Lenovo Z50-75 AMD FX 7500 CPU/APU Problem?

ich hab ein Problem mit meinem Lenovo Z50-75.
Es ist das Modell mit dem AMD FX 7500 und der Radeon M7
Immer wenn ich das Spiel Pillars of Eternity startet, fährt der Prozessor die Geschwindkeit auf max 1,1 GHz runter, also der Turbo Core wird nicht aktiviert.
Nur wenn ich die Turbo Core funktion ausschalte (via AMD Overdrive) komm ich auf 2,1 GHz
ich Catalyst Control Center habe ich dem Spiel zwar die "Hochleistungs"Grafik zugeordnet, aber immer wenn ich das Spiel starte und die Überprüfung starte, sehr ich das diese nur der Energiesparendengrafik zugeordnet wird.
Hat einer n heißen Tipp für mich?

Hallo Ochmeister,
ich suche hier noch das Problem am Notebook. Passiert das denn bei allen Spielen? Wie ist die Spieleperformance in Pillars of Eternity mit/ohne Turbo Core? Es muss nicht immer heißen, dass 'Höchstleistung' unbedingt notwendig ist.
Solche 'Unstimmigkeiten' zwischen Grafiktreiber und einem bestimmten Spiel werden auch gern durch kurzfristige Patches behoben.
Gruß - Sebastian

Extreme slow boot time + HDD access - AMD FX 7500, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD

My problem is weird. I bought a brand new Lenovo z50-75 laptop. 4 cores, 4 Gb RAM, etc. I installed a 64 bit Windows 7 (SP1) on it. After I installed the Windows, the boot was long and the programs loaded slow too. So I downloaded the latest Ahci drivers (14.9), but nothing changed. I decided to try this out with SSD (Kingston SSDNow V300). The results were the same, the machine was SLOW! The Ahci is ON - I checked it in BIOS. What is happening? Please help me!

Hello,voI have exactly the same laptop (Z50-75 AMD FX-7500 with 8GB RAM and Seagate SSHD 1TB) and excatly the same problem. I have change the HD and install a new SSD (samsung evo 850) and the same problem.Also I try with a new install of win7 64 bits without AV and any drivers and nearly two minutes fot boot. With the original windows 8 was working fine.I suspect that this notebook works just fine with Windows 8 because of the bios, I do not want to upgrade the bios because in my other lenovo B30-50 I upgrade the bios and now I can not use windows 7 anymore. Very bad from lenovo. Juan

Lenovo Browser Guard Service - Culprit for CPU hogging.

I noticed yesterday that an object called WMI Provider Host was constantly using up around 10%average to 30% maximum of my CPU at some times. I looked into WMI Provider Host further and found out lots of services connect to this, making it hard to find the root cause of the problem.
After hours of trying to find the cause, I gave up and decided to start switching off services one by one. When I got round to turning off the Lenovo Browser Guard Service I noticed that it immediatly reduced the WMI Provider Host CPU usage to around what I presume is the normal 1-2%
I thought I should notify you of the problem as I find it pretty amazing that Lenovo Browser Guard is such a burdon on the CPU, something must be wrong with it.
Is this happening to anyone who has this software installed? I understand it's preloaded onto their PC's.
It may of been happening to me in the past but I just didn't notice it, it only came to my attention when online streaming websites like Twitch started to slow.
I'm running a Lenovo Z50-70

Hi opplo,
I do not have Lenovo Browser Guard on my computers, so I cannot speak from personal experience. If you decide that you do not want LBG, it can be removed easily via Programs > Uninstall.

Lenovo Z50-70 compatibility issue between power management ....

Hello I got my Lenovo Z50-70 Back in May 2015 and decided to reinstall the OS cause I didn't want the bloatware that came with the computer. I installed the drivers that came with the computer and now I'm getting a power management compatibility issue that I can't seem to find the solution to online. I believe this is part of the problem as to why my computer only charges to 60%. Some forums have suggested Bios issues but idk how I would go about approaching that issue so if anyone could help me solve this issue, that would be greatly appreciated. Description

hi sreedhar2009,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Just to verify, was the machine running on Windows 7 before and you upgraded to Windows 8 via the upgrade advisor?
- If this is the case then you will need to uninstall the Lenovo Energy Management for Windows 7 from the Control Panel > Programs and install the Windows 8 versions below (reboot if necessary):
For Lenovo G580 (2189, 20150):
Lenovo Energy Management
Windows 8 32/64bit

Lenovo Z50-75 : Critical Process Died

Hi, i bought lenovo z50-75 few months ago. I'm trying to update my computer on 21/07/15 as it suggest to update and restart.But then it stuck during update and blue screen with a sad face appeared.It said that my laptop having CRITICAL PROCESS DIED error.After it collected all the data and restarted,this error keep coming to me and i have no idea what's going on.The blue screen keep coming to me just after a few minutes/seconds i restart my laptop. I tried to go into Safe Mode so that i can run a scan or anything.But this is another problem.I can't launch Safe Mode. For your information,i just bought this laptop on March (if i not mistaken).I didn't expect that i'll facing this severe issue just after few months i bought it,not even half a year!Now i can't even backup my files in my laptop due to this Blue Screen problem! Do you have any solution?Do you provide on-site repair service?

I can't use a restore point because my laptop keep showing blue screen.So i tried refreshing my system and it worked.Now my laptop is ok.Thank you. I still have two questions. First of all, now i refresh my system and it restore to original system.If my laptop suggest to update should i update it or not? Second, my apps gone after i refresh the system.Some of my apps such as Art Rage and Autodesk SketchBook can only download once with license, now the apps gone, how can i redownload it?

Lenovo Z50-70 Screen shows white as yellowish

My laptop Z50-70 had one problem with it, since day one: The screen showed the white colour as yellowish. I thought it was something that is common to all such machines, so I compensated it by using Color Management in Windows to decrease yellow's intensity.
There's a yellowish tint to the
Recently I saw a friend's Lenovo Z50-70 without the same yellow tint. As it turns out his screen showed normal white normally. So I chatted with Customer Care and they asked me to send pictures of my screen's white. I did, but they said it's not noticeable.
What should I do?
I have reset my PC, reinstalled all the proper drivers at the right time, and nothing seems to improve.

How is the screen brightness in Windows Safe Mode?
Does the F11 & F12 Hot Keys adjust the brightness? If not, you might consider doing a clean install of the Lenovo Power Management driver. In other words uninstall it, reboot and do a clean install with a fresh copy.
In some respects the Power Management driver does have some influence on screen brightness. Since your problem is somewhat connected to a charging cycling which also falls under the Power Management driver, you might consider doing a clean install of that driver anyways.
Here is a link to the Power Management driver....

hi ashjs,
The Z50-70 uses a 9.0mm ODD. You may be able to get away with a 9.5mm universal HDD caddy but it will be a tight fit.

Thanks for the response, it was the reply I didn't want to hear but was totally expecting.
I have accepted that the only way forward now is a motherboard upgrade.
The downside of this is that I have lost faith in MSI, and while I recognize that the fault here lies with the retailer who sold me this bundle I do not wish to be burned againi.
If anyone can recommend an MSI Motherboard capable of running the FX-6100 for a reasonable price, and can vouch that the throttling does not happen without the need for a third party cooling solution... then I will look into it. If not I have found a Gigabyte branded motherboard capable of 125w CPU's with good reviews for a similar price to the 760GM-P23.

990FXA-GD65 AMD 970 BE CPU Ratio Only working on one core

Pretty much cut & paste of the "990FXA-GD80 AMD 955 BE CPU Ratio Only working on one core" thread.
I have overclocked this AMD 970 BE previously on a asus m3n72-d without issue. Always changing the multiplier to achieve the desired frequency while leaving the FSB at 200. But, after setting up everything on my new 900fxa-gd65 the CPU ratio change to 19x with a fsb of 200 only changes one core to 3.8 ghz and leaves the others at 3.5 ghz (17.5x 200).

Already contacted MSI tech support, for whatever good it does me.
Just thought I'd make a new thread to seperate the issue between the two MSI boards.

For what its worth, the problem should be fixed in the latest BETA UEFI/BIOS Release:

The Lenovo Z50-75 has a faulty display

Hello, I just got back today after picking up a Lenovo Z50-75 laptop. Just after starting it up I upgraded to Windows 10, while I was working. When it finished It started up with my own lock screen wallpaper and I noticed some colour banding issues. I figuired it was a driver problem, and needed to update. This was NOT the case. I was truly sad to see that this laptop suffers from a serious and even more importantly a KNOWN fault. Clearly the display is not accepting 32-bit color and this results in the color banding that was extremely evident on the display. Now the worst part is that Lenovo apprarently do not care about this issue, or for some reason think that tilting a display can affect the color bit, which is ridiculous. I want to make this as clear as possible. Lenovo have not just lost a customer for life, but being apart of the tech industry myself, I get asked a lot on which brand to choose, to which I will always tell people to avoid Lenovo. I should have done better research on this issue before purchasing, but i'm still treuly gobsmacked by Lenovo's repsonse and overall stance on this issue. You actually locked out the original thread about it as well. Your simply disgusting. The laptop has already been packaged up and goes back tomorrow, and like I said before, I will never buy a Lenovo product again, and not because I'm afraid of a fault, but because your support is clearly terrible and you don't make reliable prodcuts. At least not prodcuts your willing to stand by.

Okay, I have done some research on this issue. To be honest, it really got to me how something like this good happen in the first place.
Anyway.
Upon checking out some other color banding causes, I came across other users with HP laptops/tablest that had the exact same issue as described above.
The correlation here is that both devices use two froms of graphics, with an lower spec internal and a higher spec dedicated. Exactly like the above laptop.
It seems the graphics card did not enable dithered mode when signalling the 6-bits with the monitor, which uses this method for true color. A common technique for cheaper panels.
The point being is that this issues is nearly identical with too many correlations to ignore.
The HP laptop issue was solved with a bios update, which means it was a driver issue or technically a bios issue.
Does Lenovo care to comment on this. Since a different manufacturer had the same exact issue, and was able to fix it. It clearly shows that Lenovo were wrong, and really were trying ignore the fault.

My solution (or so I thought) to Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!!

I have found a solution to all my Power Manager/CPU throttling problems!!! Though there is some good and bad news.
{EDIT: The problem has NOT been fixed, even after latest PowerManager (3.62) and BIOS (1.30) versions. Pretty much ignore anything I say below as the problem is still occurring. You can see my full post here: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W520-Speedstep-not-working-properly-on-battery-...}
Good news: I have NONE of the throttling issues or inconsistent CPU frequency problems I was having before on AC or battery power. Everything, including TurboBoost on battery works! It is completely fixed! (I have no idea how this factors into Lenovo’s statements that TurboBoost is disabled on battery “by design”. There is at least one other post from someone else that also reported TurboBoost was working for them on battery)
Bad news: I don’t really know which one of the many things I tried actually worked. I am sorry I wasn’t more methodical about recording what I did and checking results, but this was my last ditch effort to get this fixed on my own without sending the system in for repair and frankly, I didn’t think it would work. Now that it has worked, I’m hoping my steps can help others.
For anyone interested, here’s what I did… and before anyone says something like “That has nothing to do with managing power/cpu, why would that help?!… etc., please keep in mind I’m just stating exactly what I did. I am aware some of the steps may not be relevant, but who knows… We all know how weird PC’s are sometimes, even the smallest, oddest thing may resolve a problem.So anyway, here goes.
**IMPORTANT** Not sure how many noticed, but there was a new version of Power Manager released a few weeks ago, 3.62. The PM driver seems to have stayed the same. That alone could very well be the sole fix, I’m not sure. You may just want to completely remove PM and PM driver and install the latest version before trying any of the steps below.
1)Made a complete system image via Windows built-in backup feature
2)Disable any 3rd party fan/CPU control utilities (Throttlestop, etc). Make sure they are also not going to run at startup or from a scheduled task
3)Remove Power Manager Driver, then remove Power Manager software
4)Reboot to Windows
5)Remove all traces of the Power Manager drivers/software directories (think it was something like C:\readyapps and C:\drivers.) **For some odd reason after I did this, my wireless stopped working but it resolved itself by the time I was done with these steps, strange
6)Reboot
7)Access BIOS and reset all settings to default
8)Boot into Windows, downgrade to BIOS 1.25 [UEFI: 1.25 - 8BET44WW / ECP: 1.14 8AHT32WW ] via the Windows flash utility. I wanted to downgrade all the way back to 1.06, but the software would throw up some error for any version prior to 1.25 and wouldn’t proceed
9)Reboot to Windows; make sure system booted w/ out issues
10)Reboot again, access BIOS, reset to defaults again
11)Shut down system
12)Disconnect AC power. Remove main battery. Access and disconnect system backup (a.k.a CMOS) battery under keyboard. Discharge residual power in the system (there are various ways to do this, but you could just leave the battery disconnected for a few minutes). Visually inspect the system for anything funky…my system had a slightly but noticeably loose CPU/GPU heat sink/fan assembly power connector.
13)Reconnect backup battery.
14)Reconnect AC power but leave main battery disconnected.
15)Power on. Should get a message indicating “checksum error, system time reset” or something like that.
16)Reboot to Windows. Verified still okay.
17)Downloaded latest BIOS version, 1.26. This time I burned the bootable BIOS flash CD instead of running it through Windows.
18)Restart and boot from disc, flash BIOS to 1.26. Once complete, restart. Verify BIOS set to defaults.
19)Boot back into Windows.
20)Install latest Power Manager driver (1.62 ), reboot if/as prompted. Install Power Manager (3.62), reboot as prompted.
21)Boot into Windows, verified Power Manager was active and working. Verified TurboBoost was working. Restarted system a few times and played around with Power Manager for a bit to see if the different power plans worked and retained the settings, all the while monitoring the Intel TurboBoost utility and PM’s own “power gauges”. Let system Sleep, changed power sources, resumed, etc. Everything was working great.
22)Shutdown, reconnect main battery. Booted into Windows. Again, fiddled with Power Manager for a bit, switching between power plans and AC/battery power. Still worked great.
23)Success!
That’s it. Again, this is not a guaranteed fix guide. These are just simply the steps that I took on my system that resolved the problems many of us are having. Hopefully it will work for others.

Now, I did chipset first (didnt ask to reboot) then installed the PM driver (did ask to reboot)
I rebooted.... then I went into bios (1.26) and set everything to default... then restarted saving changes...
Since I prefer not using optimus I changed the display settings in bios right after saving the default settings...
Not sure whether or not you really had to go into bios... but everything seems to be working...
My settings in PM is set to Maximum Power in the Advanced tab, 3rd party monitoring tools is TPFanControl and HWInfo64....

Did Lenovo cripple my processor to fix an overheating problem? Screenshots included.

I have an X61s which was suffering from a hot right palmrest and an overheating issue where the system would shut itself off after a few minutes of high CPU load. I sent the system in for depot repair. According to one of the Lenovo techs I spoke with today, they replaced the wireless card (known source of right palmrest heat) and a fan - but I'm beginning to think that's not all they did to solve the overheating problem, at least as far as it pertained to the CPU and the system shutting off.
The CPU is a 1.6GHz processor. After the system was returned to me, I sensed that it was running slower than before. I performed a test using Orthos and the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool to monitor CPU frequency. Sure enough, as the attached image shows, even with the Power Profile set at High performance, the processor was maxing out at 1200MHz under full load, 75% of it's 1600MHz maximum.
Screenshot
I installed RightMark CPU Clock Utility, which includes a CPU frequency monitoring function. It too reported the CPU frequency at 1200MHz. HOWEVER, when I changed the RightMark profile to Maximal Performance, the CPU frequency did hit 1600MHz as shown by RightMark's monitor and Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool. Suspecting maybe this was just a reporting error and my CPU was actually running at 1600MHz despite Intel's tool saying 1200MHz, I tested each with Prime95's benchmark function.
CPU Benchmark without RightMark (1.2GHz) - 1792K FFT length best time = 65.751
CPU Benchmark with RightMark (1.6GHZ) - 1792K FFT length best time = 106.146 ms
Clearly there is a real difference in speed here, not just a CPU frequency reporting discrepancy.
Given the fact that RightMark is able to bypass the default processor settings, which is what allows you to use it to undervolt a processor, it's not a surprise to me that it would be able to run the processor at it's native maximum speed of 1.6Ghz, where otherwise my processor seems to be somehow limited to 1.2GHz regardless of which power profile I've selected: I've tried High Performance, Maximum Performance and others, and have verified that the maximum processor state in each is set to 100%, yet still the CPU frequency is at 1.2GHz.
When I sent this machine in for repair, I removed the hard drive - so whatever the Lenovo Depot did (assuming that they did do something to my processor) could not have affected the OS or other software on my system. I did notice that RightMark seems to have "lost" it's previous settings, which may suggest that Lenovo replaced the CPU or motherboard and RightMark reset itself having detected a new processor.
Note that BIOS settings are all set to enable Maximum Performance (though I believe Windows bypasses these settings anyway), SpeedStep enabled and the other key CPU setting enabled (which I forget right now and don't want to reboot to check my BIOS for the name).
I've called and spoken with 3 different people at Lenovo about this and none were of any help other than suggesting I start a new case and have my laptop shipped back in - but before I do that, I want to get to the bottom of this. If Lenovo intentionally crippled my machine to "solve" a hardware problem - and without notifying me, no less, then I am far from a happy customer.
So, please provide any input if you have any. Is it possible that Lenovo did something to either the CPU or the BIOS to limit the CPU speed to 1.2GHz? Or is this just a crazy conspiracy theory? Has anyone else had overheating issues and noticed their laptop running more slowly after it's been fixed?

Hello kctopitz,
please install your battery and plug in AC. Without battery, plugged into the wall, you´ll never reveive the full power.
I would then suggest to measure the CPU clock with Everest, you can download it as a trial.

but when you try to startup normal it's connstantly restart by it self.

in safe mode works perfectly,soon as I try to boot in normal mode it's keep restarting.on screen I don't see any line vertical or horizontal picture look normal on safe mode.but unable to start normal it just restarting over and over.I try another HDD but same things happen,I replace memory but still same.works ok in safe mode but not in normal mode.I will try to post system error report.

A bad experience with Lenovo repair service...got more problems now than when I brought it in

Paragraphs with ** may be skipped if you just want the short and sweet version:
**I bought my X61 in April 2008 and everything was great. I loved the laptop except for one thing: it had an extremely tight PC slot (although it was completely functional). I had a difficult time inserting my PCMCIA soundblaster sound card and removing it was even more difficult. I literally had to brace the laptop between my left arm and chest and manually pull the card out because it was so tight. I am an university student so I did not have time to deal with that problem because it was during final exams. I finally found some time recently to bring my laptop for repair. I called Lenovo and they recommended me to bring it in to my city's authorized business partner repair shop because they said it would be faster. So that is what I did. It turns out that they have to replace the system board because the PCMCIA slot was attached to it. In the end it took 3 trips (30 min drive each way) over a span of 2 weeks before I actually got my laptop fixed because the system board was backordered. Finally 2 days ago I got my laptop back and indeed, the PCMCIA slot is not tight anymore...yay! And that was when all the trouble started:
After bringing it home, I started to find more problems with the laptop than before I brought it in:
First thing I did was try to reactivate the TPM chip but it turns out that the TPM chip already had an owner. I found that strange and tried my previous passwords and none worked.
I can no longer output my display to my external LCD monitor. It doesn't work regardless of whether I plug the VGA cable directly to the laptop or via the Ultrabase 6. I know it's the not the cable because it works with my older laptop. I spent countless hours trying to figure this out and uninstalled and reinstalled several versions of Intel X3100 video driver as well as Thinkvantage Presentation Director. Even during boot-up it does not show up on my external monitor.
The Bios date/time and other settings get reset each time the external power is lost (e.g. remove battery or unplugging AC). This usually indicate that the computer CMOS battery is dead or bad.
From the above problems, I can only conclude that Lenovo sent a used defective system board. There could be other problems that I don't know about yet.
Initially I had tried to call Lenovo technical support (3x) and they were next to useless. The first time I called, the technician pretty much blew me off telling me that they can't help me and told me to search Lenovo support page for the answers to my problems. I couldn't believe it! Furthermore, I wanted to know how I can reset the TPM password and the first rep told me that that they would need to charge me for walking me through the steps. (in the end I figured it out on my own)
I am very dissatisfied with how things turned out. I know I now have to get my system board replaced again but this has been way more trouble than it is worth. I had spent many hours driving back and forth to the repair depot and even more hours troubleshooting the problem on my own because Lenovo support couldn't help me. It has completely destroyed my confidence in Lenovo. How can they be doing repairs with defective used parts??? What options do I have?

Tallshorty,
Wow! Apologies for such an experience. First, could you send me a PM with your contact information, your system model & serial #, and your service case number(s) if you have them handy? I will ensure you get some help.
Secondly, service parts may be new or refurbished. - Sorry to hear about this TPM problem - we can look into the process to ensure this is tested for, and ensure this does not happen, although it sounds like you've solved this part.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Mark
