Lenovo H430 video card problem

Hi All,
I searched a little bit through the forum but didn't find an answer to the problem that I'm having. Apologies if it's been answered and I just missed it..
I have a H430 desktop with an i3-2120. I recently bought a Quadro 600 to install into the box. When I install the video card and turn on the box, all I see is the Lenovo boot screen. Nothing happens, then I heard 2 beeps. Normally, I would have associated this with the RAM, but the machine runs fine when I'm using the integrated graphics.
I'm using the original 280 watt power supply, but the Quadro only uses 40 watts max. Any ideas on what the problem might be??
Thanks in advance!

hi spikeyboi,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Check this thread posted by ParadiseDecay as a few people found it helpful to resolve their video card upgrade problem.
The solution was to:
1. Boot into the BIOS (by pressing F1 on startup) without the discrete video card
2. On the BIOS, navigate to the Startup tab and look UEFI, CSM, or Secure Boot and set the value to either Disable / Legacy or Compatibility.
3. Press F10 to save the settings and exit BIOS
4. Power off the PC, Insert the discrete video card and test
Hope this helps.

  • Lenovo G500 video card problem

    Hello,i have bought a laptop
    Lenovo IdeaPad G500 59-377575
    with intel b960 and amd hd 8570m.my main problem is that my amd video card is not installing with the drivers from cd or from internet (http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/avga110w8.exe) .it gives me an error that says (installation complete(warnings occured during installation)).With this driver (download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/f809gv0e.exe) the video card is giving me the same error but is installing.the performance is a bit better than intel hd but i can not play test drive unlimited on screen resolution with high details.i have only 20-30fps.is much worse than my old amd hd 6470m.i am using win 8 64 bit.
    i hope you can help me.
    meery christmas to all!

    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 T60 video card problem

    I have a T60 with 3GB Ram running Windows 7 (32bit) When watcing a video (on or offline) the display freezes or the frame rate slows to a crawl, this happens every few minutes. I also experience the same problem when playing a game on the machine.
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to rectify this problem?

    It would probably be helpful if you identify which video card your system is equipped with and if this is a newly developed problem.

  • Lenovo G510 video card problem

    Hi there! Since a while I'm having some problems with my laptop's Video card.When I try to launch a game using the AMD Graphic card by going to 'Switchable Graphics', the game is not working, I mena I can hear the background sound of the game but the screen is black.When I switch to Intel Graphic Card the game is working perfectly.
    When I go to Device Manager, I can see both Intel and AMD graphic card.But When I use FurMark I can only see the Intel Graphic Card which is the only one which works.
    When I launch TechPowerUp GPU-Z I get an error which tells me to update my OPENCL and my video card driver.
    Any ideas, please?
    Thank you!
    Solved!

    Hi,
    Just delete both Intel and AMD graphics drivers in Device Manager and make sure to delete softwares of the respective graphics too (can be done in Programs and Features, found in control panel)
    Then first install Intel Graphics driver and then install AMD graphics driver from support site respective of your OS.
    And do not update your Intel drivers from Windows Update and neither directly from AMD website.
    It is prefered to install manufacturer drivers as they may be customised according to our machines.
    Im using G510 on Windows 8.1 Pro x64
    AMD Radeon HD 8570M, Intel HD 4600

  • Lenovo G580 Video Card problem

    Hi All, 
    I have bought new Lenovo 580G .I install Windows 7 64bit, but when I`m istalling Intel video drivers and restart system after loading and shows desktop system restart. Sometimes will load system, after that I `m istalling Gforce GT630 drivers, after restart it is the same. I tried with drivers from CD , and drivers from support lenovo.   I tried with Windows 7 Ultimate, x64,  and Home Premium x64 .  I can`t find driver for Windows XP .

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    Sorry to hear about the issues your facing. Hope i can assist. Base from you post you may need to go to the BIOS and Check if the  Graphics has been set correctly. The Bios is able to set the machine to using the HD GPU or the NVDIA GPU or both simultaneously.  
    Also please try the latest drivers available on Support site, Please give them a try
    Nvidia Video Driver
    Intel Video Driver
    Hope This Helps
    Cheers!!!
    Important Note: If you need help, post your question in the forum, and include your system type, model number and OS. Do not post your serial number.

  • MacBook Pro 15" video card problems (i think)

    Can anyone tell me if this is indeed a video card problem?
    MBP 15" info (Dec. 2011)
    Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    OS X Lion 10.7.5
    This is what happened:
    I use my mbp heavily because I edit a lot of videos with Premiere. I also use lightroom / photoshop alot + games. I also installed Parallels desktop late 2013. I don't know if that is relevant but anyway. Everything started late 2013 (a little after installing parallels actually) when there are moments when the audio wouldn't work and I couldn't adjust the volume. It would come back anyway so i didn't mind it. Then the fans were on high speed for little activity. After that the keyboard backlight couldn't be adjusted and wouldnt work. I ignored all of these cuz i wasn't troubling me at the time. In January i left for france to study - I use bike all the time and once stupidly placed my laptop on the basket going to school (rough roads). I had a class with html so I had to open Parallels, my teacher pointed out the fans and how loud they were. That day, parallels desktop said i must upgrade to windows 9 or it will restart every 2hours. I didn't of course. I didn't have time to.
    After that (a few days later i think) my laptop would randomly turn into a black screen but it's still on (the power LED is on) I tried turning it off by pressing down the power button and then turning it back on. It worked the first time. During the first week, the frequency of it happening grew. It would do it almost 3 times a day. during that same week I tried to do an SMC reset. It fixed the keyboard light, fans and audio but not the black screen thing. It just keeps on happening around 1-3 times a day. It only happens when I'm using it btw, never when I just leave it. ALSO, after a few days, it would take longer hours to open my mbp again. I mean, the screen would turn black. i would turn it off, then on again. I will ONLY hear the hard drive moving but no startup sound and no grey screen and apple logo. nothing.
    The following weeks after that, I asked a friend to help me out. He suggested that I install gfxCardStatus because he said it might be my video card. He instructed that I keep it on intergrated only. So I installed that and did what he said I thought it worked for a while because the black screens stopped happening (even when gfx keeps on going back to dynamic) BUT NOW, MY LAPTOP WOULD FREEZE (not turn black). I'd shut it down using the power button but it still takes me hours to open it again. Sometimes, I'd wait for the battery to drain because it would startup when i charge it (sometimes)
    I tried doing AHT as well to confirm the video card problem, but the results are no problems found. I really don't want to replace my logicboard here in france. everything is more expensive here. ;__;
    Today I uninstalled parallels to see if that might have had anything to do with my problem now but i think that's just wishful thinking.
    Can somebody tell me if this is really about the video card? Thank you

    Your appointment at the genius Bar in an Apple Store (anywhere in the world) for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out. Those guys put their hands on these Macs all day every day, and they are especially good at Physical and Power problems.
    Ask them.

  • Video card problem ?

    thanks

    Restart your MacBook and hold down on the "d" key for "diagnostics". This will startup the MacBook into the Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended tests. Let's see if you don't get an error when it checks the video system.

  • MacPro Early 2008 Display/Video Card Problem

    *Hello, I have a Dual Quad-Core 2.8Ghz MacPro (Early 2008) with the stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB Video Card. I believe I am having the exact same symptoms listed on the topic "Mac Pro 2008 Video Card Problem".*
    *MacPro has been working fine. Until one day, I power it on and the display stays black. There is nothing you can do besides holding down the power button and rebooting the computer. I have tried to do this many times and the display will not come up. I have also tried resetting the VRAM and PRAM settings - still did not work. I have had my MacPro for about one year and a half. It is in very good condition (no damage/no liquid/no overheating). From time to time, you power on the computer and the display works! It is very random. I am scared to turn off the computer or put it to sleep as this can also trigger the problem.*
    *I did not get the extended AppleCare (the MacPro itself already cost me about $3400!) I tested the Cinema Display and it is fine, therefore the problem is not coming from the display.*
    *I went to the Apple Store and they kept my MacPro for one night. Called me the next day telling me it was going to cost me approximately $800 in order to fix this problem. They claimed that either my Bluetooth module or my Main Logic Board was causing the display not to show. I am out of warranty, and I think it is very expensive. I am doing my research online in order to try and find a cheaper solution. After reading the discussions and checking out some other websites. I have a few questions:*
    *If I buy a NEW* ATI Radeon HD 2600 and install it in my MacPro - will it fix my problem?*
    *OR - I also heard about the ATI Radeon HD 4870 - Is that graphic card compatible with my MacPro - will that resolve the problem?*
    *Do you think I should give it a shot? Are there any other things I can try?*
    *I am thinking that I should try to replace the graphic card first and see if that is causing the problem instead of replacing the Main Logic Board right away (which will cost me over $500)*
    *Please let me know of any thoughts that come in mind. I really need some support. I am a college student studying Audio Engineering and I use my MacPro everyday on Pro Tools and Logic. This machine is my life.*
    *Thank You,*
    *Kevin C.*

    Glad you solved your problem Gaunja. Here's an update on my own.
    When last heard from I had diagnosed the failure of my displays to boot up to graphics card problem in my early 2008 Mac Pro with my stock ATI Radeon HD 2600 by swapping out the same card from my son's Mac Pro and seeing the displays boot up fine. Before heading off to the Apple store for a new card I reinstalled my suspect video card just to see what would happen. The displays booted up fine. Now, two weeks later, again no video display--black screens--no signal from the graphics card. I rebooted the computer several times to no avail and was, again, about to head off to the Apple store for a new card. This time "just to see what would happen" I moved the graphics card to another slot and bingo, the displays are up. What can be determined from my experience to date?
    1. The graphics card is flirting with death. Like a patient unwilling to die, through a mysterious force, it rallies to live another day.
    2. The slot the card came installed in is unreliable--it's dirty, there's a spec of dust in there, a contact has degraded after two years, or some other slot related fault. Note that, until the card failed for the first time, it had never been removed from it's slot, the computer was treated gently, and it operated in a very clean environment.
    If anyone has another theory about what may be happening here please feel free. I fully expect the displays to go dark again at some point as my suspicions are that it's the card itself that is the problem. The two replacement cards I'm considering are the ATI Radeon HD 4870 or the Nividia Geo Force GT120. I've read that both work with the early Mac Pros. Some complain that the ATI card is noisy and expensive. Based of Gaunja's post and others I think the Nividia card will suit my needs, be quieter, and cost less. But, for now, my stock ATI Radeon 2600 lives!
    Just one man's experience with the "Mac Pro display, black screen" problem.

  • Video card problem on boot

    Hello. We have 8 computer that act as multipoint server 2011. On these servers we have connecter wise zero client e01 (usb). The computer was a lenovo M91p with nvidia geforce 201 additionnal card.
    The major problem was that, if the computer reboot (windowsupdate, student action), as we dont have a monitor connected on any video out, the computer boot in maintenance mode and not in normal mode.
    I have tried many time to reinstall video driver, change options in bios, modify registry, but with no luck.
    I have read on some posts that we need a graphic card with w2k8 drivers, but i dont have found at low price.If someone have a solution it could be great.
    Thanks.

    Be sure to install the driver only and not any of the rest of the feature set. In most video installations this means choosing the Custom install option and unselecting everything except the driver.
    This problem could also be unrelated to the video card and may be just that the USB EO1 devices are in an error state which causes the server problems. Try powering the server off (completely. Power down and unplug the server from the wall) then power it
    back on again.
    thanks, Amy

  • Possible Video Card problem while running 3d applications on wine

    Hello guys, I got an issue with wine running 3d games/applications on the netbook and I thought this was the right place to post, since I'm pretty new to Arch, sorry if I messed something up with the sections.
    Long story short: The applications/games I "tested" are Football Manager 2013 (via Steam) and Nintendo64 emulator. I didn't post on the wine forums since I'm pretty sure it's not a wine related problem, due to the fact that on my desktop both work without any problem with same wine and Arch configuration.
    The netbook as an integrated Intel video,  while the desktop has a nvidia card.
    So I'm assuming there something wrong with the video card/drivers/configuration even if X runs good and seem configured correctly.
    When I run those games with wine i get the following error and I get a black screen on wine:
    @ swapchain.c / 338
    fixme:d3d:context_check_fbo_status FBO status GL_FRAMEBUFFER_UNSUPPORTED (0x8cdd)
    fixme:d3d:context_check_fbo_status Location SFLAG_INTEXTURE (0x40000).
    fixme:d3d:context_check_fbo_status Color attachment 0: (0x1b8cf0) WINED3DFMT_B8G8R8X8_UNORM 1024x768 0 samples.
    err:d3d:wined3d_debug_callback 0x1b75b8: "GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION in glBlitFramebufferEXT(incomplete draw/read buffers)".
    err:d3d:swapchain_blit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION (0x506) from Swapchain present blit(EXT_framebuffer_blit)
    and the thing is Football Manager doesn't need much graphics, since games can be played even in 2d.
    I searched for the error but I didn't find anything, that's why I'm asking!
    Thanks in advance to everyone who'll help.

  • Cintiqs, Monitors, and Video card problems.

    Hi all,
    Alright so first of all. I have a 2008 MacPro 3,1 QuadCore.
    I'm an animator so I have a duel monitor setup. They're both pretty crappy but run really nicely with my graphics card. I currently have just one ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB video card. It has three outputs, two mini display ports and one DVI-I port. So I always have an extra output.
    Alright now that I've set the scene, one MacPro, two monitors. Enter one Cintiq. I finally pulled the trigger on getting a Cintiq. I know! Its awesome, I love it.
    It works great I couldn't ask more from the machine.
    Just one problem. Even though I have three video outputs, I'm not able to connect all three (2 monitors 1 cinitq) all at once. Its super annoying to have to swith out the cords everytime I want to do anything with the cintiq. I've had 3 monitors plugged in at the same time so I know its not a faulty card.
    I would love to be able to have my cinitq and the other 2 monitors all running at once. From what I've read online it looks like I'll have to get a second graphics card that I can connect the cintiq into.
    Any recomendations on a new card? is there any way I can avoid paying the extra $150 for a new one?
    Another thought on that. Is it even possible to connect two different types of video cards into the same machine? I'm assuming its just by brand so the drivers don't get mixed up?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    -Dann

    No need for a different video card, just some different plumbing.
    In order to get all three ports going, you need active adapters on the mini display ports. The Apple part most of us have is passive.
    I was having the same problem you discribe except my "CinTiq" was a HD color grading monitor for my post-production work. I got a pair of these:  Accell B087B-006B UltraAV Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D Single-Link Active Adapter ATI Certified (Black) and my problems were over.
    Your CinTiq may have additional requirements, so check it all out, but I think this'll get the job done.
    good luck

  • Adobe Photoshop CC Video Card Problem

    Hi all, I've had a problem with the new Adobe Photoshop CC and is that I open so just do not do anything or open any document, makes me the video card to its maximum Load as when I play on the PC. This did not happen in previous versions as CS6 or other. I would like to know why this happens and if there is solution. Thank you.

    Hello, no, they are not the drivers of my video card, the design team have a configuration of 2 Radeon 7970 Crossfire and everything was perfect with Photoshop CS6, but using the new Photoshop CC but accelerate and increase the temperature and no task is done in Photoshop, just enough to open it and it happens. We have tried several drivers from AMD but same thing happens. ¿Any solution?

  • How to deal with video card problem on Thinkpad E420

    thinkpad E420 has GMA and a Special video card ATI READON HD 6630
    I installed Archlinux and xf86-video-intel
    then I go to the AMD offical web site and download video driver for linux64bit 11.8
    after I installed it
    I cannt login
    and report me the gnome was crashed
    can anybody help me with this problem?
    how to make the two card work
    or to disable my ATI card to cold down my laptop
    thanks ^^

    Maybe not out of the woods yet. I ordered a new video card and installed it today in slot 1 after removing the original one. When booting up I thought I was pressing the PRAM reset but had mistakenly held the "control" key down as well. Needless to say - no monitor start-up.
    After restarting a couple of times to no avail I realized my mistake and the next time correctly held the CommandOption+PR keys but interestingly it took a couple of restart chimes before it correctly brought up a gray screen. I then didn't release the keys in time and the next restart chimes the monitor stayed black - after one or two more continuous restart chimes I got the gray screen and everything booted up OK. I no longer have an error message for PCI Cards at System Profiler.
    But given that it seemed that the PRAM reset didn't consistently activate a signal to the monitor, I am a little anxious that I have been chasing the wrong problem - that maybe it's been a PRAM or other problem all along and not necessarily the monitor. I do have that case where the System Profiler gave me an error message for the PCI Cards selection under Hardware in System Profiler, but I'm left wondering if problem solved.
    Any easy way to debug PRAM - where is PRAM data stored?
    I will report back if I get another black screen on restart or wake up...

  • Video Card Problem in Lion, probably overheating.

    Hey guys, I recently started having artifacts going around my screen, few kernel panics and many crashes, specially when running demanding video games. I have an nVidia 8800 GT and all my system is up to date. Tested the video card on a Windows PC and I got the same problems with video games.
    What I'm observing is that the fan of the video card isn't spinning as fast as it should, so the system crashes a couple of minutes later of executing a video game such Assassin's Creed 2 (very demanding) and much later if playing Slayer HD Pinball (not demanding), so I think this is an overheating problem, plus, the fan isn't working as it should do so I think there is no doubts of overheating.
    However, I would like to know if there is a way to force the fan of the video card spinning faster (or any solution for this problem). if so, please, let me know.
    Thanks!
    Ø3
    PS: I'm on Lion 10.7.2

    First up, you should blow air through the fan BACKWARDS. This will dislodge the buildup. Best if you use compressed air.
    Next, in WIndows you should instal EVGA Precision. This will allow you to alter fan speed.
    Easy enough to test your theory then, just crank fan speed to 100% and try playing a game tha usually gives you trouble.
    If it still crashes, your card is dying and needs a trip to the oven. (google)
    If upping the fan fixes the crashing, then you need to use Nibitor to mod the fan speed profile and reflash with the higher fan speed. (you actually mod the curve in terms of how it responds to various temps...do the test first before you worry about this)

Maybe you are looking for
