Hi everyone, i have a problem with my intel HD4400 graphics chipset.

When i play at at a game like (like rocket league, Kerbal space programm or rome total war for exemple.), i have some black screen and some lines who appears regurlarly on the screen and wich make the game unplayable.

I have the last driver, i have found it with the intel driver utility.

I already tried some drivers and OS configuration but i don't find a solution to my problem.

My specs :

Windows 7 professional

Intel core I5-4210-U

Thanks you for your help.

Hello BMCi,

Could you please let me know the driver version you are running? Please go to Device Manger> Display adapters> Intel(R) HD Graphics right click on Properties and then go to Driver, you will be able to see the version installed.

Could you please take a screenshot of the flickering issue?

Make sure that you are using these settings for Rocket League https://gameplay.intel.com/GamesSettings/8649/81016/Intel%C2%AE%20Core%E2%84%A2%20i5-4210U%20Processor%20(3M%20Cache,%20up%20to%202.70%20GHz) Games Settings, and Kerbal Space Program https://gameplay.intel.com/GamesSettings/8571/81016/Intel%C2%AE%20Core%E2%84%A2%20i5-4210U%20Processor%20(3M%20Cache,%20up%20to%202.70%20GHz) Games Settings.

Amy.

Hi,

When i want to install this driver with this method, windows say mee that my device is up to date and don't install it.

If i try to install it with the setup.exe in the zip file, i have a message "your system dont have the minimal configuration.".

i have windows 7 professional in my computer.

Thanks.

Dorian

Hi,

I have the same problem with this driver, imposssible to install it.

In the read me of the driver:

Platform / Operating System(s):

6th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) processor family (codename Skylake)

Microsoft Windows* 7-64

Microsoft Windows* 8.1-64

Microsoft Windows* 10-64 (Nov_Upd_RTM_10586)

5th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processor family (codename Broadwell)

Microsoft Windows* 7-64

Microsoft Windows* 8-64

Microsoft Windows* 8.1-64

Microsoft Windows* 10-64 (Nov_Upd_RTM_10586)

4th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processor family (codename Haswell

Microsoft Windows* 10-64 (Nov_Upd_RTM_10586)

I don't think than this driver can be install in an windows 7 system, my processor is an haswell model no ?

Hi,

I installed your driver but unfortunately, it doesn't the flickring problem.

I found a little solution : If i set the power setting in the maximal autonomy mod, the flickering disappear.

I think that my device is not fully use with this settings but maybe it's the only solution.

Say me if you have other proposition.

thanks.

Could you please try adding an external TV or monitor and check if the issue persists? One more thing you could try is updating your chipset and Intel management driver, check with Acer for these drivers.
