Lenovo G500 graphic card driver

Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Ideapad g500 with the following specs:
Intel® CoreTM i7 3632QM
6gb ram
1TB HDD
HD 8570M Radeon
I installed a Win7 64 Bit, but have trouble with the ati radeon card. After hours of trying everything I found on the net (including a similar topic here on lenovo forum) I installed the beta drivers and they were the only ones that got the card installed (the rest ahd trouble even installing CCC) If I right click and go to Switchable Graphics I cannot add another game I want to run and use the card. I can play most games on medium but one in particular works great but game crashes after 1 minute, even though i try to make the radeon card to be used. I installed a GPU meter but its always 0%. I think the radeon card isnt being used even with my setting because it never spikes or anything, and the games are not very high spec (League of Legends, Star Wars Online). I dont know what to do anymore. Switchable graphics is enabled in BIOS. The lenovo graphics driver does not even install CCC. I've even made a fresh Windows install, same problem. Game freezez, makes a horrible sound, I have to restart the laptop. It seems similar like crashes I got from my old laptop when trying games with far larger system needs, so I think the dedicated graphics card isn't used.
Please help me, its ruining my weekend .
Thank you in advance!
Later Edit: the so called "avga110w7.exe" drivers listed on the models driver page here on lenovo does not work correctly.

Hi Reluarea,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that your G500 Laptop is crashing even after installing the graphic driver and selecting the GPU as the default usable hardware. Below is the link to automatically scan the computer and install the latest driver for the computer and a link to check the Game compatibility before playing it:

Lenovo G510 Graphics Cards Driver Problem

Hi!
I just bought the Lenovo G510 Laptop, with an Radeon 8750, and installed Windows 8 64 Bit.
After installing the drivers from the provided CD, I get the following Bugcheck error code in WhoCrashed
0xA0000001 (0x5, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
when rebooting ,or when I try to open the Catalyst Control Center.
Actually the AMD graphics card driver seems to be responsible, as this problem does not occur until I install this driver.
I tried to use the driver provide at the Lenovo support page too (for both Windows 8 and 7), with the same result. The ThinkVantage System Update does not install an AMD graphics driver at all.
Accordding to WhoCrashed atikmdag.sys causes this error.
I would highly appreciate any help!

Hi Aimor,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the Wireless driver is not getting installed in your G510 Laptop, I suggest you to download a fresh copy of the driver from the below mentioned link and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error:
WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards

Lenovo G500 Graphic card problem

Hello
I have bought brand new Lenovo G500 (Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 2020M @ 2.40 GHz 2.40 AMD Radeon HD8570mGHz 8GB Ram) without system in it. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate here, and I cant install graphic card.
I downloaded AMD drivers and when I turn on my notebook again, in manager graphic card is off, because of error 43.
Can I ask for fast reply ? I'm keep fighting with it 2 days in row.

Does the computer feel overly warm when the errors occur? If so the Video Card may be overheating, or have a hardware issue. If your notebook is under warranty - would suggest contacting Lenovo Support directly for service.

Lenovo g500 graphics card problem

Hi,
I have Lenovo G500 with I3-3110M and dedicated HD8750M.
The problem is that inside the game (lets say Skyrim) the HD8750M is working but somehow not well enough - low fps.
The problem is there since I reinstalled my notebook (from win8.1 to the same win8.1) and on older instalation everything worked just fine. When I install driver from amd.com, game starts, fps are great but the screen is flickering. With driver from lenovo.com fps are terrible.
I tried to reinstall both driver for both graphics and ran your video test which says everythig is ok.
Thank you for your help.

Anyone there?

Lenovo g500 graphics card cost

just wanna know how much will it cost to have a replacemet of the integrated graphics chip (amd radeon 8500m) ?????

If your GPU is working while you game then I believe you should be on the safe side, no it is not normal but it should not be much of an issue.
Lenovo has not yet released the Windows 8.1 driver for your AMD 8750M GPU and you are right now running the windows 8 drivers so you should be ok
regards
Lets make 2015 the year of the #DO

Failed to load detection driver

hi kiranhaardy,
For units with switchable graphics (Intel + AMD), it's normal for dxdiag to show the Intel HD Graphics as it's the primary GPU that the system uses before it switches to the AMD Graphics.
The several errors that you saw on the Intel HD Graphics might explain the flickering issue that you have as this indicates video memory errors. I recommend that you report these findings by contacting lenovo as you may need to send the unit for service.

Have Upgrade Graphic Card Driver, But Still Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness and Sleep Button Not Showing After Clean Installation of Windows 8.1

I have done clean installation of Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion G4.
Then I realize that I cannot put my computer on sleep mode and cannot adjust screen brightness.
I understand that those problems caused by the graphic card driver.
My computer is running on AMD Radeon HD 6400 series.
Thus, I manually search on internet and found a latest graphic card update on microsoft site that is claimed compatible on windows 8.1 (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn344644.aspx).
I've upgraded it into the latest one. I've check on Device Manager, the driver is running well.
But my problem did not solved!
Please give me the solution!

Hi,
How about go to Device Manager, then uninstall Graphic driver and restart your computer, system will install its build in graphic drver. You can have a try.
In addition, access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Brightness and set its value to 100 for test.

Dear support, users
I've recently formated my laptop and installed Windows 8.1 64bit on my dv7-4175eb. I have a problem with the graphical

the advanced boot options screen) unless I use the refresh your pc or reset your pc options . I have an AMD Mobility
Radeon HD 5000 Series and I tried to install the driver in this link (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064)

Can't install a graphic card driver.

Hi,
I recently installed Windows XP Home Edition on my Mac succesfully and installed all the drivers etc...
But one day, I decided to install an official updated graphic card driver from the nVidia official site. When I run the install process, it says that it can't find compatible drivers with my hardware, even though I downloaded the correct version of it ( 9M GeForce series for notebooks for Windows XP 32bit, and my 9600M GT was in the list of compatible cards)
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Windows isn't really a PC or something, that it is emulated I dunno. I haven't installed an anti-virus yet, maybe it's because of that ?
Please note that I installed Windows only to play games, so is it a problem not having the latest graphic card ?
Sincerely.

sometimes I wonder why respond when it is usually just to direct people to other forums, which seems to be a habit, and they would have directed you to VMware or Parallels site normally.
I figure people do know what they are doing after a while, and don't install drivers unless they are running Windows, and I detest the "I'm running Boot Camp" which is senseless, Boot Camp is just not something you can "run" and is only a set of drivers (and services or tasks).
Okay... as I alluded to, XP doesn't allow installing graphic drivers. Not embedded or mobility. People had to run to modified drivers from laptop2go or elsewhere. It is up to Apple etc to normally provide such drivers.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebookwinxp_195.62whql.html
And yes, IF it was a PC, and if drivers were kept current, and if you could boot into BIOS and make necessary changes.
With Windows 7, uninstalling graphic driver in Device Manager and let Windows install its own might work.

How to check Graphic Card driver?

How can I found out what Graphics Card driver I am running on my MacBook Pro? I open About This Mac, click on More Info, look at Graphics/Displays, but I'm not sure which number or whatever is the driver.

I'm going stick my head out on a limb and guess you are recent PC convert and are used to having to keep on top of the latest drivers and such. If that's the case with a Mac you don't need to do that and cannot download graphics card updates. What you can do is run Software Update and if there are any new updates (graphics or otherwise) it will let you know. It will then download and install those updates to your system. I believe what you are looking at is System Profiler which (as you have already seen) doesn't provide any more specifics than what you have already seen.

PS CC telling me that my graphics card driver needs an update... any ideas?

I have just tried to use a filter on PS CC and PS tells me that I need to make sure my performance settings are allowing accerated graphics card use. When I go into the preferences to check, there is a note telling me to update my graphics card driver. This isn't being picked up with a software update and when I check for a driver update manually, they are all executable files...
Any ideas?

Qosmio X505 - System Recovery CD + webcam and graphics card driver

I need some answers from anyone regarding my Toshiba Qosmio X505 notebook.
I bought this notebook back in July of this year and I am having problems with it already.
Number one, my most important concern is a system recovery disk. $1,500+ dollars I spent on this computer with a warranty it didn't come with any system recovery CD.
Once a year on all my computers I like to reinstall Windows as it makes the computer brand new again (I constantly work and even go to school on my laptop so I can't help if scrap piles up on it and it slows down after a while). What am I to do about this?
I think I read on this forums a while back that the computer came with something to create a backup disc.
I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."
Would this be what I am looking for to create a backup of the computers OS and preinstalled software? I want to keep all my Toshiba utilities as well as the required software to play Blu Ray movies.
Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initalize and then it doesn't work at all.
What gives? This should automatically work!
Number three, my graphics card/driver has been having some problems. Particurarily when I watch videos or run something like Windows Movie Maker. My screen will completely go black and and come back on and I get an error saying something like "NVidia has crashed and Recovered", I can't remember the exact error message, I archived it in Windows Error messages and it didn't save it for some reason. How do I fix this?
I got the latest graphics card drivers from NVidia that were appropriate for this computer and for some reason it crashes alot.
Any answers to these problems is appreciated.
I love this laptop but at the same time for the price of it compared to a cheap $300 other laptop I don't expect to have any problems with the web camera or editing videos. This computer should have rock solid drivers.

> I found the program "Toshiba Recovery Media Creator" that appears to create a "System Recovery."

Yes, this is the tool which creates the Recovery Disk. The recovery disk allows you t set the notebook back to the factory settings.
> Number two, the web cam. This ain't a big deal as I hardly use it but sometimes when I start the computer > I get an error message saying the web camera failed to initialize and then it doesn't work at all.

The webcam is controlled by Chicony webcam software. This software needs to be started in order to use the webcam. But also the 3rd party tools like MS messenger or Skype has an access to webcam and sometimes such tools can affect the webcam functionality.
Its hard to say why this happens but mostly everything works properly. But from time to time its needed to reinstall the webcam software.
> Particurarily when I watch videos or run something like Windows Movie Maker. My screen will completely go black and and come back on and I get an error saying something like "NVidia has crashed and Recovered", I can't remember the exact error message, I archived it in Windows Error messages and it didn't save it for some reason. How do I fix this?
This means that graphic card driver has crashed and has been started again.
Usually the graphic card driver should sort out such issues.
