Driver Issue, 8400M GS
Nov 28, 2009
My laptop [HP dv6000] wont recognize the 8400M GS, which it seems a lot of people are having trouble with. It shows i have a standard VGA card. Ive went through the forums, trying every solution that people have had.
The mobility modder didnt seem to do anything, i tried to use torrentg[i think was his handle]'s .inf fix for someone else, and tried just installing a few from the nvidia website. the result was about the same. It would install, say that hardware has changed, and would show my card in the VGA area, and i would restart and 2 things would happen.
A. It would go to the starting windows screen like its loading up, then go black and shut off. Then telling me to do system repair/restore.
B. It would load up like A. but instead of going black, it flashed red several times for a couple seconds then shut off going into system restore.
Any ideas?

I have a Sony vgnfz280e and it will not load Windows 7 due to the driver. Sony and Nvidia point to each other.

my notebook is Sony vaio sz7 and I used to work with a dual monitor. But after the installation of windows seven I can`t connect my NEC monitor. i think its because of the video driver. my video adapter is NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS but i can`t find a driver for 8M series for seven.

I'm using a Sony Vaio VGN-NR31Z/S laptop
OS: Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit and Windows 7 Ultimate (RC build 7100) 32bit (Dual Boot)
I'm currently having problems with my graphic card driver and the aero effects in windows 7. It wont allow me to install the driver or use the aero effects and that is a bummer for me. I really wanted to try it out.

I just installed windows 7 professional last night and when trying to personalize my theme, i realized that i couldn't change window color. It only gave me the contrast themes unlike in vista where i could choose the color and it would still look like vista. I'm not sure if that last sentence made much sense, but i hope you get the idea. I can still use the desktop backgrounds and sounds, but not the aero window colors.
When I go to device manager, the only graphics adaptor it shows is the standard VGA. When I had Vista I didn't have any problem. But now that I have Windows 7, the OS won't detect the graphics card. Is it not compatible with Windows 7? I saw another post with a fix for the 8400M GT, and was wondering if maybe there was hope for me.

A couple days ago, I installed Windows 7 (through MSDNAA).
I have a problem with some devices. The situation can be seen here:
I tried updating driver software through windows and it said it was unable to find drivers
I have no idea what the "Unknown Device" may be. The "Multimedia Video controller" I'm guessing is my Nvidia graphics card? The Mass Storage Device I think is my Magicgate memory card slot, but I'm not sure.
I have an Nvidia 8400M GT graphics card and judging by what I've seen on the resolution window (and device manager), I'm currently running on my standard VGA graphics device, and not my Nvidia.
I manually searched for the drivers for my graphics card off the Nvidia site, but every time I try to install it, I get this messege
]I've already tried reformatting and reinstalling windows 7, now I'm running out of ideas. Can anybody please help?
I'm using a Sony Vaio TP3 computer. It's a "desktop" with laptop components and was initially running on Vista.

i have a MSI notebook with Nvidia Geforce 8400M G.
i recently installed windows 7 professional (final version, not RC or beta), and discovered a serious problem: it doesn't recognize my Graphic card. instead it claims i have a "Standard VGA graphic adapter" (in dxdiag, device manager etc.). because of that i cant download any Nvidia drivers, cause the setup always says "Nvidia couldn't find a driver compatible with your hardware". that's, again, because windows 7 doesn't recognize my card.
i tried also uninstalling the VGA adapter from device manager, but after restarting it just installing it again.
is there anything i can do? should i wait for windows updates to come and fix my problem? i really don't want to install windows again. is my card not supported, is my Computer not supported?

I am using a Sony vaio laptop VGN-SZ75GN. I recently upgraded my windows vista business 32-bit to a windows 7 ulitmate 64-bit using a clean installation.
I have a external graphic card which is NVIDIA� GeForce� 8400M GS notebook graphics processing unit(GPU) (SPEED MODE) / Intel� Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (STAMINA MODE). After installing Windows 7, it couldn't detect the graphic card. This was done by looking at the device manager saying that it only detected a standard VGA Graphic Adapter. I tried to check for updates, but it said that the standard VGA Graphic Adapter was the best driver software. I looked around the forum like a headless chicken and couldn't find a solution for my laptop.
Can anyone find a solution for my problem?

My System:
Sony Vaio VGN-FZ38M
Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Nvidia Geforece 8400M GT
Drivers tried - 306.97
[Code].....
Red entries are my edits. As you can see in nvmt.ini I've copied the Section numbers from the previous entries, as in: %NVIDIA_DEV.0426.9005.104D% = Section006, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9005104D
I've had some limited success...
My system now sees the GPU as an Nvidia 8400M. So far so good. However I'm still getting error messages. Firstly, on reboot, the system stops the card because of driver problems. Secondly, if I run the Nvidia software, it says the monitor is not connected to an Nvidia card. Lastly, if I update the driver, it reverts to Standard VGA in the Device Driver list.
So, It looks as if I need to do more. My immediate thoughts are:
1) Should I be editing the nvmt.inf file, or perhaps another one - nvmm.ini or nvlt.in? How do I know which nv??.inf to edit?
2) In the nv??.inf file, I have no idea which 'section' to point at. I tried 11 and 12 as seen in another thread, but got the same issues. So I tried the same section entries as the next most similar card, but to no avail.

Okay so, my laptop's system is unable to boot, so I just tried to format it since I have to do that for a very long time, and when it asked me in which partition I want to install windows there was nothing, although when I clicked "Load Driver" I could access the hard disk's files, the hard disk IS listed in the bios normally but windows does not recognize it, I tried using Kaspersky Rescue disk(the only CD I had along with the recovery disk)and when I used the File Manager, the hard disk still didn't show, are there any drivers I have to install?I have burned both fujitsu9that's my laptop) and Seagate's websites and can't find anything, I have searched forums but the only answers were "check if your hd is listen in bios".So, i IS listed in bios but I can't reinstall windows nor access it

I have an Acer Aspire 7741z-4433 with an Intel(R) Pentium(R) p6200 (2.13 GHz, 3MB 1.3 cache). This only happens to me while I am playing The Sims 3. I have the game set on the lowest quality settings, even though my laptop "claims" to be HD LED, etc. This issue still happens. As you may know I cannot replace the graphics card as it is apart of the motherboard, and to buy a new motherboard with a better graphics card would cost more than a new computer. I have been the my manufacture's website and tried installing an update of the graphics card, and that didn't do the trick either. I am at my wits end, and I just want to play the game without it shutting down and freezing my computer. The reason I know the error is because I do Alt + Tab to get back to the desktop. The way it acts up while I am in game is the screen blacks out but I can still see the software's mouse, and then it blinks a couple times and then freezes completely?
