Lenovo G505s - Windows 10 throttling my CPU

I just recently upgraded to Windows 10, and am now having some serious throttling issues. If I play any form of game, my CPU clock speed will fall to only 900Mhz, rendering anything unplayable. I've checked the temperatures and it only ever gets as high as 65-70c before throttling itself. This used to happen on Windows 8.1, but only when it gets to above 90c, and it goes down to 2Ghz, which was fine. I have updated the GPU driver from the Lenovo website, and the BIOS seems to still be version 3. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

  • Lenovo G505s windows 8, preparing automatic repair then black screen

    Hi,
    Since a few months I have a lenovo G595s with Windows 8 installed, the thing is I don't know much over computers, but last tuesday I was just working and my laptop was next to me without any task, and somehow when I was going to reuse the computer I wasn't able because the screen where all the apps are was frozen, so I tried with CTR ALT DELETE nothing happened, then I just turn it off, and since it only goes on with the Lenovo logo, in the under part says or appears Preparing automatic repair and like 1 min later it goes completely in black without turning off.
    I tried el the F keys at the beggining of the start, in the middle, with a windows CD as well, but I just don't get access to the BIOS or any other configuration, only black screen, doesn't matter how long I leave it on.
    If somebody could help me to find out what is happening with the computer.
    Thank you a lot

    hi Dlskmalpik,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Automatic Repair usually kicks in if there's a problem loading up the files that's required to start Windows. If the repair was interrupted and the screen just goes into a black screen then there's most likely a hardware component that's malfunctioning.
    To check, try to:
    1.Boot into the BIOS by pressing the OneKey Recovery button
      - Link to picture
    If successful, set the following settings in the BIOS:
    Security Tab:
    Secure Boot = Disabled
    Boot Tab:
    UEFI = Disabled or Legacy
    Boot Mode = Legacy
    Boot Priority = Legacy First
    Exit Tab
    OS Optimized Defaults = Other OS or Disabled
    When done, press F10 (or Fn+10) to save and exit and try to boot from your Windows CD (i'm assumming this is a Windows 8 disc).
    2. If you're successful in booting from the Windows 8 Disc, see Step 1 to Step 2 of this guide on how to proceed in fixing the issue.
    3. If the problem remains, consider re-instaling Windows by pressing the OneKey Recovery button and choose System Recovery
      - Link to picture
    In an event that the recovery fails, I recommend you contact lenovo and report the issue as you may need to send the unit for service..

  • Lenovo G505s and Windows 7

    Hello. I currently have Windows 8.1 on my Lenovo G505s but was thinking of downgrading to Windows 7 due to compatibility issues with games. If I downgrade to Windows 7, will I still have my Windows 8 License and be able go back to using Windows 8 if I decide to? Will downgrading to Windows 7 void my warranty? (I read online that it could, and this laptop is only 2 days old.) Does this laptop have drivers that are supported for Windows 7? Also, will the Bios update that fixed slower perfomance speeds work in Windows 7? And my final question, will the one key recovery button work in Windows 7? I read that it returns your laptop to factory settings, so does that mean if I use it it'll install Windows 8 again? I only ask this because my laptop didn't come with the disk. Sorry for all the questions, I'm not really a tech wizard and don't want to risk screwing anything up on a new laptop.

    hi cdeas13,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
     If I downgrade to Windows 7, will I still have my Windows 8 License and be able go back to using Windows 8 if I decide to?
         - The Product Key is Embedded in the BIOS, The Product key is as good as your license, You will need to find a way to get a copy of it for future use (reverting back to Windows 8).
    Will downgrading to Windows 7 void my warranty?
        - Support for Lenovo Applications Yes it will be voided but for Hardware Problems, those are still covered.
    Does this laptop have drivers that are supported for Windows 7? Also, will the Bios update that fixed slower perfomance speeds work in Windows 7? 
       - Yes you can find the drivers here
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS035837
      I believe that Windows 7 is not affected by the performance issue.
    Will the one key recovery button work in Windows 7
       If the Harddrive will not be repartitioned or formatted it will still work, a Recovery Disk Can be purchased from Lenovo Support if the Onekey Recovery will have issues.

  • Lenovo G505 Wifi Problems - Limited Connection, No Connection, and Dropped Connections

    Some forum members have reported a variety of Wifi issues with their G505 laptops. Their reports range from showing "Connection is limited", to Wifi connections dropping repeatedly, to being unable to make a Wifi connection at all. I combined multiple threads in order to assist forum members with troubleshooting solutions.
    If your G505 was upgraded to Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and then lost connectivity, or you recently purchased a G505 running Windows 8.0 or 8.1 and are unable to connect, try following the instructions posted by Vikramsbox to restore the connection through the Lenovo Communications Utility.
    For non-Windows 8.0 or 8.1 users, start troubleshooting with the basics:
    The most recent WLAN, BIOS, and Power Management drivers from Lenovo can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g505-no...
    It is also good practice to verify your Wifi is activated by following the instructions from Neokenchi.
    Check Power Management settings to ensure your laptop isn't turning off the Wifi as noted by Dannyk1.
    Check to see that Airplane Mode is set to OFF by following the instructions provided by Shiv_K.
    After trying those steps, if you still experience a Wifi issue with your G505, other troubleshooting steps have been noted in this thread. This includes a whitelist of accepted replacement WLAN cards posted by Topmahof and a 3rd party driver which resolved wifi issues for Miila and Jessemck125. Please note that while Lenovo does not support 3rd part drivers, it may be an option to consider if your laptop is out of warranty and none of the suggestions in the thread resolve the issue.
    Thanks for your contributions,

    First is to update your Atheros/Broadcom driver for your G505 here:http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/wlan117w8.exe
    From what I understand, the situation is that you get limited connectivity while your other devices that are connected to the router gets uninterrupted internet access.
    After updating your drivers, you can try to flush your DNS cache by copy and pasting this code to your notepad and saving it as FlushDNS.bat
    @Echo on
    pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    attrib -h -s -r hosts
    echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
    attrib +r +h +s hosts
    popd
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh winsock reset all
    netsh int ip reset all
    shutdown -r -t 1
    del %0
     Note that this will restart your computer so make sure to save your session first.
     Here's the link that explains the benefit of flushing DNS: http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/144365-network-posting-tips.html
    Hope this resolves your random "limited connectivity" problem.

  • Lenovo g505s Mainboard help.

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for some information regarding replacing the mainbord on a Lenovo g505. basicly the mainboard that is in the laptop has burnt out  due to liquid damage (beyond repair) and to replace the mainboard that is in it is very costly and hard to source. The mainboard that is in is a  Lenovo LA-A092P.
    The specs are:
    AMD A10-5750M cpu
    1tb hd
    8gb ddr3
    And I was thinking would any other lenovo mainboard fit this laptop as I know there are a few different types of board that they did and are more easy to get hold of and cheaper. What do you think?
    If not then does anyone know where I can source one of these boards from for a resonable price, I live in the Uk.
    Many Thanks all.

    hi Andrews117,
    Thanks for the follow up info.
    Can you share the link maybe of where you bought it, the actual link 
    I tried checking the system board for your Modeltype number 59383984 
    It listed a Motherboard which is 
    90003237
    VALGD MB W8S UMA
    SYSTEM BOARDS
    This board is a Shared graphics memory and does not have a discrete Video Graphics.
    Please send me the link so I can verify if the link or the posted details from where you bought it was the problem.

  • Lenovo G505s: Overheatin​g?

    Hello.
    Is it normal for the temperature of the GPU to fluctuate around 60C when I'm not really doing anything on my laptop (Lenovo G505s)? So far it has turned itself off twice because of overheating (I think that's the reason, as each time it was really hot right after I turned it back on). Today I played a video (format: MKV, 1080p), and the temperature went up to 86C after just a few minutes. I figured it was getting a bit too high, so I closed the video for fear that the laptop might turn itself off again.
    What could be the cause?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi DN01,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that your G505s Laptop is getting overheated, I suggest you to perform “Dust Removal” feature provided in “Lenovo Energy Management” to make sure there is no dust particles in the CPU FAN and also make sure you use the Laptop on a Flat surface to increase the air flow in the Laptop.
    Do post us back if the issue still persists.
    Best Regards

  • Lenovo G505s wifi slow afrter upgrading to SSD

    Hi,
    I have Lenovo G505 (59-380146) (APU Quad Core A10-5750 2.5 Ghz/ 6GB Ram) Windows 7 x64. Upgraded my HDD to SSD (Sandisk SDSSDHP256G FW:X2316RL).System become rapid speed, windows boots in 8-10secs, HD tune transfer rate is between 357.3 and 409.6 MB/sec, simply everything just went perfect except Internet speed... With old HDD it used to be around 36-40Mbps, with SSD its now only around 11-13Mbps... My wireless card is Atheros AR956x. Drivers are up to date and downloaded from Lenovo support website. Tried old HDD - wifi works perfect.
    Does anyone knows whats the problem and how to fix it?? I only write here because I tried everything...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    hi Tomas985
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Just to check, when you open Device Manager > Network Adapters > Atheros AR956x (properties) > Driver Tab, have you tried comparing the wireless driver version from the old HDD to the new one?  
    If the drivers are different (it will help if you can list them here) try to re-install the Wireless Driver from the lenovo website or from the D:\Drivers\WLAN folder (old HDD) and ensure that the driver version is:
    Atheros v10.0.0.242 (Windows 8)
    Atheros v10.0.0.263 (Windows 8.1).
    If the drivers are the same and you have installed a firewall or security software (eg. Norton, Mcafee, AVG Security Suite, Zone Alarm, etc.), try to temporarily disable or uninstall them and observe.
    Alternatively, try also these drivers:
    - win8-v10.0.0.287-whql.zip
    - Win8x64_6.30.95.29_WHQL.exe
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Lenovo G505s upgrade

    Hi Guys
    was wondering if you can help me, i bought a Lenovo G505s about 9 months ago 8gb ram, 1tb hhd, amd 7640g, AMD a8 4500m could i upgrade this to a A10 and if so what one, im at work atm so i can give you any more details.
    more info im doing this so i can run League of Legends abit better atm i only get about 40 - 60 fps on that and 60 at low.

    hi HomebredTripod,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    As per this G505s tech specs and from the spare parts image below, the Lenovo G505s can go as much as AMD A10-5750M APU.
    - Link to picture
    The upgrade is possible but I don't think it's worth the money that you'll spend on the new CPU as it's a bit expensive and the improvement is not that great.
    - A8-4500M benchmark
    - A10-5750M benchmark (see price here)
    IMO, I think it will be much better if you get a new system with a dedicated graphics to boost the FPS while playing games (you can either keep your old Lenovo or sell it to addup to the cost of your new gaming rig).

  • Lenovo G505s Wireless Card not detected no driver

    I have a new lenovo g505s that came with windows 8. I removed all windows 8 partitions and installed windows 7. The install went great but I have no drivers. Installing the recomended LAN driver worked just fine and the ethernet is working great, but installing the lenovo recomended WLAN driver failed. (wlan118w7.exe)
    There is no networks showing up when I try to connect to a one.
    I have no wlan device in device manager, and an unknown 'Network Controller' showing up with yellow exclaimation point.
    The qualcomn driver that is distributed by Lenovo fails to install sometimes, stopping on a 'No Appropriate driver to be installed' error, and exiting.
    When it does complete the UI installs fine, but shows no mac addresses or packet activity.
    Here are the Hardware Ids for the 'Network Controller':
    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_302617AA&REV_01
    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&SUBSYS_302617AA
    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_028000
    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0036&CC_0280
    I have tried installing various drivers for this model and a few other similar model wlan cards. I have also tried the windows 8/8.1 drivers for my card.
    the default windows 7 drivers definately did not work and windows update didnt help anything.

    hi kr094,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    You can try this
    Download this file and extract it to a folder.
    Now Open Device Manager rightclick on that network controller and choose update driver.
       when a Window pop up choose Browse my computer for driver software
    You should have this window
    Click on the Browse  box and direct it to where you extract the File i asked you to download,
      continue with that and it should work,
    Let me know your findings

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.
