Intel HD 3000 driver blue screen error

[Aayush Shah]

I've a Dell inspiron N4050 laptop. It has an AMD HD 7400M graphics card and Intel HD 3000 as well. It was working great, until recently, I updated it's driver. I downloaded the genuine Intel HD 3000 driver from Intel's site. I used the auto detect utility because I wasn't sure about the driver. The installation went great and without any error , and at last, it asked me to restart my laptop for the new settings to take place. But, as soon as I restarted it, I get this blue screen error all the time, and I can't even work on my laptop. My laptop isn't even working properly and i cant play games as well. It doesn't work properly, except when I use it in Safe mode. I tried to download the driver from Dell's official website too and the same happened. Now, I removed the driver completely and the laptop is working properly, except I can't play any games or watch movies because of bad graphics and due to the absence of the driver. I tried installing it from many sources, but it just doesn't work. What should I do to make my laptop alright? Any suggestions would be welcomed.



Processor: 2nd Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @2.50 Ghz
RAM: 4 GB
Windows 7 Home basic 64 Bit

Please help me guys. Kindly give a working solution. Without the driver, my laptop's display is completely dull and doesn't work properly.



Thanks in advance,
Aayush

It may be because of faulty PC driver check by the zuto detect utility.
Looking at your specs, It may be due to the utility's fault in recognising 64 and 32 bit archetechture.

This link is for the drivers Intel HD 3000.
Just look for 64 bit ONLY, select your operating system
and bob;s your uncle.
oh and dont click on the ones about HD graphics for celeron and pentium processors. READ CAREFULLY EACH LINK.
MAKE SURE THEY MATCH YOUR SPECS.

Hi PhiNix, I've tried both the drivers mentioned for my laptop and none of them worked. I aalways get a blue screen error, no matter which driver software I install. Any other suggestions, mate? Pretty sure, I used the 64 bit one .

IF the blue screen error had text, it probs is a memory failure, try checking it
