Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 problems after reinstaling windows

ILabe — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 07:49:48 GMT

Hi!

I have encountered serious problems after I had to format my HDD because my Windows 8 (OEM) ha

d gone corrupt and nothing helped me on reinstalling it...

So i installed my old Windows 7 but now i face serious problems with my graaphic cards and there drivers..

I have a Acer Aspire V3-571G V2.15 which had pre-installed W8 but now it has W7.

Before i reinstalled I had:

Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 [Display adapter]

NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M [Display adapter]

Generic PnP Monitor (15,3"vis)

But now with the same diagnostic tool I have:

Standard VGA Graphics Adapter [Display adapter] (2x)

Generic PnP Monitor (15,3"vis)

What have I tried:

I tried to install latest drivers for the Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 but it always says that my Laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirements...

I tried to install latest NVIDIA GeForce driver for my main video card but the instalation stops and says that I need to instal Intel@ drivers...

So it's a closed loop:

My Pc doesn't recognize my NVIDIA card as a difirent card from Intel one and I cant update any drivers for neither of them...

Any help will be highly appriciated! I have spent ~20h trying to fix/reinstall my windows and this problem with the driverrs is just killing me now...

P.S.

Any tips on other intel drivers are welcome as the Laptop didn't come with any instalation discs (guess that what you get if you buy a pre-installed Laptop from a e-store Q_Q)

Hi Ojars,

I am sorry to hear you are having problems with the unit but let me help you with that.

Please note that the drivers we provide are generic drivers for OEM systems so you may encounter this error message when trying to install the driver. However, you can try with the manual driver installation and in that way it should work just fine. Here you have the steps for the manual driver installation:

In regards the driver for the Nvidia card, I recommend you either contacting the computer manufacture or NVidia so they can provide the drivers specifically designed for your unit.

Problem resolved itself.

It seems I was too sleepy, when i stopped updating my PC last night, to notice the fact windows updater was turned off and needed some update to start updating my pc...

Anyways, after I turned auto updates on and it downloaded 147 updates (including Graphic card updates from Intel) my Pc started recognizing the NVIDIA card. In result I could manually update it with the latest driver.
