Symptoms:
Device manager check: it shows the icon and name of NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with an esclamation mark
Clicking on it it displays the status field text as follows:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43).
Actions tried:
Downloading new setup file: sp70052.exe
Run setup (note: on the last file overwriting one file could not be overwritten because of concurrent use by other process, unknown)
Result:
On first restart the status is like before the reinstallation and, furthermore, the NVIDIA control panel menu cannot be run. It is listed and clickable on right clicking on the desktop window but nothing appears, while it is apparently running among the processes listed in Task Manager.
On subsequent warm restarting the restart jams at the black window with HP logo (with the “type esc to go to the startup menu). So it needed a forced cold restart after which the Nvidia Quadro K1100M disappeared from the available adapters (both in the Windows Device Manager tool and the HP Support Assistant System Information list (only device 1 is listed: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710MQ CPU @ 2.50GHz).
SO, IN CONCLUSION I HAVE A POWERFUL NVIDIA QUADRO K1100M ON MY HP ZBOOK 15 G2 THAT I CANNOT USE
