[T410] discrete gfx - Problem with Video Card and Windows Aero -anyone using 4Gb memory modules?

[3/3/2010 Update]
There's a issue of using 4Gb sticks on T410 currently that results in video output artifacts and aero interface problems when using Lenovo supplied drivers v8.16.11.8825. I think I can call it confirmed (Three people including me face this issue).
Possible workaround is to install modified EliteBook 8440p video driver (read along this thread) comes with a BIG drawback of not being able to change brightness level within Windows 7. To sweeten it a little bit - you can set luminance level at POST screen, when computer boots up.
[Original Message]
Encountered strange behavoir of my T410.
I have a T410 with 256Mb of Video Memory and 1440x900 display, a T61 with 128Mb of Video Memory and 1400x1050 dsplay and external monitor HP w2338h with 1920x1080 resolution.
If I connect external monitor to my T410 and launch Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 - image blinks and comes back with Aero disabled. Looking through event logs reveals the lack of memory. Entry information can be found further.
Now If I do the same with my old Thinkpad T61, connect the same monitor using the same cable - I can open as many Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 instances I like (tried 5) and nothing blinks and Aero stays enabled.
Actually I find ridiculous, a notebook with more VRAM cannot archive the same performance as notebooks with less.
Does anyone know what path should I pursue to solve this issue?
UPDATE: Simply running multiple instances of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 without external monitor causes Aero disabled as well.

This must be buggy drivers, on Lenovo download site is just the one and the only initial driver for T410 graphics card.
What software were you actively using when this error occured?

  • Problem with video cards and posterization effect

    Hello everyone,
    I have problem with posterization effect in Lightroom 4.4 and 5.
    When monitor uses integrated video card (Radeon HD 4300) everything is ok. But when I plug in other video card (tested on GeForce GT630 and Radeon HD 7770) I have posterization effect in shadows in every Lightroom module. When picture is exported to jpg then everything is ok. Here is screenshot with NEF in Lightroom and jpg in IrfanView: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yftnnk6w1guii70/Lightroom_problem.png . Of course with colour images I have the same problem. Anyone have an idea what can I do? I have installed the newest drivers for video cards but it didn't help.

    For how and why this could have happened, would you mind sharing your capture and sequence settings?
    As far as applying parameters to multiple clips, I think you can make use of the Paste Attributes function in FCP...
    Alter one of your problematic clips
    Select that clip in the Timeline, then press Command-C (or control-click and choose Copy from the contextual menu)
    Select the remainder of your problematic clips
    With your clips selected press Option-V (or control-click on one of them and select Paste Attributes from the contextual menu) to bring up the Paste Attributes dialog
    Select Basic Motion - under the Video options, on your left-hand side - then click OK
    (Basic Motion because, if I understand your solution correctly, you altered the Center property - either in the Motion tab of the Viewer or manually in the Canvas - of your clips. You nudged them all up a bit, right? If you did, then that would fall under the Basic Motion attribute.)
    All your selected clips should be nudged up appropriately.
    But, again, I'm making a bit of leap since I'm not entirely sure what caused your issue in the first place.

  • G505 problems with video cards.

    Lenovo G505, 59-419907, AMD A6-5200, AMD Radeon R5 M230
    I suffer second day. I downloaded a lot of different drivers.
    several times reinstalled windows 8.1.
    after installing windows in my Device Manager, there is a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and unknown video device
    when I try to install vga drivers from the Lenovo site, or from the AMD site, both graphics card become with the error icon 
     - Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
    Catalyst does not see the video card with an error
    if I'm disable in the BIOS a discrete video card everything is OK.
    as soon as I'm in the BIOS to turn on an external video card in the device manager both cards an error.
    I tried to put the first driver on the onboard video card and then on the outside. nothing helps.
    please help me before I killed myself.

    Hi,
    I have a same problem, I bought g505 (bios 3.00) but the wifi not work after few days. I think upgrade the bios, but on the official website was 2.04 version (i not understand, because i have 3.00, i think  "downgrade" it), now my bios is 2.04 but the switchable graphics not work, only other option (i not remember it, maybe UMA) work, and I can't finde the 3.00 bios.
    Thank for the answer, and sorry my English

  • AMD 8750M Video Card and Windows 10

    Is Windows 10 really not compatible with the AMD 8750M Video Card and the version 12.151.1.9002 (1/21/2004) driver? Or does AMD need to issue a driver update? Thank you

    And if you will turn 8750m off via bios, you might get this issue where you can't turn it ON!here the link to the topic:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/WIN10-HP-470-G1-AMD-8750m-doesn-t-show-up-dGPU-option-doesn/m-p/5170662

  • Problem With Captivate 4 and Windows 8

    Hi,
    I've a problem with Captivate 4 on Windows 8 projects :
    The mouse is not tracked.
    I've applied the last patch for this version (11/15/2011).
    Is there another patch for this ?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi there
    I know this will come off as sounding snarky, but please know it's honestly not intended that way,
    Windows 8?
    I never was able to make Captivate 4 run successfully on Windows 7. So I'm not the least bit surprised to hear it has issues with Windows 8!
    Personally, I'm thinking you are due for an upgrade to Captivate if you want it to work on Windows 8. But then again, I'm not even certain if Captivate 6 is Windows 8 compatible.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Problems with captivate 8 and windows 8

    I´m using captivate 8 and windows 8, and I am having problems with the visualization and publication of my projects. For visualization, there is a message of an error with syntax of the files ou directory, and nothing happens. For publication, I can´t see the project published in the browser. It opens only a text file, with the codes. Is there anyone thar can help me with that?

    Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win7, particularly the x64 version. If you got the installation to go, the first step is to update AA8 to at least AA8.2. The x64 with XP required at least AA8.2 and I suspect that has not changed. I would suggest updating to the latest, either from the help menu (until no more updates are available) or by downloading the updates from the adobe.com>downloads page. For the latter, download ALL updates after your current version and install them in ORDER. They are not cummulative in most cases. You only need to reboot after the final update. The updates may get you going. If not, you may simply have to upgrade to AA9 or search for what others have been able to do in your situation.

  • Problems with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all
    I need help with Acrobat 8 and Windows 7.
    During the installation I'm asked to locate the file AdobePDF.dll on the disk. Selected the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AMD64.
    The installation finishes without any other problem.
    The problem arises when I want to create a pdf from a Word document. I'm using Office 2007. When I select he option to create a pdf from a file, I get message in the attached image.
    If I try to used the Adobe PDF printer from within Word, nothing happes. The small printer icon apprears in the Windows task bar, but that is all. If I double click on the icon, I can see the print job, but that's all. There is no dialog box that asks me to save the file.
    Assistance will be apppreciated.

  • PCI port problems with video card

    I have been running 2 video cards (ati 9800pro and 7500) fine for about 2 months now.  Over the weekend I came home to find the monitor with my second card garbled with black lines running up and down the screen, shifting left and right.  Also, there was a problem with my promise controller (had a question mark next to it in device manager)  I reinstalled that and it works fine now.  My second card continues to give me problems though.  Device manager picks it up and says that my card is working fine but in display settings my card does not show up.  I believe it a problem with the motherboard as I have tried 2 nvidia cards with the same result.  It is also not related to windows as if I change the boot config to load my second card first (pci) the black lines/wavy picture loads up with the msi screen and in the bios setup as well (totally unreadable).  I've also made sure that my monitor is working fine.  Any suggestions????  Thanks.
    Ian

    Well to tell you the truth, I don't like the sound of this ...especially since you said that you tried another card, and had the same result....Well I would first go into the BIOS and on the PNP/PCI page, check the Clear NVRAM to enabled..As this will reset all the PNP devices...See if that works ...Have you tried to switch the AGP/PCI initiation sequence in the BIOS? back and forth?...You can also see if there are any IRQ conflicts.(but you probaly did this allready)...You can also try to increase the PCI latency, If it is set to 32 go up to 64 and try...Do you have any other PCI cards with problems?...Have you tried a different PCI slot?.....Well maybee another member or moderator has some advice ...Let us know.....Sean REILLY875

  • Problems with video card in CS4

    I'm having what I think is video problems since I switched to CS4. No problems with CS3 before, or any other programs except CS4, now. Frequent apparent redraws leave remnants on screen, panels move back and forth, etc.
    I have a Dell Precision 490 with 4gb ram and a nVidia Quadra fx 550 with 128 megs of ram. Open GL is enabled. I have loaded all the latest nVidia drivers.
    If this sounds like a video card problem, can anyone recommend a good, not too expensive card? I don't play any games, just use the machine for PS. ID and Flash mostly.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jon

    I am having the same problem with CS3 and CS4. Any luck on fixing your problem?
    Thanks

  • May have a problem with video card

    Hi, I recently purchased my HP Pavilion 500-205t back in September. I haven't replaced anything in it yet. I'm not sure if I really should. I recently discovered that I am unable to watch videos on Youtube. It may sound silly to ask but I've tried everything I could think of to maybe fix my problem (updating flash, java, accepting cookies, clearing cache, restarted computer, tried a different browser, changed video quality, etc). I even made sure my graphics device was up to date on my computer. Nothing works! Is it because I actually need a video card? I assumed the computer actually came with it's own decent video card. I don't know if it's even my graphic card that's the problem. I obviously know nothing about computers so please I need your help!

    Hello @camaya08,
    I understand that you are having issues with your HP Pavilion 500-205t Desktop PC when watching YouTube videos. I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this I can provide you with accurate information.
    Which Windows operating system am I running?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    As well if you could describe what happens when you try to watch the YouTube video that would help as well.
    Please re-post with the requested information and I would be happy to provide you with assistance. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Problems with Gift Card and Credit Card

    I've read a lot of post, looked at videos on it and none of these have helped me with my problem. My Itunes won't allow me to remove my credit card and just recently what remained on my gift card balance. In fact I logged out and logged back in and now that money is gone when I still had money on it. The reason I reset my account was one, it was suggested but the original problem was because despite having money on said account it kept going back to the credit card to charge the payment to.
    Please help. I've done the whole account and tried to remove the credit card. It won't let me. I've tried resetting which put me in my current situation. And I'd really like to know how to remove a credit card. That would be really helpful too.

    On your Mac's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.

    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
    For no longer having a balance on your account, check your account's purchase history (which you can do via the Store > View Account menu option) : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support

  • G4 AGP, problems with Graphic Cards and booting from Install DVD

    I bought a G4 AGP (with DVD) on Ebay. It has Mac OS9.2 installed and its working correctly so far. It has an additional GraphicsCard in a PCI Slot, on which the Monitor is connected.
    1. The AGP Card doesn't give any output signal... I wondered if this would be the reason that somebody installed the additional Card...
    2. The AGP Card doens't show up in the Profiler... is this normal? According to other users this seems to be a common issue...
    3. I would like to install X 10.4, but when booting from CD, the process stops after a few seconds... and there is no signal on none of the video cards. I tried to remove one or the other card but no luck...
    the firmware is uptodate and the Install DVD is correct aswell, I just bought it from AppleStore...
    I don't have any original CDs available, so I cant run a hardware test.
    Anybody?
    G4 AGP   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    The AGP Card doesn't give any output signal... I wondered if this would be the reason that somebody installed the additional Card...
    Probably. I'd take out the bad original card and replace it with the additional card. Then, check and see if that's what caused the problem. Then only other choice is to take it to the Apple store and have them check it out.
    I don't have any original CDs available, so I cant run a hardware test.
    You can either contact the seller and complain about the missing disks or buy replacement disks for your machine. Give 1-800-MY-APPLE a call. The AHT disk should cost about $20. I don't know what the others would run.

  • Problems with video card.

    I might need your help with the following problems. I just installed the ati radeon hd 5670 card (and the drivers) on the hp pavillion p6516f. When i checked the settings on adobe photoshop cs5 (3d section) it's grayed out. But i installed the graphics card driver. Please somebody help!

    It looks like an older version.
    You can go here and download the 11.2 version, just
    after you get to the actual download page for your operating
    system, go to the bottom and pick previous drivers and then choose the 11.2 version.
