My computer went into sleep but this time would not come out. The computer would not come out of sleep via the keyboard or mouse movement. I had to power the computer off by unplugging it to get it powered back up. When I powered back up my monitor screen now has huge icons obviously something is wrong with my graphics.
Everything else seems to be fine. I went to device manager and looked at my display adapter and my computer has disabled my graphics card driver: NVIDEA GeForce 8500 GT which explains why my screen resolution is now: 640 X 480 (4 bit 1 HZ). Yeah it’s unsightly.
This device in the device manager is yellow and disabled. The error I get is Windows stopped device because of problems (code 43).
I have tried to roll back the driver, find a driver update (which is says it’s up to date), system restore to previous dates (the issue still remains) Nothing seems to work. I cannot seem to enable this driver. When I uninstall the driver the computer re-installs automatically but the problem still persists.
When I go check: Control Panel> Personalization> Display Settings all I see is:
Monitor Tab: Default Monitor is on, Colors: Lowest (4 bit), Resolution: 640 by 480 pixels. On the advanced tab for the Adapter Type and Information all fields say (unavailable). My graphics card (physical) is not listed anywhere.
My graphics card (physical) is not listed anywhere. It is like the computer does not recognize the graphics card.
Here are my specifics:
Computer: HP Model Desktop w2207h
System: Windows Vista 32 bit.
Monitor: HP 22” 1680 X 1050 resolution
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT (current version: 9.18.14.1106 driver that will not install).
There is a windows update for my graphics card, but windows will not install this update. The update says: nVidia – Display, Other hardware – NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT. I looked in my BIOS and under display it just says: PCI or PIC-E to select, but does not list any other specifications.
Can’t help but think this sleep mode occurred during a possible graphics card update. When I shut the computer off this might have happened. This is only speculation, but I know the computer went into sleep mode and would not come back out.
I have tried to system restore up to 4 different dates previous to this issue, yet the problem still persists.
I only know this information from looking at other posts. My knowledge is limited when it comes to hardware, graphics, or drivers. Only know what I am reading in forums. Anyone know what I should so here? Your advice would be much appreciated.
