Lenovo V460 - onboard Intel Graphics

Good Day,
I have a Lenovo V460 with the following specs:
Intel Core i5 - M450 (http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=49022)
4 Gb Mem
+- 300Gb HDD
Onboard "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator" (NO switch to NVIDIA here)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
The graphics card driver is the latest @ version 8.15.10.2008 (from Lenovo site).
So, my issue is the graphics performance:
When I right-click My Computer -> Properties -> System -> Rating = 2.2 (For 3D Business and gaming graphics performance)...
I can`t even play Age of Empires III on this machince.
Is there a way to update the graphics drivers or something? According to the Intel site the performance should be a lot better...
Any input would be appreciated!

any error when you start the game?

Intel graphics multimedia accelerator has no driver after loading windows7

hp pavilion desktop a814x pc drivers for windows 7

Hi:
The onboard Intel graphics adapter in your PC is not completely capable of running W7.
There are no W7 drivers for it because it cannot run the Windows Aero feature.
I found a way a while ago to get a notebook graphics adapter to work on many desktop models with the Intel 910/915 chipset and the GMA900 graphics adapter.
If it works, you will be able to have all graphics capabilities except Windows Aero.
This will only work for Windows 7, 32 bit.
Here is what you need to do...
Download and run this Vista driver. You will get an unsupported operating system error. Close out of any error windows.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=447348&spf...
Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display Adapters category. Click on the Standard VGA Adapter.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software method, and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp34749. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.
After you reboot, your PC should have decent graphics.

Intel Graphics no longer works after upgrade to Windows 8.1

Upgraded to Windows 8.1. The Intel HD 4000 Graphics Driver no longer loads. Device manager reports an error (43). Can only use Generic Non PnP Monitor. Any word on when this will be fixed?
Driver version: 10.18.10.3316
Thinkpad W530

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that Intel graphics driver is not working in your Lenovo ThinkPad W530 after updating to Windows 8.1.
Try updating your chipset drivers and ensure that you have enabled onboard graphics in BIOS. Try to install Windows 8 driver and check if it helps.
This issue has been discussed at Intel community forums and they are working with Microsoft to get this issue fixed. Hope they will resolve the issue on priority and come up with an update. As of now, the only work around is to roll back the system to Windows 8 and wait for an update or patch.
Best regards,
Mithun.

How can I disable intel graphics? G570

Hi!
I have a question like in the topic. I have a Lenovo G570 laptop with Intel HD integrated Graphics and AMD HD 6300M dedicated Graphics. I'm running on Win7.
I know that a similar topic was before and that the Intel graphic should switch to amd when necessary but I think it's not working right. The problem is with Skyrim. When I run the game's setup it automatically detects the configuration I possess and chooses the graphic options in the game. As You can imagine they are the lowest possible as it ONLY detects my intel graphic. The AMD adapter is not there (the list which appears to choose from does contain the intel only).
So, is there ANY way to just turn off the intel adapter and work on amd all the time? It would help a lot. I tried that in device manager but when I disable the intel graphics the screen resolution drops rapidly and aero theme from windows is being disabled. It sucks. As if I was forced to use the intel.
Can anyone help? I would sure appreciate that a lot.
Thanks!

Hi Lenssd9,
If you could tell us what machine type you're using and the operating system we might be able to pinpoint a means of assisting you without too much reconfiguring.

T520 with Optimus - Can't install Intel Graphics Driver in XP

Hello,
I have T520 with Optimus FHD screen.
I have XP installed in my Ultrabay HDD.
I understand that XP doesn't support Optimus and that I must go to BIOS and choose either Discrete or Integrated.
OPTION 1 (Discrete Only) Which someone what works:
- So, when I have Discrete enabled in BIOS - and installed Nvidia Drivers in XP - everything works fine, expcept on 90% initial boot ups after going from Win 7 to XP (F12 Options) - I assume the NVIDIA driver doesn't get initially recognised and the XP boots up in non native resolution.
- It's only after I restart again and use (F12 again) to pick Ultrabay with XP, the Nvidia gets properly loaded. But this time, there is a prolong delay (60 to 90 seconds) of black screen after the WIndows XP Welcome screen before the desktop appears.
OPTION 2 (Intgrated Display Only) - Of couse, this after uninstalling NVIDIA Graphic Driver in XP
- In BIOS, Integrated Graphic in choosen.
- XP boots up in basic resolution.
- I download (From Lenovo T520 Driver Page) - Intel Integrated Driver for Win XP 32.
- When I try to install it, it says "The computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
- BTW, I do have all the WIndows Updates including NET 3.0 and higher
- So then, I try to forcibly installed through Device Manager and Having DISK - but I get Error message.
- But somehow, it works after.
One guess I have and that confuses me is the Otimus Graphic Card - where maybe it can only work with either Optimus Drivers in Windows 7 or Nvidia Drivers in Windows XP. And that the Integrated Intel HD Graphic Drivers in for XP on Lenovo website are only meant for T520 with Intel Graphics ??!!
Or can optimus be used with intergrated intel drivers only in the XP?
If anyone can shed a small light, I would be grateful.
Thanks You
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Glad to know everything is working for you.
You shouldn't need the discrete to watch flash videos, the Intel integrated should be able to handle that on its own.
The nVidia card shouldn't be running at all when the machine is in integrated . In fact it doesn't even run in Optimus except when it is actively being used. nVidia proved this when it was first demoing the technology. nVidia removed the nVidia chip from the motherboard of an active system that was running in Optimus using only the integrated graphics, and the computer kept running without issue and the power consumption was the same with and without the chip on the board.
If you really wanted FireFox to always run with the nVidia card (again, I don't know why you would want this) you can change the settings in the nVidia control panel to force FireFox to run with discrete.
When asking for help, post your question in the forum. Remember to include your system type, model number and OS. Do not post your serial number.

Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540 - Graphic card recognition and blue Screens BSOD

Hi, I'm having MAJOR troubles with Windows 8.1 64 Bit latest version on a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E540.Effects are:- Startup and BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL- Serveral effects on the Nvidia GT740M in the device manager not detected or driver could not start - not detected in device manager - detected, but driver not started    Die Treiber für dieses Gerät wurden nicht installiert. (Code 28)
    Es sind keine kompatiblen Treiber für dieses Gerät vorhanden.
    Klicken Sie auf "Treiber aktualisieren", um einen Treiber für dieses Gerät zu finden. - Updated e.g. Intel Bluetooth driver: => seen, but driver could not be started, deactivated/activated device => OK BIOS version is latest version available today. Latest Intel driver available from Lenovo is very old from 20.12.2013, 10.18.10.3379Nvidia GT740M driver: 9.1.2015, 9.18.13.4725, also older driver don't work reliable. @Lenovo: Please provide newer drivers for Intel HD 4600 and Nvidia GT740M which work reliable on Thinkpad Edge E540 !!!!! Thank you. Gerhard

No, they want swap the motherboard for free (I've also bough a 3 year additional warranty). I've to reinstall the Windows system to "proove" that it also not working correctly. And still not possible to destinguish between the 3 theoretical options listed below. Otherwise they will charge 380EUR + the price for the motherboard (guessing 200 EUR) which is not acceptable. Theoretically only the cause which are possible are:- Hardware problem
- Driver problem
- Windows OS problem I also uninstalled all graphic card drivers (Intel HD4600 and Nvidia GT740M driver in safe mode with Driver uninstaller). Rebooted. Afterwards with opened device manager to see the graphic card devices I was installing the latest driver package. Intel HD4600 driver installs well, when the Nvidia GT740M driver will be installed computer crashes instantly.https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-edge-e540/downloads/DS039880

Intel graphics drivers performance improvement

Just a heads up for people looking to get a little more performance from the Intel on CPU graphics...
I noticed that Lenovo has updated the Intel graphics drivers to version 8.15.10.2418: http://download.lenovo.com/lenovo/content/ddfm/MIGR-77280.html
My i5 X220 Win 7 x64 machine had 8.15.10.2342 installed, and I decided to go ahead and install the recent update.
After installing this and rebooting, I re-ran the Windows Experience Index assessment and noticed that the Graphics subscore has moved to 6.3 from the prior 5.9. The Gaming graphics subscore remains the same as before at 6.3. I haven't noticed any day to day difference yet, but perhaps others will.
Note that this update isn't showing up in Lenovo System Update (at least not for me anyway). But you can manually download and install from the link above.

I'm not sure why they would be so different... Are you running on battery? Mine is powered via 65W adapter through UltraSeries 3 base. Mine is a 4286 CTO with i5-2520M (2.5 GHz). I am using UEFI instead of legacy BIOS.
I don't think it should make a difference, but just in case it does, here is more info on my laptop: extra DIMM (3rd party) installed bringing RAM to 8 GB. BIOS 1.20. mSATA SSD (MyDigitalSSD 64 GB) is startup disk, but ProgramData and Users are on 320 GB drive. Both drives use BitLocker drive encryption (via TPM). The system takes a long time to post (at power on and with reboot) due to Lenovo's problems in the firmware. OS is Win 7 x64 Ultimate. The X220 lid is closed. The laptop is connected to a 1920x1200 display via DisplayPort-DVI adapter
After the computer rebooted I waited a few minutes for Windows services to settle down before starting the WEI assessments.

Windows 7 Control Panel Display and Intel Graphics Media Control Panel Constantly

I have a Nvidia NVS 5200 M running with Intel 4000 and Windows 7 on a Lenovo T430S.
Whenever I load the Control Panel -> Display settings, I can see options just fine, but I click on any of the drop down menus and they appear for a second, then immediately disappear (fast enough that I can't change settings).
There's a similar problem when I look in the Intel Graphics Media Control Panel. It constantly appears to be "loading" - the mouse icon turns into a little blue circle off an on, continuously. Similar thing with the settings, too - they appear and let me change them, but immediately return to the original setting. I can change them if I act SUPER quickly to make the change then click Apply. But 99/100 I'm not fast enough.
All drivers are up to date. I have no idea what to do (reinstall or uninstall this Intel Graphics control panel? How? Or somehow change a setting on my graphics card).
Please help!

Try uninstalling both drivers, then reinstalling them. Sometimes a clean driver update works better.

GT60 2PC 3K keeps using intel graphics instead of nvidia?

Hiya, having incredibly frustrating issues with my GT60 here.
Out of the box, this thing works relatively OK, except the version of Win 8 that's installed on it has some memory leak issues when running fullscreen applications. No big deal, run windows update and that turned out be sorted. However, now its got the awful Intel onboard graphics as the main graphics processor. Majority of games won't start because it won't support direct X and other shenanigans like that. Disabling the intel graphics in device manager had some small effect, I actually got my games to start but as soon as they try to render anything more than a loading screen, i get "out of video memory" errors, so it's like it's still refusing to use the nvidia card. This was all working fine before I did any windows updates except for the random memory leaks that would suddenly lag the crap out of games for a while. Anyone had any issues like this with a GT60 3K or similar series? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hello gorgoncola
Have you tried to recover the system and try the same scenario?
Is your game running okay on a clean-recovered system? Or it actually didn't run on NVIDIA graphics card?
Not all applications are detected by NVIDIA graphics driver and sometimes you'll need to manually add them to the detecting list (in the NVIDIA Control Panel) to automatically switch to NVIDIA graphics card to run them.

T500 Intel Graphics Anomalies with a side of BlueTooth

Greetings,
I have my system configured to use the Intel Integrated graphics (set to internal in the bios to save power) and I am experiencing the following graphical problems. I am running the latest bios and display driver from Lenovo, as provided by ThinkVantage System Update. Details of the drivers are in the directx diagnostics below. I have tried to install the latest Intel graphics driver from Intel's website for this chipset, but it says that my system is not supported (possibly something to do with ATI's Hybrid Graphics).
This does not occur in OpenSUSE 11.2 (even with the 3D Gnome desktop), but it does in Windows x64 with Aero. It usually occurs after watching SlingBox or NetFlix Instant View, but it has occurred in the past without those activities.
It has not occurred when using the ATI graphics adapter (set to dedicated in the bios), at least from the limited amount that I have made use of it.
Model: 20828zu
DirectX Diagnostics (full system / driver specs):
http://home.comcast.net/~quako33/MISC/DxDiag.txt
Screenshots of the problem:
http://home.comcast.net/~quako33/Images/gpu_problem1.png
http://home.comcast.net/~quako33/Images/gpu_problem3.png
Any ideas on how to resolve this without having to switch over to the ATI graphics adapter will be appreciated.
Finally... the bluetooth question... any keystroke to disable only the bluetooth? When I hit fn+f5, it disables the wifi and the bluetooth. A way to disable it in OpenSUSE 11.2 Gnome (like I can in Windows) would accomplish the same goal.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's a bug in the drivers. If you have 2+1GB or 2+4GB of RAM memory this will occur. Did you try to disable Aero? It might help. From what I understand the only way to fix this issue is to buy another 2GB module (2+2GB), or wait until a new graphics driver is released.
Regarding the Bluetooth;
Make sure you have Lenovo Hotkey Installed (If you have ran Lenovo System Update you probably have this installed).
Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\HOTKEY" and open "TpFnF5.exe" and hit the "Settings for Fn + F5" button.
I must admit I didn't really get if you had the Fn + F5 issues in Windows or OpenSUSE, but the behavior for Fn + F5 under Ubuntu 9.10 is:
WLAN/BT/OFF toggle (Fn+F5 press once: Wlan and BT off/Press second time: BT off, Wlan on/Third time: BT on, Wlan off/Press another time: BT and Wlan on)
If that is of any help to you.

Issues with intel graphics

Hello everybody.
I recently installed arch on my new laptop (lenovo z460, core i3, intel graphics), and I'm facing issues with graphics: every time I execute some 3D application the X is crashing.
I use kde4 as window manager, but did a test on gnome and faced the same issue there, so it does not look like a WM issue.
The applications I tested so far are the video players using gl as video output and games like openarena. Video players using xv as video output with composite disabled runs well.
Searching on the forum, I saw an old post with an issue similar to mine, saying that this is an issue introduced in ligbl 7.4.2, but I cannot even downgrade to this version since I cannot find it anymore.
One more information that may help, I did a try with arch 32 and 64 and faced issues on both, but I also tried on kubuntu 10.04 LTS and this issue does not happen there. Unfortunately I am not that experient to understand the differences and find a solution
Do you guys have any ideas on how to fix this issue? I really don't wanna use kubuntu...
Thanks

Kubuntu likely has older versions of Xorg and the intel driver. If you look into /var/log/Xorg.0.log on both Arch and Kubuntu, it should be possible to find out which version works and which don't. You can then see if you can find the working version in the repositories.

MSI GE70 2PE: How to turn off onboard Intel GPU?

Hi everybody,
According to the system specifications my notebook must have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M graphic device. However, after installing Linux Mint 17 i noticed that the only video device available is an Intel GPU (integrated Intel GPU). When i enter my BIOS, i cannot find any option to disable the onboard Intel GPU, maybe i missed it somewhere. Can anyone tell me how i can disable the onboard (integrated) Intel GPU so i can utilize the NVIDIA graphic device.
All help/hint/tips will be very much appreciated!
Thanks.

Quote from: Blender;113072
Hi Nomko
I'm not sure about Linux (I'm windows based) but would guess that it needs the nvidia linux drivers loaded before the system would recognise the second screen card, the system by default assumes that the intel chip is the one to be used.
Perhaps have a look here for drivers

Hi Blender,
I don't think this is the solution. If i want to use my NVidia graphic device, the Intel GPU must be disabled. Linux doesn't see the Nvidia graphic device at all right now and installs the driver for the Intel GPU as this is set as the default graphic device.
But thanks anyway!

I can't install Intel graphics driver for HP Pavilion G6 2240SH under Windows 8.1

HI!
I installed Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64 to my HP Pavilion G6 2240SH laptop. I started install the drivers and I got an error message in the Intel High-Definition setup: "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."
Intel HD driver version: 10.18.10.3277
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Spatrik
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello Spatrik,
I have read your post on how your notebook computer is displaying an error message that your updated driver does not meet your system requirements, and I would be happy to assist you!
The first step I recommend is to remove the Intel graphics driver, as well as removing the chipset drivers from Programs and Features. These chipset drivers will be named Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver, and Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver. Once the drivers are removed, please restart your computer.
When the computer powers back on, please download and install the following drivers:
Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver
Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver
Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver
Once these drivers are re-installed, please follow this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8). This should help in updating your computer's Intel drivers.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
Regards
MechPilot
