Windows 7 driver issue with graphics card

Currently windows 7 will not let me play most games because my graphics card(s)will not officially show up in my computer and system properties. I have installed boot camp drivers on windows, and searched nvidias site for a driver, but it still wont let me play steam games or games off of a DVD. I have a macbook pro and neither my 9400m or 9600gt will show up or let me play games.
even a link to the proper driver will do, please help!

I originally posted this elsewhere but it seems appropriate here.
I run a 27" quad iMac on Windows 7 and BC. For the most part it is OK but certain programs are glitchy. The vendors suggested uploading the latest ATI drivers for my Radeon 4850. Both Boot Camp and Windows tech support people tried to download the latest ATI drivers to my computer w/o success. Finally, an iMac "manager" told me that the latest ATI drivers wouldn't install on my computer because they were not Boot Camp drivers. ATI confirmed this. The latest available ATI driver is Boot Camp XP. ATI says Apple must request that ATI provide a Windows 7 Boot Camp driver. Apple apparently hasn't done this. I wrote Apple "Feedback" and suggest that others do so too.

  • Z68A-GD55(G3) BIOS Issue With Graphics Card

    I have been having a strange issue with the BIOS. When I use my graphics card it appears all glitched. (see below picture) When the graphics card is removed it appears fine using onboard graphics.
    Processor: Intel Core i7 2600k
    RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
    Graphics Card: MSI HD 6950 2GB Twin Frozr III
    PSU: Corsair TX850M
    Hard Drive: ADATA 60GB SSD

    What screen connection are you using ? Can you try a normal d-Sub connection to start with ?
    Also suggest you do a CMOS clear after the connection.
    What did you use before this card and did you clean all old drivers before installing the new card ?>>Driver Sweeper<<

  • Are there known issues with graphics cards?

    I have an Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz with 8GB of RAM and a graphics card with
    Intel HD Graphics
      Type:    GPU
      Bus:    Built-In
      VRAM (Total):    288 MB
      Vendor:    Intel (0x8086)
      Device ID:    0x0046
      Revision ID:    0x0018
      gMux Version:    1.9.21
    My screen occassionaly gets completely scrambled, where I move the trackpad and windows and other things will ghosted items will materialize in the background, though I am unable to click on anything or do anything, so I have to cut the power. This happens when I only have 1 or maybe 2 programs open.
    Are there any known issues with the graphics cards on these Macbook Pros? Anyone know what might be causing it?
    Thanks.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Issue with Graphics card...suggestions?

    So I currently have a 17" iMac 1.83 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Late 2006) that we were using as a secondary desktop for our daughter to use.  Last summer, after loading Lion onto our current iMac, I tried loading Lion onto older iMac after upgrading the RAM to make it compatible.  The RAM install went fine and was tested and all was good.  After the Lion install, the screen went squiggly indicating some kind of graphics issue.
    I had my friend inspect the issue (who is a Mac Genius) and he confirmed after various tests the graphics card went bad.  He further informed me that the card can only be replaced by replacing the motherboard since the graphics card is integrated into the board.  Sounds like a costly fix, according to him, for a secondary computer.
    My issue is, is it common for graphics cards to go bad like that?  Did the Lion install have something to do with graphics failure?  It all just seemed weird to me since the machine never gave us any issues in the past?  Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcomed!! 
    Finally, what would be a fair price if I tried selling it for parts on CL or eBay?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Sure is it is in the upper hundreds of dollars.  My friend just had one replace under warranty and it would have cost $800 out of pocket.
    My issue is, is it common for graphics cards to go bad like that? 
    No, it is not common, although Apple did have a GPU supplier that provided some faulty ones in a few instances: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2377
    Did the Lion install have something to do with graphics failure?
    No.  Installing an operating system should not cause a graphics card to fail.  Just a coincidence.
    Finally, what would be a fair price if I tried selling it for parts on CL or eBay?
    Whatever you can get for it really.  I'm not sure how one can accurately assess a value correctly on a Mac with such a crucial hardware component gone bad. 

  • Issues with graphic card on Macbook Pro 2011

    I just having problem with starting my Macboook. First, at start screen (gray background with the apple logo) appears pink/red horizontal lines over all the screen. Then, when i'm using my computer, screen goes black for no reason and i need to force restart to turn on the Mac.
    I can see that many people is having the same problem. ¿Someone knows what's going on? I can't believe this is happening to a "HIGH QUALITY" expensive computer. This seems happening to 2011 Macbook Pros...
    Joaquín.

    I had a similar problem on my iMac some years ago, and it was due to a graphic card failure, so I think it is the same problem for you. As it is a hardware problem, the only option is to take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get it fixed: you will get it fixed for free if your Mac is in warranty or if there is a replacement program.

  • On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it  a windows 8 issue?

    No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

  • Troubles with graphic card driver at Equium A60

    Hello everybody,
    At first sorry for my bad English.
    I have some trouble with the driver of my graphic card. After a new installation I just wanted to install the driver of the ATI Radeon 7000 (I have an Equium A60), after this I had to ascertain that my pc was out of order. The trouble was because the driver, I'm sure, because after a new installation, without the VGA-drive, my notebook is working, somehow.... I mean, I'm sure it could work better if the graphic would have an own driver.
    I have been searching on the web and I did see that this was not a new problem; many people have the same trouble with it. Somehow, the pc's own driver is not compatible.
    Could anyone help me to find a solution for my problem?
    Thanks a lot,
    Eurytheus

    Sorry my friend but your posting sounds really unbelievable. Original Toshiba driver is not compatible with the hardware. It can not be. It can not be the truth!
    Your notebook model is almost 4 years old and I presume Toshiba have had enough time to react if display driver is somehow problematic. I recommend you to back up all your data and try to install your notebook using original recovery image. If there is no hardware problem notebook should work well again.
    Sorry but I do not see any other solution there because the driver is definitely tested and it must work well.

  • How to Update the driver of your graphics card

    When I open Photoshop CC, I get this message:
    "3D features require a minimum of 512MB of vRAM. Photoshop has detected less than that on your system. Updating the driver of your graphics card may resolve the issue."
    I went to the website they recommended but found nothing about this. How can I determine if this is the problem? How do I find out how much vRAM I have? How do I update the driver of my graphics card?

    You cannot upgrade the GPU except by buying a newer model with a better GPU. Normally, with shared RAM the GPU will have a maximum of 384 MBs of VRAM with 4 GBs of installed RAM. That will increase by about 128 MBs per 2 GBs of additional installed RAM.

  • K9A2 CF-F troubles with graphics card

    My specs are in my signature.  This is a new build.  Everything went without a hitch until I tried to install my video card.
    I'm getting the following error in the Device Manager: Code 10 "device cannot start"
    When I boot up the computer tried to load CCC and then displays an error message like "Ati device no present or drivers are not working properly..."
    This is what I've done so far:
    1) Tried a different video card -> same error 
    2) Uninstalled and re-installed video card drivers (and different versions) -> same error
    3) Tested PSU with a voltmeter -> same error
    4) Set motherboard to "failsafe" and rebooted -> same error  >:(
    5) Tried it with 1.3 bios and 1.5 bios -> same error 
    6) Tried video card in second PCI-e slot -> same error 
    7) Tried it with drivers on the install disk and with updated drivers via MSI Update -> take a guess 
    Here's the kicker: this is my second board. 
    I RMA'd the last one because of this issue.  NOW, I'm thinking "user error".  I'll gladly eat crow if I could just get my video card to work.
    Help please.

    Either you have something creating a short, or there is something else preventing detection of the ATI card, like not seated properly. You do have motherboard drivers installed, I suppose.
    How about something from the old school? Put the initial ATI installation CD in. Enter Device Manager, choose to update the driver for the graphics card, and point it to the CD.
    Thanks for the feedback but I tried that already.  The driver clearly installs but the error comes up after I try to start CCC.  Also, the display property tags are not present (via 'right click' Properties from desktop) Thing is I get the same error with the 8800GTS (Code 10 device cannot start).  I'm hoping it's a simple OS error that will clear up when I reinstall tonight.
    I'll let you know.

  • Issue with graphics tearing on thumb scroll in Flex 3

    We are seeing some off issues with graphics (one using the charting package and the other using degrafa) tearing on thumb scrolling in a large Flex 3 app.  It's very hard to reproduce on OSX with the latest versions of Safari and Firefox, but it shows almost immediately when you run the app on Windows or Linux (regardless of the browser).  I took one of the pieces out of the app and put it into a very simple testbed app and can't get the problem to show on Windows (i was hoping to isolate the issue in a smaller test case, but no such luck).
    So, ii've got a few idea's on how to work around the issue, but i was wondering if anyone else has seen this type of problem before?
    Problem:   
         - graphics tear on thumb scroll
         - doesn't happen if you click in the track or use the arrows
         - one view is using the charting package, the other view is using degrafa
    Thanks for any comments or suggestions...

  • Need update driver of my graphics card

    How do I get an update driver of my graphics card?

    All the drivers you need are included in OS X. They're updated along with the rest of the system. There is no separate download.

  • LMS 4.2.3 - C6500 VSS - Issue with inline card on secondary chassis

    Hello,
    We are currently setting up a fresh new LMS 4.2.3 server to administrate a 90 LAN-device-perimiter. Installation is OK (on a Windows Server), devices are up, monitored and their configurations archived.
    The core switches are Catalyst 6506 VSS (s2t54-IPSERVICESK9-M - 15.1(1)SY) including 2 inlines cards :
    - WS-C6505E-SUP2T
    - WS-X6824-SFP-2T
    There is an issue with line card WS-X6824-SFP-2T recognition on secondary chassis only. We updated the last software packages for LMS (via Admin > Software Center > Device Update) and situation improved but still, it is not behaving as excepted.
    Impact : Topology, Ciscoview and Device Center for C6506-VSS do not show the card and links on the WS-X6824-SFP-2T of secondary chassis.
    Do you have this issue as well ? Any direction or help ?
    I am afraid of a potential bug...
    Rgds,
    Yoann

    When you were placing the internal test calls, where was your phone located?   The RTP streams are usually only set up between the two endpoints (assuming no transcoder or MTP is used).
    Have you have already checked calls between IP phones at your central site (where Unity is located) and IP Phones at site A?   Are these working fine?   If not, then it's likely you do have a QoS issue over the WAN to Site A.
    Have you confirmed whether or not calls from the PSTN gateway at site A experience any voice QoS issues when transferred to an IP Phone at the central site?
    Is the same codec is being used for the MGCP gateway as for IP Phones at that site (check the Region settings for the Device Pool it's in)?
    If these things have all been checked, then you may want to consider collecting a simultaneous sniffer trace from each end of a single call, and comparing what's seen at the two endpoints.
    Kind regards,
    Craig

  • Satellite M60: can not install the newest driver for my graphic card

    Can not install newest driver for my graphic card

    ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700

    Hello
    First of all I really dont understand why you start two topics with the same theme. It is much better to have one topic with good content and interesting comments. Am I right? ;)
    Anyway, in your case it is interesting that Toshiba use adapted drivers because of hardware protection. That means that graphic card will not be forced to run at the maximum level. Hardware cooling in notebooks is very problematic and high temperature can result with overheating or hardware damage. All hardware components are placed on small place. Graphic card produce a lot of warmness and it is not so good for all other hardware.
    When you use non-Toshiba driver graphic card will be forced to run faster. Because of that every notebook manufacturers dont support usage of third part drivers. The fact is that hardware protection is priority.
    I didnt make any experiments but according to some reports on this forum there is way how to install non-Toshiba graphic card driver.
    Please check this forum and you will find many comments about that. One interesting topic is http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=18063&messageID=66186

  • Problems with graphics card with CS5

    I am working a freelace gig using a G5 computer with Lion.
    When using CS5 photoshop there seems to be a problem using
    Mode/Index/Custom when using the eyedropper to select colors.
    I use the work around "key command" which is totally anoying.
    There is also a bug with the color picker/eydropper within the documents.
    I read that this has to do with the graphics card.
    Which graphics card do I need to resolve this issue?

    There are known issues/limitations with graphics cards in earlier machines.
    Known issues | Adobe on Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    Tested video cards | Photoshop CS5 - Adobe
