IdeaCentre Q150 Problem installing gma3150 graphic card drivers

Hi all,
I just bought an ideacentre q150 with ion-chipset without an operating system. I installes windows 7 32bit via usb stcik. now i downloaded the drivers from the lenovo homepage, for lan, wlan, chipset, onboard gma3150 and ion card. Unfortunately the driver for the gma chipset failed to install, the failure notice is : "This system does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software ". The driver for the nvidia card installs fine, but when i do the 'speed test' (don't know how it's called in english - I'm german) in the windows control panel, the index for the 2D (aero)-part is still at 1,0. The 3D part is fine. In the device manager there is no error, and just the nvidia card is shown... for asus ion chisets there is a tools called graphicswitcher, but it fails on the lenovo system.
I searched a lot but didn't find answers, maybe you can help?
thnks in advance
greets
Alex

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.

Startup problems after instaling new graphics card drivers

PC: HP p6520 f with a 400 watt power supply
video card: AMD Radeon 6570 (MD1GD3)
After getting the 400 watt power supply, I was able to uninstall the intergrated graphics card's drivers, but I can't succsesfully startup after installing drivers for the new card without a system restore, which of course gets rid of the new drivers.
I've tried newer drivers, but those don't work either.
Any suggestions?

Hello Sev_07. I understand you're unable to install your video card drivers.
Are you receiving an error on boot?
Are you experiencing any issues with other pieces of hardware?
Have you tried running HP Support Assistant and Windows Update to ensure all of the software and drivers are completely up to date?
It may also be helpful for you to provide your product number so I can look at your computer's specifications. This document can show you where this is located.
I hope you have a great day!

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.

Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
The things that i did:
- Reinstall Windows
- Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
- different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

@Enegue ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9. The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine. It is designed to be fore general use.
Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.
Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site. They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

IdeaCentre K230 - Doesn't detect graphics cards (in PCI-E Slot)

Hello,
I bought a IdeaCentre K230 like 1 or 2 weeks ago and tried to install a graphics card. It did not work. Is it possible this motherboard (the stock one that came with the desktop) does not detect it as it does not show in the Device Manager? Because it didn't detect an Nvidia one i had before. Sorry I am real new to this hardware stuff.
So I purchased a ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card today and tried to install it. I first disabled my on-board graphics driver(s)/adapter (Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family) and then I powered off my computer, opened the case, installed the 4670 into the PCI Express slot and put the case back into it's place.
Then I turned on my computer and it was a 800x600 resolution. So I went into Device Manager and checked Display Adapters and I did not see the Radeon. So I opened the CD/DVD drive and inserted the CD that came with the graphics card. Then I ran the installation and it said "Installation complete. Errors have occurred" (or something to that effect). So I was like *** I'm pissed since this is the second card I have tried (previous being an Nvidia). And I'm not sure if I needed to plug the DVI cable for my monitor into the card so I did that and restarted and nothing showed (however I did hear the fan running, so it does have power). So then I plugged in the standard VGA into the adapter thing that came with it (that you plug in a VGA and then you plug the adapter into the card outputting a DVI signal thingy??), got nothing. So then I plugged the VGA into the one that is not on the card but on the computer itself. Then display showed (again, in 800x600). I am sure that the card is physically installed properly as I hear the fan running, and see it running. I also might add that the graphics card does not require additional power as it gets its power via the PCI Express port.
Please, PLEASE help me as to what I am doing wrong.
The Nvidia 9600 GSO did not work because the motherboard did not detect it (according to Geek Squad @ Best Buy). I am afraid that might be the problem of this one too. But I really want a good graphics card to work in my computer.
Computer Specs:
Pentium Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz (5.00 total GHz)
6.00 GB ram
Windows Vista 64-bit

I wouldn't say that the power supply would be the problem. It would definitely keep the graphics card from reaching it's full potential.
Generally you would do the following....
Power off computer.
Flip the switch on the power supply to off.
Open case.
Insert the card into the PCI-E x16 slot.
Connect VGA/DVI to graphics card. [If required, connect power supply to graphics card. But I see this is not the case.]
Boot up computer.
Install driver.
Adjust resolution/settings.
Enjoy.
Try reseating the graphics card.

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

MSI Gx700 ex edition Graphics card drivers

Hi, I am having trouble installing the latest version of Nvidia's graphics card drivers for my gx 700's 8600M GT, seen as though I am currently running on some drivers from 2007, when I come to try and install the driver it says it cannot detect any hard-ware that is compatible with the software even though that is the one that was recommended to me by Nvidia! The version I am trying to install is version 186.81 the version I currently have has a date of 01/11/2007 and is version 7.15.11.5680
I don't know all my system info but here goes.
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 Ghz
Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT w/ 512 MB RAM
2 GB System RAM
Windows Vista 32 bit with SP2
Any help would be appreciated

MSI doesn't update drivers unless there is a reason to do so.
Just because nVidia releases a new driver package doesn't mean the drivers are updated at all.
What I don't get, if you need the latest, then it's obvious you need it for gaming, but then you would have upgraded to Windows7 as that's better for gaming.
Or you are doing an upgrade for no reason, but such is silly.
For these onboard-chips, nVidia decided NOT to release generic drivers.
Why? Is a mystery to all of use, but nVidia does a lot of strange stuff the last couple of years.

Satellite L500D-16L update graphics card drivers

I'm trying to play Harry Potter 1-4 on my laptop but it hasn't installed properly and bugs in the 1st scene. I contacted the game manufacturers about it and they told me to update my graphics card drivers but I can't find where they are on this site. Does anyone know how and where I can update the drivers?

Hi mate
All Toshiba drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
Satellite L500D-16L belongs to the PSLT9E series.
You will have to choose this in order to get all drivers for the notebook.
But in many cases the driver versions are not similar to the latest versions available on graphic card manufacturer pages.
The point it that Toshiba drivers are modified and released fro mobile usage the ATI/NVidia drivers dont support overheating protection which helps to control the GPU temperature.
So usage of such drivers is always at you own risk

No Signal after installing new graphics card

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
We have a 2yr old HP p6540y. It has an ATI integrated Video Card. When we recently turned it on, we got a 'no signal' message on the monitor and then it would go to sleep. We have tried several things to fix...listed below, in order, and are still getting the same message. Please advise!
1) No Signal: DVI, VGA, HDMI. So we unplugged and restarted, no change.
2) Checked monitor and DVI & VGA cords with another computer: They all work.
3) Installed new Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEForce GT 610. Still got same 'no signal' message.
4) We plugged/unplugged all other cards/cords/anything we could and cleaned out. Then, finally, the monitor turned on! But not for long....
5) After restarting computer after installation of graphics card driver, we got the 'no signal' message again. We once again, pulled out other cards/plugs and again the monitor/computer came to life.
6) We unistalled the integrated ATI graphic card. When we go to Display, Advanced Options, it lists our new NVIDIA as graphic/display card.
7) We turned computer off overnight and this morning when we turned on, we once agin got the 'no signal' message. We unplugged/plugged computer in several times. Also tried the trick with pulling out cards/plugs and we got nothing. No Signal. After doing this several times (about 10), it finally worked again.
8) We changed sleep settings to: Screensaver=Never; Sleep Mode=Never.
9) We restarted again to once again get no signal message.
So...what do we need to do?
Thanks so much!

Hi,
No, you can't upgrade the graphics chip as it's a shared Intel graphics. You couldn't also upgrade a dedicated graphics like nVidia or ATI ones as it is soldered to the motherboard. The only way how to upgrade a graphics chip on a laptop like this is to replace the motherboard by a compatible one with a more powerful chip on it.

Power Mac G5 crashes after installing new Graphics Card

Hello, this is my first post and if anyone can offer any help with my problem I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry for the long description, but I want to get all of the facts out.
Its a bit convoluted, but here goes...
I was having a problem with one of my G5 computers and I thought at first that the problem was the graphics card. So I bought an ATI Radeon 9600XT card on eBay. Before that card arrived, I determined that the problem with the computer was a faulty firewire card, I replaced that and this computer now runs fine.
After the Radeon card was delivered, I put it in another G5 (1.6 processor) being that it was an upgrade from the nVidia GeForce FX 5200 that was already in the computer. After about a week, this computer crashed and crashed repeatedly. So I switched the card back to the original nVidia GeForce FX 5200, but it still kept crashing.
I then initialized the drive and reinstalled 10.4. This did not solve the problem, the computer keeps crashing with the screen that says "this computer needs to restart..." same as before. I then swapped this nVidia GeForce FX 5200 card with another identical nVidia card that I have from a 3rd G5. This not only did not stop the crashes, but caused this third G5 to crash.
When I start the G5 1.6 up in safe boot, the computer does not crash and will run stable.
I really would appreciate any advice.

Ok I ran AHT on both machines and everything passed on both. The G5 #1 (1.6) restarted and ran ok (in and out of sleep mode) overnight. When I shut down, the screen went dark and all seemed well, but the computer never actually "shut off".
Anyway I thought that if I could pull the panic logs from each machine that it may be helpful for someone to diagnose just exactly what is going on. So here are the panic logs for each G5.

Can I install a graphics card on Satellite M70?

I have got a Toshiba Satellite M70-394 (psm70e). I have seen that I have a pcie slot in my system through a hardware identifier program. Is it possible that I can install a graphics card through the back if I unscrew the back or get a professional to do it?

Hi!
> an express card slot.
Do you know what an express card slot is?
I think you are mixing something
The express card slot is designed for express cards. Its similar to PCMCIA cards.
You will not find a graphic card that is designed for the express card slot. For these slot you can buy USB extension cards for example.
Check your user manual!!!
There you will find more details about this slot.

Satellite L350-159 - Can I install a graphics card?

Hello everyone, I got a friend to check what graphics card I had the other day, as I play games and noticed that the graphics weren't fantastic. He checked it out and then told me I actually haven't got a proper graphics card!
I'd love to remedy this, but is there any way to get into the laptop to install a graphics card? and if so, what kind of graphics card would you recommend? some are rather big, and i'm not sure they could fit. I noticed some panels on the bottom of my laptop that can be screwed off - do one of those lead to a place to put a graphics card?
Thank for the help,
Michael

Hello
The graphic card cant be exchanged because its soldered on the mainboard. So thats not possible to exchange it.

As Akuma said the point is that the Satellite L series is not designed for gaming. I have a Satellite L300 and a Qosmio X300. The Satellite L is really great for my work, picture editing, E-Mails and office. The X300 is really perfect for games Its fast enough for all games I have.
