Dreaded driver issue, 8400M GS[common it seems]
Hey guys im new here, first time poster:
My laptop [HP dv6000] wont recognize the 8400M GS, which it seems a lot of people are having trouble with. It shows i have a standard VGA card. Ive went through the forums, trying every solution that people have had. The mobility modder didnt seem to do anything, i tried to use torrentg[i think was his handle]'s .inf fix for someone else, and tried just installing a few from the nvidia website. the result was about the same. It would install, say that hardware has changed, and would show my card in the VGA area, and i would restart and 2 things would happen.
A. It would go to the starting windows screen like its loading up, then go black and shut off. Then telling me to do system repair/restore.
B. It would load up like A. but instead of going black, it flashed red several times for a couple seconds then shut off going into system restore.
Any ideas? Here is some info about my pc to help out
