X1 Carbon 3rd.gen Chrome crashes on Youtube videos after Intel HD Graphics Driver 10.18.14.42 update

Hi!
Chrome crashes at Youtube videos after Intel HD Graphics Driver 10.18.14.4206 update on Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd.gen. Since the driver update yesterday, laptop starts suddenly to overheat enormously and become super-noisy as soon as I try to open a Youtube video , no matter on Youtube page, or a external provider with embded youtube video. Chrome becomes unresponsible and has to be terminated. Laptop continues to use fan at extreme level for abot 20 more seconds and then cools down. IE plays youtube videos without problem and all the other videos from Facebook i.e. are playing. Tried original and also Beta version of Chrome, which doesn't help.
Kind regards,Daniil

Hey guys, T450s user here. I think I found an even better workaround for this issue without having to disable hardware acceleration and lower the performance of Chrome as a whole. After long trial and error I found the that driver-related issue is generally narrowed-down to HTML5 acceleration for video playback. By installing the following Chrome Extension I was able to revert YouTube back to the old Flash-based YouTube player and now even 4K playback is absolutely stellar on my T450s running the latest .4222 driver directly from Intel's site! https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24964/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit This is of course by no means a fix of any kind but I think it is the best workaround that we have to this date without having to sacrifice performance in Chrome as a whole. Try it out guys! https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-youtube-html5-pla/enmofgaijnbjpblfljopnpdogpldapoc?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

  • 2560 x 1440 in VMware Workstatio​n 11 with X1 Carbon 3rd gen?

    I've installed Windows 10 Preview in a virtual machine with VMware Workstation 11 on my X1 Carbon 3rd gen. (20BS). By default, the display in the VM is recognized as Generic Non-PnP Monitor and the highest compatible resolution I can select for it is 1920x1440, which means I have black vertical bars on both sides. Other, higher listed resolutions are: 2048x1536, 2560x1600 and 2560x1920, but what I want is 2560x1440.
    As suggested in this VMware KB article, I have added the following lines to the .vmx file:
    svga.autodetect = "FALSE"
    svga.vramSize = 14745600
    svga.maxWidth = 2560
    svga.maxHeight = 1440
    14745600 is 2560x1440x4.
    However, this doesn't work. When I start the VM, I get a dialog box telling me: "The virtual machine could not be changed to the selected monitor layout."
    Is anyone able to run a Windows VM at 2560x1440 on an X1 Carbon with VMWare Workstation 11?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I found the solution here: disable 3D acceleration.
    This is done by changing the following line in the .vmx:
    mks.enable3d = "TRUE"
    to:
    mks.enable3d = "FALSE"
    I'm now able to run Windows 10 Preview at the full 2560x1440 resolution supported by my X1 Carbon, great!

  • X1 Carbon (3rd Gen, 2015) sound in xubuntu 15.04

    I am running xubuntu 15.04 on an X1 carbon 3rd gen. Mostly works great. But sound volume is much lower than in Windows, whether through built-in speakers or through headphones. I have turned up all output devices and playback applications to 100% in the pulseaudo control panel, but it's still too quiet. If I go > 100%, it distorts. Has anyone else experienced this? 

    AFAICT, it's a bit of a known issue with ALSA.
    You might want to try fiddling with the preamp in the equalizer, and set any frequencies that the speakers can't play to zero.
    FWIW, here's my foobar2000 equalizer for my W520 under Windows (no Dolby), which is a bit louder than uneqed and doesn't seem to clip audibly on most audio sources.

  • Power Map causes Intel HD Graphics Driver to crash or Blue Screen (BAD_POOL_HEADER)

    Hello,
    I have a user who is attempting to use Excel 2013's Power Map Add-in, however, he had this to say:
    "I can regionally map counties without an issue, but the Zip Code mapping is
    always giving me problems. It may be because there are so many zips in the
    state."
    He is using a Lenovo 440p laptop with Windows 7 Professional x64 and I have already updated his Intel HD graphics driver using the official driver tool from Intel, has well
    as Lenovo's driver update software. Also, here are some screenshots below. Are there plans for a hotfix or can someone advise on a solution? Thank you.

  • IPod Nano 3rd gen freezing/crashing on connect

    This is extremely frustrating.
    My Nano (8gb, 3rd gen) recently started freezing whenever I connect it to the computer (iMac 20"). I have to reset it (lock on/off and depress menu/select simultaneously and hold for a few seconds).
    I currently have iPod firmware (1.1.3) installed.
    I was having no problems with it until recently - and here's what changed:
    -I finally registered my iPod after being tired of seeing the screen pop up everytime I connected to iTunes.
    -I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (8.1).
    Now, I don't know if either of these are coincidence or related to my crashing iPod... but it was interesting that I just registered the unit and started experiencing issues. Again, could be the iTunes software. Who knows. I surely don't.
    I also noticed that the iPod (once reset and if not frozen) also will show connected only for a few seconds if iTunes is launched (suddenly the iPod shows on the desktop), indicates a sync is in progress, and then disconnects. Is this normal? This didn't do this before either.
    I tried just about everything suggested on the forums to no avail (make sure you're not playing any tunes when connected, uncoil the cable, etc).
    I know there are several posts on this issue, but I have yet to see one that resolves it adequately, or without having to sprinkle pixie dust and jump on one foot. I don't believe the cable has suddenly gone bad or is getting too many Gaussian rays from being coiled up. It's just too strange that this started happening when it did, when nothing else changed but what I stated.
    Has this been fixed??? If not...
    Apple - please fix it... *blowing out the candles*.

    Hey- i was reading your post, after posting my problems. I had never had any probs w/ my iPod and not it's saying I have to restore to get my MacBook to recognize it. Here's the thing- I just did an iTunes upgrade also. Interesting... Did u find any "cure" for ur prob? If not, can I borrow some of that pixie dust? Please let me know what u did- I don't want to lose all my music!!!

  • X1 Carbon (3rd Gen, 2015) questions

    Hi all
    Displayport
    The X1 Carbon 3rd generation (X1 3rd Gen) sports a mini 1.2 displayport (1.2 mDP). The 1.2 DP standard supports daisy chaining of monitors using multi stream transport (MST).
    Does this mean the X1 3rd Gen is good to power two 1.2 displayport capable monitors using just the 1.2 mDP?
    What about the internal / built-in display, can it be driven at the same time as two external monitors?
    If it is not possible with the mDP alone, is it possible to have all three (internal + 2x external) monitors driven by using the HDMI port also?
    Memory
    Is the 8GB memory limit due the lack of  >8GB modules - i.e. there is no 16Gb modules for thsi kind of use?
    Changing keyboard
    Is the keyboard a Customer Replaceable Part (CRU)? It seems to be so for the 1st generation, but I couldn't find anything for the 3rd generation.
    Thanks!

    Yes, but you'll need either a monitor with both DisplayPort input and output (you have to attach that monitor to your ThinkPad and the second monitor to the DisplayPort output of the first one) or a DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport hub. More information about daisy chaining: http://www.displayport.org/cables/driving-multiple-displays-from-a-single-displayport-output/

    Both should be possible.

    No, it isn't (according to the Hardware Maintenance Manual).

  • X1 carbon 3rd gen, lcd panel upgrade

    Hello,I have a X1c 3rd gen with the FHD TN-panel. I don't like this panel very much, and would like to upgrade it. What options do I have, and where do I find the parts?If at all possible I would like to get the WQHD with touch panel. Can I install that on my X1c?Second option would be to get the non-touch WQHD IPS screen.  Thanks,Jonte

    There are no panels manufacturer p/ns or Lenovo service p/ns (FRU) on the site. So, if that site clames panels compatibility with x1c gen3, the IPS screen looks like a proper choice, its price matches the such screens.
    My only question is a screen surface type. X1C FHD non-touch screens laptop supports are anti-glare (have a look at the fru_bom file above), while the site promises glossy surface for the IPS screen. At the same time the IPS screen at the bottom (out of the stock) is matte. So, obviously it's needed to request the panels manufacturer p/n and Lenovo FRU the site offers..

  • X1 Carbon (3rd Gen, 2015) HDMI audio issue

    Hi,
    i recently used my X1 to connect it to my TV via HDMI. It worked like a charm. Yesterday it stopped working (Nothing was changed. Audio was working, lid was shut. Lid was opened the other day, audio is not working...). I get a video signal, but no audio. To verify, that this is no issue on the hardware defect issue, I booted to an installed Debian and there I get an audio signal over HDMI.
    After that I deinstalled the audio and graphic driver, rebooted, installed the audio driver, rebooted again, installed the graphics driver, rebooted again. Still no working audio over HDMI.
    After that I tried the procedure above again but installed the audio driver first. Still no success.
    The HDMI audo device does not show up in the playback device tab. Not even if I select to show me disconnected devices.
    OS: Win 8.1 64bit, drivers a all newest.
    What to try next? Any ideas?

    You are welcome...you need not worry about the temperature...the temperature (or the boot etc.) was on the older SM 941 one problem..and also you will not have any problem with the latest  bios version on the carbon  .there is no white list in the carbon bios  etc.for the ssd's (that means you can use any ssd's on the carbon..Samsung ,Toschiba ,Intel etc..at the moment only Samsung is x4 speed and the fastest on the market) in the bios..and  the bios will detect it as a bootable drive whitout any problem...and that's the truth and fact.Best regards..

    No crash reports have ben submitted as I was not able to get back to my desktop without re booting my PC as I was in full screen mode and Alt-Tab allowed me to tab through open applications they did not actually switch to the fore ground leaving me with the cideo paused at the point Firefox crashed.
    I was able to see the firefox has crashed window whilst Alt-Tabbing but not able to switch to it.
    I was watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05x1Jk4rT1A youtube video in full screen mode. when firefox crashed.
    I have been experiencing this a lot on my old Ubuntu installation but put it down to possible conflicts with other installed software or installed plugins. In fact I got so frustrated with this that I switched to using Google Chrome which had no issues like this whatsoever.
    However I thought I would give Firefox another go on a fresh installation to see if anything had improved.
    I have read many posts and seen plenty of reports of this issue but sadly no solutions go back through lots of versions of Firefox.
    I'm using the default open source video drivers.
    I'm going to go back to using Google Chrome as it is far more sxtable so there is no urgency to resolving this issue but maybe you can find some solution to this seemingly common problem as I have a bit of a soft spot for Firefox and am kinda sad that this issue still exists after all this time.
    I am happy to try things out if it is of any help

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox crashes loading youtube videos but only there. it's working on other video pages. i started it in a safed modus but the problem is still there. I reinstalled firefox and the flash pluggin but it didn't help anything. What can I try else?

    I'm using firefox 3.6.8.
    All my pluggins are up to date
    Using a link to a youtube video or on youtube itself the page crashes. I only can hear the sound for some seconds, then that stopps too. I have to close firefox using taskmanager, nothing else is working anymore.

    Thanks again for your help.
    I did these two updates now (java and plugin) and tried some youtube videos. At the beginning I thoughts that it is working now, because normally firefox crashed already with the first or second video. Now it's working for 5-10 videos and only every 5th-10th video brings firefox to crash.
    With the plugin-container process thing I'm not really sure what to do. Do I have to disable the crash protection? (the 4 things that are written for window?) Could you maybe help me with this again?

  • Need to backup Time Capsule, (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 used as wireless router and network drive

    I use Time Capsule, 802.11n (3rd Gen) 7.6.1 (1Tb) as a wireless router and a network drive. I do not use Time Machine at all. How do I create a backup of the files housed on the Time Capsule to an external drive?
    Also, why does the use of Time Capsule as a network drive seem to be such an usual configuration? The configuration makes sense to me, aside from the inability to automatically back up the Time Capsule itself to a cloud or other drive, which, to me, is what really makes no sense at all. Is there something else I should be using? I'm not too familiar with the wisest way to set up a home network. I just know I like to wirelessly have access to my files from multiple computers within my household as opposed to saving files on any one computer locally.
    Thanks for your assistance and advise!
    erinblythe

    You could connect a USB hard-drive to the USB port on the TimeCapsule and Enable Disk Sharing on both the TC's Built in Drive as well as the USB connected one.
    Then these drives can be mounted using finder and files copied between them as needed.
    The main advantage of time-machine is - automation(like you mentioned) + to be able to go back in time - i.e. ability to restore files from a certain date/time. Multiple versions are available for restore.
    Also in Mountain Lion - You can restore your mac from a time machine backup very easily - it is one of the options when you boot to the Recovery Partition (ditto when you boot ML from DVD/USB)
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod touch (3rd gen) won't Charge with iHome after iOS5

    I use an iHome (iH8 model) to charge my 3rd generation iPod touch, but after I updated to iOS5 I got the message "This accessory does not support charging" the first time I tried to change on the iHome, and every time after that it doesn't even seem to think it is connected to anything and will not charge.  It will charge fine on a USB cable connected to my computer.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I know this may sound stupid, but it was the same problem I had and wanted to tell you just in case you have a case on your ipod.
    I had a soft gel case on my ipod touch and it prevented the cables from going in all the way.  It would work from time to time and in the computer USB and wall charger it would work once then not for a few weeks.  I just make sure my cover is not in the way of any of the cords and I have never had that problem again. 
    mine is the 3rd Gen touch too.
