Optiplex 9020, Intel 4600 + AMD video card = bluescreens and other issues for dual monitors

Our organization purchased a number of 9020s with the onboard Intel and the AMD 8490
Over time, many of these systems would experience video issues. Originally they were configured with one monitor was plugged into the intel VGA and the 2nd monitor was plugged into the AMD DVI. output
Among the issues were bluescreens. When dragging something from one monitor to another, there would either be another bluescreen or other graphical glitches. Despite uninstalling/reinstalling both drivers these issues would persist. Eventually we tried moving both monitors to the Intel outputs, issue still persisted, then we tried moving all the monitors to the AMD ports, issue still persisted. Eventually we removed the AMD card entirely. That seems to have corrected the graphics issues. That being said, I don't think the issue is faulty hardware, about a dozen systems have exhibited this issue so I am doubting that each one of them all have faulty hardware. I suspect a driver problem somewhere. The Intel driver and/or the AMD driver don't seem to play well with each other.
This issue has persisted across both the AMD 8490 and the AMD R7 250 cards.
Our organization is locked into certain configurations, so at present, we are unable to order PCs without the extra card. The extra card hasn't been needed once onboard cards started gaining the ability to do multiple monitors.

Win7 64 bit. We haven't had the blue screen in a while so I don't have the specific message, but it did reference an AMD file. Drivers have been uninstalled/reinstalled numerous times.
Latest issue is that when the user steps away from the computer and the monitor goes into powersave after 30 minutes, when the user returns the monitors will turn on, but the screen stays dark.

Msi video card n240gt and n9800gt problems with output HDMI

Hello to all
I have a problem I just bought a new Video card because I needed HDMI output. The previous card I have is a BFG Ge Force 8800GT 512 DDR2 running @ 1920x1080p 60Hz which works perfectly the only downside is it does not have HDMI out with 5.1. Now i installed the n240GT 512 DDR5 and tried watching BD ripped to the HDD and playing them back all i get now it jerking lagging bad also and have horizontal red and green lines scattered across the screen.Which i did not have with my 8800GT card thinking its a bad card so i bought another card from another dealer this time its a MSI N9800GT 1gig DDR3 and still the same problem.I Checked the resolution and its set to 1920x1080P refresh at 60Hz,i also changed the Hz to 24Hz and it cleaned up the lines but not all and picture still jerky picture. I have a MSI K9N NEO V3 Motherboard and all drivers updated current Bios. l used a DVI cable 40ft long with my Ge Force 8800GT and every thing worked fine, once I installed the new MSI Video cards N240gt and N9800GT I have the above problems and using a 50FT HDMI cable. I have a Samsung PN50A550 with 3 HDMI inputs 1 has my BluRay player hooked up with HDMI running at 1920x1080P at 60Hz and crystal clear picture no problems, input 2 has my HD Bell receiver running at same specs as input 1 no problems I tried the other HDMI inputs from the Samsung TV from the HDMI out from the card same thing. It has to be the cards that can`t support the TV what else can it be if not the MSI cards. Please respond ASAP Thanks Thumpalong

You may want to borrow and test with another PSU.
We always recommend Corsair and Seasonic
I can't find anything on Topower other than that opinion piece of linked... getting frustrated. Most of the time I can find detailed info on most psu's not this time, so best to borrow and test.
Assuming of course that the older VGA's worked fine.

I work for a teaching hospital. We are using groups of 20 to 30 iPads for access to patient electronic records, video conferencing software, and other, HIPPA compliant apps. I need to be able to access the iPads to shut down and erase in case of loss.

I work for a teaching hospital. I have started a program to place Physicians and key support personnel on iPads for electonic medical records, video conferencing software, and other HIPPA compliant issue. I have a need to have one central program that can push out updates, other information, but most importantly, can erase the iPad in cases of loss or stolen. Can anyone direct me to such software.
Thanks,

High Temp. AMD Video Card

Hello,i bought my Lenovo B50-70 Laptop at 3/1/2015 (at the begin of the new year)its Spec: Intel Core i7 4510U 2GHz4 GB Ram500 GB HDD ( Toshiba)Video Card:Intel HD Graphics ( i think that it is Intel HD 4400)AMD Radeon R5 M230 i installed the newest driver for the AMD graphics card from the web site of AMD 15.5 (Beta)it showed up that my card is M8500 and its wrong but no problem with itYesterday i was opening PES 13 it told me that my Laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirement (GPU:VRAM 128)i opened the settings of it and it told me that the Card is just 32 MB !!!and the game can't runi checked its Temp. from the Speecy Program it showed up that my Laptop's graphics card (AMD) is 511 !!! i want a solution for it please thanks and sorry for the too much writing Screen Shots:

The temperature sensor is obviously wrong I found mine reads that too when the amd graphics are not active. as for the ram that is dynamicly assigned to either the intel or amd graphics you will need to make sure your pro soccer is set to max performance in the switching graphics setting so it uses the amd gpu... the ram should get assigned to it when it is active...

Video Card Upgradeable and Video card drivers?????

Hello apple community. I frequently use my intel 20" imac for games by using Bootcamp (IT OWNS!!!!) to switch to Windows XP. I have been running Steam games with about 40-50 fps on all high settings except anti aliasing is set at x8 CSAA instead of the max, x16 CSAA. I know my graphics card can get more frames than x8. I blame the drivers. Where can I find good ATI drivers?
Also, I want a new video card, but is it possible to upgrade your video card on the imac? is it really soldered on to the motherboard????

Are there any news or updates to this? I'm thinking of buying the 24" iMac which sports an ATI HD 2600 Pro video card, but as AMD/ATI has revealed, they will be releasing the HD 3850 and 3870 in mobile versions soon and so I wonder if iMac will get an upgrade to these in stock or if I can do an upgrade myself after I buy it, or while I configure it in the Apple Store (or at a local Apple retailer).
I currently have a home-built PC and use it mostly for casual gaming, programming and graphical stuff (Adobe, typically). I'd love to have an iMac to do all of these things on, but the video card is currently a bit behind in terms of raw performance; otherwise the 24" iMac is a great machine. So I'd love to upgrade the video card, however it's possible (if it is), or at least get an indication of when the HD 2600 will be replaced with a HD 3870 or 3850. Does anyone know?

I installed a new video card onto my computer...the monitor wont work!!!?

So I got a new GPU (VGA MSI NX8800GT 512M OC RT). I installed it last night and plugged the monitor into it...I know the computer sees it because the LED light turns green, then it goes to sleep. So I figure that maybe the GPU is incompatible with my motherboard, so I put my old one back in and the same thing happens!!! Anyone know what can cause this?!?!

Test with mainboard out of PC case:
Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
• With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
• Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.
If no change try with different better and well known working PSU

Video card news and CS5 / MPE

With the upcoming launch of CS5 and the Mercury Playback Engine, this may be interesting.
Side note: We do not yet know whether FERMI cards will be supported.
The GTX480 has simply the fastest GPU. An average speed gain of about 15 percent from the HD 5870. The ATI costs around $ 400, while for Nvidia's latest about $ 500 is to be paid. So far there is not anything remarkable, because in hardware land there is a premium for the fastest of the fastest in our homes.
The HD 5970 throws a spanner in the works. This dual-GPU card actually leaves the GTX480 in the dust, the performance of ATI's top model is on average around 35 percent better. The HD 5970 is again one hundred U.S. dollars more expensive than the GTX480, but both the HD 5870 and HD 5970 offer more performance per dollar.
There are obviously more factors than price-performance ratio. The GTX480 however loses when it comes to energy usage, even when the benefits are taken into consideration. Indeed, energy consumption is only marginally lower than that of the faster HD 5970. The associated noise is also a drawback; here the HD 5870 and HD 5970 cards are the clear winners.
Then there's more to be considered. AMD now has the Eyefinity technique with which three displays can be controlled. Nvidia counters with 3D Surround Vision: this could also be driving three screens, but there are two graphics cards in sli needed. With three 120Hz displays it is even possible to provide three displays of 3D images.
Prospects appear bleak for the GTX480, but the card can not be discarded - at least not until the GTX480 is in the shop and the actual price is clear. If retail prices are slightly below the recommended price, while the HD 5870 prices are kept artificially expensive because of high demand, Nvidia's latest offer may be a good option. Nvidia has already stated that the cards will be fully stocked from April 12. In the more distant future may be Nvidia can improve drivers and yields, which can push down the price further and further to improve performance. How much performance gain the card can achieve is the question. Who wants the fastest of the fastest can better invest in the HD 5970.
Now the question arises:
Assuming MPE will support the FERMI cards, which one is better:
1. The ATI HD 5970 is fastest but does not benefit from CUDA and supports DX11
2. The GTX 285 is much slower but benefits from CUDA and supports DX10
3. The GTX 480 is slower than ATI and may benefit from MPE and supports DX11
These are interesting times for all that want to change their graphics cards. The waiting is for some benchmark tests to shed some light on what is ahead for us.
And let's hope Adobe extends the MPE option to include ATI cards...

the specs on the HP systems are pretty weak.
a Xeon 3503? no such thing.. do you mean 3530?
a Xeon 3530 is the exact same thing as a Core i7 930
ECC ram will slow the system down and is not needed
8 gig ram is wrong for a 1366. it needs to be triple channel so 6 or 12 gig.
bare minimum is 3 hard drives.
as mentioned that video card is a joke. HP has a bad habbit of selling low budget card or very expensive cards.
dont buy into the "quadro" name and this all is well.
better to buy from a custom NLE builder

Which video card is best to preview in 2 monitor

hello all,
please I need help with video card and advice me with which video card shall I buy for this system I have.
I also need to preview 2 monitor in adobe after effect and adobe preimere. like i need to work with timeline and the secound monitor i get preview the video.
My system:
GIGABYTE Motherboard P35-DS3R
processor intel core 2 Qaud
8 GB DDR2 Ram
SATA hard drive 500 GB
thank you very much
best regards,
imam

I like the ATI 4890
make sure you have 2 slots open since it wide.
And it has: OpenGL 3.0 support
One more space to get that hot air out.
Also:
500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)
make sure you have 2 power connectors to run the dual monitors:

VIDEO CARDS QuadroFX4500 and RADEON X1900 won't work

I have the TWO VIDEO CARDS AND CAN'T RUN VIDEO WITHOUT IT GETTING STUTTERING VIDEO. LOOKS LIKE NOT ENOUGH MEMORY. WITH JUST THE 4500 ATTACHED TO 2 30 INCH APPLE MONITORS I WOULD GET A HORIZONTAL LINE ABOUT 1/3 FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. SWITCH DVI'S AND IT APPEARS ON THE OTHER MONOTOR, SO ITS NOT THE MONITORS. USED THE HARDWARE DISC AND THE LINE SHOWS UP WHEN YOU START. HAVE HAD THE $500 REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE APPLE SAYS THATS THE PROBLEM BUT THE LINE STAYS. NEVER MIND I CAN'T CONNECT THE OTHER 2 30 INCH APPLE MONITORS WITHOUT EVERYTHING SLOWING DOWN. I HAVE ONLY APPLE SOFTWARE ONE THE 07 MACPRO WITH 6GIGS OF DRAM AND TWO HARD DRIVES 500 GIGS AND 750 GIGS and one 750 external Seagate hard drive.

Sorry, didn't realize till later,I wasn't looking. No they never worked together. Actually I first had a nVidia GeForce 7300 GT from apple to go with the 4500, but it still sits in a box, was completely incompatible or pooched???. The Quadro 4500 always gave me a horizontal line when only two 30 inch Apple monitors were hooked up.Its been replaced a couple of times, still the horizontal line remains. Recently I acquired the X1900 thinking the dual dvi output could run one more 30 incher and one single link out to my 55 inch plasma(a dream I once had). I can get slideshows from Aperture to run, but no full screen video. It slugs along skipping every few frames. My 2 year nightmare continues. Thanks for your inquiry though maybe you know what is or should I say isn't happening. This is my second computer since my Commodore Vic-20. The first one was a G5 fully loaded that blew up 3 weeks after its arrival and finally was returned for my current Macpro. Thank you Applecare! I'm a very frustrated Newbie.

Going from video card w/ micro hdmi & 2 dvi into monitor w/ 2 hdmi & 1 vga; ??

trying to determine which would give me the best resolution. video card has 2 dvi and 1 micro hdmi outs; monitor has 2 regular hdmi and 1 vga. would the micro hdmi to a regular hdmi work best or would a dvi to hdmi give better resolution. getting conflicting answers and msi not answering phone today, thanks!
also can i go from 2 dvi into 1 or 2 hdmi to get better resolution?

Resolution is dependent on what your monitor (display device ) supports. It makes no difference which connector you use, as DVI and HDMI are both digital outputs

Cheapest video card for dual monitors on a G4 Sawtooth

Hi guys,
What would be my cheapest alternative to get a dual monitor (extended desktop) environnement with my G4 Sawtooth. This is an AGP G4.
Can I get a cheap video card with one outlet and then plus each monitor in one card (ie: 1 in the new card and 1 in the old one) ?
Or do I need to buy a card that supports 2 monitors?
I would like to spend as little as possible. I currently have the ATI 16 mb card that came with the system and I run both OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.3.9
Thans for your advice,
xenakis

Yesterday I installed a nVidia GeForce4 MX AGP out of a 2002 Quicksilver tower into my own AGP Sawtooth.
It has VGA and ADC connections and can apparently support two monitors at the same time.
My second vidio card is a MPDD card, but I may pull that now that I have a dual-monitor card. Sonnet sells something similar. They have blue & yellow connectors. These things are not high performance but they are OK to use with just about every monitor on the planet and any MacOS from 7.1 to 10.5 and beyond.
Cheap on eBay. Probably you could be even cheaper and pick up a 16-meg PCI card out of a B&W G3 tower.

Videos crash after 2 seconds (and other issues)

Hello,
I own a HP Pavilion DV6 6180ep and I'm experiencing a few problems while running Windows 8.1 .
- sometimes when I receive windows notifications (the ones on the upper right corner), the computer freezes (I can't click on the notification) and the sound crashes too, and only after 20/30 seconds everything starts working properly. When this happens, in the moment that everything comes back to normal, sometimes I hear a lot of windows sounds at the same time.
- videos in general crash after 2 seconds of playing (on every platform: youtube, facebook, VLC player, ...). I have to wait 20/30 seconds and everything comes back to normal again.
These are minor issues but after some time it's very annoying. I've been asking some people with similar laptops and many of them complain about these issues too.
Thank you.

Hi @Duarteman ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are having some graphics issues with your Pavilion after upgrading to Windows 8.1. The reason you are having problems is that there are no specific drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1 for this model. Your Pavilion also has switchable graphics which means you have two video cards. The drivers for these cards have be to configured the manufacturer of the notebook so you can't use a driver from AMD.
Your best bet is to use a set of recovery discs and go back to Windows 7.
