Pavilion g6 unrecognized radeon

Hey
I have a HP laptop Pavilion g6-2017sp running windows 7 64 bit and am having problems with my graphics.
Basically, I have two Radeon HD 7670 M and Intel HD Graphics 4000. the problem is that my laptop does not recognize the radeon and whenever I try to run a game I get the crapiest graphics.
I downloaded the catalyst control center and manually choose what programs run on energy saving or high performance (theoretically choose the radeon to run some).
that makes no difference. I tried to switch to the bios at startup and make the radeon deafult one but there is no option for such. I downloaded the latest updates from the hp support assistant

I want to help because I bought this laptop on other less expensive so I could use it for gamming, however he is underperforming my previous laptop 5 year old...

talked to hp support and managed to (aparently) solve the problem

1 - Download and install the latest version of the bios update http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-113818-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5240956&sw_lang=

2 - switch - the display adapter Device Manager right click on radeon and uninstall (makes your screen crapier for awhile)

3 - Download and install the latest radeon driver http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-111285-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5240956&sw_lang=

  • I am trying to upgrade graphics card on a Pavilion m7250.uk, radeon hd 5670

    I'm trying top grade of a 512 MB Radeon X 1650 to a Radeon HD 5670 1 GB graphics card on my Pavilion m7250.uk who has been classified it with a PSU 550w, 2 GB of Ram. On paper this should work and the card fits perfectly, but it does not start correctly. Card provider think it may be the motherboard or Bios and there may be a solution out there. Please advice! See you soon.

    Hello:

    If I'm not mistaken, the card you are trying to install is PCIe 2.1.

    Your PC was introduced in October 2005.

    This means that the slot is PCIe 1. 0 a, or at best, PCIe 1.1.

    For some reason, PCIe 2.1 cards have a hit or miss work history with these old version PCIe connectors.

    So that this card has a very high probability of working, you would have a PCIe 2.0 on the motherboard slot.

    There are no patches or updates to BIOS to change the version of the crack.

    My recommendation would be to return the card and get a powerful high 2.0 PCIe card of your choice.

    PCIe 2.0 video cards have a high success rate to work with a slot PCIe 1.1 or 1. 0a.

  • F004dx Pavilion 17: Pavilion 17 AMD Radeon HD graphics card Windows 7 drivers f004dx

    I'm downgrading my Pavilion 17 f004dx to Windows 7 Pro.  I have the Pro Windows 7 64 bit responsible and all windows updates for it so far.  I'm having a problem with the installation of the video drivers.  For some reason any the AMD Catalyst video driver utility does not see the specific video hardware video card model AMD Radeon HD graphics on the display card.  Windows 7 Pro keeps defining it as the "Standard VGA graphics card".  Does anyone know what it should be showing under display adapters in Device Manager.

    Is there anything I can do to get Windows 7 Pro 64 bit to recognize the graphics card AMD Radeon HD, so the AMD Catalyst software will be able to load the correct video drivers?

    Please advise...

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    I think I finally found a driver that works.

    None of the other drivers that we tried was the hardware ID for the GPU to your laptop, but this one doesn't.

    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 package contains the drivers for the 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. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

    File name: sp69161.exe

    You may need to install the driver manually if auto installation does not work.

  • Display size reduced after a 8.1 update on HP Pavilion with AMD Radeon HD 8470

    The HP Pavilion Ref.. 500 - 115ed / D7F07EA #ABH with the AMD Radeon HD 8470 display adapter.  has been connected with a HDMI cable to a monitor 22 inches (LG22EN43).

    After upgrade to 8.1 Windows 64 bit (from the 8 64 bit windows) OS only 20 inches of the screen is beeing used.

    Screen resolution: 1920 x 1080. (1680 x 1050 it displays on 22-inch again)

    As prescribed by the HP helpdesk, I installed the latest driver from the HP Web page display.

    Also the BIOS has been updated, but the two actions did not solve the problem.

    After installation of the AMD Catalyst software, I could access the Catalyst Control Center.  Here, it was possible to adjust the Underscan.

    Now we have 1920 x 1080 on a 22-inch monitor.

  • HP Pavilion H8-1120: Radeon HD 6970 will work with my motherboard?

    Hello

    I currently have a HP Pavilion desktop computer. The product is H8-1120, with model #QP771AA

    My motherboard is Carmel2 (IPISB-CU), with an i7-2600, 350W electric chip and the video card Radeon HD 7570.

    I wanted to play some of the newer games on the decent quality (usually, I would need to run on parameters below and even reduce the resolution, just to get 20 + FPS), and so I recently bought a new GTX 750TI graphics card to improve my computer with. But I had the same problem that everyone else did, where their HP Board would not accept the new card and nothing has helped my problem.

    Now I'm back TI GTX750 and I am looking for a good upgrade from my current GPU, at a reasonable cost, and I absolutely want to know, 100% that I won't not motherboard compatibility issues with the new gpu.

    I was looking at the graphics card Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6850 cards. Both are a little better than my other current graphics card, and I will also update the food too 550-600W.

    No one knows for sure if I'll be able to run the HD 6970 graphics card on my motherboard, with a 600W POWER supply upgrade? I checked online and the Radeon Series 6000 was released to the year 2010, a year before my current BIOS (FRIEND 7.16 / 10/05/2011) was released. My BIOS will be able to work with this graphics card?

    Bozhidarc, welcome to the forum.

    The reason why GTX 750 it won't work in your computer is to UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  I know the last video card that requires no UEFI EVGA's GTX 660.  Anything after this model requires UEFI.  The best thing to do is to find the card you like and contact the Technical Support of the manufacturer to ensure that it will work on your computer.

    MSI is a GTX 750 Ti with a BIOS card hybrid switch that allows to work with a standard legacy BIOS or UEFI.  Yet once, however, I recommend to contact MSI to ensure it will work with your computer.  I heard some members who have managed to make it work with the BIOS of their inheritance.

  • Pavilion 14-n204sf: Radeon 8670 current driver does not allow for color management

    Hi, this is my first post on the forum. The problem, I do face is quite simple: after I've updated 8670 M Radeon driver for my computer in August I immediately found that color management system was not working. Cannot use an ICC profile, impossible to calibrate a monitor (I tried X-Rite and the built-in Windows, both failed tool), any feature dealing with color management had simply disappeared from my machine and was replaced by an error message - aaargh!

    At the time I found that all the problems have disappeared as soon as I rolled back the Radeon driver to the previous (IE. July 2015) pilot and learned how Windows 10 not not trying the upgrade of this driver more. Of course, the problem was caused by a major bug in the new driver, but a simple tunraround should just continue to use the previous driver. So far so good.

    But now things have only become worse. Due to a problem with a software, I tried to find the current driver Radeon, which turned out to be the dreaded August version, with the result the same mess as before. When I tried to roll back this driver again for the July version working, I had the very bad surprise as (1) "Roll back driver" in the control panel is gray now as if there was no previous version, and (2) it is not possible to find the version of June on the website of HP - or elsewhere also.

    So: How/where can I get the driver of 8670 M Radeon dated July 6, 2015, so I can use my computer for my work in photography again? I can't believe that it is not possible.

    And of course, I have a second question: how is it that no new version of the driver has been released since August to set a such obvious flaw? I hope that someone will take the time to solve the problem and deliver a pilot fully working soon.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    HI @jlb21,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I understand that when you install the graphics driver updated for Radeon 8670 M in August you have lost your color management system did not work.  Once you cancelled the driver in the device manage everything was good again.

    Because of a software problem, you must reinstall this driver. When you checked the Device Manager there is only the version of the driver available August and you do not have a roll back driver option.

    You can try to uninstall the driver and then search for the driver, try a Windows driver if available to determine if it would help.

    As you have 10 Windows installed I don't know if you still have the recovery partition. If not and you have recovery media, you can try following the steps described in the following document.

    Computers HP - using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8)

    If the driver in question was provided with your original operating system and you have no support for recovery, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.    You can ask if they can check if all drivers have been updated on the recovery kit that I don't know.  I don't know if they can verify this information, but it does not hurt to ask?

    Please contact HP to Contact HP Supportassistance.

    Please let me know the results.

    Hello Ashgowda99,

    Thanks for the informative reply!

    As the network test came up with an error message on the "renewal of your IP connection", I recommend that you follow the steps below:

    I would like to clear your DNS. You can do so by following the steps I outlined below:

    Step 1. Click the Start button
    Step 2. In the search box, type "Command Prompt"
    Step 3. Right click on command prompt

    Step 4. Click on run as administrator
    Step 5. At the command prompt, type "ipconfig/release" and press enter

    Step 6. Type the command "ipconfig / renew".

    At this successful? If this isn't the case, I would like you to reset the TCP/IP stack. To do this follow the next series of steps that I have set out below:

    Step 1. Click the Start button
    Step 2. In the search box, type "Command Prompt"
    Step 3. Right click on command prompt

    Step 4. Click on run as administrator
    Step 5. Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" and press ENTER.
    Step 6. Type 'netsh int ip reset reset.log' and press ENTER.
    Step 7. Restart your computer

    Then, if none of the above works I would that try you to Update Windows Installer in Windows 8. I recommend that ensure you that all updates are completed.

    Then, I would like that try you the next series of steps, I have outlined for you below:

    Step 1. Click the Start button
    Step 2. In the search box, type "Windows Explorer"

    Step 3. Click on Windows Explorer

    Step 4. In the address at the top of the page bar try to distribute a video or download Google Chrome

    If you are still not able to connect to your network, you will need to remove and reinstall the wireless card drivers on your laptop. To do this, I recommend you remove the pilots in programs and features and the Device Manager. Once removed the old software, restart your computer. The drivers for your wireless network card can be downloaded an installed as a result of this document on the download or update of software and drivers for HP computers.

    Then, if all else fails we will try to use using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer to a point in time before that this issue has been raised. This does not affect personal files that you have on your computer, but it will affect on the settings that you have changed or applications that you have installed since the time that you return to. These should be redone once we are finished.

    Finally, if we still have the issue we are at the point where we have to use the HP support document: backup of files (Windows 8) to backup your personal files. Once we did it with success I would like to see again you and follow the steps in the HP Support document: performing a recovery of HP (Windows 8) system, which will guide you through restoring your computer to the factory.

    NOTE: This will destroy everything on your computer in order to ensure that you have backed up everything you want to keep.

    Because this will replace completely ALL of your software on your computer, this should solve your problem.

I contacted the seller who said that the video card has been tested prior to shipment and that it may be a compatibility issue with my PC. I know that this graphics card has a PCI Express 3.0 interface 16 x so that my PC has a PCI Express 2.0, but I don't think that this could be a problem.

    Note: I move the power supply to 650W.

    @Astyx, welcome to the forum.

    You are right that the PCIe 3.0 is backward compatible with PCIe 2.0.  However, your problem is the motherboard.  The Radeon card requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a Legacy BIOS. The BIOS may not be walking in the UEFI.  PCIe 3.0 cards requiring UEFI will not work in any other location.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The latest maps to exploit without UEFI are the GTX 660/670.

  • Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC: Code 43 with AMD Radeon HD 6300 m series

    Hello forum users HP

    NOTE: SORRY I WRITE THIS IN THE BAD ADVICE. ALL "NOTEBOOK TIPS" WERE / IS 'READ ONLY' NOT ALLOWING ME TO POST IT. IT IS THE COUNCIL CLOSER TO YOU, I COULD FIND. AGAIN, I AM SORRY.

    I had problems trying to play new games (Maplestory and Minecraft) on my laptop. After trying many problems on the forums of game specific, I came to the conclusion that my video card is what affect my ability to play these games.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop running 64-bit Windows 10.

    • Processor Quad-Core AMD Phenom P960
    • 4.00 GB ram
    • AMD Radeon HD 6300 M series and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 series 'graphics cards.

    The problem that seems to hinder my ability to load these games is my AMD Radeon HD 6300 m series card. Looking in the Device Manager I see it's a Code 43 error: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems."

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers with windows update. I went on the site of AMD and installed the new beta drivers of Crimson 15.11.1.

    I found this post:

    http://www.TomsHardware.com/Forum/381108-33-solved-graphics-error-code

    and follow up post mrgooyes (about 4-5 responses down) and again I have no luck.

    I thought maybe since I opened my laptop some time ago and didn't eventually plug them into common sense could be considered, but my dad says they're integrated into the motherboard. I'm starting to believe, it is a problem with Windows 10 and alas, I have no possibility of return.

    If anyone has any ideas what could be wrong or how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

    I would like to know if there is more information that I would need to post and I will gladly try my best to keep guys updated day.

    Thanks in advance for any answer!

    On another note, my Windows Update has installed some drivers for the cards and their revenue to the original state that they were (code 43). How can I stop windows update install this specific update?
