Functional for Einstein Haswell display drivers wanted

(moderation:
Hello, i am always getting false drivers for intel. Even with the drivers setup utility i get trash.
BOINC recognizes the gpu , but on the servers log, the download of tasks will be denied, because the device name isnt included with "...Haswell..." drivers name.
I also tried to rename the drivers but failed, they are not digital signated.
The worst is i didnt know the exact name of the itegrated gpu version, it must be Intel(R) HD Graphics 4xxx , but unknown.
Can someone recommend me a 100% funcitional driver for Win7 64bit an crunshing ?
The cpu is Intel(R) Celeron G1820, hope for help.

According to the Intel specification sheet I've linked, that CPU - in common with most of the Intel CPUs badged 'Celeron' - must be a very cut-down version of the Haswell chip. The key features I picked out were:
Instruction Set Extensions: SSE4.1/4.2 (no AVX?)
Processor Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics (no 4xxx)
Compare with the similar sheet for the Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU that I started with - host 8864187.
My Haswells (also running Windows 7, 64-bit) are very happy with driver 10.18.10.3621, which has this compatibility list:
4th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Platform 4th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor U Series-based Platform 4th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Y Series-based Platform 3rd Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Platform 3rd Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor U Series-based Platform 3rd Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Y Series-based Platform Intel(R) Pentium(TM) Processor 2000/A1000/G2000/G2100 Series Intel(R) Celeron(TM) Processor 900/1000/G1000 Series Intel(R) Pentium(R) N3510/ 3520 Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) N2810/ 2820 Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) N2910/ 2920 Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) N2805/ N2806 Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) N2815 Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) J2850/ J2900 Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) J1850/ J1900 Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) J1750/ J1800 ProcessorThat 'G1000 Series' suggests you might be in luck: the download url is
http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23885/a08/win64_153322.zip
Unpack the .zip, try running setup.exe
If that fails, look for the file 'Installation_Readme.txt' (not plain readme.txt), and follow the manual installation unstructions - the section titled "Microsoft Windows* "Have Disk" Installation" has overcome every problem I've ever encountered, on five systems now.
Edit - to complete the picture, in the hope that this may become a useful reference thread: the Einstein Windows applications like this driver, but have a curious quirk: although they use very little CPU time, they very much like to have a CPU available in support - either keep an entire CPU core free (a big ask on a dual core CPU), or peg the Einstein intel_gpu application to real-time priority ( ! unusual, but it works for these two apps only) using a utility like Process Lasso.
Well thanks for the effords u

Well thanks for the effords u made.
The first driver results in the same as before:

I´ll try the second one. even that didn´t work, its always the device name that isn´t right.

OK, that's the project protecting itself against all the weird and not-so-wonderful CPU/driver combinations out there - many return rubbish science, and the project staff haven't got the time to test and verify each combination.
I suppose the next step would be to wrap the application up in anonymous platform (app_info.xml), and bypass the plan class selection that way. Are you up for that, under guidance?
The object of the exercise would be to test, slowly and carefully under controlled conditions, whether the GPU returns valid science with a known good driver like .3621

Well thanks, but that is to complicated for me, even to understand english writing.
That all will give me a big headache , that i won´t wanna have.
Cheers, and have a good day, i am out. If anyone want to continue, lets get on it.

Thats the device name over the software gpu-z. It says its an HD 2500 gpu, any cunshing funcionality existent ?
And yes , the cpu supports AVX (but not the second version).

I'm a little suspicious of that number. HD 2500 is a valid Intel GPU name, but it belongs with the older, Ivy Bridge, generation of chips - which did indeed support AVX, but AVX didn't seem to be present in your server contact log. I'd be more inclined to believe Intel's report based on the model number, especially if you think you've been sold a Haswell.

That ID (8086-0152) is the Ivy Bridge-DT GT1 graphics - so the low(est) end GPU, of the Core 3rd generation.
Try HWiNFO and you should get accurate information about your CPU and its iGPU including codenames...

It realy cames along the name "Intel(R) HD Graphics" thats all.
NO avx support, earlyer posts of others where right.
Its realy embarrassing , no avx...but thats must be the point.
Don't worry about the AVX - I
)
Don't worry about the AVX - I just mentioned that to help distinguish the different processors. It's a CPU feature, and has no bearing on your original question about display (GPU) drivers.
I see three Windows computers on your account with Intel GPUs:
Host 12209420: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1820, INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics (580MB)
(I think that's the one we started with)
Host 12199868: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550 CPU, INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics 2500 (580MB)
(That'll be the Ivy Bridge with AVX)
Host 12188903: also Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550 CPU, INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics 2500 (580MB)
(possibly a duplicate record for the one above)
You also have a 'INTEL Intel(R) HD Graphics Haswell GT1 Desktop (2048MB)' running under Linux, but that's outside my skill-set.
Both the i5-3550 and the G1820 should be compatible with that 10.18.10.3621 driver I linked for you earlier. That should give you two systems capable of running the Einstein science programs. From that point forward, it's a question of persuading the scheduler to allocate work in response to your requests - and for the time being, that seems to require the use of the anonymous platform mechanism, until some project staff time becomes available to re-examine the whole intel_gpu and driver mess.
