Cant switch from intel vga to Nvidia

0
0

Hi,

 

Yesterday i bought this 470 G4 laptop to use it with AutoCAD 2016 3D. Its impossible to run AutoCAD with Nvidia graphics, autoCAD starts and uses only in i5 cpu integrated Intel graphics 620, which for 3D aplications like AutoCAD is a joke..

In the Bios i have 2 options for graphics, UMA and the other - dual VGA, if i choose UMA, in the OS, nvidia isnt listed anywhere, not even in device manager after pressing "scan for hardware changes", when i set dual vga in bios, both drivers are listed in the OS. In device manager i disabled the Intel VGA, but the OS automatically switched to Standart VGA graphics, a driver, that isnt intel or nvidia, some standart rubish, i could see, that the HD 1920x1080 resolution was terrible! I set Nvidia 930MX in the nvidia software properties to be used as the primary VGA, i ALSO used the nvidia 930MX software to tell, that nvidia should run the AutoCAD.exe with nvidia graphics, but everything i do doesnt help.. I run AutoCAD, then go to system properties and every time, there is this Intel 620 grpahics..WHY??? WHY cant the VGA driver or OS understand that this is a huge 3D application that needs Nvidias power!??? Why doesnt the nvidas software function (there is a choice to set the exact *.exe which should run with nvidia vga) doesnt do waht its suposed to do? What can i do, are there solutions or i should go to the shop and tell them what i think about them..In the shop the HP people (salespeople) told me, yes, yes, there is a sepperate dedicated Nvidia card for 3D stuff and AutoCAD should run just fine, u will be pleased!! BUT IT DOESNT and IM NOT!!!

 

So far i googled a lot..there are sooo many people around, who have similar problems with HP and other manufacturers, that integrated intel vga doesnt switch to Nvidia if using apps, but games...different story... i tested, i installed COD MW, nvidia works great, but i didnt pay 700EUR to play games.. by the way im very experienced with computers, i know what im doing..

 

so please give me some solutions to try! Or if there are no solutions, tell me straight away and i will go to the shop and we will have a little nice chat with these HP salespeople...


pavillion 360 convertible screen goes black when I move it

Hi, I'm new to HP, we've always used Dell but following some indifferent customer support I thought I'd try an HP.

I bought a Pavillion 360 convertible, from first turn on the screen flickers and goes black If I move it to certain positions. I followed the help I could find on hp online without sucess. I tried HP on line diagnostics but keep getting 'Bad Gateway 502'.

 

Any advice would be appreciated - seems physical since it only happens if I move the screen

Screen went black but could still hear motor running, now it won't turn on ever when charged

I can't find an relevant setings for my touch screen.  When i click/touch things it registers multiple touches as if i'm speed clicking. Often as i close a window or dialog box it will click on anthing that's open in the background faster than i can get my finger off the screen. often it also behaves as if i've double clicked with a single touch. Any suggestions?

Secondary Screen Loading Issue on HP EliteBook 840 G2

0
0

Recently got a laptop upgrade from my company to an HP EliteBook 840. My office setup includes a slim dock with dual monitors. I noticed that switching between screens, one of them does not load the window of the programs I have open completely.

 

The failure to load the full window is independent of what type of program I'm using. It happens with photo viewers, email, file explorer, etc. At first I thought it had something to do with the type of cable being used for the screen that was having issues, however, at the moment I'm using my laptop screen with an external monitor connected to the DisplayPort, using the external monitor as primary screen and laptop screen as secondary, and I'm having the same issue with loading screens on my laptop screen. It seems the loading issue is not the hardware but the software, since the problem is happening on whatever I set up to be my secondary screen.

 

When the display windows do not load properly, dragging them from the title bar and maximizing them fixes the problem, as this seems to trigger a full refresh of the display.

 

Looking through the forum, a similar thread suggested updating the video drivers, which I already did and did not fix the issue. Alhough this is a minor issue, it is affecting my working speed so I would really appreaciate it if you provide a solution.

 

I hope this post is clear enough and provides the information necessary to diagnose the issue successfully. I'm not an IT professional so I don't know the proper language to describe the issue. If you require additional information, screenshots, etc, don't hesitate to ask.

Open GL error after starting Transport Fever

0
0

Hello,

Since the installation of a new game Transport Fever, I receive the error displayed below;


"Open GL context creation failed"
"Please try installing the latest drivers for your graphics card."
"(ogl_LoadFunctions failed)"


The laptop has the following details:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @2.50 GHz
RAM: 6 GB

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics Family and Radeon (TM) HD 7450M | 1052MB

 

The minimum system requirements for the game are as follow:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 7, 8 or 10 (64bit)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, ATI Radeon HD 5670, 1 GB VRAM

As the error says I've checked the latest drivers and have 8.882.2.0 installed.
Unfortunately this don't solve the problem and I keep getting the error above.

Hopefully someone has the solution for this problem. 

Thank you very much in advance. 


With kind regards,

synaptics: am I the only one to HATE it?

0

I have an HP Pavilion Notebook - 17-g021nf (ENERGY STAR) bought in September 2015 I thihk. I want to draw attention upon the fact that SYNAPTICS IS AN AWFUl DRIVER! It doesn't work! Why does HP inflict that plague upon its users?

 

I'm the normal Joe and I use my computer mainly for internet browsing, e-mail writing and word-processing. Therefore I use the simplest functions of Synaptics: touchpad, click right, click left, one finger sliding, AND THAT'S IT! I need no more!

 

Right-click / left-click doesn't even work properly! I click as left as I can and it constantly brings up right-click menus! And, SURE, I've selected left as primary button! And SURE, I've reduced the right-click zone to the smallest possible area at the bottom right of the touchpad. I DON'T THINK IT'S ME, I THINK IT'S SYNAPTICS! I don't know, it may be that that driver has become so sophisticated that the simplest functions don't work.

 

Plus, ALL THOSE PROBLEMS WITH UPDATES, losing all your personal settings and having to go fiddle with registries to fix that  - THE NORMAL JOE SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO GO FIDDLE IN THE REGISTRIES! One time it got so bad - all of a sudden I had to click like mad for the click to register, and I realized that it happened righ after a Synaptics update was installed - that I had to go through a complete recovery to get rid of the **bleep** update! And then I had to find bypasses to prevent Windows 10 from installing that new update again and again. THE NORMAL JOE SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO DO THAT!!!

 

And now! Every once a day, all my internet processes simply freeze for minutes, I simply can't access either my browsers (IE 11 or Firefox) or my e-mail client (Windows Live Mail) - and it's ALWAYS because my Norton antivirus is blocking access of Synaptics/Syntpenh.exe to some of my computer processses! Every day, sometimes twice or three times a day! WHY? Why is that **bleep** Syntpenh.exe, whatever it is, trying to access my processes and f****g up my internet processes? I read online that it could be some malware that somehow took the name or place of a Synaptics executable file. I don' know about this, I'm just the normal Joe. BUT HOW DO I FIX IT? How do I get rid of this thing that blocks my internet processes for minutes, repeatedly every day?

 

Anybody sharing my problems and discontent with Synaptics?

Radeon R5 m430 not detected on Windows 10

0
0

Hi,

 

 

My gf just bought HP 250 g5 notebook. It came with free DOS, so I installed windows 10 64bit on it.

 

 

This notebook should come with both Intel HD graphics and AMD Radeon R5 m430 graphic card. And this Radeon card is causing us issues.

 

 

There is no way to have it detected, to show in device manager. The Intel HD is showing as intended there.

 

 

1. I tried to install AMD auto detect tool, it says that the application is not compatible with outdated AMD hardware. That error leads to online page which lists that unspupported hardware, and my card is not on that list. The suggestion is to install legacy Catalyst Center, which I did(although the card is not on that list), but it won't install. Installation is halted by some error message.

 

2. I downloaded the graphic drivers for that card directly from AMD site, the first one listed here http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064 . It says that there is no AMD hardwarare installed.

 

3. Next I downloaded the switchable graphic drivers from http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-250-g5-notebook-pc/10180321 . This doesn't do anything when installed. I am even not sure that it had installed, it just ends the procces very fast, with no messages or errors.

 

4. I installed HP Support Assistant tool, it only gave the option to download Intel HD drivers, no trace of AMD here.

 

 

 

Am I missing something obvious here? Or is it maybe that the card is not presented at all, faulty or wrongly connected?

 

 

p.s. This is the exact product number : Z2Y30E2#BED

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Mirko

Webcam Issue on Probook 6455b Win 7

Hello!

 

I've seem to have stumbled on an unsolvable issue with my webcam. Nomatter what I do, I can't get it to display anything.

It really doesn't seem to be a driver issue, I've read all there is on HP site and on the web.

And yes, I have a camera mounted in the chassis.

On some camera programs it's stated that the camera is busy, that's pretty much it. 

 

HW ID: USB\VID_0BDA&PID_5801&REV_0221&MI_00

Driver detected as: USB2.0-Camera

Driver Ver: 6.2.9200.10253  12/6/2013

 

I've tried a driver from 2010 and one even earlier also.  

 

I should also mention that I've bought it a a second hand computer from a company. The instalation I've made is with a clean Win 7 and with the OEM key on the back. However, I'm missing all the original HP disks.

 

Any suggestions? All help is very welcome.


Pixels or artifacts on the screen;

0
0

Hey,

 

I encountered an issue with a laptop, whenever i am using an app like MS Edge or Outlook, the screen gets pixelated or the colors inverted but only in some areas. Some of the text and images are clearly visible but random pixels would appear out of the blue and disappear just like that.

 

Raising and lowering the lid does not make a difference, nor is using the laptop with or without a charger connected;

Funny thing is, this happened only 3 days after performing a system recovery;

 

What i've done so far:

-Performed a cold reset;
Drivers up to date with the help of HPSA:
Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver:
20.19.15.4377 Rev.A

AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver:
15.301.2211.0 Rev.A


-Performed tests in UEFI:

Processor test: Passed;
System Board test: Passed;
Video memory fast check: Passed;
Video palette check: all was ok, no distortions found;

-Disabled Intel HD graphics in Device manager and restarted the laptop;

 

So far it seems that the laptop showed no pixels but i will be further monitoring the issue;

Also, after disabling the intel integrated graphics, it didn't start using the AMD video card but instead it uses the genering Microsoft display driver or something.

And i cannot install the "Intel display driver 5500-Broadwell" as it says "no supported platform"

Hello. 

 

I just wanted to upgrade form very old 2012 (I think) drivers to newest, witch i saw in AMD drivers and supprot home page. I downloaded amd crimson edition, witch supported my video card. So I downloaded it, installed. But there was error log, saying that ''no amd graphics driver is installed'', I tried to clean drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller, and install again, but nothing helped. Only driver works is that old one, from 2012 or 2013. So Am I stuck with very old driver?

Problems when connecting USB-C to VGA adapter with Envy x360

I got an HP Envy x360 (model: http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/Laptops/hp-envy-x360-convertible-laptop--15t-touch-iris-gfx-w0z96av-1) a few weeks ago and I bought the HP USB-C to VGA Adapter (http://store.hp.com/NetherlandsStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=N9K76AA&opt=AC3&sel=ACC) to connect the laptop to an old VGA display. When I connect the adapter to the laptop, I first get an error that the USB device is not recognized:

 

USB device not recognized

 

This issue resolves itself fairly quickly, however, but after that every few seconds the following error pops up:

 

Try improving the USB connection

 

Trying the laptop and adapter combination with another display and VGA cable results in the same behavior. However, the adapter works with both displays when connected to my Lumia 950 phone.

 

The second error also talks about a "DisplayPort connection", but the adapter is for connecting via VGA...

 

Has anyone some ideas for solving this problem?
