Dell Inspiron R17-cannot switch Switchable Graphics

• Issue of Dell inspiron 15r is 7520 switchable graphics...

  Hello

  If I go into Device Manager and disable the chart of intel integrated the computer will only work on radeon HD graphics card? or will this mess up my screen thanks

  The system does not at all if you disable the Intel GPU.  All video data through the GPU from Intel, by design.  The AMD GPU is just a coprocessor.

  There is no way to force the system to use the AMD GPU full-time - it is not hooked up to work this way (only the GPU from Intel is connected to the display surface - the AMD GPU has no physical connection to screen other than the GPU from Intel, which is part of the processor (and which is welded in turn constantly to the system board).)

• Cannot find switchable graphics mode in the bios.

  Hello. I have 6b04er for HP Pavilion dv6 laptop. I want to switch to fixed mode in the bios to use only discrete videocard (6750 m). I've updated the latest version of the bios for my device, but I can't yet find "switchable graphics mode" option in the bios. Help, please!
  Thank you.

  Spoody Hello, welcome to the Forums of HP. Your laptop should have an option in the BIOS to set fixed mode. Use this document to refer to the screenshot of the BIOS and let me know if your the same section
  (Skip the link title): OpenGL Applications cannot use discrete GPU

  Here's the switchable graphics overview. See the section "Determine whether your computer has switchable graphics" and let me know if this indicates you have switchable graphics: all of the switchable graphics or dual GPU

• Dell Inspiron 660 AMD Radeon HD 7800 series BSOD

  Recently, I have put my Dell Inspiron 660 with a new graphics card, an AMD Radeon HD 7800. At the same time, I improved the power source to a Corsair Builder Series CXM modular 80 PLUS Bronze certified ATX/EPS power supply 500W.

  I installed the card, update drivers and disabled the integrated graphics card. I tried to disable the onboard graphics via BIOS but there is no option to disable it in the BIOS, the AMD Radeon also is not running in the BIOS. If I uninstall the onboard graphics, the computer just re - installs on reboot.

  The card works for everyday tasks, but whenever I try to launch a game, it works fine without any problems for a few minutes and then crash with a BSOD. Then, the computer restarts and is as usual.

  The Inspiron 660 comes with the processor intel core i3-2130, 4 GB Ram and a 64-bit operating system.

  Any help at all would be much appreciated.

  Then, you need to get a more expensive food.

• How to disable the generation of intel graphics hd 4000 video on Dell Inspiron 3521?

  Hello, I recently bought the Dell laptop inspiron 3521. It comes with AMD Radeon HD M 8730. But it seems that the computer is not at all. Two video cards with drivers up to date.
  I tried with disable the generation in the video card, but when I do the pc starts using displayer Basic windows and it does not recognize one of the video cards.
  I tried with different drivers for the amd video card from dell and amd sites, but without success. I also tried switchable graphics and other options in the amd catalyst control center, but I have found no solution, either.
  There is also no option to disable or set prefferable video card in the BIOS settings.
  Is that what anyone has any other ideas how to solve this problem.

  You cannot disable the Intel GPU - this is the only one who has a link with the display panel.  The AMD GPU is simply a video coprocessor - it transmits data through the Intel GPU on its way to the display panel.

  Although there are some systems that allow you to select the video chip at the hardware level, is not one of them - the video system is fully controlled by software.  You select the AMD GPU on a per application basis.  The GPU from Intel is still the main - there is no way to change this.

  Look in your control panel - you should see the entries for these two video circuits.  If you do not, you have a driver problem.  If you do, then select the GPU to use with the Catalyst Control Center.  Note: there ARE some applications - including many games, especially older - that won't work with the AMD GPU because they are not written in support of switching graphics.  If this is the case, you may need an update or a paid upgrade to a new version of the game.

• How to update the switchable graphics drivers and Dungeon 'switching' work?

  Hi guys,.

  I recently installed the new drivers by AMD (v.13.1) on my laptop HP Pavilion dv6-3060ej (Windows 7 64-bit), which uses the Intel HD Graphics and AMD Radeon HD5650 switchable graphics.

  The fact is that I met a few rendering problems on the latest 12.6 which supported my graphics and allowed soft switching between them. Version 13.1 solved my problems of rendering, but another question - it simply does not recognize my graphics card so that it installs only some of its features and leave the Catalyst Control Center features so I can't pass my graphics cards. I even tried to leave the latest CCC, but it comes with an error message.

  To summarize, my strongest Radeon HD5650 graphics card works well but I cannot switch to the Intel's HD to save the life of the battery.

  Any thoughts? Thanks a lot for your help

  Hello IBINATOR.  I appreciate that you try to upgrade your Radeon (with drivers AMD) graphics while keeping the switchable graphics in a working state.  Is this correct?

  This is workaround only to your question and you must have the game, Steam client, installed.  The HP driver for your graphics card contains a driver for the card from AMD, the Intel card and switchable graphics framework.  You can then use the game client, steam (through a partnership with AMD), to update the part switchable graphics system AMD while keeping graphics intact.

  1. Remove your current AMD drivers using this utility and restart your laptop.
  2. Download the latest version of the drivers from HP.  Here is a link.
  3. Install the driver and reboot again.
  4. Follow the steps in this thread to use steam to update the graphics driver.
  5. Restart one last time and check if the problem is resolved.

  Let me know the result.  In addition, have a wonderful day!

• Dell inspiron 15R 5520 Graphics

  I have a dell inspiron 15r 5520 and I'm trying to find a dedicated graphics card, which is less than $ 100

  Can someone give me a list?

  Hi D_Man311,

  The Inspiron 15R/5520 is available with the option integrated graph and discreet following:

  Model	Integrated graphics card	Dedicated graphics processor
  Inspiron 5520	Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 1 GB of video memory for Sandy Bridge processors. Intel HD Graphics 4000 with 1 GB of video memory for the Ivy Bridge processors.	AMD Radeon HD 7670 M with 1 GB video memory

  This option is selected at time of purchase of the system.

  Graphics on laptops are integrated on the motherboard of a computer and where you plan to update the graphics card, you may need to replace components such as the motherboard, AC adapter / CC and heat sink. Although the AMD Radeon is considered to be a discrete on this system option, they are soldered to the system board and cannot be replaced separately.

  Answer please for more details.

• Update the Dell Inspiron 660 graphics card

  I had my Dell Inspiron 660 for a little over a year and am now looking to upgrade the graphics card. It's pretty close to it, but mine works on Windows 7:

  In my opinion, he has a power supply 300 watt, 8 GB of ram, integrated Intel HD graphics card and is the complete Office Tower (not mini). I'm tired of playing games on low heat and would like a card that can handle parameters of medium-high on the games. I could upgrade food if necessary, but would like to keep all of the budget under $ 200. I heard the AMD Radeon 7750 may work with a 300 Watt power supply, but I don't want to take the risk of harming the computer. One of these cards would be suitable for my current setup:

  http://www.Amazon.com/XFX-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-FX775...

  or

  http://www.Amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-graphics-01G-...

  Or do I have to switch to a diet that is higher (like this one), and then that the cards would be good under $150?

  http://www.Amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-series-Watt-CX500...

  You can use the 650 GTX because it requires a power supply cable 6 pin that does not have 300 watt POWER supply.  The only one that works is the 7750 HD because it does not require any additional power cling. Your best bet for the game would be to upgrade your power supply.  With the upgrade of the PSU, I will seek to obtain the R7 X 260 HERE.  This is the best you can do for less than $150.

• Cannot turn on my wifi on a dell inspiron 9400

  We bought the linksys wrt54gs and all is well with our 2 other laptops to connect to the internet. I can't activate my wifi on dell inspiron 9400, in order to connect wireless. I think that this is supposed to be fn f2, to allow, but who doesn't.

  Help, please...

  What symbol is blue on your F2 key?

  (1) a radio station antenna?

  (2) a battery?

  (3) others?

  If you do not have a radio station antenna, then look for a switch turn on your wireless adapter.  If you have a switch, it should be located on the side of the computer.  If you have a switch, turn on the light of Wi - Fi to your computer on and outside.

  In addition, have messed about in the Bios of your computer?  If so, then maybe you accidentally turned off your card wireless in the bios of your computer.

  In addition, on some computers, you can disable the card wireless in your wireless network card settings (double-click on the bottom wireless icon on the right).  Then click here to see if your wireless card is turned off.

  Also, in Device Manager, where you found "Use this device (enabled)" - set to 'disable', restart the computer and then reset "enable" and see if that helps.
