So I download an update for my ati radeon HD 4350 (AMD Catalyst) And it seemed to work fine before when i installed it but i turned in my computer this morning and ot seemed to work fine but after a few minutes my computer just went to a black screen. so i restarted my computer same results, so i booted in safe mode and decided to explore the problem. At first I attempted to uninstall and reinstall the update but when i tried to uninstall it failed and the message "failed to load detection driver" or "couldn't detect system specs" or something along those lines. So i tried to run a game and it wouldn't open. I think i may of somehow broke my graphics card?
I have this computer:Pentium(R) dual core CPU e5300 @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz(RAM) 3.00GBAti radeon HD 4350 512 ram When I try to, for example, create a planet in photoshop(small document) at the end when I try to save my work I get a message that there is not enough memory and couple of hours work goes to waste.Is it possible somehow to tweak my Windows 7 so I can do this?Pleasae I just got this upgrade few months ago and I don't have resources to do a new one.
I'm having a terrible time with this ATI Catalyst driver. Yes, I've read all of the sticky topics and nothing works. I have an HIS Radeon 4350. No drivers downloaded from anywhere work. When I run the install software, it fails after I click the gold "install" button. I get a Windows 7 error report with the same old "DisableSessions" solution, which does absolutely nothing.
It runs, I see the "success" message, I even looked in the registry to make sure the keys were gone. They are and the Catalyst driver still will not install. Yes, I even tried compatibility mode, sadly on the compatibility dropdown, I see "Widows XP SP1" and it's disaabled so I can't change it.
Also, I have no surround sound. Yes, I have the ATI DVI/HDMI adapter. Yes I downloaded and installed the Realtek HDMI driver. It only shows two channels. No clue what's going on there either.
Why is it completely impossible to install any software for this video card? I've tried everything. Haven't I?
Not too long ago I was interested in spanning desktop across multiple monitors. I was looking at the "Radeon HD 3650" with two DVI ports. I had read somewhere for dual support to look for the two DVI ports. I decided to wait for the dual support and went with the "Sapphire Radeon 4350 HD HDMI" card with 512MB memory. I was under the impression this card would not span across monitors because there was not two DVI ports or two VGA ports. This card has 1DVI, 1VGA, 1HDMI.
Today I was looking for a key combination for something else. When I tried the "Windows logo + P" there was a selection box. My options was Desktop only, Duplicate, Span, or Projector mode. This was a shock because of the impression I was under with this card. I have now spanned my desktop across 1DVI and 1VGA monitor.
The only question I have now is if there is a difference in "Dual Mode" and "Spanning Desktop across Monitor's". The Radeon box I have says to enable Dual Mode. I must have a second "Radeon HD 4350 series card" with CrossfireX and a supporting motherboard. I was in the market for Dual Mode because I thought this was needed to support spanning desktop.
i have just decided to turn my old computer into my media center so i decided to do a bit of upgrading, like up the ram, format and install Windows 7. all was fine with that.
then i decided to get the HDMI crankin as well and have had nothing put problems. i tried a pci-e ATI HD 2400pro 1st, and now i have a pci-e Saffire Radeon HD 4350, and they both have the same problem.
when i use process explorer and no card installed (on board card) 0% hardware interrupts. 20% cpu usage install either HDMI card and 80 -90% hardware interrupts, 100% cpu usage all the time.
each time i try a new card i uninstall all vid drivers, turn off the cpu, install card, load new drivers (tried vista and 7 drivers) still no luck. boot time is 10secs with the on board card, 3 mins with either PCI-E card.
I have an ATI Radeon HD 4350. Currently I am using the WDDM 1.1 drivers that came with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install (store-bought). It's been working fine for normal use, but the drivers are 2 years out of date and no games want to work on my system.
I tried installing the Catalyst 11.11 driver package, rebooted and... the result was that Windows suddenly treated my video card like it didn't have ANY drivers; it defaulted to the Standard VGA drivers and didn't even want to acknowledge that the proper drivers for my card existed on my computer. When I brought up Device Manager to manually install the new drivers, it listed the new drivers as ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 along with the old ATI Radeon HD 4350 (Microsoft Corporation WDDM 1.1)- which I kinda/sorta get but don't really. What's the difference between the 4300/4500 and the 4350? Red herring; ignore that.
Anyway... I can revert back to the original 4350 drivers and the screen looks fine, but I'm not getting to use any of the games I've got installed now. I also noticed that, while looking through my System Information, the 4350 is causing some sort of hardware conflict with the PCI-to-PCI Bridge. Which completely drives me bonkers because it WORKS with the WDDM 1.1 drivers.
So I play Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, the desktop is stock from Dell with ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB video card. It plays fine for 2 hrs or so then the screen would freeze for about 3 seconds and then the screen goes black for 10 to 15 second. Sometimes the game recovers sometimes the PC would crash.FYI I am a computer newbie. Below are my set up.
I've recently upgraded to windows 7 x86, and it works great. The only problem I have is that my ati mobility radeon 3650 graphics card doesn't seem to want to work.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers several times using several different versions of the driver (win7beta, vista32, mobilitymodded, unmobilitymodded).
Whenever I try starting up with the card enabled, the screen goes blank. After reinstalling the driver, everything but the wallpaper goes away. Can anyone help?
- Win 7 RC 7100 32 bit does not load the correct graphics card driver and even the boot menu is not displayed correctly (fuzzy black screen, issue known from Ubuntu installations where it was solved by adapting boot loader specifications…) I do know however, that the boot menu is loaded correctly as “arrow down” + “enter” starts XP without any issues.
Win 7 is somewhat loaded, when hitting “enter” only in what I think must be the boot menue. Harddrive gets active and for 5 secons I even get a “black screen in normal resolution” with the arrow displayed correctly. Then unfortunately returning to fuzzy mode.
Questions:
- How to boot Win 7 in vga or graphics modus being blinded? When hitting F8 hard drive reacts differently, but how then to select the right boot option without seeing anything? - Is there an option to install a different graphics card driver into win 7 via the working XP? - Is there an option to modify the boot menu’s options via working XP, e.g., setting to vga modus (that did the trick for Ubuntu). - Any experience with Radeon Mobility 9600 (MV350) under Win 7?
I am using my school tablet to write this since my other (gaming) laptop is unusable as I will explain.
A few days ago I turned on my (gaming) laptop computer and, after briefly showing the "Starting Windows" screen, the screen simply went black no login screen. There is a mouse which is perfectly responsive and moveable. I held down the shutdown button so the laptop switched off, then restarted. A screen came up saying "Launch Startup Repair (recommended)". I then deduced how this problem came about. Used my laptop the night before. Closed the laptop lid, thus beginning sleep mode. Battery probably at 15%. When the computer ran low on battery, it turned back on (which frequently happens) and, as the computer had updates to install, began shutting down and installing the updates, rather than the usual hibernation because 'Shut Down' is the default setting when there are updates. Computer runs out of power halfway through installation. Bad install (which I now know isn't the case). I turn on computer and - BINGO! The login problem occurs. Now, I repaired my computer and restored it to an earlier session. I then noticed that League of Legends wouldn't open (probably unrelated and have contacted Riot support). So this morning I decided to shutdown and install all the updates (which the battery charging, to make sure that there was no failure), which I think included SP3. The same "black screen at login" problem occured. The "VAIO" logo appears, then the "Starting Windows" screen (with the logo above). Then, blackness with a moveable mouse. I press the off button to hibernate and nothing happens, but if I hold it down the computer shuts off completely. I can't access any of my files or even login, so the only way to use my laptop is to use the Windows Repair, which takes over 2 hours.
I am using another laptop to write this.
My laptop with the issue is a VAIO VGN-NW25GF (says on the sticker on the front) running Windows 7 Home Premium using "ATI - Radeon" and "Intel Core 2 Duo". 64 Bit with 2GB of RAM and 320GB hard disk.
I have an HP DV8T entertainment laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GT 230M. The current driver is version 267.67. The latest from Nvidia is 280.26.
When I install 280.26, everything appears to go great...until I re-boot. I get the boot screen with the windows logo and the swirly dots. After that, nothing. Just a black screen with the cooling fans screaming.
I tried to uninstall the current 267.67 driver and then install the 280.26 version but I get a pop-up that says "No compatible device found." I also tried to "Uninstall current driver" from the custom install menu on the Nvidia installer. Again, everything appeared to go well until re-boot. Logo, swirly dots...black screen.
Thank goodness for the ability to create system restore points or I could possibly be re-installing Windows. why I am unable to successfully update this driver?
We are having this issue on Windows 7 x86 Ultimate with an Asus M2N-VM DH mobo, which has an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE / nForce 430 GPU. If we leave the default driver that Windows installs, we can use Media Center full screen, BUT we can't run the native resolution of the monitor, which is an LG L245WP-BN. When we try to run the install disk supplied with the mobo, which supposedly contains Vista drivers, we get an error saying they "can't be installed on this operating system."
I Reinstalled OS a couple of days ago on my Win 7 64bit laptop, since a lot of files on my HDD were corrputed... Now, after reinstalling most of my programs and data, I go to play CoD2, and it was giving way lower FPS than usual. I couldn't try any other game because I hadn't installed any yet. So, I installed a high FPS config, and it didn't help, so I looked for solutions...I reset all CCC settings to default, and did something with DirectX etc (not sure if this fixed it or if it was just heat, or a program running). Even though the problem was gone, I already had Windows Update downloading, and it finished, so I ran it (game and browser window was still open). I selected ATI Mobility driver in the optional tab just for fun, on top of all the recommended ones, even though I already had the most recent one (from like December last year because it's the latest compatible for my laptop due to switchable graphics etc)...
It started installing, screen reset a few times, and then just went black and stayed there. Audio and everything is still running, but I'm left with just a black screen. Should I wait an hour or so, then force restart? Or what? Tried HDMI to TV, says no signal.TLDR; Left with black screen while Windows Update started installing GPU driver etc, audio still running, scared to restart because I don't want to corrupt... What do?
My toshiba satellite l655 was being updated then turned off i turned it back on but the screen is just black i tried shining a light to see if i could see the picture but there was no picture then i tried to hook up the hdmi to a tv to see if i can try to use it on a tv to see the screen and nothing pops up.
I have an HP Pavilion G6-1d40ca. It crashed the other day while I was using it, and when I restarted it, it went to BIOS update. It froze while updating, and died in itself (I think the battery died, it wasn't plugged in. I never knew about BIOS update, so I wasn't expecting for the battery to die during the update, so I didn't plug it in.) Second time, booted it up (it was plugged in this time), and went into BIOS update once again. All's good, was able to use the laptop for about five minutes, then it crashed once again. Now, when I boot it up, nothing comes up on the screen. No nothing. The power button is on, the wi-fi is on, the LED light is blinking non-stop, more than 6 times than what is referred to the HP website.
I tried doing the remove battery and adapter, press power button for 30 seconds, plug it in without the battery, but to no avail. I also did the whole win+B, but doesn't work either. I tried pressing f11, but nothing comes up on the screen. I don't remember where I put the recovery discs that came with the laptop. I thought I put it on the box together with recovery discs for our other computers at home, but I guess I didn't. The thing is, I don't know where to begin, since I don't have anything on the screen itself. Not even a start-up logo or something.
I'm currently in safe mode in my windows 7 laptop which I can only access this computer by. The reason is because when i try to boot windows regularly, I get past the login screen then to be pwned by some black screen with my cursor only displaying. I downloaded a software from IOBit called Advanced system care, then I ran a full system clean. I came back later to reset my laptop and encountered an update, I let it update. When the update was finished, I started getting the Black screen of death.
Things I tried: - System restore (It couldn't find a restore due to the update) - Uninstalling updates (No difference was made) - The CTRL+ALT+DEL then some link for the fix (CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't work) - Start up repair (Nope, no difference) - The /sfc command (It worked but, still no difference)
I'm think pretty much stuck as I don't have a Windows 7 CD, although I have a formatted USB, I'm considering downgrading to XP. But, I'm getting problems with that as well.
I had updated my bios and I had a hard time waiting until it stops responding. When I try to restart it nothing is possible so I removed the battery and put it again then try to start it and nothing happens.
I play games sometimes on the weekend.The fan of card is a bit noisy.And the temperature reached 70*c wille playing nearly all the games.Should I replace the fan or the card? If I sell the video card now,how much is it worth?It still looks like a new card. If I update the card to a better one.
After installing it, whenever my laptop tries to use the Nvidia card, I get a blue screen and the system restarts. I looked in installed updates to uninstall it, and it is not there. I did a system restore to four days before I installed it, and I still get the same effect. Lastly, I installed some older nvidia drivers that used to work using the clean install option, and I still have this problem.
I just installed Windows 7 Professional Version on my computer, it is a high-powered desktop with good specs. My graphics card is a 1GB HD Radeon 4850. I used to have Windows Vista 64bit and it displayed with a clear screen. However, after my upgrade, now the screen is all blurry and messed up. I downloaded ATI CCC and installed the new drivers and STILL, the computer screen is so blurry.
I was really looking forward to this upgrade to Windows 7, but I feel almost forced to revert to Vista because after looking at the screen for about 5 minutes, i get the worst headache ever and my eyes strain awfully.
I use 1920 x 1080 resolution and an HDMI cable, the recommended setting. If I go down to the lower resolution like 1720 x 1000 (not sure if thats exactly what it is) it is more clear, but I lose space and I feel it is still not as clear as it was on vista.
After upgrading my existing installation to Windows 8, I realized I hated it and reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate (deleting the old installation). Once everything was up and running, I tried installing the latest AMD drivers for it (I'm using a Radeon HD 6700). However, after I reboot and the Windows splash screen disappears (but before the Windows Login), I get a blank screen. There's not any "No Signal" that pops up on my monitor, but my mouse does show.. I can boot just fine into safe mode, then disable the drivers to boot normally. However, I can't boot normally with the drivers enabled.
I booted Windows 7 a few minutes ago, and saw what made me think something might have happened relating to my graphics card. Right before the log-on screen came up, I saw a lot of flickering/static, which I thought was really odd because the PC is connected to the monitor with a digital signal (DVI). The computer froze, at this point and I had to reboot. I'm posting from the same PC, so needless to say the reboot worked.
I have a Toshiba laptop with an ATI Radoen 3100 Graphics adapter onboard. with windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit, I get the blue screen of death. what can I do about it?
My wife did something on her PC (she doesn't know exactly for sure what & can't explain it completely me), and now she can't boot up her PC. She says it had something to do with changing the security settings for a program she uses a lot so it wouldn't keep asking her if she wanted to launch it, and that's when it told her to restart the PC, then it wouldn't boot up anymore.When you reboot, the screen eventually goes to a black screen saying "Windows failed to start. A software or hardware error may be the cause" or something to that effect. It offers me the option to "Launch Startup Repair" or "Start Windows Normally".If I Launch Startup Repair, nothing much happens --- it says it's adding files, then it looks like Windows is about to boot up, then it goes to a black screen for a long time & nothing happens.
If I choose Start Windows Normally, it simply reboots & eventually brings me back to the same screen again.I've tried using rebooting and selecting ESC to get to the boot menu, then installing the Win 7 installation disc & selecting the DVD drive, then I select thelanguage, then I click Repair, but it sits there forever with nothing happening.I also tried an outside boot disc I found on the web & it doesn't launch.
i have a Dell Vostro 1520 and im running Windows 7 with a 32bit. It is only 2 years only. It started about a month ago. I was on my laptop viewing and deleting some unwanted photos i had. A few minutes later i realized that i deleted a photo that i wanted. So i went to the recycling bin and restored that photo. When i went back to my photos and went into the album, it said something like i do no have permission to access this folder. Please press continue to get full permission. I clicked continue and i got the access i should have. Now i tried many more random folders and the same thing happened. Also when i came out of the folders, the folders had a big pad lock sign on the front of it. After that i shut down the laptop and went to turn it back on. The laptop will power on like normal. I can press f12 for the boot options. which i have already tried many times. I also tried it in safe mode and what-not, but still nothing. I can hear the fan and stuff spinning up like normal. I have also put and CD into the CD ROM and that spins up fine. So after the Dell logo on the screen, it goes black and stays that way with the cursor. You can move the cursor around no problem. I should also add that the battery light is and has been flashing for a good wile. Its flashing orange and blue. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the battery. Because my laptop will not charge with the AC adapter in it for many months now. It will only stay powered on with the AC adapter plugged in. One more thing. The LED lights over the buttons. None of the are flashing, besides one, on the far left. And i cant find out anywhere what this LED light stands for.
I am on an Acer Aspire M5100 desktop that came with Vista 32x preinstalled. I bought a ATI Radeon HD 4550 months ago that worked fine on Vista. I wanted to install Windows 7 64x Home Premium, so I bought a copy through Microsoft, created a boot disk, removed all non-original components (including graphics card), and did a clean install. I installed all my additional hardware and everything worked fine until my graphics card.
When I installed my graphics card, I downloaded the most up to date drivers (I got the link from this site), and rebooted. Upon reboot, my BIOS load, Windows starts to load, and then I get a blue screen. The blue screen flashes by so quick I can't read what they're saying. Then my computer restarts, and we start over again (blue screen cycle).
So I reconnected to the onboard gpu, and it started. Then I went into the Device manager, and uninstalled the old driver. Reinstalled my Radeon 4550, and current drivers, rebooted, nothing. Tried reinstalling windows 7, this time, removing old drivers first, than installing. Still nothing. This happens every time I enable the video card and then reboot.
I'm a noob so I've searched this site up and down. I've heard that maybe I need to update my BIOS. So I went to Acer.com to download the BIOs, and they don't have any listed for my PC.
With that said, I'm at my wits end. If anybody has any thoughts on what to do next, I truly appreciate it.
a few years ago i got a 5700 with windows vista 32 bit...playing an online game my frame rate was around 180...when I upgraded to win 7 ..ever since then the highest my frame rate is 60...times it drops into the teens..
It wont run in full screen always in middle. I tried messing with game options but it doesn't work for all games, I really need this fixed. I am using Radeon HD 5470. Windows 7 intel core i5 4gb ddr3 rams.
My son has a Toshiba Satelite P205 that he just upgraded from Windows XP Home Premium to Windows 7 32-bit. After the upgrade completed the computer booted fine. The within 20 minutes he got the BSOD and the system rebooted. Now he can't get Windows to fully start. We've tried all of the options from F8 with no success. We have the Toshiba System Recovery Disk but it won't launch. (The Boot sequence has been changed to boot from CD/DVD and then the Hard Drive.)The Memory Diagnostic from the Windows 7 disk ran fine with no errors. I'm thinking I might need to re-format/wipe the drive to start fresh but don't know where to obtain a boot CD(no floppy drive on this laptop). Does anyone recommend a software that I can purchase to clear everything without destroying the CD/DVD accessibility so I can then use the System Recovery Disk to put it back to the original factory Settings?
My computer has a problem with crashing while playing a video in full screen. When it crashes the screen turns black while the speakers give out a buzzing noise. Everything is unresposive the only solution is to turn it off with the power button. It happens in any full screen video online or offline and even visualizations from windows media player and iTunes, but only in full screen. I don't think it's overheating either because sometimes it takes 30 mins to crash and other times it will crash immediately when put in full screen. *I've tried setting it back to factory settings thus reinstalling windows. *All the directx features are working with no reported problem there.* I don't think it's a memory issue in the computer, as my specs are:
Windows 7 64-bit Processor: intel core i5 3.20 GHz Ram: 8 GB Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 Graphics card memory: 0.5 GB Any other ideas?
