14 - n204sf Pavilion: Pavilion 14-204sf has an AMD graphics card but driver update for a nVidia

Hi, in my attempts to find a solution to my problem with the current for my Pavilion 14-n204sf graphics driver, I found on the web from the list of available drivers HP site in which the graphics driver is a Nvidia card in the machine is an AMD Radeon 8670 M as shown in the master database and reported in the control panel of the machine. What is the reason for this discrepancy? Do both adapters use the same driver or is this just a mistake - and in this case, where is the Radeon driver?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @jlb21,

Thank you for your inquiry.

I understand that you upgraded your system to Windows 10 now looking a driver updated for the AMD Radeon 8670 M and there is not a list on the page of software and the driver for your model.

If this does not work, you can try to install a driver on the AMD website, but can find that you do not get the same options as before.

Drivers + download - drivers & Support AMD Center

You may consider contacting HP support for assistance or perform recovery to factory.

If you decide that option and that you don't create recovery media, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 6053er: problem with AMD graphics card.

    Hello. My name is Andriy. I use the HP Pavilion dv7 6053er of 2011 with win 7. I have updated my OS to win 10 in August 2015 and everything was good, but in September, I found a problem that I can't solve.

    As you know this laptop has two cards which ATI RADEON 6770 m video and its does not work. For example, in the Device Manager there are two cards:

    1 AMD Radeon HD 6700 M series

    2 Intel HD Graphics 3000

    In AMD Catalyst Control Center, I chose in the maximum capacity of all the options, but after I start, for example, Total War: Rome 2 the game see only Intel card. It is the same with windows I can't change the brightness using hotkeys (FN + F2 or F3). Keyboard shortcuts work because I can switch the WiFi, increase/decrease the volume and others.

    That's why I even reinstall AMD Catalyst Control Center, but it does not help.

    If someone knows how to fix this please help me.

    I have a solution:

    It was necesery to delet all software AMD and once mor reinstal AMD Catalyst Control Center after I did this all starts to work normally.

  • HP Pavilion A14Ld-550 desktop: this office has a replaceable graphics card?

    The HP Pavilion 550 desktop computer - A14Ld has a replaceable graphics card? I often hear on an integrated graphics card, it is the question that I am trading for this model, and it has 4 GB memory graphics dedicated with AMD Radeon R5 graphics card and an AMD A8-6410 processor, 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB of HDD with Windows 8.1. So, is this model with the characteristics I've listed have his replaced graphics card?

    The answer is NO, because the HP is not a 550-A14Ld graphic slot PCIEx16. The actual GPU is anchored in the CPU chip. The concept is a like a laptop computer in a matter of funds. The real PSU (power supply) is really a brick 65W, very similar to a computer laptop power supply. I'm so glad you asked!

    Can anyone tell me how I can get this to work.

    Thank you

    Schmatrix, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you are having, it is that the video card requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released in February 2012.  You must contact the Technical Support of Zotac to see if they have a VBIOS update that will solve your problem.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1154 does support Dual AMD graphics card?

    I have a Pavilion p7-1154 - serial number {removed privacy} - the motherboard is an AAHD3-HB (stock MB) made by Pegatron. I updated the stock 16 GB of Corsair vengeance 1600 6 GB 1333 RAM and upgraded the processor an AMD A6 3600 to an AMD A8-3850, all according to the guide of HP upgrade for this machine. I've also updated the PSU of 300w for a 500w 80Plus Bronze certified PSU Corsair stock.

    Now that's what I'done this day - what I want to know is the MB (AAHD3-HB) does support Dual AMD graphics card, using the proposed graphics cards, I would use a Radeon 6670 GPU.

    Mike, after consultation with the other members, I think that double graphis is unavailable because it is not indicated in the specifications.

    However, here is a Youtube video on the CPU.  If you do not find that you were able to use it by a change in the BIOS, please share this information with the forum.  Thank you!

  • Pavilion 15-n023cl: Windows 10 problem with AMD graphics card laptop Pavillion

    Upgrade to Windows 10, but it can only function in Mode without failure.  Installation seemed to go very well.  At the start of Windows 10 for the first time, developed the background of the desktop and the taskbar, but not the icons on the desktop.  When I put the cursor on the task bar, it shows that the system is busy.  The screen flashes then between black and the wallpaper image, with the bar to come a fraction of a second before the background image of the tasks.  These images alternate with an interval of one second.

    Microsoft advised me to update my graphics driver, but the system shows that I have the latest version of the driver for the AMD graphics card.  Any advice?

    Found the problem.  The 8510 G AMD Radeon HD display device is not compatible with Windows 10.  Only the 8570 and higher series models are compatible.  It would be good if HP had some sort of program or advice to help us Pavilion 15-n230cl owners spend so we can run Windows 10.  Restored Windows 8, everything is back to normal.

  • HP Pavilion 15-n057sr: AMD graphics card does not work on windows 10

    Hello!

    I have an AMD graphics card in my laptop, but there is no drivers for windows 10 forher.

    Installation driver Windows 8.1, latest drivers from amd or windows has always led to a screen of death, and after him, he appears each time you start. To solve it, I fix it using restore points. So, why hp doesn't have a driver for his own material? I'm looking for a working one?

    Thank you in advance.

    OK... so what this means is that, while HP provides two models of this laptop, with pre-installed Win8x and the other with Win10, they have different hardware.  The Win10 version apparently does NOT use the AMD chipset, so HP provides no driver for it.

    This means that you're stuck with having upgraded a laptop computer for which there aren't the necessary drivers for HP Win10, and given that HP no longer produces Win10 drivers for older laptops, this situation will not improve over time.

    If you want to have all the features on your laptop, you should consider to return to Win8xs - and that the upgrade of Win10 is known to corrupt recovery information HP OEM, the ONLY way to do that is using recovery media HP to restore laptop factory.

  • Pavilion DM4 1028tx: 1028tx Dm4 ati graphics card

    Hello

    My 1028tx DM4 had a graphics card works exactly 3 years, the day that my warranty has expired, the graphics card burned. So in Device Manager, I disabled and was happily running my pc on the graphics card intel HD.

    Recently, I found my card on ebay, very cheap, so I bought and replaced it in my lappy. However, now I can't get a helping hand on the graphics drivers. The AMD website gave me a catalyst software, when I install it, it says that my card is not supported. I can't find what card I install. Failed update in Device Manager, windows update is fully on, and it does not give me the driver. I tried all that.

    If anyone here uses HP dm4 1028tx, please let me know which ATI Radeon card is. I know its 1 GB, and I think it's 4XXX or 5XXX something. I need to know what card it is so I can try to locate the driver some forums and p2p hosts.

    Altrernatively, if someone knows a link to download, it will be pure awesomeness!

    Very much appreciated.

    Kind regards.

  • Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen.

    Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen, sometimes flashing. It is sometimes difficult to use the screen, especially when it has a dark background. It is a HP Desktop quad core with card Nvidia GEForce 9600.  I tried to roll back the driver, but that didn't help. I assume that the driver I need is no longer available. I also went to Nvidia to try to find a better driver that would eliminate this problem, but no luck.  Before, this came with an update on Vista, & I could correct in the way to roll back the driver. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Pavilion p6-2489ea: will be this Graphics Card work on my PC?

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade my current graphics on this PC card a NVIDIA GT630 for an Asus NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti.

    My current features on the PC are:

    Model: HP Pavilion p6-2489ea

    Motherboard: h-joshua-h61-µATX

    RAM: 8 GB

    Power: 300W

    CPU: i5 - 3350P

    I understand that I may also update my 500w all about food but other than that I just wanted to know if my PC would be able to support the graphics card GTX 750 TI?

    Hello

    Consult this publication of the article.

    Some models of the NVIDIA GTX 750 TI require a PCI-E power connector 6 pin auxiliary. The 300 watt PSU is not this power connector.  If the particular graphics you plan requires the auxiliary power connector, then you need to replace the power supply.  If this isn't the case, then you don't need to replace the power supply.

    Your PC has a BIOS version 8 so the NVIDIA GTX 750 should work.

    There are published of the updates to the BIOSof your PC you can consider applying the last update. There is always a risk of the BIOS update. I keep my PC on UPS to avoid having a power failure during the BIOS update process. You must disable Secure Boot in the BIOS and save the changes. Then start and apply the update to the BIOS.  A your PC is stable and then install the new graphics card.

  • Upgrading a p6510f Pavilion with a new power supply, graphics card and RAM work?

    Well, here's the deal that I go back to Japan for about 3 months and during this time I will borrow my laptop Cousins (in Exchange for my office) for Skype etc.. No problem their the thing is that he is a player and this p6510f has a few bad specifications when it comes to this, so I thought that I could let him borrow some cake rather than dirt, if you catch my drift ha... As well, when I get back gamer I ~ ('voice of Yoda"aka How Japanese works...)

    So I looked on Newegg / Amazon read comments and planned my purchase but the question is can this case and the Board of Directors manage what I use? lazy to measure everything out / busy.

    So first thing, I would like to replace:

    Replace the 2 x 2 GB ram cards default with:

    4 x Corsair blue Vengeance 4 GB (2 X 4 GB) 1600 mHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM of 240 pins

    For a total of ram 16 GB with my x 64 bit PC of course

    Link: http://AMZN.to/KtMt9m (note that I buy two)

    Replacing power 250w with an overkill rather one but it is the same price as a 550w then why not eh? After all the future upgrade/ability to use it in future builds?

    1 x Corsair Enthusiast Series 650 watts 80 Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply Compatible with Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD platforms

    For the graphics card + overclocking.

    Link: http://AMZN.to/IkLTdp 

    Finally no more ATI integrated BS... Please for the love of the creator (will it work?)

    1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI

    If my PC can adapt to this card, and it works with power above that will make me happy enough. (Regarding the cooling if it becomes a problem, I can upgrade fans me but first comes this material.)

    I checked the slot for graphics card, RAM and power supply power and it seems to me that this will work out I want just a professional opinion...

    Hello

    According to Corsair, the DIMMs that you chose is detected only at 1600 mhz, which is not in the specifications published by HP.

    You can roll the dice on the DIMMs that you chose, but I wouldn't recommend that buy you them until you contact Corsair and get a confirmation.  Computers HP can be very finicky with DIMMs, especially if you try to mix them with other DIMM modules.  If you do buy these bars and want to be them mixed with the existing DIMMs, then make sure the timings of latency CASE corresponding information validated HP. Also mix DIMM sizes will cause the memory function in unbalanced mode that adversely affect the performance of the memory.

    You should be able to make your own decision on whether to roll the dice.

  • HP Pavilion P7-1155: Installation of new graphics cards hp p7-1155

    I have a new EVGA GEFORCE GT730 2 GB GDDR5 graphics card and am ready to install it in the box above.

    Haggiscat suggested this card through a previous post on this site. I printed the directions of installation of help from hp and I so the mechanics of the installation of this thing. These directions say disable the first onboard graphics card, then go into the box and install the new card. My question is: do I need to do something else first as in downloading the driver first / delete the old driver first.etc? Also, I have a disc that came with the new card. Use that to get the drivers or go to the website of invidia? I want this facility to go as gently as possible so expert help would be appreciated.

    I don't know how to direct you to the previous post, but it's in this section. Take a look for general information.

    Thank you

    I did some research after that discover your graphics update did not work.  I found another thread in which the motherboard is the same as the one you have and the video card is in the same family as the one you bought.

    I also see in other forums that the 720 thru 770 cards are not compatible with this motherboard.  I have not found a referenced compatible card.  A resolution has been accomplished by changing the motherboard.
