IMac 27" 2011 with Dead Graphic Card AMD Radeon HD 6970M

Hello
I'm from Thailand and my iMac 27" mid-2011 model is malfunctioning. I have windows 7 installed and I can use it only on safemode or when I disable the graphic card AMD Radeon HD 6970M. Updating the driver won't help at all.
I talked to the local iservice and he says it will cost me $570 just to replace this card. I find it very expensive.
Now I have learned that there is this replacement program http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5167 for the graphic card issue. I'd like to know if I am part of this. I'm not sure if I'm under any service coverage since it's been after many years of purchase.

You should be covered - usually replacement programs last for 3 years from the latest date of consumer purchase (when apple discontinues the model). This is typical, but by no means concrete as I have nothing to do with Apple or its replacement policies. Your model also meets those specifications. Since the replacement program is stated as wordwide, it should also be applicable in your country.

    THank you very much, I I have a ton of Adobe programs on my mac and i think a Cuda driver update was installed with it, it just popped up the other day in my system settings and is asking to upgrade my graphics card, but i don't have the same card as this update... so i thought i would double check! thank you again.

    Hi @Fodi 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Ok, I understand  that you are trying to install drivers for your graphics adapter and the one built in to your cpu.
    In reality you do not need to install the separate drivers. It is covered by the main driver for your graphics adapter when there is both an integrated and discrete gpu.
    As to the Error 43 -  please see this page: Expand Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
    Since you have tried several times you may need to remove both drivers and restart the system and let the os find the built-in graphics, before installing the driver for the AMD device.
    All the various drivers for this notebook that have been HP customized can be found here:

  • Can i use a iMac from 2008 with broken graphic card as extra monitor

    Can i use My Old iMac as a extra monitor.  My Old iMac from early 2008 has a broken graphic card nvidia 8800 gs. When I start it up I hear the bong and see the symbol spinning then the screen goes black from right to left the computer is running but I can't use it. I assume it's the graphic card. Can I use this iMac as an extra monitor to my other iMac.?

    No sorry.

  • Connect to MBPro with dead graphics card

    Just returned form holiday where I have been using my MacBook Pro (2007) running Mavericks. When I tried to boot the MBP this morning it has a black screen. Tried everything including external monitor, resetting PRAM VRAM et al. Have concluded the graphics card is shot.
    I can get to the files across the network but I need to run Thunderbird (my mail client) to access some of the sent emails I generated while away.
    Have tried to get in using screen sharing but have not set up the necessary permissions on the MBP so it's locking me out. Is there another way in?

    Just because you see a black screen doesn't necessarily mean it's the grahics card.
    See if you can use OS X Recovery.
    The startup disk may need repairing ...
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

  • I can't update my Graphic Card AMD Radeon HD 7670M

    Hi Guys ,
    i'm new Here ,i have Hp Pavilion G6 2332se ,it has AMD Radeon HD 7670M ,i tried to update it but it makes intel hd graphics 4000 not defined ,and this is the result when i update the card

    Hi @AhmedZizo 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you are having trouble after trying to update your video driver for the AMD Radeon 7670M. I am happy to assist you with this. Firstly can you verify the full product number for your notebook, for some reason I did not see that version on the list when I looked for it. Also the operating system in use would be helpful. Please read the following documents if you need help in finding those.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    Once I have that I can find the correct driver page for you.
    You can check out this page as an FYI.
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Another choice would be to try to either reload your old drivers from the recovery partition, or try a system restore in the hopes that  may be all that is necessary. If you  use the System Recovery option just be sure you are only choosing to reload drivers. A full recovery would reimage your hard drive. Just in case you may wish to back up any data on your notebook first.

  • Issues with CS5 Liquify in my iMac with a AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB Graphics Card

    I have been trying to get to the bottom of this issue on my own, but to no avail.  I am running Photoshop CS5.1 Extended on an iMac with an i7, 16 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB graphic card.  I am running OSX Lion.  Speed of the computer should NOT be an issue, but my liquify tool is impossibly slow.  I have seen others having this issue, but am not finding resolutions.  I have updated all of my software (Lion, CS5) and updated my drivers.  I have uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it, but still, no help.
    My Liquify tool is so slow that it is impossible to use.  It does not register if I release the mouse either and I often have to click a few times to release the brush.  I have Photoshop 5.1 on a PC and the Liquify runs very smoothly.
    Has this issue been addressed?  I am wondering if it has a root in how CS5 is reacting to the graphics card?  When I called Adobe, they swore it was Apple's fault.  When I talked to Apple, they were positive the blame lay with Adobe.  I just want a fix.  (Hey, I'll take a CS6 beta if that'll fix it.  )
    Thank you,
    Rachel

    Do you have any third party plugins installed?  If so, have you tried disabling them?  (one was showng to cause a slowdown, but I don't have my office notes handy at the moment to remember which one)
    Also, there was one obscure third party utiliity program (haxie) that also caused slowdowns in Liquify. (and again, my notes are at the office, so I don't recall the name)
    And you can try the usual: trash/reset Photoshop's preferences.
    Oh, and Lion still has a bunch of video driver bugs that Apple is continuing to work on.
    Sorry I don't have more definite info right now.

  • I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

    I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
    After five days of testing in the service they can not  found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
    New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
    Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

    You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card.  But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
    What program are you trying to run?  Is there anything in the system log? 
    I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

  • Windows 7 can't recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card

    Hey community -
    I am having issues running Star Wars the Old Republic on my brand new iMac desktop with Windows 7 installed. I am getting an error message that is associated with the fact that WINDOWS 7 will NOT recognize my AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB graphics card. Under the displays/drivers it's showing up as standard VGA graphics, which won't cut it.
    I was recently having an issue missing drivers for my network card, which I fixed by going back through bootcamp and using a startup disk with all the drivers I needed.
    HOW do I get Windows 7 to pickup/detect my Radeon? Help!
    -Monty

    You can install the AMD HD RADION Mobile drivers which work from.
    If your Graphics card number ends in M
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx#2
    This also depends on if you installed 32bit windows or 64 bit. you will need the 32bit drivers if installed 32 bit windows.
    Download the full package under individual downloads.
    But before you install the amd drivers you may  need to install the boot camp drivers again, which include the motherboard drivers, sound, usb, etc etc etc.

  • Aperture with iMac i7 3.4 AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5

    I am looking to upgrade to the new iMac i7 3.4 (spring 2011).
    Currently I am running Aperture 3 via a MacBook Pro 2.66 (NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 Ram) along with 8GB DDR3 Ram.
    Just wondering if anyone has purchased the new 27" iMac i7 3.4 with AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5 and 16GB DDR3 of Ram?
    If so do you see the performance of Aperture 3 running better?
    I know that Aperture runs better with more GPU, so I would assume the performance would be better?
    Thanks,
    Stu

    That box will rock Aperture if you order it with an SSD. IMO using hard drives for boot drives is obsolete.
    In my case Aperture (3.1.2) on the 2011 17" MBP (OS 10.6.7, 8 GB RAM, HD 6750M; a weaker box than the iMac you suggest) with Apple's SSD imports 3 GB of RAW+JPEG images in much less than a minute and has those images fully processed in about 5 minutes. IMO hella fast. And edits (with both the Aperture Library and referenced Masters on the SSD) are essentially instant.
    Only problems with the better Thunderbolt iMacs are:
    • Glossy-only display that not everyone can tolerate.
    • Hard drives are only upgradable by Apple, a sucky new trick in Apple's bag.
    But as far as Aperture performance goes all the top end Thunderbolt boxes will be spectacular. I cannot say enough good things about Aperture performance on SSD setups; IMO no Aperture user should buy a box without SSD.

  • !!! Problem with 2nd graphic card !!!

    Hi I have a big problem with my laptop.
    I have an HP TouchSmart tm2-2000el Notebook, with Windows 7 64-bit.
    2nd Graphic card is ATI RADEON HD Series 5450.
    When I activate this hardware from Control Panel desktop goes black but every function are ok (sounds, illumination and all cmds).
    So I must restart my computer in Safe Mode disactivate ATI Radeon HD 5450 and restart it.
    Laptop run but only with Intel graphic card.
    I tried to search update drivers on Amd/ATI site: amd online software reveals Ati radeon HD 5000 Series but after download Ati software tell me that is impossible to install drivers because there isn't an ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series.
    So I have low graphics and CPU with 69°C because intel graphic card runs over...
    I haven't found any driver for my model of laptop on HP Assistance.
    Touchsmart spec
    How can I do now?
    Thanks
    Alberto

    This is the right driver for switchable graphics...do not also install the Intel only driver, you do not need both.

  • Installing a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card on a MSI H61M-P31 G3

    Hi,
    I have a MSI H61M-P31 (G3) motherboard in my PC and I recently purchased a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card. Before purchasing as far as I could tell the graphics card was compatible with the motherboard. However, what seems to be a similar issue with a lot of people installing new graphics cards is that when I put it in my PC and boot it up the monitor doesn't recieve any signal from it and stays blank. I have installed the drivers, including the optional ones, and they don't compete with my old graphics card drivers because they are the same AMD Catalyst Control Centre. I have trawled the internet and tried numerous things but nothing has worked. Is there a fix or are the componenets just not compatible?
    Thanks in advance.
