on the rare occasion, the graphic poop will show up on my screen when I am on Youtube (only once in a blue moon it does that) - it does it every single time 15-20 mins into editing with Premiere Pro, once the fans get hot. I can click on the graphics poop and it makes it disappear, which is weird, maybe that proves it software issue?
I don't know, but this problem has caused me to go through two of apples most powerful laptops, 60 phone calls to Apple, 1 investigation lodged to the Apple Engineers (the people who are above the Senior Apple Care Advisors) - Nothing seems to fix it, and I haven't been able to create any more intriguing films on my laptop because Premiere Pro CC just brings up all the graphics poop.

Does anyone know what causes this exactly? How do I fix it?

Thanks for the follow up information for my video card/graphics card question that came to mind out of curiosity.
I do not have Premiere Pro and am strictly and Elements Windows user. Otherwise I would look into this matter for you first hand. The place you want to be is in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum, although, as you already mentioned, the screen display irregularities have appeared when Premiere Pro was not being used. Have you tried uninstalling Premiere Pro to determine if its removal from the computer resolves the screen display irregularities for whatever you are doing in the computer applications like iMovie? For that matter, do you see the problem in iMovies?
Just some thoughts to think about as you compose your inquiry for the Premiere Pro users in the Premiere Pro Forum.
Best wishes

Warhammer - Graphics Card Issue

So here's my problem. I'm running vista through bootcamp and am having problems installing/running Warhammer Online becauce of what appears to be a graphics card issue?
I screened through systemrequirementslab.com and came back with it saying I had "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"
The game has very specific video card requirements, which in actuality I meet. But when I try to run the game I get a black screen to crash.
Is there a way to fix this issue? Or should just get rid of this thing and buy a PC.

You might want to use Driver Sweeper and remove (deinstall and delete) your old drivers first, before installing new drivers.

Graphics card issue on new 2014 mini?

I have two Viewsonic monitors hooked up to one of the new Mac Mini's. I have the 2.6 ghz version with a fusion drive. I'm using a Thunderbolt to DVI connection for both monitors (using the two thunderbolt/display ports).
I'm having an issue where about 1 out of every 4 times I wake up the Mac from sleeping, one or both monitors have a distorted display. It almost looks like the colors on the screen are inverted. Other times one display will work, but the other is a digital version of a "salt and pepper" screen.
Putting the computer to sleep & back awake will usually fix it, but sometimes it takes a couple of wake/sleep cycles for the display to return to normal.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is this something I can fix, or do I have a graphics card issue? I've only had the computer for a couple of weeks now.

I saw some posts about the screens not waking, I haven't experienced that. So far mine will always turn on, they are just either distorted colors or snow. I wonder if it's a related issue?

Graphics card issue - Satellite A100-313 shuts down by itself

I have a satellite A100-313 and I'm using vista.
Everytime when I play games, the notebook shuts itself off after some time. It varies, normally have 10-20min of playing.
And when I immediately turn it on again, I get a black screen but the computer is running. I'd have to wait a while to turn it on again for the screen to work.
So it starts up again and the resolution is changed to 1024x764 (the native resolution is 1280).
I assume it is a graphics card issue (I have a Geforce 7600 Go). I already updated to the latest vista drivers available from the Toshiba site (the one from september).
What can I do to fix this? The automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
Any help is appreciated.

Hm, sounds tricky.
I can suggest you the following:
Download the latest bios for your machine from the toshiba download site:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
And last but not least, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it up with a can with compressed air to remove the dust from the fan and the heatpipe-fin.
If you have some questions, just ask.
Nice weekend

Lenovo z5070 graphics card issue 'nvidia'

i bought a new laptop .. i have windows 8.1 ... Z5070 - Graphics cards issue (Unable to play heavy graphic games. Nvidia Card) Z5070 with Nvidia Graphic card is having problem when playing high graphic games. The Nvidia graphic card is not detected and it is only using the Intel Graphic card.i install latest updates for everything.what is the problem pllz i want to play games

Hi abdallah650, By default the graphic cards used by computer are switched automatically, depend of application to run. You can check and change this for each application in NVidia Control Panel - 3D settings.
Also you can run each application with right click on it and choose the prefered graphic card. Read this article: switching between Intel and NVidia graphics and here. I hope that will help you.

Macbook Pro Graphics Card Issue.

My Mac wont boot up at all, just boots into a white screen and shuts down while the fans are whizzing like crazy.I've tried resetting the PRAM and SMC to no avail.
Before my mac would shut down whenever I use any graphic demanding application watch a youtube video or streaming a movie in quicktime (Clearly a graphics card issue) . I've reported this to apple a year ago a few times and brought it in twice, Once to an authorised retailer in Limerick and another time to a Apple store in London. In the past few months this problem has become more frequent than before where before it would only do it once/twice a month now its doing it a few times a day and at this point you can probably understand my frustration. In limerick I was told there was nothing they could do about the problem but just bring it to an apple store which I happened to go to a few weeks later while I was in london.
In London I was told they would replace the motherboard, The macbook was with them for a few days for repairs but they could not reproduce the problem but could see what was happening since others have had the same problem with the same model. I'm wondering why wasnt my macbook replaced THEN when the issue was addressed many times over the phone with apple during the first few months of use and when I brang it into the store. Now my apple care has expired and I'm just left with a broken machine and wondering why wouldnt they replace it when I was under warrenty when there was an obvious issue that was addressed multiple times.
I'm completly dissapointed in Apple, and am on the brink of losing brand loyalty, I've bought numerous iPhones,iPods and iPads throughout the years and the amount of issues that have not been fixed with this Macbook is crazy.I have now college in september, I obviously cant afford to pay the 750 to get it replaced, ontop of thousands of euros in college fees which I can barely afford anyway.
I paid €2000 for this machine that I thought would last me through college but it seems not the case since my first year in college starts in september. Is there any possible way to fix this issue with my mac or is it complely fried?

Ok, so I sarted to experience the same problem last week and this is what I did to fix it.
First I want to explain why this Fix works so I don't look like a total jack***trying home remedies:
What heating your GPU does is that in case that your card overheated some connections may had become loose as your logic board expands, basic thermodynamics. The heat will cause the soldering material to melt releasing the GPU pins from contact with the logic board. The heat coming form the heat gun can help to reconnect these pins. If you over heated your GPU and your card fried then your only choice is to replace it, which I don't think is possible without you having to pay for a new motherboard since the GPU is attached to it from factory.
Here is the link to the tutorial.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti8LqIHMnlQ
Mac Released an announcement about a Faulty AMD GPU installed in some MacBook Pros and iMacs (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5167). The Problem is apparently generated due to overheating of the GPU, however, some users had complaint that even after a new Motherboard replacement the problem persisted few minutes after they booted the computer for the first time. Apple offered a free motherboard replacement for specific models and only for limited time; If your mac was out of the timeline or did not fit the specified description then you will "Only" had to pay $350. ***** Doesn't it? I mean we already pay a substantial amount of money for Mac products and yet they want more money, corporate greed?
So the problem starts when you suddenly experience a hang on the system, this may vary for some users, I forced Rebooting and BOOM!! there it was, a pinkish low resolution apple that only leaded me to a gray and sometimes blue screen. So I was like ok no problem my system just want attention and all I have to do is a PRAM rest. Well, nothing, went more deeper and did a BIOS reset and still nothing. Ok, I was ****** because I upgraded to a SSD few weeks ago and based on my experience this also maybe caused if you have bad Hard Drive. So started the computer in Target Disk Mode and booted it as an external drive from another mac, the computer worked just great. My Next step was research the problem and I found thousands of users having the same issue. I spent 24 hrs reading Mac Support Forums and other pages and I figured that if I remove all the ATI Files form System/Library/Extensions will actually force the computer to start in Low Resolution Mode (Google How To Start your mac as a Single User Mode and research how to use command line "rm" commands). Once you do this you will find that your main screen will behave as if it was your external monitor therefore you have absolutely no control of it trying to fix the resolution. After two days of intense research and troubleshooting I was able to have the computer working, low resolution but working, then I realized I can't do nothing at all, I mean I can't miss Family Guy episodes and this aint gonna help :|. So this video shows exactly what you need to do to make it work.
Tools Needed: All can be found at any RadioShack Local Stores
1. PHH00 & T4 Screw Drivers
2. Thermal Compound
3. Circuit Cleaner (Rubbing Alcohol Works)
4. Heat Gun ( Can found at any Hardware store)

Graphic card issue

Hello everybody! I've just read about a graphic card issue of mid-2011 iMac and replacement program.
As I am an owner of one of these computers and I'm living in Israel, and in Israel no one has heard about this issue - my question is if there is a real problem? Thanks in advance

Bring a copy of that page to your authorized service center, and the link to it.
Sadly, Apple did not put it on:

which would be the normal place to address such programs.

Dell Inspiron 14R WLAN Card Disabled

Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron 14R running Windows 7 64 bit. I have had my PC from this past November; about 7 months.
I was using my PC, and suddenly, I started to experience wireless problems. I was unable to get onto the internet. Other devices on my wireless network are able to log on to our network, although that is irrelevant because my radio wasn't picking up anything at all, when it always had from that same location. The connection worked fine using an ethernet cable. After the problem occurred, my Targus Bluetooth mouse also stopped working. This is what I have tried:
Going into Network and Sharing Center, disabling my network adapter, and then enabling it again. This usually does the trick. After doing it over 5 times, it never worked.
Doing a simple system restore. I attempted restoring 3 different times to an update within the last week, each of which failed (probably another issue altogether).
Re-installing my WLAN CARD Driver, and then restarting. This didn't solve the problem.
Checking the Device Manager. It reported that the wireless card was running properly.
Using the DW WLAN CARD Utility. It says under the Link Status tab, after Connection Status, Radio Disabled. I tried right-clicking the icon in my Notification Area, and then clicking Enable Radio. It then shows an alert saying "The WLAN card is still disabled. Use the wireless switch or hotkey to enable it." Pressing Fn + F2, which is also supposed to enable the radio, did nothing, with no action or sign whatsoever from Windows. I also tried running tests under the Diagnostics tab. All hardware tests passed, with the Connection test giving me this alert again: "The WLAN card is still disabled. Use the wireless switch or hotkey to enable it," and then failing. The same thing happened when running the CCX Client diagnostics.
What should I do? The problem is obvious that my card is disabled, as all signs point to that. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix it? I've tried everything I know, not to mention countless Google searches.
Thanks!

I am experiencing the same issue with my Inspiron N4010. The network card has disappeared from the system devices. After a reboot, the network connected for about 15 seconds and then went away. I had the system devices displayed at the same time and the network card also disappeared when the network went down. The card worked fine until today. What is the cheapest route to fix this?
Also note the sound has come and gone over the past year. It is not working at the moment. It would be nice to fix both, but will the cost be greater than buying a new laptop or tablet?
I can't say I will ever buy a Dell product again. These laptops seem to only last a year or two. Even my more expensive work laptop which is less than a year old has had its motherboard and hard drive replaced.

Graphics card issue?

Every time I open up my Photoshop CC on my PC,
it is telling me that "my graphics card doesn't meet requirements"
My system specs are: Intel Core (tm) i7-4500CU @ 1.80GHz 2.40GHz
8G RAM 64-bit op system, x64 processor windows 8.1
I have tried many times updating my graphics card, and no matter how many times I walk through it, it doesnt fix the issue.
And yes I have followed all of the steps they have provided on the page. Thanks for the help! -Kay

The only time you will see that pop-up is for the 3D functions. There you must have a minimum of 512 MB of video ram on your graphics card. Other functions that require OpenGL 2.0 at a minimum may just work fine.
Help > System Info will give you the maker and model of the card as well as how much video ram it has. You can then know if it's in the list of supported cards.
When we ask you to update drivers, we mean that you have to go to the maker's website (Intel, Ati, or Nvdia) for the latest drivers not Windows Update or your PC maker (Dell, in my case).

Graphics Card issues with Premiere Pro CS4

Hey there,
I've placed the screenshot of my problem at the bottom of this post.
I'm having lots of issues with premiere pro CS4 and editing videos since I upgraded to Windows 7. I have some .mpg and .MP4 videos. Both of which play fine in WMP, VLC, WinAmp, VirtualDJ etc. But when I load them into PPRO CS4, as you can see in the screenshot they go green and pink. And they don't move. I.e you see one still image and hear only audio.
Now a fix I have found for this is to uninstall my graphics card. But this is no way an option to edit videos, as the resoultion goes from 1920 x 1080 to 1024 x 768.
I should add that I am runnig the following system:
Dell Vostro 1000 Latpop
Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit
2.00Ghz AMD Sempron Processor
2GB RAM
ATI Radeon XPress 1150 Graphics card
I have the latest graphics card drivers installed. I am just wondering what the problem is, and a potential fix. Would be great to hear any advice,
Regards,
Adam.

OK, here are some other things to think about:
ATI/AMD Catalyst seems to have an issue with one of the latest versions, maybe rollback to an earlier version.
Depending on your OS, check Hardware Acceleration (though this usually affect smoothness of playback) in Control Panel>System>Hardware>Advanced.
Check your OpenGL settings.
In Catalyst, turn OFF any GPU Acceleration
That's about all that I can think of for now, and those are shots in the dark.
Good luck,
Hunt

Dell Inspiron E1705 Graphics Driver Problems

Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 which I am having major graphics driver problems with playing World of Warcraft. I used to play the game quite a while back and got back into it recently but i had to reset my computer one day and when I downloaded the game again the screen flashed black then gray over and over again and there was nothing I could do to exit this other then manually shutting off the laptop. I had this problem a few years back but somehow the game became compatible. Basically, I am thinking about buying a completely new graphics card for this computer but I am wondering which cards are compatible and if this will fix the problem. The Inspiron had vista on it but i acquired Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit after i had heard that this may fix the problem. I am getting a new computer in three or four months so I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars hoping for less than a hundred. I will post the computer specs below:
Windows 7 Ulitmate 32 bit
2 gigs ram
100gigs rom
I believe the graphics driver is - Intel 945GM Graphics Controller
Thanks,
Matt

That laptop is not going to get the job done with the latest version of WoW. The machine isn't good for anything other than basic Internet browsing and word processing by today's standards so just save up as much money as you can and buy a better laptop in a few months.
I'd clarify - that specific model of E1705. E1705s were available with discrete graphics, those will still make the grade for WoW. (I have an E1705 with discrete graphics.)
E1705s with discrete graphics and E1705s with integrated graphics used different motherboards - no way to upgrade from integrated to discrete. There were some limited discrete-to-discrete upgrade options (such as the 7900GTX from that generation's XPS machines), but these were rarely economical.
