Display Problems After Installing Graphics Card Drivers

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem that's got me stumped?
I've just upgraded my pc (CPU, Motherboard, Memory, Hard Drive, Sound Card, Monitor) - the only things that haven't changed are my graphics card and PSU.
I've built the system, installed windows and the motherboard drivers, which all work correctly. But after I install the graphics card drivers and reboot, the display becomes all scrambled when it loads into windows. The display is fine with the initial boot and up until the Windows XP screen, with the moving bar comes up.
The graphics card was fine in my previous system and I have tried my old monitor, but neither works. I've updated the BIOS, using the MSI Live Update program and have also tried various versions of the nVidia drivers (including the latest).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
****UPDATE****
I've now managed to install the nVidia drivers and now windows loads normally, but after a short amount of time the screen scrambles again.

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.

Display problems after installing 10.5.2 and the leopard graphics update

Shortly after installing the leopard graphics update, my display started exhibiting problems.
The next day, the powerbook wouldn't even boot, just leaving me at a blue screen.
I tried verifying permissions and verifying disk, reinstalling leopard and eventually did a fresh install of Tiger, which boots, but crashes frequently and has graphics corruption as visible in this screenshot:
http://pics.livejournal.com/dorukai/pic/000fw0hw
The same corruption is visible on a second monitor if I connect one.
The timing (being right after installing the graphics update) suggests that the update somehow caused this problem (flashing the video card firmware maybe?) but any ideas at all are very welcome at this point!
Unfortunately after installing Tiger I kept getting updates, and one has broken the ability to boot normally, I can only boot in safe mode

Software problem? Installed graphics card does not meet minimum requirements

Ok - I seem to have just met the same problem that others have experienced. MB Pro, less than 3 years old, graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB. I have been using Aperture up until about 1/2 hour ago with no problem. Just now trying to sync my iPad, and Aperture (which launches automatically) responds with "installed graphics card does not meet minimum requirements". All software is fully up to date, running latest versions of all Apple software. What is going on please? I have restarted several times, tried Command/Option/P/R on restarting, but nothing seems to make it work.

You might try to reboot again, this time with the Shift-key hold down to boot into safe mode. This will clear some caches and reset the graphics card. Aperture will not run in safe mode. You will have to reboot a second time.
Do you use an external Monitor? Then disconnect it, before rebooting.
Regards
Léonie
P.S: Do you use a blue tooth keyboard? If you turn it on while booting, you may accidentally boot into Safe mode without noticing it, and then Aperture will give exactly the above error message.

Installing graphic card drivers kill windows

Dear all,
It all started when the computer suddenly turned off. On turning it on again, it wouldn't enter Windows. It stayed forever (>24h) in the screen "loading windows". Entering in the recovery mode, none of the offered options would help (no restore points working, no recovery function working, no automatic repair.... nothing).
I decided to recover my important files and go for a total cleaning. So I used the Knoppix Live CD to enter with Knoppix into the computer and save all my files in an external disk. Then I used the Windows 7 Live CD to reinstall windows 7 from scratch, saving nothing from the previous installed OS, and formating the hard drive, and even joining all partitions in one.
Windows 7 Home Premium was installed successfully with the original Product Key. Then, I downloaded all drivers for the dv6-6193es from the support.hp.com website (a total of 48 drivers) and installed them all sequentially.
From the 48 drivers, 40 are installed successfully, 6 don't manage to install (see list below, although I suspect it's not really important) and 2 of them return me back to the original problem: sp53025 and sp55092. These two drivers are related to the AMD RADEON graphics card.
After installing sp53025 driver, and restarting the computer as required for the installation to be completed, the windows would not load and would get stuck in the "loading" page forever. I manually turned off the computer and with the Windows 7 Live CD restarted the whole process (format, reinstall Win 7, re-install all drivers from the beginning, skipping sp53025...). Until I reached sp55092, and again the exact same problem. This time, I had created a restoration point which luckily could be restored from the Win7 Live CD so I could go back to the moment before installing sp55092.
What is the problem? Is the graphics card dead?
Just for reference, the other 7 drivers that could not be installed are the following:
sp52473 - "The computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
sp53402 - "This softpaq will not be installed because HP Recovery Manager cannot be found in your system."
sp54471 - "The computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
sp55063 - "El hardware Bluetooth debe estar activado para ejecutar este paquete de instalación"
sp55093 - "Fresco Logic USB3 Host Controller is not found!"
sp68351 - "Softpaq does not apply to the system, no HP Recovery Manager installed."
PS: in addition, this message window pops up every time I turn the computer on:
Any feedback and/or help on my problem will be highly appreciated!

This could be good advice. But does that mean I should ignore the updates that windows and ATI's built-in driver update finds? If so do you have a link to the URL of the legitimate drivers? That would be greatly appreciated. That way I can test your theory and possibly salvage the machine.
Yes, don't use Windows Update for the Switchable graphics update. Only use HP driver site for switchable graphics drivers. And disable ATI/AMD update to prevent those updates. Put this way if you don't see that switchable graphics update on HP then don't update it-they tested and configured it for the stablility and updating it without confirming that the update is a verified it is for switchable graphics.

[Solved] Problems after upgrading graphics card

I just upgraded my 8800GTX to a GTX650. I ran "nvidia-xconfig" initially then "nvidia-settings" to make sure both of my monitors looked good. After rebooting I have Openbox running on only my "main" screen. I can move my mouse to the second screen, but when I do the cursor changes to the default X one and I can't do anything there. I also can't drag windows to my secondary screen.
I figure it is something to do with twinview not working properly, or some other xorg.conf configuration problem. Here is a link to my xorg.conf: http://pastie.org/private/zo9fikanxumf4haqaya2eg
Any help would be great.
EDIT: Solved. In nvidia-settings I needed to set both displays to the same X screen

In your motherboard manual it describes how to re-set the CMOS. Taking out the battery would work but it's easier to re-set the CMOS via the jumper pins. It also holds info on bios features and settings in the manual so you might want to scan through that and see if there's anything you might change.
Have you tried the graphics card in another computer? Do you get the same problems?
Ok - I now found out which jumpers to change - thank you.
I have tried putting my old graphics card back in but still had the problem.
On Sunday someone is going to switch ram chips (his are good in his machine) with me and hopefully we'll establish whether or not my physical ram modules are ok.
Seem very strange to me that both of my modules (one was ok a month ago and the other just arrived from Crucial) fail the same test - memtest #7 - random memory but then I'm only an egg when it comes to this stuff.
Many thanks for everyone's help !
Mike
Well I don't know if it's good news or bad news !?
Have just tested my system with a known to be good ram module and ?
My machine failed Memtest #7 - the machine that the 'borrowed' ram came from passes the test.
So I will reset the bios I guess.

HP Pavilion DV3 41700-EE Problem-Black Screen after installing graphic card driver

Hi,
Laptop Model : HP Pavilion DV3 41700-EE Entertainment series.
I download the latest official driver for my lap top from this link : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-93326-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
After the installation i rebooted my device and after the windows loading i got a black screen ! i went to safe mode and unistall the video card and also it's driver from device manager and when i came back the black screen was gone but i have only my onboard Integ graphic which is very slow.
also i went to AMD web site and get AMD Catalyst from their web site but nothing happened after the installation and i think they don't provide an appropriate driver for my lap top.
i also tries to go to device manager and with right click on my display adapter and update driver point to the display driver location on my syste but this time it does not take time the black screen after restart, and in the middle of installation i got a black screen.
Also i upgraded my BIOS Firmware from 16 to 24, but nothing changed.
i just wanna know is it a software problem or hardware problem ? how can i find out that ?
also i don't want this switchy manner and i don't care about the power efficency. i just want to my device work on maximum performance.
What you suggest i do ?

Use the recovery manager to reinstall the original AMD graphics driver and Catalyst Control center.

[solved]display problems after installing nvidia driver

hi
i have nvidia geforce 8400 gs card, after i uninstalled all other drivers, installed nvidia,nvidia-utils, then nvidia-config,then installed vpdau-video,then restart
i noticed that hardware and deamon checks screen after boot became huge letters as if no driver installed yet, and when i run lxterminal i noticed black window on the top left of the screen exactly the same size as the terminal window, and when i browse using chromium and the page contains flash video, the video window image stays on the screen.

I think current nvidia driver is broken - I have these black windows at some rare situations also (under KDE without effects; no under OpenBox). IIRC, nvidia developers mentioned somewhere in Arch bugs system they are aware of the problem.

No sound after installing graphics card to replace original integrated graphics

I replaced my old monitor with a new Dell which has a displayport along with Soundbar that is connected to the PC by USB. Installed the hp AMD Radeon8490. The Catalyst Install Manager Installation Report shows theDisplay and Audio Drivers installed successfuly. Here is grab of the Sound device manager screens:
The Realtek speakers are only used when I stream video from the PC to a nearby Flat Panel TV using the a DVI cable.
I know that Windows 7 disables the original intgrated graphics on the motherboard. What needs to be done? Do I need to add a sound card? There are two slots available that are both PCI Express x1.
Thanks

Hi:
See if the video card disabled the onboard audio.
There should be an onboard audio setting in the BIOS and it may have 3 options...Disabled, Auto and Enabled.
If the setting is on Disabled or Auto, change it to Enabled, save the setting there and again when you exit.
Reboot and see if you can use the onboard audio again.

Preview app and retina display problem after installing Maverick

Hi everyone, i upgraded to Maverick yesterday and i now have a problem with the software "Preview 7.0". I've got a macbook pro 13" retina.
Before Maverick i could visualise image in high resolution using Preview, and the 100% view was showing the image full quality. Now my Preview software acts like i'm not on retina and i can only visualise my images with the resolution of a standard monitor.
Does it make sense ? Please help !!!

I'm having the same issue with Preview not displaying images at the correct resolution. If you also look at the info in Preview, there are metadata issues showing up. Under "Creator's Contact Info" this is the info displayed.

Something is broken with the program.

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Display problem after RAM Upgrade to MS6712

Hi there,
after a RAM upgrade (512mb to 3GB) my PC has developed a display problem. The graphics are slow / rippled and video playback is very poor. In device manager no "display adapters" are present and there is also an error mesage referring to the VIA CPU to AGP2/AGP3.0 controller not having enough free resources to run due to a conflisct with VGAsave? I've downloaded the latest VIA chipset drivers to no effect?
System info: MS6712 MB, AMD Athlon 1.25GHZ, XP SP3.0

OK, here's the info on my PSU;
It's a Powerman FSP250-60GTU(PF). Input: 230V - 5A, 50Hz. Max Output: 250W
While I had the case open I took out 2 of the RAM modules and without making any other changes everything appeared to work fine with just the 1GB, so I tried putting 1 more back in to take it to 2GB and again all seems fine? Does this indeed point to my PSU then? If so and it works fine with 2GB should I be thankfull for a 512mb to 2GB upgrade and send the 3rd module back to Crucial??
Before I posted this thread I did run a memtest from Memtest86+ with all three modules installed and it came up with NO problems?
Re Henry's post, I searched using the format of the part no on the RAM modules themselves i.e. M368L2923FLN-CB3 and it took me here:
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/productListNonflexTable.do?fmly_id=118&sht_id=1
Other info on printed the modules themselves: 1GB DDR PC2700 CL2.5
According to Everest my CPU temp (with 2GB installed) is: 43 degrees (MOBO 30 degrees and HD 42 degrees) - do these seem normal?

Updating Graphics Card Drivers

Hello there, I have a HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit that I built using HP.com. However when I try to play certain games (such as GTA: San Andreas and Toribash) there seems to be a problem with the graphics card, and have been told by others to update my drivers. I have an Intel HD Graphics card but I can't seem to find a way to actually update the drivers. I have tried Hp.com, Intel.com, and even ATI Technologies Inc. (The manufacturer) but none of them seem to be able to update the drivers. Does anyone know of a way to update the drivers for an Intel HD Graphics card?
PS. This is what the game "Toribash" looks like when I start it up, definitely something wrong : There's Something Wrong Here
Bare with me...

Display problems after update

I recently updated- on balance things went ok-
How ever for some odd reason something is causing KDE (3.5) to behave oddly-
I used to have a app in the kde control panel that'd let me fine tune settings (fonts and display size for instance)- I see the app but not how to fine tune the settings other than for gamma and color-
I can use the nvidia-tools to do some of that- however something is causing my directories to display incorrectly meening that when double click on say- /home/(username here)/ I have a big fat square block where files used to be- and any window moving over that gets fairly well corupted.
I can sort of work around this by changing from"icon view"- to info list view.
I'm not sure how to fix this
Anyway any kind of direction at all about what's causing this problem is great.

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.
