Intel HD 3000 driver

[AShah18]

I've a Dell inspiron N4050 laptop. It has an AMD HD 7400M graphics card and Intel HD 3000 as well. It was working great, until recently, I updated it's driver. I downloaded the genuine Intel HD 3000 driver from Intel's site. I used the auto detect utility because I wasn't sure about the driver. The installation went great and without any error , and at last, it asked me to restart my laptop for the new settings to take place. But, as soon as I restarted it, I get this blue screen error all the time, and I can't even work on my laptop. My laptop isn't even working properly and i cant play games as well. It doesn't work properly, except when I use it in Safe mode. I tried to download the driver from Dell's official website too and the same happened. Now, I removed the driver completely and the laptop is working properly, except I can't play any games or watch movies because of bad graphics and due to the absence of the driver. I tried installing it from many sources, but it just doesn't work. What should I do to make my laptop alright? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Processor: 2nd Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @2.50 Ghz

RAM: 4 GB Windows 7 Home basic 64 Bit

Please help me guys. Kindly give a working solution. Without the driver, my laptop's display is completely dull and doesn't work properly.

Thanks in advance,

Hello aayush.shah1,

It is important for me to say that our driver is generic software for OEM systems. For hybrid graphics computers, like yours, is necessary to install the driver from the Computer Manufacture first. This is because they design and create their own drivers that may include special features for their systems.

You can try our driver by downloading the latest driver at this link:

Hey Kevin,

I tried the link you sent and the ones available for my laptop on the dell website, but I still do get blue screen error. I can't use my laptop except when I've disabled the graphics driver or in the safe mode. How can I solve this? I can't play games and the screen is duller than it was before. Kindly help. Aayush
