Display Driver has stopped working

#1 Post by Greg Gebhardt » Sat Nov 14, 2009 8:29 am

After doing the Win7 upgrade from Lenovo, I got two problems. The display driver stops working for a few seconds every coiuple of minutes and the ATT WANN card from Ericson has no drivers.

Anyone else having simular problems.

Can someone point me to a plce with all the W500's latest drivers.

Here are the latest drivers. I see a Vodafone and AT&T - HSDPA wireless WAN driver there that's dated in October for W7 -

Edit: Greg, let me teach you a Google trick ... If you search for "w500 drivers lenovo" you'll get a link to the correct page. In fact that works for any Lenovo drivers...same with maintenance manuals.

Thanks for the help. Got the Ericson WANN running but am still getting a "AMD Display driver has stopped Working" about ever 10 minutes. i thought I was using a ATI Display driver. Have tried downloading the ATI driver but still getting the same error. :cry:

Do you have switchable graphics on the W500 and where did you download the driver from? Are your BIOS settings set to switchable or discrete?
