Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510P - Loss Of Internet / Refusing To Update And Freezing

Aug 16, 2013

I just received my new laptop today, and I have never had this much trouble setting thigns up before.  I'm guessing that most of my issues is due to Windows 8 in general, but it is still agrivating none the less.
 
For whatever reason, the internet connection on my laptop just drops.  No notifications, and it says I'm still connected to the router, I just don't have connection to the internet.  I fix this by disconnecting/reconnecting to my network, but its agrivated to have to do this every 2-4 minutes.
 
Windows says that there are 51 updates, but that "it won't update till the maintenance for my convenience", I'm wondering if this is the trouble with my wireless.  I'm not sure how to convince windows that I WANT it to update, not wait hopping that it will update.
 
While this is aggravating enough as it is, it becomes more aggravating when the computer locks up for 10+ minutes at a time while trying to install programs.  There was even a time when the I could not get the startup screen to switch to the log in.  It eventually did after many minutes of waiting, and closing/opening the monitor.

Is there anything I can do about the internet issue?

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p Freezing On Startup

Apr 9, 2014

My Y510p has been freezing on startup, every startup. It can be completely inoperable for upwards of half an hour before unfreezing. It unfortunately has been occuring since the computer arrived (21 March, this year), so I doubt it has been caused by any software I've added. Given my limited knowledge of computers.

Lenovo Y510p Model 20217
Windows 8(64 bit), Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU (2.40 GHz), NVIDIA GeForce GT750M, 8GB RAM

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510P SLI Freezing After 3 Minutes?

Feb 11, 2014

Since i bought my lenovo Y510P SLI i got a problem.

When i am watching a movie/youtube clip/playing a game on my logitech pad i got a problem with performance.

After 3 or 4 minutes my movie/game starts to freeze like some kind of energy saver turnes on.
 
I put my laptop into highest performance via lenovo energy management.

I also checked the settings in windows energy management tool and everything seems to be fine.

I did not have such a problem with my G550 lenovo which i bought 5 years ago.
 
Currently i have only 128GB SSD inside my laptop and from time to time i'm connecting external drive.
 
Operating system: Windows 8.1 x64

Lenovo Y510P P/Y/Z Series :: Expresscache Freezing / Hanging Windows 8.1

Mar 15, 2014

I received my Y510P monday and the performance has been as expected. But Win 8.1 would often freeze, hang, even on restart and shutdown screen where I had to manually shut it down. I have found that uninstalling expresscache seems to have solved the hangups/freezes... I tried uninstalling, clearing my cache drive, and re-installing with latest expresscache version but still the same problem. Had to uninstall it. Is this a compatibility thing with win 8.1 or a hardware problem? I ran Seatools, and the SSD passes all the test EXCEPT long generic. Although SSDLIFE says that it is in perfect condition and should be good until 2022.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p Periodically Freezing During Normal Operations

Aug 16, 2013

I received my laptop a little over a week ago, and ever since I've been using it, the applications/laptop will freeze for a period of time.  Sometimes recovering and moving on, other times I have no choice but to force shut down the laptop.
 
There are times when it will freeze, and only 1 app is frozen, but the sound is running, or I can do other things while it works itself out.  When this happens, sometimes I can open task manager, other times, nothing happened.  Then even if I manage to open the task manager, I can NOT shut the frozen application down.  Either the freezing works itself out, and then it closes down like normal/should when telling it to close this way, or the computer eventually locks up completely.
 
I did remove Macafee, and after reading some, used the total removal program from their site.  However, this has not fixed my issue.  My game still froze, forcing me to restart, and after restarting my web browser still froze for about a minute while trying to get here to make this post.

What if anything can I do to find out what is causing this problem?  I have tried updating my drivers from Lenovo, this hasn't worked.  I thought about using the diagnosics tool from Lenovo, but those do not seem to usable by the IdeaPad series.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Windows 8.1 On IdeaPad Y510P ExpressCache - Constant Freezing

Feb 20, 2014

I recently bought the Y510p laptop and upgraded windows to 8.1
 
Since the upgrade i'm getting contant freezing, which could last 10seconds or 10minutes.
 
Any time i restart the computer it will hang, and the only way to kill is it to press on Power button.
 
Checked the eventviewer and i found the following warning appearing every minute:
 
Log Name: System
Source: iaStorA
Date: 20/02/2014 17:36:40
Event ID: 129
Task Category: None
Level: Warning

[Code] ....
 
After long research i came to conclusion that the ExpressCache is causing this.
 
The moment I uninstalled it, issues disappeared. System will restart without any issues, it won't freeze either.
 
Checked the following article: [URL] .... 
 
Tried to re-install ExpressCache but the issue started to presist straight away, constant freezing and the above message in event viewer.

Lenovo T400 / T500 :: Internet Loss And Limited Functionality After Windows 7 Clean Install On T410

Aug 30, 2013

I had an extra Lenovo T410 sitting around so I wanted to restore it to its "factory state" by performing a "format boot". Plan was to boot from CD drive and reinstall Windows 7 (32 bit) during the process. However, disaster, after the process finished I am now stuck in some sort of safe mode (everything is larger than usual) and the computer is missing several drivers. I installed the network adapter driver manually (can identify networks but can't connect to internet). Device manager still lists Base System Device, Ethernet Controller, PCI Serial Port, PCI Simple Communications Controller, and Unknown Device drivers to be out of date.
 
My objectives here are to
1) restore connectivity to internet and
2) get Windows 7 Home Premium to full functionality.

Lenovo X240 X Series ThinkPad :: Output Sound Quality Loss?

May 3, 2014

Actually it happend about 2 months ago. The sound coming out of the speaker as well as the sound when I was using a headphone was just not right, barely any low frequency sound. In the beginning I can fix this by reinstalling the audio driver. Then after a week or so the same problem would occur again, and I had to reinstall the driver. After several times, reinstalling the audio driver cannot solve the problem anymore. Besides if I plug in the headphone after I muted the laptop, it should unmute automatically right? Well that does not happen and it's still muted.

A few seconds later a yellow colored triangle with exclamation mark appeared on the network icon showing no internet and limited internet. 
 
After turning the wifi off and back on the internet connects and works for few hours. After few hours, it lost internet connectivity again with the same above symptoms. I have this laptop now for 3 days and in past 3 days I had this problem at least 25 times.

Acer :: Sound Loss Despite Driver Update

Apr 30, 2009

I report on an acer Travelmate 4200 laptop with a 1.8Ghz CPU with 1Gb RAM running Vista Home Basic.

About a week ago discovered that no sound was coming from speakers. Device Manager check reveals problem with the Realtek High Definition Audio. D/L'ed the driver from the acer AU website (v.6.0.1.5334), installed it okay but still no sound.

Could this be a hardware issue or have I missed a step in the software configuration?

HP Compaq CQ58 Audio :: Loss Of Sound Since Automatic Update

Aug 18, 2014

Since Windows did an automatic update to my CompaqCQ58 laptop (running on Windows 8.1) on 16th August I've lost all sound.
 
I've read Mario's methods for correcting the fault, but my list of "Installed Updates" does not show KB2962407.
There is an update on 16/8/14 numbered KB2962409.  Is this the one I should uninstall and hide, or am I going to lose some other function of the laptop?
 
Surely I am not the only one affected by this glitch.  Are HP bombarding Windows with demands for them to correct their fault, or are we all expected to repair our own machines!

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510P Discharging By 1% Every Day

Oct 26, 2013

My lenovo Y510P used to always be at 100% but I have realized it has been decreasing by 1 every day. I have it on Maximum Battery Life with the Energy Management application.

It is currently at 85% and I would have posted this sooner if I had payed attention. I changed it to Optimized Battery Health and it is now dropping, currently at 75%. 

I always leave the laptop plugged in because I usually play games on it such as battlefield, dayZ, counter strike, etc.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p BF3 Sudden Low FPS

Jan 4, 2014

I've been playing Battlefield 3 for some time on Auto settings (most of them are Ultra) and my FPS were always in the range 65-85. Yesterday morning everything was fine, however at night when I opened the game again I had 10-15 FPS. I haven't changed  anything in my laptop settings so I don't know why this is happening.
 
P.S: I only have 1 GPU (not the SLI version) so I know it's not a loss of power. But my battery settings are set to "Optimized battery health". Does it affect performance ?

Since then (1 month ago) I am returning it to the service center for 3 times (last one was today) and I feel they can't fix it. URL....

Dell XPS 14 :: Freezing Whenever Browsing On Internet

May 13, 2014

I just bought a new Dell XPS 14 a couple weeks ago and I just started noticing that whenever I am browsing something on the internet (I use Google Chrome), it randomly freezes. I do not know if it has anything to do with me using the track pad two-finger scrolling, or if it is a software problem. It is a really nice laptop and I am upset that it keeps freezing. The freezing happens only after about 30-45 minutes of using the computer after it is asleep. Just before it freezes, everything is completely normal, no heat, no loud fan, nothing! But right when it freezes, I try to do the ctrl+alt+delete/ task manager and nothing. The whole system froze. I even tried to see if I can dim the keyboard, but it did not work. Usually I have to press and hold the power button to shut it off and then I turn it back on.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p USB Ports Not Working?

Jan 3, 2015

When I recieved my Y510p about 8 months ago, the usb ports worked perfectly fine.  Around October they stopped working properly.  The only solution which I found to work was doing a system restore.  When I did this, an Unrecognized Device in the Device Manager was no longer unrecognized, and was instead replaced by USB xHCL (or something along those lines).   However, as soon as i restared my computer again, the ports broke, and the unrecognized device reappeared.  Repeating the restore followed by a restart breaks the ports every time.

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y510p Does Not Recognize SSD On First Boot

Jan 10, 2014

I have a new y510p I just received this week. First thing I did was replace the 1TB HD with my own OCZ Vertex 4 256GB SSD Drive.When I power on the laptop for the first time, it does not find a bootable device (goes through network devices, then says no bootable devices). If I use ctrl-alt-delete to reboot the laptop, it then finds the drive on its own and starts booting into Windows.
 
I'd like to understand why this does not work on the first boot? I went into the BIOS and saw it says there that no drives are detected.This worries me slightly, as perhaps one day it will decide to no longer recognize the drive after the ctrl-alt-delete?

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Possible To Add Second Graphics Card For Y510p?

My question is is it true that you can add a second graphics card in this system with ultrabay? I am confused if SLI and ultrabay refers to the same thing. If that is the case then this system is non sli.

Lenovo Y510p P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Boot On CD / DVD?

Feb 5, 2014

Just got the y510p laptop and am trying to install Ubuntu so I have this bootable DVD and I wanted to try Ubuntu before installing as usual but I can't get the laptop to bot on dvd. On boot menu options there is only EFI and some kind of network options but no dvd. I tried following instructions here but no matter how many times I press F1 during startup, I can't get to boot menu and windows starts directly: [URL] Is it not possible to boot on dvd. The dvd is ubuntu 13.10 supposedly compatible with EFI and secure boot. I don't understand why there is no option to reorder boot devices like on all my older PCs.
 
I manage to get BIOS setup pressing restart and shift and then selecting UEFI firware settings and I do get to bios setups but again no way to find the option for booting on a dvd.
