Lenovo G50-45 Install W7 UEFI

Dear All,
Firstly, sorry for my English and thank you in advance for your assistance with my problem.
I recently purchased a G50-45 80e3 model and want to create a dual boot windows 8.1 bing and windows 7 (SP1 64bits UEFI MSDN). The problem is that windows 7 hang up (freeze) at “Starting Windows” screen.
For information, the bios is configured as:
- Secure boot (disabled)
- UEFI (enable). I do not want install Windows 7 in Legacy mode!
- I don' have "CSM Boot" view???
I check this on the internet and the solution is installing windows 7 in legacy mode :-(
The strangest thing of all that I have a 1.07 bios version?? The last bios version in the web site Lenovo is 1.06?
Do you have any idea??
Many Thanks

hi KasiD,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
In the BIOS, can you try and set this setting:
Exit Tab:
OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS

Let me know how it goes.

Lenovo G50-30 - "No Bootable Device" error message when trying to install windows 7 via DVD-ROM.

Hi all, Recently purchased a Lenovo G50-30 as a birthday present. After recieving the laptop, I tried putting a fresh install of Windows 7 64 Bit onto it. After changing the BIOS settings to allow legacy booting from the DVD drive and changing OS Settings to Win 7, I noticed I was getting an error reading "No Bottable Device -- Insert boot disk and press any key". After googling for a few hours on how to fix this I am still stumped and nothing seems to work. Has anyone had a similar issue or would know how to fix this?

Hi omegafeggy,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Im kind of confused with the sequence.
Have you installed Windows 7 first then change the BIOS or You changed the BIOS first then Load Windows 7.
Thanks

Lenovo G50-30 Unable to access BIOS settings after Windows recovery

Hi
I recently 'downgraded' a recently purchased Lenovo G50-30 with preinstalled Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 using a UEFI USB install on a GPT partition. I also updated the BIOS from A7CN40WW to the latest A7CN43WW and all was working fine. However, after performing a necessary restore of an system image created using the Windows 7 backup and restore tool, I am suddenly unable to access the BIOS settings, either with the novo button (I do get the menu to select BIOS) or with Fn +F2. All that happens is that I receive a blank screen with a static cursor in the upper left corner. I can however still access the boot menu Fn +F12. This is a particular pain as I obviousl can't select USB 3.0 in BIOS.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I managed to clear CMOS by disassembling and desoldering a leg off the the RTC battery but to no avail. The problem seems to be that BIOS a7cn43ww itself has somehow been corupted. In theory this should be able to be resolved by a reflash. The trouble here is there seems to be no way to reflash with a current or previous BIOS version, so I'll have to either wait for a newer version or someone may know better.
C'mon Lenovo support this simply isn't good enough. It's a brand new laptop and I'm considering returning it for a refund.

Lenovo G50 BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant

Hello everybody !
I kinda have a problem as the title states.My neighbour has a Lenovo G50 she bought and came with windows 8.1 x64 ( which she doesn't like at all and in my opinion win7 is far more superior ). The thing is I wanted to install her the Windows 7 Ultimate but everytime the " loading files " ends right after it boots from the dvd I get a bsod with the message " The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant Stop 0x000000A5 "
I tried all kind of different settings through the bios, changed from UEFI boot to Legacy / disabled secure boot / fast boot / I set the ACHI to compatible / but the end result is almost the same ( two times with different settings my screen froze with a red line over the top after loading the files )
My question is what is the problem and is there a fix for it? (of course it is,but I don't know it )
Thanks !

Can't find drivers for Lenovo G50-30 for Windows 7 32-bit

Hi,
I can't find drivers for Windows 7x32 bit for my new Lenovo G50-30. Looks like Lenovo support doesn't have them. Am I wrong?

hi ziris,
Can you try these drivers:
Chipset:
Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility)
Bluetooth:
Bluetooth Driver (Intel, Atheros, Realtek, Broadcom)
Camera:
(AVC, Bison) Camera Driver
If the above drivers doesn't fix the unknown device under Device Manager, can you follow this guide on how to install the drivers via their Hardware ID or you may want to consider installing Windows 7 64bit (this would be best if you'll be utilizing 4GB RAM and above).

LENOVO G50-30 stuck at lenovo logo and cant even enter bios

Hello
I yust got my lenovo G50-30 and wanted to install win 7 on it. after the first BsoD I went to bios and changed the AHCI to legacy mode. Got the same BsoD. After that I changed the Os mode from win 8 to win 7 ... loaded the factory default settings and putted from AHCI to legacy mode again.
After that the laptop turns on, but it stucks at lenovo logo. I cant access the bios anymore to make any other changes. If I insert a win7 instalation disc, it start to spin but with no sucess. also cant acess the boot options anymore.
Any help greatly apreciated

I suggest removing battery and AC, holding the power button for more than 15 seconds to reset the BIOS back to default settings then see if the issue remains.
Make sure to post the results.
Good luck.

HI

the performance was low and i downgraded it to windows 7 professional (32-bit) which improved the performance drastically,
Now when ever i try to install the vga driver i get this message saying "this computer does not have the minimum requirements for installing
this software",and also i cant adjust the brightness
Did i do anything wrong,does anyone know what to do
please
Thanks

sorry for the late reply, here's the things you can try , try rolling back the driver or you can access the registry to adjust some values here's the step:
1- install latest driver of your graphic card
2- This step will fix the problem:
3 go to registery by regedit and change the value to 0xf048
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"FeatureTestControl"=dword:0000f048
OR
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001]

W8 CP installed in UEFI from an USB on my x120e - First impressions

Hi there,
Yesterday, as million of people already know, MS released W8 Consumer Preview. I downloaded a copy of W8 CP 64Bit and tested it on my x120e.
First of all, installing it in pure UEFI mode from a USB thumb drive, was very easy. This is what I have done:
1. I used Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to "burn" the iso on a USB (at least 4gb needed)
2. I copied all the files from the USB to a temp folder on my desktop.
3. Formatted the usb in FAT32. Windows tool formats the USB in NTFS, and this block the installation in UEFI.
4. I copied all the files from the temp folder, back to the USB now formatted in FAT32.
Than, I installed W8 as usual. I deleted the w7 partition, and the two small partitions that windows installation of w7 created, and I didn't touch my data partition (where I keep all my files).
Installation was very fast... Less than 15 minutes... Wow.
Than, windows 8 CP started and configured all the hardware on my Machine. Everything worked out of the box.
The interface is interesting, just different. It remind me the change from Gnome 2.x to Gnome 3. Computer is very responsive and is fun to use. The fan is very quiet and temperatures are really cool
Although I used it only for an hour (it was to late yesterday when I finished), it was a nice experience. I will continue to explore this new Windows, and post back more info.
The only thing I noted was that a better graphic driver is needed. The colors looks a bit washed out, not a big deal though. I'm sure lenovo's support for w8 will make our experience outstanding.
If you have already installed w8 cp on your computer, please share your experience with us.
Have fun, and happy testing to all the "fearless" users!

hi Ashish1793,
If you're running on Windows 7 64bit, can you consider the following:
1. Navugate to the Control Panel (icon views) > Display Adapters and uninstall both the Intel and AMD Display driver then reboot.
2. Install the Intel Display Driver first then reboot.
3. Install the AMD Dislpay Driver (the files will be extracted drivers to the C:\Drivers\VGA folder - overwrite if prompted and reboot if necessary)
When finished, you should now have both the Intel HD Graphics 4600 and AMD R5 M230 in the Device Manager > Display Adapters
If you get a Code 43 error on the AMD Display Device Manager, try to install the AMD R5 M230 driver directly from AMD website and observe.
If you have Windows 8.1, download the Intel and AMD Display driver from the G50-70 drivers page and install them respectively.

Wifi and Camera not working on Lenovo G50-45 80e300rgin

I bought the laptop Lenovo G50-45 80e300rgin and installed Windows 8.1 on it. The problem is that when i launch the camera app it shows that 'No camera found' whereas the camera driver was installed successfully. The other problem is that there is no trace of wifi when searching for it whereas wifi is turned on from the BIOS and the laptop is not on airplane mode. I later disocvered that Device Manager shows no wifi device. Please Help!!

hi priyamdubey ,
Welcome to Lenovo COmmunity Forums!!
Do you have any device under device manager that has a yellow symbol? as it may be the wireless without proper driver.
If the Wireless device is really not showing under device manager and it is on on BIOS, then it is a detection issue. the Wifi Device may not be physically detected by the computer,
Try restoring the bios to defaults by hitting F9 then F10 to save and exit.
The same might be happening to the Webcam

Lenovo G50-70 Bluetooth/Wi-Fi problem in (32bit) window 7

hello , recently i installed window 7 32bit on my Lenovo G50-70 laptop with window 8.1 (64 bit) installed (as default).

I downloaded 515mb driver file from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-70-noteboo...

I checked BIOS settings too - there's also Wi-Fi enabled

Go to Solution.

hi Nitesh,
The "No Appropriate Driver to be installed" error usually pops up if the installer can't find the specific hardware ID(s) to install the necessary drivers. This may happen if you have a different type of bluetooth adapter (eg. Intel wireless +bluetooth combo)
Can you try the following:
1. If the Network Controller (wireless adapter) is present under Device Manager, can you install these drivers first and reboot if necessary:
Lenovo Energy Manager
21.4MB
WLAN Driver (Atheros, Broadcom, Realtek, Intel)
267MB
2. When finished, check if you can now see the wireless and bluetooth adapter under Device Manager (see Bluetooth and Network Adapters) and press the airplane mode key (F7) to enable these devices.
- Sample Image
Let me know how it goes.

Lenovo g50-30 won't connect to home wifi.

Hello everybody, I just signed up to find a solution.
I got a lenovo g50-30 with windows 8.1 about three weeks ago, and I've had a wireless problem ever since. The laptop will connect to my wireless router (Thomson tg582n) but then it shows the limited connection alert. I can navigate for about 5 minutes but right after im unable to do so, while the rest of smart phones and tablets can connect to it. This issue began about five weeks ago with and old macbook I had, but it doesn't seem to have a fix. In college I'm able to connect to the wireless networks without trouble and Ethernet works fine as well. I've tried everything, restarting and restoring the router, changing channels and security encryptions, established the same IP address, I disabled, restored and enabled windows firewall, released and renewed IP, flushed DNS. Disabled and enabled WiFi adapter, uninstalled the drivers and installed them back again. I've seriously done everything I've found without success, so I come to you in desperation. It would mean the world if you could help. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP (mind the sarcasm)
Anyway guys, I found a pretty good solution that ended my connectivity problems. Just go to your wiifi configuration and properties and choose to stablish a custom DNS server, then type 8.8.8.8 as main server and 8.8.4.4 as the secondary one (These are Google's DNS free servers) And all of your problems will go away. If anything, feel free to ask.

Distorted microphone with Linux mint in Lenovo G50-70

I have installed Linux Mint 17.1 in Lenovo B590 and microphone works perfectly. I installed Linux Mint on a new Lenovo g50-70, microphone works low and very distorted.
I've adjusted pavucontrol and I deleted to zero right channel mic, works perfectly for seconds but settings are deleted for auto adjusting mic and right channel is activated again. Then microphone works with distortion again.
Thank you for your attention.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

Lenovo G50-45 Wireless has dissapeared completely

I have a Lenovo G50-45 that when i bought it worked perfectly. Here recently it seems the wireless adapter has magically vanished and i say that because ive done everything i know to do and ive searched google everywhere but no one seems to have the same issue i do except one person and he was running linux and was able to resolve his issue. I on the other hand havent been able to.This laptop has a bluetooth/wireless card combo. The card handles both connections. The laptop itself has a AMD 8 processor, 4GB ram 1TB HDD running windows 8.1Oneday the laptop just wouldnt connect to wifi. I work on computers alot, and short of replacing the card itself i havent found the solution on my own.The wireless adapter does not show up in network sharing when you click change adapter settings. Only the LAN and bluetooth connections are there. I checked in device manager and there is no missing or improperly installed hardware. Opened the network connections in Device manager and there is no wireless adapter, no WLAN, no wireless anything avaliable there.I have done the following:I uninstalled and reinstalled the bluetooh driver. updated the bluetooh driver. physically removed the card, started the laptop (the bluetooth connection dissapeared like i expected, turned off the laptop and reinstalled the card and restarted, the bluetooth connection reappeared but not the wireless.I checked in the BIOS. Wireless is enabled. I updated the BIOS. Restored defaults. Still no wireless card.I thought maybe there was an issue within windows 8.1I partitioned the HDD and set off 100GB and installed Windows 7. I didnt think id be able to install the card but i wanted to see if windows 7 detected the hardware. It actually installed the bluetooth card by itself and properly, with an out of date driver im sure but it recognized it.But it did not find the wireless adapter. No wireless card in Device manager in windows 8.1 or a fresh install of windows 7.I ignored that the card wasnt there, and i went to the lenovo site and downloaded the proper up to date drivers. installed them on windows 7 and 8.1. I get the following error message "No appropriate driver to be installed"Now i have a feeling the card itself is to blame. Maybe i have that one card that just wasnt gonna make it. Ive never had a wireless card burn out on me ever but i suppose it is possible. But before i go buying parts, even though its cheap i dont have much money. And the principle of it all, if the card works why should i buy another one? right? its a disgrace to say i work on these devices and be beaten by one of them. So has anyone had a similar issue? Something i havent yet tried?I would just throw in a wireless adapter i have here but the port on the motherboard is different than what i see in most laptops, i assume because its both wireless and bluetooth. I only have wireless cards laying around, non of them fit properly so i will need to buy a replacement to test. But if anyone can help me out, id appreciate it.

Hi Kris_hm,
Welcome to Lenovo Communtiy Forums!
Normal Troubleshooting path on this cases includes
Power Cycle of the system
Checking of WLAN in BIOS if Enabled (Includes resetting BIOS to defaults)
WLAN card reseating (Removing WLAN card and reconnecting the WLAN again) Includes cleaning of the ports and connectors.
If these are all met - You might need to replace the WLAN card,
The WLAN Card socket supports M.2 / Ngff Connection type
Make sure you get a replacement card that is on this Maintenance Manual WLAN list and has an FRU tag.
This is to avoid getting whitelist problem

Lenovo G50-70 Laptop (59-417110) Ram Upgrade Issues

I recently purchased Lenovo G50-70 Laptop (59-417110) and it has in-built 2GB DDR3 1600MHz Samsung RAM.
I have Windows 8.1 64 bit OS installed.
I had to increase the RAM capacity to 6 GB. Hence bought Kingston 4GB 1600MHz RAM - http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/KVR16LS11_4.pdf
After installing additional 4 GB module from Kinston, windows is restarting after seeing logon screen by showing "Windows ran into a problem notification"
Is this RAM module compatible with this lenovo model? I had researched inside lenovo support and changed maximum memory from msconfig, changed power settings, still no use.
What should I do now?

hi deljojoseph,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you try removing the old module, the 2GB.
check if your system will run with just the New RAM.
After that
Try it also with just the old RAM an check.
Let me know your findings
