Ok, so I have a 1g macbook Pro and I'm having an issue with the graphics card, so I believe.

     I believe I'm having an issue with the graphics card. For one, when I'm using programs like iMovie '11, SPORE, or the Sims 3 for long periods (hours usualy) of time, the computer will be perfectly fine. It gets warmish-hot, like usuall, all of a sudden it will randomly freeze for 5 to 10 seconds, then shut down and reststart. This happens, espically on the Sims 3 I can play for a while, but when I try to save it will shut down on me.
     Also, I got a new iPod touch 4g on the 25th, the first few times I tried syncing and downloading, it started off fine, but after 10 min. it would restart. Now it works ok, but I still monitor it just incase.
     Can anyone help me understand why all of this is happening? I beleve the graphics card isn't good enough, even though it meets the standards for iLife, and The Sims 3. My graphics card is a ATI,RadeonX1600. The laptop has 2 GB RAM runs at 2.16GHz with an Intel Core Duo on OS X Snow Lepard (10.6.8). Thanks everyone.

Threads are just processes that link together like the threads in these discussions, well, maybe that is a bad example given how disjointed these get
It looks like you are not pushing the cpu or hard drive enough to cause your behavior. Not sure what the temperature limit on that cpu is, on the newer models it is around 100-110 °C which is notciabley hot, and the system shutsdown for self protection at the thermal limit.
You could be hitting a thermal limit causing that behavior...so do you see good behavior at lower load levela on the system? Does this only happen with when you are under the high graphic loads?
Trying to zero in on when this occurs to see if we an isolate the problem.

HT203254 Issues with the graphics card on 2008 Macbook Pro

So if I am having issues with the graphics card and my Macbook is among those from 2008 affected but it is after the free repair program has ended, how can I repair it myself? What parts need to be replaced?

Problem with upgrading Graphics Card from GTX 635 to GTX 960

Greetings,
I'm new to upgrading hardware in computers but have decided that I wanted to upgrade my graphics card in my HP Envy 700 - 329 (Nvidia GTX 635) to an Nvidia GTX 635. The only problem is I have never opened a computer and have no idea what cable to put where or how to take my old Graphics Card out to put my new one in, and I'm very worried because I might mess up. Is there any video tutorial/ guide out there that is convinient to my desktop for me to upgrade?
Thanks,
Marwan
P.S. Is the space in the Envy 700-329 large enough for the GTX 960?

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you are looking at upgrading your internal video adapter from a Nvidia GTX 635 to a Nvidia GTX 690. I am happy to help with this. FIrst thing, you must be aware of before you buy any video adapter upgrade, is the power requirements of the card, the recommended minimum output for the computer's power supply, the size of the card, the required expansion slot type, and the type of power connectors that must be available for the card from your system power supply. Starting with a comparison of the card you have with the one you are thinking to install:GeForce GT 635 (OEM) Specifications - www.geforce.comBus Support - PCI-E 3.0 Height 2.731 inchesLength 5.70 inchesslotWidth SingleMaximum Graphics Card Power (W) 35W GeForce GTX 690 Specifications - www.geforce.comBus Support - PCI Express 3.0Height 4.776 inchesLength 11.0 inchesslotWidth Dual-slotMaximum Graphics Card Power (W) 300WMinimum System Power Requirement (W) 650WSupplementary Power Connectors Two 8-pin Your computer has the following:
Power Supply Internal Total wattage: 460W - too lowDimensions: 150mm x 140mm x 86mm (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) I have highlighted the items you will need to be aware of in red, before trying to install this card. Because the stock power supply is 460W, it will also need to be replaced, because the card requires that your power supply meet a minimum output of 650W, and that power supply needs to also have two 8-pin supplementary power connectors. I included the dimensions of your current power supply so you have a guide to the type of space you have and form of the power supply to help with finding something that will fit in that space. Also I highlighted the fact that the card you are looking at is significantly larger in all dimensions, so you can make sure it will fit inside the case or have an idea of what cabling may need to be moved, and because it is a dual-slot width, it may block another slot on your main board. Because of all of these issues you may want to consider talking to a local computer tech or a tech savvy friend to help you with this, and maybe save some money as well. I did not include the instructions on how to replace the card itself, because of the other issues, which you will need to check on first. I hope this helps, or does not confuse the matter more, but reading your post I realized you were probably not aware of these little roadblocks.

Hi:
Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

Mac Pro 3, 1 Upgrading Graphics Card Help!

Hello to all and I first apoligize before hand incase there is a similar post.
I am currently in the mix of getting myself a new graphics card and upgrading the RAM I have on my early 2008 (3, 1) Mac Pro and dont know what I am looking at.
My current specs are as follows:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor: 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Software: OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
I am currently having issues with not waking up from sleep and the performace with the graphics card rendering and fps in games are very poor. Tired of having all of my video settings on low.
I play League of Legands, Dota 2, Portals, CounterStrike . . . etc. There are a lot of different options now for cards than ever before but I am looking to stay within a budget. For the graphics card I am not looking to spend over $400 and would love to find something even cheaper than that. I have researched many of the forms within discussions.apple, apple insider and as well have talked to a senior advisior with apple. She recomended the Nvidia Quadro FX 5600.
I specificly want something at or above 1.0 GB VRAM to handle my 2 Displays which are:
HP 2711:
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
DELL 2405FPW:
Resolution: 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
If anyone can point me in the right direction as to what to buy for a graphics card because I am not that well educated in that side of the computer. I can handle upgrading the RAM by myself but would also like a little push.
Any help/response would be great!

The "regular" Apple Mini Displayport to Single-Link DVI adapter (is not an ACTIVE adapter) is US$29. for displays up to 1920 wide.
Third party Mini Displayport to Single-Link DVI adapter ACTIVE can be had for about US$35 from Amazon or NewEgg. for displays up to 1920 wide.

Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
The things that i did:
- Reinstall Windows
- Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
- different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

@Enegue ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9. The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine. It is designed to be fore general use.
Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.
Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site. They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

Upgrading graphics card problem, GTX 660, IPISB-CH2 Motherboard

I want to upgrade my graphics card from a radeon 6850. I have a 600W EVGA PSU. My motherboard is a ipisb-ch2 (chicago). Yes it is
According to this website: http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/HP/HP_IPISB-CH2_%28Chicago%29/1627/Compatible_GPUs, the GTX 660 is compatible. However my gigabyte GV-N660OC-3GD card does not work.
I get single beep after seeing the HP screen and that's it. Yes it is connected correctly. Is this computer simply impossible to upgrade?

Hello @Ticklebumps,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your desktop is experiencing an issue with upgrading the graphics card, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since you mentioned that the power connections are properly hooked up between the graphics card and the power supply, I recommend removing the GPU and search for any potential BIOS updates for your computer. This can be done by following this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7), as well as Updating the BIOS.
If the GPU is still not recognizable by your system, then the card is likely not going to work.
I hope this helps!
Best Regards

Hi:
Graphics adapters cannot be upgraded simply.
You would need to replace the motherboard with one that would have better graphics (if one exists for your model).
This would cost as much as buying a new notebook, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such an endeavor.

What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

I have a early 2008 Mac Pro. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now. What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.
- http://www.barefeats.com
So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

Problem with nvidia graphic card, nvlddmkm.sys

I have a HP m9000 , originally it had Vista, it started to fail and display the error nvlddmkm.sys (on a blue screen od death), i intalled Windows 8 in hope the problem get resolve. but the problem still persist. At the beginning on W8 it looks like working fine, but suddenly it started to display "controller not responding", and then it is displayin "Something goes wrong with your graphic card".
I found on internet a fix; expanding the nvlddmkm.sy_ and replace the file in system32. i made it but right now after the windows logon screen the monitor starts to blink between black screen and off screen.
The grapghic card is a NVIDIA 8500 GT. I tested the graphic card in other computer, and at the begining it worked fine, but after the dirver installation it started to fail in the same way.
Ad far i could read on intetrnet it is a failure with NVIDIA.
Is there any solution for this problem? Or i should change the graphic video card? (Maybe for an ATI)

Hi,
I have used many different NVIDIA cards (including a 8600) on different PCs and never had your issue.
As for drivers, you can always use the original drivers that came with your PC and then do an update if necessary.

HP Envy Desktop h8-1414 PC, problem with replacing graphics card

Hi,
I have a new HP Envy Desktop h8-1414 PC. I successfully replaced the power supply with a 400 watt one.
I purchased a Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 1GB DDR5 HDMI / DVI-I / DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11202-00-20G and installed it. However, when I turn the PC on again, the monitor does not receive a signal.
Any suggestions? Do I need to plug the power supply into the 4 pronged connection in between the graphics card slot and the cpu?

This unfortunately did not work for me. In the end of hours and hours of "support" for both HP & Microsoft all I had was a slow computer that I can't upgrade. The system cant run any of the graphics intense programs I use on a day to day basis. In the end I returned it for an Asus with an i7 processor, Windows 7 and a fully upgradable graphics card.
Been happy ever since.

Upgrading graphic card on HP DC 8300 CMT

Dear HP,
I try to upgrade graphic card, on HP DC 8300 CMT (Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000 )
with Nvidia Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti.
As stock power supply doesnt meet requirements, I installed an additional FSP Group Booster X5 450W.
Once I turn PC on, it reboots 3 times, and eventually it continues to use onboard graphic and windows 7 loads as usual .
like if new graphic card is not present. (not detected by windows)
Bios version is latest and particular option for disableing integrated graphic is grayed out- not accessible.
Is there any explanation why this happens ?
On DC 8100 sff It automaticaly disabled onboard graphic, altough it was low consumption Radeon HD 7750 Low Profile card, and there was no any problem.
Regards.

Bought laptop with no graphics card.

Hi, in June I bought a laptop. I was helped in which one exactly to buy. And when I decided to buy what the empoyee recommended my gaming, it turns out that the laptop didn't come with a graphics card. Now I am stuck with no graphics card..at all. It is a Lenovo V570. I didn't realise this until last week.

Being that the MSRP is only $600, to be blunt, you didn't give them a gaming laptop budget.
