    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.

  3. 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.

    graphics card not showing up after downgrading to windows 10 on laptop

    My DirectX 11 Graphic card was downgraded to DirectX 10

    I trying to fix and restore my laptop's Radeon ™ HD 4500 DirectX 11 graphic card

    which has been downgraded to "DirectX 10" by default from Windows 7 into 10.

    I went to see whether I could download a driver from AMD but my HD 4500 card isn't in the list of supported card for

    Windows 10. This is just ridiculous, as now I'm having trouble & eventually

    not being able to play a game I want. So much for update.

    It's not like my graphics isn't able to run DirectX 11, it's stated right infront of me

    that it is DirectX 11 right at the original sticker still stuck on my computer.
