• Switch between integrated and discrete graphics on alienware 14

  Hello

  I own an alienware 14(Haswell model). When I press fn + f5 to switch integrated graph and discreet n/b, it says your graphics solution is automatically configured for optimal performance and does nothing. I think it's something to do with the bios, but I can't find any hybrid option in the bios.

  Hi lahsivjar,

  Depending on your system configuration and the installed operating system, I will go ahead and show you the steps to have different applications that run using a specific card. So please give me your number system by private message service.

• Can I replace my graphic chipset with an integrated PCI Express graphics card?

  I am looking to update my graphics card. I did some research and learned that my motherboard is a N-Alvorix-RS880-Μatx (Yes, it has a PCI Express slot) and my current graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4200 (Chipset). Product information on my computer on the HP site said that "integrated into the graphics card or the card PCI Express x 16 slot are usable at once; they are not usable at the same time. "I don't know exactly what this means.

  Is it possible for me to get a new graphics card and use it on my computer? If so, what would I do with the current chipset graphic card? Or am I condemned to have to use my current lame graphics forever card?

  Thank you very much for the help.

  Hi Scott,.

  Please send the product code of HP to the exact address for your PC.

  When a video card is installed in the PCI-E x 16 slot, the bios will recognize this situation and will subsequently disable the motherboard integrated video processor.  It's one or the other but not both.

  Yes, you can put a discrete video card in your PC, but we need to know more information about your PC such as the size of the power supply etc.

• T500 completely scrambled discrete graphics

  My T500 has developed a serious problem with the video of the graphic interface is completely corrupt.

  I tried on the features of dual screen with my L170p monitor. As I used it, I noticed a video corruption, particularly on applications slipped between the views. Finally, I decided that it is not really me anyway, and so I minimized the 2 display resolution (800 x 600) and disabled the option "extend my Windows desktop on this monitor.

  However, corruption has continued and I decided to restart it. However, before I could, the machine gave a BSOD that was mostly unreadable. Reboot, the Windows XP splash screen was also altered; I tried to use the Fn + F7 to switch to the external display, but it was no better. Try to connect fingerprint BSOD machine'ed - this text is unreadable, but I saw the word '' parity '' in there. From this point, it went from bad to worse. Connect the external display and try to get the BIOS with the F1 to the ignition, I could see a text there, but it is mostly illegible and overlapping with lots of video noise and the vertical bars cyan, flashing boxes of all colors, etc..

  Somehow, I managed to do enough to get the BIOS to switch to the built-in graphics card and was able to boot Windows and install the Intel graphics driver, so the machine is little functional again.

  However, go back to "discrete graphics" gives the same problem: no video on the internal LCD screen, only scrambled on the external monitor. If I allow Windows to start with discrete graphics, TI BSOD with an unreadable screen for the most part, but it seems to speak to shut down Windows to avoid damaging the material and the word 'conflict' is here, too.

  Configuration: T500 type 2081-CTO, 4 GB RAM, Windows XP SP 3, fully updated with drivers

  Display of the BIOS settings (all other settings are default):

  Main default video device: internal

  Initializing display: Thinkpad LCD

  : Initially graphics discrete graphics, now integrated Graphics

  OS detection for switchable graphics: disabled

  I wondered if the bi-ecrans mapped configuration somehow ATI video RAM so that it comes into conflict with the top of that 4 GB of RAM. Remove a 2 GB DIMM has not helped. However, once the machine has restarted successfully with Windows, the ATI driver has not been loaded (as the discreet graphics card has been disabled) and so perhaps all that has been mapped has not been not mapped? However, I expect memory graphic mapping be reset to zero at the start anyway. And since the video is so completely that screwed up at startup, it is resembling more a permanent hardware failure, in which case the machine back under warranty.

  Are there any other suggestions on how to proceed?

  Best regards

  -The

  The machine came back last Friday - the technology has replaced the video chip, as well as the keyboard, for some reason any. He had also installed Vista x 64; I tried to learn to love it, I really have, but after a few days, I have decided that the benefits outweigh the problems of compatibility, I got with my (admittedly old) version of Lotus Notes. So I reinstalled XP Pro and everything is now back to normal - although I'm not willing to try the external chart again on this machine.

• HP 6570 b: Installation of the graphics processor dedicated HP 6570 b

  discrete graphics option. Reading on the

  an AMD Radeon HD M 7570. BUT, those who have a 90.
  not the adapter 65 Watt adapter w, I've got.
  The upgrade would be as simple as the purchase of the
  top rated adapter and installation of the GFX card?
  Or is it more than that? Is the graphics card above, the only one who would be compatible? Where you do it?

  I look forward to your reply.

  Hello:

  There is no graphics "card" in your notebook.

  Graphic design is configured as a removable and not scalable chip and the circuit integrated on the motherboard.

  The only way that graphs can be upgraded would be completely swap the motherboard with that contained in the service manual for your model with the best graphics.

• Problem with dedicated graphics processor NVIDIA T420

  I recently bought a T420 with graphic card NVIDIA NVS 4200 M. However, I couldn't find the option for switchable graphics, which I believe is supposed to be in the power management tool. I tried to switch to the use of discrete graphics in the bios, but it does not always seem to work.

  I have re-installed windows 7 and all the necessary drivers, but does not change the fact that I couldn't work graph. Also when I tried to open a demo of webGL in firefox, I was told that the browser does not support webGL when he did initially, until I have re-installed windows.

  I don't know what exactly is the problem and would be very happy to comment.

  Thank you!

  As much I know as the T420 obtained Optimus and no switchable graphics. Optimus will use the Nvidia if necessary and you cannot switch manually, unless you decide to disable optimus in choosing a fixed settin in BIOS (discrete/integrated). I have not used a laptop with Optimus yet, but I think that you can manually choose the Nvidia card by application.

  Are you sure you've got all the drivers installed? Did you use system update to install the drivers?

  You can try typing "subject: config" int the Firefox address bar, then look for "webgl", change "webgl.enabled_for_all_sites" 'True '. If it does not exist, you can create this value. Also, you can try to change 'adapted to webgl.force' 'True '. If you can't make it work it looks like a video driver issue.

  Webgl works in Chrome or any other browser?

• T400 w/Discrete Graphics gives the blue screen of death

  Hello

  I just got my T400 with discrete graphics.  From the start for the first time, Vista Basic told me that the computer does not close correctly (I'm guessing at the factory).  I started it normally (not safe mode) and it booted to Vista, but the preparation of the system 3.1 popped up and asked me what I wanted to do.  I chose "Enter system Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE)" and he did his thing and the system seems to work fine after that.

  After playing with the features a bit, I decided to close the lid and let it go to sleep and then wake him.  After awakening, the screen shows the office, then black, then I got a blue screen saying that a device driver signed an infinite loop.

  I was able to reproduce this problem several times and decided to change the BIOS settings to run only integrated graphics.   The system has worked under integrated grahics so I decided to run the update system and Windows Update and updated as supply manager.  After that, whenever I set the graphics settings in the BIOS to hybrid or discrete, the computer will boot into vista and then give a blue screen right after the flash of the Bureau on the screen.

  Please let me know what I can try.  Currently, I restore the hard drive to the factory image.

  I really can't believe the laptop left the factory like that.

  * Update

  I ended up sending my laptop in the warehouse, and they had to replace the motherboard.  Now everything works.

  Dealing with technical assistance has been horrible... but Mark_Lenovo helped me through this process and even extended my warranty as compensation to receive a machine comes with 2 problems: 1) a defective hard disk image and 2) a defective hand on Board that caused the onboard graphics to fail.

• Need help to install a new discrete graphics card

  I had a desktop Pavilion p6101f, upgraded to Windows 7, with an integrated Geforce 9100 graphic card. I want to install a discreet card to increase a little things. The HP support instructions say that the first necessary step is to "disable on board and select the right setting in the BIOS" by going into the Setup (F10) immediately at startup, go to the Advanced tab and then select the type of card being installed, which would be PCI - E. Problem is, there is absolutely no sign of the graphics options in the advanced options, or a different tab in my BIOS setup screens. So, what gives? Can I just skip this step and go directly to step 2 - disable the integrated graphics card drivers before installing the new card? Or do something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks for the clarification. Your correct, it is just to delete the previous drivers and installing the card, then the software from the CD of EVGA. To 31W of power, the card has doesn't require any power plug (s).

• Problems with discrete graphics from NVS 5200 m on T430s

  Hey all,.

  I just got my T430s mail this past weekend, and I had trouble with the Blue Screen of Death. It happened twice so far, and both times the graphics card is not recognized after reboot. The first time it happened, I tried to do a system restore, but that did nothing. I reinstalled the initial configuration using the recovery partitiion operating system, and that did the trick.

  The blue screen of death just happened again, and exactly the same problem has cropped up again. After reboot, the system no longer recognizes it has a discrete graphics card. When I try to start the Nvidia Control Panel, it tells me that it cannot detect a discrete graphics card in the system.

  I did a quick search of the forum, and I can't find any thread with a similar problem. I found this in the Lenovo support area, but it is not relevant to my http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/diagnose-and-fix/detail.page?DocID=HT052544equipment >

  On the NVIDIA site, I can only find drivers 'Beta' for NVS 5200 M http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-304.79-beta-driver.html>. After you download the driver and any attempt to install, the system gives me the same error that it cannot find any compatible graphics hardware.

  Here's my hardware configuration:

  ThinkPad T430s

  i5 3320 M 2.60 GHz

  NViDIA NVS 5200 m

  4 GB of RAM (stock)

  360 GB HARD drive (stock)

  It is located in Optimus. I don't think that there is only a discreet.

  I called Lenovo support center and discovered that there is a new graphics driver. Have not had a problem with the blue screen of death since then. Looks like that was the problem.

  Once more, if it happens again, I'll be sure to post here.

  Now corrected to my laptop an error of ATI Catalyst Control Center.

  I had given up the uninstall/reinstall and register pluck and sweep, so I ran Intel graphics all the time.

  I voted against reinstall .NET 3.5, 3.0, 2.0... as I didn't aggravate and lose even more time, since I have a working machine.

  The other day the matrix Driver Lenovo had a video update.

• Registry key to disable/uncheck 'Use the graphics processor' Photoshop (Adobe CS6)

  Hello

  I'm disable/uncheck the option 'Use graphics processor' parameters of the graphics processor (Performance) for all users that connect to a computer. I tried to find the registry key that can do (to create a GPO for that) but without success. Anyone know if this is possible and what will be the registry key that I need to create/change in order to achieve this? Thank you!

  Maybe the DisallowOpenGLWindows_ON_D.reg from here will work.

  I think you just need to change the version of photoshop from 11.0 to 60.0

  11.0 is photoshop cs4

  60.0 is photoshop cs6
