Y510P no bitlocker-no ideas?

With the news that truecrypt is precarious, they suggested BitLocker. I tried to find it on my Y510 but is not in all the drop down menus and even the search function shows nothing. Any ideas?

Thank you!

J.

Too bad. I just found out it is only available in Windows 8.1 pro.

  • Cool Y510p with removal of dust, good idea?

    Hi, I have a Lenovo Y510p No. SLI version and I would like to know if it is nice to cool the system faster using dusting in Lenovo management tool. After playing a game for an hour, I would like to use the dust removal tool to cool more quickly the lenovo.

    I mean, is - that bad to use 4 - 5 times a day? Seems that it is simply the fan to spin at maximum speed, nothing risky, but I don't know, I want to make sure it's OK to do that, cause an admin here says it is recomendable to use dusting twice year, and will on the contrary makes extreme (5 - 6 times per day) known.

    Thank you!

    It will not damage anything. I've been running fans gpu @ 100% on all my devices of drilling for years with no failures. If you are interested, I can publish the source code of a script that I wrote that runs continuously the dust removal process.

  • 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 Y510p low fps after fans walk up

    I had to remove my lenovo y510p and change the dc port. Now everything works fine, but there seems to be a graphics card problem or something. After I have play a game on support ~ keen, the fan blows on both sides, high speed, it seems, then after a few minutes, down my frames of ~ 30 at 1-5 fps. I have no idea why this is happening, the graphics card is updated. This happens when I play thunder of battle or war field. What could be the problem? should I take my laptop outside again?

    Correction of a problem if someone has this similar problem... All I had to do was completely reset and restore my computer. No lag, everything works just jolly now.

  • 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.

  • Lenovo Y510p 755M SLI - bad perfomance | Low FPS

    Hello

    Background

    About a year ago, I bought my Y510p. Initially the laptop seems to work well, but it took me two months to see that the enclosed second of 755M SLI card was not recognized by the system and so I realized that I had played a 755 in two months. So, after some searching on Google, I managed to activate the video card in the execution of a .bat from the lenovo Web site.

    The problem

    A few months later, I contacted a friend of mine who also bought the same laptop to play BF3 together. I asked him what he played on the settings and he said he's playing on high graphics with 50 to 60 fps. I was completely shocked, since my laptop couldn't do 50 over low heat. I went back to google and discovered others could play much much better too, I had been googling and reach your forums and others to find a solution, without result. So I decided to ingnore the problem.

    A little later I started to play Watch dogs, I had payd full price for her just know my pc can run only 18 fps on the graph low. But, I thought it was just because of the game given that more people have problems with it.

    But, recently, I checked a few gameplay videos of this laptop on youtube with the Watch dogs running game and apparently you can play with about 50 on parameters of dogs the average watch, is certainly not the case with my product!

    After a while when I'm done with all that stuff, I decided to play a little less demanding game: cs. After playing for a few weeks, I've noticed that a lot of stuttering and crashing and Yes... even once, I had to google for hours still know that SLI was causing errors and as soon as I had turned off the game ran perfectly, but only on the smaller settings.

    Yesterday, I bought a new game: dying light. Once I started, I immediately noticed that I had to scale all the graphs down to the lowest resulotions with all sorts of effects or disable setting the lowest. The game was so extremely small scale that I became extremely nauseous after playing for an hour.

    Now, these are just a few examples to give you a true vision of the problem occurring, but you may have already figured out, it wasn't just these games, the laptop was in trouble with. I also had problems, play such games of chivalry, Far cry 4, Minecraft, Saints Row, as they could only be played with 20 frames per second on the chart and the lower resolution.

    What I've tried

    Last year, I tried a whole bunch of those given the solutions I could find on the internet. These are the things I've already tried:

    -J' I updated my drivers

    -J' I reset the laptop factory and everything reinstalled about 3 times.

    -J' was playing with SLI profiles to see if this would result in anything

    -J' I re inserted the ultrabay

    -J' did regcleans and made sure I had no virus

    -J' tried a few gameboosters

    -J' checked the Task Manager to see that there is nothing wrong with the use of my material, GPU unfold to 3% by default when not gambling and the use of memory at that time is 30%.

    -J' have also checked what drivers I am using and checked if I could make some settings in the settings 3D, without result.

    Note that SLI is enabled and according to Nvidia controlpanel works perfectly.

    Also note that the laptop is set to performance max and the downclockin when not on AC and back to 100% synchronization when on AC seems to work perfectly.

    What I could try

    I might try communicating with my friends friend and ask him to run a backup and load this backup on my computer to see if the results can be different, or I could sell just the laptop.

    I have NO IDEA what I have to do on the side to see if it fixes something, this problem has been haunting me since I bought the laptop. Is there someone who can help out me?

    -Very well, so I don't know what I did, but installed a whole bunch of new pilots, charged that some tests and things seem better run now, otherwise I will probably notice in the future. Thanks for your help anyway and coming to your questions: Yes, both cards were at work.

  • Y510p Trackpad driver issues on Windows 7

    I recently bought a Lenovo Y510p. Soon after receiving it, I wiped Windows 8 and installed Windows 7. I downloaded all the Windows 7 required drivers on the Lenovo support site and install without any problems. The problem I have is that most of the time the driver for the trackpad momentum seems to have issues. Device Manager acknowledges the mouse as a generic PS/2 mouse and the options of the momentum, under control panel > mouse is not CSA listed at all.

    I found a temporary solution to the problem. Uninstalling the drivers through the Device Manager, reboot, then install drivers the momentum of the Lenovo site, then reboot, I was able to get the mouse appears in the momentum Control Panel, where I could finally set my parameters. However, after my next reboot, the mouse was absent from the Panel momentum once more, and now I'm at square. I tried the solution that had previously worked, but I got no results.

    Anyone has any ideas or similar problems that they resolved?

You use the latter driver, I was able to recognize the trackpad once, but then, as I said, after I rebooted, it was gone.

    When you install the driver of Lenovo, you uncheck "install Synaptics... » ? Then install the expanded driver located in the C:\drivers\ folder...?

  • [PROBLEM] Y510P HDMI to TV LED 32'

    I have some problems when I plug my laptop Y510P to a TV by an HDMI cable. Both (laptop and tv) detects the conection but the TV does not signal to the laptop. I tried it with a couple of different HDMIs and TVs, but I have the same problem. I also have desintalled and reinstalled the video drivers nvidia and intel, but nothing changes.

    Any idea? I'm tired of this!

    Thnks, but ive fixed! I needed to configure the display mode (double, etc.) from the Intel Graphics software, not since default Windows options. When I change the resolution, I need also to do the configuration of Intel.

  • Y510p does not properly

    So I had this problem with my Y510p slow randomly / freezing. There is no specific program or operations to do it on. It will be sometimes frozen immediately after that I connect and after 5-10 minutes I have to force a stop down. Also about 80% of the time I turn off my laptop it take 5 minutes to 5 hours to extinguish. And no it is not up-to-date, it just display the closing with the balls to do the loop.

    What I tried to ask you. I did OKR twice, the problem occurs with Windows 8 and the 8.1 update. I removed a lot of the bloatware. I disabled the fast storage to intel. I increased the pagefile, I noticed a very slight decline in frequency of things are slowing down and freezing when I put the pagefile on SSD. I've done a few "power fulshes"; Take out the battery, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, plug the charger, switch on laptop, then reinsert the battery once completed upward. I tried to do the "sfc/scannow" command in the command prompt, yes I opened it as administrator. "Tried" I want to say I typed in it and he said that Windows didn't start the program.

    I was looking for a solution for a while. I know I've tried other things but I do not remember all. If anyone has any ideas I'm game.

    Have you tried to disable expresscache in addition to fast storage? I had the same problems you did, constantly freezing, slow startup upwards and close (hours sometimes, like you have), basically completely unusable. Disabling these two things has removed all the questions I had. Only problem is the SSDS works more like a cache, which is what we paid, so it is not really a 'solution', but hey oh, worked for me.

  • Lenovo y510p using a lot of RAM when it should not

    I just had the y510p the other day, installed windows 7 64 bit and it has loaded with pilots and after installing all the car windows updates (which is almost a day of the tool) and now it seems he uses around 35% of the 8 GB RAM and comes with SLI disabled and all it remains out. Any idea what could be the cause? Looking at the Task Manager I could sum up a total of about 1 GB used but it always seems like about 3 GB used

    Yes, those look normal to me. You use 1.6 GB of ram right now which is pretty standard for Windows.

  • Y510P battery problem

    Hi all! My laptop Lenovo Y510P 2 day old has a problem with loading. I noticed that the battery was never more than 60% charged. I left that he plugged for more than 24 hours and nothing has changed. So I decided to completely drain the battery and used the laptop until it dies. With the laptop off I left that it plugged in until battery LED wired to white indicating the battery is fully charged.

    Unfortunately, the battery still shows 60% charged. What I'm missing here? I know that some smartphones must be calibrated etc but no idea of what to know mobile ha.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hey bro, I got the same problem with my y500 when he arrived, but its an easy fix. All you need to do is open the lenovo energy management program. It must have an icon in the taskbar of office. Go it to battery you settings and switch 'Optimized battery health' to 'Maximum autonomy' and that should do the trick!

  • Y510P idle

    -Very well, so in early January of this year I had a Y510P. I bought this cause I already knew that I would be transitioning to different places and that a desktop computer would not be practical. I intend to work with on the school, watch game, movies etc. All this went perfectly well

    At the end of January, I studied abroad until the end of April. During this time I rarely had time to do much with my laptop that I was pretty busy with school and social life around it. The few times where I use it for things like watch a movie or play a game of little were very good. Anyway, when I came home to the Netherlands, I noticed he had considerably slowed down. It tends to take time for simple tasks and unfortunately the game has become something that I can't do more, hell, online games I'm called 'pc wooden guy. " Obviously I'm not very happy with my sense of mobile as a 98 machine.

    I tried to clean my disk defragmentation, registry, cleaning, the virus scan, etc..

    Nothing works, I want to reinstall my OS to see if it would work, but when I ordered my laptop, I never received an installation for Windows 8 with her disc. Any ideas?

    you use windows 8? If so upgrade to 8.1 windows and make sure all updates in windows update are done until he says there is no more updates from windows 8 shows a problem HARD drive where he launched percent use of the HARD drive at 100% and rest occupied all the time but once you've done all the updates in windows 8 , then an upgrade to 8.1 this made windows update again, and continue to make her until she finds no more updates once that he check the---> Preformance Task Manager and it should tell you how much % on the use of the HARD drive if it came down to 0% and fact of the movements of normal like 0% - 10% then HARD drive is behaving normal again this is due to a bug confirmed by microsoft in windows 8.

  • Y510p problem with jack

    Hello

    A few days ago I bought the new y510p and I have a problem with headphones.

    When I put headphones jack slot after a few minutes, I can see message on the next connection and disconnection. It is to arrive at lasting a few seconds.

    Anyway, system, sometimes with micro when I never used this slot...

    Someone has an idea?

    Thank you

    Yes, I tried. It does not work on these drivers and others. Support of Lenovo in Poland said probably a manufacturing defect.
    It is probably a hardware problem
