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 card problems after last flash player update

Hi,
since the last Adobe Flash Player my computer repeatedly either reboots itself, turns the screen black or crashes completely, giving a blue screen error message saying there is a problem with the ati2dvag.dll graphics driver, causing the graphic card to be in an infinite loop. Neither updating the graphics drivers nor deactivating the hardware acceleration solves the problem. Since we have the same problem on a second computer with identical hardware, I suppose it must be a software problem.
I´m using a Intel Core2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2,66 GHz with 2 GB RAM. The graphic card is a ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro. Operating system is Windows XP SP3
Is this a familiar problem and can anybody suggest any solution?
Thx

Hi, I found the file but I'm still not sure what really happend.
First I followed a brodys advices (thanks!). Different was, that the flash player download looked really like the original from Adobe. It simply appeared as an update request as som many others as well. What I want to say is that I didn't go to a web site and downloaded it. In fact I think it was the original and everything was a coincidence.
The Mac OS version I run on the MacBook is 10.7.4! Nevertheless I installed the flashback trojan patch. But nothing happend.
With the remaining 300 Mb of diskspace I could operate at least a little.
There are three users on this macbook.
I logged in each of the user and found that in my daugther uses 160 GB. I found a file MOV_6007.AVI with a size of 148GB sitting in the recovered picture structure of the iphoto library.
My daugther told me that she was downloading movies from a dropbox folder and then she imported them into iphoto. She did it using the finder, selecting them and dropped them onto the iphoto icon in the dock.
Whatever happend later I have no idea. The Macbook was running during the night. The next morning I used it to read news and at this time I accepted the adobe flash upgrade.
In the system log files I found an entry that showed I had about 8GB of disk space free at this time. It should have been about 160GB. So somehow this file grew already that much during the night.
And it obviously grew further until I got the disk full message minutes later.
It is scary! So what I did now is delete the file and it seems the Macbook is ok again.
I wanted to tell this long story as it is probably something new and somebody else had a similar issue already.

Hp pavillion 500-185el graphic card problems after update to windows 8.1

hallo
after i done the Windows 8.1 update my graphic card is giving me some problem.
occasionally my desktop become black for 1-2 seconds and the background disappears.
I've update all drivers.
the problems started after the update to Windows 8.1
graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 8570
driver version: 13.150.102.0
thanks for support

Hey @jdudleyjones ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the card reader for your notebook is no longer working after updating to Windows 8.1.
You're probably right that it's a driver issue, however just like you I don't know which card reader you're using either.
Can you please tell me which notebook you have? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
It would also help if you could tell me the Hardware ID for the card reader. Here's how you find it:
Press Windows Key + X
Click Device Manager
Click View at the top and select Show hidden devices.
You will most likely find the card reader listed under Other devices as an Unknown device.
Right click on it and select Properties.
Select the Details tab.
Change the drop down menu to Hardware Ids.
Note down the first ID in the list (as you'll see they're all pretty much the same regarding the Ven_ and Dev_ numbers which is all I need).
Once you've provided this info I should be able to find the drivers for you.
Look forward to hearing back from you!

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.

"You may not be eligible" - anyone still having problems?

Is anyone still having the problem when trying to apply for the $100 credit?
Are you getting the "You may not be eligible" page, even though you know you are?
Have you heard back from iPhone support or [email protected]?
I haven't, I also havne't heard back from the manager from the 5th ave Apple Store. I just want to know what is going on and whether or not anyone else is still having problems or if anyone else has found a REAL solution?
PLEASE DO NOT START BLASTING THIS POST, I WOULD LIIKE TO FIND A SOLUTION WITHOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING AND GETTING THIS POST REMOVED.
THANKS,
Gabe

I was able to get my credit this weekend after being told I was initially ineligible.
Turns out, as I assumed, someone entered in the wrong iPhone serial number for my device at AT&T so Apple never got the correct number.
So, here's what I did to fix it.
I had emailed [email protected] but I also called AT&T and got transferred to the iPhone AppleCare folks. I explained to them that I had never returned my phone, never got a replacement, and that I couldn't have a replacement phone because the IMEI number on my AT&T receipt (there was no iPhone serial number on my receipt, just the IMEI) and the IMEI on the back of my iPhone match. This is the number AT&T uses to validate my iPhone is a working device on their network.
Anyway, after explaining this to the AppleCare folks, I was placed on hold for a good 15 minutes. When she returned she gave me a case number and told me to call Apple Customer Relations during business hours. However, about 2 hours later my credit worked on the web site. About 6 hours later I received an email from [email protected] that they fixed the data problem and I could get my credit. But by that time I'd already spent it =)
So, the best thing for you to do is call AppleCare. If you don't get the resolution you're looking for, call back. I had to call a total of 5 times before getting a case number and before I got my credit.
Good luck!

How does having 2 Graphics Cards in a Mac pro help if it doesnt have something like Crossfire??

Hi,
I am thinking of buying a Mac pro for visual effects & graphics work.
My question is quite simple, what are the benifits of having to graphic cards in a Mac Pro,
For instance, i am thinking of putting in a Quadro 4000 with a 5870 in my mac pro.
now is it possible for me to set say the ATI 5870 for powering my display and my Quadro 4000 for graphic processing tasks such as rendering stuff, and so on and so forth.
Any thouights will be great.
Cheers.
Ani

You need to find a way to add 3rd aux power connector.
Mac Pro only comes with a mere 2 6-pin connectors, not a lot of power.
Apple has had multiple problems with Nvidia drivers, with support, with say using two 4000s together, which sounds nice and makes more sense (and especially if one wants to run Windows at all where mixing ATI and Nvidia use to be against all the rules, now it seems like it is an Apple issue).
Yes, there can be processing improvements, Adobe Mercury Engine for one, CUDA still has advantage over ATI-Apple OpenCL.

Graphic Card Problems

I have recently built a new system with the specs below.
I have been having a problem with the graphics card for this system. Initially I installed an "Inno3D GT220 1GB DDR2 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card" which after about a week started displaying a fault. (firstly graphical corruption which led onto BSOD.) I RMA'd it and got a identical replacement but this also started to go with a fault, (virtually the same problem.) I have now received another replacement though this time a "PNY GT 220 1GB DDR2 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card". Although this card is not showing any serious fault yet I am getting some graphical corruption.
To test the system I placed my 'old' PCIe 256MB 7300gt card into the Mobo and do not seem to have any problems.
My question is this:
Is there possibly some sort of conflict with the GT220 chipset and this Mobo? The 7300GT has no conflict?
The BIOS settings are the default settings and no OC. Is there a BIOS setting(s) that I need to alter?
According to the tech guys at Inno3D there should be no issues with the card.
I find it extremely unlikely that three graphics cards from two different manufacturers can end up with similar problems. It seems that the culprit could be the mobo/cpu which according to MSI are compatible. When the problem first appeared I performed extensive CPU and memory tests which came back as 'pass' so I do not think it is a performance problem.

Hi all.
I have a new motherboard (BIOS v1.5) now but I am still getting the corruption. This motherboard is allowing me to unlock the extra cores in my processor whereas the previous board wouldn't, even with the BIOS upgrade to V1.4. (possible sign that it wasn't working right.)
MSI have asked me to install V1.62 Bios. What do you think?
Graphics card working fine with Afterburner, although no alterations to the settings.

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?

Discrete graphics card performance drop after overheating

Recently I played Amnesia: The Dark Descent on my pc while overclocking slightly using Sapphire TRIXX. I changed GPU clock from 750 to 84x and memory clock from 900 to 10xx. During a cinematic the com crashed, ctrl at del failed to load up but sound was still coming out. I left it like this for2-5 min before force shutdown. When I turned on my laptop again n tried to play games there was a huge performance drop. Games running at 60 fps turned to 20 plus when using dedicated graphics card only ( I disabled dynamic mode n used fixed mode while playing amnesia also, which means I was purely using the dedicated graphics card.)
My laptop is a hp dm4 3005tx Beats edition, with Intel I5 2.5GHz processor and 8.00 gig ram. I also disabled paging file on my laptop btw, regretting this .
can some1 tell me hw to fix.this problem or can I replace my discrete graphics card? Because my laptop has Radeon hd 7470m and Intel hd graphics

The graphics card is soldered on so no replacement. I would do a wipe and reload of the OS and stop overclocking laptop video cards. They are too sensitive to heat and other issues. You are asking for trouble, and may have already found it. At a minimum run DriverCleaner and remove the video driver until you get back to a low-res screen generic vga hardware and then reinstall the best driver you can find.

How to disable discrete graphics card on dv7?

My dv7 6000 CTO (XW899AV) has been having graphics card issues for quite a while now (frequent screen flashes followed by error notifications), but lately it's gotten a lot worse. Now I get a black screen after just a few minutes of use.
I'm nearly positive the problem lies with the discrete graphics card (ATI 6770M). I'd like to disable the discrete card and only use the integrated Intel HD 3000. Unfortunately the BIOS seems to hide the option to do this. I tried disabling the ATI card in the device manager, but when I rebooted the card was enabled again. Is there a way to disable the discrete card, even though HP seems hell bent on preventing me from doing so? If I can't, the laptop is basically a brick.

Hi zeblonite,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are looking to disable your discrete graphics card. As you have seen that isn't going to work as the notebook is designed to work with both graphics card. What are the error notifications are you getting? If you can give me that exact error message we might be able to fix the cause of the problem. What operating system are you using?

P7-1235, black screen after adding a discrete graphic card

Hello,
I tried to install a discrete graphic card to my P7-1235. The card is AMD 7950, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131478
The card was tested on another computer and could post without problems.
I upgraded the PSU to 600w. and plug both 6pin connectors to GPU. After I push the power button, the computer is running but the screen remains black, no video signal. I tried to connect the monitor to dvi on 7950 and integrated dvi but no luck. Anyone has any idea how to solve this?
Thanks so much!

Hello,
Issue might be related to Secure Boot in BIOS.
Put your original card into the system, and follow the steps on the document link below:

Computer freezes when switching to discrete Graphics Card.

Hi! I have a W530 with the K1000M graphics card, along with the Nvidea Optimus program. Whenever I run a program that uses my discrete graphics card, I get the error "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered." I've used my discrete graphics card before with no problems, although my computer has had two major changes since the last time I've used it (see notes below).
Solutions I've tried: Updating with the correct drivers through Windows Update (update failed), updating driver through Lenovo website (broke display), updating drivers through Nvidea website (driver installed, didn't fix problem). Nothing works, and the Lenovo driver basically disabled my display. It took me hours to fix just that-- for some reason, whenever I crash, my computer looks at drive X instead of C. Had to screw around for a while just to let me do a system restore.
I'm rather upset about the whole thing because I really like my laptop. Right now, I've just set Optimus to never use the discrete graphics card...
Thanks for reading!
*Note 1: I have some aftermarket parts: Crucial RAM and a mSATA SSD. I've had these parts in for over a year with no problems.
*Note 2: The motherboard in my laptop blew a transistor or something a few weeks ago. My university's computer shop replaced it under warranty.
*Note 2.1: I'm not sure if the new motherboard is causing the problems or Windows 8.1, or something else entirely. I haven't used my discrete graphics card since before both the 8.1 update and my motherboard being fixed.

This happened to me whenever I was trying to run 3dsMax Design 2013 in Optimus mode, everytime I attempted to open that program it would simply refuse and say the nvidia driver had just crashed.
It was solved with nvidia 305.93 I think (I currently run 331.82 which is the latest) look for the most up to date driver at the nvidia drivers download page.
That is really an nvidia driver related problem but you should also update your Intel video card driver too as previously suggested. (and if the program that is crashing is an Autodesk product be sure to be up to date too (with all the nuances that it implies), I'm currently running 3dsmax 13 PU6 and it works)
So what you need to do is to uninstall your nvidia driver completely, reboot, install the most up to date from nvidia. reboot, via windows update install the lates Intel video driver (if something appears) (don't install it from the intel web site). In device manager my intel driver appears to be 9.17.10.2843
(Maybe it didn't work the last time for you because maybe you didn't perform a clean installation)

How can I test my discrete graphics card in an MBP Retina?

How can I test the hardware on the discrete Nvidia grpahics card in my late 2012 MBP Retina?
I've had a *lot* of problems with it which I won't repeat here but the latest fun thing it's doing is crashing and requiring a hard reset any time *anything* attempts to access the discrete graphics card. This includes but is not limited to:
*Opening system profiler and clicking on Graphics (it displays a blank screen)
*Running a 3D graphics benchmark
*Running intensive mathematical calculations on the GPU
*Connecting to an external monitor with the thunderbolt port and using the computer for a short period of
None of these things actually work and after unsuccessfully attempting any of them the computer becomes very unstable shortly there after and usually crashes and requires hard reset. One time I got a crash report that said something about GPU panic.
Any recommendations? I get the sense that the apple hardware test is not doing a thoroough test of the GPU if at all.
Thanks.

If they add OSX support for this product and it comes in at a reasonable price point, it could be an attractive solution.

Also, there are products from other companies that allow connection to PCIe cards through thunderbolt. These two are geared more towards professional use (Audio/Video I/O cards).

Thinkpad Yoga 15, discrete graphics card disabled

I just purchased a Thinpad Yoga with a discrete graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 840M. It's disabled. I've tried the most recent driver from NVIDIA and the driver on Lenovo's site -- version 9.18.13.3360
Anyone have any idea about this?
Solved!

Hi Horseatingweeds,
As per the screen shot I think the drivers may have got corrupted, uninstall both the graphic drivers and run ThinkVantage System Update utility, and make sure whether the drivers are not updated from MS updates.
That seems a little old, so I looked around. There are later versions, up to 1.24 4/6/2015 for ThinkPad S1 Yoga: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds038334
Please do not update the BIOS manually, instead of that run ThinkVantage System Update utility to check for the exact drivers and application for your system.

Hope this helps.
