Nvidia GeForce 650m 2GB fried graphics card

Hello, I'm posting because I've had ALOT of issues with my Nvidia GeForce 650m Graphics Card. I originally bought an HP Pavillion DV6 7014nr. I'm not sure what exactly is causing the issue, but something is causing the computer to kill the graphics card. Currently I have had the graphics card replaced 3 times on the DV6 and each time it has died. The first one lasted the longest uptill November. (I purchased it in August). Then it was sent off, they fixed a bunch of stuff, but not the card, sent it off again in December, got it fixed and it died within the week. I sent it off, got it fixed, and it died within 3 hours of having the computer. Sent it off again and that one died within a day of having it. Now HP finally replaced the entire computer, with a Envy DV6 7000 Quad Edition, with the same card. I got it on Monday and as of yesterday aka Tuesday it died. Now this card should be capable of running almost any game on high, yet it dies on these little games on low. The game I noticed it has had the biggest issue of dying on is Starcraft 2, but there has been no reports of issues since 2010, and Blizzard has said there are no known issues. I have played SWTOR, DCUO, Aion, SC2, and S4 League. I have tried everything, updating to the latest drivers, updating the BIOS, keeping the fan open and cool, putting an external fan and lowering the graphics. Nothing seems to work. I really don't know what to do, I have tried EVERYTHING that I can possible think of and I'm running out of options. The computer is covered under warrenty, but I'm really getting tired of having my computer gone for week at a time and the issue still continues to happen. I would really appreciate any input, or if anyone else is having the same issue. I am pretty tech savvy, so if there are some "Advanced things" that I might have to try, I should be able to handle them.
The error code I get from the device manager is an Error code 43 :Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). And when I click on the Nvidia control panel it says NVIDIA DISPLAY SETTINGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU.
Thanks in advance!

Here is my current configureation. 
Windows 8 64
3rd generation Intel Core i7-3630QM Processor (2.4GHz, 6MB L3 Cache)
NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 650M Graphics with 2GB GDDR 5 video memory

Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner
HP TrueVision HD Webcam with integrated dual array digital microphone
Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth(R)
Backlit Keyboard
My problem is that I keep getting an error 43 code in the device manager and the nvidia control panel says "You are not currently using a display attached to a Nvidia GPU. The Bios version F.13 IS NOT WORKING. The F.0A worked for my computer that was running windows 7 and had the same error. I tried updating everything, but this computer is on windows 8 and its not working. I need a bios version that is working with windows 8. The F.22 version is known to cause errors. So far every HP support tech that I have spoken to has not been helpful, so I'm hoping someone on here has a solution.
Thanks in advance!!!

  • Is nVidia geForce 8400: 512 mb Graphic card supports openGL?

    Hi Guys, I am using nVidia geForce 8400: 512 mb Graphic card. could some please tell me whether this card is supports openGL? because when I tried in photoshop it is in disable. I can not able to enable. So kindly give your suggestions.
    HARI

    In the world of video cards, the nVidia geForce 8400 is ancient, slow, and outdated.  On a scale where the fastest modern cards benchmark in the vicinity of 3000, the geForce 8400 measured out at 160 (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/).
    Do yourself a favor and buy a modern video card mesauring at least 1500 on that scale (see the High End Video Card page).  They're not that expensive!  Your entire system will pick up speed, and Photoshop can really scream.

  • Does the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro 2.6-GHz version have the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

    Topic title pretty much says it all. I want the 15-inch 2.6-GHz version with the Nvidia GeForce GT 750M discrete graphics or is it just the 2.3-GHz version?

    Yes, I have. The hardware specs are shown for this model, but when you dig further into purchasing it, it doesn't list the graphics cards under "hardware".
    My main concern came from reading somewhere (maybe on this forum) that some guy said he chose the 2.3 version so he could get the discrete graphics. I thought all 15inch 2.3 and above had both:
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M

  • NVidia Settings for Two Different Graphics Cards?

    I just built a new system for video editing with Adobe CC 2014 including both the Quadro K4000 AND the GeForce GTX780 DirectCU II OC graphics cards. I was wondering what are the best settings in the NVidia control panel for apps such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, Speedgrade, Encore, etc. I see that there are global settings and app specific settings.
    One question I have concerns the CUDA cores. Should I select one graphics card over the other or use the global (all) setting? How does that work? For CUDA, if I select Global, does the system decide automatically which card to use or does it combine the CUDA cores of both cards?? Seems like an important distinction.
    Also, I have two monitors: ASUS PA279 (2560x1440) and a JVC PS-420W (1920x1080) How should these be connected to the computer for best performance and picture quality? Should I use DVI or HDMI connections?
    And, of course, the Quadro K4200 just appeared on the market, which offers almost double the CUDA cores and 4 GB RAM instead of 3 GB on the K4000. Should I return the K4000 and replace with the K4200? price difference not much.
    The rest of my system includes:
    Processor - Intel i7-4930k 6-core 3.4 GHz
    Motherboard - ASUS P9X79-E WS
    RAM - Corsair Dominator 2133 DDR3 64 GB
    System drive - Intel SSD 530 Series 240 GB
    Storage - WD Black 16TB (4x4TB) RAID 0
    UPDATE - I wrote to PNY because it's their Quadro K4000 card, and this was their reply to me:
    Hi Alex,
    Thank you very much for using our NVIDIA Quadro by PNY professional graphics boards, and for contacting PNY Quadro Support.
    Our NVIDIA Quadro K4000 is an excellent choice for supporting Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for video editing. 
    Forgive me, but we do not recommend installing Quadro and GeForce graphics boards together in the same configuration.  That does not mean that you cannot do it, and honestly, in Windows 7, it may actually be OK to have both cards installed (each with its own driver), but we still do not recommend it, and do not support it. 
    Furthermore, I support Quadro products only, not GeForce products, so I do not have a lot more to say about the GeForce card, other than to say that GeForce cards are intended for use supporting games and home use, while Quadro graphics boards are intended for use in workstations, supporting professional applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud 2014.
    I recommend installing the Quadro K4000 into the primary (top) PCIe x16 slot, and to install the latest ODE graphics driver for it:
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77637/en-us
    I recommend using the default settings in NVIDIA control panel.  The system will use the card in the primary slot. While Adobe CC applications are multi-GPU aware, and designed to automatically use the second GPU to improve performance, I feel more confident that you will see a benefit by using a second Quadro card in the secondary PCIe slot.  I do not know whether Adobe CC will use the GeForce GPU to boost performance, or not (as again, this is not supported or recommended). 
    For the Asus PA279, I recommend using a DisplayPort (DP) 1.2 cable (or perhaps a dual-link DVI cable) to connect it to the K4000.  I recommend using a single-link DVI cable (or perhaps a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, together with an HDMI cable) to connect the JVC PS-420W to the K4000.

    What a stubborn machine! Whenever I set the CUDA setting to GTX780 and hit 'Apply' it would jump back to the Quadro. Even after changing the Global setting to the GTX780 and back to Premiere it would do that. After a few times, it finally changed to what I wanted. Now Premiere, AE and Speedgrade are set to GTX780 for CUDA. However, there is a graph that shows GPU Utilization and it shows the Quadro still doing the brunt of the work - about 50-60% compared to the GTX at 5-8%. I suppose that's a different setting I need to change?
    I had both monitors connected to the Quadro. I just put the 2nd display on the GTX. Does it matter? And does it matter what connector type - HDMI, DVI, etc.?
    I set the BIOS to Gen 3 for the slots that the GPUs are in. And enabled 'Above 4G Decoding'. That Quadro is a PCI E 2.0 card. I see a 'little bit' of performance improvement playing back 3 layers of video with effects Magic Bullet Looks and different blending modes. It does not like the Neat Video noise reducer and some of the other effects, though. Still pretty crippled. Maybe a hard drive issue? I've got a 4 x 4 TB RAID 0 WD Black series on the onboard controller. 64 GB RAM is plenty.

  • Nvidia Geforce 650m driver problem for windows 8.1 on macbook pro

    Hey guys. I installed windows 8.1 on my macbook pro (mid2012, Intel core i7, retina, Geforce 650m) of course only for game, but I have a disappointing problem with the graphics driver. First I tried to instal graphics card driver by bootcamp (not the last version, the one before the last) .It started to install drivers one by one starting with graphics card, but suddenly the screen got black and remained black forever! I restarted the windows and guess what! after windows logo it got black and nothing more! Then I installed windows again and tried to install driver from windows update. It checked for update and found the driver for it and downloaded it and started to install, but again the black screen !!! Please help me thanks.

    no this does not work. bootcamp drivers are broken for windows 8.1 on an efi install. apple is withholding the discreet gpu drivers from microsoft to trick people into thinking osx is more stable/efficient and thus windows cannot detect which gpu it is supposed to use when it can see both. the discreet gpu is hidden in the fake bios setup that bootcamp wants you to install with. the problem with doing this is that the more powerful gpu is all you can use in windows so the computer runs more hot and is louder which is annoying and hard on the battery life.
    thanks apple, if i knew that when i bought the laptop i would have gone with something else.
    This is not correct. If you force an EFI installation on a preUEFI Mac, you will see GPU and Audio errors. A non-EFI Hybrid MBR installation works correctly. Does Windows have the ability to switch GPUs? OS X, using external monitors, uses the non-Intel discreet GPU and the machine does not run hot. If Windows can provide dual-GPU support (which they have) and also provide GPU-switching (missing), this can be done. Can it be done for older hardware, highly unlikely. MacRumors has threads with PCI Register changes to expose the Intel GPU and the machine still runs hotter.

  • Looking for Nvidea GeForce 6600 OR Similar Graphics Card for Quad G5 PPC

    Hi there!
    Wishing a Happy New Year to yo'all!
    Was wondering whether someone might help me out with a minor issue I'm having...
    I have recently acquired a Quad 2.5GHz PPC G5 (with PCIe). When I bought it, it came installed with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card, which works just fine. Heard these cards are very good for 3D rendering, etc...
    However... As I am an audio engineer, I don't need a flashy graphics card... Instead I need "flashy" sound cards...
    I have two PCIe UAD-2 Quad cards for all my UAD plugin needs within Logic Pro... And I have PCIe Symphony X card for my Apogee (AD16X & DA16X) front end sound conversion. All which sound and work very well... So far so good!
    But here's the problem... My Quad PPC has 4 PCIe slots, which should be fine for my arrangement i.e. one slot for graphics card, one for PCIe Symphony card, two for UAD-2 Quad cards... BUT the damnable NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 takes up two PCIe slots!!!
    I have looked on line to find out what the Quad 2.5GHz G5 PPC was originally supplied with: an Apple OEM Nvidea GeForce 6600. However these are rare and hard to come by now-a-days... And I can't wait forever till one pops up for sale.
    So... Can anyone recommend to me a graphics card that will work in the Quad 2.5GHz G5 PPC... AND take up only one PCIe slot and be able to run a 30 inch DVI Apple display i.e. it needs two DVI ports???
    I'd even do an out right swap for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 and a good condition and working Apple OEM Nvidea GeForce 6600!? Heard this is more than a fair deal...
    Cheers in advance!

    Hi-
    You can buy a Geforce 6600LE at We Love Macs. They aren't cheap, though.
    This eBay seller has several of the 6600LE cards, at a much better price. The seller is very reliable (from experience) and carries the positive feedback to support my recommendation.
    This 7800GT is also a good possibility. It takes only one slot, and provides much better performance than the 6600LE.
    This flashed 7800GT is also an option. A flashed card is one that has the PC ROM replaced with Mac ROM. Again, this seller knows his stuff.....
    As with the 6600LE, the 7800GT has a dual link DVI to support the 30" ACD.
    After you get a replacement card, might try and get a few quid for the FX 4500 on eBay.
    An original will sell better than the flashed models that are selling there.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 650M Code 43 Error on Pavilion dv6t

    Hi all,
    I have recently been browsing in my Device Manager window and found that under display adaptors my NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics adapter has a yellow flag on it. When I open the device, the device status reads:
    "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
    I have tried reinstalling every possible driver for the 650M but nothing seems to work. Windows seems to be defaulting to the on-board Intel HD Graphics 4000 and I cannot disable it while enabling the 650M. I talked with HP tech support who said to go into my BIOS and disable the HD graphics BUT BUT BUT my BIOS had no settings to change the boot-up graphics device.
    Any help would be great.
    My setup includes:
    -Pavilion dv6
    -BIOS version F.13 (Insyde)

  • T430, disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS, no graphic card can be found in Windows

    I try to use my T430 minidisplayport to connect with external display. But it is so unstable that the connection between laptop and display can lost anytime. That is so annoying. I use Nvidia control panel in Windows to force use NVS5400M instead of HD4000, but it seems doesn't change anything.
    I heard if I select the discrete graphic card in BIOS, then it may fix the display connection lost problem. Then I go to the BIOS and  set the "discrete", and disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS Config Display (This is necessary otherwise the laptop will change it back to Optimus automatically.). But after I log into Windows, then no graphic card can be found, Why? How should I fix this problem?
    The external display issue in T430 is so annoying. The VGA suffers very serious noise while the minidisplay is so unstable. Even worse, there is no any lenovo staff stand out to help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If anyone has experience, please share that.
    Thank so much.

    Hello Mark, thanks for help. Please see my answers below:
    1. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
    2. Yes, I did. The BIOS is latest (2.65). The NVS5400M driver is 333.02.
    3. My display is Asus MX239, which only has HDMI. I use an adapter cable: miniDP->HDMI and then an HDMI-HDMI cable I try to connect to a Samsung TV, but similar. I don't have a miniDP to HDMI cable. I just order one but has not get it.
    Sorry that I post in multiple threads. As I mentioned in that thread, let me conclude all these here.
    After I disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS, then I istalled the NVS5400M 333.11 driver. Then the NVS5400 can be found in Windows. But the displayport problem still exist. It is still very very difficult to detect external monitor (this means in most cases I can't switch to external display), and even sometimes it works, the connection can lost anytime.
    Even worse, I found a new problem, that if I disconnect my T430 with power supply, then I can see the "pink bar" appear and disappear in the laptop screen (not external monitor) repetitively, quickly. I have never seen this problem before, only after I install NVS 333.11. Then I reinstall the 333.02 driver. Then I enabled the "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS again. The "pink bar" issue gone. It looks like the issue is caused by 333.11 driver. But this driver comes from Nvidia offical driver download website.
    So now the most important thing I need help is, I need to have a stable solution to connect external display. In T430, there are only two ports for external display:
    1. VGA
    2. MiniDisplayPort
    Please help me following questions:
    1. When I try to use VGA, I can see very very bad noise in external display. This issue also be posted in previous thread in forum. This should be a hardware design failure. Is there any solution to fix this that I can use VGA without noise in external display?
    2. My T430 has both HD4000 and NVS5400M, if I need to use miniDP (which is I prefer, I have digital port why I use VGA.) for display. Does miniDP only work when the NVS5400 is used (it looks like that)?
    3. If miniDP only works NVS5400, so how should I configure to ensure the T430 use NVS5400 all the time? Do I have to disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS or I can switch using Nvidia Control panel in windows ?
    4. Would you please provide me a configuration for T430 (include BIOS, and setting in Nvidia Control panel) that can support stable external display thru miniDP? Include driver versions and BIOS version.
    5. What are potential reasons that the external display can't be detected and can lost connection anytime with T430? To be noted, I already set to use NVS5400 in Nvidia Control panel. The case is also same I disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS. I think cable may be a issue.
    Thanks again.

  • Fade-off with MSI T-128 (nVidia geForce FX 5200) PCI card

    Hi
    I'm totally fade-off with nVidia GeForce FX 5200 (MSI -T128) graphics PCI card. I've tried all options found on different forums and also with latest driver for the card both from MSI and nVidia. But non of these are able to solve my problem.
    Even though, I have installed the latest driver for the card form nVidia or MSI, my system gives BSOD (infinite loop) on XP and system hang on Ubuntu/Linux. Request you to please help me out for this problem. Its dam sure something wrong in the card driver or BIOS settings as its occurring with any OS.
    This is my last ray of hope, with a expection that some MSI people will help me out, else I'll have to throw the f**king card to bin. Sorry being unprofessional, but it seems that I have wasted my money banking on the brand MSI/nVidia.
    PC Configuration:
    1. Asus K8N motherboard (nVidia chipset, NO on-board graphics)
    2. MSI T-128 (nVidia GeForce FX 5200) PCI graphics card
    3. Windows XP SP3/ Ubuntu 9.04
    4. 512 MB DDR1 RAM
    5. 320GB, 7200 rpm Seagate ATA HDD
    6. AMD Athlon XP 2800+
    Again request the nVidia people plz plz plz .. help me.
    Note that, When I'm booting with safe mode in XP, the PC DOES NOT hangs.
    Thank you in advance.

    Its followed by "Sorry being unprofessional". But when my hard earning money draining, its obvious. Anyway, Do you have answer to my request ? Or only guiding me for proper language ? If you have ans plz give me too.

  • Installing new graphics card in hp p7-1155

    I have a new EVGA GEFORCE GT730 2GB GDDR5 graphics card and am ready to install it in the above box.
    Haggiscat suggested this board thru a previous post on this site. I have printed out the install directions from the hp help so I have the mechanics of how to install this thing. Those directions say to disable the on-board graphics card first, then go into the box and install the new card. My question is: Do I need to do anything else first such as downloading the driver first/delete the old driver first.etc? Also, I have a disc that came with the new card. Do I use that to get the drivers or go to the invidia website? I want this install to go as smoothly as possible so expert help would be appreciated.
    I'm not sure how to direct you to the previous post but it's in this section. Take a look for some background.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    I suggest that your carefully read the instructions published by EVGA.   I have multiple EVGA graphics cards and none of the directions ever suggested to uninstall the old video drivers prior to installing the new graphics card.  Use the drinver disk that comes with the graphics card after your boot up. The default Windows drivers will work and then you can install the EVGA supplied drivers.  EVGA also has a web site that you can obtain later drivers that have been tested by EVGA for your graphics card.
    The modern HP motherboards will automatically switch to the discrete graphics card if detected and if it is compatible with the BIOS and motherboard.
    The NVIDIA 7xx series graphic cards have been problematic with HP motherboards using a version 7 BIOS.  some may work and some may not work.
    The reality is that there is no a guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in my aluminum 13-inch Macbook (Late 2008)?

    My 13-inch Macbook (Late 2008) currently uses the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card, but I want to upgrade it, so that I can play games at a higher quality. Is this possible? If so, what graphics cards are compatible with my Macbook (Late 2008)?
    Thank you.

    The graphics card on a MacBook is part of the logic board not a separate card so it can't be upgraded.

  • I sit possible to upgrade the graphics card in my Macbook Pro?

    I own a macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core duo, 4gb ram with NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB graphics card. I'm finding this graphics card pretty shocking when it comes to even the simplest of 3D games...i know probably my fault for choosing a laptop not suitable for gaming but still i did expect it to be able to handle graphics like on football manager.
    Anyway my question is, is there any way to upgrade my graphics card and how much would it cost?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I wouldn't expect Skype or iWork to be a problem. I don't know Spotify.
    Have you used Disk Utility to correct permissions? This is a routine maintenance procedure that can improve some things. If you are not familiar with using this utility it's sufficient to see at the end 'permissions repair complete' or similar. There are likely to be some messages saying certain things couldn't be corrected but usually these are not serious issues.
    The other thing to watch is whether you are running on battery power or mains. When there is intensive processor activity & some other internal activities too the computer might need mains power to perform at its best. You can try various things on battery alone then on battery & mains together and compare performance.
