Description

According to the HP Partsurfer pages, the 5188-8905 is a graphics card. Here is the link to HP PartSurfer search results.

Lets see what we got here. The part number (P/N) is 5188-8905, part description is "G86-213 256MB RANGER200 8400GS STD BKT". There are 72 HP products that use this particular part. They are mainly 4 categories of Home PC models:

  1. Compaq Presario SR5100 and SR5200 Home PC.
  2. HP Media Center m8100 Home PC.
  3. HP Pavilion Elite Media Center m9000 Home PC.
  4. HP Pavilion a6100/a6200 Home PC

From the Part Description [G86-213 256MB RANGER200 8400GS STD BKT], we can assume the graphic card is a 256MB NVidia GeForce 8400GS model having the following specifications:

Core Clock (MHz) 567
Shader Clock (MHz) 1400
Memory Clock (MHz) 400
Memory Amount 256/512MB
Memory Interface 64-bit

Texture Fill Rate (billion/sec) 3.6

In order to find the correct driver, we can use one of the models listed on the list of HP Products that uses P/N 5188-8905. I choose "HP Media Center m8150tr home PC (EMEA)".

Two graphics drivers returned. One is NVIDIA Unified Graphics Driver Update and the other one is Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800 TV Tuner Driver Update. Obviously the correct one is from NVidia. However the NVIDIA Unified driver is dated back to year 2008!. It is abit outdated and I would rather try to download the latest Unified graphic driver from NVIDIA website instead.

Here is the comparisons between HP's and NVIDIA's 8400GS driver:
