Trying to upgrade my video card but having no luck

Hey all, I am running an IBM Thinkpad T500, 4gig ram, Windows 7 (64-bit) with a ati mobility radeon HD 3650 video adapter.
Thinkvantage Toolbox says the latest video driver is from 2009... but ATI has one from August of 2010 at this link:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx
But it says my hardware's not supported, please contact my laptop maker.  So here I am.    Please help!  How do I get the newer version installed?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

BTY you can install the ATI and the INTEL GPU driver separately. They just will not switch automatically, you would need to switch them in the BIOS. And since your link is the correct driver I am almost certain your on the INTEL GPU which is why you are getting the error. Check the display settings in the BIOS by pressing F1 at startup.

  • I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

    I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

    Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...
    G5 PCIe options are listed here:

  • CAN I UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD ON MY LAPTOP? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR

    I'M PLANNING TO UPGRADE MY LAPTOP SINCE MANY SOFTWARE GAMES REQUIRES HIGHER VIDEO CARD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR.

    Not possible Unfortunately...all cards nowadays are built in only
    It was possible in the old days
    but laptop manufacturers found it more "profitable" to make it not, this way the user will have to buy a new laptop every few years.
    there are some third party solutions but they aren't effective really

  • I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570

    I want to upgrade my video card in my  HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570.  I want to upgrade to a professional monitor for photo editing and would like to know what is available?

    Jimg-evv, welcome to the forum.
    What is the make/model of the monitor that you want to buy.  I will provide the information for you, but it would help me to know more about the monitor.
    You can upgrade the video card.  However, most mid-level cards require at least 400W to operate properly.  The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W.  A card that would work for your needs would require a PSU upgrade, as well.
    I recommend at least 500W; 600W would be even better because it would allow for future upgrades.  I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's.
    You would need a PCI Express x16 video card.  I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  If you upgrade the PSU, this card should work for you.

  • MS-6714 trying to install new video card

    Well, I have done everything I can think of short of sledgehammering my computer into oblivion.  Just bought this comp it is a 2.8 celeron using the 6714.  Thought I could just stick a new video card in.  It recogzines the video card, but will not use it.  Even when I disable the on board through the device manager.  It just uses generic vga drivers.  Any clue how I can get this card to be used?

    Hi,
    Which 6714 are you using???
    Check link:

    2)which video card you trying to install and which version of drivers?
    3)what PSU do you have and model number?

  • I can't log into my iTunes account. I logger out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. Now when i press sign in and then choose existing Apple ID, nothing happens

    I can't log into my iTunes account on my iPhone 5s. I logged out a few days ago to trouble shoot because I was trying to redeem some iTunes cards but when i pressed redeem nothing happened. I then tried to log back in immediately afterwards. I was unable to do so. After clicking "sign in" at the bottom of the apps main page, it brought up another menu where I clicked "Choose existing Apple ID". After pressing this the menu disappeared and nothing happened. I tried this multiple times and received the same result each time. I tried the other available option of creating a new AP ID to log in with and that one worked perfectly fine. I am clueless as to why the log in for me is either not able to load or just completely blocking me from getting back into my iTunes account on my phone. Not only can I not listen to the music I currently have, but I cannot log in to purchase the new music that I wanted to with my unused iTunes gift cards

    I have the same problem too and tried alot of things like time zone , restarting or changing DNS of wifi connection to 8.8.8.8 still nothing happens .. !!

    Tried to upgrade os4 to os7 but could not due to "find my iphone" still turned on. 
    Could not turn it off at that stage so set up as new iphone.  Now icloud will only accept past id email address and password which i no longer have,
    but itunes on my phone has my correct current id and password.  I need to restore my back up from itunes, i did not use icloud.
    Any help please. 
    I did try yesterday but did not realise at that time that itunes had correct apple id.  Hopefully this is a good thing!

    Thank you for your prompt reply.
    I have looked at icloud.com/find numerous times and my iPad is not showing at all (see picture below). As I said I did turn off 'Find My iPhone' on my iPad and then erase all settings and data before taking it to the repair centre.
    The gentleman at the repair centre said that the device won't restore because "Apple thinks that 'Find My iPhone' is still turned on" (I'm repeating what he said).

  • I have a Mac OS X v 10.4.11 and trying to upgrade to snow leopard but it says I don't have enough RAM, what do I do?

    I have a Mac OS X v 10.4.11 and trying to upgrade to snow leopard but it says I don't have enough RAM, what do I do?

    What machine are you running on?
    As far as I recall, Snow Leopard's memory requirements were 1GB of RAM. All Intel-based Macs have shipped with at least that much, so I don't understand how you have a machine that doesn't have enough memory.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion. 
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
