graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Graphics card information.

Hi David,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

The error might occur if the Graphic card is cannot update the driver automatically.

I suggest you to update the graphic card manually by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device manager.
• Expand Display Driver from the list.
• Right click on the Graphic driver and select
  update driver software.

Also, can download the latest version of the graphic card from the manufacturer website.

Hope the information is helpful. Please revert back with the necessary information and we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Intell HD Graphics only support DX 10, even with DX 11 installed?

You can find out what version of DX (DirectX) your GPU runs by right clicking the Start button, and in the Run box, type "DXDIAG" without the quotes. You should get this box....





The Display tab will show your card and driver version....




And yes, even though Windows 10 is DX12 capable, you'll need the trifecta of DX12 to run in DX12 Mode. In other words in order for a game to run in DX12 mode the game, OS, and GPU must be DX12 capable. If any of these items are lower that DX12, the DX mode will run in one of the three's lowest setting. I.E. your GPU and OS is 12, but the game is 9... you'll be running in DX9 mode.
