Pavilion dv7 - 4283cl: two graphics cards?

I was looking in the Device Manager on my laptop, trying to find the specs on my display driver that I've always had problems with it, and I see (what I think are) two display drivers!

Is this normal?

You are the very welcome.

You can use the AMD driver listed on your laptop support page.

It is a custom driver developed by AMD/Intel to work specifically with the graphical configuration has your laptop.

Any attempt to update the driver through windows update, go to the AMD or Intel sites to find newer drivers will cause the switchable graphics to stop working correctly.

I do have any laptops with switchable graphics, so I can't help you with how to address the issue that you have other than what I said above.

Here is some additional info from HP describes the amd/intel switchable graphics works.

Your laptop is the switchable graphics fixed or dynamics.

http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02731962

You will need to read the info on the link to determine what chart type of installation your laptop has.

You cannot change one to the other.  That's what it is... fixed or dyamic.

But if you have installed any graphics driver, you will need to uninstall the intel and amd graphics cards, restart the PC and reinstall the driver graphic HP amd.

This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this driver packageincludes for two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance.

File name: sp50640.exe

I know that the graphics driver of HP swithcable is outdated, but HP is not update unless there is a bug known.

Must be too expensive for them to get with AMD/Intel to develop constantly the updated drivers is all I can surmise.

    According to the HP for your PC product page, it did not come with preinstalled Win10, so this implies that you upgraded to Win10, right?

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.

    However, for the MS drivers that don't work well, you might consider using drivers HP Win8 - although there is no guarantee that these drivers will work.  Here is the link to the page of software and drivers HP product for Win8 to your PC: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-15-e000-Notebook-PC-series/5355006/model/5389901

    If this page does not display Win8x when you open it, then click EDIT and select Windows 8 x using the menu drop down.

    You may need to install the drivers using the compatibility mode: http://www.windows10forums.com/articles/compatibility-mode.7/

    I have a hp pavilion a6325 and my graphics card is fried what graphics card is compatible? the old card is a nvidea geforce8500gt but these seem difficult to obtain now. If I wanted to update that is not compatible. C.P. specification is as follows.

    Yes, you could install maps better with a more solid food.

    The card I have chosen for you will work with the P/S of 300W to your PC.

    I have never installed a power improved in any of my PC, so I can't be a great help for you there.

    But if you get the right one that matches all connections from your PC, and fits in place of the current one, you, you should not need to buy anything others.

    There is no 'card' you might be imagining. The video is one of the dishes chips soldered to the motherboard. You already have the best video system available for dv7-4000 series of laptops, so there is no way upward to something better.

    Unfortunately, the GPU is not extensible in these units.  You will need to update the whole motherboard package, which would be costly and cause potential reliability problems in the future.  Your best option would be to upgrade to a laptop more recent with the GPU and the plug, you need.

  • HP Pavilion 15-n057sr: AMD graphics card does not work on windows 10

    Hello!

    I have an AMD graphics card in my laptop, but there is no drivers for windows 10 forher.

    Installation driver Windows 8.1, latest drivers from amd or windows has always led to a screen of death, and after him, he appears each time you start. To solve it, I fix it using restore points. So, why hp doesn't have a driver for his own material? I'm looking for a working one?

    Thank you in advance.

    OK... so what this means is that, while HP provides two models of this laptop, with pre-installed Win8x and the other with Win10, they have different hardware.  The Win10 version apparently does NOT use the AMD chipset, so HP provides no driver for it.

    This means that you're stuck with having upgraded a laptop computer for which there aren't the necessary drivers for HP Win10, and given that HP no longer produces Win10 drivers for older laptops, this situation will not improve over time.

    If you want to have all the features on your laptop, you should consider to return to Win8xs - and that the upgrade of Win10 is known to corrupt recovery information HP OEM, the ONLY way to do that is using recovery media HP to restore laptop factory.

  • Pavilion Mini 300-050np: graphics card driver keeps breaking on any media player - WIN 10 64 b

    Not sure if I'm still on the right section of the forum and you can not give much background on this problem.

    I plug this Pavilion Mini 300-050NP and I'm having no end of problems. The recent is that all the videos that I try to play it crashes. On any player, I tried. Even on VLC, which is usually very forgiving. A video will start to freeze and I start getting lots of pop-up messages windows video driver to a problem, but was recovered. I don't see the full message as they follow poping up. Windows decides finally to block the player that it causes a problem.

    This PC is windows 8.1 that I upgraded to 10. Had a lot of problems and a few recoeveries. Windows did several updates, so I don't know how the graphic driver or the card has stopped working (worked fine with KMPlayer, which is what I usually use a few days ago). I tried to install the driver of HP page and I got a message that it was an older version. Tried in any case but the problem pressists.

    HP Support Assistant is completely missing my PC, he sees just as a laptop with a competely different product number, so no help. If I update from the Device Manager, I get a new drive, but it does not help either, same thing happens.

    What can I do? Would it be a setting of the card he pushes too hard, or something? If this can even be pushed too hard? I have 0 experience with integrated Intel graphics cards, I've always had PCs with dedicated ATI or nvidia graphics cards, so I don't know what to do (help I'm on another topic here, I was told the Intel graphics drivers do not work well and that's a fact.)

    Please help as I got this mainly as a Media Center and who have access to the web seems to be the best I can do with her so far...
