• Windows driver 8 - switchable graphics problem

  Hello

  I installed Windows 8 RTM Enterprise (trial) on my laptop HP G62 B13SL . It has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 and an Intel's HD Graphics (Core i3, first generation).

  I installed the driver ATI Catalyst 12.8 (with Win8 compatibility). During the installation of 'ATI video driver', the screen went black (no light).

  So, I put the laptop to sleep and then I awake, and the screen worked again.

  I also installed the official Intel HD graphics driver from the HP website (ver. ( 8.15.10.2189), because the Intel.com driver gives an error when I run the installation program.

  Please help me!

  Notes/Info:

  1. If I open the Catalyst Control Center , I get an error of the AMD driver.
  2. In 'Device Manager', there are two generic screens instead of one.
  3. There is no option to change the map.

  Hello

  For your switchable graphics work correctly, the ATI and Intel drivers must be installed using the package AMD - install the drivers individually will not work.  The simplest option is to wait for HP to publish an updated for Windows 8 AMD software package.

  There is a work around you can use (also popular with people running Windows 7, who wanted to just past combinations switchable graphics driver for graphic models) - see link below.  If you want to try this, make sure to save all your data first just in case where.  This method is not supported by HP, so if you want to try it, it will be at your own risk.

  http://leshcatlabs.NET/index.php/2012/08/catalyst-12-8-WHQL-unifl-for-atiintel-graphics/

  Before trying this, I suggest strongly that read you the Manual to get an idea of how it works.

  The main points to be aware of this method are:

  * Driver signature enforcement will be disabled to allow unsigned drivers to load.

  * You pouvez obtain a "Test Mode" watermark in the bottom right of your desktop.

  If your happy with it (I have personally run Windows 8 with these drivers without problem), at least he can bridge the gap until HP version updated drivers.

  Kind regards

  When I tried the driver 64 bit windows 7 for GRAPHIC CARD, ATI (compatibility mode) the screen goes black and the crash. (restart windows).

  Hope that this problem will be resolved by the HP SUPPORT by upgrading the DRIVER of MAP CHART because it won't work on WIN 8 64 bit!

• 4730 proBook s switchable graphics problem

  Hello all and sorry for my English not very good, but I hope you understand

  I have a laptop HP ProBook 4730 s with graphics switchable. I can't the CCC to run, so im stuck on intel HD graphics. I had the same problems with CCC, but I always managed to solve (reinstall the drivers/windows etc.), but not now.

  I did the things so far:

  -Fully formatted: C partition on my HARD drive and installed new windows 7 on

  -Remove all drivers with driver Sweeper, AMD uninstaller, repaired and cleaned with CCleaner registry

  -Updated the newer BIOS

  -Beta drivers installed for ATI

  -Tried to disable the INTEL graphics card in Device Manager, disable switchable graphics in the BIOS

  Sometimes, the CCC doesn't even start (it's in the Manager of tasks under process), sometimes to give me error CCC, CLI or MOM. If I disable switchable graphics in the bios, I find myself in VGA (odd resolution) mode, if I disable ATI or INTEL in Device Manager, I also find myself with weird resolution...

  My computer specs are:

  Intel i5 (2.4 gHz) processor

  700 GB HARD drive

  4 GB of RAM

  Intel HD graphics and AMD Radeon HD 6490 M 1 GB

  Windows 7 enterprise (64-bit)

• HP pavilion m6 1010ex switchable graphics problem

  Hi all!

  I had this problem for a while, I can't use my amd graphic card. When I install the driver and restart my computer the result is a Disconnections (atikmadag.sys). I tried many drivers of old news, but has not seemed to work. I even formatted my laptop and install a new copy of windows, however it always result in the same problem. Is my current windows 8.1 but the same used to get to 8 and 7. To prevent the Disconnections, I entered the mode without fail and then to Device Manager and disabled the amd graphics card. But I still want the amd graphics card to work.  Several times I tried unistalling the intell and amd then install intel everything first and then amd but it always leads to the same problem. I posted my problem several times but no one seemed to help. As experts online today I hope that this problem can be solved.

  Hello and thank you for your answer

  My bios is updated. Also is it a hardware failure can would you by any chance know if it is possible to buy a new graphics driver and replace it with the default one.

• Switchable Graphics (AMD Radeon HD 7670) problem in Hp Pavilion g6 2305tx-windows 8.1

  Hello

  I would like to draw your kind attension to this serious problem, which I do face with AMD Mobility Radeon HD7670 driver for windows 8.1

  I use Hp pavilion 2305tx g6 that has double graphics. I bought it 6 months ago and it cost about 60 grand in Bangladesh.

  I was using Windows 7 and everything was fine. I could play every game I want, but after upgrade to 8.1 window, I am facing this switchable graphics problem. Device manager shows that driver was installed correctly but when I go to high performance for any game, it (game) is not responding but game can start without any problem in IE graphics Intel HD 4000 I cannot use my dedicated graphics card which I bought this laptop!

  Here too, no driver to blueooth. Specifically the driver Ralink RT 3290 Bluetooth. I found the driver for this hardware, but not suitable for windows 8.1. Okey BT is not a big problem, but what about the graphics driver? What is Hp? sleep? Where the drivers updated for Windows 8.1? How long I have to wait? As I brought it BDT 60 grand I have right to ask for updated driver and I want to that they as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Again, I chart AMD Radeon HD 7670 in my laptop and driver is correctly installed, but every time I spend my graphics to high performance I cann't play any game. It's because I'm not have good drivers for Windows 64-bit os 8.1.

  I've been looking for this driver for months, but I don't get a updated driver for AMD mobility radeon 7670.

  Please, I beg you! publish drivers for windows 8.1 updated 64-bit os.

  The problem is resolved. It took 6 months but in the end I finally thought to her

  Follow the steps precisely

  1. open this Pc or workstation then go to uninstall or change a program

  2 appears in the list, you can see graphics driver Intel & AMD Catalyst install manager. You must uninstall both in express mode so that no other previous parameter no longer exists.

  3. Firstly, uninstall the Intel Graphics driver. If you are asked for a restart of the pc to go for it.

  4. that the list appears, you can see AMD Catalyst install manager, right click and uninstall in express mode. Uninstall all components of AMD. Restart your PC because you will be asked.

  5. go on this Pc or my PC and then drive C. open Program Files and Program Files (x 86) the two of them, if you use the 64-bit operating system. In the search box write AMD and you find some removal files remaining them all.

  6. now your PC is free of previous records and other files. Although the right, click on sign Windows and Device Manager. You'll see graphic cards and uninstall both. This step is not necessary, but just to be sure that your PC has not previously installed drivers.

  7. open your browser and download the latest graphics driver for your PC Intel. My driver was Win64_153322. Install it. If you install it correctly you're at half way through. Restart your PC, if she needs.

  8 go to the AMD web site and download the latest version of the driver. To avoid the complexity best option is to download Autodetect. Because he will choose the best suitable driver for your system. The file name is amddriverdownloader.

  9. open the amddriverdownloader file and download the driver. Download will end and it will automatically start the installation. Install it in express mode. Restart your PC because you will be asked to do.

  10. I hope your driver problems will be solved. To check it out go to Device Manager and see if the drivers are installed properly. Turn on the CCC and try to play a game of High Performance. You will see that the problem is solved.

  Here's how I solved my problem of graphics from AMD. I've been suffering since I installed Windows 8.1 right after being released and today 15 Jun 14, I solved the problem. I can play any game in now high performance.

  If you think that my opinion is useful to you, please share it.

  Hello:

  There is no graphics card AMD switchable for my model, even with a BIOS update.  That is right.

  Or is it still be grayed out as in the current state.  That is right. An update of the BIOS will do nothing to allow you to change the graphic memory settings.  Everything will be grayed out as before.

  So if I overload a game settings, from the middle to the extreme, this means that most of the 3 GB memory graphics will be allocated to catch the game? Or even will not use the 737 MB dedicated?   The laptop will initially use all the dedicated memory.  If that wasn't enough, he will then consume the maximum (2.4 GB) memory system available and put it to the chart.

• How to update the switchable graphics drivers and Dungeon 'switching' work?

  Hi guys,.

  I recently installed the new drivers by AMD (v.13.1) on my laptop HP Pavilion dv6-3060ej (Windows 7 64-bit), which uses the Intel HD Graphics and AMD Radeon HD5650 switchable graphics.

  The fact is that I met a few rendering problems on the latest 12.6 which supported my graphics and allowed soft switching between them. Version 13.1 solved my problems of rendering, but another question - it simply does not recognize my graphics card so that it installs only some of its features and leave the Catalyst Control Center features so I can't pass my graphics cards. I even tried to leave the latest CCC, but it comes with an error message.

  To summarize, my strongest Radeon HD5650 graphics card works well but I cannot switch to the Intel's HD to save the life of the battery.

  Any thoughts? Thanks a lot for your help

  Hello IBINATOR.  I appreciate that you try to upgrade your Radeon (with drivers AMD) graphics while keeping the switchable graphics in a working state.  Is this correct?

  This is workaround only to your question and you must have the game, Steam client, installed.  The HP driver for your graphics card contains a driver for the card from AMD, the Intel card and switchable graphics framework.  You can then use the game client, steam (through a partnership with AMD), to update the part switchable graphics system AMD while keeping graphics intact.

  1. Remove your current AMD drivers using this utility and restart your laptop.
  2. Download the latest version of the drivers from HP.  Here is a link.
  3. Install the driver and reboot again.
  4. Follow the steps in this thread to use steam to update the graphics driver.
  5. Restart one last time and check if the problem is resolved.

  Let me know the result.  In addition, have a wonderful day!

• Switchable graphics in Windows 8?

  Hello (please forgive my English waste ).

  I recently bought and installed windows 8.

  The transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8 was smooth and relatively flawless, but I have a question:

  My computer (HP Pavilion dv6) has 2 graphics cards, one to save the battery (family AMD graphics card) and the other for games and other (something AMD radeon HD graphics card), but given some of the games I ran smoothly at a framerate high on the old operating system runs badly with a very low framerate, I don't think it changes the graphic card it uses. I downloaded and installed an updated for the 'gaming' graphics card driver

  Is it possible to make it again change? I want to say that I can do at the moment?

  Thanks in advance,

  Tarjei Graesdal

• Update: problem HP 4540 graphic s AMD Radeon HD M 7650

  Update (September 23)

  Understood graphic will only switch when the AC is plugged on and laptops running on battery. While the battery is in the ac is plugged in, it won't switch. (AC in + battery or.)

  How does it eat for only on battery + after closing the game-> blue screen come to 100%.

  (I don't know he's trying to return to the HD 7650 and somehow, it does not support.)

  _________________________

  Hi there, hope you guys can understand something... so far, I have tried everything to my knowledge.
  
  First the Specs:
  
  HP ProBook 4540 s (C5E12ES), 15.6 ", Core i5 - 3210M 2 x 2.50 GHz, 6 GB, 750 GB, AMD Radeon HD 7650 M 2 GB

  (integrated HD 4000) (pre - install OS > SUSE 11)
  
  Current OS: Win 7 Professional 64-bit
  
  Problem:
  
  Installed in almost all of the drivers that were available here:
  
  http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?lang=en & CC = US & TaskID = 135 & prodTypeId...

  (ofc. for w7 64-bit; and they claim to work)
  
  But he never passed to the Radeon HD 7650 M no matter what I attributed to the AMD Catalyst (High Performance) + energy Max Power Mode (also checked the option all have been set for maximum power).

  So, basically, the problem is that the discrete Radeon HD 7650 M graphics card is never available. I tried to disable in the BIOS "Switchable Graphics" Mode > causes only that the HD 7650 M is not yet visible in the Manager of hardware + not available + catalyst shows that it is working properly. (+ there is no Option that worked to manually assign the gpu)

  Given that the system must be a switchable dynamic AMD chart , I can not even download other drivers than those offered by HP (won't work of course...).

  > > In games only the HD 4000 is visible (even when the 7650M is completely disabled games and videos run with HD 4000 > > who said so far only one has been used (I wanted to clarify that since some think that the HD 4000 is supported "in the background" by the discrete gpu-> is not!))

  There there no driver to manage the 7650M atm? As far as I read Sony handled somehow this problem for their products with the material mentioned above. Also tried to remove all the drivers and installation only AMD (not a good idea... no drivers of Intel HD nothing worked - well, since only this integrated gpu was his work so far).

  Oh almost forgot... the BIOS preinstalled is somehow a newer version than that offered on the section driver for hp 4540 s:

  BIOS version: 68IRR worm. F.02, 27.07.2012

  SMBIOS: 2.7

  So useful I can provide screenshots. (Side-Note: Notebook was released as this month, I guess).

  Thanks for any help/advice in advance.

  Maybe useful references:

  http://www.manualowl.com/m/Hewlett-Packard/ProBook-4540s/manual/277780?page=39

  (only page 39)

  Probably useless Info:
  Tested the system also with 3d-mark-11 > preset he advances to 'High Performance' (in the catalyst) I was surprised how the test is run (results looked like 10-20-times "less" than the average same gpu (7650M) < also it was the first time I saw a program used the discreet gpu.)

  > "Message:"... the graphics driver was not accepted. I can assure you that.

  What also bothers me is the fact that some hardware probably 4000HD Intel is really buring stable around 122-130 ° C (even if the laptop is not hot at all - maybe that the sensors are nuts...)

  

  Switching problem SOLVED!

  Because it works battery with the graphics mode I again probably energy options that can interfere - checked all and found one that blocked the graphics of switching:

  > Click on the stack > energy Options (for the regime) > improved energy options > check all entries there are 3 that may conflict with the power:

  > Set the switchable dynamic graphics for battery and ac automatic
  > Set the gpu power plan intel for performance max ac (or both - if you want to)
  > Set the ATI Powerplay - Options for optimal performance / max
  
  ! Also check that you have set the application/game to HIGH Performance in your
  Catalyst Control Center (+ do not turn off the Power Play Option in Catalyst Control Center)

  (+ do not forget after passage of balanced high-power or energy saving these entries must be defined as well)

  ↑ graphic will pass!

  ! Rest, the computer will always be bluescreen then (maybe this can also be solved by playing with the Options of energy.

  ! Also remember that applications/games will still show that you can select the HD 4000 only, but will switch discrete gpu (7650M HD). More FPS + better graphics that will prove also.
  

  Screens to make it easier to understand:

  

  

  

  

• AMD Radeon HD/Intel switchable graphics

  Hello

  Since I upgraded to window 10 I can't use my AMD Radeon hd graphics card.

  and I have not choice on most catalyst to switch from one card to the other, what I can do, basically my computer run only on intel HD graphics card, without any open gl, no games more...

  Thank you

  I have a hp dv7

  HP Pavilion dv7 - 6B 00 series

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the situation is that you should not do the upgrade of Win10.  Their upgrade tool has done a really poor job of detecting switchable graphics before the updrade, and as a result, people like you end up with machines that are no longer fully functional.  Same thing happened to me.

  With switchable graphics, the only work pilots come from OEM making machines, because the material is suitable, so having to be engines.  MS does not supply these drivers any more than the video card manufacturers.

  So, without driver HP Win10 for your PC, you're stuck with only two results:

  (1) keep Win10 and faced with the problem of graphs

  (2) to return your PC to the original operating system.

  I chose the second because I prefer a PC with an OS more old where everything worked, to a PC with a new operating system, where things don't work.

• Preview of Windows 8 consumers: AMD Switchable Graphics - Unswitchable

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6004tx laptop and I recently upgraded to the consumer preview Windows 8 (Build 8250). I wish that some troubleshooting those who have / are affected by this and may have found a way around it.

  Insofar as the specifications of my computer is:

  Intel Core i7-2720QM

  6 GB DDR3 RAM

  64-bit operating system

  AMD Radeon HD 6700M

  Family of Intel graphics

  The problem in my display drivers. Some of you may also have a Switchable Graphics feature that is installed in your computer. But for those who do not, basically, what it is is a feature that allows to switch the display adapter to a GPU to save energy to a GPU performance and vice versa.

  In my case, as you can see above, the GPU performance is the Radeon 6700 M, while the GPU to save energy is the integrated Intel one. My problem with not being able to switch back and forth, as if I was able to come back on Windows 7. As it is a feature of AMD Catalyst Control Center, I searched their site and they actually have a version of supported driver for Windows 8 CP, although still in beta and sometimes glitch.

  http://support.AMD.com/us/KbArticles/pages/Windows8ConsumerPreviewDrivers.aspx

  (As you can see, my model: AMD Radeon HD 6000 M Series is listed)

  I rebooted after installing the control center, and a popup notifcation tells me that:

  "The Catalyst Control Center is not supported by the version of the driver for your compatible graphics card. Please update your graphics driver from AMD, or activate your card AMD using the display manager. »

  I found this curious at first, my model was clearly indicated. But after an inference, I realized that my computer needs to run on the Intel integrated graphics by default. This has been further strengthened when I tried to play a few games and other applications (it would be a bit rough - also experienced before when I forgot to switch on GPU performance).

  The graphics card AMD Radeon used to have a mistake (the unit does not start. Code: 10) in the Manager of devices, but with a new installation of the driver got to AMD, it seems to work very well. However, my computer is still using the default Intel card, and I have no way to switch to the other GPU as catalyst will not start.
  
  Has anyone found a way around this?

  I'll give you a way to make it work!  He has listed there so many incompatibilities with the FIRST METHOD , you will not get use an Intel (less power consumption card) GPU to work after the changes! You have to wait until HP allows him to work properly or deal with the thirst for energy GPU AMD even in battery mode.

  THE SECOND METHOD listed works without any problems with the compatibility of all the apps BUT it IS demand the pace and order (can be comprehensive for beginners, no worries listed below has got all the information you need to make it work)

  IF the first option:

  NOTE: THIS WILL TRIGER OUTCONTROL EVENTS SO AS A PRECAUTION METHODS I RECOMMEND IN ADDITION AS WE GO STEP BY STEP _ DOWNLOAD CHROME IF RUNNING INTERNET EXPLORE (GRAPHICS CARD WORKS WITH THE GAMES BUT NOT WITH APPLICATIONS METRO THEY WON'T CRASH NOT JUST SE NOT LAUNCH)

  ALL METHODS BELOW TESTED BY MYSELF AND HAVE WORKED YET MUCH INCOMPATIBILIES WILL ALWAYS USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

  I know all the games work properly battlefield 3 is yet to launch

  1 AT first make sure that windows UPDATE IS SWITCH OFF or let you choose to download and install (not automatically or it will update your device (in Device Manager) without your permission and all efforts are gone!

  2 uninstall AMD Catalyst "program and components" in Control Panel, and then uninstall all Intel and AMD devices in Device Manager in the control panel (unistal check pilot to pilot intel HD)

  3.reboot! After the restart, download this http://www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/win8/amd_catalyst_win8_consumer_preview _ [rc10] .exe

  and this

  ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53025.exe - 300 MB

  4. install sp53025.exe in windows compatibility mode 7 (it will unpack in C:/SWsetup by default)

  then start the istalation make sure that u choose a "custom", THIS IS CRUCIAL - uncheck the CATALYST (check all the rest intell driver amd driver ect.) do not restart after the instalation

  5. then start the instalation of windows 8 consumer driver overview of AMD.

  Uncheck everything (after that the sp53025 it will be only the AMD (check/uncheck) driver and catalyst box (check/uncheck) available) uncheck the AMD driver and install the driver CATALYST only!

  Reset! Enjoy! There is no CATALYST (only preference of intel and the settings where the CATALYST should be) click the mouse but switchable graphics is now awailable LIKE THIS

  Unfortunately you won't be available to choose between the INTEL and AMD! AMD now works by default

  All the .exe now recognizes 6770 m

  AND METRO APPS WON ' T WORK! AS internet explore will crash as you will open it

  SECOND METHOD, IF THE FIRST FAILS (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IF THE HANDS ARE MORE OR LESS STRAIGHT)

  IS PROVEN!

  THIS METHOD EXCLUDES THE SUBWAY APPS CRASH AND ALL INCOMPATIBILITIES REST WITH ALL PROGRAMS EXECUTABLES AND GAMES!

  Note: Requires knowledge to sign your own drivers, disable the application to start signing and modding some inf files.
  I am not responsible for any damages that may occur. This guide is not exhaustive.
  
  Requirements:

  • .NET framework 3.5 - can be activated in Windows 8, in "Turn Windows features on or off".
  • Windows Driver Kit (WDK) - Can be downloaded from here
  • Configure Windows Update to only "download updates but let me choose weather to install' and hide updates from Intel and AMD. This is to prevent our updated driver by Windows.

  
  1. download the latest switchable graphics drivers from this site: leshcat IT blog tips & tricks: catalyst 12.3 Pre-WHQL UNIFIL for Switchable Graphics

  2. run the Setup program that will extract the content of the file, by default it will ask you to turn off "Signature enforcement of Windows", you will know that it does not work after restarting as a "Test Mode" watermark is added to the desktop, "Windows 8 preview of consumption."
  
  3. at this moment, do not run Setup AMD yet. We need to modify some files. By default, the driver will be extracted for "C:\Drivers\Catalyst 12.3 Pre - WHQL UNIFIL".
  
  4. go to this directory and open the file after "Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\C7133662.inf".
  
  Make the following changes:
  In the [Version] section, add:
