Hey there,
So I bought one of these cheap 2560x1440 korean monitors, the "X-Star" IPS panel.
It has one DVI-D input, and my laptop (Lenovo G510) has one HDMI output. I naively bought an HMDI - DVI adapter cable, and when I plug in the monitor using the cable my computer immediately bluescreens with "bad pooling call," 0x00C2.
My laptop has Intel HD 4600 graphics, but also a discrete Radeon HD8750m. When I disable the intel GPU in the hardware manager, I can plug in the screen without the BSOD, but I can't get a signal over to it; all the software for extended displays is on the intel side.
I've experimented with drivers, but I can't seem to find any solution. I would hate to have to buy a USB 3.0 DVI/HDMI adapter for 50 bucks...
Please no responses telling me that I can't put 2560x1400 through an HDMI cable - read this: http://www.notebookcheck.net/2560x1440-or-2560x1600-via-HDMI.92840.0.html
Any ideas? I'm sure this is a driver issue...
Thanks!
