Lenovo RD120 & Hyper-v

Hello, sorry for my bad english.
i vant to install Hyper-v on my Lenovo RD120.
Wen i starting my virtual machine i'v got an error :
The virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running. The following actions may help you resolve the problem: 1) Verify that the processor of the physical computer has a supported version of hardware-assisted virtualization. 2) Verify that hardware-assisted virtualization and hardware-assisted data execution protection are enabled in the BIOS of the physical computer. (If you edit the BIOS to enable either setting, you must turn off the power to the physical computer and then turn it back on. Resetting the physical computer is not sufficient.) 3) If you have made changes to the Boot Configuration Data store, review these changes to ensure that the hypervisor is configured to launch automatically.

EventID 3112
I need to configure my bios option :
- Processor Execute Disable Bit is Enabled
- Intel Virtualization Technology is Enabled
the second is ok, but i don't find the first option ??
who could help me ??
thanks
Jean Marc

welcome to the forum!
what OS are you using? if it's server 2008 64-bit, do you have the hyper-v role installed?

URGENT: RAID5 Configuration on RD120 Server: Scenario A vs. Scenario B

This particular issue isn't server specific, but I am posting in this forum because it just so happens to be a brand new Lenovo RD120 I am working on.
Also, sorry for the urgent status but I have a very small amount of time to find the answer.
My issue concerns how to config RAID 5 redundancy and get 2 partitions, in the best possible manner, considering disaster recovery, and performance (but I really am not concerned about performance since this server is way over speced for the function it will be performing). The disks are 250GB X 3 so for simplicity let's just say total space is 500GB (of course total space is less due to misc. overhead).
I want to have 2 partitions on my future Windows 2003 installation; A "C" drive which will hold the OS, and an "E" drive which will hold data. I have 2 ways to accomplish this:
1) Config RAID 5 array with a single container to present to the OS. Have the OS installation create a partition 100GB for itself within that single container, then install the OS. Once installed, create a second partition for the remaining 400GB.
OR
2) Config RAID 5 array with 2 containers to present to the OS: 100GB and 400GB. Install the OS to the 100GB logical disk, and use the 400GB logical disk for "E".
I've Googled this every which way, and cannot come up with a difinitive answer. I also checked with our local server "expert" who says it does not matter which way to do it, and that he would do method #1.
Now I understand that both ways will accomplish what I am trying to do. HOWEVER, in terms of disaster recovery, I am leaning toward method #2 because we had a scenario 6 months ago where a server was configged this way and we lost container #1 (the OS), but container #2 remained intact (the data). We rebuilt container #1, then restored the OS, and it was beautiful; no loss of data from container #2.
SO, does having multiple RAID 5 containers introduce any negative concerns such as:
-More likely for RAID5 config to go corrupt (during events such as hard power loss, etc).
-Performance loss (I am not concerned about this but I would like to know)
-Premature hard drive failure (just a guess but I thought I'd mention it).
THANKS EVERYONE!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just to add to the topic as maybe anyone else might benefit from it.
I would suggest similar what Eric proposed. If you already have 3x250, instead of RAID 5 please buy additional 250GB HDD and use 2x250 RAID 1 for OS and 2x250 RAID 1 for data.
Also for data part I would suggest (if there's available bay) another 250GB disk as hot spare.
Disaster recovery is always more expensive than 1 spare HDD, esp. when server's lifecycle is 3-5 years.

Lenovo T500 Brief Review

Hello Lenovo Community!
Recently, I bought a Lenovo T500. After much research and reading many user's opinions as possible (two of which that was really helpful was on this forum by MidnightSun and www.notebookreview.com) I chose the T500. In my research, I could not find many video reviews and was kind of disappointed (obviously, it was not a deal breaker.) I would have liked to have had more written reviews, video reviews and just in general more information. So, I want to do this review to help future researchers become informed consumers! If anyone has any questions or suggestions (e.g.. Of bloatware to remove or any tips) please chime in!
Preface
Before I begin my review, I want to say that I am in no way an expert at computers beyond the basics. I've never bought a laptop before, and my old computer (given to me) was a Gateway M465-e, a business oriented laptop. It came with 512 RAM, 1.6 Ghz, 15.4" screen and I really liked it. It lasted me 5.5 years (and still going) although the past few months, it has really taken a dip (hence the reason for buying a new one!) I will be comparing my experiences with the T500 with that Gateway. I will be using my computer for mainly working with spreadshett, word documents, surfing internet, media hub (especially for iTunes), and, OF COURSE, playing video games! Whoot for switchable graphics!

Initial Impression
My computer took about a week to arrive. The packaging was fairly simple. I had expected the box to be bigger (why, I have no idea. I guess this is commensurate with the premium price. Hah.) Inside were the usual suspects: the computer, manuals, startup booklet, power adapter, XP BackUp CDs, ThinkPad nubs (replacements) and battery.
At first look, I thought it was quite big and bulky. However, after comparison with my Gateway, I found it to be slimmer and lighter (I chose the T500 primarily because of resolution; I really wanted the 1680x1080 resolution.) Personally, I love the sleek black look. It makes it look ominous, menacing and clean. It felt sturdy, but not as much as I had expected (I had this crazy idea that it could take a light-medium bang from a hammer.) Perhaps the image formed from reading about IBMs were a bit inflated. Anyway, it was clean, all the ports were where they are meant to be, it smelled nice, and of course looked pristine! It implored me to turn it on.
Build and Design
As aforementioned, I am becoming a huge fan of this design. From the creased overhang of the top bezel to the asymmetrical screen position, I love it! Little details like the hashed/ribbed strip from the top left corner and the imbedded "UltraConnect" lettering above the screen really make the ThinkPad feel like it warrants the price, special and unique. The top of the ThinkPad is made of a rubber-plastic material that allow a good grip. There is minimal logos and stickers. I especially like the indicators on the top (when it is closed) as well as on the bottom of the screen (when opened.) The hinge also seems to have been well built as it has a lot of resistance in opening the lid. When it is opened moving the the notebook does not move the screen at all (I hate it when you have to readjust your screen after swinging it from one place to another.)
One thing that bothered me a little was the vertically-positioned USB ports. I have a USB-port-extension device which increases my number of ports by 3. However, I am unable to use this device because of the shape of the device and because of the vertical port. It is difficult to describe, see below for picture. Anyway, having only 3 ports is quite terrible, considering my 5+ year old Gateway had 4.
Keyboard and UltraNav
One of the first things I looked for was the much-feared keyboard flex. This seems to have been mostly remedied because there this minimal flex on the right portion. There is, however,flex on the left portion of the keyboard (maybe left of the u-h keys.) It is only when I press quite hard that it flexes. When I am typing regularly, as I am now, it is utterly unoticeable. The keyboard, overall, is quite good. I like the clicky feel of it and can type on it with no hinderances or reserve. The volume buttons are VERY welcomed as they provide responsively (my old GW I had to hold the Fn to adjust.) I just say that the position of the PgUp/PgDn/Home/End and Esc button is a bit awkward as I have to move my hand quite out-of-way to access them. This is but a minor issue. I also wished that the delete button wasn't where it is. I use the delete button quite a bit and it is kind of difficult (as in the out-of-the-way sort)
As for the UltraNav, I am quite fond of it, although there are times when I prefer the normal touchpad-and-button. For me, the UltraNav is quite sensitive and can be frustrating to use. One moment you're shooting across the screen just fine, but then finding that one small spot on the screen is quite tedious. And yes, I know you can adjust it, but I just can't seem to find the perfect level. I have seen older ThinkPads, and think that I would have liked to have the red strips on the UltraNav buttons.
Display
The display is great, it is of the matte variety and is non-reflective (rather, minimally reflective.) It is clear and crisp throughout without any dark areas or any irregular eveness. It looks great at 1680x1080. The viewing angle range is wide and being 15.4" has lots of estate. The one thing I would like to comment on is brightness. My friend, sitting next to me, has a MBP, and I must say, it is far bright than the T500 at maximum brightness. And, yes, I did allow the screen to reach full brightness. This is not so much a big issue at the moment, but I do kind of worry that in a few years my non-LED display will become much less bright. But that's a trade off I'm willing to take (for screen resolution.)
Performance
In terms of performance, it seems to be slightly slower than I had imagined. I expected that it would blaze through everything and it mostly does. When adding my 10k+ songs onto iTunes, it took a significantly shorter time than my Gateway, but longer than I would have liked.
I played Bioshock, at first attempt at maximum resolution (1680x1080) and with all the bells and whistles turn on. It was sluggish, and barely playable. I had to turn the resolution down quite a bit before I thought it was smooth (as on Xbox or a PS3). I surmise this might have something to do with my RAM amount because even just sitting idle 65% of physical memory is used (darn you Vista and ThinkVantage!) The performance, I suppose, could be called as snappy and powerful and will handle, I'm sure, anything I will throw at it during normal usage (e.g. not gaming.)
Battery Life
When I ordered the computer, I didn't put too much on the battery because the T500 will be my desktop replacement and will be plugged in most of its life. Despite this, I have attempted a to measure battery life on a charge; I must say that it is pretty good. On a full charge and normal usage, i.e. wireless, multiple tabs on while online, Windows sidebar, and Skype, I was able to get about 5 hours plus or minus half an hour (I usually don't use my computer in blocks of 5 hours, so when I do stop, I put it to sleep.) This is pretty good considering I have the 6-cell battery and is not really a priority for me. Though still important when considering the price of the system as a whole.
Audio Speaker
The speakers are generally weak compared to my Gateway. The volume isn't has loud and the quality of the sound is not as good. This too like the battery life, was of low priority because, even though I use the T500 for media, I have a set up at home where I can plug it into a system that amplifies the sound and quality through speakers.
Heat and Fan
Compared to my Gateway, the ThinkPad is infinitely better in terms of dissipating heat and reducing noise. On the GW the fan would run incessantly, even without any taxing programs being run. Then it would turn into hyper fan mode and eventually shutdown from overheating. In the ThinkPad, the story is completely different. Even when I ran Bioshock, though audible, the fan never was intrusive. The heat, too, was quite good. It gets warm but never hot. If you want to see numbers, you should look at the review on notebookreview.com. I don't disagree with those numbers.
*******EDIT********
I apologize for not continuing the review as stated earlier. I won't review much else, UNLESS REQUESTED (and please, if you want me to review some part of the machine, I will more than happily do so, so just ask!)
For the final part of this review, I will give, what will be my final impression on the machine (that is, before my long-term; which won't be for a long time.)
Final Impression
I have now had my T500 ThinkPad for quite some time now, having used it for various tasks and knowing its idiosyncrasies, can say that overall I would give it a 8.5 out of 10. I really hate giving a definite Yes or No to these things, but if I were to be asked whether I recommend this computer or not, I could not say without full reservation that I do. There are several reasons for this: Firstly, though I love the resolution (as aforementioned, 'twas reason I opted for the T500 over the T400), I wish it were brighter, i.e. LED-bright, but at this resolution, and as of this review, it is not offered. And sitting next to a MBP owner, who's gorgeous screen is a stark reminder of superiority in terms of screen brightness, it instills a sense of uneasiness because of the not-cheap price--though to be fair, a spec'd up 15.4" MBP is significantly more expensive (~$600 more; I have the 3 years accidental damage and warranty.) At full brightness, it is a joy to look at, anything lower however is much darker. For example, with all lights off and in darkness, the lowest setting was difficult to see---what?---I expect to be able to see (read: use) it comfortably without straining my eye at every setting. Otherwise, what's the point? This is to say the screen is not bright enough at all levels. I understand the remedy is as easy as turning up the brightness, but that is not the point.
Secondly, ThinkVantage is helpful however it is ultimately a bloatware for me. When I open up the Task Manager, I would say about a third of the processes taking up my memory is ThinkVantage stuff. Taxing my system when most of the time I don't need it. To uninstall it would kind of defeat one of the uniqueness of the system (I mean, they even dedicated a button for it) and just doesn't seem right. I have yet to do so because I don't know the kinds of effect it will have on the system, so it may or may not be done.
Thirdly, there have been several crashes. For example, yesterday instead of my usual Fn-F4 (sleep), I closed the lid instead (which should yield the same effect.) As I got home from work, I found that not only has it not been sleeping, but had had the processor running inside my protective case. It was HOT and as I opened the lid, I saw the Blue Screen of Death. Additionally, it takes a long time for the computer to go to sleep (I'm talking about 30 seconds-1 minute.) My 6 YO Gately does it in 5-10 seconds, but then again, it runs Windows 7. This is probably the fault of Vista, though and can't be blamed on Lenovo.
All in all, if I could re-order a system from Lenovo, I would consider the T400 with LED and the same configuration (though I would want the T500's more powerful graphics option.) I realized that though I initially wanted the large screen size, I would trade it for portabiltiy. I realized the T400's screen was sufficient after looking at the MBP. I still wouldn't get a MBP because it just doesn't offer the flexibility of a PC (I find PCs easier to manipulate in general.) Happy shopping!

I have upgraded from 2gb to 4gb RAM (Vista bu 64bit) but T400 was still slower than the old MSI notebook. I had MSI 12", 1.8ghz sempron, 2gb RAM, 160HDD with UBUNTU 8.04. Now T400 with P8700, 4gb DDR3, discrete Ati 3470. What really helped me was NOT using Vista at all! I'm now on RC of Windows 7, it's much faster (boot, turning off, and aslo system respose is I think 4 times shorter than Vista has). Just wanted you to know how are these systems different. But if I had a choice, I would go for some linux distribution. Sadly fingerprint reader and thinkvantage software are not supported

SSD with caddy on Lenovo B50-70 Laptop not recognized by Windows 8.1

Hi all.
I just bought a B50-70 laptop and I thought I upgrade it with a SSD. I bought a caddy and a 120GB Kingston Hyper X Fury and I installed it in the DVD-ROM slot after removing the DVD drive. The problem is that Windows 8.1 does not properly detect this drive. Under Disk Management in Administrative Tools, the drive shows up with a down red arrow and when I try to create a MBR on it, an error message pops up with an I/O error. I have the latest BIOS firmware from Lenovo.
A Windows 8.1 installation disk does not recognize this drive as a valid on to install the OS on. The SSD works fine in another PC and it is properly detected by the B50-70 BIOS. My question is: does the B50-70 actually support a SSD via a caddy instead of the DVD-ROM? What can I do for this drive to work?
Please help!

Thanks for the hint. However, opening up the case to reach the HDD will void the warranty for the notebook.
Really? How's that? Do you have any sticker (paper or plastic) anywhere or covering some of the parts that you would have to disassemble in order to reach for and change the HDD? Unless you have one of those, I don't see how it could void your warranty.
Didn't you face the same problem when changing the DVD-RAM drive with the caddy?
I'm more interested to know if there's a specific issue with this laptop and caddys before I start thinking about waiving the warranty and tinkering with it. I found a similar issue on a dutch forum: http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/1600861 which might indicate a recurring problem.
I don't know about caddies that much, but isn't there a SATA to ATAPI kind of connector for it? I mean, did the DVD-RAM drive have a SATA connector just as a HDD has? Or is there a small controller over there, in your caddy, which converts from SATA to ATAPI.That might be a problem, in my opinion, however, I did not study this potential incompatibility issue with the adaptor, but it might be suspect.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13 (NOT Pro) Review

A few things (and please note that I am no techno geek). But I want to include things that helped me:
- If you do searches online, and even talk to customer service reps, here and at stores, they tend to get the Yoga 2 Pro mixed up with the Yoga 2 13.
- Reviews for the Yoga 2 13 are often for the one with lower end specs. I bought the one with upgraded specs.
- For some reason the Lenovo Sales reps will tell you that the Yoga Pro is the only Yoga model with a backlit keyboard. This is not true! The Yoga 2 13 has a backlit keyboard - as does the yoga Thinkpad. Lenovo Backlit keyboards always have a little red "light" symbol on the space bar. And yes, this is a feature that I use all the time.
- Wifi issues. Yes, I have had a few issues, but they were solved by going to Intel's website and updating the driver. When I tried updating it from the device list, I was told it was up to date, however it obviously was not. I have also read of another fix having to do with the bios, if the connection starts going out going in tablet mode, but have not needed to try this yet.
- Speaking of modes...I use Tablet, Desktop and Tent mode all the time. I use stand mode too, but I like that tent keeps the keyboard clean. Really, I'm not sure how I functioned without a laptop that flips. My 3 year old can happily play ABC Mouse in tablet mode, my 12 year old son can watch YouTube videos, and I can fall asleep in bed watching Psych on Netflix in tent mode. I read books in tablet mode, which is quite comfortable resting on my lap.
- The keyboard. I love it. My only regret is that the space bar has more travel to it, which means you have to push it harder then the rest of the keys, so many ofmy sentenceslook likethis. The backlit is awesome. I believe the Yoga Thinkpad has a backlite that you can adjust, but no biggies. I do hate that the onscreen keyboard pops up -annoyingly so - when I am clearly in laptop mode.
-The screen. I looked at the Yoga Pro, but really, I was quite pleased with the Yoga 2 13's screen. The colors are vivid, and true to life, and I have had no issues with yellows, or ghosting etc. I will say that trying to read in bright sunlight is next to impossible, but it's nice to be able to adjust the brightness level with the touch of a button. I also love the touch screen, and use it all the time.
- Sound. The sound quality is nice, but I wish you could turn it up louder. Watching Netflix by the pool is next to impossible, but I think you can buy an external speakers.
- If you have never had a computer with SSD, then you are in for a treat. This computer does have an extra slot for an upgrade, but I am fine for now with what I have.
- Windows 8.1. I love it. Now, I have been using my Windows phone for over a year now, so it's what I'm used to. Win. 8.1 still has a desktop with all if the old features, you just have to get used to where everything is. ***Note that Windows 8.1 comes with a FREE virus scanner, but it will not work if the computer has other virus software loaded on it (like what this one comes with). So ditch the McAfee, Norton, or whatever else and ho with free.
-Bloatware. Yes, this comes with Lenovo stuff, but who cares? Keep it or delete it. I will say that some of the things - like the motion control and Dragon - have not worked at all for me. Whatever. Not a big deal in the scheme of things.
- The Yoga 2 13 with upgraded specs - i7, 8gb, SSD, - does not exist in orange. At least not here in the US. I would've like that, but again, not a huge deal.
- I wish this one came with the Lift and Lock Keyboard, but again, it's not that big of a deal, as the keys are deactivated.
-The Yoga Mode App is sometimes a little hyper, and hearing the ding noise while I'm watching a movie, and barely move, gets a little old, but I'm sure I could just uninstall if it got too much.
- Battery. The battery is pretty good. I charge it up every night, and during the day when I can, and It's just fine. I love how the connecter is sturdy,and can be connected no matter which way you plug it in (unlike say, a mini USB)
-Weight. My last laptop was a 15 inch, that I got 7 years ago, and it was far from portable. This one is light enough to carry like a book. I am still trying to find a good bag for it, but have not found the perfect one yet.
So, why didn't I just go Pro?
I bought this computer elsewhere - rhymes with seegay - because I was nervous about having to wait moths for shipping, but regardless the Yoga 2 13 is a tiny bit cheaper. The screen issues and crazy resolution of the Pro did make me nervous, as well as the fact that I read some reports if the screen cracking - it is thinner then the Yoga 2 13. I like how sturdy the Yoga 2 13 feels, and how easily it is to switch modes, When I played with the Pro, the screen flexibility was concerning to me.
Also, the Yoga 2 13 is the NEWEST Yoga model, right now. It was released in 2014, and is the Yoga 13 with all the links ironed out, and upgraded features - like backlit keyboard - and specs - Haswell possessor, etc.
Asus is said to be releasing a Yoga like computer soon, but I am happy with my purchase

Thanks for the review.
I have had my Yoga 2 13 since the end of March. I had spent several weeks researching notebooks and just needed a nudge to make a decision. The Yoga 2 13 for $799 from BestBuy nailed it for me. I have been very happy with my purchase. The screen is the best I have ever had in a notebook. My other notebooks lacks the contrast and color fidelity of the Yoga 2 13. I love the long battery life and the speed of the battery charge.
Have fun with your Yoga 2 13.

Yoga 2 Pro - Hyper-V not working right on Win 8.1 Pro

I wiped my Yoga 2 Pro and loaded Win 8.1 Pro, with all Lenovo drivers installed. I also enabled Hyper-V in the BIOS. However, I keep running into this issue as seen in the System event log:
"The speed of Hyper-V logical processor 2 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
I see one of these message for each of the four logical processors. Any ideas on what the issue is? Thanks.

I did try removig the Lenovo energy management software, but that didn't work. I also then reinstalled and tried setting it to Performance mode. However, I didn't look for a Windows power mgmt solution.
What's weird is that after I powered down and used the Novo button to check the BIOS version (just to confirm what I said earlier), when I restarted Windows again I did not see the Hyper-V error message. I haven't restarted again, but will check again tomorrow morning when Windows starts again.

When I install the Hyper V Feature set (Win 8.1) - I lose my DVI connected monitors.

I have decided to switch over from VMWare Player to Hyper V for my VMs, however I am running into a deal breaker type issue.
After I install the Hyper V features (via Programs and features) I get prompted for a restart while the system installs the feature set.
When I finally get booted back up I am no longer able to detect my two monitors that are connected via DVI.
I have a Lenovo T430 and all the System drivers and Windows updates are current. VGA still works, but I only have one VGA port and need two.
Troubleshooting so far:
Phyiscal Layer:
I tried new cables, new docking station, different monitors.
I removed the Hyper V feature set and regained my use of the DVI monitors.
I don't really know where to begin troubleshooting after that. I am not that familiar with hypervisors. I need access my lab environment. Please help!
Any ideas on steps to troubleshoot with would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Sir,
>>After I install the Hyper V features (via Programs and features) I get prompted for a restart while the system installs the feature set.
>>When I finally get booted back up I am no longer able to detect my two monitors that are connected via DVI.
Do you mean all of these ports can work well at a time without enabling Hyper-v ?
I checked the laptop "T430" ,it has two video card .
Please try to disable the integrated one for test .

Hyper V under Windows 8.1 Pro

I am a customer who has just invested in the full version of Windows 8.1 Pro (x64)
NB: There is no client-server relationship here, just one PC.
However, I have important 32-bit only applications that I have found won't even install on this 64-bit OS, and they need a GPU to run them.
PS: Please don't suggest that I do not use the 32-applications, as 64-bit versions are not available. Thank you.
Anyway, so to solve this I have installed a 32-bit Windows version in a VM using Hyper V, and my applications will install ok within that VM. So far, so good.
However, they still won't run because they can't detect the GPU!
How do I get this "RemoteFX vGPU" thing working so they can detect the GPU in my machine?
This must be a very, very common scenario for everyone thinking of upgrading to Windows 8.1 Pro.
Will Microsoft help out, or do I need to maintain a second PC just for my 32-bit applications?

Good day.

[New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

Hello,
i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro.
- I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
- i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client' is not usefull for me
So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.
Thanks a lot for tour reply

Hyper-V stopped turbo boost and cpu park on my intel 4702mq processor?

Hi I just got my lenovo thinkpad e540(core i7 4702mq ,256 hyper-x ssd, nvidea geforce 2gb...)
I installed windows 8.1 and server 2012 r2 to separate personal and business use.
The cpu was running at many speeds to preserve battery life (between 0.7ghz and 3.2ghz on turbo boost). After installing the hyper-v role, the speed in task manager is stale at 2.19ghz and
all the cores are not being parked even when the system is idle, is this a bug or that's just how virtualization work??
Thanks!!

Performance mode probably means having higher voltages or higher "optimized" settings to run the system. Fail safe mode already spelt out its intentions to keep the system from failing.
For details, you can contact MSI for more information.
As I stated in my first post, I carefully went through all of the BIOS settings and the only thing I could find different between 'default' and 'optimized' is the setting for 'Intel Turbo Boost'.
I will post a question on the BIOS board about any other differences, but until then my original question remains...
...does anyone know of any problems (and hopefully FIXES) with the P55-GD80 and Intel Turbo Boost?

How do I enable Hyper V in C-540

Hi, I know this is very common for windows 8 users, but I don't know how do I do it? I pressed F2, F10, del, but it seems not working. How do I enable the Hyper-V? I need to go to the BIOS for that but unable to go to BIOS using the keys. I am unable to start my Windows Phone 8 apps development as that is very much required.
Please help. Thanks.
Model C-540. Windows 8 64 bit, 4 GB RAM. i5

I come to know that Microsoft and Lenovo both are real culprit here. first Microsoft selling a Windows 8 Home edition through "Windows 8 Single language" license. They don't even care to publish the details of the OS version - Pro or Enterprise.
Next Lenovo is making the life difficult to run the Windows 8 emulator, First Hyper-V which is not installed in Windows 8 Single language and then Intel virtualization technology is behaving in a weird way. even though it is enable in the BIOS, Hyper-V finds it as a disable mode and asking the user to enable it again.
So the main question is "any BIOS update will fix the issue?" Or any patch from Microsoft windows 8 will fix the issue? The answer is really unknown to me. Only one, who can solve it is Microsoft and Lenovo both. But it will only happen if they are willing to. Developers put a lot of effort for windows 8 development, and windows phone 8. Please help them. I bought this system only for this development purpose and already invested a hard-core earned money of whopping 62K. I will be helpful if any of the community member take a note of this, and put into the lime light of Lenovo core team members.
Thanks.

Error 0x800f0203 when enabling Hyper-V on 8.1

I had Windows 8.0, disabled Hyper-V, and upgraded to Windows 8.1.
I'm trying to re-enable Hyper V now. I've successfully enabled / installed Hyper-V Manager, but Hyper-V Platform is errorring out.
I'm on a Lenovo W530 with updated drivers.

When I restart after enabling the feature, I get "Could not complete the updates" and everything rolls back.
I've tried to search for a solution, I've done the DISM /RestoreHealth, to no avail. What could be causing this?

After making the BIOS changes the box needs to be cold booted.
Some BIOS options will not become available without a cold boot. And with laptops this can equal pulling the battery.
Also, don't miss updating the BIOS.
And last, ensure that the flavor of the chipset that you have really does support the feature. As there are cases where the motherboard supports it, or the BIOS allows enabling it, but the chipset does not actually have it.

Thank you Lenovo | Open Letter to Lenovo Users & Tech Support

A few weeks ago I saw the Lenovo K430 on NewEgg while shopping for a new Desktop. I was amazed by the K430’s features and great looks. However, after doing some research I became very baffled about the Power Turbo Switch and the many horror stories about upgrading the graphics card.
I called Lenovo Technical Support to talk about possibilities and get advice about the graphics card, a woman answered the phone and informed me she had no idea or information about graphics card; but she recommended I speak to Sales. I was transferred to sales and they too informed me that they knew nothing about the computer or graphics card.
I decided to call B&H Photo, the name sounds deceiving but they really are the best with support. The Technical Support told me if I really wanted a great computer I should think about building my own.
So today, I embarked on the journey to build my own computer and I want to say thank you to Lenovo. If it wasn’t for Lenovo's extremely bad Tech Support and Sales I would not have built my own computer.
Lenovo you are so terrible and clueless, you have inspired me, you have driven me by showing me your lack of knowledge and sense of awareness, the idea that a company has a sales and tech department that knows absolutely nothing about their own product. Thank you Lenovo, you are simply the worse PC maker on the Planet!
Thanks to you; today I have the most powerful computer I could ever imagined. The only Tech Support Leno provides is the word Support on their website.

ThinkPad W520 & Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 PnP 1600MHz Compatibility

Hello all,
I just ordered a W520 with an i7-2820QM 8MB L3. It comes with 8GB (2 x 4GB) of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM, (Samsung?) I have 16GB (4 x 4GB) of Kingston Hyper-X 1600MHz DDR3 RAM on hand and am wondering if any W520 owners/users have had any experience with this ram. So far, I've read comment from two individuals and they both appear to be having no problems. Hopefully, I can then put the 8GB of 1333MHz into my daughter's MacBook Pro. Thank you for your anticipated assistance.
Best Regards,
Bert

Thanks for the replies. I really do appreciate them. I was getting somewhat discouraged because, despite reading some really good mainstream reviews of the W520, I'm also reading so many negative issues re. the W520 on the Lenovo related forums. I had also spec'd out an Alienware M14x with a i7-2860QM 8MB L3 and 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 for not much more than I paid for this W520 but chose the W520 base on based on brand loyalty.
This is my mid-life toy. I really don't need all the processing power I've ordered but I wanted it anyway. I'm not much of a gamer, however, I do like flight simulator software. I suppose the best analogy would be buying that Porsche knowing full well that the speed limit is 55 m.p.h. I chose the ThinkPad brand because I had inherited an IBM R51 that soldiers on to this day while many of my friends' and co-workers' Dells, HP's, etc. have given them problems &/or gone to laptop heaven. I had to chuckle when they would get the BSOD on their machines and ask to borrow mine so they could bang out a quick memo on Word 2002 running under XP SP3. I'll still use the R51 as a road warrior on vacation or quick getaways but I wanted the best machine I get for approx. $2,500 for my "shack" laptop. I'm an amateur radio operator and will also be running rig (transceiver) control as well as antenna modeling software.
Again, my thanks for hearing me out and reassuring me re. the Hyper-X RAM. I'm no longer in corporate IT (I'm an ex-Senior Programmer Analyst for an Investor Communication Services company.) and am now in the family business. (3rd generation law enforcement officer) Our "IT Unit" guys walk around with Panasonic Toughbooks that have i3 processors with 2GB RAM but cost over $3K! The price of durability, I suppose.
Very Best Regards,
Bert
P.S. I wonder if I can replace that i7-2820QM with a i7-2860QM at some time in the future - smile,
