Strange graphic issues T400

Hi guys,.

I had this ongoing problem with the video card in my T400 intel. Whenever I use, after about an hour or two of use heavy; or if im doing heavy multitasking, the screen starts to develop these weird lines and artifacts. As soon as I reduce windows however, the objects disappear. The same problem happened on the ATI card. I've already sent in lenovo once, and they very kindly took a quick glance and replaced the controller card. He still goes well. Any ideas?

  • Vidock 2 ATI HD4670 working with switchable graphic version T400/500 w?

    this review , it seems clear the US $379 Vidock 2 with the desktop ATI Radeon HD 4670 card will work fine with an integrated graphics card only T400 running Windows 7.

    But not the restriction of Vista to require that the display driver even if there are several graphics cards, see here , means that it would be possible to use Vidock 2 with a dedicated graphics processor (IE with switchable graphics architecture) T400/500 under Windows 7?

    I know that in this case Vista would not support multiple monitors, but would it be possible to turn off the laptop LCD (Fn + F7 optionally?) to get the DVI monitor, attached to the Vidock 2 in turn connected through the ExpressCard to work properly under Vista? It should turn off switchable graphics in the Bios?

    The answers would be the same for the 4 Vidock with the ATI Radeon HD 4890 which is supposed to deliver this month?

    Vista restricting to a single driver of unique software for several graphics cards is filled for a 2 Vidock attached to my T500 because the ATI Catalyst driver is the same for HD 3650, HD 4670 and HD 4890. Worst case may be to define discrete graphics option (only) in the Bios. With same hopefully switchable graphics would work, starting with the built-in switchable graphics 9.5 ATI Catalyst in their vanilla desktop drivers.

  • R400/T400/T500/W500: Switchable graphics issues with Win 7

    Based on the experiences of the wire on switchable Vista graphics driver issues, I here starts a new switchable graphics related to Windows 7 (any SKU) records. Please keep the Center wire and clean up your language. IE: problems related to the XP or Vista are not the subject here.

    I made the switch to Win 7 64 and so far, it is an improvement in the "switchable graphics" - zone. But I have seen some issues:

    • Energy consumption is much higher than under Vista 32. It seems related to a problem in the management of the switching power of graphics adapters: see the thread by roteiro.
    • On my external display of Dell, I sometimes watch "pixel noise". In certain areas of the screen pixels flickering in different colors.
    • Could be related: hang after the release of the standby mode

  • T400 with switchable graphics and ATI graphic issue Windows 7

    Hi all

    I wonder if someone found work drivers to switch between integration and the ATI graphics we.  The problem I have is that I installed once the drivers for Windows 7 Beta and it worked well, except that I do not have screens on for brightness and press mute do not work (although the volume keys worked)

    Now, after you install an update for the ATI driver, I got the poster on the screen and the button mute to work, but I can't change the brightness when using the ATI graphics card. ATI has a beta version for the operating system win 7 on their site, but later, they can do they recommend to go to the site of the manufacturer of the laptop.

    On the site, I downloaded all the possible drivers without success (and once I got a blank screen after loading windows... I had to boot into safe mode and remove all the ATI drivers for the view at the beginning upward) so I use now on the integrated graphics card and it works fine but if I switch to the ATI I run the risk of not being able to change the brightness but also not being able to return to the integrated graphics card (he told me to close all 3d applications and video before moving on when it there) was nothing to open)

    Everyone knows a problem similar to mine? I ran out of options on the lenovo site, so I don't know what to do now. New drivers any time soon?

    Fixed a problem!

    The BIOS update was necessary. Now I got it all work! I was wondering if it might affect when I saw earlier. I got it. Thanks for all the help.

    Now, I'm trying to solve the problem of Win 7 explorer.exe suspended due to a 3.9 GB tif file...

    Hello

    You can try to install or update the graphics driver.
    It would be useful that the issue would be linked to the defective display driver.
    But it's more because of the graphics chip.
    In this case the update of the driver will not help you, but only one replacement of the mother figure/card chip. :(

  • Waveform behavior of strange graphics update

    I have a strange problem with a waveform graph in a VI in LabVIEW 8.5.  For some reason when our diagram must autoscale the y-axis, all of the graph will redraw.  This causes a noticeable delay and is visibly distracting. At first, we thought it was a problem with the style of point, as we see only this question in our application by using a style that uses individual points for each data point, rather than connecting the dots with lines.

    To test, I made a sample VI to ensure that he was not a problem of performance with any of our other codes and slipped and fell the graph of our application in a new VI.  I made a simple pattern that simulates the data written on the chalkboard.  I was a little relieved when I saw the same problem because it made me think that it wasn't our code that was the issue.

    Then, on a whim, I decided to replace it with a 'new' waveform graph.  After you set up a certain number of things, I tried to reproduce the behavior, and I can't!  I tried to make the two graphs as identical as possible through all the settings, but I can't understand why it is shown the repainting issue, while the other does not.

    I have included the two screws, and I'd love to know if others see the problem, and if anyone has an idea as to what is the cause.  To see what I mean, turn the knobs Amplitude and prejudice to force the chart to repaint.  GraphUpdateTest.vi will NOT show a problem, while GraphUpdateTest2.vi will be.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi all

    Old nc8430 running Win7 suddenly my daughter started acting weird and the display of the lines of color and distorted pixels:

    I plugged a monitor external and here is the result:

    The graphics card is dead? I think it is shipped the motherboard so replace is not an option. (The cost would be the same as the purchase of a new laptop). Is there something I could do to try to fix?

    Thank you for your time.

  • Vostro 3550 graphics issues on Windows 8

    I downloaded and installed Windows 8 on my laptop Vostro 3550 (dual boot with Win7 Pro x 64 original). It would go as far as "Installing devices" and then the screen turns off. After several failed attempts (> 10) (woluld screen off but would continue to the HD activity), I went on the Win8 forums and found a few others having the same problem. Someone suggested using an external monitor and verification. Once I installed the monitor, I found that the Win 8, installed correctly, but no could not recognize the internal display. Everything works fine in Win8, except that she does not confess the internal display. So I installed video drivers Win7 from Dell, still no change. Update of said Win8 then there is new video drivers Intel it installed with no improvement. Works with the external monitor, but doesn't detect internal monitor. I'm not sure whether video driver issue or something to do with the chipset drivers. Pretty Win8 works fine on an old laptop HP Pavillion 5200 as well as one on an Intel assembled card mother Core2 Quad desktop with ATI graphics card. My Vostro config is Win7 Pro x 64, 8 GB of RAM, 320 7200 RPM HD, Intel HD3000 graphics card.

    Can someone help me with this problem.

    Thank you

    A11 BIOS is the fix for this problem. A11 BIOS fixes black screen on Windows 8 (after installation).

  • Question of ' system cannot activate the graphics performance "T400

    Hi all

    I have a ThinkPad T400 with Switchable Graphics, running Windows 7 x 64, with the latest drivers provided by Lenovo.  I tried to go to the ATI graphics card today for the first time in a little and got a message "system cannot activate the graphics performance", invites me to disable all external video connections or disable all graphics applications.

    The problem is, I don't have any open application.  I disabled several startup programs, uninstalled VMWare Workstation and tried several services, I thought that might interfere with the manual - still no luck switching.  I'll reinstall the driver, but in the meantime, anyone have any ideas, or find a resident program that tempt me not not to be able to switch from Intel for the ATI graphics card?

    I believe that after checking the system logs, the error was somewhere in libraries Visual C++ Runtime. I decided at this point, that the question was too difficult to follow and with Service Pack 1 available, I saved and reloaded. Problem solved.

  • PS CS6 and Windows 8 graphics issues

    Hello!

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Windows 8 Pro and I've noticed a few graphic problems in CS6. The flickering background, the image turns black, etc. After a little searching I found others who also had the issue. (Here and here). I also read the blog post by

    Hi Linda,.

    Yes this is all related to driver problems with the fall of ATI 12.10 and impacts Psalm in opting for the basic mode, color management is managed on the CPU, and you may see an impact on performance with OpenGL rendering (3D on-screen interaction, I think requires the Normal parameter or advanced).

  • Strange graphics in oats version 9.2

    Hi all

    Is it possible to change the precision and the scale of graphics in oats 9.2?

    Most of them seem to be in a whole of cut scale, which is rather strange. I can't change the scale to be... And choosing 'Performance (trans/min)' by default is a 0-100 y axis dry (!), which cannot be changed. Not very useful.

    Axel

    Sorry for the late reply. It seems local evolution of the window does not change the locale by default for the rest. To do this, you will need to go into the registry and change a key from the command line. This will force your locale by default for the suite to be English at all times. Please note that there is a work around and you must proceed with caution and keep the original settings.

    Steps to follow:
    1. open the registry editor. (-> Goto Run type regedit )
    2 Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SYSTEM-> CurrentControlSet-> Services-> Oracle Application Testing Service Application Suite-> settings
    3. right click on settings and click on export to perform a backup.
    4. double-click on the CmdLine key and copy the value data somewhere safe (to be on the safe side).
    5. the key value must be ending by:

    -Djava.Security.policy="C:\ORACLE~1\wls\wlserver\server\lib\weblogic.policy"weblogic. Server

    6. Add the key of -Duser.language = en - Duser.country = US just before weblogic. Server
    7. Finally, the key value must be ending by:

    -Djava.Security.policy="C:\ORACLE~1\wls\wlserver\server\lib\weblogic.policy '-Duser.language = en - US weblogic = Duser.country.» Server

    Hope this has solved your problem.

    Note: 'user' and 'language' are separated by a PERIOD, not a COMMA. Looks like a COMMA in the above quoted string. It goes the same for 'user' and 'country '. So many point/comma, :) problems.

  • MacBook Pro repair for graphics issues outreach program

    Hi, my Macbook Pro Late 2011 was knocked down in a little water, but my friend helped me fix it. He now works in good condition, but the chart doesn't work well when my Macbook has been upgraded to Mac OS X Mavericks. As I know that the model of Macbook pro end of 2011 had the graphics problem, I wonder about the service of repair for videos cause program, my Macbook Pro is still to be accepted to the free repair or I have to pay the money to repair and how much? Thank you

    I'm afraid that by pouring water into the computer then take it apart and fixing it you have cancelled the guarantee and any other Apple support. They will not fix the video problem for you. You are free to ask your local store of Apple or a service center if they will fix it for you and what will be the cost. The first sentence is the warranty policy.

  • Satellite C55-B5170 - graphics issue when you play

    Hello

    I recently bought my Satellite (C55-B5170) and started to install applications of my previous laptop. However, when I went to try to play a game, I found that the graphics have been pixelated/blocks. This happened with almost all of the games I've tried. All my drivers are up to date, and I have not seen this problem on another thread.

    Thank you!

    EDIT: Minecraft, a game quite simply, is broken (similar to the image provided). However, the Lego game worlds newly released works very well.

    All of your games is designed for Win8/Win8.1?

  • satellite p20 552: graphics issue

    Toshiba satellite p20 552 (again, out of the box)

    When the 32-bit value (color) the cursor placed blue around her (in a 2 x 2 cm square) when vertical stripes on a white surface (e.g. in Solution Explorer).
    This behavior goes away when the 16-bit value.

    The graphics card is a GeForce FX Go5700.
    Does anyone know this problem or to answer this?
    Thank you.

    Moreover, when the pc goes into sleep mode (power or management when the lcd screen is closed) and when trying to restart, it didn't swithch on the LCD screen, but there is some activity on the disk and the fan works. After some time it stops. To restart, a windows error message.

    HI khadija.

    you wrote your p20's new ad out of the box, then you use the operating system preinstalled Toshiba, not you?

    You can try to reinstall the graphics driver (Toshiba Tools & Utilities CD or you go in https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - Driver download and choose your machine). Compare the two driver versions ad install the newest one!

    What resolution do you use?

    Your secod problem can be solved if you check your settings in the Toshiba Power Saver. Perhaps, you set its default value. If this does not resolve the problem, you must reinstall the energy saver!

    Tip: You can also use the Mode shows up. This mode stops the laptop and the power is off. At the next startup mode will point load of a hard disk image and you can work! It is faster that normal startup, and all power is off in Hibernation mode.

  • NB100 and graphics issues in Vista and Windows 7

    Hi all.

    I have two NB100s and I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7. Everything went well until what the graphics driver has been loaded. Responses of the screen were as refresh once per second 5, then also the system froze for a few seconds - impossible to work on it. The case even on the two NB100s and even with the new drivers from Windows update. I'm curious to know what is the problem, because a lot of guys have written that they are running windows 7 and everyting is ok right after installation. I tried Windows Vista and the same situation has occurred. The only way I can use it with Windows 7 is to use the XP drivers. But then the aero glass does not. I just got idea if there is no problem with the new bios 1.6. It seems that other older guys NB100 and use Windows 7. Could someone help me? Has anyone tried Windows 7 with bios 1.6? THX.

    Hello!

    I think the problem is that you are using a beta version of the operating system and not a final version and these errors are normal because nobody can say that Windows 7 beta runs perfectly and without problems on all laptops or computers.

    However, see the Intel Web site for the latest drivers. Perhaps there is a newer version than on the Windows Update Web site.

    Good bye
