Hello, I am revisiting this thread. I still have my HP Envy 14 1211nr intel hd (1st gen) and amd 5650. I am still having a issue. However, previously I got this to work in earlier in the thread by rolling back to the previous bios update and then loading the drivers. But I actually found a...

Just picked up a Asus TP300LD-R something. Intel HD 4400 display, Nvidia 820m. I tore out the the mech hdd and put in a Samsung evo 840 120 gb and I downloaded win8 pro to a usb using the media creator from m$ and then installed my license of 8.1 pro onto it. I am truly in love with it, this is...

Sounds like a stupid question but it aint really.... When you installed Win 8 did you install using a UEFI driver... Did it say it was in UEFI mode. Like on my system which is completely different when i do a custom boot from cd it shows me the dvd drive is a EFI bootable... The other thing...

yea its a hp thing. never again

Just use 8.1 should have no errors. it doesn't use the ccc in wddm 1.3 but I did benchmark and its optimized with the ms wddm drivers. I mean wont be switchable meaning goto intel and back but it will work. if u can deal with the amd chip being on all the time.

My question is are you guys doing clean installs or just doing the update from the store. i done a clean install with 8.1 pro. rtm few weeks ago... i own a hp envy 14 1211nr which has the 1st generation intel video and a amd 5650. before in the preview i had troubles as well as the same with...

Hey, Check this out it is win 8.1 compatible. And really helps prevent a lot of intrusions and annonyances. quite an old app but it will tell just who is spying on you too or trying to. lol PeerBlock ? Peerblock Site Peerblock 1.1
