• 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
  
  

• Switchable graphics after installing new window. No ATI driver on the site of HP for Pavilion dm4 1140EZ

  Hello

  I had a problem with the black screen after logo window at startup. To solve it, I installed fresh windows 7 on my laptop Pavilion dm4 1140EZ. My laptop has Intel HD and ATI mobility Radeon 5000 graphics cards. On the HP site I downloaded the driver for Intel, but it lacked ATI driver for my product.  I went to the AMD site and downloaded catalyst control + driver for my ATI card but Intel graphics stops working correctly and graphic ATI did not work as well as on the Device Manager it has shown the device is functioning properly.

  After uninstall of Catalyst Manager Intel graphic it was OK. How should I me switchable graphics? My laptop is warming further than it used to be I think may be due to works on Intel graphics only the video quality is very bad. Kindly help me to install progressively switchable graphics.

  You can use the recovery media to reinstall the graphics driver AMD. Never install the Catalyst Control Center and the AMD driver. The graphics driver for a laptop with switchable graphics is specially coded to provide this functionality. Do not install the Intel driver separately because it would cause the feature switchable graphics to stop working. AMD owns ATI.

  

  Find the graphics card AMD driver software, click in the box to the left and then click on install.

  

• Switchable Graphics and ATI Graphics Driver disappear (BIOS update)

  Then the other day, that HP has insisted on the behaviour of one of its annoying BIOS updates on my Pavilion dv7.

  Before the update, I was able switchable graphics and could pass the ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 something the 5650 (I'm sure I have these numbers). in any case, now, a few days after the update (which I believe I installed on 19 January), I noticed that my switchable graphics options have disappeared, as well as my option driver ATI Mobility Radeon 5650... large. So now games graphics look significantly bad and slow because I can't spend to the best driver. Thanks, HP.

  So, the question is how to get back my switchable graphics and other driver? I was looking around and found some - related posts that can be useful for people who seek to answer this question, but aren't really help me:

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/Lenovo-IBM/392522-how-regain-switchable-graphics-W500.html

  If you answer this, please try to keep it in easy English and avoid a lot of abbreviations, I won't understand. Just consider me like a fool when it comes to installing and uninstalling the drivers and try to make simple instructions. Thank you very much!

  Hey man, idk if you are still working on it, but I have the solution.  Basically, HP has two updates for each laptop model; one for laptops with integrated graphics card only and another for laptops with switchable graphics.  Unfortunately, the driver for laptop with integrated graphics card only has been the default driver in this update.  Instead of trying to reinstall the older driver, just install the new correct driver.  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. go on http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

  2. the website can automatically detect what dv7 you have.  Just click on the button "start detection".  It will ask you to download something, but its ok.  Do it.  Then just click on 'continue' and let it detect your system.

  3. There should be a screen that has 'Detected list of products' on him.  Under where it is said that your model is, there must be a link that says "software and driver downloads".  Until it clicks.

  4. in the next screen, you will need to choose your operating system.  Select it and click "next".

  5. a list appears with all the drivers for different systems.  Expand the category that says 'pilot -"graphic  There will be several drivers (one being that shitty laptop with integrated graphics card only and another for great laptops with switchable graphics).  Read the descriptions of each and it is made for laptops with switchable graphics.  Download the right one.

  Once download you, you will need to restart your laptop.  When it starts up, it will be like new.

• PROBLEMS T400 with switchable graphics technology.

  A few months ago, I bought T400. without having to install any other drivers.
  BUT yesterday.
  I install a driver (which is said to be able to activate the switchable graphics card)
  from here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70417.html

  I download the files and then extract all.
  then I went to the place where I extract and install the Setup file.

  After installing and restrting, I click with the right button on the destop and click Catalyst Control Center.
  BUT he jumped a Catalyst Control Center Notification:

  "ATI Catalyst Control Center cannot be started because the active GPU is not supported."

  After that nothing came out.

  Can someone show me how to solve this problem?
  How do I CHANGE my GPU
  How to make my switchable map USABLE chart.

  Thanks in advance. need to solve this problem. appreciated. =]

  Hello... Im just solve the same problem while I touched your post...

• Black - switchable graphics - T400 screen

  Hello

  I have T400 with updated and Win7 64 bit drivers. I tried switchable graphics, but it did not work.

  My configuration is:

  bios - display - switchable graphics = graphics adapter

  -OS SG - active detection

  When I boot in win7, it is passed to built-in adapter and when I tried to switch to the adjustment of performance (without any connected external display and no application running), the computer works, but the screen goes black and remain in this State. It looks like the screen is off. To get to normal, I have to get sleep and after you wake up system, switchable graphics are set on onboard again.

  Have a similar experience? And is there a solution for this? I really like the idea of switching graphic (it is really useful for the trip) and it was one of the reasons why I've upgraded to Win7 XP

  When I updated my switchable drivers, I came across a similar problem. I solved it by starting place (switchable graphics enabled in BIOS witch) in SafeMode (F8 during the boot process), then activating the ATI in Device Manager. It seemed that it was accidentally disabled during the installation of the drivers.

  Don't know if it solved your problem, but may be worth a try.

• 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.

• Pavilion g6t-2000 CTO: switchable graphics in Pavilion g6

  I bought this phone two or three years ago, but didn't notice this problem until a year ago. This is because I did not know what as switchable graphics were and supposed worked the map I spent an extra $ 100 for. I'm unable to use the AMD m7076HD graphic card at all. Instead I am forced to use the 4000HD Intel integrated for gaming, which is far from ideal. When I start the computer I get an error message saying that I don't have the dirvers for AMD when I left click on the desktop there is no option to configure switchable graphics, when I try to start CCC it gives me an error message saying that there are no settings to configure, when I try to change the graphic properties it only shows me that the Intel chip When I look into the setting graphic video games there is only the chip intel, and in the bios there is no fixed and switchable settings. The only way that I know that I have and AMD card in the computer is the Device Manager say. So far, I have tried several times to update the drivers for the cards and the bios of HP and just leshcat cards, repeaditly. I also took to geek team once, but the most they could do was to get CCC to open. With GTA 5 on I really want the issue to be fixed. Is there anything else I can do? I've scoured the web last year and found no other soloutions for my specific problem. If there's really nothing else I can do myself, where should I consider truly fixed. From what I've read, it seems that many other people had this problem and it never solved. I'm done with this computer and HP, I need answers quickly, or I'll just cut my losses and buy a new laptop from a brand that will sell me fully functional. Let me know if you need more info.

  Hi there @supersadness

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

  I understand that you have had problems with switchable graphics on your laptop. I'm happy to help you with this.

  First, you talk to install several drivers for this, but in reality, if you have switchable graphics, you need just the driver on the HP site, which contains the drivers for the AMD and Intel for a switchable configuration.

  Please read the following for more information on how it works.

  Computers laptops HP - overview of switchable graphics or dual GPU

  HP - Switchable Graphics on laptops laptops configured with Intel and ATI GPU

  This should be the only driver, you must install for switchable graphics features. It will start to download on your download folder by default once you click on the link. You will then need to run to start the installation. However I would recommend uninstall video driver previous first, then by restarting and then installing this driver.

  AMD graphics driver high definition (HD)

  Also, here is the description of the functionality from the download page:

  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.

  Let me know if it helps.

• Not available after a Windows 7 install own switchable Graphics

  Hello

  I had to clean install Windows 7 due to a problem that I created in the first place. In any case, everything works fine, except for the Radeon graphics card.

  I own a HP Pavilion g6-1279sl Notebook. It is supposed to have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 and an AMD Radeon HD6470M.

  I installed the latest version of Catalyst driver and when I right click on the desktop, it says "switchable graphics", but if I click on it, it shows me just another option of the catalyst, HydraGrid.

  Using a tool that shows what video card is currently running, I noticed that, even when I'm running games, the graphics card Intel's works, giving a whole worse performance that the Radeon should give. I mean, the Radeon never works. I also tried to disable the Intel of the Device Manager (I think it's called like that, I have a portable Italian), and there have been problems because of the card Radeon runs does not correctly.

  The BIOS is updated and no other choices don't worry we Switchable Graphics.

  Is this what can I do to access the feature back?

  Also, I'm kind of a newbie, then I want you to be clear in the explanation of things me!

  Thank you

  Sorry if I happen to reproduce an old post, but I have not found a solution in messages older.

  Hope you can lend a hand,

  Ruben Tura.

  Hello:

  The only driver that you can install is the AMD driver page driver and and care of your laptop.

  Uninstall the graphic drivers you have installed (AMD and Intel) and only use this one...

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-99756-1&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=4063&product=5173421&sw_lang=

  You are unable to update Intel or AMD graphics drivers individually, or switchable graphics will not work.

  You cannot use the drivers supplied by AMD or Intel Web site.

  Support page and the driver of your laptop is a driver made on order and unfortunately, it is not updated.

  But it's the only one that you can use if you want the chart to work properly.

  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.

• I have upgraded to Windows 8. How can I get the switchable graphics to work?

  Windows 8 was released a little over a month and several users have had the desire to upgrade their laptop for Windows 8.

  However, the laptop doesn't have any Windows 8 at HP software, because it is not yet approved for Windows 8.

  This usually results in video cards being turned on so only used Intel graphics card.  Some symptoms of this is the laptop is running more hot than usual and the battery life is significantly short due to these two cards being fed at the same time.

  This isn't an official solution to this problem, but it worked for me and others.

  1. install the HP software framework found here.

  Credit for finding this link goes to CherylG.

  2. then, uninstall all ATI/AMD software through programs and features.

  3. go to www.hp.com and select Support and drivers at the top.

  4. Select software downloads and the pilot, then enter your product model or product number.

  5. Select the most recent operating system corresponding to your installation of Windows 8 bit architecture.  For example, Windows 7 64 bit for 64-bit Windows 8.

  6 download the ATI graphics card driver.

  7. run the file once it is finished downloading.

  8. let the finished extraction process, but cancel the installation when you are prompted to continue after extraction.  Note where this is extracted to.  By default, this should be c:\swsetup\.

  9. here, there should be a setup.exe to install the ATI driver.  Right-click it and select troubleshoot compatibility.

  10 follow the troulbeshooter of compatibility and select the suggested fixes.  On one screen, there will be a button of test program.  Click here to begin the installation.

  11. follow the installation and it must successfully complete.

  12. Once completed, right click on the desktop to check that configures it with the switchable graphics option is listed.

  Once this done, switchable graphics should work fine on most systems.  This translates into reduced heat and charge the battery lasting longer.

  While this may not work for everyone, he worked for many users.

  I hope this helps.

• Drivers for AMD Radeon HD 5650 switchable graphics by hp!

  I contacted HP by phone

  Literally told me:

  "as long as your laptop computer is a material that supports windows 8, which is clearly the case because you run windows 8 now, then the drivers will be available, but when exactly I have no idea." I know only this fact. »

  What a helpful customer service representative !

  He was rather unfriendly and had a condescending tone. If the call was short.

  Don't know whether to believe it or not...

  I tried something and it seems to work so far, I hope that nothing happens!

  I don't know that I read it on another topic on this forum. Now, I'm working with the old drivers HPs switchable graphics.

  1. Uninstall your current windows program & feature AMD/ATI driver.
  2. Download your driver assigned to the HP site.
  3. Click on install once you have it ready, until you see the ATI / AMD window to install the drivers, the closing and opening to complete the installation.
  4. go to your c: / drive driver, SwSetup, video "C:\SwSetup\Drivers\Video".
  5. Right-click on the setup.exe and go to the Compatibility tab set that it is compatible with windows 7.
  6. then simply click on run as administrator and start the installation.
  7. reset. and then right click on the desktop and 'name', you get your CCC and your rear switchable graphics, the version of windows 7

  I tested it and it worked, when I unplugged my AC adapter and they gave me the old message that I used to get Windows 7, asking me if I want to change the graphics to save

  the credit goes to someone on this forum... not me

  Make sure you don't update the AMD driver and they are for now, until HP releases stuff official windows 8

• 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.

• Satellite Pro A300 - is a switchable graphics?

  Hello Forum Toshiba,

  I am owner of a Toshiba Satellite Pro A 300 PSAGDA-02000R.
  My question is, if the laptop supports switchable graphics hybrid?
  I was searching Internet for days, but I have not found an adequate answer to my question.
  I found this brochure: http://www.bmstech.com.au/Brochures/toshiba/PSAGDA-02000R.pdf with specifications of the laptop.
  I found this offer with a Satellite Pro A 300 with a different model number providing Switchable Graphics:

  Thanks for the responses...

  Hi - Piliphus-,
  another one who believes in the Easter Bunny... ads...

  After doing some research and looking for a wiki...:
  + 'Hybrid Switchable Graphics' + and + 'intel' + some facts came to light:

  one is + SLI + which allow the graficcards to connenct 2
  and the other + Intel Graphics Media Accelerator + located IN the northbridge to accelerate to access the ram and grafics

  and what you want to do with that + "hybrid Switchable Graphics +?

  and Yes, your laptop has two components.
  and no, he won't give you more time, or prepare a cup of coffee or you bring in time...

  It's just a State of the art video and grafics handling - no more no less...
