Graphics ThinkPad Edge e520 problem

So I got my new computer laptop and for some reason any graphics card is not working properly. Whenever I try to play starcraft2 on support (which even the chp to intel is able to do), it looks like this when you use the radeon:

http://img217.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2011050510363.jpg/

I emailed AMD about this and they told me its probably a problem of drivers, but their CCC does not support switchable graphics books and I should ask for drivers lenovo. But I can't find anything but the drivers of the chip intel. I don't have a phone available right now and I can't seem to find a support email address and it gets pretty frustrating and I wonder why they use this switchable graphic thing, if they can't even operate

I tried to turn the chip intel offshore but used CCC recognize the same when I do this, also for some reason any disable one of radeon graphics cards seems to be another one works does not more properly be :/

I found this on the starcraft Board where a guy uses the same graphics card / intel / pilot and has the same question:

Im a underwelmed bit by the lack of support by email, I hope someone can help me here

Thank you very much

  • ThinkPad Edge E520 Graphics Upgrade

    My Lenovo comes with "Intel(r) HD Graphics Family."

    The side of the system of the "Windows experience index" gives me a "2.0" on the component "graphics of games."

    You cannot upgrade the graphics card without changing the map of mother together.

    Intel HD3000 graphics card should be much better than this, however.

  • ThinkPad Edge E530 problem with GT 630 M

    I have a problem with my GT 630M graphics card.

    When I use it to play games the base of GPU frequency goes no higher than 270 Mhz while it is 672 Mhz at full speed.

    I tried different games like Borderlands and Empire Total War and no change.

    I've seen it work to 672 Mhz for a few seconds only after a reboot, but then he went down again.

    Also tried with the latest drivers Nvidia and the last package of drivers of Lenovo and no change.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

  • ThinkPad Edge not charging WITHOUT REASON APPARENTE

    Hello! I have a ThinkPad Edge 15. He had a problem loading the day I bought it. The people I bought it returned to IBM/Lenovo that apparently tight area where the charge lead goes to the PC? (I'm obviously not PC literate, sorry!)

    That has NOT fixed the problem, so when I got my laptop back, I called LEnovo, they sent me a new battery (even though I told them the "Power Manager", said the battery was in good condition) which did nothing. Then they sent me a new charge lead, once again - nada. They sent me a box to return the laptop to them. As I find how to put the laptop in the box, I looked more @ my PC and this is; shone the light that tells you if he is in charge! I never returned - it was last August.

    Last night. I looked @ the loading icon; 15%, no charging current!" Oops! Oh dear, not again! I went to the power manager, everything is fine. All my connections, same verified. Darn it all. I have a business. that is 90% SEARCH! MY PC DIED on me. I called Lenovo, they said - send it us.

    I still had the box since last summer, then he is out. I left the laptop plugged in my thoughts only, something might happen like last summer! HA! This morning I find how to pack, I watch over @ cell phone & guess WHAT! He has been in charge, the light was on. I lit and has right on this Forum to ask questions of you wise and knowledgeable people!

    First: I did what I thought, it was a decent amount of research before buying this laptop Lenovo. (I thought I was buying a ThinkPad Edge E520 - but that's another story) I really thought that "Lenovo" products have a good reputation. Yet, when on this Forum, I read a lot of posts on the problems of charging with the Edge series. What is everything? I buy another computer soon, but is reluctant to even look @ a Lenovo. If I had a case opened last night, I would have been freaked out! This is not acceptable! Lenovo has a good rep, or not?

    Second: What happens after my warranty expires in five months and it is ALWAYS the case? Is this PC a lemon? I've had a few laptops, and I have NEVER had anything that gave me as much hassle as this! My friend as a 15 years old song VAIO, which must NEVER, not once seen any problems! It has Windows Vista, same! 15 YEARS, not a single bump on the road! I got this SEVEN month, and if you add up, it's more than once a month! ARRGGGHHHHH!

    Third: If someone can make a good argument for staying with Lenovo; I need to look @ your desktop all-in-one or small. I used to say 'battery' has been my need to #1 to a computer, but now I realize that the 'reliability' is my requirement #1!  Maybe, a PC will be fast, one will be reliable? Sounds like a plan to me!

    I apologize for the length, and for my "evacuation." I hope that I didn't say anything, I should not have? TYVM for me to be on this Forum. You guys ROCK!

    Hi eefacm,

    So whenever you're ready to put the computer in the box, it starts to load, it seems that it is really a physical connection problem.

    It looks as if there is a loose wire, something may have slipped out of place and could be postponed.

    I recommend that you go ahead and send in your unit, regardless of whether it begins to load before you place it in the box.

    There is none of course say until you send it and let the repair depot look at him.

  • Problem of CPU ThinkPad Edge 14

    Hey

    So I had my Thinkpad Edge 14 since the end of last summer.  I keep putting it off, but now it has got to the point where I have enough of him.  Here's my problem:

    I connect my Thinkpad Edge 14 in the charger, which is obviously plugged into an outlet.  Usually, it is while the system is still working, but recently I tried to l ' first.  Now, about 1-2 minutes after I plug the laptop, the processor begins to FREAK OUT.  I put Rainmeter in place so I can keep track of my RAM/CPU/network and others.  So my little graphic of my CPU starts to spike and it goes from 0 %-> 26 %-> 0 %-> 78 %-> 100 %-> 0% and so on and so forth.  This does not happen over time, what is happening at all times.  The CPU just guard jump and fall.  It's killing my performance.  Everything becomes nervous and slow.  Opening a folder or my browser (which should take 2 seconds, if that) now takes about a minute.  Before, I could just turn off my phone and turn it back on, no problem.  Now, I disable and turn it 3 - 4 times and it is always jumping so I just let it stay there until the machine is loaded.  I got used to load just from one day to the next just so I don't have to deal with in the morning.  I don't have any idea what the problem is or how to stop it.  This has also nothing to do with going to Task Manager and ending a few process.  I tried and it does nothing.

    I hope someone can help me with this problem because I have not seen anywhere.  I looked through the Lenovo Web site and got nothing.


  • E520 - problem with 64-bit Intel HD Graphics Driver

    Hi guys again.

    I would like to apply for assistance. I have problems with the driver Intel HD graphics 64-bit downloaded from http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/8hd613ww.exe (for my Edge e520 1143-37 G). I have Windows 7 64 bit Czech.

    When I try to install this driver, he continues to say "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the driver". I already have these:

    1.) when I set "Integrated graphics" display in the BIOS settings, then I can install this driver, but I can't install ATI driver.

    2.) when I put "Switchable graphics" display of the BIOS, then I can install ATi driver, but I can't install the Intel HD driver by telling this thing on the minimum requirements.

    I have the latest drivers for chipset, SATA AHCI, etc. Any help would be appretiated. Thx a lot.

  • Problem installing Windows 7 on Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817

    Hello

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 665D817 without an operating system and be able to install Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (msdnaa version). I actually had the Thinkpad even before and managed to install Windows 7 withouth any problems.

    After starting from the USB stick during installation without hard drive is located. To this end, I insert a second usb key with drivers for AMD AHCI Controller Device Driver for Windows 7 and select the directory of win7 64 bit. A driver to install is offered, but after installing it, it seems as if nothing happened. No disk is detected, and I can't continue the installation.

    thx for the help

    (by the way, the proposed here spell check does not recognize "Lenovo" - * lol *)

    I saw this happen occasionally during installation via the USB port. In my experience, it is when a USB 3.0 or eSATA/USB combo port is present. It does not occur if start you it from a Windows existing, nor happens during the installation of optical media.

    There is something that includes ImageX that you can use to install Windows, but that gets a little complicated.

    I have 3 thinkpads that after a reload of fees cannot connect to wireless networks. I went through and installed different drivers wireless on lenovo Web site.

  • Battery Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13 (0217) problem

    Hello guys,.

    Because I couldn't find a solution for my problem, I decided to write here, hoping that someone (by a team from Lenovo or users) have the same problem and therefore can help me.

    I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 model (version 0217). (I bought from a friend, because he didn't deliver more when I decided to buy it.)

    I have problems with my battery. The design of this capacity is 62.12 Wh, I used it wisely, so it was not always charged to 100%. I always unload down around 5-7% and then plug the power adapter. (See image).

    My first problem is that during the last 3 months, the capacity is down to 45,88 Wh and I can't really understand why. This can be a generic problem with the battery?

    My second problem is - for which I found another topic here, but it did not help me - that when I charge the battery, stops at 99% of load, showing "3 minutes is remaining" and if I disconnect and reconnect the adapter, it stops like 99% saying have completely loaded. In the battery maintenance, I changed the settings to "always fully charge' Custom, but still, it won't charge the battery fully.

    My third problem is that I have updated the BIOS of my laptop a few days ago, and when I try to search for an update of the firmware battery or when I do a battery meter reset, the system shuts down suddenly without any warning or something else.

    I would be really grateful if someone could help me with this, I like really my laptop but it really bothers me...

    Thanks in advance.

    (1) so that you must have used it a bit and then, under the charge cycle is at 234.

    (2) don't know, but sometimes my battery the fact.

    (3) download HWinfo32 and check your system temp, and what temperature your CPU is.

    I have Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15 and I have a little problem with that.

    ThinkPad edge 15 has all sorts of buttons on the keyboard. As the volume, mute speaker buttons button etc.

    The problem is that there is a button to turn off/turn on Webcam it (marked with yellow box in the picture), but its no longer works. Whenever I push, nothing happens (instead, it shows me with this ring mouse cursor). It should show me that the camera is in power. For example, it shows me my microphone turned off.      Like this:

  • Blue screen when you try to install Windows XP on Intel ThinkPad Edge 520

    Hello

    I have a ThinkPad Edge 520 type 1143-B5G with a clean disk and I need to install Windows XP on it, for reasons of inheritance. I read on the pilot of the technology Intel Rapid store being necessary, but this seems not to apply to the 520, only to 220 and 420. The recommended settings are not available on the 520 (nor is the driver itself), and the driver is listed by n/a for the 520 in the list of drivers of Lenovo. But, I always get a BSOD error just as Windows is starting from the installation DVD, after the DVD instructed all pilots, he can think about.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Would BTW - be possible to install XP in a separate partition, main alongside Windows 7, on a drive that already has Windows 7 on it? Or a clean disk is needed for this?

    Kind regards

    / EvA

    Hello and welcome,

    What settings are you looking for?  It seems that there is a problem with the mode of operation of HD.  The E520 BIOS has an option to change the SATA compatibility instead of AHCI mode?  You will not be able to install a version of "Vanilla" of XP without adding the correct AHCI driver or compatibility mode.

    What version of BIOS do you have?  I see this rather cryptic reference in the BIOS 1.20:

    "[Fixes problem] problem reading/writing data to the SATA compatibility mode."

    It is possible to dual-boot XP and 7, but the best way to do is to install XP first and then let the 7 Installer put in place the configuration dual-boot.  You would still have the problem of compatibility (IDE) vs AHCI mode.

    Ah, lookinng a little further, there is a driver AHCI for XP in Lenovo driver matrix.  The readme file includes instructions on installation.
