Due to the problems i reported in june with one of the pre-instaled programs (Skype) causing a BSOD, and the newest drivers for the laptop being very outdated, i have tried a lot of things trying to update my GPU drivers. After the issue was temporarily fixed (neither skype, nor sonix who turned out to have supplied the faulty driver, nor hp have done anything to actually solve it permanently) the system seemed to work normally.
However lately i've been noticing a lot of overheating, and applications running at substandard speeds, so i wanted to check on my gpu. As it turns out the device manager does not see the dedicated ATI Mobility GPU at all, and instead had been using the "powersaving" Intel GPU.
I tried reinstalling the original switchable graphics system from the HP site, because i suspected something might have been disabled there, as CCC was not available any more, but any attempted driver update from the SP53404 package fails to install the drivers for the ATI GPU.
How can i get my GPUs and drivers reset to default conditions?

I cannot get certain types of audio output through either my headphones or my onboard speakers, even though all of my speakers are functioning correctly.
My headphones are connected through a USB device and my speakers are built into the laptop. Things that will play are System Sounds, Audio Configuration Tests, and the occasional youtube video for a reason I cannot identify.
Beyond that, there is no sound output. However, I have confirmed that both my onboard speakers and my headphones are working correctly.
I have performed a reboot, am in the middle of a malware scan, and checked all of my volume controls to make sure nothing has been accidentally muted. I still have yet to try uninstalling the driver and a system restore.
The only thing that changed on my PC before the problem occurred was connecting it to a TV via HDMI cable. In that instance, all audio was correctly rerouted to the TV speakers.
I installed the latest dell connnection manager, but the wifi-catcher switch is still not functional. Has dell abandoned this feature or am i missing something?
I have this thing running on Windows 8.1. My problem is, if I hit a key, there's a delay before the touchpad and buttons become functional again. My brother suggested not making the mouse disappear when typing, but that didn't work. Is it possible to change this or is it just how it is?
Ive had the laptop about two weeks and honestly, do not know how this happened, but the keyboard on the laptop stopped working 2 days ago. A USB keyboard does not work either. The on screen keyboard is the only way to use this laptop now. Steps I have taken to resolve the issue that have not worked are
1. unplugging of all peripherals, powered it off, disconnected the power cord and removed the battery and let it sit for a minute, then powered it back up with no peripherals and nothing, no change. 2. system refresh did nothing to bring the keyboard back. 3. uninstalled keyboards in device manager and rebooted to nothing from the keyboard.
It seems odd that the on screen keyboard is the only keyboard option that works, does the onscreen keyboard have an override that prevents any other type of keyboard from working while it is enabled? i get the vibe that the use of the onscreen keyboard is at the root of this issue, and the touchpad mouse has remained functional, its just the keyboard
I've purchased a HP Pavilion 15-n011tu Notebook. I'm unable to install display driver for WIndows 8 (64bit). I've tried all 3 drivers given on HP site.

I am running Win 8.1 x64 (up-to-date) on HP Pavilion 1322TX laptop. There are Intel HD Graphics 3000 and ATM Radeon HD 7450M two graphic cards as the device manager window. Recently I am getting blue screens and later message appear saying the ATM driver stopped working. I found many problems with this driver in the past as well. When I check the relevent page for my laptop model, there is no update since 2012..
Can I update these two drivers seperately by getting updates from Intel and AMD sites?
Is there any update for catalyst control system (CCC) ?
When I try to update through the CCC or HP Support Assist, it is always no updates..

I found this thread in the forum URL.... which another was having the same problem I'm having. The only difference is that I'm using HP Pavilion G7 with Windows 7.
The monitor on my HP Pavilion dv9830us laptop has not been working for some time and I have had to use an external CRT monitor for my display. A couple nights ago, my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 10.04) failed to load and because I can't get video feed to my external monitor until the video drivers on Ubuntu loads, I am unable to run Ubuntu's repair feature and the beginning of boot.
Is there a way I can get my laptop to use my external monitor at all times, even at the BIOS screen? Is there a setting in BIOS for this?
I noticed the display automatically adjust its brightness when I open different webpages with different color background, which I'd rather it not do. How to disable this dynamic adjustment?
I have a pavilion dv6 6190se and I cant find an update of display driver in HP support and when i download the update from AMD site it doesn't work. the latest update on this site is v8.882 and i doesn't support win8 and it goes back to 2011-11-18. is there any way to update it?
One of our employees has an HP Pavilion G6 laptop. He uses an external display at work but has to keep the screen of the laptop open. If he closes the screen, then the video to the external display is power off.
What are the settings to allow the laptop screen to be closed and still be able to get video to an external display.
My screen is no longer good so im trying to connect a external display.Been trying for hours trying to get the external display to work of boot.Ive tryed everything changing 2 sets of hd cables and svga cables. The function key. The Laptop does recognize the display but seems to go into powersave mode or something.The only way i can get the external display to work is if i pull the battery and wait a bit then power up the display will work with a notice on the screen that cmos will be reset to defaults then restarts and back to where i was again.Pavilion dm4-1160us.

I went to the Control Panel > Systems and Security > Power Options - Choose when to turn off display, for Battery and Plugged in I set to 20 minutes. As long as I'm active with the keyboard or mouse I'm fine but if I'm just reading or studying something on the screen, without any activity, the display will shut down in a minutes time, which is very irritating. Is there something else I need to do to keep my display on for a longer period of time?
I've been patient, I've been calling Dell, but my problems with the laptop are still there. I was wondering if there's chance to have a 1535 or 1537 w/o any troubles. I'll list mine:
I have a HP Pavilion dv5 laptop which is just over a year oldand seems to have developed a serious display problem since I bought it.
I have only started using the HDMI port on this model since around october and notice I often get a terrible bug when using it.
i can be watching somethin gon a monitor via hdmi or simply have something connected to it and at random the screens (laptop and external) flicker on and off. I get the popup speech bubble style error in the taskbar saying a "Device Driver has Stopped Working"
Sometimes it recovers but most of the time the screen crashes as does any audio or anything else playing and a scattered mixed up mess of a screen gets locked into view. The only thing i can do then is restart the device.

I dont know how or what driver I need to replace or how to fix this.

I was using my HP Pavilion g7 the other day, while gaming and the screen went black for no appairent reason. i haven't down loaded anything recently and i run virus software.
We went to the HP support web site and went through several diagnotics. When the laptop is rebooted the screen on the laptop will flash images of my desk top but once the machine boots up the screen remains blank. you can see the glow from around the edges but that is it. I have another monitor plugged in currently and the system is functioning propertly except for this. We have also done the following, hard reset,Test for memory modual problems, test the hard drive. I was also trying to update the video drivers but the system tells me the drivers are working properly.
I have an hp pavilion dv6. It was purchased at the end of 2010. My computer teens to get hot a little quicker than normal. It had overheated a couple times, but not recently.I recently went on a road trip and when I got back my computer screen won't turn on. While I was away, I took the bottom plastic screen off and put it back on (one of the sides had come loose and a tab was sticking out). I also tightened all the screws on the main cover on the bottom because some had come loose.When I got home and tried to turn my laptop on, the screen wouldn't turn on. I can hear the fan turn on. The light indicating the wifi was on, but showing that it was off- and it was on when I last used my computer. Also, the capslock light is blinking. I don't hear any sound from the speakers or anything like that. I tried hooking it up to a projector but never got a signal. I tried unplugging it and removing the battery and holding the power button for 30 seconds but nothing changed when I tried turning it back on.

I'v gotten this laptop awhile back and i think this the first i've used bluray and it's not working. Updates are shown as updated. When I place the bluray disc in it states "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disc was created in a manner that the Player does not support." What do i need to do? I am still learning how to use my laptop.
