HP G62 Notebook PC: Completely disable the secondary graphics card

Hello

I have a HP G62 Notebook PC that I bought a couple of years back. The problem I have is that the graphics card of (the age AMD) to the secondary address has been damaged by hardware components (probably due to multiple disconnections of power and unexpected stops). Everything else works fine. This problem is causing Windows to keep crashing through the blue screen, or not to display a picture at all after the Windows logo while booting. I managed to install Ubuntu on it and the operating system detected the damaged graphics card and worked around it (aka he turned off the power to the graphics card damaged and worked only using the Intel graphics card). My question is, is it possible to turn off the graphics card AMD to turn completely (from the BIOS maybe) so that I can re-install Windows and work on it using only the graphics card Intel?

Please help, I'll provide more information if necessary.

Please identify your laptop with its full product name or product number. You gave only a partial identification so far. I need I can take a look at the BIOS Simulator to see if it was possible there.

Never mind providing the number or name of producty. I worked around it.

I just took a look at the BIOS Simulator and found that there is no option to turn off the graphics card it. You may be able to work around it by removing the card.

You can also replace the card with a card of the same work to find the switchable graphics feature. You should be able to find one to an online vendor at a reasonable price. If you don't feel able to do it yourself, then you can have the replacement carried out by a store.

  • Disable the integrated graphics card?

    Hello

    I have a Dell XPS 15 L502X. So I recently installed a game called Wolfenstein: The New Order. And everytime I start the game I get an error known on the web as "wglCreateContextAttribsARB failed".

    I know that the cause of the error is that the game keeps identifying my integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000) as the main graphics card so that I have a dedicated onboard graphics (Nvidia GeForce GT 540 M, 2 GB dedicated memory).

    The problem is that my integrated card only supports OpenGL 3.1 and below, although my GPU supports up to OpenGL 4.0. I know for a fact that this GPU is able to run the game and YES I already chose my GPU as the primary graphics card under manage 3D, the global settings settings AND parameters of the program specific AND even tried setting the PhysX Configuration as the GPU itself at unsuccessfully.

    I also tried to disable my Intel HD 3000 by Device Manager (couldn't turn it off via bios), but whenever I do so that turns off the display of my laptop. However, I have a TV that my laptop is connected via HDMI. If my laptop screen is transferred to my TV and I can not change/turn my laptop displays ONE unless I had to re - activate the integrated graphics card. Strange in my opinion!

    On the other side, I ran the game without the integrated graphics card (when), and the game runs very well! CLEARLY the GPU (GT 540 M) is able to run this game, although the game is not identify him. Instead only identify the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 card or identifies the onboard graphics as the main reason any!

    Need help please, I want to play the game on my laptop screen not on my TV... Also on a side question, is it possible to completely disable my integrated graphics (Intlel HD 3000) without losing my screen? If so, how?

    Thank you for your time.

    EDIT: I discovered that a similar problem, I used to have with another game (watch dog) on the demanding game run my video card to support DirectX 11 for the game (so it never ran), now works correctly when I turn off my integrated graphics card and use my TV as my main screen! EVEN IF my GT 540 M is to satisfy the minimum requirements for the game!

    You can switch between graphics cards - Intel low performance for graphic intensive application of navigation/less graphically and using nVidia graphics high-performance hungry applications in graphics resources like games.

    You can take a look on the link shows to switch between the graphics card Intel and discrete graphics (nVidia, in your case):

    I intend to install a new NVIDIA PCI-E x 16 video card, but my HP Pavilion a6400f comes with an Intel integrated graphics. I know that you need to disable the onboard graphics, but how? I checked the BIOS but couldn't find an option to turn it off. Any help?

    Message edited by soadfreak2005 on 01/16/2009 11:24

    You go to control panel, system maintenance, and then Device Manager. Scroll down and look for graphics cards, click the plus tab, click on the model of integrated graphics card you have. Then right click and a menu appears, select turn off and that's all. Then follow the instructions on your new graphics card. Good luck...

  • Zbook Studio G3 HP: How to disable the integrated graphics card Intel and use the dedicated Nvidea graphics all the time?

    Dear all,

    I have a HP zbook studio G3 laptop. I want to go to the Nvidia graphics card permanently.  I tried to disable graphics integrated in the Device Manager, uninstall the driver and allowing even the nvidea card chart of all profiles in the parameter 3D tap in the Nvidia configuration software. Non of them seems to work as the integrated graph is always in action and simple games could not be executed. I always keep in the option to high-performance mode, and the laptop is still connected. Should I manipulate the bios setup?

    Thanks in advance,

    I have the version non-studio of Zbook 15 G3 which has removable video card. I added the video card after purchase and found that it worked just right if I went into the BIOS and set it to use only the nVidia card. However, because yours is graphic switchable I don't know that you have this option. Have you looked at even the BIOS? Press ESC you turn on, then F10

    How to disable BIOS (or uefi or otherwise), the graphics card intel?

    It is not possible to disable the GPU (no matter if its gpu internal or external) in the BIOS.
    This option is not supported by the BIOS.
    You can disable the internal GPU in Device Manager, or you can configure the settings to use only the nVidia GPU.
    This can be done in the nVIdia Control Panel.

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=c03106002

    The integrated graphics went broken today. Research on the spec Web site I noticed that the Intel's integrated graphics. I won't buy another video card, if there is a graphics processor integrated into the processor.

    Indeed, there are two additional DVI ports; However, they are sealed with a sign "DO NOT REMOVE", and each port is sealed with two screws with a strange format (star with six faces?).

    Why these DVI ports are sealed? Why with this format live strange? I hope that's not for licensing reasons, and that I'm still able to use them as DVI ports...

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I don't think it is sealed for any other reason than from your PC with a video of the add-on card, they would not people plugging in these ports DVI cables and by calling HP support complaining that the video does not work (because an add on card disables the integrated graphics card).

    Remove your discrete PCIe x 16 graphics card, so the built-in graphics card is enabled, put your hand on the good size torx screwdriver and remove the cover, so you can use the integrated graphics card adapter.

  • DWM. Tips of memory EXE, resulting in aero being disabled, when you use a window on a driving instructor by a secondary graphics card

    (I was going to the origin of this post in response to this topic, but it seems to be dead and, possibly, a different question.)  ( This thread is probably the same problem and has some information, but is old and sidetracked.)

    I used to run two s AMD Radeon 6970 in CrossfireX, 3 driving instructors from the main videocard, without any problem.  I decided to take two cards off CrossfireX and run them independently, with two monitors driven by the second video card.  Now, whenever a window on a monitor driven by the second video card does a lot of update - like scrolling a page of MS Answers in IE or FireFox - I see not the use of the memory of dwm.exe rocket up to approximately 2 GB (it takes about 3 seconds) before Windows turns off Aero and returns to the Windows 7 Basic color palette.  This does not repro on the instructor by the first video card (memory dwm.exe use remains stable, Aero is not disabled).  I've been hunting the internet for everything and time now looking for an answer, nothing has worked, but I found a lot of posts on the same problem.

    Other information that might be useful, based on what I saw:

    • All my drivers are up to date
    • All BIOS are up-to-date
    • DWM.exe is the only process that stings
    • I can re-enable Aero by him switch back to an Aero theme, and the problem with reproducing again
    • Scrolling or watch that video in IE or FireFox YouTube reproduces the problem constantly, but I can repro by continually moving a FireFox window, so it seems linked purely how drawing is done, the speed and how permanently.  I have same repro when scrolling in this text of entry for this message box.
    • If I stop the scroll/movement/whatever before DWM. EXE hits 2 GB, the drops of memory use down to normal (around 90 MB).
    • I Live Mesh, but I killed it and the repros still problem.  I also tried to disable the Windows Live display driver, but it did not help.
    • I tried to delete the DirectX under HKLM\Software\Microsoft key, which did not help.
    • Nothing is written to the system event log when this happens

    To summarize:
    DWM.exe uncontrolled spike memory when a large number of drawing happens on a monitor driven by a secondary graphics card, with resulting Aero is disabled.

    System Specs:
    OS: Windows 7 SP1 Professional, completely up-to-date (clean install - not upgraded to Vista)
    Processor: Intel core i7 2600 K 3.4 GHz (stock speed)
    Memory: 16 GB DDR3 1866 MHz
    Motherboard: Gigabyte P67a-ud7-b3
    Video: 2 x AMD Radeon 6970 2 GB (only the repros when you don't the crossfirex) (both cards must be running at the speed 8 x PCI-E in this configuration on this mobo, have not verified)
    Monitors: 3 x HP ZR24w @ 1920 x 1200 60 Hz color 32 bit depth (horizontal, Center monitor is primary & driven by the first video card, others by second video card)
    Hard drives: Crucial realSSD C300 256 GB, Western Digital WD5000AAKS SATA2 500 GB SATA3

    More information available on request.

    If anyone knows a workaround for this problem solution please let me know.  I'll post any solution that I ended up going with.

    Thank you!

    Remove any applicable integrated video driver in windows.  If you get the video of the PCI-E x 16 slot, so the system works correctly.  Bad video output could be the result of a bad or insufficient GPU for GPU.  A lot of high-end cards will need to the power port of 6/8 pins on the GPU.

    Note that the saturation of the GPU to high resolution will also result in a also noted distortion.  Drop the resolution up to 800 x 600 and repeat the test.

  • Pavilion p6 - 2020t: HP-Pavilion will identify the new graphics card

    Hello

    I got a HP Pavilion for a few years now and never updated my BIOS (not that I know well). I'm trying to install a new graphics (gtx 750ti) card and the computer does not recognize it. It shows the first screen, and then a black screen and a beep, then it crashes. Keyboard does not work, cannot get into the BIOS.

    I tried everythign with current BIOS, boot legacy and ensuring that the Integrated GPU is disabled, and nothing works. I also did research on food, and but it is not terrible, it should work with this graphics card (the fan even spinning).

    According to my research, the current BIOS is simply not recognize, and I need to update. My current version is: FRIEND 7.16, 05/10/2011

    I navagate through the HP website and it said that the automatic update should update the BIOS for Windows 10, and it won't let me download all drivers (although the last BIOS update was 2011). I tried to enter the FRIEND's site and download it from there and it won't even install their drivers, it says that flash is not supported (probably for Windows 10).

    If someone could give me an idea of how can I get a newer version of the BIOS for my motherboard, it would be much appreciated as I'm pretty sure that's the reason why the computer is not recognizing the new graphics card

    The risk is that the video card is one that is for a newer PC with an EFI BIOS. That's why the empty card is not recognized.

    If you use a card equipped with a switch on the virtual card allowing the use in legacy and uefi BIOS it will work with the BIOS of your PC.

    Sapphire makes video cards that have this capability. Take a look at the catalogue. What you need is a PCIE x 16 card video with switchable legacy\uefi BIOS or legacy support, but not only UEFI.

    http://www.sapphiretech.com/catapage_tech.asp?cataid=8 & lang = eng

    You cannot change the type of BIOS that your PC has in the UEFI.  It's a question of his being of a generation of diferent from the PC.

  • Pavilion p6 - 2120t: Windows will not start with the new graphics card

    Installed a Zotac GT 740 profile down in my desktop PC graphics card HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t and now the PC does not start.

    HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t CTO desktop PC

    Configuration:
    Intel Pentium CPU [email protected]
    4.0 GB RAM
    Intel HD Graphics Driver version Family: 8.15.10.2291 dated 27/01/2011
    Motherboard: IPISB-CU (Carmel2) (1 open PCI Express 16 expansion slot pins)

    BIOS to Version 7.18

    Running:
    Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit w/service pack 1
    Two monitors (VGA, 1 digital port 1)

    Before installing the new graphics card, I replaced the power supply original 300w with a 400w power supply.

    For starters, I disabled the onboard graphics in Device Manager. Then, I opened the case and installed the GT-740 in the open PCI Express slot. I made sure that the card was fully engaged in the slot.

    I plugged both monitors to their connections voted on the new map.

    When I tried to boot the PC, the digital monitor displays the screen HP (the one that indicates which key support to achieve the start menu) and then frozen. No other entries of key or mouse have been accepted.

    The PC then sounds 4 short beeps (about 10 seconds between each beep) and then a long beep before turning off the signal to the screen.

    Then, I removed the new graphics card on the PC that starts then. I have reactivated the original graphics drivers and the PC then worked normally.

    Tried the above process two more times with the same results.

    I then went into the start menu to look at the BIOS. The menu of the BIOS shows two options:

    > Sources of boot UEFI

    Windows Boot Manager

    > Sources of boot legacy

    ATAP I CD/DVD player

    SATA2

    Hard drive

    SATA0

    Network controller (Realtek PXE B06 D00)

    PC using UEFI Boot Manager Windows boots normally

    I have not tried Legacy Boot Sources because I don't know which one to choose.

    I went to the HP site and looked for an update to the newest BIOS, but updating them is a rev version 7.16 while my PC shows my BIOS to version 7.18

    I know that others have had a similar problem but I have not seen a solution that works for my PC.

    Any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    Your PC isn't spec'd to run Windows 7 using the Windows Boot Manager.  I expect to a UEFI-based graphics card likely to work on an HP PC that does not have a BIOS version 8.

    The below listed OEM HP, graphics cards should work in your PC using a normal non - UEFI W7 and W8 installation.
