Sony :: NVIDIA Ge Force 8600M GT 256 MB

Jan 5, 2010

I have a VGN-AR51SU with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB And unable to get a driver for Windows 7 64 bit version.

I have downloaded the driver from NVidia but it does not load they say that I have to get the driver from Sony, Sony do not want to know,

Which I am very disappointent with as I always rated there equipment as the best, this will be my last Sony product as they do not help there customers after sales.

Dell :: Nvidia GeForce GO 8600M GT 256MB

Mar 24, 2009

My new laptop has the Nvidia GeForce GO 8600M GT 256MB graphics card in it according to the Dell listing.

I can find mention of Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT 256MB without the word GO in the title all over the net and it doesn't look to bad.

So I'm wondering, is the word GO in the title of my card suggesting that perhaps I have a down scaled version / cheaper version or are they the same thing and same performance?

Dell :: M1530 Nvidia Geforce 8600m GT (256mb Ddr3) Just Isn't Powerful Enough..

Jul 7, 2009

Fair enough my hdd is only 5200rpm not 7k+ but 4gb ram and 2.4 intel core duo my FPS in WOW can drop to like 5 and thats with lowest gfx settings.

Beaware WOW has developed and a new add-on came out last year with better graphics...

I don't know what to do I love the portability of M1530 but the GFX side of things seems . I know its only a mid ranged gaming/performance laptop but its a shame you cannot upgrade it...

Anyone know any alterative laptops with like double gfx performance with same portability

Dell :: Any Way To Force Wireless To Connect To G Over B?

Feb 17, 2009

I have a Dell Precision M4400 with the 1510 wireless card. I have a question regarding my wifi card.

My school's wifi only shows up as one access point in the connection manager, but if I scan for wireless signals it shows several channels. The problem I am having is it seems quite random, depending on the signal strength I am guessing, my laptop connects to one of the B channels instead of the G ones.

If I go to the Driver Properties in the Device Manager, I can force it to choose A first, but not G instead B. Does anyone know a workaround to make it choose G first instead of B/G? Also,

I hate installing any Dell software that is not necessary, specially the Dell Wifi connection software since it's 300+ MB install, but does anyone who does use it know if it would allow me to specify G over B?

Dell Vostro 1450 :: How To Force BIOS Re-flash

Jan 22, 2013

I have an Vostro 1450, already at the latest available BIOS (A08).  I have a problem which might be fixed by re-flashing the BIOS.  However the BIOS upgrade utility (V1450A08.EXE)  detects that I'm already at the latest version and sensibly refuses to "update".  Is there a way I can force the upgrade utility to re-flash the BIOS?

Dell :: Force Enable S-video In M1530 (GeForce 6800M GT)

Feb 13, 2009

First, I am Maarten Klok, a Dutchman who likes to share dell-knowledge with you Americans! I've read a lot on this forum, and I think some of you knows a solution to my stupid little problem:

My M1530 has a 7-pin S-video output which should work with my little composite adapter (it does with other laptops). The GeForce 8600M GT video driver only enables the S-video when he detects there is a device attached to it. Is it possible to force-enable the S-video-output so my composite output will work?

Acer Aspire S3-951 :: Screen Broken - Force HDMI Output

Oct 13, 2014

Aspire S3. The PC is perfectly fine, except the fact the the screen is broken. It already broke twice (just by opening...), so we are not spending money on a third one.So, what I want to do is to connect it to an external monitor through HDMI (and possibly remove the broken screen, since it has no use). I can do it in Windows, but not outside Windows (BIOS) and I'd like install Windows 8.1 or 10. So my question is: can I force output from boot into HDMI? If so how, if not, what alternatives do I have to install a new version of Windows without spending a small fortune?

Dell Precision M6700 :: Won't Wake From Sleep - (ASF2 Force Off) In BIOS Log

Jan 15, 2013

I have a Precision m6700 that I'm trying to install OS X Mountain Lion on.  The biggest problem I have at the moment is that the laptop won't wake from sleep.

It goes to sleep okay.  With the slowly pulsating light on the power button, but when I try and wake it up the machine goes into a loop of trying to start and then turning itself off after a few seconds.   I suspect it's something to do with ASF and Intel Management Engine getting confused by OSX.  Or OSX not doing something it needs to before the machine enters sleep.   In the bios log I see 'ASF2 force off' events that match the time and frequency of the wake attempts. How do I find out what is generating these alerts?

Alternatively, is there any way to turn ASF or Intel Management Engine off? There is a yellow sticker in the battery bay that says 3 ME DISABLED.  From what I've read elsewhere this indicates that the Intel Management Engine is permanently turned off on this laptop. Why it's generating ASF alerts at all!?    

I've also trying the CCTK tool with --asfmode=off.  This reports that asfmode isn't available on this laptop.

Dell Latitude E5430 :: Can Force BIOS Update If Laptop Battery Is Bad?

Jan 21, 2015

I'm trying to update the BIOS on a latitude E5430.  When I try to run the file it provides an error that states the machine needs to be plugged in and battery connected.  Both are true.  However the battery LED blinks orange.  A new battery has been ordered but with the most cost effective shipping it could be a week or two until it arrives.  Laptop runs fine when plugged in and that is the way it is used normally anyway.

On a desktop computer you wouldn't require a UPS with good battery to flash a bios, so why would you require that on a laptop if it is plugged in?  I am familiar with the plugged in requirement and that makes sense, and the laptop is plugged in.

Is there a command switch such as 5430A15.exe /force or something similar to brute force the BIOS to install?

Dell :: Precision M4300 Installed The NVIDIA Drivers For The NVidia Quadro FX 360M ...

Dec 29, 2008

I recently got a Dell Precision M4300 from a friend and had a few questions.

When i got the laptop, I reformatted the Laptop and Reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP2. I proceeded from Microsoft to Update to SP3 and so on.

Well I also Went to Dell's Website and downloaded all the necessary drivers (using the service tag) for this laptop and installed them.

Now here is where I ran into a problem,

When I installed the NVIDIA drivers for the NVidia Quadro FX 360M video card, everything seemed to go fine. Then I rebooted the Laptop, and now every time I reboot, my hardware acceleration is defaulted back to None, and it gives me multiple pop ups about this issue. I go into the settings and turn the Acceleration back to full and it goes away.

This is a major problem, and is really frustrating to deal with everytime the laptop is booted up.

My other problem, is when I open up Internet Explorer, It tends to lock up the browser for no reason when Loading a website. I then CTRL+ALT+DEL and attempt to close iexplore.exe via the task manager. It closes the browser but does not shut down the browser, making it impossible to browse, so then I have to reboot.

here are the specs of the PC, from the device manager and drivers I have gotten

Dell Precision M4300
NVidia Quadro FX 360M 512mb Video Graphics Card
TSST 8x dvd+-R burner
120GB Hard Drive
3.5GB of Ram
2.5GHZ T9300 Core 2 Duo Processor
1394 Port
2 USB ports
External Monitor Ports
Wifi Support
Bluetooth Support
Windows XP SP2 Pro

From what I know a fast Nvidia card+ 3D Glasses + 120HZ MONITOR= Nvidia 3D vision for 3D gaming.

My question is has anyone tried outputiing to a 120hz compatible monitor via HDMI and the glasses and see if this worked?

Would be cool if the Z could.

If so, I would probably get the glasses and a compatible monitor.

Sony :: Fz21m - Hdd Memory Or Nvidia

Mar 1, 2010

I have a problem with my FZ21M and need to narrow down the faulty component.
Purchased from amazon uk in feb 08 and have had no problems at all with it.
Haven't used it in a few months and has been safely stored.

Last week I booted it up and all was fine but in the course of installing many microsoft updates it hung and after powering down would not boot into windows.

I used the recovery software and got it back up and running. Checking the hard disk took forever with many errors. Still, seemed ok but then froze again on windows update .....

Sony :: SZ58 GN/C Nvidia Driver

Dec 11, 2009

Is almost close to a year now, I have not been able to fix up my drivers and get my SPEED mode to work nor install any Geforce drivers.

I have look around the web alot for solutions and being cautious (not to damage the notebook) I rarely try anything out.

When first bought end of dec'07, it was running well the first few months till the fan made rattling noise as if the whole notebook didn't had a screw in every hole and was going to fall apart.

I send it to SONY service centre couple of times to get it fix and finally the fan issue was gone till I had a BSOD somewhere in mid'08 and all hell break lose from here on

Sony :: Updating Nvidia Disaster On FZ

Aug 26, 2009

Found new GPU driver on Sony support site, followed the instructions , wish it was in English not Engrish, the instructions were somehow inconsistent,l proceeded with it anyway, system restarted.

The result is blank, black display and I have no clue how to proceed. I supposed after uninstalling the driver, Windows will restart with default driver then I could install the new Nvidia.

I hoped using the Recovery disc can help restart, but it only repairs defective boot nothing else/ there is 0 error there.

Sony :: Vaio + NVIDIA + Windows 7

Apr 21, 2010

I own a Sony Vaio Laptop, VGN-FZ21M. This laptop comes with a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT GPU Graphics card.

Originally, the laptop came with Windows Vista. I had no problems there. Once Windows 7 came out, I upgraded. Problems started there, with Windows not recognizing my video card correctly. It was displayed not as NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT, but as a Standard VGA Graphic Adapter.

At the time, the problem was more or less easily solved. I downloaded the drivers from NVIDIA, but I wasn't able to do a direct install (an error would occur). So I updated the Graphic card manually, by browsing the disk and chosing the nvmt.inf file that came within the drivers given by NVIDIA on their website, as the file to update my Graphic card with.

This worked out perfectly. My Graphic card was updated and working as great as ever.

However, more recently, I decided to format my laptop, and give it a clean Windows 7 install. I did this because my laptop was giving some graphical weirdies. I thought a format would solve it. It didn't.................
