Intel HD Graphics Fullscreen games = Black screen

HGami — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 23:06:40 GMT

Hi guys

I have a little problem with my Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics card:

Every single game I play that has fullscreen just goes black with music playing. (Sometimes I can see the cursor but it cannot move)

For example: I can't play Cube, Counter Strike, Papers Please, Saints Row : The Third, Saints Row IV etc...

But for games that are windowed I have no problem.

And the problem is that in a majority of games, option to deactivate fullscreen is... IN THE GAME.

So i'm stuck with a bunch of games that can't run properly.

I am on Windows 8.1, on a Toshiba Satelitte C870 - 15K that came in with Windows 7

Intel Core i3

6GB of RAM

500GB hard drive (450GB Availble for the user / 372GB left on my hard drive)

I have updated all my drivers manually and with the Windows Auto Driver Scan.

Any help would be appreciated,

Heezer.

Hi Heezer,

I am sorry to hear you are having this problem but let me help you with that.

Based on your description, I recommend you to update the graphics driver in your system. Here is the download link:

If during the installation you get an error/ notification message please try the manual driver installation. Here you have the steps:

Besides upgrading the graphics driver, it is important to update the BIOS and Management Engine provided by the computer manufacture.
