Display adapter causing bsod

hellloo
I am currently trying to fix my bsod issue with my evny dv6 64bit running windows 8 (16gb RAM, intel i7 8 cores), which has been happening since the first month I got it, for many different reasons.
Updating drivers and such has fixed a lot, but then a new error appears. At first I thought it was a RAM issue but that has so far come up clear (ran memtest for 24 hours, 8 passes no errors in fail safe mode, it crashed once when not in fail safe mode but I haven't been able to recreate it). recently I noticed that both intel HD 4000 graphics and NVIDIA are enabled, which it's apparently supposed to do. However, certain applications will run better, and without crashing, if I disable one.
For instance, the sims 3 will crash on the save game loading screen, but if I disable intel graphics, not only does the quality go waaay up, it won't crash on the loading screen. it is laggy, however.
minecraft won't play if only NVIDIA adapter is enabled. the picture won't show and it just won't respond. works if both are enabled. haven't managed to get it to crash if just intel graphics is enabled
Games are the only thing that makes the computer bluescreen. They're the only resource heavy programs I run (sometimes I use photoshop but as far as I can remember that has never resulted in bsod)
to my understanding, it's supposed to use NVIDIA for games and the such, but intel HD for everything else? is there the possibility of some kind of miscommunication going on with these adaptors to cause constant blue screens? or is the error more likely somewhere else?

Display drivers causing BSODs

Hello everyone,
I'm having problem with a brand new Windows 7, W530 machine.
I had problems related to BSODs that have been 'fixed' by changing out the motherboard, RAMs and a power cable.
Now I have a problem that whenever I start Photoshop CS6, or randomly, I get this BSOD. I am attaching a Drive folder with a minidump and a screen shot.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_ueEWCEVdGDMnlicl9CcWZzeE0&usp=sharing
I am also unable to connect to my external display, as it seems that it doesn't know what to do, it switches screens in and out for a while, changes colors, then gives an error.
Please, let me know if there is anyhting I should try, or if this is a hardware problem.
Thanks!

When you switch to discrete, you should re-run the install from the package at http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029106
Make sure your W530 is also running the latest BIOS.
See http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029170 for that.

WUSB54G - Wireless Adapter Causing BSOD

Here is one for the support team. I wanted to connect another PC iwas working on to the internet via my WUSB54G wireless adapter. This was a fresh install, but an old computer. At the point in the installation where the adapter is connected to the USB port, Windows keeps shutting down and giving me a blue screen. Any advice?

Did you try to install the adapter drivers and not the software ? If not you should try that...
Make sure you connect the adapter to a different USB Port(don't use the port to which it's already connected)...
Download the adapter drivers from here: http://home.cisco.com/en-us/wireless?referrer=www.linksysbycisco.com
Once you have downloaded the drivers you need to unzip the file...After you unzip the file you should un-install the adapter drivers/software from Programs menu...Connect the adapter to a different USB Port and reboot your computer...Once the computer is rebooted you should see a message "Found new Hardware"...Select the option Install it from a specific location and click Next, then select Include this location in Search and browse to the place where you have unzipped all the files and select the Driver folder and click O.k...Then click Next and it should install the adapter drivers...
NOTE : This installation doesn't install the software(Linksys Monitor)...
Once the Adapter is installed, Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections- Right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "View Available Wireless Networks"- If you see your wireless network in the list, highlight it by 'single' clicking on it- Now click on the 'Connect' button below- If your wireless network is secured, it would ask you to provide the network key- Provide the wireless network key and confirm it again in the confirmation box and click "Connect". See if this corrects your problem...

Sounds like you may have been in extended display mode. If so, all you had to do was drag a window to the projector display. Or, if you wanted mirrored mode, in display preferences select check mirror display.

Wireless adapter causing blue screen

Hello,About a month ago on my Lenovo Ideapad Z580, I was using the internet when it said I was no longer connected. When I tried troubleshooting, it reset the wireless connection adapter and gave me a blue screen. When it restarted and I tried troubleshootingt it again, it enabled the adapter and worked fine. Since that first time, this BSOD has happened every day, sometimes multiple times a day, but not everytime I am on the internet. I have tried doing a system restore at a few different points, but the restore always ends in an error. I checked at the driver for the wireless adapter is up to date. Please advise on what I can do to fix this problem. Thank you,Stephanie

The symptoms you describe could be symptomatic of a variety of things to include hardware/software issues, overheating caused by a failed processor fan, bad memory (RAM), failing or underpowered power supply, CPU overheating, motherboard, video card, faulty or unsigned device drivers, CMOS battery going bad, BIOS and firmware problems, dirty hardware components, programs hanging or unresponsive in the background, and even malware. If the computer is overheating, it usually begins to shutdown/restart on a more regular basis.
If the machine is only crashing at home after establishing a connection but not at work when establishing a connection, then its probably an issue with your network configuration or something (i.e. wireless adapter) causing a conflict and not a malware issue.
The DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is usually due to a bad driver or faulty/incompatible hardware or software. This error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high.

Reader 9 causes BSOD on Windows XP Pro

We have a few systems here that are having real problems with Adobe Reader 9. When the users attempt to open a .pdf file, they get a BSOD, and the system reboots. Once the system comes back up, they are able to open the offending file with no problems.
Here are details of our systems:
Dell Optiplex 755
Windows XP Pro SP3
2GB Ram
32 Bit OS
I have found this occurs most often when opening pdf's that were created with earlier versions.
I'm sure I have left out some vital piece of information, so if you need clarification on something, please ask. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[While the original post was for Reader 9, I found this same problem with Acrobat 9 Pro, and found a solution.]
Problem: Opening one PDF file is fine, but once you open the second file -- BSOD.
Cause: There is still a problem with Adobe's 2D GPU Acceleration feature.
Per http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405218&sliceId=1, "If acceleration hardware is detected, then optimization is enabled for all files except the first one opened when Acrobat launches." That is why the first file opens OK, but the second causes BSOD. Adobe is either not detecting acceleration hardware correctly, or is not calling it correctly.
Temporary Solution:
1. In Acrobat or Adobe Reader, choose to Edit > Preferences.
2. Go to the Page Display panel.
3. Uncheck Use 2D GPU acceleration.
I tested my machine [Dell Optiplex 755, ATI Radion HD 2400 XT 8.420.0.0, Win XP Pro, Adobe 9 Pro] with "2D GPU acceleration" checked, attempted open of 4 PDFs from File Explorer -->first one opened, then BSOD, rebooted, unchecked "2D GPU", attempted the exact same operation --> all four opened in their windows and now I am happily typing on this page.
This is per http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=324073, which is a post from two years ago and relates to Adobe 8. So, Dell has been fielding calls on this for at least two years. Way to stick in there, Dell. Two years ago, Adobe knew the problem ("You are using an desktop ATI video card with driver version 8.291 or 8.301 and have the Acrobat Page Display Preference 'Use 2D GPU acceleration' enabled." was what they said back then, and recommended updating the video drivers. So, Dell stays with it, Adobe says to update your drivers. Well, I bought an entirely new Dell to get the latest drivers and it didn't help.
Permanent solution:
Adobe needs to get 2D GPU acceleration to really work (how about a line of code where you check whether it is going to work before you execute it?) or ship their product with that feature off by default.

Display adapter randomly resetting

I'm having two issues which may or may not be related. My display adapter keeps resetting itself. Sometimes it works and I can continue working.other times I get a screen full of vertical lines and have to reboot. The computer will also not bout or run on battery power. If it's on and I unplug the a.c. adapter it well shut off. Any ideas on how to solve my envy dv7 issues? It's windows 8 that I'm currently running after doing a complete restore yesterday in the hope that if would solve the problem. If didn't.
This question was solved.

ACCER,
Thanks for getting back to me. In all honesty, it seems like the hardware is starting to go.
However, my last suggestion is to reinstall the operating system. This is because their may be a software or virus causing the issues you are describing. It's a long shot, but since you will need to back everything up anyway, you might as well do this.
First, please ensure you backup your files. Here is information on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)
Once this is done, it is safe to reinstall the operating system. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
If the same situation occurs, the computer likely has faulty hardware. At that point, please contact HP phone support, or take it to a local repair shop to get it evaluated.
If you appreciate the information I provided, please mark my posts with Kudos and "Accept as Solution"! It would be helpful to me, and help anyone else come across this information in the future.
I will look forward to your reply!

Cover Flow - Display adapter drivers

Hi there, I know a lot of people have posted about this problem but I am wondering if anyone can help me out.
I am unable to use cover flow on my pc. I have made sure I have the latest itunes and quicktime. As far as drivers go this is my sticking point. I don't know if there are newer drivers for the display adapters. I have been to the manufacturers website (S3 Graphics) but it seems that it has been discontinued with no further support (I am not sure I am looking up the right drivers anyhow). The display adapter I have is S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR. The driver date is from 2003 (version 6.0.0.0).
Can any techie person help me out here. I would love to get cover flow working on this pc.
Thanks in advance

W530 Win8.1 hyper-v disables display adapter

When I enable hyper-v on my w530 and reboot my display adapter (nvidia k1000) becomes disabled and any externally attached monitors act as if they were not plugged into the computer. Once I remove hyper-v and reboot, the monitors begin working again and the display adaptor is enabled again. Bios settings for Virtualization are enabled. Any Ideas?

Mini DisplayPort to DVI + DVI to VGA Display Adapter, will it work?

Hi,
I have a MBP, and I have just purchased an apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
I want to connect it to a VGA port.
Can I buy an Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter and connect it to the connector above.
Will that work? Any one with experience who could advise me on that?
Thanks.

This does not work, because the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter has a DVI-D port that transmits only digital signals. VGA uses analog signals.

VGA Display Adapter doesn't fit

I have a Intel Core 2 Duo imac and recently order/received the apple VGA Display Adapter-Gen ACCS to hook up another monitor. The problem is, it doesn't fit in my imac. The Apple store specifically says it is designed for Intel Core 2 Duo. What is the problem? Do I need another device to hook my 2nd monitor up?

you need this adapter: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A
make sure you are plugging in the correct way.
I beleive you have the first gen Aluminum, correct? - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP16

HP Slate 500 and HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA)

The specifications page for the HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA) (Link) doesn't list the HP Slate 500 as a compatible device in the campatible products list (Link).
Do these two products work together?
What VGA resolutions can I project using this cominbation of products? Am I limited to 1024x600? or 1024x768? or does it support displaying higher resolutions?
I'm thinking about making a purchase but I don't want to get the adapater if it isn't going to work.
Thanks,

Yes an HDMI to VGA adapter will work fine. Keep in mind it will not carry audio but neither did your old vga connection so I am assuming it is not a problem.
You would find an HDMI to VGA at any Best Buy or you can order on one amazon.com such as here:

Win 8.1, Clean Install, No AMD Display Adapter Found

I have a C55D-B5203 AMD basec Laptop. After a restore from backup failure, I had to do a clean 8.1 install. The recovery partition was damaged. Only the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is found, not the AMD adapter. I have tried to install the Catalyst based driver, but that also doesn't detect the A600 adapter. What should I try next?

Satellite C55D-B5203
Downloads here.
Essentially all the drivers and utilities at that site need to be installed for the laptop to operate as designed - and the order matters. You can stuggle with that if you have the time. I don't and would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
If you failed to create recovery media, obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
See the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 49 of the User's Guide.

VGA Display Adapter to HDTV

I purchased a VGA display adapter from Apple. I want to connect my iBook to a HDTV with HDMI interface. What cable do I need to connect the end of the adapter which appears to be a serial connector to the HDTV? Thanks for any assistance.

I would use the Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter and then get a DVIU to HDMI cable from a local retailer. They are also available online from a ton of places - and probably at a lot lower price.
There really is no need to involve VGA when you would need another adapter to go from VGA to DVI, then the cable to go from DVI to HDMI. I would take that adapter to your local Apple Store and see if they would do an exchange for you.

Ancient ADC to mini display adapter

I would like to connect my (old) 17" flat panel studio display to my Powerbook Pro. Maybe all I need an adapter? The display male connector uses a single cable for all functions (power, USB etc) it is rectangular with rounded ends (.35" x 1.22). Part of the rectangle has 30 pins arranged in 3 rows of 10, the remaining part of the rectangle has a blade contact surrounded by 4 round pins. The round pins are all the same size. The total round pins is 34.
I see an adapter that is close, but its connector is a little shorter and has 3 rows of 8 pins (24) and no holes for the 4 pins that surround the blade contact. The Apple store people said this was an early version of the Apple ADC and adapters for it had been discontinued.
Any suggestions for hooking this up would be much appreciated. I consider myself a skilled constructor of kluge ups and posses excellent soldering skills, if it comes to that.

If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
<http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
you will need a DVI to ADC adapter
