Laptop will not switch to the AMD Radeon graphics card

Hello.  I just bought a Dell Latitude 3540 on 10/01/13 (yesterday) and everything but the graphics go a lot.  Whenever I check the graphics that are used, it says "Intel HD Graphics 4400" instead of 'AMD Radeon HD 8850 M' as it should be.  I installed the Catalyst driver and software and plugged in, but also put everything for maximum performance in the config of switch graphics.  I EVEN USED PC RESET.  NOTHING WORKS.  Help, please.

Hello

What is the version of the Catalyst driver and software you use?

The option to switch between graphics depends on the version of the installed Catalyst driver. I suggest you follow the article given below for further assistance.

    I also tried looking for a bios update, but I couldn't find one that was on the hp Web site.

    Please help I don't want to buy a new motherboard and cpu.

    Hello

    Most graphics cards require BIOS version 8 HP.  BIOS version 8 is listed under Windows 8 for your particular model PC.  While the BIOS version 8 will probably support your new graphics card, you might find yourself stuck that Windows 7 will not work using the UEFI. You can install BIOS and then turn on legacy mode and see if the card works. However, if the card is a single card UEFI well then you are in a situation of 'catch' 22 In this case, you would have the BIOS later and W7 should always work in legacy mode.  Even with this BIOS update running in mode inherited that there could be some risk that W7 will not work.  Once you update the BIOS there is no coming back.

    Another thought.

    There are no Windows Ultimate 10 version if upgrading to W10 (free upgrade) would you put on the professional version W10. I do not know if that would suit your needs. However, if you have a place in the upgrade by using the W10 iso DVD or flash drive then you could extract the W10 license key so that your could do a clean install with legacy mode turned off in the BIOS that puts your PC into UEFI mode.

    You have a few risks to consider.  In addition, HP has not posted the W10 for your PC drivers.

    What would I do?  I'd go for it, but then my wallet could be deeper than yours.

  • Laptop will not start without the battery attached

    Hello

    I have a Hp pavilion dv6700 series (dv6840el) and just, it will not start without the battery attached.

    If I plug in the AC adapter, I get some computer activity (fan, noise of the dvd player and HD drive spins) for about 5 seconds, then shuts down.

    Once I plug the battery (which is dying, who need a replacement), the laptop starts fine.

    So my question is: what is a motherboard or a problem with the AC adapter?

    The AC adapter looks ok, however. But if I am considering buying a spare battery, I assure you that I have a new adapter as well.

    Thanks in advance.

    My laptop is the Satellite P100-160, which has a 945GM Express chipset is not able to play the latest games. I understand that the graphic card cannot be replaced. So, which eliminates this option...

    Recently, another solution I've heard of is an external graphics such as the Asus XG station...

    However these devices large need an express card slot, which I'm not sure that this laptop has even?

    If it's not there ways to add to my laptop? And if not, what other options are available to me that may help my laptop to face the latest games?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Intel graphics card is simply not powerful enough to handle the latest PC games.
    You think so, why all the hardcore gamer don t buy computers laptops, but during the CPU clock and buy new graphics for PC s Office cards?

    The laptop is not comparable with the desktop PC. It's just different technology according to the limitations of hardware upgrade on your laptop, you can spend only the HARD drive and RAM.
    You cannot add also all other ports for laptop. It is not possible :(

    I do not know. The answer depends on what's wrong with the old.

    Can I do this using a USB Flash drive?

    # If you can not start the old laptop, you cannot transfer files from it

    If the problem with the old laptop isn't that hard drive has

    and get an external USB enclosure. Having done this, you can read

  • Windows 8 on AMD Radeon graphics card is not completely fill the screen

    Just installed Windows 8 Pro on a Dell Inspiron Zino HD with an AMD Radeon HD 4300 Series.

    Display is a LG on HDMI monitor.

    Installation went well apart from my screen Windows does not fill my entire screen.  I don't think it's something to do with the resolution of the screen, it's just the way that 'image' does not fill the screen correctly.

    Hello

    Did you install these legacy AMD official drivers?
    There is also a setting in the Catalyst Control Center associated with overscan (he has a slider).
    This one should expand your image to fill the edges of the screen.

    Each book has specific boot order and in this boot order components of different material as drive optical drive, hard drive, or LAN.

    The start is always set in the BIOS settings and nothing, for instance HARD, LAN and ODD disk boot order. If the laptop can not boot from HDD ist starts from second defined device (LAN) and continue.

    Boot order of your laptop satellite does not for me, but somehow, it stays on the startup of the LAN device option and you can see this message on the screen.

    Restart your laptop, and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings. The default value and try again. If the same start arriving portable once again but this time with the F12 for boot options-enter key. With top and bottom arrows have chosen press and device disk HARD come. If the HARD disk is OK, OS should load up. If this is not the case, there is a problem with the operating system preinstalled.

  • retina iMac 5K AMD Radeon graphics card will be a problem for first Pro CC and AE?

    So far, I had no problem all editing of images 4K scaled down in 1080 p timelines in Adobe first Pro CC on my 2012 iMac i7 with these specs:

    iMac i7.png

    Now I am considering upgrading to the iMac 5 K retina with the following maximum out-of-specs:

    Retina iMac 5K.png

    • I will be maxing out the DDR3 RAM 32 GB with third-party RAM sticks, probably OWC.

    But I read in various forums that even the iMac of retina 5K upgrade AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4 GB memory GDDR5 graphics card would not be able to handle video editing in Premiere Pro or AE CC effects. That would require an NVIDIA card that Apple chose to end their 5 K retina iMac.  I guess that I can't understand how a 2014 maxed out retina 5K iMac would not at least as powerful as a 2012 iMac i7.

    As I use programs Adobe CC to my creative work, I don't want to upgrade to an iMac that can't handle 4 K editing in a 1080 p timeline just because of a change in graphics cards.

    What are your thoughts? Anyone working in first Pro CC in view of the retina of the iMac?

    Yes, I did. Used for months and it works great
