Precision M6800 video driver upgrade inquiry

Hi all

Well, I was finally able to upgrade my Vostro 3700. The Vostro was a good system, but it still ran hot. Dell has been kind enough to share my system with precision M6800. So far, I got the same EXCELLENT customer service with the number of calls on my Vostro overheating. With this new laptop, I think they have finally reached the mark, he is NOWHERE near as hot as the Vostro 3700 on idle and all playing games.

That being said, I'm trying to update my video drivers. There is a 4600 Intel integrated with the Intel Core i5 processor and an AMD over-pants M6100. Both using PowerPlay to manage graphics cards. I already downloaded the Intel and AMD video drivers from the Dell Support Web site. There is a warning on the Dell AMD driver page advising that the Intel driver must be installed first. When I try to install the Intel driver, I get the following error message:

""This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.".

So now I must ask, what else do I need to install the latest drivers?

I also downloaded the drivers of Intel provided site and he informed that I need to go through the manufacturer to obtain the latest drivers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Johnathan

@Ravi,

Since the condition Dell drivers did not work, I went to Inte.com and AMD.com and downloaded both of their drivers for the Intel HD 4600 and the AMD over-pants M6100. I made sure that all video cards have been uninstalled and their drivers deleted, except for the GDIHOOKS which I was not sure.

After a clean reboot, I started to install the Intel drivers, no complaint has provided the installer driver and installed without error. Restarted after installation. The screen change resolution to something more preferable and it seems to have worked very well. Suite on...

Started website AMD over-pants AMD.com pilots. They have not also complain of mounted, etc. Installation took longer than expected because it is a larger set. It is installed without problem. Restarted. No other error and everything seems good.

A test, I checked my energy saving settings. Maximum power on all saving battery related. Maximum performance on all associated Plugged In. Now, unlike before, when executing a pile, I get about 8-9 hours of battery life. Front when disconnected with the same power settings I received only about 2 hours. Plug the AC adapter in and launched Portal 2 with all its parameters back to the maximum with a resolution of 1600 x 900. Works very well. No delay, the graphic is great, works well.

Thus, as it seems the site provided Dell.com drivers either have problems with this model and the BONES (M6800 Precision Mobile Workstation with Windows 7 64-bit), or they do not work properly.

For anyone else who is curious, here are the links to the drivers I used:

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    From your description, it seems that, after you have installed the correct video driver for your ProBook (15.201.1301) AMD, Windows Update is then by installing a different driver on top of that, right version?

    If this is the case, you must follow these instructions to STOP Windows update update drivers: how stop Windows 10 to update automatically the device drivers - windows Windows 10-10

    Once you do this, you should not see updates to the pilot after that.

    Good luck

  • TouchSmart 15-j040us - cannot download required driver upgrade to 8.1 Windows

    Hello

    I have a computer laptop 15-j040us Touchsmart is now a little older than a year (now out of warranty). My laptop has been asked to upgrade to Windows 8.1 since the first week or two after that I bought the new system.

    The update downloads very well and starts installation but fails every time when it tries to install different devices. At this point, the screen turns black, the laptop restarts and I get an error message saying that update did not work and that the system has been restored to its previous state.

    After working through to HP technical support, including sending the laptop to them to reimage, I am still unable to run the update, which means that my laptop is unable to run the applications and programs HP indicating that my laptop is ready to operate.

    I'm pretty confident that the problem is the Nvidia video driver. The version currently supported (version 9.xxx) of the driver is not compatible with 8.1. HP has a listed driver which is compatible with 8.1 (version 10.x.x.x), but I can't download it until my laptop is running 8.1. NVIDIA has released the site a driver that is compatible with both OS, but I can't seem to download it and install it so that I can perform the update.

    Can someone help me understand how to download the Nvidia driver so that I can perform this update?

    SOLUTION! I've updated my laptop for Windows 8.1!

    I confirmed that it was indeed a problem with the graphics driver Intel HD4000. After going to the site of Intel support for help, they showed a way to manually install the driver that I needed, even if it was not validated by HP.

    For others with the same question:

    1. go on Intel "Driver Update Utility". I leave automatically detect my hardware and used their suggested graphics driver. Otherwise, find the right driver for me Win64_153322.

    2. download the .zip, NOT the free installation package file and save it to your desktop for easy access.

    3 extract the .zip file, so you can access the files inside.

    4. go to the Device Manager, expand "graphics cards", right-click on "Intel HD4000" and click "Update Driver Software".

    5. Select ' Browse my computer for driver software

    6. choose "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".

    7. Select 'Have disk' and in the box that appears, select Browse

    8. go on the desktop, find the files extracted (for me, it was labeled Win64_153322), select "Graphics".

    9 select the file titled "igdlh64.inf".

    10. click on open

    Now the driver will install what should be version 10, instead of the version of HP 9.

    Once installed the new driver, download update Windows 8.1 since the Windows Store, let not install.

    Now that we have confirmed that it is a driver problem, maybe HP can make it easier on everyone and another not quite if tech saavy and update the driver here. Thank you for your help @Advance23, maybe you can transfer this to the people necessary to get a fix in place.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.

  • Video driver problem - no TV via HDMI connection

    Hello

    Seems that when I upgraded my display driver, whenever I wake up from my laptop from sleep he does not recognize my TV properly - video plays correctly on TV but not audio. Only to restart the laptop the problem (re - insert the cable doesn't help).

    I have install driver:

    I tried reinstalling the driver, did not help.

    Help please

    Hi LOADSTONE007S,

    What is the exact system model? What is the current operating system installed on the system? The issue started after the recent windows updates? What is the exact model of the TV? What version of HDMI cable that you use? Have you tried another HDMI cable? Have you tried to connect to another monitor / TV?

    If the system worked very well before, and then perform a system restore to restore the computer to an older version point where it worked very well - http://bit.ly/1JEw2ov

    Update the BIOS - http://dell.to/1n3X2po - enter the service number and download the BIOS update and restart the machine and check.

    Reinstall the video driver from the vendor's site. Look for the driver model in device-> graphics cards Manager. If you are unable to find the link, send me a photo of graphics cards in Device Manager and I'll provide links to the vendor's site.

    Create a new local administrator account and check - http://bit.ly/1JoFhcw

    In addition, please click my username DELL and write me a private conversation with the service number and your contact information (name and Email) for files.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Having a hard time updating video driver.

    Hi all!

    So, I've been doing reviews of various games that I play my graphics/video driver is outdated and needs an upgrade. I pushed a little this turned off until I could not really play a game that I wanted to because my graphics driver was not able to support it properly. (the game would work, but "read memory" errors would regularly jump upwards)

    So my computer (a Dell Inspiron with Windows 8 (64-bit) and an Intel Core i5 vPro processor) currently has an Intel HD Graphics card 2500, and when I went on their site and contacted the support for some assistance, they recommended an Iris Intel HD Graphics (v.  15.33.14.64.3412) to replace. When I tried to upgrade my current processor (whose version is 9.17.10.2849), he said that the current driver, I had was to update, even if everything else was telling me it was not. To work around this problem, I contacted the person suggested I have uninstall then reinstall (which I did), but the old driver reappeared in its place when I downloaded it (manually in a zip file). After that, I tried to uninstall from a different place (Control Panel, I think), and despite my best efforts, the old processor kept returning. The person has recommended that, because it seemed that my computer was rejecting their driver, I go on the manufacturer's site and see whether there are upgrades.

    What brought me here. I found the recommended drivers, but Intel one seems to be an older version (8 something), but there was an Nvidia card, I thought I'd try to download to see if it helped at all. I tried to download it, but I kept getting an error message which I think was something about not being able to find the appropriate driver tech (I could be wrong, but something she was doing so he could not find a place to install to, I think). So, I'm pretty stuck. My driver obviously needs an update, but I'm completely lost as to what I should do.

    Thank you very much!

    I'm a bit confused with all of this.  Graphics Intel HD 2500 is integrated in the i5 processor.  You should not try to update anything.  You cannot pass your processor unless you physically remove your motherboard and put another in his place.  Still, you shouldn't try to update the drivers of the CPU either.

    Apparently, you have not any dedicated Nvidia or AMD video card then you should not try to install the drivers for it.  2500 HD is not intended to play all games requiring high-end graphics power where you would need a dedicated card.  If you have any questions, play a game as described, then you just buy a video card and install it on your system.

    If you have the Inspiron 660, I would suggest a 7750 HD or a GTX 750 for the games.  They will both work on your power of 300 watts.

  • Video driver issue

    Then, I got a new laptop. It is the Inspiron 15 7547.  I downloaded a game to test and bam is a problem. The game has been Minecraft. The screen flickered. The HUD and options and even whole window started to blink. It happened only with that game so I did some research and it's a broken video driver. Many responses to the problem that I had was to restore the video driver. (The driver is Intel(r) HD Graphics Family) So I did what they said, I rolled back and he gave me the default windows driver. Several questions have been asked and I went to dell support and sought my product see what I download video disc. Here is the link to the Web page

    [link] www.Dell.com/.../drivers [/ link]

    He gave me the option to download the intel one, I did and it gave me the same driver. When I tried to AMD, it did not, more as I didn't know how to do it. I don't know what to so here I ask.

    Also, when I tried to download a driver from the website of intel, he said that it was custom made by Dell, then you should download the drivers for their support.

    If you need more information to see my problem just tell me please, I know that it's just 1 game but I want the PC to work for all sorts of things :)

    Hey Sovano I just got it fixed! : D

    Just go to this site: [View:www.dell.com/.../tagchange]

    Once you get there, enter your express service code (the number on the bottom of your laptop's ten-digit). Then enter your information and click on "Enter Chat." Tell your man to update your driver to the latest version and it should work :)

    I told the representative that I was working with on how most people restore drivers in trouble it but apparently, the computer came with drivers already restored that explains why the bad driver rises when him you are trying to roll back. So yes just tell him upgrade to the latest version and it should work :)

  • DELL, please update AMD video driver

    Hi, Dell.

    My laptop is Dell 3537 with 8850 M graphics from AMD.

    Update the driver for the windows of 8850M AMD 8.1, because the driver on the site is very old and gives a little FPS in games and AMD driver (13.12/13.11) causes problems with the mode 'sleep' and the screen turns off: the screen turns black and does not illuminate.

    I found the solution in an older topic. I couldn't believe that it works. Now I know where is the problem.

    !!! LATEST INTEL DRIVER (10.18.10.3308, A01) VIDEO DOES NOT WORK WITH THE LATEST DRIVER AMD (13.151.0.0, A00) - IT IS A PROBLEM FOR WHICH HD8850M DOES NOT WORK!

    Here are my instructions changed to Perrygogas:

    1. upgrade the BIOS A06.

    2 download (do not install again) drivers for Windows 8.1 DELL (not manufacturers) of the x 2 and x 2 Chipset site are displayed. The ones of the image as an attachment. All the drivers are the latest version expect for the Intel video driver - you have to download the PREVIOUS VERSION (10.18.10.3277, A00), that works perfectly.

    3 uninstall the Intel video driver and all AMD Catalyst software. You can use "Display Driver Uninstaller" in safe MODE - it is really good, simple and free program.

    4 reboot the laptop.

    5. install all the drivers EXCEPT for VIDEO_AMD - the first condition in the picture above.

    6. restart the laptop.

    7. check if the device of AMD is still uninstalled (in programs and features), otherwise proceed to step 3.

    8. install the driver "Video_AMD"... ». This is the driver for AMD Radeon 8800 M and above the first condition in the image.

    9 restart the laptop.

    10. graphic AMD should now work.

  • Don't know which video driver to download for my OptiPlex GX280

    I know that some drivers do not apply because they are for video cards and my GX280 has integrated Intel graphics.  I know not which of the following is to my system:

    915 G Graphics Controller (importance of the pilot is '' recommended '')
     
    or

    Are these two different things?  If so, then my OptiPlex has both?
     
    Thank you.

    The graphics controller is a component in the chipset; the driver is installed separately from the rest of the chipset software.

    The error message "cannot play the DVD because it is not possible to activate the analog copy on the output screen protection', you may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    * Your DVD decoding software must be configured. If you have another DVD player program installed on your computer, read the DVD using this program and then try to play the DVD in Windows Media Player.

    * There is a problem with your video card configuration. Restart your computer, and then try again. If the error is not resolved, you may need to install a driver available for your video card.

    To determine if there is a newer driver for your video card, perform one of the following:

    o open Windows Update by clicking Start and then all programs.

    Check for any updated driver for your video card. If found, try updating the video drivers.

    o visit your computer or video card manufacturer's Web site.

    See the Microsoft article below for more information on updating drivers: update drivers: recommended links

    For your information:

    A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

  • Video driver Windows 2008 R2

    I read the articles, that is to say http://www.Boche.net/blog/index.php/2010/03/28/Windows-2008-R2-and-Windows-7-on-vSphere/ , on VMware Tools now including a video driver to work for 2 k 8 R2.  I'm under ESXi 4 U1 with all the patches, but when I install a new virtual machine that is running R2 and install VMware Tools, I don't see the folder C:\Program VMware Tools\Drivers\wddm_video that I can upgrade the driver to.  In fact, I see not all records related to drivers.  What Miss me?  Is there any place I can download the drivers from outside VMware tools?

    Hello.

    I don't see the folder C:\Program VMware Tools\Drivers\wddm_video can I upgrade the driver to.

    This is the wrong path.  It is located in "C:\Program Files\Fichiers Files\VMware\Drivers\wddm_video"

    Good luck!
