G50-45 AMD A8

Good morning. I am curious if it is possible to make this laptop run faster. When I got this laptop I only had so much money to work with so I had to get something slower. I use this a lot for gaming and school. So was curious what can, if anything, could be done to get it to run faster without damaging it. I know that there a many folks out there that is smart about computers. Maybe let me know what other processors that these may take. Thank you for reading. I also occassionaly have an issue where my display driver will stop working. What can I do to fix it? I use an external USB mouse. I never use the touchpad. I would like to permanently disable the touchpad. How can I do this? Right now I have to go to Control Panel>Mouse>ELAN and sometimes it will disable then or I may have to click disable. It does this everytime I log on or reboot the computer. Thank you.

I have been using my G50 for a few weeks now. Had to replace an older Lenovo which was a great performer for 4 years!!! Then is had a fatal and unrecoverable HD failure. Anyway, let's be honest....this machine sucks. Everyone on here (that I've read) complains about the pathetic speed (lack thereof) of this POS. I am so disappointed. The other Lenovo was also a value buy and it was great. Don't knw what to do, but like everyone else on these boards, my POS struggles to do the simplist task. Really unbelievable. This will be my last Lenovo unless these mother humpers offer a solution.

G50-80 AMD R5-M330 driver not function

Guys,
I has G50-80 I5 5200U with AMD R5-M330 running Win 7Pro 64Bit
Driver installation done with no issue at Windows device manager however when I using Passmark Perfomance test 8.0 I can only select intel graphic card for 3D benchmark. I am using driver from Lenovo website. Please advise.

Dear newbiz
Welcome in Lenovo community
As long the graphic card is installed properly in device manager so the card is automatically detected, but first make sure that the Graphic mode in BIOS is in discreet mode . then check the application knowing that we dont take the gurranty on such application
Thanks

Graphics display problems (dialog boxes) Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1

Graphics display problems Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 Greetings to all. After having spent a number of days trying to find a solution to a display problem, I turn to this forum for help. I own a Lenovo G50 AMD A6 Win 8.1 ever since November 2014, and have had display problems ever since the first day, be it while using internet (Firefox or Explorer) or various software (Text editors, etc.). Many dialog boxes, including colour settings and controls (open, close etc.) either have an inappropriate appearance or even do not appear at all! I manage to "click" on the right places using memory: most areas are INVISIBLE! Another example would be that I do not see any backround colour or image on most webpages such as this one).  Some suggestions included checking for graphics updates (but the drivers used were already up-to-date).  I 'd be most obliged for any new suggestions. Thank you very much. George

Greetings to all, I finally decided to express my utmost discontent with- the Lenovo G50-45 I bought before Christmas 2014,- the summary response with inappropriate links that I received after exposing my problem- the fact that I tried to dowload the following graphics driver  (Beema) AMD Driver (VGA, HDAudio, SATA) for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I find it quite disrespectful to NOT provide customers with EASY support, as well as avoiding to answer their requests for further help when some simplistic "assistance" that one can find almost anywhere on the web leads to no further solution. I shall not repeat the problems I have faced till now: vide supra. The problem, however, is NOT just with browsers.I simply cannot see any dialog box content and colour in MANY software programs, such as OPEN OFFICE; for instance: PRESENTATION colour dialog boxes show BLANK squares instead of squares filled with different colours. This has occured AVER SINCE DAY ONE! Finally, a new bug has appeared: Windows 8.1 keeps popping up some email program to which I am invited to register - I never created a Windows email account, and certainly don't intend to do so.NOR shall I accept some "Lenovo Service Bridge", however "discreet and inoffensive" it might be. I don't know if there are any legal grounds for customers to complain for all these problems. I DO know, however, that I shall NEVER buy a LENOVO device ever again. The pricing and processor might be competitive => yet, the support that ensues is, as far as I'm concerned, LAMENTABLE. To make a presentation, I have to switch to a Samsung R20 using XP..... What is the meaning of all this? George

Go to Solution.

hi Ashish1793,
If you're running on Windows 7 64bit, can you consider the following:
1. Navugate to the Control Panel (icon views) > Display Adapters and uninstall both the Intel and AMD Display driver then reboot.
2. Install the Intel Display Driver first then reboot.
3. Install the AMD Dislpay Driver (the files will be extracted drivers to the C:\Drivers\VGA folder - overwrite if prompted and reboot if necessary)
When finished, you should now have both the Intel HD Graphics 4600 and AMD R5 M230 in the Device Manager > Display Adapters
If you get a Code 43 error on the AMD Display Device Manager, try to install the AMD R5 M230 driver directly from AMD website and observe.
If you have Windows 8.1, download the Intel and AMD Display driver from the G50-70 drivers page and install them respectively.

G50-45 Can't Install AMD Graphic Drivers

Hello,
I just bought this laptop and I downloaded the updated drivers from Lenovo site, but I can't install AMD graphic drivers.
The screen went black during installation and stayed black for almost 40 minutes (then I rebooted the laptop).
So I tried to download AMD drivers through their Autodetect software, and during the installation the screen showed weird colors, mostly green but in a "old fashioned 8 bit way" we can say.
What should I do?
Also, I can't use the dedicated graphic card (Radeon HD 8500M): the laptop keep using the integrated card, which makes every game running slowly. I already tried to set which card an application must use through Catalyst Control Panel, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for the replies.

I used one from lenovo page and they work.

AMD Graphics Card Issue

This past year I switched to CC. I then discovered the 2014 version of Adobe Premiere Pro required me to upgrade my video card. I have Intel i7 920 running at 2.67 with 4 core with 16 GB installed and 32 GB total virtual memory on a board. My computer guy installed AMD R9 290X. It never worked right. In the initial testing it looked fine. The software that came with the card showed solid performance, when I took it home and started to use intensive video applications such as Warp Stabilizer after a few minutes the whole computer would slow down and the computer would literally stop. We went through replacing three video cards. All did not work. We switched out to a R9 285. (He sold AMD) It worked, but I didn’t try doing the warp. I finally did try using the Warp Stabilizer on a video last Sunday and the computer shut down. Now the computer is acting as if it doesn’t have any accelerated video card at all. Windows says the card is operating fine.
Before I switch brands I want to make sure I have done everything. I am not excited on dropping unexpected dollars here. The video card is listed by Adobe as approved.
Is there a diagnostic program that will show that Adobe programs are working properly with the video cards?   I am not going back to my same computer because this is over his head. If you have any suggestions, I am all ears, but this is out of my technical league. I just want to do video.
Here is my event log bug check: and below that are the settings for the video card

Update 12/11/14 - Finally was able to have Adobe syc with computer. Answer is graphics card works. Heavy graphics use such as Warp Stabilizer may cause shut down. "Oh", Maybe a cigarette warning would be helpful on the app. Maybe an app to signal that's what occurred or suggested techniques of maybe breaking up large clips into smaller ones. Anything would have save me hours of investigating. I mean do we all have to be techies to use this product?

Lenovo G50-70 Graphics

Hi,
I have recently bought a G50-70 (i7) which comes with the intel HD 4400 and the R5 M230. I've found that there is no way to disable the discrete/integrated graphics at a time. So does this mean that both are powered on at the same time? Also, is it okay if I update my drivers to the latest AMD and intel drivers available? Or is it recommended I use only the lenovo ones?
Thanks,
Best regards,
David

It is recommended using the lenovo drivers, Both the GPU's are not powered up at all the time, your Integrated GPU is the one which is powered all the time, the Descrete just handles the GPU intensive tasks, like gaming. Once that application is fired up as per configuration, the discrete will automatically start processing the game instead of the integrated

AMD R5 M230 ON WINDOWS 7 X64 DOESNT WORK

So I just installed Windows 7 ultimate x64 on my lenovo g40 with the amd radeon r5 m230. I installed the drivers of the graphic card but the system does not recognize it. I looked on the device manager and it shows this:
-AMD Radeon R5 M230 with a yellow triangle.
-Standard VGA Graphic card -working fine
I saw a thread that said that I should install the intel driver and then the amd driver but when I try to install the intel vga driver it shows this:
"This system does not meet the minimum requirements to install this software"
I have tried installing the amd drivers and nothing works. The aero does not want to work.
What can I do? Thanks

hi zamter52,
Just to verify, do you have the G40-30 or the G40-70?
For the G40-30, this is uses an Intel Celeron N2830 processor, in whicn you need to install this graphics driver:
Intel VGA Driver for 64-bit Windows
If you have the G40-70, this is either powered by an I3/i5/i7 processor, and you need to install this graphics driver:
Intel VGA Driver for Windows 7 (64-bit) - Lenovo G40-70, G50-70
or
Intel® Iris™ and HD Graphics Driver for Windows* 7/8/8.1 64bit
When finished, install the AMD R5 M230 driver:
AMD VGA Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) or try this AMD R5 M230 driver directly from AMD website and observe.
Let me know how it goes.
Regards

Lenovo G50-80 Grafikkarte schaltet falsch um

Hallo zusammen, ich habe mir ein o.g. Laptop gekauft, und habe nun probleme die Grafikkarten-Umschaltung einzurichten. Erstmal mein System: Lenovo G50-80 80E501FQGEProzessor: I7-5500U mit 4 Kernen16GB DDR3 RAMIntel HD Grafics 5500Radeon R5 M230 2GB SpeicherWindows 8.1 Problem: beim Hochfahren des Rechners steht bei einem Rechtsklick unten auf das CCC noch die Radeon, allerdings wird beim Start von CS GO anscheinend auf die Intel umgeschaltet. Ich habe beim Spielen nur 30-50 FPS, bei komplett runtergeschraubten Grafikeinstellungen, allerdings bei einer Auflösung von 1920x1080. Aber das sollten bei dem Rechner 100 FPS wohl drin sein, oder? Was ich bisher versucht habe: ich habe die Treiber der Grafikkarte mehrfach neuinstalliert, einmal von der AMD-Homepage direkt heruntergeladen, einmal von Lenovo, einmal von Windows automatisch installieren lassen.Auch die Intel-Treiber habe ich aktualisiert. hierbei wurde mehrfach eine falsche(?) Grafikkarte erkanntnach dem Starten des Spiels: Ich habe in den Umschaltbaren Grafiken alle Einstellungen ausprobiert, habe in den Windows-Energieeinstellung auf höchstleistung umgestellt, auf ausbalanciert, nichts hat geholfen. im Bios ist auch eingestellt, dass der Grafikprozessor geswitcht werden kann. Deaktivieren der Intel-Graka im Gerätemanager führte dazu, dass ich den externen Bildschirm über HDMI nicht mehr ansteuern kann. Ist die Grafikkarte kaputt? oder kann es sein, dass nur die Intel den HDMI-Ausgang ansteuern kann? Liebe Grüße Helge Edit: Hier noch mein 3D Mark Test-Ergebnis: Hab ich jetzt doch ne andere Grafikkarte verbaut als ausgeschrieben?! Ich verstehe es nicht... Auf jeden Fall ist die Performance ungenügend!

Ich würde mal nur die Treiber von Lenovo verwenden. http://supporhttp://support.lenovo.com/de/de/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-80t.lenovo.com/de/de/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-80. Und zwar mal alle. Chipsatz Grafik usw. eventuell auch Biosupdate wenn eines zur Verfügung steht. PC Hersteller passen teilweise die verbaute Hardware nach ihren Bedürfnissen an (gerade was Grafikkarten angeht). Da funktionieren meist die Treiber für die Grafikkarte vom PC Hersteller am besten auch wenn diese nicht immer aktuell sind. Wenn alle Treiber von Lenovo verwendet werden sollte auch der Name der Grafikkarte richtig angezeigt werden die verbaut ist.Die Treiber auf der Lenovo Supportseite sind recht aktuell.

G50-70 intel hd graphics stress test warning

Hello.I resently bought lenovo G50-70.After running comprehensive hardware test I got warning on intel hd graphics stress test.What does it mean?
Thanks

hi andreyzhitnikov,
If you're not getting any artifacts on the screen (eg. when playing a video, a game, or any graphics-intensive application) then the error that you're getting is likely a false positive.
- Sample image
To verify, run OCCT or Intel Burn Test and run a GPU Stress Test / Video Memory Test.

Lenovo g50-45 aceleradora de graficos

hola a todos y agradezco a quien me pueda ayudar, tengo una lenovo g50-45 procesador AMD E1-6010 APU with AMD Raedon R2 Graphics 1.35 GHz, RAM 4 Gb, disco duro de 500 Gb, y quiero saber si puedo adaptarle una aceleradora de video y cual me recomiendan. gracias

Hola piplup que tal,
Este modelo no cuenta con una pantalla táctil lo que supondría que no consigas un repuesto o pieza para este cometido, pantallas externas con la tecnología táctil en el mercado existen pero el precio es elevado.
Tu segunda pregunta no la entiendo bien, el menú inicio te manda a la nueva interfaz metro de Windows en donde existen acceso a aplicaciones divididas por rectángulos , de estos rectángulos tienes problemas con tema color, este problema solo sucede en esa interfaz o en general.
Un saludo.

G50-70 59421783 upgrade with SSD 250 GB and to 8GB RAM

Hi, i would like to buy G50-70 59421783 ( Intel Core i5 4210U (1.70/2.70GHz, 2MB L3)
HD 1TB SATA - RAM 4GB - Display 15,6" wide
Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n - Bluetooth 4.0 - Windows 8.1 64-bit
Graphic card AMD Radeon R5 M230 2GB ) and so I'll become a LENOVO user!!!
Is possible to upgrade it adding more RAM ? Is there another slot available?
Is also possible to replace the HDD with SSD 250 Gb (MZ-7TE250BW 840 EVO) ? Is there any issue related (e.g. connector, driver, size ... )? I red the MZ-7TE250BW 840 EVO is 2,5" : is it perfectly suitable ?
Many thanks in advance for the answer.
Cheers,
Giacomo
Solved!

hi Giacomo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums
Regarding your questions:
1. Looking at page 28 of the HMM, the G50-70 uses the following RAM:
DDR3L-1,600 MHz SODIMM × 2 (max 16 GB)
- Link to picture
For the upgrade, you will need to look under the hood to identify if you have 2GB (x2), or a single 4GB.stick. Alternatively, you can also use CPU-Z for the identification.
- Link to picture
2. For the HDD, G50-70 with machine type 59421783 uses an ST1000LM024 8G 9.5mm 5.4K 1TB HDD.
Although the Samsung MZ-7TE250BW 840 EVO is 7mm thick, it will still fit on the G50-70 and should work properly as there's a bracket that holds the drive in place (see page 37-38 of the HMM).

Does the AMD A8-6410 meet the processors specifications for Premiere Elements?

I Am looking at this machine, will it work with elements?
Lenovo G50 – 80E3016AUS is a value for money laptop with an AMD quad-core processor inside. The processor type is A8-6410, clocked at 2.0 GHz and supports AMD Turbo Core technology up to 2.4 GHz. The processor has 2 MB of L2 cache and integrated AMD Radeon R5 graphics card. Like other G50 models, it has a 15.6-inch widescreen with 16:9 aspect ratio and 1366 x 768 pixels resolution. It’s very impressive that this affordable laptop is equipped with 8 GB SDRAM. That gives you great multitasking performance. A 500 GB HDD is included inside.

Thanks Sandeep,
I looked at the specs but am not technical enough to know if the A8 processor meets the specs.
2GHz or faster processor with SSE2 support; dual-core processor required for HDV or AVCHD editing and Blu-ray or AVCH
Thanks for checking and letting me know.

Hi, I had the problem installing the driver for the video card and couldn't resume from standby. After updating the BIOS the machine worked smoothly. Maybe you can check if you have the latest BIOS installed?

Lenovo G50-45 Wireless has dissapeared completely

I have a Lenovo G50-45 that when i bought it worked perfectly. Here recently it seems the wireless adapter has magically vanished and i say that because ive done everything i know to do and ive searched google everywhere but no one seems to have the same issue i do except one person and he was running linux and was able to resolve his issue. I on the other hand havent been able to.This laptop has a bluetooth/wireless card combo. The card handles both connections. The laptop itself has a AMD 8 processor, 4GB ram 1TB HDD running windows 8.1Oneday the laptop just wouldnt connect to wifi. I work on computers alot, and short of replacing the card itself i havent found the solution on my own.The wireless adapter does not show up in network sharing when you click change adapter settings. Only the LAN and bluetooth connections are there. I checked in device manager and there is no missing or improperly installed hardware. Opened the network connections in Device manager and there is no wireless adapter, no WLAN, no wireless anything avaliable there.I have done the following:I uninstalled and reinstalled the bluetooh driver. updated the bluetooh driver. physically removed the card, started the laptop (the bluetooth connection dissapeared like i expected, turned off the laptop and reinstalled the card and restarted, the bluetooth connection reappeared but not the wireless.I checked in the BIOS. Wireless is enabled. I updated the BIOS. Restored defaults. Still no wireless card.I thought maybe there was an issue within windows 8.1I partitioned the HDD and set off 100GB and installed Windows 7. I didnt think id be able to install the card but i wanted to see if windows 7 detected the hardware. It actually installed the bluetooth card by itself and properly, with an out of date driver im sure but it recognized it.But it did not find the wireless adapter. No wireless card in Device manager in windows 8.1 or a fresh install of windows 7.I ignored that the card wasnt there, and i went to the lenovo site and downloaded the proper up to date drivers. installed them on windows 7 and 8.1. I get the following error message "No appropriate driver to be installed"Now i have a feeling the card itself is to blame. Maybe i have that one card that just wasnt gonna make it. Ive never had a wireless card burn out on me ever but i suppose it is possible. But before i go buying parts, even though its cheap i dont have much money. And the principle of it all, if the card works why should i buy another one? right? its a disgrace to say i work on these devices and be beaten by one of them. So has anyone had a similar issue? Something i havent yet tried?I would just throw in a wireless adapter i have here but the port on the motherboard is different than what i see in most laptops, i assume because its both wireless and bluetooth. I only have wireless cards laying around, non of them fit properly so i will need to buy a replacement to test. But if anyone can help me out, id appreciate it.

Hi Kris_hm,
Welcome to Lenovo Communtiy Forums!
Normal Troubleshooting path on this cases includes
Power Cycle of the system
Checking of WLAN in BIOS if Enabled (Includes resetting BIOS to defaults)
WLAN card reseating (Removing WLAN card and reconnecting the WLAN again) Includes cleaning of the ports and connectors.
If these are all met - You might need to replace the WLAN card,
The WLAN Card socket supports M.2 / Ngff Connection type
Make sure you get a replacement card that is on this Maintenance Manual WLAN list and has an FRU tag.
This is to avoid getting whitelist problem
