charge of everything at stake

Hello
I use HP envy 15 - 171nr

My battery drains faster while I play high end games... (of course it's)
It is a good option to play games during the loading of my laptop... ?

I have heard some say that it decreases the life of the battery, is - it true?

and please help me on my battery life...

(1) load and using laptop... is it safe for my battery?
(2) should I remove my Plug once it is fully charged?
(3) I can use it until it is less than 10%?

Hello vijay1194,

I see that you have any questions about the battery and your laptop. I'll try to answer these for you.

I will provide you some documents and links that you might find very useful trainees of "doing" and "not to do" with the dough. Also, who can help you improve the performance and longevity of the battery.

Rechargeable Battery Care as Fast As Possible - video Youtube
Understanding Lithium-ion and Smart Battery Technology -HP document
Improve the performance of the battery (8 Windows 7, Vista) - HP paper

The first link is a video that contains a lot of good advice as well as things to do and not do for batteries. The second, provide a lot of information for you, I think that will answer many of the questions you have. The last help you improve performance.

I hope that these two help you and answer any questions you have.
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Acer Aspire 3830TG-6494 blocks everything at stake, using either built-in or nVidia Graphics

    Acer Aspire 3830TG-6494 blocks everything at stake.

    Symptoms of the accident:

    -happens anywhere out in the first 15 minutes to several hours in a game (no link with the graphic quality settings). Any loss of performance leading up to the accident.

    -seeds and black, with a brief gurgling noise goes from the screen. Fan and power remains lit always works, forcing a hard reset.

    -Occasionally, the screen freezes, lines horizontal green of ~ 1 cm will appear everywhere and a humming noise is output from the speakers up to a hard reset.

    -Rarely, I get a BSOD, or the computer will shut down and restart itself. DMP files obtained do show no consistent presumed cause.

    -Crash will be preceded by sometimes some sounds in the game by cutting. But not always.

    -The only link between accidents, is that I think usually a solution worked just before the accident. (Frustrating!)

    -System crash occasionally in watching videos or something, but only accidents constantly all game.

    I tried the following:

    -Games running using only the built-in graphics card or nVidia GeForce GT 540 M GPU.

    -Underclocking is the GPU (500 MHz and 700 MHz, 672 MHz and 900 MHz) CPU (70% of the power max seting plan) and both at the same time.

    -The temperatures do not exceed 70 c under heavy use, and crash does not appear to be related to increases in temperature.

    -Run the memory diagnostic Windows 7 and memtest86 (no problem found)

    -Execution of diagnostic CPU intel and intel UERX reference that has not caused an accident.

    -Updated all drivers for the latest versions, as well as make them back to the versions recommended on the acer website to download. (Completely uninstalled the graphics drivers before reinstalling different versions) And ensuring that windows update not installing driver updates automatically.

    -the upgrade of BIOS for v1.12, has been stable for a weekend, he returned to crashing.

    -The system seems to be more stable in sleep or in balance mode, but not a lot. I also knew the power adapter because it seems not crashing on the battery for a short period. But I was wrong, and he eventually crashing if hooked up or not.

    Oh and try cleaning w / air, obviously

    I don't play often and used to play older games on the lower quality settings. I'm not overclocking or streaming at the same time.

    Help, please

    It looks like the modules of RAM that came with the laptop were somewhat incompatible with each other in dual channel mode. Comes with a 2 GB and a 4 GB, same frequency but different bar.

    MemtestX86 or windows memory diagnostic found a problem with a stick.

    Computer is completely stable when running with only the 4 GB stick, even under heavy use. Have since replaced by a kit 2x4gb without any problem.

    Wish that I had looked at the problem, while the laptop was still under warranty, instead of assuming that it was overheating.

    In the last days of my audio was cut all at stake. It works fine for the last 2-3 years I had my gaming pc. No problem what so ever. Until recently all of a sudden the sound started cutting. The volume window would freeze and I can access is no longer. The task manager would also freeze when I try to launch it from the taskbar. CTRL + Alt + Del would not respond and neither would the Ctrl + Alt + Delete. PC freezes completely and would have reset. Sometimes, either from a difficult start or reset, pc would not boot the screen until what I hit the reset button. Here are the steps that I had done in the past few days. The list is not in order, but I assure you, I did all and repeated more than once, had a few.

    Everything seemed to work even using media player to listen to music until I start the game on Steam / Call of Duty: Black Ops2 multiplayer and his then will be stop. I must then restart/reset/reboot everything computer to get the sound working again. The Task Manager is not accessible when his fate, or the SndVol control would work from the taskbar. PC would completely freeze when I try to access it.
     
    There is only one option that really worked that would return to his on board using the Realtek software accompanying the card mother of-EVGA X 58 Classified 3 E770 I use but to be honest, it's crap, when you're playing it would force me to increase my noise level at 10bars where I would normally put to 3bar. You do not hear the people who speaks clearly and the sound is horrible other that just play music.
     
    I did tried to check on system notifications and it lists a few warnings/criticals, but there is really nothing I can do with it.  I can't send it out for a cause of assessment is not option for her.
    Any help would be very appreciated to my situation. Don't know what category it is, because it fits in several areas, but I hope that either one would suffice.

    With a single game installed, it is a little hard to say, but works with all other audio sources and audio integrated works with the game there seems to be a conflict with the
    game. Drivers, or settings.
    There's a setting on the control panel of sound cards that activates / deactivates default EAX?
    Most of the usable by EAX games have an option in the settings, but EAX is not used in games like
    much (or at all?) these days, so if the card enabled as a framework fixed, it might cause a problem.

    -You can post on the Steam forums to find if there is a common problem with this game
    When you use a configuration with HDMI and a sound card.

    -What are still I do not understand is that what you said the audio was working in the game with the sound card and
    then suddenly stopped working, Yes?
    If the game was running and had audio sound card, so it can be useful to a
    Delete the configuration file from games, or reinstall the game.

    -What else do you have installed at this time?
    -Have you tried to run the game to boot, or are you still that he keep in mind?

    -I've never used HDMI, so I don't know if that would disable the sound card, but
    HDMI it has it's own small Pandora's box, especially when you try to use external speakers
    with the sound card instead of the speakers on the monitor/TV.

    -Troubleshooting is easier with everything that pared back to basics and kept it that way until the
    problem is solved. I would like to disable audio in the BIOS or uninstall these drivers,
    and uninstall the Audio drivers that come with the graphics drivers.
    (I do it as a matter of course. You don't need to have installed drivers that you don't use. Just
    Adds another possibility of conflicts).

    BTW - try Fusion (formerly known as Driver Sweeper) driver when you find it is necessary to make a
    complete cleaning of a driver.

  • Satellite A500-17 x blocks everything at stake

    Hello

    I am new to this forum and I'm desperate.
    Laptop: Satellite A500-17 x

    My problem is that when I run games such as Call of Duty 4 my laptop restarts. In detail, the laptop random beep that lasts for one second, although it goes black screen; then it restarts. It then goes on the menu says 'Start windows normally and start safe mode' and something else. I also noticed that this only happens when the sector/charger is plugged / connected to my laptop.

    I also tried all the games, I had, I even tried solitare! and it crashed/restarted! I don't always get a blue screen!
    I called Toshiba and they said back "we found nothing wrong", guess what?
    They said that 6 times in a row! I sent the laptop through contact toshiba support 6 times!
    The laptop has traveled since the Ireland to Germany 6 times back!

    And the problem still persists!

    I tried setting the high battery performance/balance/eco and it still crashes / restarts!
    However when I unplug/pluged on sector/charger games, I mean every game, I played does not crash/restart on me when the sector/charger is not connected/plugged! I'm a player that I played quite long hours, this problem gives me at least a window 5 minutes or 3 seconds of game time.

    Now my warranty just ran out two weeks ago. I had this problem for about 1 year and a few weeks.
    I'm a very patient kid, but it took its toll on me.

    Laptop gfx card is the nVidia GeForce GT 230 m and its running on Windows 7 home premium 64-bit.
    On the control panel it says 32-bit for some reason, is it intended to say that? I can't change it to 64-bit 16-bit only.

    Please guys, if you could help, it would mean a lot to me. Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem playing games only?
    I think that this may be related to a temperature higher while gaming.

    > However when I unplug/pluged on sector/charger games, I mean all games, I played does not crash/reboot on me

    This means that this laptop goes down only when the AC adapter is connected.
    In this case I recommend to check the parameters of power for the profile adapter AC as described here:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=41
    (its management power Vista, but very similar to Win7)

    Here, you specify a CPU cooling method. I recommend you to set the ultra-high-performance cooling and put the CPU to lower the value
    Take a look also at other environments there.

    In addition, you must update the graphics driver and check if the BIOS is up to date!

  • Qosmio X 305-Q701 - black screen and sound loop everything at stake

    Hello

    My Qosmio X 305 - Q701 recently started crashing everything by playing games. Never had a problem out of it until last month. All games from WoW and F.E.A.R. at solitare. It will go to a black screen just randomly and the last word in the end all looping and more requiring a hard reboot.
    Graphics card is Nvidia geforce 9700 m gts series.

    All drivers and directx is up to date with windows vista. I'm not very tech savy any help or expierence with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You use a different display driver? I mean the nVidia Driver and you should only use the Toshiba display drivers because they are pre-tested on your laptop and it will not overheat with Toshiba drivers.
    Check it!

    Maybe something is blocking the fan you need to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

  • Satellite L70-B-12 t - BSOD, atikmpag.sys everything at stake

    Whenever I try to play a game amd driver crashes or I get bsoded (atikmpag.sys).
    Some days he arrives just after I start the laptop and other computer after several hours of use or one or two hours of play.

    I tried everything on x 64 (OEM) home win8 and win 7 pro x 64.
    All included:
    -Updated graphics drivers Intel (auto-updater invited me to use toshibas pilot)
    -Used Toshibas drivers.
    -Used pilots later and beta AMD.

    -All Windows and the graphics card settings are on performance.

    Disabled - all energy saving relevant options I could find.

    -Tried several times, extraction - replace manually, to solve atikmpag bsod without change. I get this error message 1 x per day minimum.

    The games I tried, and make the bad are:
    -Sniper Elite 3 (driver crashes and recover successfully)
    -Archage (each graphic parameter is at least and I keep crashing, bsoding my permit hang right after that I connect to the game)
    -Tera: here I can actually log on settings low (+ lotsa .ini tweaking) but I get randomly driver hang of the thing even once and the rare bsod.
    And these are the only games I've tried on this laptop so far

    Normal computer 3DMark test: Bsod when generates the report.
    3DMark mid range gaming pc test: driver hangs on the 1st video and never recovers.
    Plan to run another Tester stress but also that i'm definatelly of ideas on how to keep this troubleshooting.

    Thanks in advance!

    For me, it looks like a RAM problem as did mistake place in different situations at different times.
    So it could be a LITTLE unstable in memory / RAM.
    Download memtest86 and let pass the test for a longer period. Most of the problems a RAM / errors will be caught in the 1st run, some on the 2nd or 3rd.

  • Satellite S70t-b00c use Intel GPU everything at stake

    Hey guys,.

    Yesterday I bought a new toshiba Satellite S70t-b00c and when I play my games sound using intel Integrated GPU

    How can I fix?

    To switch to the external GPU, right click on the desktop
    In Catalyst Control Center Power, click on select Maximum Performance when it is plugged

    Then in global settings of Switchable Graphics also choose maximize Performance

    Then click on the switchable graphics Application settings
    Now, you would be able to add an app (game) that could use this graphics card settings
    Simply tap the exe of the game and add to the list of applications.
    After that, you will see the exe file in the list. Click the graphics settings and set it to high performance.

    But beware: best performance GPU produces more heat, which leads to a higher internal temperature.

  • Qosmio X 770-13 g - Tunrs off everything at stake

    Hi @all,

    I ve you have a big problem with my Toshiba Qosmio X 770-13 g.
    I ve never user NB for the games, but now vacationing with the bad weather, I installed games like Counter Strike cs or project cars.

    After 10 to 20 Minutes (sometimes more short game, even with CS) the laptop turns off.
    I m thinking of heatproblems. I installed the software to check the temperature. I see him, which runs before turning off, the temp of GPU´s is greater than 90 degrees celsius and the temp of cpu´s is also > 90 degrees.
    I think that the connection of in this moment is the right thing, but why the NB becomes so hot? It s for games so wtf? ! ?
    There is no dirt inside.

    What I have to buy special cooling equipment to play with a mobile game?

    With the help of I m Win 8.1 64 bit with the latest version of BIOS and drivers...

    What I have to live with cela or is there a way out?

    Help, please...

    After 10 to 20 Minutes (sometimes more short game, even with CS) the laptop turns off. Thought I m of heat problems

    Yes, this could be a temperature problem.
    In most cases that the laptop turns off automatically due to the higher temperature... auto shut-off prevents the parties from damage.

    I think that the connection of in this moment is the right thing, but why the NB becomes so hot? It s for games so wtf? ! ? There is no dirt inside.

    It has been done for the games, but different parameters allow to control as well as performance of the GPU and CPU cooling performance...
    so you probably need to check it out.

    First of all, I recommend you to go to the windows advanced power options, and here, you must set the 'method of cooling' performance (for the battery and power supply)

    You can also decrease the performance of the max processor at a lower level; 90%-95%
    This would not affect performance of the laptop, but it should help to reduce the dissipation of heat.

    In addition, the laptop must be used on the table... all the ventilation openings must be free to ensure good air circulation. It is also important to keep dust free fans...

    You must also use the drivers at Toshiba graphics cards because the GPU drivers available on Toshiba pages are modified for mobile use.

  • Qosmio X 500 turns off everything at stake

    Hello world

    I need help with my Qosmio x 500, who decided to turn off when I'm in the game,

    now, I did some research on the Forum and found people with a similar problem
    so I decided to update my graphics card drivers and I thought he had fixed the issue rather than close in 5 minutes, it lasted 3 hours.

    I also disassembled my laptop and checked the fans who were free of dust was not the fans be embarrassed, my laptop is more than 2 years now but was treated more than time if you really need help with this.

    Any ideas?

    From my experience, the laptop turns off automatically due to the high internal temperature.
    It is a kind of protection and helps prevent damage to the material.

    Generally high temperature occurs due to dust inside the fans so the laptop clean using a jet of compressed air should solve these problems.

    But if you already checked the fans and if they are not clogged with dust and debris, then it must have other reasons for this

    It still may be a temperature problem? Maybe the cooling module does not work properly? Who knows
    This requires detailed audit

  • P750 satellite - black screen, freeze, blocking everything at stake

    Hi, I had my P750 not for long, and I have some problems with games.
    Most of the more recent games like NFS RUN, BF3 or FEAR 3, shows a black screen in game, freeze and then the accident I will play the game (2-10 minutes).

    Other games like BLACK OPS, ASSASSINS CREED REVELATIONS and SAINTS ROW THE THIRD, freeze and I have to press ctrl + alt + delete to continue the game again... im really disappointed with Toshiba, because although I was told that this laptop was appropriate for the game, instead I get crashes!

    This hardware problem?

    To be honest, I can't imagine that there is a hardware problem.
    Before starting your game close all unnecessary background applications, the value of power option to high performance and don't forget your laptop is placed on the desk. All the ventilation openings must be free and your laptop needs to be cooled correctly.

    Have you tested it play different games?

  • Re: Satellite P750 - white dots appear with animations, not everything at stake

    White dots appeared with all the animations but note during the matches and need info on a solution to this.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    It s a Satellite P750 with gt 540 m graphics card

    > did a update on the graphics card drivers and the computer now sometimes overheats and shuts down and also to slow.

    You must use the page of the Toshiba driver graphics driver because this driver is designed for mobile use. Drivers from other sources are not changed and lead to overheating GPU. This may damage your laptop.

    PS: it would be interesting to know if the white dots are visible on the external monitor and when you noticed these white dots exactly (what animation?)?

    I have a marvell yukon lan on my card device mother xfx 750 a, amd phenom 9550.  All my drivers are updated, but always for a reason any while I games the lan device will deactivate, cut my connection, then trying to self resolve the problem he will explore lock.  I left my computer for 3 days to see if this problem would occur without going through a game and it will not.  Even when I reboot it is always disabled and lock up when trying to turn on again, the only solution I've found, is that I have to go in safe mode and then restart.  The strange thing is that I don't have to do anything in safe mode! I connect just and restart and it will run for awhile and, normally, on one or two days later, the same thing will be happening everywhere.  Please help me, I will love you forever if you can.
