Windows chooses the wrong graphics driver

Facts:

I want HP dv6 laptop 7200 t I bought directly from HP.

In the speifications, I asked a graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 M with 2 GB of dedicated ram.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit in English.

Now, I didn't have much use for such a card chart until today - I installed a game and he pointed out my graphics card sucks and the game does not work well on it - he says that my graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 4000.

I checked Device Manager and found 2 - both of the listed graphics cards graphics drivers.

two of them are up to date (I took care of the nvidia Control Panel to the other, and even reinstalled it just in case)

Assumptions:

I'm not much of an expert in hardware, but I guess I have 2 graphics card - internal on motherboard (intel) and external (GeForce) - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

And if that's the case, somehow Windows chooses to use Intel instead of GeForce.

I also made sure of it by disabling the Intel HD Graphics 4000 of the Device Manager and my screen went black - guess that its safe to assume that indeed intel driver is in use.

Question:

If so far I'm supposed so maybe my question is simple - how can I tell Windows choose otherwise?

And if I'm wrong, no doubt, I'm in a deep hole, what should I do?

Thank you!!

Alex

Hey, Alex:

The two GPU is soldered to the motherboard.  There is no graphics "card" in any portable consumer HP at the current address.

Please read this guide to learn how to use switchable graphics with the Intel/Nvidia graphic installation program.

For the AMD Radeon HD 7620 G and an AMD Radeon 8770 m, please read this guide for portable computers with dual AMD GPU:

    Hello Lewie,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. What is brand and model your computer?
    2. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?

    I understand that you lose your screen when you play a game. This happens usually if the installed graphics driver has corrupted or unstable. Therefore, I suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1: Run the tool material and devices

    Try running the next fixit and check whether the problem is resolved.

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

    1 open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click System and Security, and then, under System, click the Managerof peripheral . If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. in the list of hardware categories, find the display adapters and select the device driver you want to update, and then double-click the device name.

  • Satellite A300-RJ1 - cannot install the new graphics driver from Intel page

    Hello.

    Another problem.
    When I use the "integrated" Vista, I can not install the new graphics driver (intel inside).
    Whenever the error message: the driver is not validated by your system, please contact your producer.

    So if I install a clean windows, so I can install the new graphics driver: S and I want to install because it is much more recently than the preinstalled :(

    Hi mate

    You can install this driver, but you need to use different installation procedure.
    You must install it in the Device Manager.

    Here, you can choose Advanced Setup, then choose don't search. I will choose the driver, then point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

    But note; I read here that the use of non-Toshiba drivers is always at your own risk

  • Qosmio X 875-installation of the Win7 graphics driver

    I recently bought a TOSHIBA Qosmio X 875 - Q7380 with Windows 8. I went down to Windows 7 64 bit OS.
    Everything is fine except for the graphics drivers. When I try to install the driver NVIDIA (GeForce GTX 670 M) it says that I need to install the Intel driver first.

    So I find and attempt to install the Intel graphics driver and it says that my computer does not meet the minimum requirements for this software.
    What Miss me?

    How did the laptop changes between the use of the cards? I can't find anything in the Bios. I'm not able to install the graphics card intel because it is disabled for the NVIDIA card?

    How can I get the graphics driver intel installed so I can install the NVIDIA driver?

    Have you tried the Intel® HD Graphics 4000 driver?
    This is the driver that should work:
    http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng & changeLang = true & dId = 22376 DWNL

    The zipped package.
    You must decompress this first. Then you might want to update the driver through Device Manager by pointing to the folder of the driver that you have unpacked above.

    and there is no possibility to switch between graphics cards.

  • If I uninstall the ATI graphics driver, is it OK?

    I read that there could be problems with the help of the automatic update to install the graphics drivers? That's what I used. In any case, I intend to uninstall my ATI graphics driver and reinstall it in the hope of fixing the problem of sleep.

    I want to just make sure: is it OK to just uninstall the graphics driver? The screen still works? I guess there will always be a standard video driver from microsoft so the screen should work again right?

    See you soon.

    There is no problem by uninstalling the ATI graphics driver and a video driver included with windows will be used as a Standard VGA driver or something like that. So it's not like you'll get a black screen after a reboot.

  • Windows XP Pro does not correctly load after the release of the Radeon graphics driver

    Hello

    I have a Shuttle XPC with Windows XP Pro and an ATI Radeon Sapphire graphics card. The entire system is 5-6 years, if that helps my raw description.

    My graphic card Radeon has had performance problems, so I downloaded ATI "autodetect tool" and he did choose the update of the driver concerned. After installation and reboot, my PC load Windows XP, but remains unused in ' grainy 8 colors low resolution version ' of my office. No icons, toolbar or whatever it is well visible. The mouse moves the pointer autour, but does not respond to clicks. The only combination of keys which gives anything is Ctrl + Alt + Delete, raise the usual options (in this case useless) to lock the computer, close the session, stop etc.

    In short, it seems that I'm not really on my desk, even if it loaded my wallpaper by default.

    'Safe mode' or "last working configuration" does not take me anywhere useful.

    How to contact with the system to at least start to change my settings for graphics cards?

    I thank very you much for any help.

    Second, consider the recommendation on the websites of the games online that you would like to play, contact a sales person at your favorite computer store to inform them of your system configuration, including graphics cards and see what their susggestion are on a graphics card that would be compatible with Vista and suited to your gambling needs.

  • Photoshop CS5 always chooses the wrong monitor in dual monitor profile?

    The folklore is that if you go to EDIT/COLOR SETTINGS and open space RGB Working drop down, and then up on the "Monitor RGB" line in what he says is the profile monitor that photoshop is actually to aid.

    If that's true, then I expect if I run photoshop on my monitor 1 he would show the monitor 1 profile, and if I have PS on Monitor 2 it would show the 2 monitor profile. But in fact, it always shows the monitor profile 1. Naturally, this creates anxiety that PS uses the wrong profile to display my images, because I normally work with the image on the screen 2.

    My configuration: Windows 7 64-bit, PS 12.0.1 x 64. Matrox M9120 graphics card drive two monitors. MANAGEMENT of Windows CONTROL COLOR/PANEL displays a different profile active on each monitor.

    (By running photoshop on a particular monitor, I want to say I run photoshop, drag mode non-plein screen on the desired monitor and close it.) Then I run it again and it starts on this screen (including the start screen)).

    What photographers want to know, that's exactly what photoshop monitor profile used when displaying an image? Where is the answer to this question please?

    The profile associated with this display in the settings of the operating system.

    Photoshop DO fixes for each display separately, using the profiles associated with each screen and correction the same for images that run through several screens.  If you move the window, Photoshop updates the values of color accordingly.  He has done that since Photoshop 5.0.
