X220 crashes after video driver

I have installed a 64GB Transcend mSATA and installed Windows 7 64bit from a DVD (using the DVD drive on the base pad). Windows installs fine, the problem seems to occur when I try to update the video driver. The file that seems to be causing me the trouble is the 'Intel HD Graphics Driver (Integrated) for Windows 7 (64-bit)'. However I try to install, it goes smoothly, then asks to restart. After that, I get to the Windows loading icon, but then it goes to bluescreen. Other drivers seem to install OK. Any help would be most gratefully recieved.
Solved!

Hello,
Check with Transcend to see if the latest firmware is installed in your SSD, then try installing all of the available updates for the system from Lenovo except the video driver and then from Microsoft via Windows Update, which may offer a different driver. Does that make any difference?

Spotify only displays black screen after video driver crashes

Using Windows 8.1 64x, AMD 7800 series card with the latest AMD 15.4 beta drivers. This driver release is prone to crashing. Spotify, though, doesn't recover after the driver crashes and only displays a black screen. Restarting the program fixes the problem, but it shouldn't have to be restarted in the first place.

I am so sorry to hear this, was it after an ad, i should be able to help, could you also tell me which country you are based in!

Fresh Win7, freeze while rebooting after video driver installation

Yesterday when I opened my laptop it froze while booting when the Win7 logo appears. Rebooted in safemode, all was good, didn't know what to look for exactly.
Today, I decided it was time for a new Win7 reinstall so I did it. Also, did a complete format of my SSD where I keep only my OS.
While it was rebooting after installing the AMD video driver it froze again, in the same spot. Restarted the laptop, chose last known good config and noticed in device manager that one of the video cards had error 43 (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43))
I tried to install the driver for Intel then, but I got an error saying my laptop does not have the minimum requierments (even for older versions of the driver)
I tried every possible combination of installing, uninstalling, enabling, disabling one of the cards.
When I install the AMD driver, the Intel driver installs itself too.
When I leave AMD graphics enabled, it freezez at Win7 logo while booting,
When I disable AMD and leave just Intel enabled, then it boots normally, but right after the reboot, device manager shows them both with yellow triangle and "!" with error "This device cannot work properly until you restart your computer. (Code 14)", and of course, if I reboot then it freezes again.
I have already spent 10h on this and couldn't find a way to fix it.

Hi
Using Advanced boot options ( F8 at start up ) go into Safe Mode with Command prompt , Once Safe mode loads with command prompt type rstrui.exe hit Enter .... This will take you into System Restore ... Follow the onscreen instructions to Restore your system to the time before the AMD driver was installed . You can choose from multiple restore points if they have been created by you or your system .

MAC OS 10.4 CRASHES AFTER HARD DRIVE UPGRADE

I just bought a HITACHI hard drive for my iBook G4 1.33ghz. I installed the hard drive with no problems. After installing MAC OS X 10.4.2 & upgrading to 10.4.11, the OS keeps crashing, Ive done a APPLE HARDWARE TEST everything fine, Ive used disk utility to check for problems everything fine, Ive contacted HITACHI not response (3 week have past by). Im runing out of ideas. HELP!

Hi,
You say
while OSX can easily be installed and booted from an external HD,
Stefan
Well I thought it should be easy, but I must be missing something. I bought a 100GB HD for a laptop that didn't turn out to need it, so I thought it would be good to install 10.4.11 on it so I could use it to start up coomputers having HD problems. I put it into a USB "slim carrier", plugged it into my iBook, put the install disk into the superdrive and clicked install. When the iBook re-started and the installation steps showed up, the drive showed up, but the install program showed the drive as a non-installable location.
Is there another way to do this? Must it be in a firewire enclosure, or should USB work?
Many thanks for any hints here,
...Tom

Mac OS X crashes after hard drive installation

I just recently installed a new Hard Drive in my iBook G4. I noticed that after I installed OS X 10.4.2 the OS started crashing every time it booted. Ive done an APPLE HARD WARE TEST to see if my iBook was Ok & it was. I did an upgrade from 10.4.2 to 10.4.11 & the OS still crashes. I formated the drive & installed UBUNTU LINUX 7.10 to see if UBUNTU would crash, I was thinking it might be the drive that is defective, but no. Ubuntu linux runs great with no issues, the drive I installed is a HITACHI drive model:HTS541616J9AT00 & OS X 10.4.11 crashes always. WHY? ANY IDEAS?

Jup they are the installation disks that came with my ibook g4, & I have done that before,What u just said. The OS will crash during the boot, but sometimes im able to use my mac for a while then it crashes. I was thinking it was the HARD DRIVE but no, at this moment my ibook g4 is running UBUNTU LINUX with no issues. The hard drive is a hitachi drive, the support website says it needs no DRIVERS for the iBook. It has to be the OS not supporting my drive??? maybe??

Photoshop crash maybe video driver

I've been having a problem with photoshop crashing sometime while working in 3d. according to the reliabilty monitor it is related to a dll named "AHCLIENT.DLL." I could be wrong but this file is part of adobes help.
I have been told that it is due to outdated video card driver which to me make no sense, however.
I'd apreciate any thoughts and suggestion on this problem. TIA
My h8-1080t consist of:
Windows 8 pro
Norton Internet Security
The IPMTB-TK (Truckee) motherboard
intel core 7, 6 core, @3.2ghz
Geforce 545 3gb ram
12gb system ram

Hi cyberwasp,
You are right that the AHCLIENT.DLL is an Adobe help file. I would suggest checking out the Adobe forums you are more likely to find someone who can help you there.

QuickTime crashes after Video settings

I want to export my 3gp video to an avi, but when I click on the settings and into the video's settings, it just exit the whole program. I've re-installed and restarted my computer after each installation and it still doesn't help.

Okay, there is a solution for this.. I've read it somewhere else in this forum, but here is some more info and a couple of links.
You have to roll back your NVidia Display driver to version:
ForceWare Release 90
Version: 94.24
Release Date: May 31, 2007
+WHQL Certified+

ITunes 10.3.1 crashing after video plays

This does not happen every time, but frequently enough to be a pain. I am to the point of avoiding playing videos now as when it crashes, it stops responding and I must go and end the program manually through the Task Manager.
I am running Win 7, 64 bitand have a fairly new computer, so it should not be an issue of old hardware.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Ditto happening to me as well.

Raid mode very slow/ crashing after installing driver (Z68A-GD65 (G3))

I recently purchased a Z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard, i5-2500K, 8 gb ram, and a Crucial 64GB 4m SSD drive. The intention was to use the SSD drive for Intel Smart Response Tech.
Instructions tell me to place the SATA ports in RAID mode, which I did. During installation of Windows 7 (64-bit), I provided the "F6" raid drivers which installed. After that point, my hard drive (a WD 250GB SATAII drive) begins to perform incredibly slow. Once Windows 7 installs, which takes way longer than it should, Windows has problems booting and won't work properly.
I tried installing Windows 7 without the "F6" raid drive on install and that worked fine. Everything seemed to be working great. I then installed the Intel Rapid Storage Tech software and rebooted. Now my system is acting up again. It takes far longer to boot, it shuts down as soon as it boots, and it has even blue screened on boot. It is very unstable.
My SSD is unplugged during all of this. I'm just trying to get Windows 7 to run properly on my one mechanical drive in raid mode.
Do I have a bad motherboard? Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I'm not using the Marvell ports. The hard drive works fine in IDE/ACHI modes... I've been using it for years.
Thanks

So it turned out that the issue was the hard drive itself. It had been running flawlessly for years as my system drive. However, the Intel iastor driver exposed a hidden issue with the drive.
I decided to check the Windows system event log for any clues. In there I saw errors with event id 9 on iastor. They were lined up with the times of the hangs and blue screens. Solutions I found online for this issue did not help. Luckily I have two hard drives in my system, although they are both the same model. I moved my data around and clean installed Windows on the other drive instead. The hangs and blue screens are no longer occurring.

Skype 7.3 crashes AMD video driver on Win 8.1 if w...

I know that this topic is quite popular, but I have an additional effect which might be helpful to trace down the problem. Whatever I did before, Skype crashed my AMD video drivers on first attempt to use the webcam IF THE WEBCAM IS NOT IN USE!
If I block the webcam by using the native Logitec Application before opening the Skype video settings dialog, I get an appropriate message from Skype in the video window. Then I close down the Logitec Application. And now, THE VIDEO SHOWS UP in Skype without any problems.
REPEATABLE, and a nice workaround for me.

Intel HD video driver update forced antialiasing problem

X220, Windows 7 x64. After video driver update from version 8.15.10.2769 to 9.17.10.2843 I noticed the text is blurry because some kind of antialiasing has been applied. I use Windows Classic theme and have ClearType turned off. The kind of anti-aliasing was different than the one used in Windows. I had to revert back to driver version 8.15.10.2769 to get rid of that.
I haven't found any setting in Intel video advanced settings to disable it. Note that I'm talking about anti-aliasing in 2D mode, not 3D games. It seems as some kind of subpixel antialising has been applied by the driver
Attached screenshot not a very good quality but the difference is noticeable:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/20661iED4444BA658573DD/

Hello,
I am not sure if this will make a difference or not, but have you tried enabling ClearType and using the ClearType Tuner (filename: CTTUNE.EXE) to see if you can come up with a setting that you like?

ITunes crashes while accessing iTunes Store with a intel video driver

I have a DELL laptop running Windows 8.1 with i7 4500U at 1.8G, 8G ram, 1TB hard disk, NVidia GT750M, iTunes is working fine at downloading or updating apps but crashes while I trying to accessing iTunes Store, no matter I choose run with intel integrated video card or Nvidia video card.
I wonder if this is happened because of Win 8.1 incompatibility or intel video driver, the driver is up to date and if I try an older driver, iTunes won't start at all.
The same thing happens with Adobe Photoshop CC 64bit, it just get freezed but get an error message said intel driver is crashed and auto recovered.
a message is shown if I run iTunes with intel video card by default when i access itunes store, but itunes quit if I try nvidia video card, without any error message.

I'd like to add some more details to my question.
I don't know if this happens at Win8 since I updated to Win 8.1 right after I purchased my laptop, all Win patches are up to date and also iTunes, I am running Win 8.1 64bit Pro version.
I tryed to reinstall iTunes, install quicktime or reinstall quicktime, also tryed to use microsoft kb 2639417, but it does not support win 8.1.

Intel video drivers crash after update

Hi all,
I have S540 ultrabook and I use it with onelinkdock with external screen and laptop screen in extend mode.
After 8.1 upgrade on boot I receive the error message "Catalyst Control Center stop working", but everythings works fine.
After Lenovo upgrade (including video driver) I don't receive the message anymore, but using the docking with extend screen, I face frequent black screen on external monitor. After few minutes also the main one became black and I got the message "intel video drivers crash and reset".
Someone face the same issue?
Thanks for your help

I'm having the same issue as well, I'm currently at work so as of right now I can't try to restore mine, but the strange thing with mine is that I updated mine the day the iOS 4.0 came out and had no problems until last night. Now the music and video sections keep crashing after just a few seconds. Also all my Podcast are gone, the only things missing and I even re-downloaded them last night and they're still gone.

Videos crash after 2 seconds (and other issues)

Hello,
I own a HP Pavilion DV6 6180ep and I'm experiencing a few problems while running Windows 8.1 .
- sometimes when I receive windows notifications (the ones on the upper right corner), the computer freezes (I can't click on the notification) and the sound crashes too, and only after 20/30 seconds everything starts working properly. When this happens, in the moment that everything comes back to normal, sometimes I hear a lot of windows sounds at the same time.
- videos in general crash after 2 seconds of playing (on every platform: youtube, facebook, VLC player, ...). I have to wait 20/30 seconds and everything comes back to normal again.
These are minor issues but after some time it's very annoying. I've been asking some people with similar laptops and many of them complain about these issues too.
Thank you.

Hi @Duarteman ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you are having some graphics issues with your Pavilion after upgrading to Windows 8.1. The reason you are having problems is that there are no specific drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1 for this model. Your Pavilion also has switchable graphics which means you have two video cards. The drivers for these cards have be to configured the manufacturer of the notebook so you can't use a driver from AMD.
Your best bet is to use a set of recovery discs and go back to Windows 7.
