Graphic card problem with pavilion g6 2132 tx.

During the purchase of my notebook i.e. pavilion g6 2132tx i was told that it holds two graphic adapters i.e. Intel hd 3000 and ati radeon 7670 bt whenevr i run any application or game or even in the system info it tel only about intel one's,i want ati to be my default graphic adaptor so it could enjoy bettr graphics

Are these the proper specifications?  I somehow doubt they are correct as very few notebooks, in my experience, actually came with FreeDOS as the OS.
What is the product number of the notebook?

There are two approaches to switchable graphics: dynamic/fixed  and manual.  The dynamic/fixed mode is determined in the BIOS setting and will choose whatever card is deemed appropriate for the given application on the fly.  It can changed to a fixed mode in BIOS where the AMD card is set as the only video card. 
The manual mode is the more recent and more common setup for switchable graphics.  I call it a manual mode, but I'm not certain what the official name for it is.  This is where a user can right-click the desktop and select configure switchable graphics.  Here, the Intel or AMD card can be selected. 
This is similar to the image below.
There is a check box for automatically select power saving GPU when on battery.  If this is checked, the system will automatically switch to the Intel card when the charger is disconnected.  This is generally enabled by default.  If this is unchecked, the notebook should remain on whatever card was set as the active card regardless of connecting the charger or not. 
This document should give some more information regarding switchable graphics.

  • Were there graphics card problems with the 2006 Mac Pros?

    I'm curious about the ATI 2600 graphics card issues occuring with the new Mac Pro's using Leopard...
    Did this just start occuring or were people also having problems with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT cards on the 2006 Mac Pro's while running Tiger?
    The reason I'm asking is my Dual 867 has finally given up the ghost and needs to be replaced and I have the opportunity to buy a new 2 Dual-Core 2.66GHZ Mac Pro with Tiger loaded in lieu of the newer, problem ridden models.
    Thanks for your responses.

    the 7300 has had no widespread problems.

  • HP Pavilion G4 1003-TX Graphic Card Problem

    Hello... I have HP pavilion G4 1003TX laptop which cureently having graphic card problem. Technician at my place said that's caused by the solder connection on my Radeon graphic card.  He said it can be repaired, but the same problem will happen again soon unless i replaced my graphic card with new one.
    In my laptop, i have Radeon and Intel graphic card which i can switch freely. My question is, if i change from my Radeon to my Intel graphic card, is my graphic card problem solved? Is my laptop still will not last long unless i buy new graphic card?
    Please help me if you know the answer. Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    So my laptop will not start after i turned it on. The technician said it because some solder connection on the graphic card so it need to be resoldered. He warn me that the same problem will happen again soon since it's sign that my VGA card will dead. After he resoldered, my laptop can work normally for 3 months. Now, after 3 months, my laptop  can't start again just like before. The technician said it because of solder connection of my VGA card again.
    So, since my laptop has Intel and Radeon VGA card that i can switch, is switching my VGA card form Radeon to Intel will solve my Radeon VGA card dead problem? Will my laptop can work normally if i switch my VGA card to Intel?

  • Mail (4.6) in OS10.6.8 shows several photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.). Could it be a graphics card problem?

    My mother-in-law's MacBook Pro 13 (m2009) Mail (4.6) with OS 10.6.8 shows several
    photo attachments with discoloration, distortion (jagged lines, splotches of color, etc.).
    Could it be a graphics card problem?
    Or a bad unpacking of attachments over poor WiFi/Internet?
    If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate your help.
    Thanks from Japan!

    Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The better your description, the better the chance of a solution.
    For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

    The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
    Kind regards,

  • Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement

    Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement?
    Macbook Pro eligible for replacement through Apple program.
    Submitted my computer 2 days before program came into effect.
    They replaced card or logic board with same original model: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
    Issued me a refund check for my repair.
    Seems to have some noticeable issues, fan running more than usual again, and temporary graphic lines,
    but disappear too fast before a screen dump...
    Is anyone who has participated in the replacement program received a different graphic card for
    Model Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011)
    Thank you for the reply.

    Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
    Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

  • Graphic Upgrade Problem with K430 desktop - Unresolved!

    Hi,
    Xmas 2012 I purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre K430 Desktop from PC world.
    PC World said it would be upgradable if I need to upgrade it.
    The system is:
    Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
    16.0 GB DDR3
    1.8 TB Hardrive
    Windows 8
    Geforce GT 640
    I recently purchased Crysis 3 and its not running very well, so I brought a Geforce GTX 660.
    However when I installed and rebooted the PC, I was greated with a blank flashing screen?
    other people have simular problems on the GeForce forums.
    I have since took the card back PLUS 3 MORE for a refund, and very dissapointed that I can't upgrade this PC.
    CAN SOMEONE AT LENOVO PLEASE REPLY WITH A LIST OF 'MODERN/LATEST GRAPHIC CARDS, THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS MODEL STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX?
    CHANGING THE BIOS SETTINGS DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!
    It's been almost 2 years and I've still not found a compatible card, so much for the Ultimate Upgradable PC!
    Cheers.

  • HT1553 my laptop screen has gone blank, probably graphic card problem. i want to back it up. please help

    my laptop screen has gone blank probably due to graphic card problem.i need to back up my content as i have bought a new mac and do not intend on repairing the old one. please help

    Try a Target disk:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
    If you are buying a new mac, Apple will do the migration for you, I would let them do it.
    If you have an external monitor, I would try to do a data backup before doing anything.
    Could also be your drive has already failed, or logic card.  Again I would take it the  Apple store, and have them deal with it since you bought a new Mac, they would do this for free, and the shoulder the responsibility.
    Hoe this helps.

  • Graphic card problem maybe? Since when I have changed the hard drive to my macbook pro and I installed all the new softwares, my mac is very slow and the screen gives crazy pictures,could maybe be the graphic card, does anybody have experienced this?

    after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days

  • HT4993 i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?

    i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?

    Hello,
    I'm also had problems with Iphone 5 , it read no sim card, i solved problem by removing sim card and cleaning with alcohol and q-tip and installing back.
    Shut down phone.
    On the side of phone , you will see a small pin hole, insert paper clip and sim card will come out, be careful to do it over a clean towel as not to let drop on floor, make sure your hands clean while doing this.
    Insert sims card back and turn on, it should work again.
    Good Luck.

    Well, although LR5 is a great improvement of speed, the dev. team should try to work on MF files such as from the Pentax 645D… any speed improvement would be much appreciated, especially with dust removal and masking tools.

  • Problems running PC game with bootcamp, graphics card problem?

    I have searched extensively on answers to this question and I've gotten some vague ideas of what to do, but not a direct answer.
    I recently installed a copy of Windows on my 15in Macbook Pro (the ones that came out right before the latest ones in late August/Early October 2008 or whatever). I did this in order to play Final Fantasy XI Online on my laptop. The machine is more than capable of running the game and I've read forum posts that had said that it works fine through bootcamp. I installed the game and was playing it just fine until one day the game began to lag really bad in areas where there were a lot of people or in other words something very demanding of the memory/graphics. I don't mean internet speed lag, I mean the computer would slow the game down to a crawl and the sound would be sort of garbled like it was some sort of feedback. It would happen periodically or if some sort of animation would start (spellcasting, etc)
    I've tried everything from changing the settings of the game so that it's not as demanding to installing modified drivers for the graphics card (256mb Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT). I read that there may be some problems with the graphics and sound cards communicating which causes lag?
    The computer also gets unnaturally hot while I run the game/windows in general. Could it be a cooling problem?
    Please help!

  • IPhone 4 (GSM) with a graphics card problem (artifacts).

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4 (GSM) started making a color bands about two minimeters flush with the bottom edge of the screen and about a month and a half later the picture started to bounce and now it appears on the screen that I could call artifacts. I'm sure that the problem comes from the graphics card.
    Serial Number: 81*****A4S

    Yes it does. You just need to obtain a SIM card from your carrier.
