Failing video card? Or a logic board problem?

• Video card monitor / external w/D630 problem

  Hello world

  I have an old D630 of 6 months which has just started to give me some big problems.  I am a student and most of the time, I leave my laptop at home and connect to a monitor LCD 22 "to use the main screen.  But recently, after being under Windows for about 10 minutes the screen quality would begin to deteriorate until they finally (after 10 seconds) the entire computer freezes completely, and I hold the power button to turn off the laptop.  I tried to install the latest drivers from the website of Dell, but still had the same problem.  At this point, I thought that the video card is dying.  I started in safe mode to see if I could keep my laptop going long enough to copy important documents on my external hard drive and found that when the laptop runs only off the built-in screen, the degrading video problem does not occur.  Now I write of my laptop which worked for a straight hour (monitor internal only) without any problem.

  I think I might try to wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows to see if that fixed the problem but I still believe that the video card is endangered.

  On a side note, this morning when I booted up the built-in screen showed two very degraded images (the one on the other).  I could get into windows, but the resolution is at the lowest possible and the external monitor did not work.  Let him go until degradation went (not the stacked image) and when I restarted it worked fine on the external monitor and internal, until he did what I described above.

  Someone at - he had experiences like this?  I guess I have to send my laptop for the video card fixed/replaced.

  
  

• Virus or the logic board problem?

  Everyone has this screen before? Another screen that appears is a bunch of letters and numbers. Now my computer won't even turn on half the time. Sometimes just the fan will start the liquidation. Before what is going on started my computer would freeze and then turns off randomly. I called apple and I also took at the Genius Bar. They think maybe it's logic board. The Lady said that my best money wise option would be that she be sent for $280, more repairs before as I do that I wanted to see if anyone had any advice. At this point, I wonder if I should just get a new computer. I don't use the computer a lot to the point where this should be the case. Would it maybe a virus?

  

  No, it is not caused by malicious software.

  You must replace the system board, if you want to keep the Mac.

  Best.

• video card and the black screen problems.

  Hello world! My desk top compaq presario sr1411nx don't seem to support a video card, I've recently tried

  to install. I put the card in one of the three open slots connected to the motherboard, and it seems to fit very well.

  The operating system I have is a Microsoft Windows XP Edition family version 2002 service pack 3, Celeron (R) CPU 2.80 ghz, 248 MB of ram.

  The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1300PCI 256 MB. After I installed the card the following continues to happen.

  I turn the hard drive and follow on. The windows start menu back to the top.

  A message box appears telling me to close all programs. Restart the computer if the installation of the video card

  can be updated and completed.

  I then, restart the computer. After that I'm doing it just a black screen and white pointer popup. As I move the mouse

  There is no beep sounds. Browser menu and start the internet windows does not load upward.

  I then remove the video card and restart the computer and everything works fine.

  Question: What could be the cause, and I can fix it?

  Thank you

  Frogman

  Try to go into the cmos setup in the bios and see if there is any option to disable the onboard video as memory goes against zero or as allowing the pci. If not try to change the graphics card to the other pci slot

• Installation for the new video card will not work. Message "Hardware not detected" what's the problem?

  Windows XP Home Edition. Motherboard ASUS P4PE. (Old) NVIDIA geforce4 TI 4400 failed - video card replaced by Prowler Radeon 7000 64 MB agp (Mad Dog). The black screen with the old card and bought a new one. At out the old card and installed a new.  Start the computer and graphics were. With Nvidia drivers installed, display settings could be changed. Device, 'Monitor' Manager showed now default monitor instead of good Sony monitor. Remove all drivers video and rebooted.  Screen "new hardware found" appeared, but I couldn't get the new drivers loaded. I inserted the disc by the manufacturer, but the pilots has not can be detected. Has attempted to launch "Setup" on the disc, but received a material not found error message. Yellow mark points to "Other devices" and the hyphen "VGA Display adapters". No 'monitor' in Device Manager. Tried to turn off the windows firewall and Virus software. I tried windows update. Still have a problem. What's wrong?

  The old drivers must remove the first test pilot seeper guru3d.

  The nvidia Setup program should find the material but otherwise download the latest version of the software from their Web site.  They must be the pilot, right down to the revision number, not only the model number.

• Want to 700-074 video card recommendation

  I start to play a MMO and he says my driver is low level. She still plays. There is no newer driver on the HP website and I can't load new driver Intel that HP has installed a driver(for stability) custom

  A more recent MMO starts in April with graphics much higher. I was told that the video card which is on board the system will probably confine myself to the middle level graphics on this game. So I am looking to update my video card. I understand there are limits on what can be installed due to having only a 460W PSU.

  Can anyone recommend a new video card?

  My limit is $300

  Thank you

  Hi Bob,

  The EVGA NVIDIA 660would be an excellent choice for your PC.

  HP recovery discs: I have them, but cannot use them because the DVD laser does not (CD only)

  Hello, I'm recovering from the corruption of BIOS, hoping that it is not a failed mobo.

  I downloaded the latest BIOS update for my system, but I can't this file to install on an external USB key using HP instructions to restore the BIOS.

  To 1.11 step, I don't get the "HP system BIOS Update Utility" screen. Instead, I get this:

  

  My questions:

  1. is there an easy way to get this .exe on a USB? (I tried 3 computers and 3 cards USB, WTH then?)

  2. If not, can I just unzip and create a bootable USB in another program by copy/pasting the BIOS file?

  3. is there anything else I should try before flashing the BIOS?

  Thanks in advance for your help. ^^

  UPDATE: the "BIOS error" was in fact the video card that failed due to repeated overheating. The repair shop, replace the video card and repaired the overheating problem (I don't ask how), and my computer is like new.

  For those who have a similar with their computer, my error "BIOS" problem (as it is coded by flashing lights of my computer) turns out to be a video card has failed.

  The repair shop, said that what happens when computers overheat frequently, which mine did. Thus, they have changed the video card and solved the overheating problem, and my computer is in working condition.

• Code 39 - video card driver. already tried to reinstall the drivers several times.

  Suddenly, I lived this issue one day after having had a normal life with a new video card.  It was quite well until you restart the next day, where he then reports in Manager device which:

  Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  I am completely puzzled, as I have:

  -If she had problems with drivers-free work provided by the CD the initial day of the installation,
  -A tried several installations of:
  (a) CD drivers provided by.
  (b) latest driver from nVidia.
  (c) later twist driver Xtreme-G.
  (d) to allow Windows Update to install the drivers.
  -Also attempted to return to the old video card and using [compatible] drivers for it, but it returned code 39; This video card, I had no such problems with in the past.

  The first noticeable symptom has been toggled off Aero and the resolution to 640.  I am unable to run several games/etc. as the video card is automatically disabled "because he has a problem.  My graphics card is an ASUS 240 512 DDR5 ENGT, and the old one is eVGA 9400 GT; my OS is Windows 7 x 64.   The first time using the map with this computer, it was compared with the time 3D games Vantage / real and proved to be stable and functional order.

  I can't do a restore with the drivers, or have no system restore points.  Everything is fine and I can still watch videos (assuming that the CPU is handling); I can also run games like Starcraft, which I suppose doesn't require DirectX or anything that requires a dedicated card.

  I tried the sweeper driver as well as the General uninstaller, and he still refuses to acknowledge the drivers - this was done after a full withdrawal of all components of nVidia ("NVIDIA Drivers", PhysX and NVIDIA Control Panel); However, I saw again the nVidia control panel in the Panel of the menu start (no uninstall programs and features). my steps were:

  (1) Uninstall using programs uninstall,
  (2) secure using mode driver sweeper,
  3) reset, once again in SafeMode to aid driver sweeper,
  (4) restart, install the drivers.

  Of this, I was successfully able to disable the generic automatic installation of drivers window; later, I was able to install the video drivers.  However it still does not.  The Control Panel also continues to say, "Now you do not use a screen attached to a NVIDIA GPU", and Device Manager reports code 39.

  I'm running out of ideas, so I'm looking for outside help for this problem - I appreciate any information you may be able to provide.

  Check the programs and features (and memory), I can say that I have nothing else that the drivers installed for the new video card.

  I reinstalled the drivers for the 9400GT when I was testing to see if the replaced card would fail, and he gave the code 39.

  Thanks for your comments.

  EDIT: The problem seems to be fixed after a reinstall of Windows.  I give my thanks to both of you for the effort.

• Bad video card - last ditch effort

  Hello

  I'm 99% sure this is my video card that is causing this problem.

  Started a few days ago the screen filled with red pixels randomly, it could get worse over the next few minutes, and then the computer was completely insensitive - had stopped the clock and the mouse does not work yet.  I was able to ssh from my laptop, but cannot open applications and reboot via ssh wouldn't work, had to hard - reboot.  After having let it sit for awhile, it seemed better, I was hoping it was a stroke of luck.  Just right tonight (a few days since the accident of 1), he began acting again... bad.  I tried to run the Apple Hardware Test, he could not even done that - she's blocked (at the forefront in the screenshot), the mouse still worked, but even after half an hour, neither the time nor progress bar update.

  I have a NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, I'm not sure that is because apparently they only give information on the card itself.  I know that it was very expensive.  Tomorrow I'll try cleaning all the contacts on the map and the location of the motherboard.  Beyond that, all I can think to do is to buy a new video card.  Is it possible to fix a video card, or is it simply not feasible?  I can also try to put it in another location, to see if that solves (which would indicate that the problem is on the motherboard, rather than the map, but I doubt that will solve it).

  I removed the video card all together, the system is not is more locked up (so far), I am able to use via my MacBook screen sharing, and everything seems good function... which pretty much confirms for me, it's the video card (or slot) that's the problem.

  Does anyone have suggestions until I leave shell $500 on a new video card?  This expenditure could not have come at a worse time...

  I don't think I need anything too serious for a video card, I use Final Cut Pro.  I installed also just Apple Motion (literally, one day before all this crap started to happen, it seems strange that it could be related, but the time is quite a coincidence), and I join with two dual-link DVI ports.  I'd be curious to know if anyone has recommendations what video card to buy.

  Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts.

  It is also an answer yes because PCI Express 3.0 is a compatible specification down.

• Update video card: 630i Desktop - need advice

  I have a Dell XPS 630i Desktop 5 1/2 year, which usually is going very well, with enough power for most of the cases.  Recently implemented a 125 GB SSD as drive operating system.

  Anyway, in these last days, we got some random video artifacts appears sporadically on one or two of my two monitors Viewsonic (DVI for both of the Nvidia 9800GT 512 MB video card).  A small section of the screen will have the weird characters, sometimes a bunch of screen Flash, etc.  And a few times that there was a BSOD crash, with the video driver (nvlddmkm.sys) be responsible.

  I tell myself that there must be a bad video card or driver.  I have updated to the pilot the most recent on the Dell site (R213185, 181.30, Vista 64, A04) and well.  But I have this vague feeling that it is a hardware problem.  If it was a driver problem, why now after all these years, he suddenly would be problems, no recent changes to the system, etc..

  I used the tools of diagnosis from Dell, which has tested the performance of the video card, memory, etc, and no errors were detected, which is encouraging.

  I post here, to seek advice, in which case the video card end up being the problem and need to be replaced.

  1. If I decide to replace it, what are some good recommendations for a new map of video for this system (Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz, 6 GB of RAM).  I don't want exaggerated and pay for potential performance of video card I would not be obtained with the old motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

  2. the current system is sufficient for most cases, with the main shortcoming being the slow performance when you are working on my of Canon DSLR Raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, watch a HD video from camcorders or other sources, etc.  In this regard, replace the video card would provide a substantial improvement in this type of performance?

  3. I'd rather than replace the entire office by something more recent?

  All thought, popular point of view.

  Don

  Video card drivers can become corrupt and simply uninstall them and their update with a new driver may solve the problem.  It is more likely a hardware problem, a driver problem, even if the 9800 GT is an old map.  If he wasn't pushed hard with the game over the years, then it can last a long time. XPS 630i is a good system and with the Q6600 it is still worthy and can perform very well.  If you were to replace the video card, I'd just get something simple like the GTX 650 HERE, which would exceed the performance of the 9800 GT and not market much.

• My Alien Autopsy comprehensive system Tests show a ' Failed WVC07-LB8 ' video card failure, but I can't find any mention of this code error or failure anywhere

  My Alien Autopsy comprehensive system Tests show a ' Failed WVC07-LB8 ' video card failure, but I can't find any reference to this error code or failure anywhere, either in the "help", on Microsoft Support sites, or on the community boards.

  I have updated all drivers for this graphics card (AMD Radeon HD series 7900) and all the surrounding drivers with the AMD software.

  I can't find any information, so I don't know if I should get a new video card (which seems to work very well) or if I should just ignore it.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Original title: Error Code WVC07-LB8

  Hello

  As you mentioned that you have already updated the AMD graphics card drivers, could you let us know if you see any exclaimation or any error in the device under graphics card Manager?

  Are you facing any problem with your graphics card, video, or your screen resolution?

  As Alien Autopsy Global System Tests showed you the error, I suggest you to get tap dell JDM for more support asiistance if you have any problem with Yon graphics/video card or screen resolution.

  For your information: once you uninstall your graphics card drivers, windows has its own built-in drivers that will automatically charge the generic drivers. If in case it does not load you can search the hardware changes, this will probably load the generic drivers.

• Problem upgrading the h8-1409 HP Envy video card problem

  Hello.

  I just bought this machine and it has a good processor and ram good, but it comes with a card missing video (HD7570).  I want to upgrade the video card at one of the best maps I have of my old machines (Gigabyte GTX 660 ti and an Evga GTS 250).  When I install one of these cards but, I get no video output.  I can hear the initialization of the system and the hard drive works, so everything seems fine here.

  This machine comes with a 460W power supply, which should be enough to run one of these cards, but no go.  In order to exclude food, I tried on a secondary market, OCZ 600W PSU, but got the same result.  Two cards work in my old machine, so I know that the cards are good.

  The specifications of the main Board are here:

  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c03132942

  As far as I know, it should work.  Is there something I'm missing?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Only use one video card in your PC and make sure that it is installed in the PCI-E x 16 slot.

  Boot in the bios (ESC and F10) and go to security topics. Try each of the topics and search a secure Boot Configuration.  If it exists, then see if Secure Boot is disabled.  A poster said that secure boot disabling enabled the installed video card. I have not tried this on a HP active UEFI motherboard but I know that it isn't a problem with another mother UEFI card that I use.  Your mileage may vary.
