Intel i3 530 onboard graphics issue

[taisingera]

Just yesterday when booting up, the system booted very slow and the screen flashed black twice. I was greeted with the following: "intel graphics accelerator for xp (r) stopped responding and has recovered". Then everything is normal. I have Win 7 64 installed since June 1 and this just started. Anybody know if this is a driver issue, and any fix?

BTW, not overclocked and temps are within range for the system.

I would start with the video driver first and download the latest one.

Poor processor of yours. Step it up brother and buy a video card for that i3 for heavens sake. lol Thanks

I mean your AERO speed will blow goat too wtf ? Go pay 80 or 100 buckaroo's and buy a video card for your poor poor CPU . My gosh it must be working overtime now sheeez. What is that i3 a quad. Talk about a bottleneck thanks to the uuubber on board graphics LOL

Im gonna shoot myself in the foot for that last guy and my last comment. I mean how can you use a quad core with a built in slow pos imo. I guess financial reasons. That onboard is meant to just be a show bopper lol. You need a video card, unless you dont play games then your set with a slow Aero experience lol.

OP dont listen to tweakboy the onboard graphics are fine, in fact its the fastest GMA intel have put out, keeping in mind some people do light gaming on the older GMA's what the OP has is more than enough, aero will be absolutely fine too. No need for a discrete card.

Just update the drivers and see what happens. The fact that it mentions "XP" when you have windows 7 x64 is odd... make sure you got the win 7 x64 driver and not the XP one, i dont know but i would be surprised if it would even let you install the XP drivers in 7.

You can, but it's not suggested. With XP Driver Model (XPDM) drivers you don't get any of the benefits of Vista/7's GPU enhancements. It's mainly in there so large corporations can get away with running really old/terrible IGPs.
