Lenovo G450 get´s slow

Hi, i buy a Lenovo G450 like 10 months ago, and all was alright, it was fast, and completely a super laptop, but one day, like three months ago, i have an error on a windows file, and the operative system crash, so i reinstall and function okay , but at the week, it passed another time, so i decide to erase windows and install linux, everything was okay but i go to vacations for 1 month and when i come back i was so slow!! it takes like 10 minutes to turn on, and you can not do anything cause it will super slow donw -_- so i reinstall windows another time, but nothing, it gets slow and slow, and i dont know what to do, i dont have the recovery files or a backup disc, then a friend thats a expert on that things said me that it can be a problem on the hard drive and i need to send it to the factory to repair it, but i know there should be another solution,
Hope you can help me.

Update: Sometimes it saves at normal speed aswell, only spending a few seconds.
So I decided to look closer at the system monitor, and it seemes like premiere is using 8,1 GB memory (In preferences max available is set to 9 GB). Is seemes to stagger at that approx 8 196 000 kb limit, indicating that memory usage might be the cause of operation slowing down?? (I'm not a computer expert, so please correct me:)
CPU usage doesn't seem to go beyond 50 % at any times.

Lenovo G450 - Want to connect VGA to Plasma TV with HDMI inputs

Hello Community
I was hoping to get some verification on this from someone that owns a Lenovo G450 Model 2949. I want to understand if I can connect this notebook to my older plasma TV through the VGA output connector. My TV supports S-video, HDMI and Component. Can I purchase any one of those types of VGA to S-video/HDMI/Component connectors and it will work? Will there be any loss of quality when you push the laptop video signal onto the television?
Here's one off amazon for a VGA to HDMI converter:

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to the forums
The quality of the display would remain like a normal vga connection as your laptop does not support hdmi/no hdmi port. So it is better hooking up via a vga cable.

Lenovo G450 keeps CRASHING

HI,
I just recently bought a Lenovo G450 with the ff. specs:
Intel P8700 2.53 GHz
3 GB RAM (originally 2GB but was upgraded to 3GB as part of a promo)
320 GB HDD
The unit keeps crashing whenever I am on the internet or playing games (mouse and everything has NO RESPONSE, sound repeats like a broken recorder) and I end up manually shutting down the unit (hold down the power button for a few seconds). This happens in less than 1 hour of use...
I checked the lenovo website and cross checked it with my device manager, all drivers seems to be updated.... I also ran a THOROUGH HDD error check but to no avail...
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there a software solution for this problem (driver updates maybe?)??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Nope, its still crashing.. but now it happens in about 5mins of use! I can't use the thing now... I plan to bring it to the service center now since my time gets eaten up every time I troubleshoot.
I'm really frustrated with this since this is my first lenovo laptop.. I thought I would be buying an excellent unit (considering the specs vs price)..turns out to be the opposite..
Here's a recap of the problems I experienced (please confirm if we have the same problem):
Everytime it crashes/freeze (no mouse, keyboard response, sound repeats like broken recorder), I do manual shutdown. Wait 20secs, then restart it (choose the Normal Start-up). Sometimes McAfee and NVIDIA shows errors (deactivated), sometimes it doesn't. McAfee automatically restarts during its regular update.
After 5mins-1hr, the thing crashes/freezes up again. The next restart I do, it automatically goes to Error check, then asks me if want to do a system restore. I accept, then still the SAME thing! It crashes/freezes again!
BTW, here are the list of the things I did to troubleshoot but didn't help:
1) Updated all drivers
2) Updated NVIDIA Graphics (G210M) driver (the most updated is found in the NVIDIA website).
3) Uninstalled the McAfee Anti-Virus. McAfee gets deactivated after a crash. So I thought it was the problem..wrong move on my part... the crash interval decreased significantly (1hr to about 5mins) after I uninstalled it. I replaced it with a free AVG Anti-virus just to kill the WARNING about missing anti-virus protection.
4) Thorough HDD Scan - all OK.
5) Ran the laptop in SAFE MODE. It doesn't crash anymore after 10mins of use! But I didn't test long enough (since you can't really do anything on SAFE MODE) so I'm not quite sure.
6) Next I'll try to deactivate all services in MSCONFIG and start them up 1 by 1 to isolate the corrupt/faulty service.
I'll keep you posted on any development.

Lenovo G450 battery stucks at 0% and it sshows plugged in,charging

three months back I bought a new battery for my lenovo G450 laptop.Initially it was working well and now it's not get charged Stucks @0%,,,,,plz suggest me a solution for this

hi paranthaman,
You mentioned that you purchased a new battery for the G450 system. To replace this battery, you will need to contact the person or the store that sold you this battery (eg. If you purchased it from Amazon.com, you will need to contact Amazon) as the battery can only be replaced from the place of purchase.

Lenovo G450 Standby/Hibernation Problem

Hi, I've been having the same problem as http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/G460-standby-hibernation-problem/td-p/216132 , my Lenovo G450 came with a blank screen when I tried to turn it on from hibernation today. I've tried removing the battery, running it on power only, or both, but none of them seem to get it out of the blank screen state. It does come back out of the state after a whole week of being switched off, but being a busy student overseas, I find this to be quite the hindrance to my studies and recreations.
I sent it to the Lenovo service centre in Singapore in April, but they returned it to me saying it doesn't have any problems.
I also have the heat problem stated in http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/G450-gets-too-hot-shuts-down/td-p/200020 despite the fact that I actually have a STAND AIR CONDITIONER pointed at the exhaust.
Would appreciate a fast reply. Thanks.
Also, please don't suggest that I install the BIOS update, since I can't even get the system to start. Indicator lights come up, touch volume control works, DVD drive bay opens, but nothing else.

Some other things to try:
Make sure you post and add your input to the two threads you linked to.
A couple hardware things, these should not affect warranty, as you are allowed
to change memory and hard drive. I don't know how much of this you know already:
Do the "discharge procedure" again first.
Reseat memory modules. (Unplug, remove battery, touch a grounded metal object,
remove memory chips, and replace one at a time. Try it with just one first to eliminate
memory failure. Then the other by itself, then both.)
Remove hard drive and see if you can boot to bios (F2 key on boot
Hard drive is under a plate on bottom, just carefully slide it back with the tab,
and remove, holding it by the sides.
If these do not help, I guess it must be returned to service again?
I am surprised they found no problem!

Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

My macbook works well while connected to the charger, but using the battery it gets really slow

My macbook pro 2011 yosemite 10.10.1, (2,3 GHz Intel Core i5 / 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 / Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB) recently started to present a problem that when using only the battery, it gets really slow, but connected to the charger, it operates normally. I have already taken to a technical assistance but was not presented any problem in the battery. And when I open activity monitor it shows that the kernel_task process uses almost 100% CPU and so is almost 0% idle, so it is almost impossible to use the computer (using the battery). Is there anything I can do to prevent this process using 100% CPU?

My recommendation for a SMC reset was initiated by your posts indication poor performance when under battery power. Often a SMC reset will correct bad battery behavior but apparently not in your case.
Look at this article and see if there are any possible hints for correction of the problem:

If not, the the best option will be an Apple store genius bar appointment.

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often

My MacBook Pro gets very slow while doing work like watching movies and using net .. video gets lag very often and while surffing on net it gets very slow ...

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

MacBook Pro gets very slow when Safari is opened

Lenovo G450 - Veriface Facial Recognition- Setup file is not available

yes, you can try.

Photoshop CS5 interface gets really slow *only* when an image is open

So this is really odd. Photoshop gets really slow when any image, regardless of size is open. When there are no images open it runs smoothly. The interface gets really laggy, filter usage, tool selection or any other usage is really sluggish, but only with an image open, even if it's a single pixel.
I've tried different performance settings - changing where the scatch drive is, how much memory to allocate, what the cache levels are set at, enabling/disabling openGL, etc. It makes no difference if it's after a fresh reboot or if it's been on for days. No software has changed since the upgrade. Memory test don't show any issues and no other application has this problem - Illustrator, After Effects, Maya, Mudbox, etc. are all fine.
My system specs
Windows 7 x64 Enterprise - Service pack 1 installed
Dual Xeon quadcore E5620 @ 2.4GHx (sixteen threads w/hyperthreading)
96 GB Ram - DDR3 - 1333 MHz / PC3-10600 - registered - ECC
Nvidia Quadro FX 3800 - with latest stable performance drivers v 295.73 (tried changing these, no affect)
Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB 10000 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s OS Drive
X3 Seagate Constellation 2TB 7200 RPM SAS 6Gb/s setup in a RAID 5 config
I'd think it would be a memory issue if all apps had similar problems, or if PS had issues when just being open. It's odd that it happens only when an image is open.
Thanks for any an all help.

Just to make sure, did you close and restart Photoshop after changing OpenGL settings and before testing? That's important, and not having done so could lead you to invalid assumptions.

The servers gets too slow with JMS Messages

Hi all,
      Look, Im usin JMS services, with MDB, and work good. Also i kepp a Queue to wronly messages (basiclly for comunications between R3 and Portal). Thats messages have seted a "Time to Live" equals to one day, so, they dissapair when this time are completed. But for some reasson, my server gets too slow and show exeptions of Time Out. Maybe the messages are not "killed" really, and consume memory from the server or some like that.
      The think are, that im deleting manually the Queue from the Visual Administration, later than this, the process back to keep the execution time and gets faster.
      If some know some or had this same trouble, please help me...
Thanks in advance,
Jorge.

I see. Thanks for your advice
I always had this setting on my previous devices (Sony Xperia X10 pro, Samsung Galaxy Slll) and thought it wouldn't do anything. It just got slow when it actually was updating.
Now I turned that setting off, the wifi worked quite long again (10min) but then it was gone. Unfortunately.
