Intel 4000 help

Hey guys,

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and a Sager 9150 laptop. I have tried updating my graphics on the Intel 4000 many times with various drivers (including the latest on 9/11) and I can never find a stable version that will startup correctly or play in games without crashing. The only version of drivers that are stable on my laptop are the Intel 2932 drivers. I have the AMD 7970M with switchable graphics and the latest driver that will run in conjunction with the 2932 is the AMD 13.4. What sucks is I can't disable switchable graphics to always run the AMD drivers but I was just wondering if anyone has a solution so I can install the latest drivers and they run stable? Most the times when I try to startup the Intel graphics options it crashes on me. Thanks for the help.

Robert

Hi F16wannabe,

It is important to say that Intel® provides the hardware to the computer manufactures and they will design and create their own software for specific units. Since your computer runs with switchable graphics it uses a custom and special driver developed by the computer manufacturer only.

 

From our side, I can provide the latest graphics driver for your unit that can be downloaded at the following link:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23106&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(64-bit)*&DownloadType=Drivers https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23106&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(64-bit)*&DownloadType=Drivers

I would also recommend you updating the other drivers such us the Management Engine and the Bios in your computer.
