[Solved] Problems after upgrading graphics card

I just upgraded my 8800GTX to a GTX650. I ran "nvidia-xconfig" initially then "nvidia-settings" to make sure both of my monitors looked good. After rebooting I have Openbox running on only my "main" screen. I can move my mouse to the second screen, but when I do the cursor changes to the default X one and I can't do anything there. I also can't drag windows to my secondary screen.
I figure it is something to do with twinview not working properly, or some other xorg.conf configuration problem. Here is a link to my xorg.conf: http://pastie.org/private/zo9fikanxumf4haqaya2eg
Any help would be great.
EDIT: Solved. In nvidia-settings I needed to set both displays to the same X screen

In your motherboard manual it describes how to re-set the CMOS. Taking out the battery would work but it's easier to re-set the CMOS via the jumper pins. It also holds info on bios features and settings in the manual so you might want to scan through that and see if there's anything you might change.
Have you tried the graphics card in another computer? Do you get the same problems?
Ok - I now found out which jumpers to change - thank you.
I have tried putting my old graphics card back in but still had the problem.
On Sunday someone is going to switch ram chips (his are good in his machine) with me and hopefully we'll establish whether or not my physical ram modules are ok.
Seem very strange to me that both of my modules (one was ok a month ago and the other just arrived from Crucial) fail the same test - memtest #7 - random memory but then I'm only an egg when it comes to this stuff.
Many thanks for everyone's help !
Mike
Well I don't know if it's good news or bad news !?
Have just tested my system with a known to be good ram module and ?
My machine failed Memtest #7 - the machine that the 'borrowed' ram came from passes the test.
So I will reset the bios I guess.

Display Problems After Installing Graphics Card Drivers

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem that's got me stumped?
I've just upgraded my pc (CPU, Motherboard, Memory, Hard Drive, Sound Card, Monitor) - the only things that haven't changed are my graphics card and PSU.
I've built the system, installed windows and the motherboard drivers, which all work correctly. But after I install the graphics card drivers and reboot, the display becomes all scrambled when it loads into windows. The display is fine with the initial boot and up until the Windows XP screen, with the moving bar comes up.
The graphics card was fine in my previous system and I have tried my old monitor, but neither works. I've updated the BIOS, using the MSI Live Update program and have also tried various versions of the nVidia drivers (including the latest).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
****UPDATE****
I've now managed to install the nVidia drivers and now windows loads normally, but after a short amount of time the screen scrambles again.

I have the same problem. It happened right after I installed the graphics update. When the computer restarted, my screen went crazy. I couldn't see anything, just a screen full of horizontal lines. After restarting a couple of times it seemed to go away, but it has begun to happen again recently. although not as bad yet. I am not saying it's not a logic board issue, but it does seem funny that more than one person is experiencing the same type of problem after the graphics update. I guess it's time to take a trip to the apple store.

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.

[SOLVED] Problems after upgrades and installations

I installed some packages today and did an upgrade. Now certain of my daemons are not starting on boot and I have to start them manually. I tried downgrading the kernel but that didn't help.
Here's my daemons line in /etc/rc.conf -
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus gdm network @ntpd netfs crond dbus hal fam slim sensors mysqld mythbackend motion @monitorix @alsa @sshd samba @cupsd @cpufreq lircd @httpd !ddclient monitd)
I haven't checked all of them but monitorix, lircd and httpd all have to be started manually. Something odd has also happened with lirc. irexec doesn't seem to be starting from its startup script. Once I start it manually and do an irw, only the remote's up, down,left and right keys are recognised (and give strange ascii symbolic output to irw) while the other keys don't seem reognised at all.
This is my /var/log/pacman.log from today -

I know I should have upgraded before installing the new packages but I'd be surprised if that was the cause of the problem.
Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Things have gone from bad to worse -
I edited the Daemons line which now looks like this -
DAEMONS=(dbus syslog-ng !gdm network @ntpd netfs crond !hal fam slim sensors mysqld mythbackend @motion @monitorix @alsa @sshd samba @cupsd @cpufreq lircd @httpd !ddclient @monitd)
I also upgraded the kernel (after downgrading before) with a pacman -Suy which also installed some new xorg packages.

Now I seem to be getting a lower level problem. After grub the system is now giving me a message that it can't find or mount the root partition. I'm also getting this message when trying to boot my fallback root partition (cloned about a week ago) but can succesfully boot my previous fallback root partition (cloned about 6 months ago). (All on the same hdd). Very strange and a real bugger. Things were working beautifully up until those really-pretty-minor upgrades this morning.
Re some of the specific items referred to above -
Merging pacnew files-
I went through them all again but all looks good. I don't delete the pacnew's. I keep them and comment where I have made changes in the in-use files. BTW I use meld with this excellent command (as su) to compare my files vs the pacnew's.
for file in $(find /etc -name '*.pacnew'); do meld ${file/.pacnew/} $file; done
Re lirc -
This is the post I was referring to. My dvb-tuner cards are recognised as IR devices as well and I think the order of loading was random, hence requiring all of those lines.
It is working fine in the 6-month old fallback partition I am currently booted into.
I know there are separate threads about the unable-to-mount-root-partition issue as I've had that problem in the past, so back to those it seems.
If anybody has some brainwaves to help me in the meantime I'd really appreciate it. I have made a lot of changes since my fallback partitions and would love to boot my latest root partition have it working normally.
Thanks

[SOLVED] Problem after upgrade to Anki 2.0.4-1

Hiya,
Today pacman upgraded anki from 2.0.3-1 to 2.0.4-1, which seems to have broken anki.
When try to run Anki, I get a message saying
Please build and install the PortAudio Python bindings first.
(which I got before, when Anki worked correctly) and a popup saying
Error during startup:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 42, in __init__
self.setupAddons()
File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 500, in setupAddons

EDIT: Sorry, should I have made a bug report for this instead? I'll file one now.
Regards,
Last edited by Snark1994 (2013-01-09 22:13:48)

I confirm this is a bug. It has nothing to do with pyaudio. It seems there is some problem with sync.py. The problematic code quoted in the error messages runs without problem independently but fails when called by anki. We probably should file the bug in anki.
In the meantime, a dirty fix is to comment out the following to lines
from anki.sync import httpCon
import aqt.sync # monkey-patches httplib2
in /usr/share/anki/aqt/downloader.py.
After this, anki is usable but the sync function will be temporarily disabled.

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.

Can I upgrade graphics card of my Laptop?

Hi folks,
I want to know whether I can upgrade graphics card of my laptop.
Now a days most of the high end games are not
working in my laptop and I'm pretty disappointed.
Please let me know whether I can do that. My laptop model is
HP Pavillion DV5 1106AX.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

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.

Problems after upgrade bios to v4.3 - P67A-GD65

Hi to everybody,
I was having a problems after upgrade bios to v4.3 of my mainboard P67A-GD65.
After upgraded bios version (FW) its interface was changed and seemed better. also some specifiactions upgraded that i am now able to follow information of bios in my windows. with Control Center.
1) first of all after bios upgrade XMP memory section can only be enable şf ş choose OC geniue on. but with this my cpu warm till 98C degree. because i have only stock cpu cooler of intel.
in normal mode xmp can not be activated so that my memory that corsair vengeance dd3 1600mhz works at 1333mhz only.
Also there was information about what is new in this version of bios fw as:
- Enhanced PCI-E display card performance.
- Improved memory compatibility.
2) second problem that i have i wanted to turn cpu leds which were located above cpu slot blue leds. once i turn them off and it is ok. but when shutdown computer and restart it turn on itself.
so may be there have benn occured a problem that mb can not save edited settings correctly?
3) For last i could not find Winki 3 OS/linuz anywhere is there a link to it to integrate to my mb?
Thanks for your replies from now on.
Greetings.

I think you had better to flash back to beta 4.39 bios, here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.msg1214789#msg1214789
And use and install on USB key MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool from here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.msg800577#msg800577
Flash using method 1.
And tell us if that works.
thank you for reply that fast i will try asap and tell here.
Btw, have you ever face a problem as i wrote above?

Problems after upgrade: Leopard to Leopard no longer works

My sister upgraded to Leopard on her iMac(c2d) to Leopard yesterday. Earlier in the day we were able to do video chats with a number of people(her machine Tiger to Fathers machine Leopard). However, since upgrading, we've experienced weird behavior for video chats. Basically in her window she won't see her image(the small one), and I don't see her at all. We've tested this out with a number of other iChat accounts and get the same results. Btw, all machines that are chatting with her are using Leopard. Also, all other forms/capabilities work: screen sharing, sharing of pictures, audio chats.
Anyone out there have similar problems after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard? I have done the usual adjustments of bandwidth and QT settings, as well as restarts. What else should I try?
tia,
n

I finally resolved this problem: I think the issues/steps would be helpful for anyone who experiences iSight off or not working problems after upgrading to Leopard(then to 10.5.1) on a intel 20" iMac :
Problem:
-If you have an internal iSight on an iMac and your camera works fine in Tiger
-If you upgrade to Leopard
-If Chat camera doesn't show your image (iSight off) even though the green light is on
-You can see the other persons video on iChat
-Your friends can here you and you can share screens, files, etc.....everything but have them see you
These are the initial steps I took:
- Deleted the pLists(or stored preferences for the Application) described at the top of this thread
- Was told it might be slow internet connection so did various things: disconnected other computers, changed wireless to "G" only
- Specifically Opened of ports spec'd for Leopard on router (even though I hadn't needed to do this under Tiger)
- Tried chats with various people on various fast/slow networks
- Restarted all aspects of the network: router, wireless access point, computer
- Checked to see if the iSight was shown in 'System Profiler'. It was found in 'About This Mac->More Info->System Profiler->USB'
- Clicked Video icon in iChat Buddies window(to the right of your name) and coudn't see my image
- Opened 'PhotoBooth' and coudn't see my image(black screen)
- Opened iMovie and couldn't capture video via the iSight(black screen)
- Opened iChat->Preferences->Video and couldn't see my image
- Validated that 'Camera is Enabled' in iChat->Video->Camera is Enabled
If you are experiencing a similar problem with you built-in iSight, I would probably focus on the last 5 things that I did. What they showed me was that the iSight was just not capturing video even though it was capturing sound in 3 different applications.
The solution to iSight Off or iSight Not Responding or No Video is......reset your computer! I had thought my sister performed this but it turns out she hadn't. Here's the link to this procedure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Very easy to do though: Power off computer and unplug all cables, including power cable for at least 15 seconds. Plug everything back in and power up the computer and retry clicking on the 'Video' icon next to your login name. If you see yourself then...problem is solved.
While I eventually found posts in several other forums, it took me the better part of a week. To try this simple step. I wish I had done so straight away. Oy. I guess I learned a lot about ports, speed etc.
I hope this helps.

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.

Apple TV problem after upgrading to iTunes 7.5

PROBLEM: After upgrading to 7.5, Apple TV no longer recognized iTunes and vice versa.
ATTEMPTED SOLUTIONS: Removed and reinstalled iTunes 7.5 from scratch. Reset @TV to Factory Defaults and reconfigured. Removed Apple TV from iTunes Preferences/Apple TV/Remove Apple TV.
iTunes no longer finds @TV, either in the Preferences/Apple TV pane, or in the Device List. Everything worked perfectly before the 7.5 upgrade. All other features and devices working fine. Have reviewed all postings and eliminated the possibility of firewall or port problems.
Suggestions welcome! Thanks.

I have partially resolved the problem. Something with the 7.5 upgrade changed the network protocols being used by the Apple TV... switching to a wired network from end to end with a full shut down and reboot has the @TV back online... I am still working on trying to solve the wireless side of the equation.

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.
