Satellite A50 1.6Ghz cpu only running at 598Mhz

I have a friends satellite A50 here, he said it was running slow!
XP reports the cpu @ 598Mhz, Everest reports that multiplier @ 6 X 100Mhz.
Could someone please explain how I can get this laptop up to speed?
I have found other people with the same problem but cannot seem to find a solution .. :(
Any help would be much appreciated :)

> I have found other people with the same problem but cannot seem to find a solution
Please use search option on this forum and you will find enough topics with very precise explanation why the notebook runs on 598 MHz only.
I can say just one thing: it can not be that notebook runs like this from the first day. If your friend sold you this notebook he conceals something from you. Anyway contact nearest service partner in your country and they can fix this for you.

  • Z60m 2531 cpu only running at 798mhz?

    Hi,
    Had my Z60m from new for about 5 years, today however I upgraded the ram to 2 gig. Just to check it I installed cpu-z and found the ram is fine but the processor is only running at 798 MHz. It is a intel pentium M 760 2.00GHZ. I have tried to find settings in the bios to address this but cant find anything other than the speed step stuff. The Multiplier is x6.0, bus speed 133.0 MHz, rated FSB 532.0MHz and core VID is 0.988v. Anyone know how to make the cpu run at its rated speed?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    The CPU will run at full speed only when sufficiently loaded, what you're seeing is Intel SpeedStep Technology at its very best.
    Open up 30 Firefox windows, and watch a youtube video on the 31st, you'll see that processor fly up to 1998Mhz in no time...
    Good luck.

  • Portege M100 with PM 1,2 processors, but only run on 598MHz

    Please help, I have 10 pcs M100, and 7 of them have no setting in Bios for "CPU Dynamic Frequencies Setting" (set the CPU speed, always low, always high, dynamic). The notebook that don't have that setting always run at 598 MHz. I already check with Sisoft Sandra and in windows system properties. The properties always show that the notebooks have Pentium-M 1,2GHz running at 598MHz. No different between running with ac adapter or battery.
    The other one with the CPU Dynamic Frequencies Setting, can dynamically adjust the CPU clock. They can run at 1200MHz normally.

    Hi
    The Dynamic CPU Frequency mode is available in the Toshiba HWSetup.
    There you can switch between the dynamically switchable mode, always high and always low mode.
    Please check it!

  • 2.53Ghz CPU not running at stock in Macbook Pro?

    Hey Guys - dumb question, but I added a Windows XP partition on my MBP (running bootcamp). My version has the 2.53Ghz cpu, but when looking at the frequency it is running at in xp, I see it only hitting 1.6Ghz?
    In the Properties for My Computer, it shows the right CPU, the right intended spec (2.53Ghz), and then the running frequency (1.6Ghz).
    Now, I must admit that I am new to notebooks in general, so I am not sure if there are some other settings I need to consider to get the CPU to run at stock.
    Message was edited by: Sammy5gs

    The Intel T9400 2.53Ghz CPU has a very intuitive feature called SpeedStep. This automatically lowers the voltage and clock speed of your CPU when the CPU load is relatively load, to reduce power consumption. As the CPU load increases (running something more intensive), SpeedStep automatically rises the clock speed together with the CPU voltage, to maximise performance.
    Just to put you in the picture. When surfing the web (non-flash sites), the CPU's clock is decreased (therefore decreasing power consumption, which results in more battery life), but when you are playing a game, the CPU's clock is pushed to its default (in your case 2.53Ghz), but decreasing battery life.
    If you are not convinced with this explanation, try playing a video on youtube, or do something more CPU intensive and recheck the CPU frequency.
    Hope this helps

  • How do i get the CPU to run at full speed steadily?

    how may I get the S10's CPU to run at the full speed (near 1.6GHz) steadily?
    since the power scheme's fixed to be "Lenovo" and is only adjustable through its own energy management
    I'm not able to set the power scheme as "Always On" like how I may do with other laptops
    I tried changing every option possible and found no way I could stop the CPU from constantly reducing its speed to half
    it keeps going back and forth between 1.6 & 0.8 GHz 
    how may I possibly get this fixed up? 
    I'd like to have my CPU always run at the full speed when plugged in 
    thanks a lot

    thanks
    but i've tried adjusting the frequency too
    it is set to the highest frequency by default and still isn't stable
    what program do u use? try cpuz, www.cpuid.com
    EDIT: i also want to ask, why do u want to lock the cpu to 1.6ghz? it will not make any noticable difference in performance, will just keep the vcore high, resulting in high temps, and louder fan..

  • Satellite A50-543 - What is correct BIOS?

    hi
    My friend has a a Satellite laptop and the internal CD drive is broken and as her Windows had a virus and has been exhibiting strange behaviour I'd like to clean install XP. The current BIOS ver 1.2 doesn't support booting from USB CD-ROM drives. In the support section I found a bios ver 1.4 which says in the description 'This Bios Update adds increased functionality to your system.', not very helpful.
    The bios file is called bios-20070808112012.zip for Satellite model:A50, short model no.:PSA50E.
    I know this is probably a redundant question but just to be sure can I be sure this is the correct BIOS as I'm not overly familiar with Toshiba's naming scheme.
    cheers
    damole

    Hey damole,
    If you did find this BIOS on the Toshiba website for your notebook model its the correct version. I mean why should Toshiba release a wrong BIOS that doesnt work?
    But I have a little bit searched using Google and I think its not possible to boot from USB also with new BIOS version. This is only possible on new notebooks and Satellite A50 is pretty old so I think in this case you have to replace the CD/DVD drive. Maybe you can get a second hand one from eBay that is cheap.
    But if you install XP from a Microsoft disk a CD/DVD drive isnt necessary. Copy the whole i386 folder on the HDD and start the WINNT.exe file.

  • Which battery packs are compatible to the one in Satellite A50-110?

    Dear all,
    I have a Satellita SA50-110 and realise that I need to urgently replace the battery pack, and of course I would like to upgrade, if I already have to invest, from 4400mAh to maybe 6600 or even 8800mAh. However, when I browse the various online shops, I can not find any offers for my Laptop model SA50-110, which appears to be somewhat exotic for some reason unknown to me. Instead, I find lots of offers for other models, like for the SA50-100 or -105.
    If I search for the battery specification (PA3356U-2BRS), I have similar problems finding a proper replacement.
    Can somebody help me here? Can I buy e.g. the battery pack for a 100, will that fit to the 110? The thumbnails I found look quite promising, but of course I can't rely on that impression.
    Can I find somewhere out there a listing on which battery packs are compatible to PA3356U-2BRS?
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can point me to an appropriate link.
    Cheers,
    fipps123

    Hello
    You don't have exotic notebook but the model description is not SA50 but Satellite A50. To find info about compatible options is very easy and you can get it in one minute only.
    Please visit http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services > Options & Accessories > Options and Accessories Home Page. There you can select your notebook model Satellite A50-110 and see all power options with full list of all compatible batteries.

  • Memory only runs at 2T

    My Corsair 1GB (2x512) Value memory only runs at 2T. This is the setting that comes up in AUTO. I tried going manual and setting it to 1T but the system froze and wouldn't boot then, I had to clear the bios and start over. I don't have any experience with overclocking, but thought it should be running at 1T. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    About 1T/2T:
    Quote
    Hello,
    1T and 2T Command Rate, also known as CPC or Command Per Clock, is a motherboard timing not a memory timing. 1T/2T commands indicate how the system clocks are allocating the timings of a command to the system. 1T = 1 clock cycle and 2T = 2 clock cycles.
    On average there may be a performance difference in between 7-10% (depending on who you talk to, platform being run, benchmark used, etc)
    1T/2T Command Rates can be setup differently based on manufacture, motherboard, processor type (Intel Vs. AMD) etc. At higher speeds, drivers, board layouts, chipset requirements all can add up to the system performance overall. Changing the 1T to a 2T command rate can stabilize the system if issues arise.
    Since 1T-2T command rates are not a memory specification, Crucial does not list this as part of our overall module specification.

  • Satellite A50 - Can I put in another HDD?

    I have Toshiba Satellite A50-110. My hard disk is broken.
    Can I put HDD 2.5" PATA 0160 GB WD Scorpio Blue, 5400rpm, 8MB, WD1600BEVE instead old one?

    Hello
    First of all you need a need a 2.5 notebook HDD with PATA or lets say IDE interface. If I understand your posting correctly you want to use a 160GB model.
    As far as I know Satellite A50 has a 28bit LBA limitation. That means you can only use HDDs up to 120GB.
    So you should check the HDD controller which LBA limitation it has.
    Is 120GB HDD enough for you?

  • Satellite A50: Modem disappeared

    Hi there,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A50 which worked fine for about 8 months now. Last week when I tried to connect to the interned via the internal modem, I suddenly got no response.
    Since then, the modem does not appear in the hardware manager of WinXP any more (not even in the ?-category as "not recongnised hardware". In the Dial-in Configuration that I used so far it shows as "(removed)".
    I already tried to reinstall the driver several times - the one I received on the tools CD-ROM as well as the new one from the Toshiba-Website. I also made a full recovery of Windows via the two CD's I received with the Notebook. Still the modem does not want to come back.
    To me this clearly seems to be a hardware problem, but in case anyone here has another suggestion I would be very happy to hear it before I have to give my computer away for repairs.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi,
    I think you are right. If you made a whole system recovery, it's not possible that it is a software problem. I think your only chance is to take it to service.

  • Satellite A50: What HDD are supported

    Hello,
    my hard disk seems to be broken and i would like to change it.
    Which hard disk can i use for my Toshiba Satellite Serie A 50 ?
    The old one was around 60 GB.
    Is it difficult to change the notebook hard disk ? I have experiences with
    PCs but not with Notebooks.
    Which one (hard disk) should I buy ?
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Hi
    Im a owner of the Satellite A50. Its a little bit old unit but I used it only as a backup and second notebook.
    Anyway, I have upgraded the notebook with the 100GB HDD!!! It works!
    So I assume you can also use a 100GB HDD but please take a look on the HDD interface.
    Its important that the HDD supports the right interface. In my knowledge the HDD should supports enhanced IDE (ATA-6) interface!

  • Only runs with "optimized" settings

    Hi All,
       I have a 1GB kit of dual channel Mushkin Blue PC3200 installed on my K7N2 Delta2-LSR. Everything runs great except for when I attempt to change the memory settings to something other than "Optimized". The computer will then lock up while XP Home Edition is loading. Memtest shows no problems with the memory. I have a Athlon XP 3200+ and an Antec SL400 power supply. Right now the memory is set up in a standard configuration and NOT in dual channel. CPU voltage is set to 1.65v and the memory is set to 2.6v. Other than this small snafu the system runs great. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
