Switching graphic cards don't work

, Hi and thanks again for posting back. Here is a link to your systems supported drivers. HP Pavilion g6-2170ec Notebook PC - Software and Drivers Here is a link on How to enable/disable automatic driver installation for Windows 8 Please let me know how thing go. Thanks again.

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. What you will need to do is go back and remove all your drivers. You will need to boot into safe mode for this. Once a driver is uninstalled then reboot back into safe mode and remove the next. Once all the drivers are removed you will then have to boot into windows normally. When your system is up go and start installing the drivers starting with the chipset first before any other driver. Remember to reboot between driver installs and once the chipset is installed you can install the drivers in any order you want. Please let me know how thins goes for you. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

Help: Graphic card don't work properly

Hi,
I built a new pc with
MB: MSI H87-G43
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670
GPU: MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC with S/N: 602-V287-28SB1307046452
Sys: Windows 7 64b Ultimate
PSU: Corsair RM650 (650W, gold certified)
My problem is that after initial built I was unable to run pc with N660 in, it would not load at all. After removing it, pc boots and I can work on integrated graphic card. I took the card to my friend where it worked without issue so what we did was to flash it with BIOS update from MSI - N660 TF 2GD5/OC / BIOS. After that card started to show artefacts and ended with blue screen on my friends PC. I took the card, installed it in my pc and it booted, however with artefacts, buti t worked. After installing nvidia drivers I have blue screen as well. Reverted this by going back with integrated graphic and removing drivers.
MOBO updated to BIOS 2.5 via Live Update 5
I also tried my old graphic card which is ASUS GTX295 and it doesn't boot as well (at all).
Any idea? I already ran out of options now...
Update: I used flash for this model, but as I read it needs specific S/N, might be that issue?

This vbios is not for your card. It's NV287MS.2C versions (legacy) or NV287MH.2C (gop) versions.
Attached are NV287MH.2C0 (gop) and NV287MS.2C2 (legacy). Use what you want of these two and retry.

Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work in a Mac Pro as a second card

Should I try this? I don't see any reason why not but would like to make sure
Thanks

Should I try this?
No.
It won't work.
Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work
As explained, the G5 uses Open Firmware and the Mac Pro uses EFI.
The ROM of the graphics card is completely different for each of the two machines.
The cards are not interchangeable.

I have two graphics cards in my PC . after I had to reinstall windows again has been slower pc and stuff not play 4k footage . Can you help me find out about it " Raks " graphics card has stopped working ?

I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
cosmic rays
sun spots
the trilateral commission
if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

W500 switching graphics card

Hi, so on my w500 laptop specs, it says that it has 512 MB ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 graphics card that is switchable to Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 MHD. I want to switch to the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator but I can't seem to figure out how to do it- I was told it was easy, but I'm not having much luck. If anyone could help me, that would be awesome, thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Which OS are you using? The switchable feature only works in Win Vista and 7.
Maybe this will help:-
"How do I tell the system to switch my graphics adapter?
To switch graphics adapters, left-click on the ThinkVantage Power Managerbattery icon in the system notification area. At the bottom of the pop-up menu there will be a Switchable Graphics sub-menu.
Note: Changing ThinkVantage Power Manager from Basic mode (default) to Advanced mode will cause the menu to look different. The menu will no longer be transparent and the slider is replaced with a list of schemes. The Switchable Graphics sub-menu is still at the bottom."

No display switched graphics card

So at work I've used two different towers--a 2007 Mac Pro, and lately a 2009 Mac Pro tower. I made the switch because the 07, while generally decently fast, was having some harddrive errors and making me a bit nervous about how long it would last.
The ideal swap was to move my user to the 2009 tower, which has better specs in most everything BUT graphics card--and then swap the graphics cards. The 2007 had a ATI Radeon x1920 xt and the 2009 came with a Nvidia GeForce GT120.
My coworker and I swapped the graphics cards and put the Radeon in the 2009 and the Nvidia in the 2007 and booted both machines--but neither had a display. The machines booted up, just... black, no display connection at all. We switched back to make sure we hadn't broken anything--worked just fine.
The 2009 machine already had drivers for both brands--Nvidia and ATI. I tried researching online but the general consensus among the Apple crowd is that the machine should already have the drivers, and at least display should be a given?
Seems like this is a simple problem! I must be missing a really basic step, simply because I've not done it before, don't know the process, and can't find a specific tutorial online.
Also, the Radeon required an additional power source, but it was plugged in. I can't think of anything to troubleshoot beyond this, I really don't know enough.

The card you mentioned (Radeon X1920) is not offically supported on any model Mac Pro:
Mac Pro (all models): Graphics card compatibility between models
If you mean the X1900, that does not support 64-bit kernel, so it will not work in 2008 and later models.

Graphics card isn't working.

I just purchased the GTX 960 for my computer but it doesn't seem to be working.
System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard
Model: h8-1213c
Motherboard: pegatron 2ad5
cpu: i7
Trying to upgrade from: GT 620
Power supply: 460W
Everytime I try installing the new graphics card the computer screen goes to a black screen after the HP splash screen as well as the motherboard making 3 beeps.
I've gone into the BIOS but I don't see an area for detecting graphics cards, I even called in my tech savvy boyfriend to look into the BIOS but he also could not find the graphic card detection.
I've temporarily switched back to the GT 620 card so that I can use my computer for now.
What could be causing the problem and is there a solution?
Thanks so much in advance!

Is there a connector to supply extra power to the graphics card? My GTX 750 Ti does nothing useful if no power is supplied to its extra power connector.

MacBook Pro will not boot after switching graphics cards

Dear All,
I have a late-2008 unibody MacBook Pro. I have had it since April 2009, and I have not encountered any real problems with it.
Yesterday, I switched to the 9600 graphics card for the first time since purchasing the machine. It logged me out as expected, but then proceeded to flash a blank blue screen at me for 20 minutes. Assuming that this was not normal, I powered down the computer by holding the power button. I powered it on again, and it will not get past the Apple symbol screen with the loading whirligig. I left it on for seven hours (overnight), and no change.
I booted it from the install disc and ran the Disk Utility verify and repair. It either gives me no problem or a block count error, which goes away when I run repair. I tried running verify on permissions, but this gives me a "failed to exit" or some such error, same with repair permissions. Restarting gives me the same apple logo screen until forever.
I've tried resetting PRAM, doing the battery removal and holding power button for 5 seconds, I've tried booting in safe mode (it won't), and doing an archive and install (which it can't do either, as it can't access my HDD or something). I've run the disk utility verify and repair several times.
I unfortunately don't have a recent backup (slapping myself), so I'm open to suggestions before going into despair over my $2600 paperweight before doing an erase and install...
Thanks in advance!
PS: is there a way to open the computer in target disk mode via the install cd so that I CAN back it up?
Message was edited by: Kaklz

Thanks, Joe. That may be an option if all else fails. I don't currently own an enclosure, so I am looking for an alternative before spending any money (I know, "frugal Apple user" is unheard of, but...).
I do have an old G3 tower, which I am using in the meantime, so if I can use this to open my MBP in target disk mode (or some other way of making a backup), I'd be overjoyed!

Switching graphics card when on battery

I have a W540 with the nvidia K1100M graphics card. I'm trying to configure my laptop so that when I'm running on battery power, ALL programs use the integrated graphics adapter. When I'm plugged to AC in I'd like ALL programs to use the nvidia card.
I've looked into the nvidia optimus program, but it seems like it has a different card selection philosophy that isn't quite what I'm after.
Is there a way I can achieve this? It seems like a very straightforward config.
Thanks!

True, but you'd still have to restart all of your existing processes. Worse, if something like DWM ends up on discrete, you'd be stuck with high power consumption until you stop and restart it.
If the caveats are acceptable, you can probably script switching between "Auto-select graphics processor" and "Integrated only" as found in the NVIDIA Control Panel and set the program list according to AC power conditions. You'd also probably bypass the NVIDIA Control Panel itself and toggle the setting in the registry directly (don't know if it's actually in the registry) or using a CLI tool (don't know of one).

Graphics Cards (What will work? - Minimum to Run CS6)

Hi,
The community has been quite helpful so far, thanks!
I am looking purchase Premiere CS6 and will be running it on a machine with an AMD Phenom II 6 core processor with 8 gigs of ram. The video card is a 2 gig Radeon model, not on the supported list for graphics acceleration. Will it work at all, or do I need to have a new graphics card (I don't care about GPU acceleration)? The rest of my setup meets or exceeds minimum requirements.
Keep in mind that I am not doing much in the way of effects etc, just newsreel type shoots and interviews for my portfolio. CS6 is the only version available at my school at a discount and will be going to the cloud service in May, so I want to act now and secure a copy to use over the next couple years.
Thanks,
CM

Your system should work OK but you will be editing at half resolution instead of full resolution when using AVCHD. You might want to watch the video link. An i7 and inexpensive GT 640 would work good for editing native AVCHD but a GTX 650 Ti would be even better.
Both of those GPUs are a bit unbalanced with an i7 CPU, primarily due to their relatively low graphics memory bandwidth: 28.5 GB/s and 86.4 GB/s, respectively. However, there is a new version of the GTX 650 Ti that was just introduced: the GTX 650 Ti Boost (make sure that it specifically says "Boost" after the "GTX 650 Ti"). That GPU has the same 768 CUDA cores as the regular GTX 650 Ti, but with much greater memory bandwidth (144 GB/s versus 86.4 GB/s).
You are incorrect about the GTX 650 Ti. It can play back several layers of track matttes using native AVCHD at full resolution. The GTX 650 Ti GPU is infact bottlenecked by the CPU. The i7 will choke and be 100% after four layers of native AVCHD. The GPU of the GTX 650 Ti could easily play back 8 PIPs of native AVCHD provided the i7 CPU could decode that many layers but it cannot. Keep in mind the original poster of this thread is not going to be doing a lot of fancy effects. Having said that the GT 640 might be a better buy based on the users needs. I agree the GTX 650 Ti Boost would peform better than the standard GTX 650 Ti but the i7 would be the bottle neck not the GTX 650 Ti. I just wanted to correct the miss information.

New Catalyst - can't switch graphic card

Hi,
I recently updated Catalyst control center to the version 14.11.2 Beta to solve crashing problem with Dragon Age 3. However, since then I cannot manually switch between graphic cards, the option simply dissappeared in this version. Am I missing anything or the option is really no longer there?
Thanks in advance.

Install Win7 with no Lenovo software - still switch graphics cards?

I'm thinking of wiping our T500 and installing Win7 Pro without any Lenovo software. Will I still be able to switch between the dual graphics cards (discrete/onboard)? And I assume the special key combinations won't work anymore? Thanks

As long as you install the necessary drivers and software components from the T500 driver matrix, it should be fully functional. That said, you won't benefit from the Enhanced Experience of the Lenovo preload.
