Portege R500 - CPU jump and stick to 100%

• Portege R500 - CPU is 50% (accelerator)

  My Portege R500 has to a C2D U7700 processor, who still works at half it is the maximum speed. And when I say always, I mean that lower the CPU load makes no difference, battery/power makes no difference, and power management has also makes no difference.

  Note that I speak not of the States-P! The processor goes to 1, 33GHz when I wait for him. I have NOT also speaks the thermal throttle, because the cpu is not overheating. I do not speak of the * economy Butterfly * normal energy.

  How can I know it?

  Well, I turned this processor is actually slower than an Atom N270. This could not be true, so I went to study. I downloaded [RMclock | http://cpu.rightmark.org/download.shtml] and I noticed that the throttle is never more than 50%. RMclock can turn off gas also by the force of the lever, and then YES my laptop is literally twice as fast (which can be seen in any benchmark CPU). But after 10 seconds or more, the throttle is back and the laptop is back at half it's maximum speed.

  Here's what I've tried so far:
  (1) HWSetup, the value dynamic CPU frequency Mode "still high". No change.
  (2) in Vista, select "High performance" power plan and max on the "CPU power management" option in the options advnaced. No change.
  (3) in RMclock, define the profile to * only * use the throttle to 100% State. No change.
  (4) RMclock, disable C1E instruction. No change.

  So. How can I get the gas in order to exploit and 100% when I need to? Otherwise I could buy a netbook-Atom based as well :(

  Please help :)

  Hello Touré

  It will be interesting to know if you are still using the factory with all settings preinstalled Toshiba stuff or you have maybe clean installation of the OS?

  What is the CPU load in idle state?
  What happens if you open several applications and expect more power?
  Use CPU does only 50% and remains at this level?

• Portege R500 fan turns and freezes

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 running windows XP. I seem to have problems with the fan turns very quickly upward and the laptop then freeze it. It sems happens especially when I remove the Cat5 network card and turn on the wireless network card. Toshiba have replaced the Module of cooling for me. I don't know if the problem is hardware or software, the problem sometimes at random, but as above especially when you remove the Cat5.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  This Toshiba recovery image or self created image this image that you use?
  If you have noticed this problem with own laptop preinstalled (Toshiba recovery image) I don't think that it is software issue.

  Did you speak with service days? I mean they should have enough experience with this model of laptop.

• Portege R500 - fingerprint reader and SD card reader does not work

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  I bought an opportunity Portege R500 (the warranty is still available until 12/2010) and set up with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  I installed all the drivers for Windows 7 from the specific model support page. Driver Vista have been installed for all drivers, which are not available in Windows 7.

  If everything works fine, except the fingerprint reader and the sd card slot.

  Fingerprints: I tried al a lot of drivers, even that of the R600 and R700 (such as proposed by someone here in the forum). When I run the Toshiba fingerprint utility, a text box tells me, that there is no connection with the sensor. Authentc software does not work either.

  SD card reader: I tried several SD cards from a card SD 2 GB simple and old (but functional) Kingston. According to the Director of devicce, the driver is correctly installed and running.
  The blue icon next to wireless light turns on and after a "long", a message box appears and asks me to format the card. It takes a little longer and then I get the massage, the card cannot be formatted. I tried the same procedure with a SDHC card 4 GB and a Micro SDHC card in a SD card adapter. Then of course the cards are identified but not usable and formatted.

  There are several reports of other users of the internet, the locations of sd card in computer models laptops different toshiba have problems under Windows 7.

  The two problems have emerged as well under Vista. My hope was, this upgrade to Win 7 solve poverty. Unfortunately remain the problems of th I have Win 7.

  Thanks in advance,

  Michael (Germany)

  Thanks for the feedback second
  By the way; It is a forum for user to user in this community, everyone is trying to help everyone, so if someone wants to say that he would be able to help, then you will get a response from such user maybe you should also pass a few simple threads in this forum and might help other users as well?

  Tip; BIOS update and setting BIOS by default (with F9) can solve many problems... it's worth a try...

  By the way; Win 7 is able to update the drivers automatically. I recommend that you run an update in Device Manager and let windows search for the update.

  I ve got another laptop and installed Win 7 as well. The card reader Vista driver has worked for me on Win 7 OS just a tip

• Portege R500 - Upgrade processor and RAM

  Can I put in my proceror R500 and RAM?
  Is possible? If Yes, how can you procesor I used?

  Robert

  Hello

  You can upgrade the RAM.
  You can use the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) or 533 MHz 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.
  You can use a 1 GB RAM module this is the max!
  There is also an internal RAM which can be removed if only one slot is expandable!

  With regard to upgrading the CPU.
  Usually it s not advised to replace/upgrade of the processor because the BIOS has not been tested with other processors

• Portege R500: Fingerprint Software and VIsta SP1 problems

  I encounter another problem which seems to be related to the fingerprint software. If I install the software, no issue arises. Once I register the fingerprints, the system slows down. Same clang of the other computers in the domain, in that I am, the response slows down gradually and then fails several times, before becoming inaccessible.

  Then as Exlopre crashes after a while. If I can stop the command, it hangs at the screen bright blue vista saying "logout". Then, the only way to turn off the computer is by holding down the power button.

  I log back in again once, unregister the fingerprint and all works well.
  Any idea? Thank you

  P.S. The software and drivers Vista SP1 and Toshiba are fully patched/updated

  Hello

  I am interested in your question, you are connected to a domain and use the fingerprint software in the network?

  Well, how it works in the Working Group?
  Have you noticed the same slowdowns system using laptop computer not connected to the network?

  Please check this because I guess that there is local connection between domain parameters (server) and your stored settings on the R500.

• 100% high CPU load and memory usage

  Hi all

  My company bought a new appliance IPS 4510 and after initial installation, I see that the CPU load and memory is 100%. The device is not in a production network. Is this normal or there is a hardware problem? Enjoy a Counselor about it.

  Concerning

  Christine

  Hi Damien,.

  It is actually normal behavior for an IPS sensor.

  To measure the actual load of an IPS sensor, you will want to monitor the "percentage load treatment" of the analytical engine that processes all inspection processing for the sensor.

  You can view these statistics by using the command 'display the scan statistics-engine '.

  Also, the sensor running version 7.0000 E4 5,0000 E4 (or later version), you can check the load percentage value Inspection displayed by the command "Display inspection-load" in its place.

  Hope that answers your query.

• Portege R500 - DVD is no longer working

  Someone at - it ideas why my DVD drive has stopped working?

  I have a Portege R500 - 11 c and in Device Manager I have a yellow exclamation mark against Bus USB controllers / USB Mass Storage Device
  When I click through for more details, he said:

  Location: Port_ #0004.Hub_ #0005

  "This device cannot start. (Code 10)

  Click on 'Search for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available. »

  Search for Solutions has the answer.

  It is strange because it is power to the player, when I put a disc in I can hear him pull up, but it becomes visible to the machine!

  Pointers would be useful.

  see you soon,
  David

  If a yellow exclamation point appears in the device, close the USB hubs\controller Manager, then a USB driver problem would be possible.
  In most cases, a new installation of USB might help to get rid of this annoying problem of USB.

  -Remove and disconnect all external USB devices that are connected to the laptop.
  -Go to the Device Manager and remove the USB hubs and USB controllers.
  -reboot the machine.

  New OS reboot should reinstall USB drivers, and the operating system should recognize the USB ports again. After this short intervention, connect the external USB CD. DVD player and check if it would show up in my computer

  Good bye

• Portege R500 and SSD update

  I have a Portege R500-S5006V with a 64 GB SSD installed.
  Currently I have space issues, but always so happy with this nice computer I don't want to replace it.

  Is it possible to upgrade to an SSD more? What kind of readers are compatible?
  I need to send to Toshiba, or a regular computer repair shop can do this for me?

  I think that the SSD in this machine is not a standard 2.5 "SATA or IDE Drive, it is 1.8" and has a ZIF connector and runs as an IDE device.

  Do a google search for "IDE ZIF SSD" and you will find a few commands which can be compatible. In theory, they should work in the R500, but I'm not 100% sure.

  An FSL can install for you for a fee.

  And you should install all the drivers you can find on the Toshiba site. After that, you use all the functions of your mobile phone and you get back to factory settings.

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.

• Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

  Hello

  I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
  I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

  Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

  Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

  Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

  Thank you
  Markus

  AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
  I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

  But I found the solutions :)
