Dear Intel Community,
I have a netbook with Intel Atom N2600 processor, which has Intel GMA 3600. Under the Metro screen in Windows 8, if I try opening an app, Windows 8 crashes. I get VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE and Kernel Mode Display driver problem (igdkmd32.sys).
I'm running an external monitor. I use the generic Microsoft display adapter and everything works, but my video resolution is not right. (1600 x 1200 instead of 1920 x 1080) It's stretched.
This is a known issue. My netbook should run Windows 8 under Intel GMA 3600 with the last published driver. However it doesn't. And if I wanted to use just the Netbook alone it's resolution is 1024 x 600 so I can't use Metro. Unless of course I trick it into displaying 1024 x 768 mode, then it works, but it looks all stretched LOL.
Is Intel going to put out a driver for Intel GMA 3600 that works properly for Windows 8? I am dying to know!
(Supposedly from reading virtually every thread on this from forums across the Web, there are tablets with this GMA that won't run Windows 8 even though they were advertised as doing so.)
Please let me know if you have any answer to this question! Thanks. Cheers!
