Windows not recognizing NVidia GeForce 8400M GT

[nokstar]

TorrentG,

I have been having the same listed problems listed before. I have tried to remedy this problem for the past 3 months myself by following other threads, advice, etc but have had no luck. I am able to force drivers to accept but it causes the video drive to fail constantly. So I apologize for having to resort to ask you for help, but I have no other choice unless I just resort back to Vista 32bit.

My laptop is a Sony Vaio VGN-AR550U.
My OS is Windows 7 Home 64bit
my Video card details are:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D&REV_A1
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0426&CC_0300

I noticed earlier in this thread someone with the exact same ID (or so I thought) but it attempted to load Nvidia GeForce 9600, when my card should be a 8600m.

Like I said before, I was desperately trying to avoid having to bug you for help, but I am out of options. I am on leave at home now from my overseas station and all I want now is a half working laptop lol.

Thanks again in advance for any help or advice you can provide.

No luck, the version that was installed was 32bit version of Vista Ultimate. To embrace the full use of 4+ GB of ram I went for Windows 7 64 bit. Any version I try to get from Sony will be a 32 bit Windows driver

See my sig for 64 bit Sony drivers.

Hi and welcome

You have posted on a long dead thread. Usually it is better to start your own as you will get lots more help if you do.

In terms of the PCI info take the clipped date and plug it into google. you will be shown the mfr and can go there to get the driver necessary for your cord/chipset.

let us know if you need additional help with installing the driver.

Hi i have a sony vaio VGN-FZ21M and im having big tie trouble with installing my videocard driver i tried allot of them and they all say they don't find the proper hardware or that im running in windows 7 instaid of windows vista. Anyhelp with a driver would be awsome.

 

[Nikkeli]

Go over to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers and choose Geforce, then Geforce 8M series (notebooks) and then your system and you should receive correct drivers.

Remember always to download drivers for nvidia from nvidia's site, and for ati from ati/amd's site, and for intel chipsets use intel's site, that way you are sure to get right up-to-date drivers.

[Nikkeli]

Well, that's exactly what i mean, don't use any other sites, they might give correct drivers but may be out of date.

Your chipset is intel PM965 which means if you need updates for that you should go http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx?iid=gg_support-EN_01+home_downloadctr
and find chipset driver or some sort for PM965.

edit: no offense though

Actually Theog is right. For Laptop drivers you should use the OEM website not the Chipset manufacturors. OEM's change the drivers slightly, and it causes incompatibilitys. Often websites won't even let you download the generic drivers if it detects you have a laptop
