Hi,

 

I changed my laptops motherboard, after that whenever I install Intel 4000 graphics driver from my lenovo laptop's manufacturer website windows can't boot, although the first screen and bios can be seen but just before the windows log on, screen becomes completely black, I have to go to safe mode and uninstall Intel 4000 driver. Installing the newest driver from Intel website results in BOSD instead of black screen. So now I'm on standard vga graphics driver. Can anyone please help me with this ?

Hello 4shakhdar, it is very important to make sure you are installing the graphics drivers provided by Lenovo. The reason is because our drivers are generic and sometimes OEM systems do not allow the installation of them.

Usually OEMs make a lot of customizations to the drivers and the installation of Intel's drivers could overwrite those customizations.

If you are still want to install our drivers, you may try forcing the installation by performing manual procedure, however I cannot assure you they are going to work as expected.

See here for instructions: http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm Graphics Drivers — Computer manufacturer graphics driver detected

The latest Graphics driver is version 3958 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24329&lang=eng&ProdId=3712 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24329&lang=eng&ProdId=3712
