  • My laptop locked after I use it for several minutes.

    Hello world

    I have a really annoying problem.

    My laptop is locked after I use it for several minutes.

    When I say locked, I want to say it is the place where shows my account name and below it says locked.

    As a first step, I think it is caused by the automatic locking of cuz I'm really annoyed by this last, I uninstalled it.

    However it still does not.

    Could someone tell me what the problem is on the Earth?

    It's maybe just because I really don't know with my new laptop.

    It's a power setting that determines how long before its entry in the screen saver, sleep more, or even in hibernation mode. You can change the requirement for a password (somewhere in the Windows screen saver section) or the duration before entering these modes (you should be able to define with the Lenovo Power Center thing). Of course, making one is a security risk, but it is up to you as to how much safety or comfort desired.

    Client side, have you tested wired vs wireless to see if the problem exists in both?  If it's the only one, but not the other, try to update the drivers.  Also, if it's windows 7, take a look at the power settings in the control panel.  I saw where the aggressive powers will be stop standby network port.  Not that big of a deal in a LAN environment but it wreaks havoc on the VPN.

  • With Windows 7 online game lag s for 1 min every 15-20 minutes. Help, please!

    Just downloaded Battle of the Immortals free MMORPG and every 15-20 minutes I have a lag of 1 min where the game slows to an almost unplayable State. First I thought that maybe my internet has strangled so I called my ISP. They ran a few test and said that everything was running at 100%... So next time, I contact the support team technique video games... They had run me a dxdiag and a program to hack... I also ran a tracer on my connection just to show them this is not not my internet... Then, they responded and said "it could be Windows, Windows Firewall, Admin, UAC, network or anti-virus settings you need to change so that they are not blocking or limiting the game." I tried everything until I even contacted them... I watched my CPU usage and prosesses and nothing no longer uses the CPU than normal usage... I have no virus and I just bought this processor so there may not be a hardware malfunction about 2 months... More 5 other online games I play run very well... I also tried setting the game as high priority in windows Task Manager... That which seemed to work for about 6 hours but now my windows task manager keeps reseting back to normal priority. I downloaded a program called Prio which is suppose to set a permanent priority... Well, this program has not completely... I also tried to run the program with the resolution of the problems of compatibility and as an administrator... Without success... I have also all the drivers for all... I have triple checked the drivers... Help, please!

    MY CPU Specs:

    AMD Athlon (TM) II X 4 820 2.80

    RAM: 8,00

    64-bit operating system

    Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 9100

    1 Terrabyte HARD drive

    Well I think I got myself the solution...  I discovered that the game made my jump 20 c cpu temp... So when my CPU hits 50 - 54 c temp the game hits a pic gal... Currently, I have on my open cpu and a fan blowing on the one side and I had 3 hours of spike no lag... It was difficult to find a limit temp CPU specific before you start to make mistakes, but what I found said it was about 50 to 60 c Temp...

    I restored the system to a point before the updates, and I managed to open a session, but the updates keep installation every time I stop and I have to keep restore to be able to connect. I changed the settings to do not automatically updates, but it keeps the installation anyway, and then it does not recognize my password until I have restore back again before the updates on 10/14. How can I hide the updates or otherwise prevent install?

  • My Windows 7 keeps freezing after 5 to 20 minutes.

    Hello

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 15R under Windows 7 Home Premium. The problem is that it freezes sometimes after about 5-20 minutes or more. I ran various tests with different anti-virus programs antivirus and always they detected nothing unexpected (Malware Bytes, Eset antivirus). I was wondering if someone could help me with this because today I had to reboot my computer more than 12 times. Also, when it is frozen I can't do anything at all except the press and hold the power button until the laptop turns off. It is a real pain so if I could get an answer as soon as POSSIBLE, that would be wonderful!

    Method 1:

    Let's first try run the troubleshooter modern UI App and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you to temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps to disable the security software:

    a. Locate the security software installed on your computer in the search option of Windows 8.

    b. click on the settings tab.

    c. uncheck the option to turn on the security of the software.

    d. click the save changes button.

    e. After you disable security software, check if it helps.

    Note:

    (1) once you have completed troubleshooting, ensure that you have enabled the option Turn on software security under the settings tab.

    (2) security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Vista Windows automatically locks

    Hello!

    A few days ago I left my laptop compaq so that Windows Vista Home Basic is open and maybe my baby cousins, touched, after returning a few minutes later, I found that Windows vista has been unable to work properly. Every time when I started the computer, after entering my password and log, Windows vista automatically locks the computer just in few seconds and asks me to connect it again. I type my password again, and then it opens and even once will lock automatically and asks me to log in again and again...

    I can't really understand what to do with it... I don't want to reinstall Windows vista, so it might be impossible for me... what I need to do? Hope to receive useful information for it...

    BTW, I did check the hard disk with BIOS, and it showed no errors on.

    Thanks in advance!

    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
