Lenovo y480 d3d9/d3d errors

Hello. I posted this question in several other forums on the internet, but nobody seems to have an answer for me, so I thought I'd try here. My Lenovo y480 was having serious problems playing some of my steam games recently, such as Storm Rising, chivalry: Medieval Warfare, rusty, Sins of a Solar Empire and others. My laptop has the 650 gt, which comes with an Intel HD 4000 in a framework of Optimus, and whenever I try to play one of these games I have one of several possible errors. Either the game will run in windowed mode of low resolution, which crash and will give an error message on a d3d9 or d3d error, sometimes accompanied by a black or white screen flashing, if I put it at the highest resolution (1366 x 768) or if I put it in mode full screen. This happens with rust and chivalry. With storm rising, the game immediately crashes and gives an error d3d (impossible to create the d3d device) on a white screen. I tried to change the resolution by default in the configuration files of games to my standard resolution, so to update my drivers and directx. However, nothing has been able to solve these problems. Can anyone possibly tell me what is the cause and how to fix it? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the help! I followed your advice and looked for older drivers, and in the process, I noticed that there are several newer drivers me had not prepared my GeForce experience. I downloaded the latest drivers and a newer version of GeForce experience, and it fixed all the questions I had. I certainly would have thought to update manually the drivers beforehand. Thank you!

  • Guide: replace the HDD with SSD, Lenovo Y480

    Lenovo
    That's how I replaced my HDD with a SSD in my Lenovo Y480. I did it immediately, so there is no user file to consider. I used a key from Lenovo recovery. Read this guide in its entirety before starting.

    Execution time: about an hour.

    Items, you will need:

    -Y480 Lenovo

    -New SSD (I chose a Mushkin Chronos Deluxe because my research lead me to conclude that it is the best available from June 2012)

    -Small Phillips screwdriver

    -Butter knife or similar to remove the HARD drive. There is not much space for your fingers in there.

    -DVD-r blank

    Step 1

    Turn on the computer.

    Step 2

    Write the number '1' on a blank DVD-R and insert into the optical drive.

    Step 3

    Press the small button just to the right of the power button. This launches a recovery key.

    Step 4

    Follow the instructions on the screen to make restore disks. I chose the factory restore option, which required three DVD - Rs. label each disc with numbers to let you know in what order to use them later. Once it is finished, place back #1 DVD into the optical drive.

    Step 5

    Physically remove the hard drive and insert the SSD drive by following the instructions below.

    1. turn off and unplug your computer, flip upside down.
    2. remove the battery.
    3. remove the access panel by removing the two screws and slide.
    4. remove the two screws that hold the hard drive carrier.
    5 remove the hard drive by lifting upward. There is a right angle SATA adapter plugged into the hard drive. This card just came out with the hard drive.
    6 disconnect the hard drive adapter and plug it on the SSD.
    7 unscrew the hard drive bracket and screw it on the SSD.
    8 put the SSD drive in the Bay, screw the support down and replace the access panel. Be sure to screw it up.
    9. replace the battery, lock.

    Step 6

    If you did not already the first recovery DVD in the optical drive, use a paper clip to open the optical drive and insert the diskette. Close the drawer, then turn on the computer to start the restoration.

    Step 7

    Select the boot drive by pressing F12 when you see the Lenovo logo during startup, and then select the optical/DVD drive in the list.

    Step 8

    Follow the instructions on the screen. The first time that I did, restoration impossible immediately, probably because of a missing partition. However, after restarting the computer by performing a battery pull, then continue to step 6 restore completed successfully.

    I have not compared this drive, but I can tell you that the Windows experience index is 7.9 and startup time is 24 seconds now. The base index is 6.8 for this system now.

    You will find that Windows has already helped TRIM. However, regular defragmentattion was still on. I think that the system restore has been disabled automatically.

    Good luck

    Matt

    I saw no option for this, and I was quite surprised, that he didn't do it automatically. I'm not an expert on everything, so what follows is a guess.

    Perhaps that if you create a partition on the SSD first, recovery will recognize and use it.

  • Windows 8 Lenovo Y480 bootloader problem

    Hi, I recently bought a Lenovo Y480 preloaded with Windows 8. I reduced the size of the partition of Windows 8 to make a new partition for a new installation of Ubuntu 12.04. Figured, GRUB has messed up the bootloader and I simply can't boot into Windows 8 more.

    I tried recovery of Windows 8, but the operating system cannot be detected.

    • Refresh your PC - I get this message: 'the drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive, and then try again. "
    • Reset your PC - I get this: "impossible to reset your PC. A required disk partition is missing. »

    And so I did the cmd prompt in windows recovery 8 bcdboot my partition, bootrec /fixmbr, but none of them work.

    So I tried to restore a Lenovo using the key recovery feature, and I get this message "the program cannot restore the system partition because its structure is incorrect. You may have to re-create the partition to continue '. " I don't have a backup when I first this laptop. I know because I'm sorry for me but it's no use lol. Then I tried to delete my partition ubuntu and do as he used to be. You guessed it, it gives me the same message again.

    If you are facepalming during playback I can absolutely understand because I'm about to break and reformat and reinstall windows 8. I have no experience with lenovo and their partitions or software or the UEFI boot loader thing.

    Questions are, if I format my windows partition unbootable current 8 and reinstall my Win8 to be here product key with a new will? If I'm screwed?

    Thank you.

    And. the answer is, I'm not screwed.

    I grew some balls and deleted my windows partition 8. Take a copy of test Windows 8 or whatever we call and install it. Setup rewrites the bootloader and after that I used the one key recovery to recover its initial state.

    Voila. It's good as new.

  • Lenovo y480 does not connect to wifi

    I've had my y480 (renovated) Lenovo for about a week now and it connected to my wifi without problem the first days. Then last night it suddenly lost internet connection and has not received this morning either. I rebooted several times. All of my other "gadgets" / laptops get the connection. This one seems to find my router for a second, give me internet for a second, then don't say 'no internet connection' and then finally say that it does not find my wifi connection.

    Don't know what to try.

    Thank you

    Casey

    After that I went out for a few hours, I came back and my power went out in my apartment. Now, everything seems to work again.

    I'm confused because I tried to reset the router once.

    It is unusual to have one computer accepts not WiFi sometimes? I have not experienced this with my other computers. I want to just make sure that the problem is not something to be feared that the system is refurbished.

    Thank you very much!

  • Error D3D error fatal - in GTA IV and the game does not run.

    Hello

    GTA iv will not work. I get the fatal error message, the error D3D.

    I contacted Rockstar and they advised to update .NET 3.5 and install installation web dx.

    Please let know us if I really need to do those things that I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I would have thought that the latest Dotnet is already in the operating system.

    Finally, where can I find which version of Dotnet I. It does not appear in the list of programs.

    Thank you very much

    roystont5038.

    They are probably right.

    It seems that many times some games refer to pieces of DX9-coding, which somehow is not recognized, thus generating errors.
    It can't hurt to install .NET 3.5 and (re-) install DirectX, I found a lot of (mostly older games however) the issues have been resolved by installing DX9.0c.
    No idea why. but seems to be a magical charm :)

  • Battery Lenovo Edge 15 unauthorized error

    I have a Lenovo Edge 15 80H10004US. It's about five months. Recently, I noticed that the battery has a red X on it, and although it is reported that plugged in charge, he never takes a charge. If I disconnect the AC power that the laptop turns off in one to two seconds. I read many similar problems with the older models, but not mine. Similar recommendations that seem to include measures such as the removal of dough that is not possible (AFAIK with on the cancellation of the guarantee), turn off the system as a Hard Reset and uninstall the battery ACPI drivers. These steps have not solved my problem. The Energy Manager lists the battery as unauthorized and tells me to get it replaced.

    I would like to get a few patches, other recommendations that send them to the Lenovo or have the Geek Squad to fix (it was purchased from Best Buy).

    Please let me know what other information you might need to assist me.

    Red Cross appears usually when the battery has failed.

    If you have already tried the hard reset and update the drivers, then it seems not be much you can do.

    Repair of Lenovo, while you are still in warranty, it would be my suggestion.

  • My new Lenovo G580 - blue screen error

    Hello

    I bought a new lenovo G580 (Intel B950/2 GB / 500 GB) with the BACK (Friday - 21 September, 2012).

    I installed another 2 GB of RAM in the extra slot. So, I now have a total of 2 + 2 GB of RAM.

    I installed Windows7 inside. It worked fine for 1 day, but when I installed bluetooth G580, wifi drivers, it began to break up with blue screen by creating a dump file. Now, I'm not even able to boot the system. I formatted the system twice and could not draw it. I've seen other forums and found out that it is due to some problems of dropbox etc, but I have not installed same software 1. As soon as I installed windows7, I started with drivers (Drivers DVD came with my laptop)

    Please help me.

    Thank you best regards &,.

  • Lenovo y480 turn off cooling fan.

    Hello world!

    I would like to know if you can help me with this problem.

    I installed windows 7 Home premium and activated, everything was good and laptop works very well. The problem is that the cooling fan works at all times. Rarely it turned off.

    I've done and that you check this box:

    -Version of the BIOS. It is upgraded to the latest version. 5DCN40WWW date: 10/10/2012, extracted from msinfo32

    -Windows Update.

    -No viruses

    -Drivers Nvidia update

    -Process. I looked for a process that could cause this behavior, but all are less than 10% CPU occupancy.

    Well, this is what I did. Anything you can suggest for me would be great.

    Kind regards.

    Thank you for your help.

    Problem has been solved, I need to replace the thermal grease. All is well now.

    I got exactly the same problem that drove me nuts for a long time. I found a solution, it's not elegant but it works and I would hope that there is another way.

    There is something on your screen resolution that do not like GTA, mine is1920 x 1080. I decrease the screen resolution in Windows 7 at 1024 x 768. I can then correctly enter the game. You can then choose your resolution you want in the graphics options.

    Hope that works for you.

  • How can I fix error d3d9.dll

    How can I fix the error d3d9.dll

    Hi Antony,

    1. when exactly did you D3D9. DLL error?

    2 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    3. what version of Windows is installed on your computer?

    D3d9.dll problems result in one way or another by a problem with Microsoft DirectX.

    The file d3d9.dll and d3d10_1.dll is one of many files in the DirectX software collection. Because DirectX is used by most Windows-based games and graphics programs advancements, d3d9.dll errors usually only appear when you use these programs.

    Important note: Do not download the file d3d9.dll individually any "DLL download site."

    Note: If you have already downloaded the d3d9.dll in these places to download DLL, remove it from everywhere where put you it and continue with the following steps.

    Step 1:

    Restart your computer if you have not yet.

    D3d9.dll error may be a stroke of luck and a simple restart could clear up completely.

    Note: the latest version of DirectX should be installed no matter if you are on Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. Installation can include DirectX9 and DirectX10 files but they run side-by-side without problem on all these operating systems.

    Step 2:

    Install the update from the link below and check if the problem is resolved.

    End-user Runtime Web install DirectX
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=2da43d38-DB71-4C1B-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

    Step 3:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
     
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
     
    Note: after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Step 4:

    System File Checker Scan SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

    Reference:
