Graphic video problem

Hi i have a problem with the graphics of my laptop the model of my laptop is HPG62-B53SE i bought it in Qatar but now i'm in the philippines right now is there anyway i can fix it or should i go to service center of HP for them to check the hardware problem. How do i contact HP customer support so i could ask them about my problem

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It looks like it could be a graphics chip problem of some sort. If you have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video chip, it could be this problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
If you don't have this chip, but instead have different video chips, you can run the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test and see if anything shows up in the form of an error code. You could also try an external display and see if you get the same problem. If you do, that would point towards a graphic chip problem of some sort.
Good luck!

Graphics/Video Problems on HP Pavilion dv4-1155se

We have a brand spanking new HP Pavilion dv4-1155se running Windows Vista 64-bit Edition that continues to have issues. At random times, the laptop display will flicker 2 or 3 times, and the laptop will blue screen, stating a problem with the graphics adapter. We've updated the BIOS and graphics drivers from HP to no avail. We've also donwloaded a driver directly from ATI which seemed to resolve the issue for an extended period, but has re-occured today.
The only thing I can think of is that Vista may be using a built-in driver for the graphics adapter which is no good. I'm considering the possibility that even though I updated the graphics with a driver directly from ATI, Vista overwrote it with its own again. The laptop is currently off-site so I cannot verify this, but if anyone has had similar issues I'd like to see if you were able to find a fix.
Regards,
Phil

Do you also get this error (in addition to the BSOSs): "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
I started receiving the flickering screen and then the nvlddmkm error problem after I downloaded:
Realtek - Network - Realtek RTL8168B/8111B Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)
Installation date: ‎11/‎8/‎2008 3:20 PM
Installation status: Successful
Update type: Optional
DriverUpdate: Realtek Network software update released in July, 2008
And:
Device Driver Package Install: HP Developmen...
I have a NVIDIA GPU and since you have ATI our similar errors may just be coincidental and/or a result of Windows Update.
I do not know how the Realtek d/l would conflict with the GPU and I also updated HP Heath Check and HP Quick Play and HP Quick Launch Buttons just before Realtek. I keep 'Print Screen' shots of my System Restore page to document the chronology of my updates and software installs. Then through Problem Reports and Solutions, which displays the exact time of the "video hardware error", I was able to associate the aforementioned 3 recent updates as potential problems.
Many dv9000 computers (and more) are experiencing the video display problems I am and their complete computer failures occur soon after receiving those video warnings.
Therefore, as you noted, your problem or mine might be as innocuous as an updated driver conflict from Windows Update or an HP driver update.

T400 - Video problems and a long wait for repair...

Hi,
I'd just like to state my experience with Lenovo Customer Support for a video problem with my T400. Bottom line, as of today, it's been around 27 business days that it's been with Lenovo, and 41 days total since it's failed on me, and nobody, including Lenovo Customer Support, seems to know what its status is exactly, except that they're waiting on a part which has no ETA.
In July 2009, I bought a T400, a 2764CTO version with the switchable graphics between the internal intel graphics and the ATI GPU.
All was well until February 1st, 2010, when the LCD sudden wouldn't work. Well, it would work, but the screen was very very dim, even with the display maxed out on brightness. You would have literally bring your nose to the screen in order to even make out any text or images - definitely unusable. However, if you hooked up an external monitor via the video output, the T400 would display video output properly that way. When I did this, I noticed that the switchable graphics option wasn't there any more - couldn't switch to the ATI GPU. Based on this, I figured it must be a video card or LCD issue, or a combination of both.
So, I called Lenovo Customer Support (CS) at 1-800-565-3344, since I'm up here in Canada, and I initially was issued a case number of 41JRFSD, and I agreed to send it to a local Lenovo Repair Centre. Oops, my bad, I made a mistake using the locator tool I was told to use at bplocator.lenovo.com, and thought the Centre was relatively close. Not quite. So, I called Lenovo CS again, and they issued me with a new case number, 40KWSYF, and said they'd send a box for return to depot. And within 2 days, Feb 2nd or 3rd, I got a Purolator courier return box. That's fast service! Pleased, I put my T400 in according to instructions, and I sent it off.
Fast forward to about mid-February. I called Lenovo CS, and apparently there was a delay - the depot needed a part that wasn't in stock. Fine, I know these things can happen - I'll wait.
Fast forward to March 1st. I talk to a Lenovo CS rep, and it appears that the part needed has arrived, and they've put a rush order to get the computer back to me. Great!
Fast forward to March 8th, still no computer. I talk to another Lenovo CS rep... strange, there's no update. The issue gets escalated to the Depot managers.
Fast forward to March 12th. Still no word on my T400's status. An email fron CS has been sent to the depot. Not even the CS reps know what's going on. The rep I talk to figures there should be a response by the end of the day.
Fast forward to today, March 13th, 4:50pm Pacific Time. I just finish talking to Lenovo CS, there's been no response from the depot. Apparently there's a part that they're waiting on for repairs, but there's no ETA on it. Is it the same part that I've waiting on all this time? Is it a new one? I don't know.
At this point, I've been told to send an email explaining my situation, and I've also been told to talk to Scott the next time I call CS on Monday after 3pm Eastern. I have to stress that the Lenovo Customer Support Reps I've talked to have all been very sympathetic and have been courteous, helpful, and professional - something I appreciate from having worked in Customer Support myself. But the bottom line remains: my computer's not back to me.
So, my questions to the community here: is my experience here typical? Is there any hope of my seeing my computer back, or even at least just the hard drive? I've used Lenovo computers for work for the past 7 years, and it was my good work experiences that led me to buying a Lenovo for home use. However, it's been a while since I've been without my T400, and I was hoping to get my taxes done on the computer too, since they're due at the end of March. I'll reserve judgement on Lenovo until I get my computer back, but at this point, all I can say is... I'm disappointed.
If you're reading this, I'll let you judge my experience for youself. I'll update my case as it progresses.
Thanks!

Hi all,
So, an update with some good news: my computer is finally back!
After a total of over 40 business days (just over 2 months) I finally have my T400 back at home, working again!
According to the spec sheets, the repair depot had to replace: the systemboard/planar, display/LCD panel, LCD cable, PC card, bluetooth, and the inverter. BIOS/Embedded controller was also updated, along with the regular diagnostics to ensure everything was working properly.
I give Lenovo credit though: they got the final parts to repair the computer on Monday, April 5th, and shipped my computer back to me for the next day (today, April 6th). That's fast service, once repaired!
However, my case spans over 4 screens of updates and repair depot orders of parts.
Also, it took me over 10 calls to Lenovo's Customer Service, plus an escalation to a higher-level manager after 1 month had passed, to get progress updates and ETAs for repair.
Lenovo called me only once to give me an update, and that was the manager whom my issue was escalated to: all the other times, I called Lenovo for an update.
The story doesn't end here, however:
In talking to Customer Support, they told me that Sales might be able to sell me an extended warranty at a discount, given the issues I had. And indeed, after talking to Sales, they offered me a 1 year warranty extension at a price of just over $100 CDN, plus tax. This is a sale price, compared to the regular retail of $129. Unfortunately, they can't sell me just one month.
At this point, I refused their offer, and again escalated to a manager to request an extension of exactly 1 month on my existing warranty. I figure 1 month delay in repairs, that's plausible - crap happens, and while most repairs take 5-10 business days, I can understand it can sometimes go higher. Two months though.... My request for a warranty extension is being considered by the manager it was escalated to.
So, one last question for you folks reading this: am I being unreasonable, talking to Lenovo support one more time to request a 1 month extension of my warranty, given the length of time it's taken for repairs? I'll post the response Lenovo will give me tomorrow, as they've said they'll do.
One thing for sure: Lenovo's response will definitely influence my choice of brand from whom to buy a new computer (and it will influence the choice of my friends who've heard my issues, and maybe yours too). My particular repair problem may not come up often, but if it does happen to you, I'd be happy to know of your experience.
Thanks for sticking with me through the drama!

Diagnosing video problem

Hi all,
I've got a PowerMac G5 2.0 GHz from May, 2004. It has the original ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. I recently had to replace the logic board (with a working used one). That worked fine for months, but now I'm getting video problems. I'll get flashing vertical stripes of short horizontal bars. Sometimes it seems that if I jiggle the display connector at the computer, the screen settles down for a while, but it is not completely certain that this is cause and effect. I hooked up a TV to the DVI port (using Apple's DVI-Video adaptor) and got the same issues, so it's not the display or the cable. I'm hoping that it's a graphics card problem, and not the "new" logic board. Is there a troubleshooting procedure, short of buying and trying a new graphics card, that would let me narrow down the problem?
Thanks for any help.
-Aron

What you describe sounds like a failing graphics card. My particular troubleshooting process is to swap in another one to see if it works. It's handy to have a few extra parts. Short of that, you might try downloading ATIccelerator and using it to downclock the card. Downclock both the GPU and memory by 5 to 10%. If it helps, that would give a more clear indication.
http://thomas.perrier.name/
Also, if downclocking helps, it might still be possible to salvage the card. As with virtually everything else, Japamac has a nice tutorial on the subject of card maintenance:
First read his overview:
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/16196A0F-952B-47ED-A9F9-91F7B0E CA431.html
Then read the teardown instructions for your specific card:
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/C874D84E-96DD-4DFF-9566-7C66BE0 65BB5.html
Applying fresh thermal compound is not an optional step. Maybe wait to see what others have to say about this suggestion before purchasing the compound. The fact that it isn't doing it all of the time leads me to believe that it might not be too late, but I don't know how common it is to bring them back once they start showing problems.
Before anything, I might try reseating the card and not just wiggling it from the outside. Take it out, blow out the dust with some compressed air, and verify that the fan moves freely. Clean the contacts on the card with a pencil eraser. Also verify that the fan is actually working when you put it back in.
There might be something else obvious to try that totally eludes me at the moment. Hopefully, you'll get some better feedback than this. Good luck.

14 Jan 2013 - my client was experiencing display artifaces and the graphics card failed the Dell Diags video memory test. The graphic card replaced by Dell Tech.
13 Jun 2013 - my client was again experiencing display artifaces, running Dell Diags reported both hard drive and graphic video memory failed testing. I was concerned that the graphic card had failed again so quickly I worried there may be another defective part was causing the graphic card failure. I figured the most likely cause would be overheating and since the graphics card has an independent heatsink and cooling fan assembly I submitted Dell Warranty Request W03725377 requesting new hard drive, new graphics card, and new graphics card heatsink.
18 July 2013 - my client was again experiencing display problems. He reported:
The laptop has developed the same problem again. Soon as I switched it on over the weekend, the screen split into two and then it froze and then there were stripes on the screen. I shut it down and switched it on again, hoping this will work but the screen just remained black.
I booted into Dell Diags and shortly after starting the basic test when the test moved from solid blue to the GUI vertical yellow bars appeared. The yellow bars were visible throughout all testing except the LCD test and on the BIOS Screen. The LCD test didn't show the yellow vertical bars but it did show the repeating series of white dots that I have seen before with previous graphics card memory failures. I tried booting into Safe Mode and Safe Mode VGA 640 x 480. All attempts end with a black screen.
I can order and replace the graphics card under warranty but it seems obvious that something is causing the repeated graphic card failures and I want to fix the problem. I've been searching the forums and it seems other people have been experiencing related problems. I've quoted a thread I believe may be relevant
This thread explores a possible combination of LCD Panel Manufacturer and Graphics Card Manufacturer/ Model

I believe I have a similar problem with my Dell M6600 with AMD(ATI) M8900 graphics card. I've used the computer without problems for 1 1/2 years and 3 days ago I noticed the mouse pointer getting corrupted, then the screen flashed and went dark. I've tried system restore without success. When I remove all the ATI software, the computer works with the Generic VGA driver. I spent 2 days trying to reinstall the ATI drivers from both Dell and AMD with no success again. This has been very frustrating as it takes hours to do a system repair check, boot in Safe Mode and remove the ATI software.When the ATI driver/software bundle is installed the computer does not boot correctly and go to a black screen after the Windows boot up logo. As soon as I remove all the ATI drivers and software the computer boots again and works with the Generic VGA driver. I don't want to erase my hard drives (RAID 1) just to try to fix this. I will buy another laptop hard drive and try a clean Windows 7 Pro install. My guess is that either the graphic card is going bad or ATI drivers are not compatible with the latest Windows Update. Did you have any luck fixing your problem?

Video problems/settings -- cannot edit

im having video problems and the most relevent time i experience them is when playing video games
i know this may not seem the right place, but ive checked all the publisher's websites and their help is very limited, at least for mac anyway.
the thing is, it has occurred before many years ago, on a couple of distinct games, while i was using os 9. and now it has come back to haunt me in os x
1) one game, named 'warcraft 3' for those who know it, usually loads with an opening video and ever since some preferences were changed (all those years ago - i cant remember how) it only showed a blank white screen whenever the resolution adjusted for the purpose of showing any cinematics. this happens in both os 9 and os x
2) in the game 'quake 3' (which also opens up with trailers) it gets worse because whenever i load it in os x it goes to a blank screen and from then on no frantic clicking or escape buttons work. only applealtesc (force quit) force quits it, and strangely pressing enter does the same. The weirdest part is that now it works fine in os 9 with all the trailers and all, but in os x this event doesnt even allow me to play the game itself.
i feel strongly somehow that the problems are related, probably because of the omenous blank screen that comes up attempting to run each one
does anyone know anything of these settings and how i might change them?
i have a sneaking suspicioun that it has something to do with at least one of the following:
openGL (which i understand doesnt apply in os x cuz its integrated into the framework of the OS), resolution and refresh rate (i.e. hz), and perhaps rendering to throw in a loose term
for reference, i have none but the basic graphics (/cards) i.e. the ones that came with the machine, and the cinematics have worked on the first game in both operating systems, whilst i cannot recall ever running the second game in os x
thanks in advance
Lex
g4 powerbook 667 mhz 384mb ram 30gb hd Mac OS X (10.3.9) refurbished / relatively old

cannot change refresh rate in system prefs as it says 'N/A' in the greyed down drop down box
if i at some point put the refresh rate too high in one of the games or during a cinematic / in the application that runs the cinematics is there no way i can change that outside of the application/game?
thx in advance

Video problem on PXI-1025 LCD Display

I have a video problem with the internal LCD display in a PXI-1025 MegaPAC Chassis with an NI 8175 embedded controller. Windows XP is loaded on the machine. The external monitor output on the controller looks fine, but all black areas on the LCD display have a snowy green appearance (green "snow" in constant motion like a bad TV picture), the white areas are pinkish, and there are random bars and lines in the display. I substituted a different embedded controller, which made no difference. Device Manager reports no problems under "Display Adapter", with an Intel 82815 graphics controller installed. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the display adapter, which also made no difference. Since the problem appears on the initial boot screen, it doesn't appear that it could be a display adapter problem anyway. I also pulled all of the boards out of the chassis, including the hard drive, which we have on a separate card from the controller, and the problem still exists. (It doesn't boot without the hard drive, of course, but the green snow stays on the initial boot screen).
Since the external monitor output works fine and the problem exists with two different embedded controllers, and nothing else installed in the chassis, it appears that the problem is in the MegaPAC chassis itself. Is there anything else I should try before sending the chassis back to NI for repair? Are there any components in the chassis that can be replaced by the user?
Thanks,
Al

Al,
It sounds to me like it may be the display itself. I would go ahead with the RMA.

Lon A.

Video Problems w/Sim City 4

I was all excited to play my new copy of Sim City 4 on my new G5 (2.1)...but I ran into a bunch of video problems. The game says it requires at least 32Mb of VRam, and my G5 has 128. I thought, hey...128 should be enough, right? Well...even with all the setting down to their lowest graphics settings, the game still is glitchy. Any advice out there on how I can play this game on my G5 without having to sacrifice graphics? Thanks!

I did what you suggested, and it still is glitchy. The glitches start when I try to lay water pipes. The screen turns black, and the when I move around the map with the keyboard arrows...the screen hesitates as well. It's a big ugly mess. I'm hoping it's an easy fix. Any other suggestions?? Thanks a bunch.

Cannot Install Graphical Video Library 2.2 Qosmio F50

Hi, I'm looking for some help installed the Toshiba Graphical Video Library 2.2 update for Windows 7.
I done a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate on my Toshiba Qosmio F50-10Z, everything installed fine including the Flash Cards. But I have a problem installing the Graphical Video Library 2.2 update. I downloaded the Windows 7 GVL version from the support page and found that the update includes 2 folders 1.2 (?) and 2.2.
I've ran the 1.2 update first and installed ok, but when I try to install the 2.2 update it displays a dialog telling me that the installation cannot continue because the old graphical video library database was found.
Does anyone have any idea in how to get this update installed?
Thanks

yeah, I've tried that as well, I've completely removed the older Graphical Video Library from the system, rebooted and then installed the latest GVL, however everytime I run the GVL it complains that there is a DB connection error and then exits the application. I've noticed that the older versions of the GVL had SQL Server 2005 installed, but the latest 2.2/2.1 doesn't do this, it just seems to install the application (with no TVRconversion utility either) which shows the error when run. Would really appreciate any insight into this issue.
Thanks again
my login seems to have stopped working so had to create a new one, hence the different name

Video problem on 1.42 ghz--covered under repair extension?

I have a 1.42 ghz eMac that started showing scrambled video about six weeks ago. After a bit of research, I came across the eMac repair extension program. Apparently it covers only 1.0 and 1.25 ghz machines. But, my serial number falls in the range covered.
Also, I hadn't turned it on since the problem came up; last night I did, and there were no video problems. For about two hours, then it was right back to the scrambled video. Did the same thing happen for those of you with the 1.0 and 1.25 machines?
Any thoughts or info to share? Anyone else with the problem on a 1.42 ghz machine?

cosmic hobo,
I picked up that tip about taking photos of intermittent screen glitches back in the nVidia graphics eMacs days, when raster shift affected a number of eMacs (including mine). I'm afraid I no longer recall who gets credit for the original idea.
You raise a good question about why the leaking capacitor issue only seems to be a serious problem with first-generation G5 iMacs and with eMacs from the 2004 time frame. Certainly other Macs, with and without integrated displays, were being sold in large numbers throughout the period. It might be worth the time to try to look up what factories where building which Mac models at that time, figuring the bad capacitors may've ome through the vendor to a single factory. That's almost certainly considered properitary information, through.
(Off-topic: let me offer thanks to you and Don Morgan, among others, who helped get the eMac capacitor issue recognized. It certainly took more patience than I have to wade through all the rants and whines in that 675+ post monster to work out the parameters of what was affected.)
(I reserve the right to laugh my head off at the poster who demanded action against Apple for the crime of using capacitors in a computer in the first place; I trust that poster wasn't an EE major in college!)

Tired of video problems

In Vista, Ubuntu and now in windows 7, I experience video problems when moving my X61t to and from the docking station. I'm really tired of all the weird behaviours. Win 7 actually has the least problems of any I've tried, but it's still not working perfectly. Here's the win 7 symtoms:
1) Occasionally, after docking, the laptop display goes to secondary monitor (no access to start, etc) but the display does not appear on the main monitor. Sometimes, I can faintly see the display, but it hasn't triggered the monitor's bulb to come on. I almost threw the monitor away, thinking the bulb was burned out.
2) Occasionally, after undocking, the system fails to make the laptop the primary monitor, leaving me with no start button.
Given all the weirdness, I think that windows should do the following:
1) Provide a right click option to make the portion of the desktop clicked the primary monitor.
2) Display the graphic options in the portion of the desktop that is clicked. Right now, win 7 defaults to the primary monitor, which cannot always be seen b/c of these bugs.

to 1: You monitor has a hardware problem. There is no way that windows can control monitor backlight. Windows can only send signal to monitor what it should show on monitor. Or other options is that you have set brigness setting too low that can be donw from windows display propertion->advanced?
2. Did you use windows undock feature before undocking?

Post-Update Video Problems

Ever since installing Leopard update 10.5.2, and the subsequent Leopard Graphics Update 1.0, I've been experiencing an assortment of video problems that were not present prior to installing the updates. These problems include: horizontal black lines through windows in the display, colored blocks in the display, icons in the dock having various kinds of corruption, including garbled lines or superimposed or 1/2 & 1/2 icons, as well as all kinds of flashing and garbled screen display in games. The worst of these problems, which has been occurring several times a day, is total screen lock-up. The application behind the screen may well still be running, but the video is locked tight. The only way out of this situation is a hard re-boot with the power button.
If a fix isn't imminent, is there any way to UNINSTALL the video upgrade?
Thanks.
Robin

iv had a problem sort of like this, when i had my computer started up on the disk and repaired disk/permissions, the image would freeze on the screen, only when i moved the window did it correct itself

Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Video Problem

This year at Randolph-Macon College we replaced the Math lab Emac computers with IMac G5 Intel machines. The laboratory has an NEC model MT1050 projector with a manufacturer’s date of August 2002. We can not seem to get rid of ever present scan lines. We can slow them down and speed them up by adjusting resolution and refresh rates, but nothing will remove them. We are connecting the IMac to the projector via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. It is specifically designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), and the adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector.
Troubleshooting the problem we have swapped IMac Intel computers with no luck, but we still have to use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. When we hook the projector to a Intel Mac Book Pro, we have to use a different adapter, but then it works perfectly. In fact, everything we try using other adapters works fine, it’s just when we use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter that we experience the video problem.
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, have you been able to remedy it?

I don't have much to suggest, except to ask if you can try with a different mini-DVI to VGA adapter. (i.e. do you have more than one on hand to make sure yours isn't just defective?) Make sure it is firmly seated into the iMac.
I use the same adapter to provide an extended desktop on an old CRT monitor and the display is great.
