Alienware M15x does not detect the graphics card, GeForce GT 555 M

Hey guys, I ask you bear with me for the whole story because I believe that it may be relevant.

I just bought this laptop (M15x) pre owned, it came with windows installed 8.1 and a load of games and others with all the drivers work and tact. Although it has been slow and some errors like may be able to control the volume.

CPUID other programs showed my 1024 MB graphics card but I don't remember the name but I'll what nvidia says on their site and the description says...

I didn't like windows 8 and I thought, rather than make clean for a week I'll install windows 7 from scratch, I did. Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit for info

After doing this, I started to install anti virus and others and then to install the drivers, many of which I don't know, but analysis system dell raised all of the recommendations I installed, everything outside the video... none seems to fit my current card. I left it... went to nvidia which part of the site told me that he could not find compatible hardware... another part of the site classified as GT 555 M, but I had to go to my manufacturer to get the driver.

After a few discussions with local technicians and these and other forums, I tried the drivers provided dell card among other NVIDIA covering my amog others but none worked and could not find compatible hardware...

I thought it was that I installed the drivers in the wrong order, after an accident, I installed windows 7 over again and went straight on the chipset driver, then the video driver. but I fell on the same subject.

After looking over several forums, the only thing I can come up with is to turn off graphics integrated into the bios (option not available for this)

Maybe windows 7 doesn't like this graphics card? I am at a loss. given that everything worked fine on windows 8.1

also in the device manager it does not list my card on the pc there is nothing wouldn't prove that I have a graphics card to all even the windows own evaluation system set to 1 for graphics NOTE from the ADMIN: replace character removed according to the TOU >

Please help me...

The GT 555 M has been never delivered with the M15X, but with M14X R1, so the former owner must have updated the GT 240 M graphics card. This explains why the drivers from the website corresponds to your configuration.

Try this version of the driver from the NVIDIA website and let me know how it goes.

  • Portege R700 - Autocad 2011 does not recognize the graphics card

    Hello

    I have toshiba Portege R700 with 64-bit win 7 installed.
    I need the computer for use with autocad 2011.

    For some reason any auocad does not recognize the graphics card installed on the computer.
    I suspect it because very little memory is allocated for the graphics card.

    How can I change with the memory allocated for the graphics card, or perhaps, can someone show me where can I find a driver that supports autocad.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    What Portege R700-xxx you have exactly?
    As far as I know the graphics memory cannot be assigned manually.
    Everything is controlled by the graphics driver and you have no influence on this

    You can try updating the graphics card driver maybe it would help.
    The most recent driver found on the page of the European driver Toshiba
    If not, you should check the manufacturer of the graphics chip driver

    Good luck

  • ProBook 4720 s does not detect the SD card inserted

    I get no response when a SD card snaps, but 8 GB Transcend card is recognized very well of my little netbook from Toshiba.

    This is the first time I tried a card in this HP, although I got it a few months. Running Win 7 Pro 32-bit.  BIOS HP 68AZZ worm F.0F 18/02/2011.

    Well, I contacted HP support and got a helpful response within a day. Siva gave me urls for two drivers that I apparently needed (not very new drivers and I don't know why they were not there in this new machine, but any way..) and they installed, unlike the one I found just for me and giving a message "forbidden". However, once installed, both raised the box "this program cannot be installed correctly" (that I've seen before and never known what to do about it except devoted to work and hope for the best).

    With the drivers installed, the system * fact * detect the SD card so that it has shown in Device Manager and gave sound signals when it has been installed and removed. But he does not have assigned a drive letter and did not show in Windows Explorer, while it was still incommunicado or to serve as a ReadyBoost file storage.

    Thinking that it seemed that HP problems were over and it is now a Windows problem, I spent a few hours to make the seemingly useless things in Windows, all having to do with recovery of AutoRun, which is not.

    Now the SHIFT key while inserting the SD card could start AutoRun. Also, I gave the command 'net start shellhwdetection' and told me that the service was already running. And AutoFix.exe from Microsoft verified that the shell hardware detection service was on and the autostart value. But to step next, as the wizard repair didn't see that other readers, not the SD card, so I couldn't specify only * that * drive AutoPlay wasn't working on, and which ends the program.

    Support software MS said that if ReadyBoost enabled and there (and it was) and still does not work there because some services he needed had been extinguished. So I Dove to the various lists and tried to turn on anything that seemed relevant and which has not already lit.  Nothing seemed to still accept my changes. Very frustrating. But then I went back to where I had left access control panel in Explorer, and I saw that the SD card has sometime been recognized and awarded drive E. Shazam!

    Therefore, all followed the script and I could bring up the window of the tab (in the properties of the drive E) option for ReadyBoost and say, go ahead. He did, and it seems to work very well. It closes fast when I close the lid, with several major programs running, as well as 4 windows in FF with about 12-24 tablets of each, and it took only 60 seconds to wake up this morning.

    So the problem is solved with something good help at HP, but not gracefully or usefully for others, I'm afraid, because I can't say yet exactly what I did.

  • Does not DETECT THE SOUND CARD / laptop INSPIRON 1501

    I have an INSPIRON 1501 laptop and have had problems with the sound for some time. When I watch movies, the sound is there. When I Skype, I can hear, but the other party can't hear what I'm saying. Skype can't detect sound card.

    What I've done so far:

    I went to control PANEL and then MANAGER of DEVICES, OTHER DEVICES. Here, I have only one BASIC DEVICE SYSTEM option with a yellow sign. I right click on properties, then under GENERAL clicked REINSTALL DRIVER, but Windows could not find driver software.

    I also tried option SOUND, VIDEO and GAME CONTROLLERS in the DEVICE MANAGER. There is only one HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE option and it is not marked.

    Advice I have to install find the sound card.

  • can not detect the graphics card

    I have a Lenovo ideapad z710

    and just changed the internal hard drive

    now I can't seem to find my NVIDIA GEFORCE graphics card anywhere

    thing of detection of the site Web NVidia can't find either

    the driver of Lenovo, I downloaded said I don't have the material for what he

    Help, please

    Hello Sollyanna,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Let me ask you;

    1. Which operating system was installed when purchasing Lenovo Ideapad?
    2. You have the driver CD (if it was given to you in the package)?
    3. Do you think any driver available in Device Manager?
    4. Since you have changed the internal hard disk, you must also have re-installed Windows 8. What type of installation are you running?
    5. What is the full error message that you receive?
    6. You have installed all Windows updates?

    Since you have changed the internal hard disk, you must also have re-installed Windows 8. There is possibility that if you did a clean install of Windows 8, no driver is available. Let's try a few methods like below and check the status.

    Method 1: If you have the CD in the package of the manufacturer device, try to install the drivers from the CD and check.

    Method 2: I suggest you to install all Windows updates available (including optional) and check.

    Refer to the article: How to install updates to Windows in both UIs in Windows 8

    Method 3: Let Windows find the drivers automatically

    Windows can also download device software and info. This may include an app that is generated by the device manufacturer to go with your device or information such as the name of the product, the manufacturer and the model number to help you distinguish between similar devices.

    Please see: download and install the drivers

    From now to try the methods above and let us know the result as well as the answers to the questions, we will be happy to help you further.

  • XP Mode in Windows 7 does not detect the ATI Radeon graphics card

    Hi, on windows 7, xp (virtual), the system mode does not detect my graphics (ATI Radeon HD4530). This card is indispensable to run a business application (multimedia program). Can you please help me.

    Thank you, Christian.

    * original XP mode with title - __Windows 7 - (virtual) with ATI radeon HD4530__Christian.* graphics card

    Windows XP mode provides a virtual hardware platform to run XP programs.  With the exception of some USB devices, it does not provide a direct access to the hardware on the host computer.

    If you need to use your real graphics hardware in XP you will probably have to put in place a system to dual-boot and boot XP when necessary.

  • Qosmio F10: Driver Installation does not detect the wireless network card

    I wonder if anyone can help before I phone supported again. My motherboard is dead and ASP replaced and recovered my laptop qosmio F10. Since having back, my wireless card did not work.

    Windows detects a "network controller" whenever it starts and gives me the opportunity to install it. I tried to install it by navigating in the 'tools and utilities' records CD rom for folders and subfolders of "Wireless network driver" and it still does not detect the card.

    I also tried to install using the cd rom web gui and selected the 'Pilot wireless network' link and then tried to install it. It opens a dos command prompt and try to install but comes up with the error "failed installation.

    I ran the customer service and they told me to run the qosmio recovery/then recovery of product/recovery of qosmio and again...

    I still don't the card wireless not yet installed. This happened to someone else?

    I tried already shot the drivers from the web, but with no luck... If a representative of customer service with the help of good technical knowledge that would be great, or if someone has encountered the problem too and he had fixed to the give me some advice...

    Thank you very much

    Sean

    Hello

    you see the card wireless as an unknown device in Device Manager? If this is not the case, perhaps that the card was not properly installed after replacing the motherboard.

    Sorry I have no other idea.

    Original title: undetected sd eject not

    I have a HP Pavilion notebook. My system does not detect my sd card and I can't eject. Help?

    From my understanding, most laptops allow you to simply remove the SD card back.  Others have a simple spring mechanism that requires you to press the memory card slightly until you hear a "click", similar to a click on a retractable pen, which must eject the card.
