New laptop password AC power to the battery when you play a game.

I got an IdeaPad P580 (i7, HDD 750 GB, 8 GB of ram, nvidia gt 630 m) a few weeks ago. A week ago I started having this problem where whenever I play a game, he's going off the AC power and the battery or vacillates between the two.

He did this in Grand Theft Auto IV, Fallout: New Vegas and same Minecraft. Sometimes even outside of the games, but this is rare. After closing a game once, he would be off AC for a few seconds every time I opened a new tab in my browser!

It doesn't matter what mode of energy that I use. The latest graphics drivers are installed. No matter if I use the Nvidia card or disable it in the bios and use the integrated Intel graphics card. I have tried everything I can think; I plugged the AC adapter into a wall directly instead of a surge protector, etc..

When the laptop is, there are three lights on the front under the touchpad. The two left are usually, but sometimes when it produces in the Middle it turns red.

If I remove the battery and just use the AC, the laptop just shut off after a second or two in the real game.

Someone at - it ideas? Nothing at all, even if you think it's a long shot. It of frustrating to buy a new laptop and then happen, especially since the problem with my old laptop has been playing games would cut (which was overheated, which appears not to be as it is not hot).

Hmm. you have no overclock your right to gt630?

cutting like that usually means not enough power is supplied by the power brick, or the connection is loose.

How many watts is the power brick?

If the power is firmly connected, first thing to do is call lenovo and ask them to send you a new power brick.

If the problem persists, you may have a bad mother power connector. It could be opening itself, or the connector on the motherboard.

How many times you plug and unplug the power cord? and you do it with force? If you are not sweet, the brackets that hold the power port may crack.

    Thanks for the replies!

    sweppes,
    It was just a possibility that heat is a problem.  Also in your games if you operate in high res\max video settings you can turn them down to smaller settings and test.

    You also mentioned that the motherboard has not yet all drivers for Windows 7.  Maybe it's that you will have this kind of problem until you get correct chipset drivers.

  • Satellite P500 - 14L - can not see the mouse when you play the game

    I use P500 - 14L, the graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M with CUDA technology. Unfortunately, when I play C & C 4 game, I do not yet see my mouse cursor.

    Did anyone had this problem before? How can I sort?

    Hi vincentcky,

    This only happens on C & C4 game or with other games too?

    You should look for a patch for this game. You can find it on the site of the factory.
    Additionally, make sure that the latest version of DirectX is installed.

    Last but not least, it would be interesting to know what operating system you have.

    Trouble with all games jump on the desk. I reinstalled windows 7 two times and done all the updates and still this problem persists.

    Brand new computer

    Windows 7 64 bit

  • Black bar very annoying on the right side of the screen when you play

    Hello

    I have read this is a common problem, but it doesn't seem to be a solution that works with everyone.

    About 10% of the screen is just a black vertical bar, as if the screen has moved to the left 3 cm

    I have tried a few techniques I've read including the change resolution to 1024, then turn on full screen, wide mode then reset the resolution... has worked a few times, but remains when it is no more to do after every restart (what a pain)

    Anyone got a more permanent solution?

    I've found a workaround (posted by hp)

    The obvious solution is to get the latest version of the bios, choosing fixed instead of dynamic stick and just with the gpu on board

    I found the solution (no thanks to hp) for those who want their laptop to act like it's supposed to without resorting to workaround...

    which means to choose a dynamic transition and still play their favourie without black bars that blocked views

    in any case, credit when it is earned, a guy named kharn83

    Download drivers ATI 11.9 or 64 ones

    just install this driver from HP on top and restart...

  • NetBook - problems with the size of the screen when you play

    Hello, I recently got a netbook 9 "and when I try to play games on it, the entire game screen does not fit into the netbook screen.  This means that I can't play anywhere the menu or game etc controls are at the bottom of the screen. Can someone tell me if I can fix the problem please?

    Hello Janspack.

    9-inch netbooks generally have screens of 1024 x 600.  Most games have settings to choose their resolution, choose something like 800 x 600 or 1024 x 600, if they support it, and that should solve it for games that operate at full screen.

    If you talk about browser based games, unfortunately they often have a fixed resolution.  In Internet Explorer, you can go to tools-> full screen to hide the browser frame that will free up a little space, but other than that there is not a lot that can be done about it, it's an a limit to have such a low vertical resolution. I crawled off NNTP - for now. Announcement of Yeovil, United Kingdom. On the internet at www.windowsresource.net. Please post back to let us know what works and what does not. :-)

  • Satellite A500 - 17 X white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    When I boot A500-17 x to the power of the battery, it's get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.

    After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

    There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Very strange problem
    Have you noticed this problem from the beginning?

    First check if your BIOS is up to date. Updated the BIOS if the new version is available.
    In addition it would be recommended to update the display driver.

    But if two updates don't change this, then I recommend you contact an ASP in your country. It could be a hardware problem.

  • After a minute to the power of the battery turns off my Satellite 1400

    Hello! I need your help! Whenever I go to the power of the battery, all of a sudden, a minute later, my laptop turns off without reason! The battery is fully charged. What do you think is the problem? My laptop is 4 years old.
    It is a Satellite 1400.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi Krissy

    In my opinion, everything that happens has a reason any. From your description, I think that the battery is at the end and should be replaced.

    It may be that the battery is full, but there is not enough power. I have a similar problem with Tecra 9000. Unit is also about 4 years. On battery it maybe rolls 10 minutes but after that this time he switched down suddenly.

  • Satellite L755 - suddenly then turn off blinking of power and the battery LEDs

    In recent weeks, when using the laptop (Satellite L755 psk2ye) he died suddenly and the power and the battery leds start flashing simultaneously.

    It also takes place when charging the battery when the unit is off... then l must cut off the power and he'll be back... Although the problem sometimes occurs again after a few minutes hours or does not...

    Remove the battery and check if the same problem occur when you use laptops with power running.

    Please post comments.
