Windows 7 64 - bit on Precision M6300 - video problem

I just installed Windows 7 64-bit on a Dell Precision M6300. There is a video problem. Here's what's happening and what I tried:

The problem:

  • If I move or resize a window, the colors go crazy and it becomes illegible or at best, barely readable.

What I tried:

  • Installed the latest driver from the Dell support Web, for 64-bit Vista site. It has a little less well. With this driver, before even as I resize a window, something white in the window, for example the whole background of many windows, has a checkerboard pattern that makes it difficult to read window. Then that uninstalled driver and I am now is installed by Windows 7 64 bit.
  • Disabled the display of the device manager driver and found that in the video simple, low-resolution Windows going when you do this, the prob lem moved not. I was able to move and resize the dialog boxes here without problem.
  • With the Windows 7 driver, I tried all available including low video resolutions, I think it's the same resolution used when the driver is disabled. All had the same problem, including the lowest resolution.
  • Flashed the bios system A3 to A13, later.
  • Downloaded the latest Dell diagnostics, made a boot CD, entered the custom and ran all the tests video. All reported no errors, and I never saw no problem with the video then that in the diagnostic program. I was able to move the main window of the diagnostic program, and it worked fine; no problems of any sort there.
  • I also ran Express diagnostics; He reported that everything was fine.

What should I do to fix this?

Thank you

Hello Terry,

No, I don't have success with the NVidia driver installed by Vista. I spoke too soon on that aforementioned; It turned out that after installation, he always used the "Standard VGA Grahics adapter" until it restarts. While using the NVidia driver installed by Vista and the problem was back.

The only thing that worked was "Standard VGA Grahics adapter" driver for Windows, which is slow. If I deleted the NVidia driver from Device Manager and checked the box to uninstall it so that it has not restored automatically on reboot, the computer was usable, although that slow, until the next Windows Update automatica, who would always reinstall the NVidia driver, and the problem would be back again.

Here is how I solved the problem:

I solved the problem by getting an another Dell Precision M6300. It has no problem with the NVidia driver installed by Windows 7 and Vista. Probably, I will not try the Dell driver since it is about 3 years, while the NVidia driver installed by Windows was only around 3 months of age.

I think it's clear now that there is a hardware problem with the first M6300. He returned to the eBay seller.

By coincidence, the two laptops are from the same seller to eBay and the new its trackpad buttons were a bit sticky. With the agreement of the eBay seller, I swapped the palmrest assembled to get the best of these two laptops. He had a lot of screws to keep track of - 27 for each computer laptop - but not difficult. I was surprised to see how big the fans in the M6300 are compared with the Inspiron 8200 I used before.

The 2nd M6300 works very well with the NVidia driver installed by Windows 7. I'll mark this thread as answered.

    There are video games that are compatible with windows 7 64 bit operating systems?

    Hello Peter.

    Yes almost all games in 10 years works perfectly on 64-bit Windows.  What Call of Duty games are you having problems with?  If the first two, you might have to enter the video drivers for your graphics card/computer manufacturer as the first two required OpenGL which is not included with the drivers that Windows uses by default (this has been the case since at least Windows XP).

  • Windows 7 64 bit, new facility - choppy video playback

    I have a quad core Intel I7 HP laptop with 8 GB of RAM, 160 GB of free disk space. ATI Radeon 5600HD graphics card, the latest video drivers ATI, all updates for HP laptop, including the BIOS. The machine should be able to play videos and do a Skype video chat. But in both cases, the video is choppy and not really usable.

    I've been to all updates installed, SP1 for Windows 7, the software I use, etc, etc, etc, so I can't go back to previous restore points, at least that would make a difference.

    I just watched a WMV video that I downloaded (not heard), Channel 9, and it was awful to watch. The video stops but the sound would continue, finally all caught up. But then it would start all over again.

    Video of Skype is similar, the video stops but the sound continues.

    Given that I have the latest video drivers from ATI, and everything else comes from a new facility from 2 days ago. I'd appreciate any help to solve this problem.

    Thank you

  • Beats Studio Wireless - Device missing Bluetooth for Windows 7 64 bit OS drivers

    I have a HP Elitebook 9480 m notebook, running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS.  I just got this machine and my previous machine was running Windows 7 32 bit OS.

    My problem is that when I go to install my wireless on the Elitebook Beats Studio headphone, it does not find the Bluetooth device drivers.

    I called Apple support (now support produced Beats), contacted HP support and visited with my COMPUTER service company hoping to copy the drivers through my old machine (helmet worked on an old machine) and no solution has been found.

    Copy the drivers through did not work as my machine would not find them when we asked it to look for them.  We have, however, learned that the driver that was used on my old machine was a Microsoft driver, specifically the pilot called btwavdt.sys.

    I need an updated version of this driver, or the equivalent of 64-bit if it is not already compatible with 64 bit computers, in order to properly install my helmet.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a Dell Precision 390 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit loaded just fine and it is running.

    It is strongly suggested that you do a clean install.

    So I wiped my HD (after backing up personal files). Don't come to format your drive, I mean totally wipe it.

    Automatic updates will install the drivers you need for any connected device or visit the manufacturers for your drivers.

    Hi hotmishchief,

    Please ask questions!

    If I understand correctly, you want to know how to use the computer like a TV. To answer your questions, you will need a tuner TV and a TV Signal Source which is the cable from the TV Signal provider to connect with the TV Tuner.

    Check out these links that will guide you in setting up your computer as a DVR.

    Demo: set up a TV tuner and a digital video recorder with Windows Media Center (Applicable to Windows 7)

    For more information, see the links provided.

    What should I know before adding TV tuners to use with Windows Media Center?

    TV signals that are supported by Windows Media Center

    Let us know if this information useful. I'd be happy to help you further.
