Sony :: Vaio Z At 1/2 Speed
Apr 8, 2009Ive had a vaio Z 2.53Ghz for a few months working very well. Lately Ive been noticing that the system feels really slow. I just ran a CPUZ and got the readings that the CPU is operating at 1/2 speed (around 1.26Ghz). I ran a few benchmarks (SySoft Sandra/Everest) and was confirmed again that the system is running at 1/2 speed. I remember that runnig on batteries usually the CPU slows (lower CPU multiplier) down to conserve batteries but mine is plugged-in and it does not make any difference. I opened it up and took out the CMOS battery for a few seconds to re-set the BIOS to see if that would fix it. Same problem.
Also I noticed that my power settings Tab incontrol panel are all grayed out so I cannot change or access them... this is all so weird... I know that setting power settings in XP's to the maximum performance profile, turn off Intel SpeedStep which is what I suppose is forcing my system to permanently using a lower multiplier...
Sony :: Can I Change The OS On A Vaio
Nov 25, 2009I was wondering if I buy a Vaio with Windows 7, can I wipe it clean and install a different OS (Xp, or Linux) from my own CDs? Or does it only allow to install the OS that sony provided in the Recovery Partition?

Mar 26, 2010While eagerly scouting the Zs, I've greatly enjoyed this forum for the past few weeks. I've been stopping by (ok stalking) my local Sony Style store to check them out in person, and became curious about a discrepancy.
Does anyone know off hand if there is an inherent memory speed or bandwidth difference between the 520m and 540m (or 620m)? I haven't noticed anything official from Intel or the Sony specs, other than they all use DDR3/1066 sticks.
Last week I snapped a picture (rather fuzzy cellphone, sorry) of the WEI screen for the lone silver GX/S (i5-520m) floor model. It shows a lagging score of 5.9 on memory, which doesn't jive with other performance scores mentioned on this forum (that I could find).....

View 10 Replies View RelatedSony :: VAIO Z690 RAM Speed And CPU-Z Question
Apr 7, 2009I just received my z690 cto and I'm doing all the tests I can think of to check that everything is working properly.
I have one question about the memory.
I ordered it with 4GB ddr3 working at 1066Mhz and when I run the program cpuz the memory is recognized as DDR3 PC3-8500F but the "DRAM Frequency" is reported as 532 Mhz (instead of 1066).
Can anyone tell me if it is normal or if it should report 1066?
Sony :: Poor USB Copying Speed With New VAIO CW2
Mar 10, 2010I've just purchased a VAIO CW2 (VPCCW2S1E) and did a format and fresh install of Windows 7 x64 to rid myself of all the bloatware. The problem is that copying to, from and between external USB flash/harddrives is now extremely slow - often a couple of hundred kb/s, and sometimes 2-3 Mb/s, when the speed should be 20 Mb/s+. I've had the drives for a while and they work flawlessly over USB 2.0 with other computers. I know that USB copying speed was normal before the format as I copied the Windowsdrivers folder to a USB harddrive, though that folder was only a few hundred Mb.
I assume I missed installing some USB chipset driver after the format, though I have installed the following:
1. IPS_Driver_1.0_10Q1_O_1.0.0.1030 (unsure what this is)
2. SATA_Driver_Intel_Non-RAID_8.9X64_E_8.9.4.1004
3. SFEP_Driver_Sony_8.0_10Q1_O_7_8.0.1.1 (unsure what this is)
The list of available drivers is here: [url]
I've installed Windows 7 on a fair number of computers and never had this problem; how typical then that it should happen on my own laptop
Sony :: Vaio FZ LCD Can't Change Brightness
Feb 19, 2010I've done a search and couldn't find anything relevant.
My FZ of 28 months old has suddenly started making a faint buzzing noise from the screen.
At first I thought it was the fan, but I realized it's the LCD. I can't change the brightness for some reason using Windows 7 but it's on Max Bright. I've seen some threads of people having this problem on lowered brightness levels but this is happening on full.
When I shut the lid, the buzzing stops. It can be heard if I stand behind the laptop or place my ear beside either rear corner of the laptop.
Sony :: Vaio Z690 Speed Mode Graphics
May 9, 2009It seems for some reason my Z690 does not work well in the speed setting. This results into videos that seem to refresh a lot, games that are slow and have jagged edges and in general slow video performance.
Whats funny is that on stamina setting, all my graphics actually do quite well. Videos play fine as do the games /w smooth edges
Sony :: Vaio Z Stamina/Speed Switch In Windows 7
Feb 12, 2009Does any else have this feature working under Windows 7?
I have everything functioning (incl. FN brightness and volume controls) in my partitioned install except this.
I have the switch itself set to "Stamina" but neither mode even brings up the little green light beside it. It is completely unresponsive.
Sony :: VAIO SZ5- Can't Switch Between Stamina/speed Mode
Aug 8, 2009I have a VAIO VGN-SZ55GN but I found out that I can't switch between speed/stamina mode.
I had had the intel graphic driver installed automatically after I'd installed a new OS onto the laptop but I can't get the nVidia driver to work.
I tried shutting down the laptop, moved the switch to speed and turned on the laptop again but I still can't get the laptop started up w/ nVidia graphic card.

Sony :: Vaio Z Speed Mode High Temps And CPU Usage
Mar 10, 2010I have a Sony Vaio VGN-Z590 with windows 7 32 bit professional installed. When I switch to speed mode and hook up a monitor (24" dell LCD) via HDMI->DVI the graphics card temperature goes up to around 80-95C (measured with real temp 3.40) and the CPU temp also goes up into the 60-70s. No programs are using the CPU heavily. During this process the fans go up to max and the computer gets really loud. I have all the latest drivers installed and the latest BIOS.
I was wondering if anyone else has a problem like this? Would installing 64 bit windows 7 be better? It makes it really noisy when I hook up a monitor via HDMI. Any ideas?
Everything is perfect in stamina mode, low temps, low cpu usage.
Sony :: New Vaio Z Series Core I7 ILink Port Speed
Feb 17, 2010Does anyone know what the speed is of the iLink port on the new Sony Vaio Z Series Core I7?
I'm trying to decide whether to get the Vaio Z with 3 usb ports or 2 usb ports and 1 iLink port. If the iLink port is a lot faster then the usb ports i'll probably get it with an ilink port. If it's a slow ilink port (400 mbps) then i'll probably get the laptop with 3 usb ports.
It would be nice if it comes with a fast ilink port (800mbps) so i can get a faster connection if i connect the laptop to an external hard drive.

Nov 9, 2009just can't seem to get my Brightness controls to work in speed mode in windows 7.
I've tried 169.09, 180.70 and the most recent forceware drivers.
I've installed the registry file that was recommended in one thread.
I've tried all kinds of orders. Still, nothing.
I've currently installed (in this order)
SPEF
SonyPI
Shared Library
SonyUtils DLL
Event Service
The Registry Patch
NVIDIA Drivers
They work fine in STAMINA, but not in SPEED. I can't even access them through Windows Mobility Center or Power Options. I can change them a very small amount though the NVIDIA control panel through the "adjust color settings" tab. Otherwise, theres no mobility options in the NVIDIA panel.
Sony :: VAIO SZCPU Clock Speed Dropped From 2.16Ghz To 1.006Ghz
Nov 9, 2009I have had some strange things happen on my Sony Vaio SZ.
I returned from holiday (two days away) and brought my SZ back up from hibernation mode. It hung after I logged in. Rebooted it, and it came back after I put the battery back in and disabled wifi. Not that these actions indicate a problem with either wifi nor the battery (which died back in 2006).
However, it is running rather slowly. I installed the benchmark programme called Performance Test, ( http://www.passmark.com/products/pt.htm ) from an Australian company. It informed me that the T2600 (2.16Ghz) was actually running at 1.006Ghz. On top of this it gave an overall performance rating of 276, which is extremely poor for a Vaio SZ.
The original Sony Windows XP installation was removed a long time ago and an OEM XP Pro and SP3 was installed with a selection of specific drivers for the Vaio SZ components.

Sony :: Vaio Z, Z520n Want To Change Carbon Fiber To Black

I want to replace that part, but I actually like the black color on the new Z series. Is there a way I can purchase just the Black keyboard housing and replace it on my vaio?
Sony :: Vaio Z11MNB: Brightness Adjust Doesn't Work In SPEED Mode
Mar 12, 2010I've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on my Vaio Z11MNB. As Google told me there is a problem with the FN + F5/F6 brightness adjust in speed mode.
All Sony software ist installed correctly and in the newest version I found.
As in many threads mentioned I followed the right order. But I still cannot adjust the brightness in speed mode
This thread Problem with Vaio Z Windows 7 brightness lead me to the right graphic drivers I thougt... Okay these drivers[url] are for the ZD790 but this shouldn't matter it's the same 9300GS chipset...
The following sony software is installed:
SETTING_UTILITY_SERIES_5.1_5.1.0.11200
SFEP_DRIVER_SONY_8.0_10Q1_O_7_8.0.1.1
SPIC_DRIVER_8.0_09Q3_7_8.0.1.1
SONY_SHARED_LIBRARY_5.5_5.5.0.10160
VAIO_CONTROL_CENTER_4.1_4.1.0.10160
VAIO_EVENT_SERVICE_5.1FH_5.1.0.12010
VAIO_POWER_MANAGEMENT_5.0_5.0.0.11300
VAIO_SMART_NETWORK_3.1_3.1.0.11250
Another smaller problem: From time to time there is a yellow exclamation mark at the SD-Hostcontroller in the device manager. I've googled a lot but there seems to be no other driver than the windows included. VEN_1180&DEV_0822

View 8 Replies View RelatedSony :: Sr 490: Fan Speed,heat And Shutdowns
Sep 2, 2009I've been having a few problems with my sony Sr. When I was carrying it around in school in a nicely padded case, I had a couple "unexpected shutdowns". I have no idea what causes these, but does anyone have any ideas? Also, is there any way to prevent this? I'm not very rough on my laptop, although it might be bumped a little from outside the bag.
Also, on two occasions, the laptop started up from sleep inside the bag unintentionally.
It heated up a lot inside the bag, although it's not what I would consider an overheat, because I had no slow-downs, crashes, or shutdowns. However, after the second time this happened, my fan has been going very fast and cycling between very fast and fast speeds, much faster than normal. This is happening even hours after I shut it down for 12 hours and let it cool off. Is there a solution for this problem, and could there have been some sort of damage?
One more quick thing: the little tube things connected on top of the power switch and power cord connector wiggle when pushed. Is this normal?

Sony :: FW490 CTO 4650: Clock Speed Only 450/600
Aug 20, 2009I 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?
