Windows 8 will not detect my graphics (Nvidia Ge Force 555 M)

I have a Lenovo B520 desktop PC and recently upgraded to Windows 8, since my upgrade, I lost the ability to use my graphic dedicated chip (a Nvidia Ge force 555M), trying to install the drivers for this device, the installer of Nvidia said that it could not find any compatible hardware (Windows 8 had not recognized the graphics card). If someone else is having the same problem or someone knows how to solve this problem, then you would be a great help,

Thank you
Tom

I experienced a similar problem with my motherboard Asus P8Z77-V and a Nvidia GTX 670. I have video output to my monitor, but according to the Nvidia Control Panel, there is no compatible hardware installed, so my games run like molasses.

In my case, I found a solution that might work for you too. In Device Manager, I noticed that the system for my port PCI Express device had a marker against it, so it did not work properly. For me, the device was labeled "Xeon processor E3-1200 v2/3 rd Gen Core Processor PCI Express Root Port - 0151". Right click on one to select Disable and then enable caused once again my card being detected and everything worked properly again.
Only problem with the solution above, it persists through a reboot, so whenever I start my computer I have to do. Not perfect, but the best solution that I can find at the moment.
I hope this helps you
James

Edit: I have since solved the problem permanently (fingers crossed) by updating the firmware on my motherboard to the latest version. YMMV.

  • Windows 8 will not detect my second monitor.

    I recently bought a VGA splitter to connect my second monitor to my computer. It turns on but it duplicates only (not even as good resolution). I want to use this monitor to expand, but when I go to display and resolution it does not detect the second monitor even after click on detect. Someone has an answer to this?

    A VGA splitter can duplicate only a display. It does not report a second graphics port for Windows, which is necessary if Windows is to recognize two separate screens.

    If your system has a single port graph, you will need to replace your graphics card (or add a card, if you use the integrated graphics card) with a with two or more output channels.

  • Windows 8 will not detect iPod Touch 2 generation

    Hello!

    My problem is I have an iPod Touch 2 gen and when I plug in windows cannot detect it. If I go to post work is not in the list, or if I go to Device Manager, it is still not detected not even in portable devices or controllers Bus USB, but the iPod is charging. It happened after a restored building and now I need to connect it to iTunes, but it does not work. I tried with Windows 7, 8 and 10, and I don't know what to do at the moment.

    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the iPod Touch 2 connects not with Windows 7, 8 or 10 and I will be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    • IPod Touch 2 appears in iTunes?
    • You receive an error message?

    This could be due to problem of incompatibility with iTunes. Given that iPhone 5s connects without any problems, you can refer to the suggestions provided by Apple in the link below.

    iPod touch not appearing is not in iTunes

    If the problem persists, I would ask that you check with Apple support.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Alienware M15x does not detect the graphics card, GeForce GT 555 M

    Hey guys, I ask you bear with me for the whole story because I believe that it may be relevant.

    I just bought this laptop (M15x) pre owned, it came with windows installed 8.1 and a load of games and others with all the drivers work and tact. Although it has been slow and some errors like may be able to control the volume.

    CPUID other programs showed my 1024 MB graphics card but I don't remember the name but I'll what nvidia says on their site and the description says...

    I didn't like windows 8 and I thought, rather than make clean for a week I'll install windows 7 from scratch, I did. Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit for info

    After doing this, I started to install anti virus and others and then to install the drivers, many of which I don't know, but analysis system dell raised all of the recommendations I installed, everything outside the video... none seems to fit my current card. I left it... went to nvidia which part of the site told me that he could not find compatible hardware... another part of the site classified as GT 555 M, but I had to go to my manufacturer to get the driver.

    After a few discussions with local technicians and these and other forums, I tried the drivers provided dell card among other NVIDIA covering my amog others but none worked and could not find compatible hardware...

    I thought it was that I installed the drivers in the wrong order, after an accident, I installed windows 7 over again and went straight on the chipset driver, then the video driver. but I fell on the same subject.

    After looking over several forums, the only thing I can come up with is to turn off graphics integrated into the bios (option not available for this)

    Maybe windows 7 doesn't like this graphics card? I am at a loss. given that everything worked fine on windows 8.1

    also in the device manager it does not list my card on the pc there is nothing wouldn't prove that I have a graphics card to all even the windows own evaluation system set to 1 for graphics NOTE from the ADMIN: replace character removed according to the TOU >

    Please help me...

    The GT 555 M has been never delivered with the M15X, but with M14X R1, so the former owner must have updated the GT 240 M graphics card. This explains why the drivers from the website corresponds to your configuration.

    Try this version of the driver from the NVIDIA website and let me know how it goes.

  • Windows 8 will not detect my network card

    Hello!

    Recently, I upgraded my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8. The whole installation has worked perfectly and I can run everything very well, except the internet. I have a Trendnet TEW 643PI wireless network adapter and Windows does not recognize that it inserted in the computer. The only option for internet is through an ethernet cable. I tried to update the drivers several times. I restarted my computer at least 4 times now. I have unplugged the PCI card and ran the machine, then plugged in. Everything I've tried has not worked.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Too bad everyone! I fixed it myself.

    I connected my computer to ethernet (I use my Macbook air to do this) and represented the convenience store. He found the missing and found a driver and installed. So now I can use internet again.

  • XP Mode in Windows 7 does not detect the ATI Radeon graphics card

    Hi, on windows 7, xp (virtual), the system mode does not detect my graphics (ATI Radeon HD4530). This card is indispensable to run a business application (multimedia program). Can you please help me.

    Thank you, Christian.

    * original XP mode with title - __Windows 7 - (virtual) with ATI radeon HD4530__Christian.* graphics card

    Windows XP mode provides a virtual hardware platform to run XP programs.  With the exception of some USB devices, it does not provide a direct access to the hardware on the host computer.

    If you need to use your real graphics hardware in XP you will probably have to put in place a system to dual-boot and boot XP when necessary.

  • J4580: J4580 will not detect the alignment page.

    My J4580 that works very well for years, now will not detect the alignment page after you print and put on the scanner bed.  I try three times and it then goes to the default alignment parameters.  It still prints but text tends to little fuzzy.  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi @BruceK43,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your problem of alignment.

    I understand that you used a HP Officejet J4580 all-in-One printer with a Windows 10 computer but when you try to only scan the alignment page, the printer is not detected by the alignment page returns to the default alignment parameters. I would like to help with that.

    Here is the document of support designed to be used with this problem - a "alignment failed" Error Message appears on the printer control panel.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.
  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

    What now? Is turn off the power, my only option?  What happens if it is not yet recognized after that?

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
    correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
