Lenovo G580 20157 32 bit or 64 bit?

Hello everybody!
I just bought a Lenovo G580 vith no operating system on it. The problem is that since i don't know if my Lenovo is 32 bit or 64 bit , i don't know if the operating system i'm going to buy should be a 32 bit or a 64 bit. Here are some specifications of the processor: Intel Celeron dual core B830, 1.8 GHz, L3 cache 2MB. Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance guys.

Good day.
This --> Intel link should help you out. The bottom section reads as your CPU is 64-bit.
Hope this helps.

Lenovo G580(20157) won't shut down [Windows 7]

Problem:
I have a Lenovo G580(20157) with Windows 7(64-bit),
My BIOS version is 62CN40WW (Phoenix MoBo), and I have a problem with my laptop even though it works and boots up fine it won't shutdown!!
Troubleshooting:
I have tried the following:
1.Do Hardware test - No errors.
2.Reflash BIOS. - Still won't shutdown
3.Do a clean boot. (I believe it is a BIOS issue but I still did it anyways...)
4.Used the boot utility provide at your website but it still doesn't shutdown even in Linux, it is stuck at shutdown message (Arch Linux/Open Suse)
5.Disabled UEFI
And all other quick hacks like pressing shift and shutdown, disable BIOS options like redoing steps 1-5 etc, etc................
P.S:I have a dual-boot system (Windows + nix) with Legacy boot enabled if it matters. Thanks!

hi ArchKudo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you consider doing the following:
1. Turn off the machine and remove the HDD
- Video Disassembly Guide (see FRU Videos)
2. Boot from a live Windows or Linux disc/usb (see this guide for Ubuntu and select Try Ubuntu)
3. After booting from a live disc/usb, see if you can shutdown the machine.
If the computer turns off properly, try to put the HDD back in place and consider running another scan on the HDD using HD Tune.
- http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html
If you get a warning or any errors on the Health Tab / Error Scan Tab then it's likely that you have a failing HDD and
you may need to contact lenovo for warranty service or replace the entire HDD.

This guide is not System Specific and not all of the option may show inside a certain BIOS version, Just Make sure that all optionlisted here that is available on a Lenovo BIOS is set as follows.
Ideacentre BIOS Menu is F1 and F2 for Ideapad.
Under Exit TAB
OS Optimization
OS Optimized
For the two options above:  Should be set as Disabled or Other OS
Under Boot Tab / Start up Tab
Boot Mode Should be set to Legacy
Boot Priority Should be set to Legacy First
UEFI Boot should be set to Disabled
Quick Boot should be Disabled
StartUp device Menu prompt should be Disabled
Quick Boot Should be Disabled
USB Boot should be Enabled
Secure boot Should be Disabled
Once everything are Set, make sure to save all changed by hitting F10 and Enter for Yes
    After Hitting enter It will Restart and You will have to keep on tapping F12
       this should pull up the Boot Menu letting you select where to boot.
If not succesful pulling up the boot menu after the restart, Power Drain the System and turn it on while hitting F12 Again.

Lenovo G580(20157) [Win 7] Bluetooth problems??

I have a lenovo G580(20157) which has a BCM4313 wireless chipset which supports both WiFi as well as Bluetooth, (citation here: Broadcom Chipsets)
However I can't use the Bluetooth capability of my chipset.....
I tried downloading drivers from the Lenovo website(Drivers Main Page), but it would say no driver found at the end of the installation!!
Also I downloaded Lenovo Energy Managment, and it only shows WiFi (here is a screenshot)
I also tried downloading Broadcom Bluetooth Solution but itis stuck at detetcting device:
P.S: I have a new windows 7 installation...Thanks

hi ArchKudo,
Looking at the G580 parts (page 102 of the HMM), the Broadcom BCM4313 that the machine uses is a Wi-Fi only card .
- Link to picture
- Sample item (BCM4313 with Bluetooth)
- Sample item (BCM4313 Wi-FI only)
This may explain why you only see the Wi-Fi settings when you press Fn+F5, In this case, you may need to use a usb bluetooth adapter (like this item) to enable bluetooth functionality on the machine.

hi GlenMcKenna20,
I see now,
Your system's Intel Wireless software is left but the.
Wireless Device is not being detected.
That atheros there is your Cabled connection and not the wireless
Your wireless should be Intel.
Can you try
Booting into BIOS By turning OFF your Computer.
Turn it back on and right away start tapping F2.
you should be able to boot to this screen
Now go to Configuration tab and make sure the Wirelesss LAN is enabled. then hit F10 To Save the settings and Exit
IF ever it is already Enabled, Disable it and Re enable it then save the settings.
Make sure to save before going out of BIOS, it should work.

Lenovo G580 20157 but no HDMI port?

Hello,
My brother has recently purchased a Lenovo G580 laptop from New World in Menlyn, Pretoria, South Africa (http://www.newworldmenlyn.co.za)
According to the advertised specs (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/essential/g-series/g580/index.html#techspecs) and the PDF manual that came with the laptop, this model should definitely have an HDMI port right next to the two USB ports on the left side, as well as Bluetooth connectivity, however neither are present.
Prior to purchasing from New World he looked at a demo model (the same one) at another store (Incredible Connection - http://www.incredible.co.za) which DID have an HDMI port and Bluetooth.
As such we are worried that he might have purchased a gray market, refurbished or fake unit.
When checking the warranty status (with serial number) at http://support.lenovo.com/en_ZA/product-service/warranty-status/default.page?, the warranty shows "active", though.
The laptop's touchpad is also extremely unreliable, to the point of being impossible to use without causing MAJOR frustration. We tried updating to the latest Windows 8 touchpad drivers and played with all the settings in the ELAN drivers, as well as the default Windows trackpad settings, but nothing helped.
Please can someone from Lenovo confirm whether this laptop should in fact have an HDMI port, Bluetooth, and a trackpad that works (I will provide the serial nr. in a PM upon request), and what we should do to rectify this problem.
Appreciate any help.

Sorry but I can't relate that 20157 number to the 8-digit numbers in the 3book
Perhaps it's an international model that isn't in the 3book. Hopefully someone else will join the conversation and shed some light.
I can say (again) that there are non-bluetooth non-HDMI G580 machines listed so I don't think yours is somehow missing those features "by mistake" from the factory. More likely your retailer just didn't represent the laptop correctly

Unable to install Windows 8 upgrade on Lenovo G580 i5 (64-bit)

I purchased a Windows 8 upgrade online but have not been able to install it and Microsoft Support has not been able to help me though they have tried over several weeks now.
I've uninstalled Avast Anti-Virus and removed almost all start-up background applications. When I run the Windows 8 setup file, the first error that pops-up is "Setup is unable to initialise the start-up folder".
On clicking OK, the next error pops up, "Setup is unable to launch Install.exe. The system cannot find the file specified [Error = 0x800700002]".
And now, whenever I boot-up I'm asked (in a DOS screen) to select either "Windows Setup" or "Windows 7" but selecting the former says "File:\$WINDOWS.~BT\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\winload.exe is missing or corrupt [Status:0xC000000f]".
Microsoft Support asked me to boot-up into Safe Mode and run an Avast app that removes all traces of the anti-virus (aswclear.exe) program but I'm not able to get into Safe Mode due to the above boot issue so am at my wits end.
Microsoft Support says the next step would be to try a re-install of Windows 7, meaning wiping everything out from the laptop, and then trying the upgrade to Windows 8. I would like to avoid doing that but failing to get assistance from this forum, it's what I shall be forced to do.
Thank you,
Derick 'tearing his hair out' Goh.

Hi:
You have to boot from the 64 bit installation media and do a clean (custom) install.
It will not run from a 32 bit Windows desktop.
No 64 bit operating system will.
In other words, you can't upgrade from a 32 bit to a 64 bit operating system, and retain your programs and files.
So back up any files you don't want to lose.

Network Controller G580 (20157) - Unknown Device

Hi,
I have bought this Lenovo G580 (20157) laptop 2 years back. I had formatted my Laptop last night and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit. Then i downloaded all the drivers from Lenovo Website. The Problem here is After installing all the drivers my Device Manager shows this YELLOW ICON as UNKNOWN DEVICE - NETWORK CONTROLLER. I tried all available options like trying to update the driver manually but still i am unable to find any solutions. I would really appreciate your effort on this which will be very helpful.

hi kalhemhtc,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try one of these drivers:
Windows 7 - G580 (model 2689, 20157)
Wireless LAN Driver (CyberTan, Liteon) for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - G580 (2689, 20157)
Intel Wireless LAN Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) - G580 (2689, 20157)
If the above drivers doesn't work, can you follow this guide on how to identify the network controller from its hardware ID.

Error related to EFI system..unable to install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580..

Hi,
I have Lenovo g580 which had DOS preinstalled in it {i5, 500GB, 4GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32-bit on it. At that time, it gave some problem while rebooting 1st time, but i ran repair windows option and everything ran smoothly.
But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64-bit on the laptop using a DVD, no matter which drive I select, it does not allow me to go ahead. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.
Link to image
There is no disk controller option in BIOS, nor is there anything related tto UEFI systems.
i did r&d on uefi systems, but i want to be sure of everything before i go ahead with anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for no help guyz!
but i found a way..so for anybody else out there..here is the solution..
When installing at the partition screen hit Shift+F10.
At the prompt type diskpart and press Enter.
Type list disk (Not the number of the disk you want to use)
Type select disk X where is X is the number of the disk you want to use.
Type clean. This will erase all the data on your system.
Type convert gpt
Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only Unallocated Space. Use that to install the new windows.
Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data

hi Arczi_Ghost,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From the first video, it looks like there's a problem with the Windows Loader or a system file that's needed to load but fails. Since you already re-installed Windows, this is most likely not an OS issue.
- Windows 7 Boot Process
From the second video, the flickering can be with the display (LCD) or wit hthe GPU / GPU driver. It's a bit early to tell without running some tests.
If you manage to boot Windows, can you try the following:
1. Install Lenovo Solutions Center and run a full hardware scan on the PC.
2.. Alternatively, you can also manually install the following and run a quick test on the unit.
- Lenovo Video Quick Test
- Lenovo Motherboard Bus Quick Test
- Lenovo Memory Test
- Lenovo Storage Quick Test
Edt: Fixed the links
Let me know how it goes.

Lenovo G580 boot menu is not working when pressing F2 and F12 key

QuestionI bought a new Lenovo G580 series laptop. After installation of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit edition, a problem revealed when Lenovo driver get installed.
When I installed Intel HD 3000 graphics driver and restarted laptop, the Window was unable to start normally. It displayed an error, so a recovery program started which was recommended. But this program failed to resolve the problem. Later, I tried again to load Windows normally but the blue screen fatal error showed up.
I attempted to reinstall Windows again, but after restarting window, the boot menu was not showing up after pressing F12 key. F2 key was also not working either.
I spoke to a Lenovo techincal assistance expert and they suggested me to remove battery and charger and press start key for 30 seconds.
My problem still remains the same, and I am unable to access boot menu.
The bios version is 62cn34ww. ls there a way I can get this running again?
AnswerPlease take note that the suggestion below is just a troubleshooting guide. If the steps could not fix the issue, you need to send you machine in for service for further assistance.
Try removing the hard disk , then press F2 button to enter BIOS
If you are successful in entering the bios, pleaes load set up defaults
Save setting by pressing F10 and shut the machine down
Connect the hard drive back and check if can enter BIOS via F2 and F12 to see boot menu

Lenovo G580 - WIndows 8 - Resizing OS partition & problems with system recovery

Hello Everybody,
Just bought a Lenovo G580 notebook with pre installed Windows 8 (500gb harddisk, 4 gb RAM, Intel B960).I have been using Easeus partition manager with Windows 7 & its been working very well.So I wanted to partition my new HDD with it.Upon creating the a new 100gb partition (most importantly from OS partition that was about 428 gb) a very strange thing happened.The Refresh/Reset functions of WIndows 8 stopped working saying required recovery files are missing, also Lenovo One Key recovery program does not work with the message that required service partition is currently unavailable.At the same time, apparently partition called Windows recovery (1000 mb, hidden) still exists.One more peculiar thing I noticed & that is there is a new 1mb unallocated partition before the Windows recovery partition.While partitioning I did not receive any message about deleting of any data.One last piece of information (not sure if relevant) is before doing partition I had created a system image that I am unable to restore, Windows 8 repair function recognises the image bit is unable to restore it.
Any ideas how to restore the System Recovery functions or how to restore the system image.
Thanks
Petr

Lenovo g580 do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice ?

Hello, If anyone could help me please ?, I am wondering do I need to buy an external audio interface to record live instruments and voice onto my lenovo g580.?
My friends have said that good laptops have audio interface's built in... but I cannot see how this could work as I am trying to build a home recording studio. Do they mean that I just need to have a mixing desk ? As the audio interface is already in my laptop, ?
Another question I have is... I have bought a microphone to record with a studio mic. But when I plug it into the headphone socket, it works as a speaker and not as a microphone. Please can you tell me how do I make it work as a microphone, and record on ableton. Thanks. I live alone with two cats so I'd really appreciate some help !
Thank you very much, best wishes.

I'm preparing to expand my studio from a 1 man songwriting system,
to add the capability to record a complete live band, with 16 separate
simultaneous tracks recording. Am I dreaming?
Nope. I've been recording live bands with up to 56 channels at 24 bit 48kHz for three years now.
1) Does my computer have enough native power to handle such a task?
Yes. The actual recording uses the hard drive buss, so you need to make sure you have fast drives and a dedicated FW or SATA buss for them.
2) Is there an audio interface device that could help shoulder some of
the cpu load?
No. CPU is used only for routing audio, effects, etc. An audio interface is used to route the audio in and out of the computer, and as such does not process effects at all.
3) is it possible to use my multiple, fast internal drives to help?
Yes. Although with Logic Pro you can use only one drive at a time for recording. HOWEVER, I have been able to use SATA drives to record up to 56 tracks AT ONCE. So there is plenty of power there.
4) If not 16, what's the highest realistic track count I can hope for?
Again, I have done 56 tracks. 16 is a walk in the park in comparison to 56. I would recommend you invest in Apogee AD16X and DA16X, since in one interface you get ALL 16 inputs, and the other gives you the 16 outputs to go to, say, a mixer. And the sound quality is very very very good.
thanks in advance
You're welcome.
Cheers

Lenovo G580 - Beep Code (Problem)

Hello.
I have problem with my laptop Lenovo G580.
I buy this laptop 3 months ago without systems. I have system Win 7 32-bit and 64-bit.
Now i ahve problems with laptops and warranty service.
Laptop turns on normally sometimes and sometimes not. ( If problems shows, i cut the power off, remove battery wait for few sec, and turn on, sometimes i must do it 3 times)
It often happens that the computer will not boot just beeps.
The video below, also sometimes blink window.
Link 1: http://youtu.be/e_fbWrL0ZHs
Link 2: http://youtu.be/woviKyV7JdI
I thought that it is the fault of the firmware so I reinstalled Windows from 64-bit to 32-bit. It did not work. Flashing window appeared even when installing on a clean drive( second link, window blink on the beginning video), so I think it is rather not the fault of the firmware just the laptop PC hardware.
I sent the laptop with cinematics to warranty service and wrote back to me that "after many hour tests, there was no problem" reset bios, swapped RAM and sent him back to me.
Already two times I sent the laptop to them. Can you advise me what the problem is? What i can do to solve problem? Sorry for language mistakes. If need more information ples write in this topic.
Please help.

and after that i can't install all drivers
so how can i recovery the default partition and Original Win7
Iam looking to download A recovery DVD
plz Help urgent becouse i am upset for 2 weeks for this action
bye bye
Moderator Note; s/n edited for member's own protection

Hi mdiab and welcome to the Community,
When you modify the partitions, recovery doesn't work anymore. The only way to get back the original Windows is with a set of recovery discs which have to come from Lenovo. There's no way to download them.
You have to make a call to service and get a set of discs. That's the only way to get back the original Windows.
Sorry about the bad news,
Dave
