issue with my m4400-clock is falling behind... it all started like this- couple of days ago I put it into sleep and it suddenly turned off.
When I got home, i couldn't start it-froze on windows loading scene... then I went into bios-guess what time/date was set 25:06:66 of 33/11/22 - I corrected everything and it booted normally-but clock is falling behind! I tried format and bios update-
I've had my M4400 for less than a year now, but it's slowly falling apart, despite very good care on my part.
The problems so far:
+ 0 weeks after purchase: the fingerprint reader doesn't properly function due to driver issues
+ 2 weeks after purchase: the screen failed and had to be replaced
+ 3-4 weeks after purchase: the webcam failed (it was probably dead on arrival with the new screen) and had to be replaced
+ ~3 months after purchase: the inner bezel was permanently marked by the inside rubber feet
+ ~4 months after purchase: said rubber feet came off, causing the screen to flex more and the marks to worsen
+ ~6 months after purchase: the system frequently overheated, becoming uncomfortably hot to touch and causing an ever so slight bend in the chassis in the lower right corner
+ ~9 months after purchase: significant wear and flex on the keyboard, plus the matte surface on the lid has worn off in parts after using Dell's padded case
+ ~10 months after purchase: the black film on the left speaker is pealing off
I really love Dell, and I've bought a few systems before, but I'm quite surprised this notebook is falling apart so badly after such a short period of time.
My question is: what should I ask them to do?
Can Dell only replace individual parts, or could I get a new system from them? If so, what happens about my upgrades (RAM and HDD)? Do they take them back too?
As an aside, I know it's early days, but does the M4500 suffer from similar design defects too?
I have a brand new xps16, running wonderfully.
I've modded the desktop Catalyst 9.4 drivers, games perform well, better than the provided Dell Catalyst.
What I would like to do however, is be able to alter the GPU clocks. Not by much, just a little.
I've tried AMD GPU clock tool; but this does not let me fix new clock values for the ATI 3670. I enter a new value, and they revert to the default right away
Does anyone here use RM Clock to undervolt their CPU's for better battery life and production of less heat with regards to the CPU.
I use it and the lowest I can set it to is 0.95, I have selected mobile in the advanced settings CPU type. My results are:
T8300 CPU
8x-10x multipliers set at 0.95
11x at 0.975
12x at 1.00 .....
i am looking at dell laptop, inspiron vs latitude (both have lots of promotion going on recently)
according to wiki, both e6400 and e6500 can support ram clockspeed at 800mhz, but i can't find similar information about the inspiron models.
GPUZ shows my gpu core clock at 399.9mhz and it doesn't move - this is on my 4670 replacement that I received two days ago.
Everything is on "high performance".
What are others getting for this setting? I thought this was supposed to be 675.
I have read the entire guide, and even downloaded the 64-bit version driver( even though I'm running 64-bit Windows 7).
However, the damn program doesnt detect my CPU (P8700)! I have tried ticking "detect on startup", but it just doesnt recognize it!
Because of that, do you guys think it safe to go ahead and start undervolting anyways? Does anyone else have this problem
I was playing around with mine to get it to 645/700, but it gives way too many artifacts.
I was just wondering what everyone elase is runnign here with the same card 521 MB 7950gtx and laptop. And how in the hell do you keep it cool?
Also I am using 97.92 driver, since I cant get any 100XX drivers to recognize my 22" external LCD, but now I see in the Nvidia control panel that my monitor is not showing up. I mean it trasfers picture right, but its not shown in the options...
I was wondering why my CPU would go over its factory clock speed when i didn't even overclock it its kinda weird this is what its getting
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy XPS 1730 has a couple of issues I can't seem to resolve. I just updated the bios to the latest version but that didn't help. If I set my clock to 9:45, it will run until 10:38 and then revert back to 9:45. It will do this endlessly. When I installed the new bios, I got a message say the RTC was fixed as I might have a clock problem. The clock ran last night for about 4 hours properly. Then I closed the lid. When I opened it this morning, the clock displayed the same time as when I closed it last night.
In addition, when I leave the computer on and just close the lid, the resolution goes from the highest (my preference) to the lowest when I open the lid again.
I have a new battery in the machine as well as it was left on last night with the power cord plugged in. All I did was close the lid.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have been having a Clock Interrupt error on my Inspiron 1121 netbook, sometimes a few times a day, for a few weeks. I tried uninstalling some recently installed programs and updating my drivers.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhenever I boot up my laptop without the AC adapter plugged in I get a beeping error. 00C08270 Real Time Clock error pops up on the screen before start up. From my research it tells me that it could be the CMOS battery or the motherboard. If it's the CMOS battery I'm willing to replace the battery myself but if it's the motherboard I will probably need to go to the shop for that. What I'm afraid of is the cost. If my problem is the CMOS battery I don't know where to buy the battery replacement myself and if it's the motherboard, is it worth it to pay the cost of replacement and from what I know paying for a new OS too? or should I buy a new laptop instead?

View 3 Replies View Relatedi have ati hd4650 1gb gddr3 in this hp. should be 550 gpu clock and 667 memory clock. when i go to gpu-z graphic card tab it shows that values but when i go to the sensor tab it shows gpu core clock 220mhz and memory clock core 250 mhz.. it is on hp recommended power style. and interesting thing happens when i unplug it. memory clock core jumps to 396 mhz.. why is this so?
i checked power options and when its plugged in graphic should work for best performance.
I just got couple of days old Lenovo IdeaPad z50-75, running on AMD FX-7500.First I jsut now noticed that my CPU runs at 1.07 Ghz, before it was always over 2 Ghz or so which was good ... but maybe I touched something some where in powr settings or something and now it stays on 1.07 even when cpu pretty much utilised. I have set power plan to high performance and also Energy manager is set to high performance mode and Conservation mode is on. why it doesn't clock itself up ? I feel that it is slower than before.

Other question , im using rivatuner oc my 9500m GS (180.70), after i click "OK" button. it restore to default. what should i do.. ?
Anyone who familiar OC aspire 6920g, or expert on OC. anyguide..
it came with vista business installed, and replaced it with XP Professional.
so after that i realise that the clock changes automatically once i restart the computer.
the BIOS time is OK. and i have checked the clock config and all is OK.
can you tell me whats going wrong with it.
my Acer's been having trouble playing audio and keeping time. The clock problem's simple: ever since I got it it's lost time at a variable rate, averaging at probably around a minute every hour. Nothing I've done has managed to fix this, except in the short-term by updating it to Internet time.
More complicated have been the audio issues. These vary in severity and come and go to an extent, and I have had some success fixing them. Basically, since I got the computer, audio's been at least slightly choppy while playing videos over a period of time. Generally just playing audio files themselves work fine (unless something resource heavy going on in the background), and bizarrely playing videos through my browser (say on YouTube) has always been perfect, regardless of site, length or quality of video. But when it comes to playing anything from the hard drive regardless of whether it's WMP or VLC and regardless of bit rate, sooner or later the audio screws up. This can be either to the extent that it'll glitch every couple of seconds, that I'll lose sync with the video slightly, or loss of sound entirely. In fact, the first time I downloaded a video podcast on iTunes I was left wondering why the opening scene was so eerily silent for so long!
Now initially I was able to fix this by updating the BIOS to v1.45 and after that pretty much everything was good. It would still glitch occasionally on HD movies, and certainly still didn't like too much going on in the background, but generally nothing I couldn't handle. At least until now, when all the same problems have come back to haunt me worse than ever. I tried going on to v1.43, but no dice. And now I'm back on v1.45 in the vain hope that re-installing it might make some difference. But alas. I've looked at performance in task manager and it's ticking along at about 16% CPU usage, so nothing untoward there either. It seems like a BIOS problem because updating the BIOS fixed it, but now it's screwing up again under that same BIOS and with nothing untoward going on in the background or hitting the CPU too hard I'm totally stumped.
Basically, is there anything else I might try software wise, or is it time to give Acer a call while I'm still in warranty?
I'm trying to underclock my laptop, but am not too successful. At the moment I am trying my luck with SoftFSB. Anyone have any tip on what clock generators I could try for a Turion based system? I have the 780G/SB700 chipset. (It's an Acer 5536G).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI ordered a FW490 CTO w/ P8700, 4650 1GB, 4GB RAM, Vista 64, etc. Anyways, I was a little disappointed with how well it ran Americas Army 3. I downloaded and ran GPUZ, and I got some interesting results... It says that my 4650 uses GDDR3 memory, which is apparently the best setup for the card, but it also reports that my clock speed is 450 MHz, and my memory clock speed is 600 MHz. From everything I have gathered, that is below what most 4650 Mobilitys are at... what gives? What are the speeds of everyone elses 4650?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been reading the threads related to HP notebooks with defective nVidia GPUs and just out of curiosity, I checked the 8400M GS GPU in my roommate's HP dv2700 notebook, which normally runs @ 80 - 90 deg C, using GPU-z software. The sensor data matched the default core / memory clock for 8400M GS, when under stress. But I got confused when I saw that the shader tab is disabled .
I do not know if somebody else has already come across this situation. I searched here and could not find a similar reported problem, hence this thread. Am I missing something here or is there someone out there having the same problem. Can it be something related to an older ForceWare version (156.65)?
I just got a new tx2z yesterday, opened it up, took forever cuz of bloatware. I downloaded a copy of windows 7 from MSDNAA (Thank you college) and installed it and found drivers for the pen and everything.
I knew from the reviews that the tablet runs HOT, and was going to use RMClock since I heard people using it to undervolt their processor. However, RMClock 2.35 does not recognize my processor (AMD Turion Ultra ZM-83 2.3ghz)
I did the vista 64-bit RMClock fix in order to run the application, but since it doesn't recognize the processor, there's nothing I can do to undervolt it.
Also, does anyone know of any fan control software that I can install that works? Something like I8K for dell that works on the tx2z? (64 bit windows 7 that is)
I've just noticed that in my Y510P with SLI the CPU Clock drop to 2,4 Ghz when I play games or render some graphic, and go up to 3,2 Ghz when PC is at rest.
Is it normal? I think should be the opposite...
where my laptop would shutdown randomly and give me a real time clock error. I googled around and found that replacing the cmos battery would fix the problem. I tried it out but still i am getting this problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave a Vaio Z112 with the Nvidia 330M. I know this gpu should slow down to ~150mhz when only running 2D apps. Looking at nvidia system tools and nvidia precision tool mine always seems to run at the full 475mhz regardless of what I'm using.
Anyone else experience this? Did Sony write out the slow speeds in their drivers due to the assumption we would switch to intel graphics when needed?
In nvidia system tools there is an area that shows 2d/3d clock speed. normally you would expect to see ~150/475 there...I only see 475. Basically it looks like there is no 2d-only clock speed.
