How to slow down the Power On Self Test?

The Dell 'splash screen' that allows you to select a function key is visible for less than a second - enuff not long to enter a function key. However, there is an entry in BIOS A02 ("HDD protection characteristic" under "Security") that seems to slow down the procedure, but the next screen appears in Chinese. Obviously not a good solution.

(1) everyone knows this?

(2) have you been able to fix?

Thanx.

Inspiron 620 is up to the A10BIOS version, then you can consider to update if you do not yet have A02.

Various updates of BIOS have set noise of fan, NIC and WOL problems issues and problems of memory management, so it might be useful for you. Note that A10 should have all the updates/fixes from earlier versions, so you should go directly to the A10.

Read and follow carefully the instructions to Flash the BIOS. And keep in mind there is always a (small) chance that a BIOS update will fail and brick the motherboard.

  • 850 - 009na M1Z34EA #ABU: CPU fan for the 850-009na feel like Phoenix does not turn down after the power - on self test unless the BIOS is entered

    Hello

    I have posted responses to other posts on this topic, but thought I'd start a new thread to gather my conclusions. I'm sorry for a trial

    This PC is virtually brand new (only a few weeks now) and otherwise perform exceptionally.

    Basically, if the machine is disconnected from the power grid (i.e. the power is off at the plug or the power cord removed), when the machine is supplied then the CPU fan turns over 2000 rpm and stays there. All the other PC that I do this too, but the fan will slow down after turning upward. I know that this is done as part of the POST to check that the fan is running.

    If I go into any installation of seed, start-up or BIOS for example (i.e. by pressing ESC or F10 etc.), the fan will slow down immediately up to 700 rpm. It will stay like that until the next time the machine is started against the cold. If I shut down the PC - watch or stop - but do not cut the power supply, then the next time the machine is started, the fan is still about 700 rpm. It is not to turn up to 2 k + RPM when lit.

    As soon as I unplug, then the next time the PC boots, it will turn to the top and I have to repeat steps - off, boot, enter the BIOS, exit and continue. It is something to do with the cold start.

    Note that I don't have to do anything in the start menu - I for example go to the BIOS settings, exit without saving the changes, and the fan will still slow. It's going in the boot sector that slows down the fan.

    When the PC started out-of-the-box, I opted for the upgrade to Windows 10 during installation. I have read in various places that people had experienced after the upgrade, so I reset the machine to factory settings (Win 8.1) and have not upgraded, but the problem persisted. However convinces me that Windows 10 has been removed completely, as when I went to restore the backup image (i.e. dating back to what I had before the factory reset) there are references to 10 Windows (for example, it says 'Continue to Windows 10' as well as various food options). I do not understand UEFI so I don't know if that was involved.

    I tried to change the power plan options "Processor power management-> cooling system strategy" on the liabilities side, but no joy there.

    I think that the fan and sensors work, based on the findings below. These readings of temp and fan are taken from AIDA64

    After starting cold (current was cut, without entering the BIOS), machine runs dry without load

    Exactly the same thing--starting in cold, but go in the BIOS, do nothing and continue. Once again, no load

    This is after power off and resarting, but to let the PC network

    After the above, I used Prime95 to put the CPU support (use of 95-100%), and after an hour, the readings are:

    Note that even so, the fan was not particularly strong, but it's at 2222 rpm as in the first reading.

    If I play at 4K (the whole point of the PC ) the CPU so far got very warm, the GPU is but his fan turns up as planned.

    In conclusion, it seems that the POST has a problem because it does not slow down the fan after the test.

    I can live with let the machine always plugged into the sector (for example, most of the time) and I guess that's what most people do, but I would like to know what the problem is (for example if it's really something 10 Windows, or a bug in the BIOS/UEFI)

    Thank you very much!

    Explain you a lot of people who maybe have returned their system immediately because of this? Others might judge normal sound. Not irritable average is not coming here to complain. Others might judge her so little. They simply don't like. You will never convince me that is not a BIOS problem. As the problem resolves itself when you enter manually each time. It can be reproduced every time.

  • How to slow down the effects of movement Scroll and anchors?

    I use an arrow pointing downwards to position the user to scroll to the next section. I thought I could automate linking arrow to an anchor point that is positioned to the bottom of the page. Cool, it works. However, the jump is so fast that all the fancy Scroll motion effects I use the next section are almost invisible. I see that this site doing what I want to when you press the "Scroll Down" chart: Digital Marketing Agency in Johannesburg, South Africa

    Is it possible to slow down the browser scrolling on the jump to an anchor, using only the Muse?

    Thank you

    JohnS

    There is no way to control the speed of the roller, other than the distance between your trigger and anchor points. Because it uses an ease in the control, is close to the anchor to relax, the roller will be slow and even, later anchor, faster it scrolls.

  • The POST CARD is a must for PC technician solve probems when the power on self test

    I read a few details on the postcards that it is very useful in certain situations. for example inoperative device can sometimes disrupt the POSITION forcing the machine in infinite loop, which causes the PC to act as dead, no beeps and nothing on the screen.

  • Slow down the text to voice speech

    I use text-to-speech on Captivate 4.  Essentially, I like the text-to-speech feature; However, sometimes the voice is simply too fast.  I don't want to add unnecessary punctuation because I use the same text for captioning.  Anyone know how to slow down the voice (Paul), so people can actually follow what he says.

    Thank you!!

    Adobe has established VTML in Captivate 4, which is a language for the text to speech.

    It looks like this (the color added):

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \pause, \speed=30 adipisicing elit computer of \speed=30 \speed=50 \pause, sed eiusmod tempor ut \pitch=20 storage

    The \pause, creates a second break half and and a \pause. creates a complete break seconds

    The \speed= changes the speed for all of the text that comes after the tag in this segment.  In this case, I took up to 30 and then brought back up to 50 before the break and then down again at the end.

    Thte \pitch= change the tone of the speech.  I did very deep at the end.

    Here is one more in the explanation the depth of some of these days, taken from the Adobe Captivate blog:

    "

    The following commands the output voice quality to be controlled in amending its rhythm, intonation, volume and timbre. Speech output is changed to the word that follows, until the end of the command prompt.

    Speed control: Allows the French rates to be changed, expressed in an abstract scale 0-100.

    \speed=

    Example:

    \speed=60 (scale of 0-100)

    \speed=60 that this text is read at a faster speed.


    Pitch Control: allows the fundamental frequency (tone or ground) to change, expressed in the abstract scale 0-100

    \pitch=

    Example:

    \pitch=60 (scale of 0-100)

    \pitch=60 this text is read on a frequency of 60 Hz rating.

    Volume control: allows the volume (volume) to change, expressed in the abstract scale 0-100 or in decibels (dB).

    \VOLUME=

    Example:

    \VOLUME=60 (scale of 0-100)

    \VOLUME=60 that this text should be read to a rating of 60 decibels.

    Control of the stamp: allows the timbre of the voice to be modified by a change of frequency, expressed in an abstract scale 0-100.

    \timbre =

    Example:

    \timbre=60 (scale of 0-100)

    \timbre=60 this text is read to a value of 60 stamp.

    "

    If you do not have the best voice, text, get them out of the folder 'Extras' on the Captivate installation CD, or download them here:

  • How do I disable Adobe Flash - too many sites have Flash ads that slow down the browser unless an analysis.

    Some pages contain 3, 4, 5 or more adobe flash ads running at the same time, which slows down the browser a lot. Then, if you happen to have several tabs open, the browser is dragging virtually interrupted and many times is not responding at all.

    I would like to be able to choose whether or not a page can run flash content - not it be something that works all the time for each page, with the only option being to kill the plugincontainer process in taskmanager - who kills even the Adobe Flash elements you can watch; like a youtube video.

    Why is there not a way to disable Adobe Flash in the browser? I have updated Firefox and Adobe Flash, but nowhere is there at - it an option to turn on or off according to your needs.

    A control can be added to the Internet Options that you can set to have a page request before it is allowed to run the Flash content? Having that kind of control would GREATLY increase the pleasure of sailing on several pages.

    Any information on how to do it, would be appreciated.

    Hello, this is already possible in firefox: go to firefox/tools > addons > plugins and shockwave flash to Activategame. then the plugin will be disabled by default but can be enabled on a site-by-site basis.

  • Why FFx21, from the opening, thus creating three CACHE of INTERNET files duplicate (01, 02, 03 & tot'ng 12 MB) slows down the site?

    On the 'OPENING' Firefox for the web, there is an initial use of 12 + MB of use via INTERNET CACHE files. These files show up, when using CCleaner, as... \_CACHE_001, 002, 003 each with a size of say 4 096 Ko. The browser seems to "lag" - particularly visible when I type in one of the available search bars... I tap and then wait for the letter or the word to display. In addition, Firefox crashed several times since the upgrade to the latest version (ffox 21). I have two images CCleaner printscreen to show files so useful, but not sure how to enter them here.

    Hello, these are the files where firefox stores its cache - you won't need CCleaner (in fact, it will be only slow down the things that you have already noticed, given that these files must be recreated after the next startup of the browser), you can also clear the cache with the mechanism built into firefox: How to clear the cache of Firefox

  • Flex 2 network slows down the entire network

    I bought a Flex 2 a few weeks ago. Installed the software Office 365 and creative cloud by Adobe. Everything worked well on both networks, I connect to.

    Today, performance on the entire network is now gone to the dogs. At first, I suspected the provider or router so crossed all the routines of standard service (this disconnect, which reboot) again and again. Same face, deadly slow performance of several PC and Mac on the network.

    Then, I hit on the idea to close my Lenovo. Suddenly, network download speed of 2 MB/s and the ping from 2000 MS to more normal speeds returned.

    I restarted the Lenovo a couple of times, from 2, 4 GHz to 5 with the same result.

    At some point when I plugged the Lenovo directly into the modem (part of the diagnosis) direct speed seemed faster.

    Because the router works perfectly with all the other machines and I haven't changed a thing on it, and because the symptoms get carried away on the network when the Lenovo is cut, I can only assume that there is something to do with the Lenovo Flex 2 and how it communicates with the rest of the network.

    I should also add that I tried to plug an ethernet cable to make sure that it wasn't just a wireless thing. Still had the slow performance.

    I'm pulling my hair out over this, if I can't fix it, I can't work (no one in my office will be able to work) and will have to return the machine...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you...

    Thanks for the reply.

    After much pulling hair and analysis where the traffic was, it turns out it was a Microsoft cloud service a too aggressive drive that decided to download dozens of large files at the same time instead of in series. This excessive series of connections slowed down the rate of time and transfer of ping everything on the network. Disable updates for OneDrive during periods of work seems to have solved the problem.

    That said, working on this, I see that updates from Lenovo is continually a significant overhead. Do not understand why it takes so resources...

    Thanks again for the response...
