Driver Win 7 on GeForce 8400 video bad performance

Hi all

I have a slimline s3480a who owns the installed graphic card Geforce 8400 video.  I was running Windows vista 32 bit before and graphic colors were as good as you could get with this card.  But after a clean install of windows 7 32 bits, color is wack, even if the NVIDIA Control Panel is set to 32 bit color, the appearance of colors as if they were in 16 bits.

I noticed this after the last Microsoft Windows Update for the graphics card NVIDIA has been installed, for example orange looks like a faded red and the yellow folder in Windows Explorer images look more like a bright gold.  The colors are all foires.

I have install the latest drivers from nvidia for the 8400 graphics card and the same problem occurs with drivers nvidia as well... I think I'll go back to vista

Laptop HP ENVY 17-j005tx, HP ENVY 27 - k001a, HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G2020T, HP MediaSmart EX495 Server tilt, HP MediaVault 2020, HP ENVY 120 AiO Printer

I ended up uninstalling the nvidia driver and installed the driver Vista HP x 86 and works fine now.

However I had to disable the microsoft windows update nvidia driver, who saw things upward. so now I have to manually updates windows and turn off the update of the microsoft nvidia driver...

  • Update Windows for Vista - NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS driver errors

    Update Vista Home Basic 6002:SP2.  Secunia Personal Software Inspector and MS Security Essentials confirm the system software is updated.

    Windows Update optional update for NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS on 4/5 and 4/11.  Updates have been declared as 'Successful' but has caused problems of compatibility with the resolution.  (http://winqual.microsoft.com/support/?driverid=20418057) More details below.

    HW - Dell 530 with GeForce 8400 GS with BIOS 62.98.71.0.5 - 512 MB of memory dedicated - 767 MB shared memory.

    CRT is detected as driver MS running generic PnP 6.0.6001.18000.  The display is an AMW CM1722PF 17 "CRT with a preferred resolution of the 1024x768x70Hz.  (IIRC, MS drivers for Intel 8031 correctly detected VGA display modes, rather than generic report.)

    On both NVIDIA driver update attempts, Windows Update reports the success and I rebooted (despite the lack of obligation to restart).  Display was OK on the screen connection, but limited to 640 x 480 on desktop after login.  Edges of the Office had fallen.

    In addition, Panel-> NVIDIA Control Panel translates "the NVIDIA Display Panel Extension cannot be created... Possible reasons include the incorrect version.  Reinstall display drivers can fix this problem. »

    After the failure of 4/5, I uninstalled Windows Update display drivers and reinstalled on reboot.  Got the NVIDIA Display Panel and appropriate video modes.  Everything was going well until we repeated this Windows Update NVIDIA driver update fiasco 4/11.

    Have not repeated the manual Reinstall driver this time, I'm puzzled why Windows Update can't get this right.    This is a very common piece of hardware and you would think that there is regression tests for driver updates.

    This makes me wary of Windows Update.  Suggestions?

    Hello

    I posted an incorrect link, changed now.

    The TechNet post link also has the same information.

    Or here - manually on a single computer

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730606 (WS.10) .aspx

    Those who work in many cases, I've tried. If you have a current Windows

    Updates and HIDE. There should be no other available.

    I hope this helps.

    I have recently upgraded to win 7 64 bit and currently have a GJ120AA - NVidia GeForce 8400 GS 256 MB DH PCIe x 1 card that I bought at HP, but I am not able to find a driver for it for XP or Windows 7.  Anyone know where I could get the driver for this product?  I have tried searching the Internet but couldn't find anything.  Here are the two links that I could find on the HP site, but they offer no support driver.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS

    My GeForce 8400 GS fried itself last week. I replaced it with an EVGA GeForce 8400 GS (same model I had).  There was a cable wire, attached to the video card and the motherboard. There is no place on the new GS EVGA 8400, with 512 MB instead of 256 MB RAM to attach the cable. It works perfectly, but my audio has got very weak.  I was running the volume to 50%, but now 100%, is not very strong.

    That's the good news. The bad news: it is a Pavilion d4990y CTO I bought in 2007 (Yes, it is quite old, but it still works fine). I am running Windows 8.1 without any problem. It features a Core2 Quad processor, 800 MB of internal storage implemented in RAID 0 (400 MB per disc, 3 external drives from WD (2 1 1 TB and 2 TB.)  There even a 3.5 "floppy drive (I disabled it in the BIOS.) I would not replace... I bought when I was still working to close $2000. Today my budget would be less than $500.

    Any ideas on the sound. ? I can live with it, but want my sound back. Any help would be appreciated

    I think the speakers are the best solution

  • EVGA Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS issues: [FIXED] screen and the sound does not [FIXED] virgins

    I have a HP Compaq dc5750 I just got an EVGA Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS, and I'm having a problem with it. I disassembled the computer cover and installed, replace the cover, turned on the computer and the monitor not power not on. So I decided that I had to disable the integrated graphics card (ATI Radeon Xpress 1150), then I added the card even once. Still happens... Monitor powers on without the new graphics card. My monitor is 8 years old and lacks a DVI port. I have to connect the monitor to the graphics card to make it work? I want just this card to work.

    UPDATE: white screen problem is fixed, but the sound does not (no audio installed device) even if the audio driver is installed

    Hello

    This kind of question is mainly caused by the sound card driver is not not compatible.  Contact the hardware manufacturer directly to confirm the driver is compatible or not.

    Test the issue with another pair of speakers or headphones, or you can plug the device of reading to another port to see the result.

    In the meantime, you can also see if the playback device is disabled. To do this, please check the following steps:

    1 Please, click Start-> Control Panel-> Sound.

    2. on the playback tab, right-click on the empty square and then click on "show disabled devices".

    3. check if your playback device is disabled. If so, right-click on it and click Activate.

    1. Please click Start, type services.msc and press ENTER.

    2. double-click on Windows Audio.

    3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Then please click on "Stop" under "Status of Service" to stop the service.

    4. click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

    Reinstall the audio device

    1. click on start, type Device Manager, click on Device Manager to open it.

    2. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".

    3. right click on your audio device, and then click on uninstall.

    4. check "delete the driver for this device".

    5. click on OK.

    6. after that, restart the computer, the device and the driver must be reinstalled automatically.

    Please check if the problem can be solved now.

    If the problem persists, please install the latest driver of sound card on the manufacturer.

    I found the problem... once again: I had to go to the BIOS and enable Audio integrated. My audio integrated uses Realtek High Definition Audio instead of Nvidia High Definition Audio.

    I want to upgrade the video card (GeForce 8400 GS) on my HP Media Center (m8307c) = PC please let me know what card I can use without changing the power supply (unless I really have to) FYI - I had to replace the card 3 X already while he was under warranty, but the warranty went out just if I want to get a better card now

    Your PC has a 300 Watt power supply.  Open your PC and check the + 12 volt amperage.

    TheEVGA NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB DDR5only requires a 300 Watt power supply.  He needs a PSU with 18 amps on the bus + 12 volts.

    I have the video card above installed in the mobo even as your PC mobo.

    Anything faster than 240 it will change the power supply.

    Video does not.   NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS - replace or upgrade?  I want to edit the video with the Prime Minister of adobe.  What is recommended?  Not too expensive.

    Hello:

    Yes, it would be a better card, because it has a 128-bit memory interface.

    The specifications also include a 300W P/S, so this card should also work if your P/S is 300W.

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-gt-630/specifications

    I'd go for this one, as the recommendations of P/S for both cards are the same.

    Hello

    I have a form factor computer to desktop OptiPlex 755 with 3.0 ghz dual core processor, 1 gig ram and 280w of power. I recently bought a new video card because the integrated Intel video card could not support a new game I bought. The card is a PNY Verto with a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS chipset. I installed it in the PCI express card

    slot and turned on the computer while the monitor is connected to the new card and I had no video. I had to return the vedo on the on board to get to the CMOS memory (I think that's what it's called). I chose the onboard/card instead of the automatic selection option in the video section of the configuration of the system, but the system still does not recognize the new card. He used to see the same place on windows. I know that this new card says it requires a 300w power supply, but I heard that dell underestimates their power and is really much more that they are listed. Why my computer does not recognize the card?
