Lenovo Ideapad y510p - memory upgrade

So since Christmas is coming, I thought it would be cool to upgrade my 8 GB RAm 16 GB my question is: what type of card Gerard, I need my lenovo ideapad y510p? and what I have to change my old memory card aswell if im buying a new?

Also is it easy to change the RAM cards?

The worst thing that can happen is that memory does not work with full 1866MTs, but it will certainly work.

The first is a 2.5 "drive, so you should replace your hard drive with it. The other works, but not as a cache. If you do not want to buy a form mSATA SSD, it is best to install the top OS. Kingston is not the best brand when it comes of SSD. Discover Crucial, Samsung, Plextor. It would be a good idea to read some current reviews and comparisons of the SSD. always keep the highest priority on reliability.

    Hello

    Just had the laptop y510p and I am trying to install Ubuntu, so I have this DVD bootable and I wanted to try out Ubuntu before you install as usual, but I can't get the laptop to bot on dvd. On the start menu options, there are only EFI and a kind of network options but not dvd.

    I tried following the instructions here, but regardless of how many times I press F1 during boot, I can't start menu and windows starts directly:

    Is it not possible to boot on dvd. The dvd is supposedly compatible with EFI and secure boot ubuntu 13.10.

    I don't understand why there is no option to rearrange devices to boot on my old PC.

    I managed to get the BIOS configuration by pressing the restart and Maj and then selecting settings UEFI firmware and I chance to the configurations of the bios, but still no way to find the option to start on a dvd.

    In windows 8 type ctr + C then the power button, then press Caps + restart and then chose the option help out and something UEFI and you will restart in the bios, then you can change the settings to disable secure boot and/or inherited instead of the UEFI boot.

    When you press F12 is the start menu, but you won't see that entries that are UEFI-compatible (if you are using the UEFI) either CD or USB

  • Lenovo ideapad Y510P what kind of hard drive is this?

    Hi people,

    I have a question. Today I want to defragment my Ideapad Y510P, but I don't know why I have 5 stations of hard drive? What type of disc is \\?\Volume{3db4... (see photo)

    Gamenick wrote:
    But that disk station is fragmented by 29%, it does not matter?

    As noted that the partition has been created by the operating system. I don't know what (probably for recovery). Since there is a schedule for Defrag I think it will be supported by the system when the time comes. So I just deal with C and D and leave the others alone. The other two partitions should be used by OKR.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad y510p and battlefield 4

    Hey all, I recently got a Lenovo y510p for the holidays and I was wondering if someone was running into the same thing, I was, and it was certainly not a brick wall haha. When I play BF4 on all the settings lowest (although it can operate on high settings easily), the laptop gets ridiculously hot a lean 10 minutes. Is this normal? What can I do about it?

    I use an external mouse and a keyboard so that I do not have physical contact with her. The laptop is elavated and I have a usb-powered fan located below. It helps significantly when I'm browsing the web or watching videos. Even when I play (steam) games like l4d2, cs strike, etc., never as hot as when I play bf4 for 10 minutes. I fear it may ruin the laptop and break everything if I continue to play.

    My computer has the same problem and I have havea Y570 and replace for this (lenovo) my Y560P they both too heated all the time. Solution get a new computer this is what I'm doing Lenovo cannot handle anything. I play Dota 2 and can hardly finish a game without my computer overheating. My fan is too loud I can hear it from downstairs and its so loud when his inactivity. If you really want to stop just get a new computer that's what I'll do after getting my computer replaced 4 times.

  • configuration problem IdeaPad Y510p sleep

    About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Lenovo ideapad y510p laptop with graphics 750 m SLI. The first thing I did was to remove the excess of bloatware that comes with the laptop and have had a very positive experience with the machine together.

    Recently, I noticed if I let my laptop idle, he spends in sleep mode pretty quickly. I tried to adjust the Power Options in the control panel to allow the computer to stay awake for as long as an hour plugged and 15 minutes on the battery, but the laptop still go to sleep after having been slowed for only 60 seconds. In troubleshooting, I tried to re - download management utility of the energy that the laptop comes with, but still, he goes into sleep in about 60 seconds. I tried to update my video drivers too, but my computer tells me that they are currently up-to-date.

    I'm not sure what I should try, but if someone else has a suggestion, I'd be happy to give it a try.

    Thanks in advance,

    Jason sheets

    Apparently my problem disappeared!

    It is dificult for me indicate exactly what measures or combination of steps worked for me, but after selecting the option 'balanced' in the power settings and adjust that power to my taste options, my cell phone is always placed in standby mode after one minute ("sleep" mode had been established at 30 minutes). I have re-uploaded Lenovos "Energy management" utility and set the settings to my liking and also installed a windows update. After a system reset, it seems that I have total control over my settings of power once more!

    I don't know if the solution lies in the update of windows, the system restarts or management utility power, but one or more of the following has solved my problem. I hope someone out there finds this helpful thread!

    Thank you very much

  • Adapter network on laptop computer Lenovo IdeaPad U350, works do not since upgrading to Windows 7.

    Hello.
    Am running windows 7 on a laptop computer Lenovo IdeaPad U350, but experiencing problems with the network adapter. Wireless connection works, but I can not connect via the direct cable connection. All of the updates were made and in device, the network card Manager (Broadcom 802.11 g network adapter) seems to work fine, BUT still I can't connect. I downloaded the driver from the manuvacturer (Lenovo) and installed. He still does not!

    Any ideas how to solve this problem? I am currently connected to the internet via a wireless connection, but need a wired connection.

    PLEASE HELP :)

    Here's a solution - eventually had to resort to using the Ethernet coz I had to transfer massive amounts of data and using the WiFi was just a bad idea.

    Agree with the above the drivers Lenovo doesn't have just a whole bunch of stuff (unzip, etc, etc) and curiously does not seem to go through the process to INSTALL anything... disappointment.

    For those of you who know how to get to the old plant 'Disc' (Yes, they still exist in Win7), you can get your hands on the drivers here http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netlink_k57.php--est comes with the good old INF files to tell the system what and where to install

    Go to disc (fuck..... another Google process [Bing since I'm on a MS Web site] the answer)...

    0 have the Admin rights
    1. open your browser.
    2. right click on computer / my computer > properties > Device Manager
    3. I hope that the offending devices (Ethernet in this case) shows prominently in the other category
    4 click on it > properties
    5 looking around for the the driver update button
    6 browse my computer for training software
    7. just choose from devices... (blah blah)
    8 have Disk (tada!)
    9. then point just where you have unpacked the driver with the permission of Broadcomm files.

    Hope that helps.

  • TPM on Ideapad y510P?

    I feel silly even asking this question, but I wonder - is it possible to activate the TPM on an Ideapad y510P with a upgraded BIOS or don't chip that comes with the 510 simply not supported TPM?

    Thank you.

    Hi jetboy2k

    According to all PDFs of this model, I don't think that it has a function to use the TPM.

    However, this thread can help,

  • IdeaPad y510p clean Windows 7 install - SSD not detected

    I bought a new Ideapad y510p just before Christmas and I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7-64 bit.

    I created a USB startup device as required and put the drivers from lenovo on her page too.

    My problem is: after you delete the partitions, the installer of windows 7 do not recognize the SSD more...
    My BIOS is set with legacy of disabled secure boot support.

    Furthermore, when it came to load the drivers, it says no driver signed device not found.

    Someone has an idea of what's going on?

    Hi Clet,

    Since the serial number on this picture, you have the 59375625 model. After digging further, this parts search page and this point merchant does not seem an SSD on the specifications list. If the reception / box indicates that you have a 1 TB + 24 GB SSD, you may need to check under the hood (see pages 38-39 of the hardware maintenance manual)

  • Lenovo IdeaPad Y400 evolution Options

    Hello

    I plan to buy a Lenovo IdeaPad Y400 in the coming days.

    The shop I bought it from has the following characteristics:

    i7-3630QM

    -Windows 8

    -8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM

    -1 TB SATA HDD (5400 RPM)

    Modular DVD drive

    -NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2 GB GDDR5

    I noticed that the HARD drive is certainly going to be too slow for me, and I therefore intend to improve, among other things.

    I will be performing the following improvements:

    -Windows 8 Pro

    -16 GB of RAM (DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Crucial 8 GB x 2)

    -M4 CRUCIAL 128 GB MSATA

    -WD 2.5 "SATA 7200 RPM 16 MB black 750 GB

    My upgrade plan works with the Y400?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    The upgrade of the operating system will not be a problem. However, this could ruin a key recovery.
    The specification of the ram is the same that mentions critical, then ram won't be a problem either
    The msata must fit and hard drive would also not much of a problem,

  • IdeaPad Y510p lights.

    I have recently bought an ideapad y510p from newegg a few days ago. I tried to put in place and all that, try to get rid of programs that came preloaded with the laptop because I don't think that I would need them. I then close, put it down and open again and now it won't turn. It seems that both the power light and the battery are both, as well as the power light, but the screen itself is empty and I can't hear the computer being on. I tried holding down the power button / stop and resetting, as well as the battery and using only the AC to see if things were going to turn on but nothing works. I'm worried I might have deleted something important, but I was especially removal programs related to media players of poor quality and other similar services. It is quite upsetting I just got this laptop and he already died on me!

    I tried this procedure, nothing happened. For some strange reason when I press on and hold the power button, the light if turned off but just because I have my finger light is switched on immediately.

    I'll take the initiative and move forward to send it to lenovo for repair. It is covered by the warranty, so I'm more worried that I am pained and frustrated by the situation.

  • Lenovo Ideapad Y500A does support SLI?

    I really want to understand if this model supports SLI? I mean not integrated double 2x2gb but with different optical drive. I mean 2 GB PC and 2 GB with optical drive. I'll connect and tell me if its support SLI. Thank you!!!

    It gives... Memory card: 2x2gb GDDR5, dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M graphics

    The Y500 comes with a second 650 M in the optical drive. This means a few things

    1. you will not have a DVD/CD player to use on the laptop (you can always buy an external)

    2. your laptop graphics and power games will be about 1.5 x as having 1 graphics card

    3. you will have 4 GB memory graphics, 2 GB of the here already to 650 m and 2 GB of 650 m, into the ultrabay slot

  • Lenovo ideapad y410p slow boot start

I have windows 8.1 so I wonder if this is the case, but the thing is that I had both with windows 8 boot even before I upgraded to 8.1. Is it possible to reduce the speed of boot?

  • New Lenovo Ideapad Z710 friend refuses to install the touchpad driver.

    A few weeks ago my friend bought new a laptop Lenovo Ideapad Z710 pre-installed with Win8. I "upgraded" to Windows 7 for him, as none of us can handle the new OS. Usually, I have no trouble to reinstall the drivers after installing a new OS, but for some reason that its touchpad driver does NOT install.

    I use the official driver for his computer, apparently is a synaptics driver and it says it should work completely fine with Windows 7, but when I try to run the installation, I get the error "Synaptics Device Not Found!"

    There are a few issues that I believe are related to the driver not being installed that can tell you something. When he closes the lid of the laptop and open it again, the mouse jumps over the screen constantly, and he can't use the computer until it restarts. In addition, he cannot turn his touchpad, which I suppose is a function that comes with the driver.

    Any help or contribution is greatly appreciated, if you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.

    Thanks again,
    -Tyler

    Are you sure the touchpad isn't a Synaptics touchpad ElanTech? If ElanTech, try to uninstall the currently installed driver. Then install the driver from the website. During the installation of the driver not to put a check mark in the box that says driver Synaptics install now.
