Notebook HP Pavilion 14-n229la NVIDIA GeForce 840m


Recommended Posts

Hi, i was searching in all old topics but i did not find an answer. I have an old Notebook HP Pavilion 14-n229la, with a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 840m.

I can't install my drivers up to 355.98, but my NVIDIA panel recommend me the 381.65 (error while installing). I tried moddifing the INF but nothing, maybe i do something wrong. Can you help me? i can not use the gpu 😞

(PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1341&SUBSYS_21DB103C)

TY, and sorry, im very desperate

Looks like the same issue as discussed at https://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/32927-geforce-43527-windows-update/

Try the suggestions we mentioned there.

 

 

Windows update offers 2 antiquated drivers:

Ty for answer

i try all the suggestions, my last oficial driver is 355.98-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql, tried with modded INF with all up to date drivers and does not work. 

I tried 435.27_win10x64 with modde INF but nothing...

Games doesn't work anymore but they detect the GPU, GPU-Z detect it, some old games too. Pls help

Do you get an error when you install via Device Manager ?
This is more informative when things go wrong in saying what went wrong

Use the 'Browse my Computer for Driver Software' then point to driver
Replace the original INF with modded one if you need to first

i do it that way, but i got the same image. All drivers up to 355.98 with modded INF i try to install got me the same error. "error installing graphics drivers"

EDIT; with 
435.27_win10x64 with modded INF

"Windows found drivers to this device, but an error ocurre wjile trying

NVIDIA GeForce 840M

The system can not find the specific file"

Means that 'Driver Signature Enforcement' is on
Turn this off, google it

This means you are not using driver thats linked in the post
The INF is based on the driver linked (usually International version)
I test all INFs before posting, and am running 435.27 on both my 960m and Tesla M60

Just copy and REPLACE the INF in Display.Driver folder the modded INF name will change as needed, just copy and replace.
If you are not replacing something is wrong
Also make sure use INF for each driver, don't mix them up you'll get can't find file errors
