the cpu of my pc acer aspire 9423 xp media center is blocked at a frequency of 1Ghz, while an Intel T5500 CPU is expected to operate at 1.66 GHz. I changed my HDD, the ram and cpu for intel T7200 and always my cpu to 1ghz.
I bought Dell Inspiron 5000 (5748) with Windows 8.1CPU Frequency is low from 0.76 - 0.78 GHz and when I start to load more programs(video render, 3d, CPU stress test) computer slow down and load is no higher than 40%, CPU remain the same(0.76).
Tried to change profile in power control, enable hidden menu for power control of CPU, in BIOS disable function for frequency adjustment - all is useless. How to force CPU to work on all his power when is need?CPU Intel® Core™ i7 4510U (2 GHz/cache - 4 Mb)
after using for sometime(one is i locked my laptop, go out for few hours. the 2nd time is when i watching movies for around 15mins), the keyboard will somehow "off" or "disable", means u still can use the mouse, clicking everything n its fine, but the keyboard just cannot type anything.
i than decided to restart the laptop. but than after the os shut down, the laptop unable to restart. its just black screen. so i press the power button to off it. switch on, n it never boot up, not even bios appear. tried a few times unable to on.
i than plug out the power, which than able to boot up successfully on batt.
The number keys on the right are locked and I cant use them. When I press the numlock key it just beeps and a pad lock open and shut on the screen. I bought this laptop especially for these number keys.
Forgive me if I missed something (or know nothing about RAM), but why is CPU-Z reporting that my DRAM frequency is only 532MHz (Memory tab > Timings; also in SPD tab > Memory Slot Selection > Max Bandwidth = PC3-8500F (533MHz)?
The last bios update for the Notebook probook 4320s did something odd to my notebook, the cpu frequency never get to full speed as i found out after so many tries its a BIOS bug
If i boot with battery fully charged and power ac on the cpu gets to 933 mhz if i remove the power cord cpu gets to 1200mhz i have to reboot with only the battery for the CPU to get to 2200mhz as its the I3 speed
There is no way to disable speed step or to disable bios control power .....
My old Acer Ferrari was protected with a bios password that i personally used. However I was giving away my old laptop and tried to clear out my bios password for its new user.
What happened was i simply put nothing when it asks to enter the new password in the bios..i just hit enter. Now the system keeps asking for a password when i have none to give. Even the old password doesn't work, as does just hitting enter. I don't know if anyone still knows tricks of the trade for this old system but anything could be helpful.
I've been trying to find a backdoor password but I can't find any that works and Acer won't help me cause I don't have warranty anymore since the laptop is old.
I have problem with High CPU Frequency and Voltage when set on High Preformance, frequency is over 3,2 GHZ, and Voltage is 20+ Wat, even if CPU usage is from 0 to 10 %.
i bought my wife a netbook, as she specifically requested, thing is, on 3cell 3hrs are great, but it has begun to "tear" a lot in WINXP.....
background services...etc have been seen to
so i check out CPUID and lavalys.....both showing Proc working along at 800mhz....i have tried to change power profile in XP ..... and tried making a new one, but there is no way to reduce that tearing effect...... it feels a bit sluggish to me, i am going to add a 2G module (accepts Elipda 2G module from my HP DV5T) so some RAM along those lines is wha i am aiming for......
how to stop/ allow the laptop to clock on OS load....cuz the 800mhz on the netbook is unacceptable.
just like my sony laptop FW510f, it have the ATI 4650, but the GPU frequency is 450 and memory is 600. i think dell can do like it to avoid the fan's noisy(its runs when i press the start button), and the throttling problem.
BTW: my 1647's fan keep spin and the gpu temp is 50 when its idle, is it normal? the ambient no more than 20c
My HP Pavilion dv6-6113tx Entertainment Notebook PC is not detecting 5GHz frequency signals. I tried to check my wireless network software update and that too is up to date. My colleague suggested me to attach an external dual band wireless dongal. Is that possible to replace the network card with a dual band one if this machine does not have that one. I am really annoyed with my laptop wifi. It is working with 2.4GHz wifi signal, but due to interference problem as stated by internet provider it is not working at good speed and speed fluctuates a lot.
My Aspire 5741z-5539 is locked up in the disk repair mode from system recivery (repir my computer). I have ordered a new hardrive. I would like to use a disc imge to transferr all the partitions and system restore data to the new hard drive. How can i do this. And is this the only option left open to me. to restores the operating system and system configuration.

My Aspire E15's brightness is locked at maximum capacity. I can't change it in power options or with the Fn key. It is the same whether connected to the AC adapter or not. While using the Fn key and pressing Fn+Left Key or Fn+Right Key, the on-screen brightness indicator alternates between two levels but the brightness of the screen doesn't change.
I Recently purchased an Acer Aspire One D257 - 13473 with mfg. date 2011/07/04 pre-owned at a garage sale. it had a dead hard drive when i purchased it, which was not a huge issue, and i replaced it.
then i was severely disappointed.
I went to try and configure this computer for my own use, but turns out there's (what im assuming to be a BIOS password, since the HDD has been replaced) a password to access the F2 SETUP Menu on this machine. i was really hoping that since I've already upgraded the RAM and replaced the hard drive that i could get this machine actually functionable again.
I havea serious problem with my G510 i7 4700MQ.When i plug the power adapter the cpu frequency is set 798 Mhz.When i UNplug the power adapter i can reach maximum 2.4 Ghz.Obvisously i cannot get turbo 3.4Ghz at all.Graphics adapter frequency is also drops to 200 Mhz when i plug the power adapter. is it a buggy notebook? My bios version is 3.05 and i know that the newer version is 3.09 but bios update is only available in Windows 8. I've got windows 7 intel processor diagnostic tool shows FAILED when accessing cpu frequency.
lost/forgot all passwords(embarassing event) now notebook locked in boot menu F2-F12 with screen that says please type in admin oradmin password.also disc stuck in drive as it will not eject in boot up system.
I have an XPS Gen 2 Laptop. I know its like ancient now but after 3 years its still running pretty well. The problem is I'm getting severe fps drops in games and I realized something strange happened to my cpu.
The cpu load is going crazy because the cpu clock speed is locked at 800mhz.
I thought it was something wrong with SpeedStep but I turned that off and nothing changed. My cpu will not go past 800mhz.
Why is my cpu downclocked and what can I do to make it normal again. Dell BIOS doesn't really let u manipulate anything.'
CPU-Z shows
Core Speed: 798 MHz Multiplier: x 6 Bus Speed: 133 Mhz Rated FSB: 532
I have a HP Envy m6-k010dx and it seems like the fn button is locked. Every time I hit the volume or brightness buttons it is like I was holding down the fn key as well.
My friend was given an E1705 (electronics pallet) that has BIOS p/w locked. It has an MX25L8005 bios chip. Can the password be read using an eeprom reader?
How to get into the Bios of a Pavillion G6 laptop that has got a password protecting it. After 3 attempts I get the system disabled, it gave me a code 71690505 ....
However, I'm using Linux. The button is completely not working - LED diode that's next to it isn't working too. I know it's driver issue, since touchpad requires driver with this feature. Is there such driver for this touchpad for Linux?
i've been aware of the bluetooth widcomm and the logitech software causes the moment where you'll get a black screen after the windows loading screen then you just need to restart the laptop to enter into windows.
i really think that this is the cause in my case because whenever i disabled the logitech webcam, i don't get any locked up, although when i enable it, then restart the machine, i don't usually get the locked up.
The weird part is that when i leaved the laptop at least for some few hours (note that i enabled the logitech webcam here), the issue arises, so i need to restart the laptop using the power button once to get inside windows.
My solution here is to disable the logitech webcam which i don't like because whenever i need the camera the laptop will ask me to restart the computer.
I would like to ask if there is any other solution for this? any new software? i don't like to uninstall any software unless its really the solution.
My dell xps 12 ultrabook has been disabled after three failed attempts the password on boot. But now that I put the correct password continuously telling me the password is incorrect.
Got a new Envy 15t and spent a couple of hours with it and then left town and had a big project and when I came back 3 weeks later and powered up, the password I always use didn't work.
If I had used a new/different password when I set this up, I would have written it down and I can't find anything in the file that would suggest I didn't use my normal PC password.
Is it possible that I never reset the password? If so, is there a standard password that the laptop is shipped with?
We have bought a bunch of Latitudes E7240 and deployed them with the new Dell Data Protection | Security Tools (DDP|ST).Now we have discovered that if you attempt to login with the wrong credentials the device (HDD) will be locked.This is expected as it is one of the purpose of having Disk encryption enabled BUT if a user accidentally lock the HDD by typing wrong credentials you would expect to be able to UNLOCK it with the admin password. (You create one when first enabling DDP|ST)
So, the user forgot he's credentials and the screen only shows "The device is locked, contact your administrator" and with NO OPTIONS what so ever! How do I, as the administrator unlock the HDD? Where do I type the admin password?
My laptop, DELL Inspiron 1440 Model number (42L) will not let me log in. My hint is 'mtw dog' but I can't figure out the correct password and I can't find it anywhere.
