Why is my modem 56 k running at half speed

I have to located 17 miles from the nearest town (las vegas, NM) and I just phone service.  When outgoing calls, I can connect only to 26 400 bps.   I am running windows XP Professional on a laptop that worked very well with the modem link 56 k.

Your modem will run at maximum speed it can, given the quality of your phone line.  The telephone line must pass, more bandwidth which can be taken in charge.  The phone company usually has diagnostics which will assess the quality of your line and determine the baud rate that it will support.  Sometimes, they go out and try to improve the quality... but if you are all by yourself 17 miles from the nearest town and your quality is semi-decent, they can ask to live with what you have.

  • HP dx2000MT: why fan runs on high speed

    Hello, the fan in this machine works sometimes at high speed, can someone tell me why or what I can do to stop this please?

    The most common cause of a computer running at max speed fan is a processor overheating.

    This can be caused by:

    -Extended heavy load on the processor.

    -Malware can cause this.

    -If you use many programs at the same time as background tasks, who will do as well.

    -Dirty/dusty in the computer heat sinks.

    -Malfunctioning components from the motherboard.

    -Bad placement of the computer.

    -Desktop computers should be placed where they receive lots of air circulation.

    -They should also be placed away from heater vents / air conditioning floor. AC vents may be tempting to cool the machine but will cause condensation and destroy it.

    -Observe the fresh air intakes where on the computer. Generally low and/or front of the chassis. If there is a substantive contribution, move the unit out of the carpet and on a hard surface.

    -Do not keep the Tower in a small enclosed space. Computer Cabinet should never have the door closed with the runinng machine.

    -If it was a laptop, you also to maintain it on a soft surface such as beds and prefer to use it on a desk, or on the binder or other similar when surface into the fold.

    -Vista-era of HP computers are completely garbage as well. (Sorry HP, but it's true). Watch by substituting a newer computer. The new HP machines are not nearly as terrible as those made when Vista was released.

    Change Data Execution Prevention settings

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that protects against viruses and other security threats by analyzing your programs to make sure that they use the system safely memory.

    If you choose to protect all programs, you can always turn off DEP for individual programs. If you think that a program does not run correctly when DEP is enabled, check for a compatible version of the DEP program or an update from the software publisher before you change your DEP settings.

    1. Click to open the system.

    2. Click Advanced system settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Under performance, click settings.

    4. Click the Data Execution Prevention tab, and then click turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.

      To turn off DEP for an individual program

      • Select the check box next to the program that you want to turn off DEP for and then click OK.

        If the program is not in the list, click Add. Navigate to the Program files, search for the executable file of the program (it will have the .exe extension) and then click Open.

      To turn on DEP for an individual program

      • Clear the check box next to the program that you want to turn on DEP for and then click OK.

  • Case fan runs at full speed

    I accidentally shorted the circuit case fan on my motherboard HP (explanation below), and now the fan runs at full speed all the time. Apart from the fact that it was a stupid thing to do, it will be a long term problem and should I try to reset the fan speed switch?

    (Long version) It's hot here these days and my computer fans seemed underpowered. I put a splitter at the exit of the case on the motherboard fan and added a second fan in addition to the original fan. All it worked well except the new fan seems to run pretty slow. I wanted to get a voltage reading card fan, but I accidentally hit the two sensors on my voltmeter and the computer shuts down immediately. He has started up and worked well, except that the throttle was no longer working and the fans were running at full speed. This also explains why the second fan turned slowly before when they were both being strangled.

    I guess that in the end I got my wish to have my fans running at full power, I just wanted to see if there are future problems leaving this way.

    Hello design_guy,

    You should not have problems with the fan rotating at high speed, with the exception that you can reduce the life cycle of the fan.

    You can install software on the computer that will allow you to adjust the speed of the fan to the computer which may help you extend the life of the fans and give you a bit of control over them.

    Something like SpeedFan should do the trick.

    Hello!

    My iMac 27 "has an intermittent problem with the CPU fan runs at full speed. Sometimes it happens at the time when I start it, sometimes only in my session, and sometimes only after a certain time. So does seem to be a problem of "heating".

    Second issue is with the mode 'sleep'. It may occur also at any time, at the start of the iMac, session, or after a certain time. But once he starts to go in mode 'sleep', when I wake up, it goes right back in mode after a few seconds and that it will continue indefinitely until I restart the computer.

  • CPU runs at half the frequency in Satellite

    Not sure if it is a problem, but the CPU runs at half the frequency. I put the high performance plan and still the same. I think it should work at full power.

    What you think about this?
    Is it normal?

    Hello

    The Intel CPU supports the Intel Turbo Boost technology
    Dynamically, this Intel Turbo Boost technology increases the frequency of the processor as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power margin to give a burst of speed when you need it and increase energy efficiency when you don t.

    The CPU also supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology

    Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology is a means of which allows high performance while meeting the needs of conservation of energy of advanced mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology puts both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to the processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology is based on this architecture using design strategies such as the separation between the voltage and the frequency changes and clock partitioning and recovery.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - fan runs at full speed

    I've had my laptop for a few years, and for about a week now when I first turn on the fan runs at full speed. I restart the computer immediately and fun runs normally. I suspect overheating or dust problems since it works at full speed as soon as it is powered but not after a reboot. I left at full speed for a long time to see what is happening - I is not too annoying. I usually restart immediately.

    Hello

    I doubt the s sensor issue or something like that
    Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. The fan table that contains all the details about the features of the cooling module is stored in the BIOS and I recommend the default BIOS settings first

    So, start the laptop, press F2 and access the BIOS.
    Press F9 to get the BIOS default settings, and then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Of course, the cooling modules must be verified if the vents are not blocked
    The dust is more a cause of such symptoms
    Remove dust using a jet of compressed air can be useful in your situation

    Hello

    I just bought a new Ideapad, a MBYP9GE Z500, that I got no windows, when I turn on the laptop it works in the BIOS. The problem I have is that the fan starts in high speed immediately and it is very noisy at start up. Is this normal? I want to say how is possible that the fan is noisy so if I am not under what whether intensive? Maybe it's because I have not installed yet any system? Or is it my laptop malfunction?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi neokenchi,

    Thank you for your response. Yesterday, I installed Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers, that solved the problem. The fan runs at high speed before installing a system was apparently the default heat setting, as you suggested.
