Latest graphics driver

I have an Acer Aspire X3995. I have some problems which are Windows related, but when I ran a diagnostic tool, it said that my graphics driver may be out of date. On the drivers page all drivers are from 2012, and the listed Nvidia driver "9.18.13.529" is already installed on my computer. Does that mean that I have the latest driver? On Nvidia's page there is a "game ready driver" for my card, but it seems to be a special thing for game compatibility.Can I count on Acer "Drivers and Manuals" page that it lists the latest drivers there? In that case my driver doesn't need an update.

You can download from the nvidia download center, the drivers will be the latest, don't worry about "games ready driver" label. if you will have any trouble updating with nvidia drivers, first uninstall the old nvidia drivers and then install the new one.

Its Latest graphics driver

Can I get its latest Intel (R) HD 3000 and Radeon (TM) HD 6630M graphics driver? cos Intel latest driver for HD 3000 with driver date: 1/30/2015 and driver version: 9.17.10.4101 is available. But couldn't find it for the amd switchable graphics which the old one contain the driver for Intel HD 3000 with driver date: 8/15/2012 and driver version: 9.0.0.0. And its Radeon HD 6630M has the same date and version number. Is there a latest driver for it? I need the link. Thanks.

Hi @elmakdroid
I grasp that you are looking to upgrade the drivers on your switchable graphics and were unable to locate one.
I noticed when I checked the software and driver page for your notebook and I noticed that Windows 8.1 is not a supported Operating System for your notebook. That is not to say it does not work only that HP has not tested it on your model and and therefore has not provided drivers for it.
Are you having an issue with your graphics?
As installing individual updated drivers usually causes the switchable graphic to no longer function correctly I would not make changes to them.

Qosmio G10-133: I am having random lockups - Graphic driver issue

Hi
my machine screen goes blank at random and i get the below error message which suggests i need finally the latest graphic driver. Uninstall the Nividea driver from my machine which appeared to fix the problem but my graphics were reduced. I then reinstalled from the Toshiba site the graphic driver and i have the same problem.
Please can you help?
Error caused by NVIDIA Graphics Driver: no specific solution found.
Thank you for submitting an error report.
Problem description:
An unknown error occurred in NVIDIA Graphics Driver, created by NVIDIA Corporation.
Recommendations:
NVIDIA Corporation is currently not aware of a specific solution for the problem that you reported. Below is a list of recommendations to take that may help prevent the problem from recurring.
1. Download and install an updated NVIDIA Graphics Driver from one of the following locations:
Microsoft Update
NVIDIA Corporation
2. If an updated driver is not available, check with your computer manufacturer.
3. If you are running the latest version of NVIDIA Graphics Driver, please contact NVIDIA Corporation for your support options.
Additional information:
If this problem continues to occur with the latest product updates for NVIDIA Graphics Driver we highly recommend you obtain assistance and troubleshooting information directly from NVIDIA Corporation.
If you are not familiar with NVIDIA Graphics Driver and you are questioning how the program was installed on your computer, it is possible that the program was installed with another program. If you do not know why NVIDIA Graphics Driver is running, many programs configure themselves to start automatically every time you turn on your computer.

Hi
I agree with previous comment. We don?t know what did you done with your unit and why the display driver makes problems now. The fact is that you should use the display driver designed by notebook manufacturer and not from graphic card producer.
How to say now what you can do? Advice given by NVIDIA is correct. Try to start the unit in safe mode using F8 key at the start up. From device manager remove listed graphic device or even graphic driver software listed under software in control panel (if you can find something there). Restart the unit and when WXP is loaded try to install Toshiba designed driver again.

Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

I have been having problems with my screen for several months now: every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels. I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed. It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal. I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot. This does not work. I have also tried installing the original graphics driver. This does not work either.
If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error:
Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078) The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing. I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a resolution?
I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007. The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
Thanks for your help.

For the IQ700 series
If you're running Windows Vista SP2, there is a patch for USB patch for NVIDIA chipsets
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975163/
If you're running Windows 7, install this patch
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Driver-update-for-Win7-USB-issue-on-nVidia-chipse...
And only use the driver from the system manufacturer's website or Windows Update. Do not use the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website for the IQ700 series

Graphic driver installation problems - Qosmio G20 PQG21

Attempting to install latest graphic driver (available on the toshiba u.k. site) produces an error message that file NV4_mini.sy is unreadable, although it is clearly there. Any ideas?
I've tried downloading several times and unzipping into various locations. Incidentally, do toshiba have any technical support at all, or is it left to their customers to provide it for each other for free - they don't seem to have any method of contact on their site?

Thanks for your suggestions, which I will try. In answer to your questions. The driver is the correct one according to Tosiba and the model ID is clearly marked on the underside of the laptop.
The problem appears to revolve around the installer's inability to recognise a required file although there is a file of the correct name in the download. It would be nice if Toshiba addressed thid issue - wouldn't it? I am aware of the installation procedure for .zip file downloads - the problem is not in this area.

Can't install Intel graphics driver on W530

When I try to install Intel's latest graphics driver (so I can run OpenCL apps) it fails with "Operating system not supported". This is on Win7 64-bit, and the drivers are for that OS.
Moderator Note; subject edited on this & further posts; W580 -> W530

davea wrote:
Oops! I meant to type W530, not W580.
So, it looks like I need to uninstall the existing graphics drivers, through the Windows device manager, then install the Intel driver. Is there any danger in doing this? What if my display stops working? Thanks for the help! -- David
I would recommend to uninstall using the add/remove programs and using device manager. Uninstall the driver from device manager will most likely remove just the driver and not the rest. You should find the add/remove programs in the control panel.
I cannot say for sure this will solve the problem, but i had no problems using the drivers from Intel in the past as long as i do not have the driver from Lenovo installed already. So it might be worth a try. There should not be any danger doing so, but of course when you work with a computer anything can happen.

Update graphic driver

On Mac Mini, how do I make sure I have the latest Graphics Driver? My GoPro Studio 2 software won't render movies anymore. Go Pro says to make sure have latest graphic Driver. (Used to)
I have Mac Mini Mid 2010
2.4GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB Graphics Driver
OS X 10.7.5

You can't really. Unless they want to bother upgrading their software to include your graphics chip, you are basically out of luck. You could always ask for the older version that worked well if you don't have a backup of it, and install the operating system that it worked previously on.
http://www.roaringapps.com/ may help you find alternative software that works on newer operating systems that does what you need.

Trouble with graphics driver

The driver in question is the Intel(R) HD Graphics family one (according to the Device Manager)
So what's been happening is I've been playing a Java based browser game. Occasionally the display will flicker with the message "Display driver stopped working and has recovered." Other times, instead of a simple flicker, the whole thing will stop working and the page must be restarted.
I tried searching the internet and trying out solutions with the game itself (it has 2 different display settings, OpenGL and DirectX. The problem appears on both). I was told it was almost certainly a problem with the driver.
I searched around the Intel website and according to some stuff I found, I have to find out what's going on with the computer itself as the drivers get altered by the manufacturers.
Here's some technical info:
Lenovo Thinkpad t440s
Windows 8.1
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1.600GHz 2.30GHz
6GB RAM (5.69 Usable)
64-bit OS
A note: It only occurs on that one game, though I only really use low-intensity Java applications, so there may be other situations it could occur.
If anyone can offer any solutions, I'd appreciate it. It gets annoying.

Hi Arot6,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
Have you checked with latest graphic driver which was released last month only?
Uninstall the current version restart the system and download the latest version from the below link and run the installation file.

Hope this helps.

Surface Pro 3 Display/Video/Graphics Driver Issues - DisplayPort, External Monitors, Windows 10 Build 9926

Surface Pro 3 - i5 with Intel HD Graphics 4400
Windows 10 build 9926
All Latest updates installed
Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4079.
Latest system update released on Jan 22nd (which I understand is just the latest intel graphics driver?).
The display driver status has this error message: Windows has stopped this device because it
has reported problems. (Code 43) - I assume it's
reverting to the basic Microsoft driver when this occurs. Which explains why my displayport (External monitors) will not work.
I have uninstalled the driver completely (and deleted the driver files), tried the Windows basic driver,
and rebooted several times with no luck.
I cannot get my docking station displayport or the displayporton my surface pro 3 working.
According to Microsoft (see below), this is a known issue UNTIL you update to display driver
version 4079 - which I have.
Known issues on Surface after updating to Windows 10 January Technical Preview
On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, the Mini DisplayPort won’t work on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or later. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
On Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3, you’ll notice poor graphics rendering on the Windows 10 January Technical Preview until you’ve installed graphics driver 4079 or newer from Windows Update. Check Windows Update often for the most recent graphics driver.
If you’re using video driver 3496, you may need to start in safe mode and remove that driver. Then restart Surface in normal mode and go to Windows Update to get the most recent graphics driver.

Hi Nicholas,
Similar issue has been asked here:
Surface Pro 3 restarting after a series of blank screens!
For error code 43, here is a reference:
Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
For the current situation, please try to wait for the driver update, as display driver version 4079 didn't work well at your side, please submit this through Windows Feedback Tool.

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23714&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207...
i contacted intel and they said to try doing a manual install which didnt work, then they said to update lenovo drivers (which i did). and so far nothings working~any ideas?

Install the latest driver that you linked to at the Intel site. Then open Device Manager and find "Display adapters" under this their should be "Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000". Right click "Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000" and choose "Properties" a new window will open up. Select the "Driver" tab and check the "Driver Version". The Driver Version should be 10.18.10.3496 the latest as of 4/22/2014. The driver package actually has 2 different version numbers (1) the package version, in this case 15.33.18.64.3496 and (2) the actual driver version, in this case 10.18.10.3496.

Yoga 13 Graphics driver problem -BSOD

I am having a problem getting this frequent "graphic driver stopped responding..." message and a "video_scheduler.." BSOD after that. Something like this:
Steps I did:
Did OKR. Clean driver. Lenovo driver. Windows update intel Driver. Latest Intel HD 4000 from their site. The BIOS version is upto date but I reinstalled again.NO luck. .I tried both Win 8 and 8.1 here. .. I tried all these possibilities..
Did clean windows install from a non-lenovo windows 8 image. Wiped SSD. Windows was fresh, clean and no bloatware. No Luck. Updatet to 8.1 .. did all possibilities again.. no luck.
I called Lenovo Tech. They remote to the laptop and what he did is uninstall all graphics driver and use windows generic driver. He stopped auto windows update (since windows updates the driver). There's no error, but the laptop performance is horribly slow. Scrolling long PDF and websites is wavy and the HDMI port is useless.
Lenovos solution is unacceptable. The laptop is bassically useless.
Are you guys experiencing the same thing too? Do you guys know a solution. I really like the laptop but it is unusable.
BTW, I bought this laptop ~3 weeks as scratch and dent at their lenovo website. I wonder if there is a hardware problem for this.
Also, the wifi sucks.. sigh

Unstable Intel(R) HD Graphics driver file

Blue screen crashes caused by unstable driver file.
(igdpmd64.sys) in Screen Display drivers.
Caused multible crashes, until I disabled Intel(R) HD Graphics Family.
Now Windows wants to keep shutting down the other graphics driver (which is a low resolution driver) and reinstalling the faulty one. Driver updates show I have the latest. But It crashes as soon as its reloaded.
How can I get a new HD Display driver and load it as a replacement?
Ciao

Hi @Daldraft ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue with crashing or the Blue screen on your HP Notebook. I found that if you try to remove the Microsoft update KB2670838. This could be causing the error.
But, I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please respond with which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Please let me know.

Cannot update Graphics Driver

I have an HP Envy 4 1030-us. Intel Graphics HD 4000. I have even gone to Intel's forums for help.
1) If I try to install the updated graphics driver - fails
2) Uninstall old graphics driver, per Intel forum advice, restart computer, on restart old driver installs automatically.
3) Uninstall old graphics driver, try to install updated driver, fails, restart, on restart old driver installs uatomatically.
Please don't suggest I have the wrong driver. Any other suggestions warmly welcomed.

Hi @DavidENJ ,
Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you.
I understand that you are unable to install the updated driver for the Intel Graphics HD 4000. Intel advised you to uninstall the driver and then restart before installing the new driver but you were unsuccessful.
I would try deleting the driver not uninstalling. Once deleted it cannot reinstall it as it is no longer there.
The latest supported driver for Windows 7 and your notebook is sp58046.exe version 8.15.10.2712.
If you are trying to install a driver from the Intel website, it may or may not work correctly. Downloading or Updating Software and Drivers for HP Computers.
If you are still having an issue with installing the driver, try installing it in safe mode with networking. Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
I hope this helps.

Will there ever be an updated Switchable Graphics driver for W500 (Vista)?

Well the current driver is quite old and I failed in modding the current Switchable Graphics driver to include new drivers.
So, will there ever be an update for Switchable Graphics in Vista for the W500?

I don't think there will be for Vista; it doesn't support heterogeneous adapters, and the Vista package uses an AMD proprietary driver wrapper which I doubt will see further update.
For us on Windows 7, we're able to apply the latest Catalyst drivers with good results. (11.4 is FAST.)
