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.

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!

Problem with HP pavilion dv4-1117nr touchpad pointer & key

I was browsing on the internet a few hours ago and all of a sudden it hanged. Tried to shut it down by pressing the power button but it did not work so took off the battery. When I turned it back on, I selected the safe mode. The cursor was moving fine as I used the touchpad but the left key didn't work although the right key worked. So I restarted in the normal mode but the problem persists, & additionally I noted that when the computer is switched on, there is a dotted dragging box (don't know if there's a technical or common name) along the cursor. The kind that happens with left-click and draggin.
I was thinking somehow the touchpad key is jammed but the tapping on the touchpad option is not working either! So it's a left-key mechanism fault as a hole.
Right now I am using an external mouse to work.
Any suggestions that don't involve hardware checking?

Did you find a solution to this.
I suffered a similar problem on my machine
HP pavillion dv4-1100ea s/N: CND8421Lw7 running vista home.
I was using an application and left click stopped working and cimputer was crashed I had to restart a few times before it would run. I have not yet tried a new driver as I personally think it is hardware related. If there is a software bug issue with this I woudl apreciate HP Tech given some feedback on this problem as it does not appear to be a one off.
The most annoying thing is I bought laptop 05/12/2008 and the fault occured 07/12/2009 which is a very annoying I am not sure if anyone will do anything to help or will care!
broken mouse keys used to happen on cheap laptops back in the 95 no excuses really for such and key hardware feature to fail arfter such a short time.

I have a problem with my pavilion dv4-2045dx dvd/cd rom drive for windows 7 64-bit

I can play CD's and watch dvd movies fine. The drive have no problem reading cd and DVD's. My problem is with cd-rom and blank CD's and DVD's. I can't burn anything. For some reason, it won't read any cd-rom disks. This has never been a problem before. I tried the idea about the upper and lower filters but when I searched, I didn't see any upper or lower filters. I tried the microsoft fix it and nothing was wrong. I looked at the device manager and it shows no problem at all. What should I do next?

Hi, did you say this issue just started?
If so have you tried a system restore back to date when it was working?
Here is a link to a document on running a system restore...this is not like a recovery, it won't wipe out all your data

These problems are lasting for more than 8 months and the pc is a jus 1.5 years old.

There might be some hardware issue with the headphone plug, regarding the connectivity issue please update the wireless network adapter driver by downloading it from HP Support website.

CAN I UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD ON MY LAPTOP? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR

I'M PLANNING TO UPGRADE MY LAPTOP SINCE MANY SOFTWARE GAMES REQUIRES HIGHER VIDEO CARD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR.

Not possible Unfortunately...all cards nowadays are built in only
It was possible in the old days
but laptop manufacturers found it more "profitable" to make it not, this way the user will have to buy a new laptop every few years.
there are some third party solutions but they aren't effective really

Laptopn Pavilion Video problems, LCD screen is double , disorted

My Video in my Laptop Pavilion screen is double and distorted and difficult to read. This problem happened slowly over time. When the computer first starts to the XP Logo or when in
DOS. ..now when in boots in Windows, it is distorted and has a double screen and the laptop is not usable to view. To troubleshoot to see its major problem I plug the laptop into external LCD HP Monitor and gives me the same results.
It now the computer shuts down with blue screen.
Now the question is...what would be a good fix to get the computer working again or is it worth repairing?

Hey @ROLWTech ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see the video output on your notebook is on the fritz!
The fact that the display presents the issue before the operating system has loaded tells us there is a hardware problem. The drivers have yet to be loaded at this point so safe mode and reinstalling drivers or Windows would be pointless.
You're most likely looking at an issue with the GPU or inverter. Both of these require extensive repairs to the motherboard and it would be best for you to contact HP Phone Support for repair quotes. It is possible that repairing the motherboard isn't financially worth it depending on your budget and your personal discretion.

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?

No sound when using HDMI to Vizio TV. HP Pavilion dv4-4310us

I just bought a Vizio HDTV and connected to my HP Pavilion dv4-4310us Entertainment Notebook. I have it connected through the HDMI output on the laptop and get great picture, but no sound! I have scoured the forums for Win 7, and here on HP's site...tried a few things but it seems I'm having a different problem than others. Other people have posted that they had sound before and now have no sound. This is my first time using the HDMI output to a TV... I'm running Win 7 Professional, the Audio is IDT, and I have all updated drivers for the Intel 4 Chipset, and the IDT Audio CODEC. I'm hoping someone can help with this! It's very frustrating. Thank you in advance.
Michele

Yeah. It kind of *****! But it is true, HDMI does not transmit sound, just video. Which it does well I must say.
What I did is I have surround sound and I plugged a cord that has male connectors on both sides and I plugged it into my amp on one side and my mcbook on the other, so now I can get sound onto my surround sound and also get the video images on my HDTV. =) If you have a surround sound system with an amp, I would recomend doing this. Its easiest.

How do I add a video card to my Pavilion P6774Y?

Twice my screen blurred out and when it came back, Windows 7 said there had been a graphics problem, and then restarted. I am assuming the integrated video on my HP Pavilion is dying. If this is a correct assessment, what is a recommended video card for this machine and how do i add it?
Thanks... Ron

Here are the specs of your pc:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02629593&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5049534
and here is a nice guide:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Guide-for-Selecting-a-Discrete-Video-Card/m-p/1299011
Since you have a ati graphics chip inside an ati card may be better.
Your psu is 250W so you will need to change it too.
A recommended video card depends on your requirements and your budget.

HP DV4-1155SE Black Screen and Wont Boot. Please Help!

Hello all I am working on an Hp DV4-1155SE. I have tested the memory modules, the hard drive and everything else that I can take out of the computer easily. Everything works but!, The laptop will not boot into the bios or anything else. Black screen, wont boot and i have the bios file that HP supplies on the support page of the site. I have looked at the instructions that a few people have posted about re flashing the bios and that does not seem to help me at all with this AMD processor. If anyone can please offer any help at all this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I will search on int 19h....thanks.
My problem started before the bios-screen.
This is what I tried this evening:
- Disconnected all non-essential devices...no effect.
- Cleared the CMOS...system booted to OS! Screens still garbled!
- Put in an older graphics-card...No artifacts!
- Put my MSI NX6600GT (AGP) back in...screen grabled while booting. Once in OS everything
looks fine at first. Later I noticed some odd random pixels. Playing movies is working fine.
Playing 3D games results in all kinds of strange looking artifacts.
- Installed the latest NVidia- drivers...no effect.
Is my problem still MOBO related or Graphics Adapter?
Any further advice?
Thanks!
