M91p dual monitor graphics card issue

Hello,
My work recently purchased a Thinkcentre m91p - model number 7052C9U without realizing that it was not dual monitor capable. We're a small business and have no IT division so it is up to me to solve this problem for myself.
Ive been doing some research via google but have not come to any real conclusion about which graphics card I should get that is compatible and will allow me to use 2 monitors.
Can anyone here direct me in this regard? Im looking for a quality yet inexpensive graphics card, compatible with my model of Thinkcentre, that will allow me to go dual monitor.
Thank you in advance,
Brian

I'm confused, it has 2 monitor ports, a VGA port and a DisplayPort.
If you are not using a DisplayPort capable monitor, which many are not, you do need an adapter for that port, ie. DisplayPort to DVI.

Graphics card issue on new 2014 mini?

I have two Viewsonic monitors hooked up to one of the new Mac Mini's. I have the 2.6 ghz version with a fusion drive. I'm using a Thunderbolt to DVI connection for both monitors (using the two thunderbolt/display ports).
I'm having an issue where about 1 out of every 4 times I wake up the Mac from sleeping, one or both monitors have a distorted display. It almost looks like the colors on the screen are inverted. Other times one display will work, but the other is a digital version of a "salt and pepper" screen.
Putting the computer to sleep & back awake will usually fix it, but sometimes it takes a couple of wake/sleep cycles for the display to return to normal.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is this something I can fix, or do I have a graphics card issue? I've only had the computer for a couple of weeks now.

I saw some posts about the screens not waking, I haven't experienced that. So far mine will always turn on, they are just either distorted colors or snow. I wonder if it's a related issue?

Macbook Pro Graphics Card Issue.

My Mac wont boot up at all, just boots into a white screen and shuts down while the fans are whizzing like crazy.I've tried resetting the PRAM and SMC to no avail.
Before my mac would shut down whenever I use any graphic demanding application watch a youtube video or streaming a movie in quicktime (Clearly a graphics card issue) . I've reported this to apple a year ago a few times and brought it in twice, Once to an authorised retailer in Limerick and another time to a Apple store in London. In the past few months this problem has become more frequent than before where before it would only do it once/twice a month now its doing it a few times a day and at this point you can probably understand my frustration. In limerick I was told there was nothing they could do about the problem but just bring it to an apple store which I happened to go to a few weeks later while I was in london.
In London I was told they would replace the motherboard, The macbook was with them for a few days for repairs but they could not reproduce the problem but could see what was happening since others have had the same problem with the same model. I'm wondering why wasnt my macbook replaced THEN when the issue was addressed many times over the phone with apple during the first few months of use and when I brang it into the store. Now my apple care has expired and I'm just left with a broken machine and wondering why wouldnt they replace it when I was under warrenty when there was an obvious issue that was addressed multiple times.
I'm completly dissapointed in Apple, and am on the brink of losing brand loyalty, I've bought numerous iPhones,iPods and iPads throughout the years and the amount of issues that have not been fixed with this Macbook is crazy.I have now college in september, I obviously cant afford to pay the 750 to get it replaced, ontop of thousands of euros in college fees which I can barely afford anyway.
I paid €2000 for this machine that I thought would last me through college but it seems not the case since my first year in college starts in september. Is there any possible way to fix this issue with my mac or is it complely fried?

Ok, so I sarted to experience the same problem last week and this is what I did to fix it.
First I want to explain why this Fix works so I don't look like a total jack***trying home remedies:
What heating your GPU does is that in case that your card overheated some connections may had become loose as your logic board expands, basic thermodynamics. The heat will cause the soldering material to melt releasing the GPU pins from contact with the logic board. The heat coming form the heat gun can help to reconnect these pins. If you over heated your GPU and your card fried then your only choice is to replace it, which I don't think is possible without you having to pay for a new motherboard since the GPU is attached to it from factory.
Here is the link to the tutorial.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti8LqIHMnlQ
Mac Released an announcement about a Faulty AMD GPU installed in some MacBook Pros and iMacs (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5167). The Problem is apparently generated due to overheating of the GPU, however, some users had complaint that even after a new Motherboard replacement the problem persisted few minutes after they booted the computer for the first time. Apple offered a free motherboard replacement for specific models and only for limited time; If your mac was out of the timeline or did not fit the specified description then you will "Only" had to pay $350. ***** Doesn't it? I mean we already pay a substantial amount of money for Mac products and yet they want more money, corporate greed?
So the problem starts when you suddenly experience a hang on the system, this may vary for some users, I forced Rebooting and BOOM!! there it was, a pinkish low resolution apple that only leaded me to a gray and sometimes blue screen. So I was like ok no problem my system just want attention and all I have to do is a PRAM rest. Well, nothing, went more deeper and did a BIOS reset and still nothing. Ok, I was ****** because I upgraded to a SSD few weeks ago and based on my experience this also maybe caused if you have bad Hard Drive. So started the computer in Target Disk Mode and booted it as an external drive from another mac, the computer worked just great. My Next step was research the problem and I found thousands of users having the same issue. I spent 24 hrs reading Mac Support Forums and other pages and I figured that if I remove all the ATI Files form System/Library/Extensions will actually force the computer to start in Low Resolution Mode (Google How To Start your mac as a Single User Mode and research how to use command line "rm" commands). Once you do this you will find that your main screen will behave as if it was your external monitor therefore you have absolutely no control of it trying to fix the resolution. After two days of intense research and troubleshooting I was able to have the computer working, low resolution but working, then I realized I can't do nothing at all, I mean I can't miss Family Guy episodes and this aint gonna help :|. So this video shows exactly what you need to do to make it work.
Tools Needed: All can be found at any RadioShack Local Stores
1. PHH00 & T4 Screw Drivers
2. Thermal Compound
3. Circuit Cleaner (Rubbing Alcohol Works)
4. Heat Gun ( Can found at any Hardware store)

Macbook Pro Retina 2014 Top Spec - Premiere Pro CC Graphics Card Issue

Hello,
For 12 months I have been having graphics card issues which all started on my 2011 MBP, which Apple replaced 12 months ago. I Then got a new shiny, 2013 highest end retina macbook pro from apple, in which after a couple of weeks had the exact same graphics issue. As soon as I start working in Premiere Pro with my 1080P DSLR footage, once the fans get up high, then the graphic colour hologram like start pooping on my screen. Now I got that retina replaced as I alerted apple about it, now they have given me the highest end 2014 model, and guess what? The problem is twice as bad.
I think it's definitely got something to do with the Apple software. It's weird though, because on the rare occasion, the graphic poop will show up on my screen when I am on Youtube (only once in a blue moon it does that) - it does it every single time 15-20 mins into editing with Premiere Pro, once the fans get hot. I can click on the graphics poop and it makes it disappear, which is weird, maybe that proves it software issue?
I don't know, but this problem has caused me to go through two of apples most powerful laptops, 60 phone calls to Apple, 1 investigation lodged to the Apple Engineers (the people who are above the Senior Apple Care Advisors) - Nothing seems to fix it, and I haven't been able to create any more intriguing films on my laptop because Premiere Pro CC just brings up all the graphics poop.

JGFilm88
Thanks for the follow up information for my video card/graphics card question that came to mind out of curiosity.
I do not have Premiere Pro and am strictly and Elements Windows user. Otherwise I would look into this matter for you first hand. The place you want to be is in the Adobe Premiere Pro Forum, although, as you already mentioned, the screen display irregularities have appeared when Premiere Pro was not being used. Have you tried uninstalling Premiere Pro to determine if its removal from the computer resolves the screen display irregularities for whatever you are doing in the computer applications like iMovie? For that matter, do you see the problem in iMovies?
Just some thoughts to think about as you compose your inquiry for the Premiere Pro users in the Premiere Pro Forum.
Best wishes

Warhammer - Graphics Card Issue

So here's my problem. I'm running vista through bootcamp and am having problems installing/running Warhammer Online becauce of what appears to be a graphics card issue?
I screened through systemrequirementslab.com and came back with it saying I had "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"
The game has very specific video card requirements, which in actuality I meet. But when I try to run the game I get a black screen to crash.
Is there a way to fix this issue? Or should just get rid of this thing and buy a PC.

You might want to use Driver Sweeper and remove (deinstall and delete) your old drivers first, before installing new drivers.

Graphics card issue - Satellite A100-313 shuts down by itself

I have a satellite A100-313 and I'm using vista.
Everytime when I play games, the notebook shuts itself off after some time. It varies, normally have 10-20min of playing.
And when I immediately turn it on again, I get a black screen but the computer is running. I'd have to wait a while to turn it on again for the screen to work.
So it starts up again and the resolution is changed to 1024x764 (the native resolution is 1280).
I assume it is a graphics card issue (I have a Geforce 7600 Go). I already updated to the latest vista drivers available from the Toshiba site (the one from september).
What can I do to fix this? The automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
Any help is appreciated.

Hm, sounds tricky.
I can suggest you the following:
Download the latest bios for your machine from the toshiba download site:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
And last but not least, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it up with a can with compressed air to remove the dust from the fan and the heatpipe-fin.
If you have some questions, just ask.
Nice weekend

Lenovo z5070 graphics card issue 'nvidia'

i bought a new laptop .. i have windows 8.1 ... Z5070 - Graphics cards issue (Unable to play heavy graphic games. Nvidia Card) Z5070 with Nvidia Graphic card is having problem when playing high graphic games. The Nvidia graphic card is not detected and it is only using the Intel Graphic card.i install latest updates for everything.what is the problem pllz i want to play games

Hi abdallah650, By default the graphic cards used by computer are switched automatically, depend of application to run. You can check and change this for each application in NVidia Control Panel - 3D settings.
Also you can run each application with right click on it and choose the prefered graphic card. Read this article: switching between Intel and NVidia graphics and here. I hope that will help you.

Graphic card issue

Hello everybody! I've just read about a graphic card issue of mid-2011 iMac and replacement program.
As I am an owner of one of these computers and I'm living in Israel, and in Israel no one has heard about this issue - my question is if there is a real problem? Thanks in advance

Bring a copy of that page to your authorized service center, and the link to it.
Sadly, Apple did not put it on:

which would be the normal place to address such programs.

Qosmio X300-14P : Graphic card issues and vertical stripes on display

Hi,
2 days ago, after a long notebook session of many many hours, suddenly after playing for 2 hours the game
Patrician 4 addon, it crashed in a strange and never seen before way:
The display would show strange and weird colours in all forms rushing over ther display. You could not recognize anything anymore, and after a few seconds of this the screen and the x300-14P completely froze/crashed (hung - no reaction on anything except power plug pull and/or 5 seconds push of ther power button).
I was afraid since this to me looked like a serious issue of either graphic card (nvidia chip) or display.
I hoped it was because of heat (though i have a powerful cooling pad below the notebook and heat shouldnt be a problem).
Next day (yesterday) I launched the game immediately after startup, and after a few seconds the same crash appeared again with the same strange video glitches (never saw something strange like that before).
I immediately did the 5 second power button press reset,. and then, when the first boot screen appears (the bios display hint and the loading/booting screen), there were like 2-7 vertical white stripes (on the black background) on the right side of the screen.
They wouldn't move nor go away.
I immediately turned the notebook off and it is off since then.
To me this looks really serious, as if either nvidia chip (Geforce 9800-GTX) is broken or the display.
Does anyone know something about this ?
Has anyone heard of such a problem ?
Who knows more ?
I know, i can now connect an external monitor.
If there is no problem, this should mean that it is a x300 display problem
If the problem also appears on the external monitor, it is the nvidia gpu chip. That would be at least my guess.
Has anyone any idea about this, what it might be and what i could do ?
(i am afraid sending the x300 in to toshiba for fixing is not worth it, as it is pretty old
(it was purchased new in june 2009). fixing it is probably too expensive.
Any ideas about hthis problem ?
I never had it before.
Who can help ?
Thanks
P.S:
I was thinlking about buying the new qosmio X870, but i just saw it has no express card slot, which i need for various expansion modules (like tv and video equipment, more e-sata cards etc.pp.).
Without an express card slot i wouldn't buy any notebook, i need this slot urgently (it is like a pci-express card connection slot in a desktop pc).
To me the express card slot is vital.
Too bad many notebooks dont have it anymore.
So io might need my x300 for some time,
but what shoudl i do abpout this new strange video chip/display problem ?

Hi,
yes.
even windows has now deactivated the whole graphic card, saying it was deactivated because
it reported an error - CODE 43 .
the stripes are still there at boot screen and bios screen, they go away though as soon as windows loads,
but this has deacvtivated the nvidia chip (the nvidia device driver software wouldnt start at all, it says : no nvidia gpu connected (since it was deactivated by windows 7)).
looks like i have to send the x300 to toshiba for repair (maybe even mainboard replacement).
who knows how i can find the local toshiba repair company ?
whom can i call in
FRANKFURT AM MAIN
GERMANY
to get my toshiba notebook repaired ?
if someone has the adress and even better telephone nummber, i would be happy.
a second question, by the way :
did someone of you ever replace the mainboard in a toshiba X300 / X305 ?
how expensive was that ?
thanks

HP Probook 6560b Graphics Card issue

Dear all,
First off... sorry for the long story...
Somebody has to explain this to me as I do not know what is going on.
I have a Probook 6560b laptop which has a AMD Radeon HD 7400M series graphics card.
Last saturday while I was messing around in Windows 8.1 Pro my screen suddenly went crazy. It looked like the screen you see on hacked computers in the movies. Everywhere pixelated.
I thought nothing of it and did a hard reboot. Laptop worked afterwards no problem.
Monday going to work my laptop screen started to go crazy again. I could not understand what was the issue. Everywhere pixels going from left to right and back and forth.
Then it happened. Blue Screen Of Death with the error : VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE.
I shut down my computer. Waited for a couple of seconds and turned it on. Screen was not working. Not even the bootloader with the HP logo wasn't showing.
I disconnected the charger, pulled out the battery and pressed the on off button for about a minute. Placed the battery back, turned the laptop on and screen got back.
But this was the beginning of many pixel error and frustration. Long story short (as up till now it has been a short story) screen did not come back on again and windows gave me a BSOD with error message VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE.
At this point I was convinced it was an hardware issue. I am guilty of playing games which gives a heavy load on the GPU.
When I connect an external monitor to my laptop I could see the screen but windows still gave BSOD.
Logged into safe mode... made a backup and installed windows 8.1 again. Aha everything was working... now ready to install the drivers...
The moment I installed the GPU drivers again BSOD with VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. This is an hardware issue... I gave up fixing it... logged in safe mode... set the drivers to work with the normal display adapter.
So I was now working with a laptop screen that wasn't working... and a external screen hooked up to my laptop. I was looking to replace the chip on my laptop (which is 216-0809024 for those who are interested).
I know what you're thinking... It's an hardware issue... you know what the problem is ... go fix it...
Now comes the weird part:
Today I installed a couple of software on my laptop and it needed to reboot. So I said yes and the laptop was rebooting... Suddenly the screen of my laptop turned on and showed everything like it was normal.
Already given up on the chip I figured this must be a fluke... so I did a shut down... and started my laptop again...
Laptop screen was working...
*scratching my head at this point
So then I thought what would happen if I install the drivers... So I installed the drivers...
Laptop screen was still working...
*still scratching my head...
I have to shut down and reboot the computer... the GPU must be going crazy... So laptop shut down and reboot...
Laptop screen was still working...
*still scratching my head...
Installed 3D Benchmark... to see what is going on... All test at 60 FPS...
The GPU is working again and screen is working...
I have no clue what is going on and no clue how this can happen... After 3 days of not having a working GPU I suddenly have a perfectly fine GPU...
So I had to come with my story and had to ask someone... what the f???
Can someone explain this to me?
Sorry for the long story...

After working for about 5 hours straight with no errors...
Screen died on me again... Funny thing was that it did not die on me while testing the gpu...
It died on me when I was remotely connected with another laptop using RealVNC...

Graphics card issues code 43

First of all, i have a dell inspiron 530. Using a GeForce 8300 gs graphics card and have vista 32 bit operating system.
I have been having problems with my graphics card lately. I just recently was having issues with it. I would be playing a game and everything would run great untill randomly one day, random colored squares appeared on my screen and flashed my monitor off then back on. When it flashed back on it was fine for a bit then it did it again. The next time i turned on my computer, i cheked my driver settings and it said it has stopped working, error code 43. I called geek squad, which is where my warranty is at, and took my computer in. They took the computer for 3 weeks, (which sucked by the way), and replaced the graphics card, and ran diagnostics. When i got it back, which was the other day, i turned on a video game. It ran fine for about five minutes then the screen turned itself off and went into power save mode. I could not turn it back on unless i restarted teh computer. After doing so i checked the driver settings again and the error code 43 was back. Anyone have an idea of what could be causing this. I have seen forums this site for similar problems, but nothing seems to be working. Pls help.
btw sorry for the length of the post

got the same trouble , +- same pc specc as above mention , help pls

[UNSOLVED] Graphics Card Issues with Intel 945GSE

I have several issues and im not sure if they are related to the same reason. But I think it all has to do with my graphics card not being detected right.
I have a Samsung N310 with 1,6 Ghz and 2Gb RAM and am using Gnome. If i go to "System settings --> System information" it shows me "Graphics: unknown".
Since my new installation i dont have an xorg.conf anymore, and i did not experience any disadvantages yet, but before my graphics card was detected as following in the xorg.conf:
"Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)"
In the Gnome System information it was not listed though, like now.
This is not really a problem, but it made me think that my other issues could be related to the card being not detected right.
Here are my real problems:
When i am watching a video on my external monitor i have slight lags, which are really annoying to me,
because im a big fan of a good picture!
It is explicitly visible during pan shots or when cars a moving from the one side of the picture to the other.
And the larger the file is, the worse it gets... The lag with dvds or large mkv-files is even worse and not watchable anymore!
My machine should be capable of running a film on fullscreen on an external monitor though, at least it does under XP on the same screen. Flawlessly!! And since arch is a minimal system, it should work! I am experiencing these problems with gnome2 and xfce as well, so it cant be related to gnome3!
Im also experiencing lags with the Gnome shell, for example when i move my mouse to the activities button in the upper-left corner or when i am moving windows with the mouse.
And last but not least firefox is very laggy while scrolling. But since even users with faster machines experience slight problems of that matter with firefox, i dont think that this problem is related to my card.
I could stand the issues with the Gnome shell and firefox, but i at least want to be able to watch a film with my computer!
I hope that my computer isnt simply to slow...

HAHA!! The trick was not to enable VSync but to disable it!
I just changed the SwapBuffersWait Option to "false".
I have around 300 FPS now and my video lag problem is GONE!!! Thanks for the tips! I will mark this solved now!
Well, that's a surprise for me. I had to enable VSync to stop video tearing with my Intel HD 3000 GPU (Sandy Bridge).
From the Intel xorg driver man page:
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "boolean"
This option controls the behavior of glXSwapBuffers and glXCopySubBufferMESA calls by GL
applications. If enabled, the calls will avoid tearing by making sure the display scanline is
outside of the area to be copied before the copy occurs. If disabled, no scanline
synchronization is performed, meaning tearing will likely occur. Note that when enabled, this
option can adversely affect the framerate of applications that render frames at less than
refresh rate.
Default: enabled.
Glad you got it sorted!

Non NVidia graphics card issues with Adobe and Mountain Lion

It took me a while to figure it out, but now I am certain. If using a Mac with a non nvidia graphics card there will be issues in Mountain Lion while using Adobe products. I tested this with Illustrator CS6 for over a year on 5 different Mac computers.
Here is what happens
As soon as I open Illustrator on a Mac without a NVidia graphics card and I attend to apply an shadow effect, Illustrator crashes. If I do this procedure on a Mac with a NVidia inside, all works well.
I tested this on the following Macs
MacBook Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia 9600M GT - it works
MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with Radeon 6750M - doesn't work
Mac Pro (Early 2009) with Radeo HD 5770 - doesn't work
The same Mac Pro (Early 2009) with NVidia GT120 - it works
MacBook Air (Mid 2012) with Intel HD 4000 - doesn't work
iMac (Late 2012) with NVidia 680MX - it works
Since I owned all these Macs, I could test it several times with different kind of software updates. 10.8, 10.8.1, 10.8.2 and 10.8.3 did deliver the same result. Everytime the same result.
Already got in touch with Adobe
With Illustrator CS5 it worked like a charme, so I assumed it could be an Adobe issue. But Adobe support told me, it's Apple's fault since 10.8 uses different processes for the graphics performance.
What can be done, to resolve this issue? I cannot buy only Macs with NVidia inside, since the small portable front of Macs is only coming with Intel graphics cards. And is there anybody out there, having this issue? I cannot be the only one, using shadows in Illustrator.

With Illustrator CS5 it worked like a charme, so I assumed it could be an Adobe issue. But Adobe support told me, it's Apple's fault since 10.8 uses different processes for the graphics performance.
A typical response. IMO it's most likely a combination of Adobe's reluctance to fix the issue combined with Apple's desire for advancement and change. I've personally experienced several things that've become broken owing to Apple changing fundamental aspects of the OS, and the developers of the third-party software in question have either never fixed their software, or are taking their sweet time. WireTap Studio and Snapz Pro from Ambrosia are a case in point, though they eventually fixed Snapz Pro. Eventually…
Frankly, good luck getting either side to do anything about this. Your best bet is probably getting in touch with AppleCare and seeing if you can get this escalated to Engineering, but I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix from either party. Or perhaps one of the Apple mailing lists will prove useful.
