Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem - H430

Lenovo Drivers Insufficient  for update to 8.1 - Driver problem  (USB?) - H430
my lenovo H430 is about 6 months old - worked okay with preinstalled Windows 8
After update to Windows 8.1 computer no longer seemed to work well at all, although I am unable to provide hard evidence, but clearly it was not working as smoothly as in the previous 8 version with lots of irritating little problems - including sound.  
One thing that very clearly was not functioning as it had in 8 version was the USB disconnect icon. In 8 you only had to click on icon and the USB selection window would open immediately. Additionally all USB connections would be shown - back and front USB.  Select the USB to be disconnected and it would be disconnected immediately (providing not in use). After update to 8.1 this was no longer the case.
In 8.1 disconnect icon no longer worked as it had done in 8. After clicking on icon there was now always a lengthy pause, followed by the sound of the computer working (whirring sound) and then after a while the USB selection window would finally open. Sometimes it was necessary to click on icon a few times to get any reaction at all. A small MP3 player I had charged up on my computer every morning (front USB) in windows 8, was always in USB list, and disconnected without problem in 8. In 8.1 it was no longer in list and only charged sporadically  (would stop charging, but if I clicked on USB  icon it would start charging again - although still not shown in USB list).
After about two weeks of 8.1 my screen suddenly - but only briefly - went black twice. I ran a sfc /scannow. problems were found but could not be resolved. I did a  Dism /Online/Clean-Image/RestoreHealth  this was reported as being successful.  About two days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD - "critical-services-failure" - from which I was unable to get out of. The only option open was the Lenovo restore option. Computer was returned to factory state with los of all data.
back to Windows 8 the computer once again worked okay - no problems - and USB icon once again worked correctly (including with MP3 player).
About 2 weeks later after receiving MS messages to update to 8.1 I called Lenovo support and asked about update to drivers for 8.1.
the following list was given:
Chipset: Intel chipset Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version : 9.4.0.1022
Video: CPP2 AMD DISCRETE VGA CARD DRIVER for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 13.152
Audio: Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 6.0.1.7030
LAN: Realtek Lan Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 8.018.0621.2013
STORAGE: Intel RST Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop Version: 12.8.0.1016
I updated to 8.1 and then updated all the above drivers (no USB driver update was available).
The same problems as the last update to 8.1 and USB was as bad as it was in last 8.1
Some days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD once again - although this time did not stay stuck there, and quickly restarted - due to speed of restart I did not get time to read all the text and discover the cause of BSOD.
Computer is still running badly - particularly the USB icon disconnect.
Called Lenovo support but they have been no help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenovo are failing us with the 8.1 update and the  DRIVERS FOR 8.1
BSOD
all i could find was this: (probably refers to after BSOD - the restarting part after BSOD???)

I have now seen the suggestion by Tomaspoko and Brillow at http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series​/Windows-8-1-update-S440-ThinkPad-black-screen-wit​...
Despite the AMD driver giving an error during install at the last stage of the suggested fix, this has now yielded a working switchable graphics for my S540 for the first time with Windows 8.1.  Catalyst Control Center also works for the first time, so thank you to both the above-mentioned posters for a solution that does work.
Hopefully in time AMD will release a non-broken updated AMD driver and CCC package.
Thanks again for a nice solution from this forum - the problem was driving me nuts!

  • Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem....after firmware update

    I just bought a MBP w/Lion (10.7.4) and ran software update.  The first two items I updated were firmware for SMC (ver 1.5) and EFI (ver 2.7) and now my MBP says: "Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem."  However, I can connect to the Internet to surf the web just fine.  This is the only update I've made.  Can firmware be uninstalled?  If I reverted to the image on my external drive that I did with CCC prior to the update, would that fix it?

    Hi! i hope i'm able to explain what i worked out and what worked for me. I had the same message coming up "no internet connection, run network/internet diagnosis" etc etc. Internet connection was fine. What i finally did:
    Open airport, check internet, internet options ; with me, IPv6 was set as  this (the letters are in german order and not in a english order, sorry...):
    In system prefs, network/TCP/IP  IPv6 was set to "automatic":
    I did change the settings in Airport back to "Link Local" and Software Update worked immediately normal whithout restarting the computer.
    No idea what changed the settings; however i did run permission repairs beforehand with no connection to any problems, just as a normal kind of 'maintenance routine'.
    Hope this helps others, it worked for me.
    Cheers

  • "Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem" - help!

    Recently, when I perform a software update check on the pulldown Apple menu, I get this error:
    "Software update can't check for updates because of a network problem."
    The only problem is that my network works just fine. I use the internet and get emails without any problem. But I can't figure how I can fix Software Update.
    The only relevant updates have been for Glims and 1Password. Oh, and note the same problem trying to access the App Store; I just get a "Can't connect to the App Store" error.
    Any hints?

    I have to solve all my own problems.
    The problem was due to Little Snitch. Once I upgraded from 2.4.0 to 2.4.2, my system works swimmingly again.
    FIXED!

  • Lenovo T400 screen goes dark issue, some video driver problem

    Lenovo:
    Motherboard:
    CPU Type: Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
    Motherboard Chipset:  Intel Cantiga GM45
    System Memory: 1992 MB (DDR3 SDRAM)
    BIOS Type: Phoenix (08/19/08)
    Display:
    Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family 
    Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family 
    3D Accelerator: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 
    Problem/Issue:
    Driver problem appeard after upgrading from XP to Windows 7.
    From the Device Manager I saw that ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 was not working properly and
    a) I did the "update driver software." After restart the screen light was darker than usual. (This was usual if I was working from battery but I was plugged in this time. ) 
    As I'm not the best with computers I thought my drivers might be in conflict and to prevent serious damages, I just
    b) disabled ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 from device manager. 
    This actually resolved the dark screen problem.
    c) then I went to Lenovo support site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-72858
    downloaded newest drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 (Switchable Graphics Driver)
    and Intel 4500MHD (Intel GM45 Express Chip)
    For some reason while installine the: Intel GM45 Display Driver (version 8.15.10.2302) gives me error:
    "This Computer Does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
    Also some problem appeard when installing the new downloaded version:
    ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver  (version 8.792.5-110424b-119200C)
    d) so I went back to device manager and made an update to ATI Mobility Radeon  from there. 
    Well, I got it working, but the screen went dark again. When I disable the driver it goes back to normal
    brightness and when I enable it again, it stays normal.
    I'll try to restart and see what happens

    We had the excat same issue.
    I could get the picuture back pressing the power button until it went to sleep and then wake it up again.
    After the I went to device manager to delete all display drivers both Intel and ATI and then reboot.
    doing the reboot windows found some drivers it could use.
    I then installed the switchable driver from lenovo.
    Now windows device manger report two display drivers:
    1)
    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
    2)
    Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Version, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
    So it seams the switchable ATI driver take over the Intel card and the Intel driver is not needed.
    At least the problem is solved for us.

  • I can't check for updates because of a "network problem"

    when i try to access software updates, i get the aforementioned message, however, when i run the network diagnostic i get "your internet connection appears to be working correctly. i recently had major issues w/my mac and had to have the hard drive reinstalled. i'm running version 10.6.8.
    thanks for looking.

    Not sure any of these will work, but did you try restarting your iMac?  Re-setting the PRAM?  Running Disk Utility and repairing disk permissions for your startup volume?
    Has this only happened once or twice in the past hour, of over the course of a whole day?  If only happened in the last hour, maybe the other end of the network is having a problem at the moment, and try to run updates again in an hour or two.
    Good luck.

  • HP Photosmart Plus 209a-m install for Windows 8 not working, driver problem?

    I am trying to install the driver/software for HP Photosmart Plus 209a-m on my Windows 8 laptop and keep getting "the Wizard has detected a problem with the driver software for the selected printer".  Seems like a catch-22 because that's why i'm trying to install it.  I have a brand new hard drive (as of today) with nothing else on it except Norton, which i just installed.  I shouldn't have corrupted drivers yet.  if it's missing, why can't HP get it installed?  I've downloaded hppiw and trying to install that.  after i get the "problem with the driver" message, i select the option to install the full suite + driver, and it attempts another download (why is it doing that when i already downloaded the software?), then fails with "Your download was cancelled.  You can attempt the download again by clicking Retry".  Anybody know how to get me out of this loop and get the software installed?

    hi,
    sometimes norton does block the installation or the drivers download...
    i would suggest you to turn of norton and complete the installation and then turn it back on..

  • Is there a way to BULK COLLECT with FOR UPDATE and not lock ALL the rows?

    Currently, we fetch a cursor on a few million rows using BULK COLLECT.
    In a FORALL loop, we update the rows.
    What is happening now, is that we run this procedure at the same time, and there is another session running a MERGE statement on the same table, and a DEADLOCK is created between them.
    I'd like to add to the cursor the FOR UPDATE clause, but from what i've read,
    it seems that this will cause ALL the rows in the cursor to become locked.
    This is a problem, as the other session is running MERGE statements on the table every few seconds, and I don't want it to fail with ORA-0054 (resource busy).
    What I would like to know is if there is a way, that only the rows in the
    current bulk will be locked, and all the other rows will be free for updates.
    To reproduce this problem:
    1. Create test table:
    create table TEST_TAB
    ID1 VARCHAR2(20),
    ID2 VARCHAR2(30),
    LAST_MODIFIED DATE
    2. Add rows to test table:
    insert into TEST_TAB (ID1, ID2, LAST_MODIFIED)
    values ('416208000770698', '336015000385349', to_date('15-11-2009 07:14:56', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
    insert into TEST_TAB (ID1, ID2, LAST_MODIFIED)
    values ('208104922058401', '336015000385349', to_date('15-11-2009 07:11:15', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
    insert into TEST_TAB (ID1, ID2, LAST_MODIFIED)
    values ('208104000385349', '336015000385349', to_date('15-11-2009 07:15:13', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'));
    3. Create test procedure:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC IS
    TYPE id1_typ is table of TEST_TAB.ID1%TYPE;
    TYPE id2_typ is table of TEST_TAB.ID2%TYPE;
    id1_arr id1_typ;
    id2_arr id2_typ;
    CURSOR My_Crs IS
    SELECT ID1, ID2
    FROM TEST_TAB
    WHERE ID2 = '336015000385349'
    FOR UPDATE;
    BEGIN
    OPEN My_Crs;
    LOOP
    FETCH My_Crs bulk collect
    INTO id1_arr, id2_arr LIMIT 1;
    Forall i in 1 .. id1_arr.COUNT
    UPDATE TEST_TAB
    SET LAST_MODIFIED = SYSDATE
    where ID2 = id2_arr(i)
    and ID1 = id1_arr(i);
    dbms_lock.sleep(15);
    EXIT WHEN My_Crs%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE My_Crs;
    COMMIT;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000,
    'Test Update ' || SQLCODE || ' ' || SQLERRM);
    END TEST_PROC;
    4. Create another procedure to check if table rows are locked:
    create or replace procedure check_record_locked(p_id in TEST_TAB.ID1%type) is
    cursor c is
    select 'dummy'
    from TEST_TAB
    WHERE ID2 = '336015000385349'
    and ID1 = p_id
    for update nowait;
    e_resource_busy exception;
    pragma exception_init(e_resource_busy, -54);
    begin
    open c;
    close c;
    dbms_output.put_line('Record ' || to_char(p_id) || ' is not locked.');
    rollback;
    exception
    when e_resource_busy then
    dbms_output.put_line('Record ' || to_char(p_id) || ' is locked.');
    end check_record_locked;
    5. in one session, run the procedure TEST_PROC.
    6. While it's running, in another session, run this block:
    begin
    check_record_locked('208104922058401');
    check_record_locked('416208000770698');
    check_record_locked('208104000385349');
    end;
    7. you will see that all records are identified as locked.
    Is there a way that only 1 row will be locked, and the other 2 will be unlocked?
    Thanks,
    Yoni.

  • I have recently updated m iPhone 4 which was not used since months. It has to be updated from5.1.4 to iOS 7.0.4 and it has taken more than 15 hours to get started. Plz help me. It took about 5 to 6 hrs to prepare for updating.

    I have recently updated m iPhone 4 which was not used since months. It has to be updated from5.1.4 to iOS 7.0.4 and it has taken more than 15 hours to get started. Plz help me. It took about 5 to 6 hrs to prepare for updating.

    I am having this problem.  At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2.  I am not sure why this is happening. 
    My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
    The problem mainly occurs with apps.  I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them.  The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
    Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage.  It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup.  With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up.  The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
    My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete.  This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
    I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.
