Question Intel g45/g43 Express Chipset Driver.

[Kyros70]

why does my windows 10 CRASH after installing the Microsoft WDDM 1.1 driver?
I installed the driver using a cab file and it worked for 1 second or two then froze and I restarted by holding the power button and windows booted using the Microsoft basic display adapter 🙁
the pc is an old HP pro 3010 MT.
I remember when I first got my hands on it it had windows 7 ultimate 64 bit installed with perfect drivers... I dream about going back to that point but I broke that windows installation sadly.
Any help for the driver issue?
ALSO this happened on windows 7 ultimate 64 bit after I reinstalled it :0
Model :HP pro 3010 MicroTower
GPU: onboard (G54/g43 express chipset)
Old but clean yeah around 2011-2013
Watt :300 watts
WD drive : wd1600avjs, age: same as pc, 150 gb
Only using 40 gig
UN branded mouse non rgb
60% keyboard non RGB
Network: I use usb tethering from my phone that is connected to wifi, pc shows as Ethernet

You posted "I installed the driver using a can file and it worked for 1 second or two then froze"

What do you mean by "can file"? Or is there some typo?

= = = =

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List of all connected peripherals.

Wired or wireless network?

Probably not gonna like this but if the computer is abit dated it most likely wouldn't be fully supported by windows 10.
Especially if you had windows 7 with sp1 or sp2 on it and it still errors out.

If this were me in this situation, I would start looking at building a low budget build pc and get rid of the old pc setup. :/

Sorry, cab file.

I'm getting a laptop but for now I need this

I installed sp1?

Cab file - thank you.

I am not sure that I would trust or otherwise expect any such Windows 7 related files to still be viable.

Windows 7 being generally unsupported.

Will second @maikutech 's suggestion to move forward with a low budget build pc.

Even if the build can be salvaged it is very likely that something else will "break".

And you will then need to start all over again....

This is kind of how they are and have been for a long time, and unsurprising considering the latest drivers are for Vista/Win 7.

I personally had GMA X4500HD IGP on G45 chipset in Windows 10 back around build 1511 ten years ago and it worked great. After some Windows version updates the same driver just quit working and never worked again (it still worked fine when dual-booted to Win 7-64, just not in Win 10-64), so I tossed in a $5 used GT710.

GMA X4500 IGP on G41 chipset was a different story as the driver works perfectly in Windows 10-64 and Win7-32 but was very unstable in Win7-64 and this was with the actual latest Win 7 drivers. What's strange is these are two very related IGPs, sharing even the same 800MHz core clocks, and the only listed difference is the HD version has better H.264 hardware acceleration so can even decode it in 1080p for Blu-Ray movies. Yet their drivers had very different Windows compatibility.

The IGP in G43 has the same device ID as G45 (2E22) but is definitely GMA X4500 like G41 (which is 2E32), and not GMA X4500HD. But uses the same driver as GMA X4500HD.

With a laptop you would be stuck trying older Intel drivers, but a desktop is a different story as you could just switch to a cheap GPU. Nobody seems to want a GPU that's slower than any modern IGP nowadays so they are quite inexpensive used, but for some reason those also seem to still be available new for outrageous prices (I wouldn't suggest it, but they still sell new GT210 or HD5450!)

Note that any fix for Windows is temporary, as end of support for Windows 10 arrives in 5 months and the last version of Windows 11 that will run on that thing is 23H2 which goes EOL just one month later. Rather than buying even a cheap GPU, why not try a Linux distro with a compatible Mesa driver?

Hmmm I tried mint but it freezes randomly so I got back to windows and lost my USB drive.
