Battery problem (CPU a bottleneck) with BIOS and Intel SpeedStep technology.

The question is this:

1. If the AC adapter and the battery are both connected on the X201T, the speed of the CPU (base clock) is capable of running at the maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
2. If only the battery is connected, the speed of the CPU is still able to run at maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
3. If only the AC adapter is plugged in, the speed of the CPU is now 'limited' and can run only at 1.2 GHz.
4 in addition, I also ran Windows Experience Index assessment (built-in to Windows 7) and received a score of 6.3 with the battery or the AC adapter is plugged in, but only a score of 4.2 with only the AC adapter.
5. the system is significantly slower and cursor shifts are more noticeable when the battery is disconnected.

Control Panel:
A.the system has been set at maximum Performance with all the power saving settings turned off. The system has been fully updated for the latest updates and possible drivers from 12/03/10 at the time of the breathalyzer test.  No other software is installed that came with the ThinkPad when I received it.
B. with the connection and disconnection of the battery, the system has been individually disabled every time and restarted.
C. I ran full system Test and system through Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox stress Test and received no errors to ensure that the question was not due to system errors.
D. I used CPU - Z 1.56 v to monitor the speed of the CPU, all running Intel BurnTest v2.50 to insist on the system.
E. the problem is reproducible and probably a system wide problem/bug, because I tested it on two my X201T (I know it's weird, but I have two of these amazing machines).

Update:

After further testing, I've isolated the problem of "Bottleneck the CPU processor without battery" occurs only when the technology Intel SpeedStep in BIOS is enabled. Only when the SpeedStep technology option is cleared "completely", this problem will not occur. However, if the SpeedStep technology is enabled, even when the AC is set on maximum Performance, the CPU processor speed is limited when the battery is disconnected with the tablet running only on the AC adapter. This seems to be a bug in the BIOS.

If someone can communicate this problem Lenovo Engineering Department so that they can arrive at a solution, that would be great and very helpful. So I can work on my system without always having the battery plugged.

There are 2 solutions for that.

You spend more money for a 90W power adapter (which I did), then you can disconnect the battery and it will run at full speed.

Or, you go into the BIOS and turn off IntelSpeedStep.

Unfortunately, without the battery, when only using the 65W adapter, your speed will be throttled (I think it's a mistake on the end of Lenovo, but they claim it's normal).

    Hello

    Can't really imagine that on your system could cause this problem.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave remnants behind what causes stange issues).

    Work through these:

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones to default level

    not better?

    Try IE or IE with no Addons

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)

  • Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

    I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
    Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
    I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

    Hey guys

    You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
    Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

    It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - should it BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

    Hi all.

    Any Satellite Pro A300 has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
    It is mentioned on this page: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/easyguard2008/EN/manageability.aspx

    I have A300-01:00 (regular Satellite, not Pro), but its T5850 has not VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS. Wonder what is the difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro BIOS and can I try to use Satellite Pro A300 BIOS for my A300-01:00. Of course, I'm afraid I can't :(

    Thank you, Andy

    Hello Andy

    As far as I know the BIOS is not a universal startup program and is suitable for specific hardware architecture. Because of this Toshiba doesn t offer a BIOS for several models of laptops.

    If your laptop doesn't have virtualization option then there is nothing to do. Updating the BIOS will not help any.

  • Satellite A300 - 15 d - must BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

    Hi all.

    Satellite A300 - 15A has the BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
    He has a capable T9300 processor for virtualization technology, so it is logical that its BIOS should have this option.
    (I have A300-01:00, but its T5850 have VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS)

    Thank you, Andy

    > Satellite A300 - 15A has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
    Have you checked all BIOS options? I mean, why ask you? Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and check all the options available on the Advanced tab.

    For example: my Satellite A300-1LI has Intel Virtualization Technology option.

  • Trouble with BIOS and secure boot

    Hello, I own a HP Pavilion 15-b040sl, born with Windows 8 Sleekbook and has been upgraded to 8.1. Now, I decided to downgrade to Windows 7 (I own a regular product key) and has done so successfully (I'm also using a Linux distribution in dual boot). The problem is since I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows, Secure Boot allows automatically when starting (it did not before upgrade, because I just Press esc - F9, then select "portable hard drive" boot selection, now I have to open the BIOS, enable Legacy Boot (and automatically disables the secure boot), then it boots correctly) , but I have to do this every time I turn on the computer. Is there a way to fix this? Simply, I need something to disable startup secure activation automatically at startup. Maybe an old BIOS update? I tried to take a look at downloading drivers, but I am unable to find the older versions.

    I finally solved this when I noticed there was an option to disable startup change requests. This option is selectable when you disable booting safe (without activating the legacy support). Thanks for help.

  • Problems running Setup.app with e4200v2 and Mac network

    I bought a router e4200v2 about a year, but somehow, it got lost in my computer room and I don't a not localize until quite recently, just after I bought a new iMac running Yosemite. The new iMacs don't have an optical drive, so I downloaded the Setup.app since the support site of Linksys without problem.

    However, when I run the Setup.app, he starts a Setup Smart Wi - fi but stalls when it comes to about 25% of fact, with a message "could not find your router." I called Linksys, and even if this isn't their period of free support they gave me a free call since I'd just take the machine out of the box.

    We couldn't get the Setup.app to work, so they talked me through a manual installation. I can now access the net of my Wired iMac or any of the various devices wireless around the House (telephone, laptop, etc.).

    BUT it was only after I hung up I have realzed that the different functions available from the diddn t Smart Wifi configuration (for example, guest access) appear to be available.

    I don't want to pay for a support call, but it's really irritating. The Setup.app still does not work, and I see no way to not get LLA.

    Can anyone suggest a solution? Am I missing something simple?

    Thank you.

    I do not recommend the use of the software to configure the router in your case.

    On the contrary, to connect to the router and use the link below to access and configure.

  • Audio post problems when you work with AnimateCC and FlashCC

    My colleagues can not yet updated to AnimateCC, although I use it already.

    They are if they open my files in FlashCC (I'm careful not to use specific newer tools) Audio post parameters are not defined for what I put them to.

    We always use MP3 / 80 / stereo / better that our workflow & event sound settings but FLAs they open is displayed as MP3 / 16 / mono / fast.

    Not only that, if they save the file to FlashCC after setting the parameters of what they should be, when it is reopened they always see the quick / mono / 16.

    I can recreate this problem on my own machine using AnimateCC & FlashCC.

    Our only workaround is to copy the images to a new file in FlashCC (until they are able to update their facilities to AnimateCC).

    Can you advise if this is a known bug or something that can be fixed in a later version of animate so that people can continue to use older versions of your software?

    I tried with Flash Pro CC, and once again the publication settings were correct. I downloaded your original sample files, and all of them show 80 Kbps.

  • Quality problem of sudden impression with LR and PS - please help

    I have the worst time to find this problem of mine. I use Lightroom 4 and CS3 to edit and print photos. All of a sudden all my color photos began to have these whitish bands light running each print. On color photos. Apparently, when I print a black and white photo quality is perfect. Naturally, I thought that the question was of the printer. So, I contacted Canon (I use a mg6320), and they sent me a new printhead - does not solve. New ink cartirdiges - does not solve it. And then finally a brand new printer - that still does not solve the problem!

    When I use one program other than Adobe, printing is perfect. So WHY when I print by Lightroom 4 or 5 (I downloaed the test to see if it was just a question 4) or Photoshop cs3 I get these bands? It's driving me crazy. As I told all of a sudden started out of the blue...

    I have attached a scanned copy so that you can see...printbands.jpeg

    I tried so many different setting in LR all with the same results. There is a general faded to look at the pictures as well. On my screen this photo is much darker with less overexposed areas. ???

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Manda

    It seems to me that if you have your print quality setting in the driver of your printer the standard value or project rather than set for best picture. This setting should be changed in your printer driver which is accessible from the button in the lower left corner of the screen when you are in the print module.

I tried using wifi on the phone, but I always get the message "Cannot connect to the server" when I open the browser or when I try to configure my email account.

  • Problems to use LAG with 2504 and 3560

    Hello, we recently bought a 2504 wireless controller, and I can't using the aggregation of links (LAG) to connect the WLC to the network.   I was able to connect properly to the contoller using a single link, but as soon as I activate LAG (on the switch and wlc) I'm unable to access the controller.  I think that I have the correct position of the switches as the port channel is active and shows active on the controller via cdp.

    I can't do a ping of the controller, but I see it via cdp.

    The controller runs 7.4.100.0 with bootloader 1.0.18

    The switch is a WS-C3560G-48PS and running 12.2 (25r) SE

    The controller is 10.10.10.202.

    No access-lists on interface vlan switch

    Note that I have currently the 2nd stop of the port as the first member of the Association is active.

    Thoughts?   Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Due to a problem I reinstalled to with POP3 and he proceeded to download ALL my emails from 2010 - is it possible to delete ALL these block?

    Windows 8

    POP3 is supposed to download but it can be configured to leave the mail on the server.

    Look at the tools/account/Server settings.
    (Or three_bars_icon / tools/account settings/Server settings)
    The second part is what is on my picture.

    If you leave your mail on the server (see image) you must mark a way to remove them. either by age or (preferably) by you deleting them or both.

    If you delete the Inbox in the "hidden" directory, as you suggest, the only result would be that would create a vacuum and all mails on server should start to download.

    If you have left on the server and you want to remove, mark them in the Inbox and delete. Then empty the trash and Inbox, and of garbage compact.

    is that more clear?
