Aug 25, 2012I purchased motherboard with the manufacturer number of MB.G0409.005 (MB.G0409.005 GATEWAY MOTHERBOARD DESKTOP BOARD SOCKET AM2) on 2/3/12. I had put it into my system and then proceeded to install upgrades from the Gateway website. I saw there was a BIOS update (file: 924G1P11.ROM) available so I tried to update my BIOS. Well, after updating my BIOS with the .ROM file that I had gotten from their website [URL], but after that, the on board ATI graphics adapter is no longer working. I tried to contact Gateway with no luck and them telling me that they don't recommend updating the BIOS. I also tried to contact the place where I purchased the motherboard from and they said that they didn't have the original .ROM. The motherboard is also not listed on the Foxconn website either. I am running Windows 7 x64 Build 7601 and I have also tried using a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS live USB and that did not work as well. As far as I can tell, the BIOS will not even recognize it. I am now currently using a NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 graphics card that is plugged into the 16x PCI-E slot. I have found modified .ROM files that someone had done for this motherboard, but I don't want to risk it. And every forum and post I've come across has dead links to ones that someone has made a copy of the .ROM file and uploaded from their motherboard.
My system is a Gateway DX4300-15e with 6 gb's of DDR2 RAM (originally 8 gb's of RAM, but a 2 gb stick blew out from a power surge, hence why I had to get a new motherboard) with a AMD Phenom II x4 970 Black Edition Deneb 3.5GHz Socket AM3 processor.
Playing High Graphics Games Without Graphics Card?
Feb 9, 2012i have heard a lot of my friends saying that they are unable to play high resolution and high definition games on their pc and told that they are on a low budget to buy a graphics card.here is a solution for that:there is a software named 3-d analyzer available in the internet which acts as a virtual graphics card for playing games. you can enter the graphic card needed from the 4 available graphic cards available and then you can get the attributes of that graphic card..if fine tuned,you can play games at the range of a 128mb ram virutal graphic card on your non graphic card pc. note:graphic intensive games,that requires atleast 512mb of graphics memory can't be played through 3d analyzer if you don't have a graphic card,but you can try running it if you have a 256/128 mb card. steps for using the 3-d analyzer software, *first download the file from here, *then extract that software and open the software, *then,select the exe file of the game that you want to run, *choose the select option, *then you can choose the attributes the options you require to play the game,*the attributes may be pixel shader or disable rendering in the game or emulation or some other options specified, *then,enter the device id and the vendor id for the graphics card you need from the available graphics card on the right.*i would suggest the ati radeon 9800pro to run most of the games like fifa 08/09 or prince of persia two thrones/sands of time, *then choose the run option and then i assure that the game would run for you at a decent/playable speed. note:1.if it shows any error that a file is not found pls reinstall the software.2.if the screen turns black/blank then play with the options in the s/w, by trial and error method,if fortunate,may be,you'll be able to run your favorite game.3.if pixel shader/shader version x.x not found,then select the appropriate shader model and run the game. all the best..happy gaming..if any queries post it below.how to: use 3d analyzer video at Internet

Horizontal Adjustment For Onboard Intel Graphics LCD TV
Aug 13, 2010so I have a low profile Dell computer in the living room hooked up to an LG LCD TV. It did have an ATI graphics card which used the PCIe slot, and a USB stick for wireless internet. The wireless stick wasn't working great so I've just got a wireless card installed, however it also uses PCIe and there is only one slot. As the computer is not being used for games, the wireless card is much more valuable to have in the slot.When I had the ATI card in there though I could use CCC to adjust the screen over slightly (there is about an inch cut off on the left side of the screen). It is not a spanning/stretching issue, merely just needs a nudge to the left and it will all be good.I have just installed Intel Control Center, but when I click on monitor/tv settings it says that they are not supported.There is no option to adjust this in the Windows 7 display options either, so I'm not quite sure what else to try.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBSOD With Install Of Intel Graphics Driver Or Install Of Graphics Card
Jul 19, 2012I've completed a new custom build, but have had problems with BSOD from the beginning with any installation of Intel Graphics drivers or the installation of any graphics card.
When I first completed the build, the XFX-7950 Black was installed. I booted to BIOS without issue, but when I inserted the Windows 7 (64 bit) it would boot through the windows logo screen but immediately BSOD right after going to the first install screen.
I removed the graphics card, and was able to complete the full Windows install without issue. I updated Windows and the drivers on the system but as soon as I installed the Intel 3000 Graphics driver, it would BSOD on every restart. I recovered back prior to the Graphics driver install and installed all other drivers. I updated the BIOS to the latest version.
I have reattempted the XFX 7950 multiple times in different slots, but with the same results. I also attempted my Radeon HD 4550 from my old computer but it gave the same results. It always boots through the Windows logo screen, but BSOD within a few seconds of reaching the password screen.
I broke down and installed Driver Whiz, which did detect multiple outdated drivers that I had not caught, but none of these fix the issues.
I've attached the requested zip. I don't think all BSOD's are showing up, as I've had to use recovery points after installed drivers didn't work. The last .dmp on 19 JUL was a Intel Graphics driver install attempt that I pulled off in safe mode before recovering back to the pre-driver point.
System:
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro/GEN 3
Intel 2600K
XFX R7950 Black Edition
OCZ 850W
Crucial 128 GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HD
Corsair H100
Windows 7 64 bit (full)

Notebook Doesn't Switch Graphics Modes
Feb 20, 2012I have the following notebook.
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Proffesional x64. I used the Asus CD to install all Asus stuff. Even the ones I don't need.
My notebook as two graphics cards. The default Intel Onboard card and the more powerful 1GB nVidia GeForce GT425M 1GB video card. Before the upgrade (which was a clean install) when I played a game (left 4 dead2, call of duty: black ops) the notebook automatically switched from the Intel to the Nvidia graphics card. But it doesn't anymore. I have read that my notebook used Nvidia Optimus technology to do this.

Jun 16, 2012I recently upgraded from XP to Win 7 Ultimate 32bit. I have always had two graphics cards - NVIDIA GeForce 7025 and AMD Radeon HD4300/4500 with the latter used to feed via HDMI cable to my Plasma TV.Since the upgrade, the AMD card appears to be the default card and any attempt to run the NVIDIA Control Panel results in a warning that "You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU".
The PC functions okay but I've lost a number of controls I was familiar with via NVIDIA and I may also be losing performance too. How do I get back to where I was under XP when NVIDIA was the main card ?

Jun 15, 2011I haven't posted on here for a while because I've been taking a break from my computer and playing LOTRO which was causing me occasional bsod's which were really getting me down. I took a break from LOTRO for around 6 months and not once did I get a bsod on my computer despite my husband and son playing other games on my computer.I've recently come back to LOTRO since the new update of migrating to the US servers to see how it would run on my computer and to see if the bsod's returned. They did and the new update hasn't changed a thing. Each time I get the bsod my graphics card is named as the cause of the culprit.I have a Dual GPU and I found that AMD says this. Quote.For The Ultimate Visual Experience, be sure to select ATI CrossFireX ready motherboards for AMD and Intel processors and multiple ATI Radeon HD graphics cards. Now I've done a search and it looks like my motherboard - Gigabyte GA-770T-USB3 -isn't Crossfire ready.Before I take the plunge and buy a crossfire ready motherboard, would having a Dual GPU cause problems if my motherboard isn't crossfire ready? Or would it not make a difference as I've only got the one card? I've downloaded the profiles for the ATI drivers for Crossfire/dual GPU's but I haven't installed it yet, as I'm not sure whether because my motherboard isn't Crossfire ready it's going to cause further conflict and even more problems when I'm playing LOTRO.I didn't realize that when I got the graphics card that it was a dual GPU

Jun 30, 2011I tried to update my ATI driver and uninstalled the old ones first. When I went to download the new drivers, it said it "The version of your graphics adapter is not supported." I went to check in Device Managers, and now under Display Adapters it no longer lists my ATI HD 5650 graphics card, neither does dxdiag (which i ran a week earlier and it did detect the graphics card). Also, 'Standard VGA Graphics adapter' has a yellow "!" but when I tried to update the drivers for it, it says I already have the most recent ones but still has the "!".

Aug 16, 2009Quote: AMD set to release DirectX 11 graphics card
The launch of AMD's DirectX 11 graphics card will coincide with Microsoft's Windows 7 launch in October
Advanced Micro Devices will soon launch a graphics card that supports Microsoft's DirectX 11, which aims to make graphics in Windows 7 seem smoother and more realistic.
The release of AMD's first DirectX 11 graphics card would coincide with the launch of Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7, AMD spokesman John Taylor said on Thursday.
The DirectX 11 graphics card will belong to the ATI Radeon line, but Taylor declined further comment on product details or pricing.
The graphics card maker has been demonstrating an ATI Radeon graphics card with DirectX 11 support since June, but has not made a specific product announcement yet.
Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 has built-in support for new DirectX 11 tools, but there is no hardware available yet that supports those tools. With the new card, AMD will beat rival Nvidia to market.
Nvidia has also said it would support DirectX 11, but has not yet made a product announcement. Intel, which mostly offers integrated graphics on chipsets, in June released updated graphics drivers for Windows 7, but offered support for only DirectX 10.
The DirectX 11 tools include a set of APIs for realistic images and better sound when playing games or watching movies. For example, game developers will be able to create smoother and realistic images in a game through better three-dimension modelling.
Most of the discrete graphics cards support existing DirectX 10 and 10.1 tools, which are built into Windows Vista.
DirectX 11 tools are also designed to help Windows 7 recognize multicore systems to improve performance of graphics and other applications.
A feature called "Compute Shader" harnesses the parallel processing capabilities of GPUs (graphics processing units) to improve gaming on PCs. These improvements could make games more realistic through faster frame rates.
The tools also help break up multiple tasks effectively over existing CPU and GPU cores. For example, DirectX 11 will enable video conversion on the fly simply by dragging and dropping video from PCs to portable devices. Read more at the forums...
