I have similar problem on my Desktop PC with nVidia GeForce 210. Try this:
First download the latest driver for your GPU, then:
1. Disable Internet access (tur off WiFi / unplug cable)
2. Boot in Safe mode
3. Uninstall driver
4.Reboot in safe mood
5. Install the latest driver for your GPU
6. Reboot in Normal mode

I had problem with drivers on netbook asus 1015PN I solved it by disabling internet connection and installing older driver from asus website but first I installed ACPI driver to make nvidia optimus mode work

[Q] Nvidia Optimus on Windows 8

I have just installed the new Consumer Preview and love it!
However I have a Nvidia 555M graphics card which uses Nvidia Optimus, with out the nvidia drivers installed the graphics card simply runs on full the whole time but windows only sees the intel graphics chip, as such I can't play games well and still have horrible battery life!
So has anyone got the drivers to install/Optimus working right?
If so how?
having the same problem & graphics card,
according to NVIDIA you can just download the latest win7 drivers, works for some, not for all/always
Kind regards, Jonas

(not enough post, so just copy/paste)
edit: make sure you pick the correct bit version, or it will just tell you that it can't find your GPU
edit2: heared rumors about more success without the physx & auto-update; so disable those if you want
eidt3: just to say... working for me now, after several restarts (yesterday it failed after a restart or 2)

Hey,
try rebooting & re-installing the NVIDIA drivers a few times, it should work.
Also make sure you have the correct version of the drivers (x86 for 32-bit & x64 for 64-bit)
I tried installing windows 7 drivers, but it didn't work for my gt555m. Now that release preview is out, is there another way of making Optimus work?
Install the new verde drivers. There availible on the website and there made for windows 8. Stopped all my crashes and slow games. The newest ones also are supposd to have alotta updates for games

Amd Radeon Drivers problem.

Hello XDA,
I have recently installed Windows 8 pro x64 and loving it so far But......
I have a Hp Pavillion with Amd Radeon Hd 6470M. Under 'Device Manager' it is indicated as 7400M with that little 'caution symbol'.
I have tried to update the drivers via the catalyst Program 'v12' for windows 8, but if I try to install it says "catalyst cannot download drivers because of incompatible software bla bla bla. I got another setup from hp.de and I managed to proceed with the installation. During installation the screen flickers a lot 'normal I presume' but after restarting I get a blank screen, lots of flickering and the fun going nuts. I managed to get the catalyst software running through 'run' and uninstalled the newly installed drivers, back to normal!!
Until now the 'caution' symbol is persistent.
Does any one know where to get 3rd party drivers or if you have a solution it will be highly appreciated!!

No third party drivers mate... I had the same problem... My advice is to dual boot your lappy.. I have a DV6 pavilion... Also do not install catalyst manager software... The only thing you can do right now is to update the driver using device manager...
i have a dv7 i tried everything except the obvious and it worked. I downloaded my drivers from hp's support site. Changed the compatability to windows 7 and installed as admin worked great all back to normal.
On my dv6 3006tx the default Windows 7 drivers work well - if you can force the installation of them.
Look for a swsetup folder on your C:\ root. There may be correct drivers within there.
If not, manually download the correct driver's from HP's site. Do NOT use an automatic driver detector. Run the installer, and everything will extract to C:\AMD or something. Then you must install the driver files directly through Device Manager. Right click, update driver software. Try both options. Also try the 'have disk' sub-option, and navigate to the .inf files you find in the directory.
Unfortunately, it's mostly trial and error. The drivers probably will work - but AMD just won't let you install them! If only there were a way to bypass every single OS version check they make...
Also try the generic Windows 8 GPU drivers from AMD's site. You probably won't get switchable graphics, though.

packard bell touch ze8
someone can help me,
my netbook is a packard bell ze8 (butterfly touch)
comes with windows 7 home premium
upgrading to windows 8 pro during installing new windows recognize all drivers
except accelerometer
i installed windows 7 driver in compatibility mode
but the auto-rotation does not work
the video card is an intel gma 4500
any idea?
Have you installed all the OEM's drivers (chipset, video, etc.)? Often the generic drivers don't provide support for features like that. Also, make sure that auto-rotation is enabled; on some systems it isn't.

thanks for supporting
i had installed the driver provided from packad bell under compatibility mode
then tried with new intel gma4500 driver installed by windows 8
and after also with old driver from packard bell
enabling auto rotation in both by intel setting and control panel settings
...in another partition installing windows 7 auto roation works
maybe there is some registry hack to do...?
