CPU at .12 ghz Ideapad flex 15

Hey guys, not sure where to put this as I didn't see a place for the Flex 15 series.
Anyways, for some reason the CPU seems to be stuck at .12 Ghz, this has the effect of making the computer extremely slow obviously.
The HDD shows no SMART errors, and their is a noticable delay in the bios loading and when using the BIOS which has led me to believe that this is not a software problem. 
I have been trying to download a program that will show CPU temps and fan speeds to see if the CPU is throttling itself for some reason but have been unsuccessful due to how slow the processor is running.
I can hear the CPU fan running, which leads to the possibility that the heatsink has become unseated from the CPU and the CPU is now throttling down to avoid heat damage.
Anyone encountered this problem before? I would like to avoid taking the laptop apart as it was only purchased new online in May.

Does the base of the machine get really hot after a while?

  • IdeaPad Flex 15D no virtualization option in BIOS 94CN07WW (AMD APU A6-5200)

    Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 15D (AMD APU A6-5200) does not have virtualization option in BIOS version 94CN07WW. What this means is if one wants to run for example Virtualbox, then one would only be able to vitualize a 32-bit operating system, instead of either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. However, a similar model Lenovo IdeaPad S415 Touch (AMD APU A6-5200) does have the SVM option in the BIOS to enable or disable virtualizing 64-bit operating systems. December 22, 2014 8:00AM CSTWhen I  called Lenovo technical support, I initially spoke with someone who sounded as if they were from the Philippines, which is fine if they are knowledgable, and their english is fluent. Unfortunately, when I explained the technical situation, he had no idea what I was talking about. After he checked with in Level 2 quite few times, he said that the motherboard doesn't support virtualization... So, I advised him that I've been in the IT industry for 10 years, and while admittedly I don't know everything about virtualization, I have some level of knowledge on the subject having worked in all positions from Level 1 Technical Support to Systems Engineer. Hence, I proceeded to explain how virtualization is a dependency of the CPU, not the motherboard. One would of course need to have a motherboard that is compatible with the CPU in order for the computer to work at all. However, one may buy a CPU without virtualization extensions and plug it into a motherboard, or one may buy the same CPU with virtualization extensions and plug it into this same motherboard. As well, I invited him to look at Intel or AMD's website for further information on this while we were on the phone so I could help clear up any questions he had on the matter. While he didn't appear to review either website, he checked in with Level 2 again, and suggested we check forums to see if a work around exists. I quickly explained there is no work around to this type of problem, and the resolution would be to put a request into engineering to have a BIOS update pushed out that allowed enabling/disabling SVM by default. After checking in with Level 2 once again, he said if it's not an option in the BIOS, then the computer doesn't support it. I advised while this statement is something I already knew (not to mention painfully obvious at this point), it's not a technical limitation of the hardware, as the CPU supports it. The root cause is that toggling SVM enabled/disabled wasn't designed in the BIOS (i.e. this needs a BIOS update to come out to fix this problem). We briefly talked about a warranty event, how from my past experiences sometimes when one submits a laptop to a vendor and gets it returned, it comes with a BIOS version that is later than originally submitted, or one that is not available for download from the vendor website. However, he wasn't really for this idea, as I didn't have a hardware fault per-say, and I wasn't interested in insisting one a warranty event as it was frankly a low probability event to have this outcome, and it wasn't what I wanted out of the conversation anyway. So, after he checked in with Level 2 again, he said he can call me back after he investigated some more. I advised him that a call back is useless if he is the one calling me back as we already know the problem, resolution, and who would need to address it. After he began to stutter, and make incomplete sentences that made no sense, he put me on hold to check in with Level 2 again (yes he checked in with them this many times). When he came back he claimed I said earlier in the conversation that the option to enable it was available so I should just go ahead and do that. Given that this guy frankly didn't know what I was talking about to begin wtih, and now is telling me something that never even happened in the conversation, I pretty much had enough of the lack of knowledge, and customer service I was receiving, so I asked to speak to either a supervisor or the next level of support. Thankfully he transferred me to his supervisor, who sounded like he wasn't from an outsourced call center, as when I explained the situation he understood me the first time, and spoke clear and articulate english. After a very brief discussion about what he was reading from Lenovo forums and a BBB complaint similar to my inquiry, we came to the conclusion that it would need to be a customer courtesy request to the engineering department to request the SVM option become available via a BIOS update. So, with my case number in hand, I said despite him not being able to promise me the outcome I desired, he at least got the issue in front of the right people, which I appreciated. Long story short, it would be just simply really awesome if Lenovo could push out a Happy Holidays BIOS update that would allow me to enable SVM on my IdeaPad Flex 15D.  Thanks for reading.

    I came across this issue a while back also. However, with the quickly-approaching release of Windows 10, there's another problem that I consider far more important (it is also related to the BIOS, go figure). There is no way to enable/disable Execute Disable Bit in the BIOS. Due to this, I have been unable to upgrade to the Windows 10 Insider Preview, and I fear that this will be the same case with the final release. This issue apparently affects lots of others as well. It is interesting to note that the Flex 15D drivers page no longer says that a BIOS update is not available for the laptop... It doesn't give any info about the BIOS. Get with it, Lenovo!

    Have you tried running a virtual machine with VMWare Player or VirtualBox and forcing AMD-V to see if it isn't already enabled?

  • Ideapad Flex 2-14D: Fan constantly running at high speed: Windows 8.1

    Hello. I have an Ideapad Flex 2-14D running Windows 8.1 and actual drivers.The fan runs constantly at high speed. So I have not to complaint about overheating, but instead I have to complaint about getting cold knees. Is there a possiblity to adjust fan speed? Best regards Eleichstetten

    I've tried SpeedFan and looked through all the Lenovo programs, but there's no way that I can find for tuning the fan. My ghetto hack is to limit the CPU to 70% max (with Passive as the cooling scheme), which keeps the fan well under control.
    Fan adjustment should be a standard feature in 2015. It's not expensive and definitely not difficult to implement.

  • Ideapad Flex 15 HDMI output

    I have a new Ideapad Flex 15, and I'm trying to output video to a second monitor via HDMI. I have an HDMI cable, but I can't get the ideapad to detect the second display. Any pointers?

    I just tested with my Sony 3D display. The moment the HDMI cable was plugged in, "clone" mode was activated.
    The HDMI port is quite deep, so make sure the HDMI cable is all the way in. The last centimeter or so is really stiff, so it may not be all the way in. The plastic shell of the HDMI connector should be flush with the case.

  • Attention! Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10 is not compatible with Windows 8.1

    Attention!
    Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10 is not compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Update (pre-installed operating system is Windows 8.0) .
    More specifically, after update for Windows 8.1 all the  drivers (including the latest)  Intel (R) Iris (TM) graphics, Intel (R) Iris (TM) Pro graphics and Intel (R) HD GRAPHICS  installed on this laptop  does not support out of the sleep mode.
    This has been checked many times by different users laptop Flex 10.
    Any comments from Lenovo are absent. By Lenovo specifications for this notebook there are no conflicts with Windows 8.1. It is not true!
    It is unclear why Lenovo has admitted this deficiency.
    I think Lenovo Flex 10 is a mistake that will cost the company Lenovo.

    Mine came with Windows 8.1

  • IdeaPad Flex 2 14 Sound Lag

    I puchised IdeaPad Flex 2 14 a few months ago and recently have problem with audio - the sound starts lagging, especially if I am doing something else on laptop. Also it is getting very slow in general, which is quite weird for a brand new laptop. And I am not using a lot of programs just browsers and Office files + Spotify. Anyone having similar problems?

    So, even if you long press the power button, the power light keeps blinking?
    Try pressing the power button for upto 30-40 seconds. The system should turn off.
    what is your battery indicator color? (or the charging light)

  • Ideapad flex 15, windows 8.1 and Intel applications

    I just got a new ideapad flex 15. I began updating everying and removing the bloat-ware. After installing 8.1 I noticed that all of the intel experience applications crashed immedatly when ran. Of coarse, phone support charges for answering this issue (even when telling me specifcally "we have the answer if you will pay for preimum support"... thanks....).
    Does anyone know of issues with 8.1 and intel, or the Flex 15 and intel?
    Thanks for any help.

    Sorry for double-post, as I saw your update after I replied.
    Confirmed the issue with Intel EC. Same as you described.
    Here is the driver update to get the Intel EC drivers for Windows 8.1: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23355
    Windows 8.1, although a progressive update, is more like the transition from Vista -> 7. There are a lot of functionality changes that the old drivers don't work with in 8.1. Once we have all your issues resolved, I'll post a list of drivers to the support team to see if we can get an 8.1 patch issued.

  • Touchscreen on Ideapad flex 15

    Hi, I've just bought a Ideapad flex 15 and the touchscreen isn't working. Does it need activated in some way or should it just work straight out of the box? Thanks

    I took this in to a shop, and two technicians tried to solve the problem to no avail. One of them did as suggested, and uninstalled the touchscreen driver under Mice and other devices, but that only disabled the mouse touchpad.  So it was reinstalled, and the driver for the touchscreen under Human Interface devices was reinstalled, but none of it helped, and I still lack the touchscreen capacity I had before.  I cannot scroll except on the side ribbon, and I cannot use the touchscreen to zoom in and out, which I could do on Windows 8 and 8.1.  So it seems there is no new Lenovo driver for the  IdeapadFlex 15 that is compatible with Windows 10.  I am told to wait and see, and to hope that Lenovo addresses this problem.  BTW, I previously had two Microsoft tech people remote control my computer to fix this, and they both failed.   I am disappointed with Microsoft and Lenovo.  Any computer that was bought within the last couple of years fitted with Windows 8 should upgrade no problem to Win 10. 

  • Synaptics touch device suddenly freezes in IdeaPad Flex 14

    Hi everybody,
    I have an IdeaPad Flex 14 and frequently when I'm working on it, the synaptics touch device suddenly it freezes and the mouse arrow disappears from the screen. When this happens only the "right click" keep working but I can't move the mouse to another position. I have to deactivate-activate the synaptics touch device from the keyboard to put the mouse working again. This is so annoying and I want to know if there is a solution for this or the Synaptics touch device is damaged.
    Thank you!

    Once the screws are removed under the angular feet the back comes of the laptop.
    Glad you've been able to have the confidence to get the back of the laptop. I guess you thought what I thought, the base inards will fit anything from 13.3" to 15.6 using little more than different length ribbon connectors. Fitting it in a 11.6" device may be possible although the hard drive may have to SSD.
    I find it hard to believe you need to remove 24 screws to remove the HDD, and 24 to go back afterwards. Had a play with Ubuntu 14.04 using VMWare player myself, although for some stupid reason it didn't prompt for a user and password during the install leaving me only able to use the guest account to log in. I clearly need 8GB of RAM and an SSD to make a smoother VM experience of Ubuntu and another VM install to save my settings.
    Certainly worth taking the back off to have a look.

  • Ideapad Flex 14 - Lenovo support does show correct warranty details

    Hi
    The Lenovo support centre does not show correct warranty details for my Ideapad Flex 14 laptop. The laptop is barely one month old and it is covered under warranty for next 11 months.

    Sometimes warranties are set as the build date by default. If you contact Lenovo with your invoice / receipt, they should be able to update the warranty details.
