Screen freezing on T410 - CAD environment

I have problems with screen freezing in SolidWorks on my ThinkPad T410. I am using external monitor with video signal on “Projector only”. It is connected through docking station to monitor with DVI type plug. Screen inside the SolidWorks window (working space) stopping to react then  3d-model or draft open. Everything else is active and accessible outside the CAD window in Windows environment.
I am switching the graphics to “Disconnect projector” mode to show the screen into ThinkPad LCD only. Then I am “Restore” the SolidWorks window and “Maximize” to full screen again. Then I can see the working space of SolidWorks. Switching back to “Projector” mode making this screen visible onto Monitor too.
So, I am really tired doing this last three months. Any suggestions?
I tried to play with settings of NVIDIA Control Panel (I have NVIDIA NVS 3100M) . I tried to change the cable to D-SUB type cable and adjust the settings of Intel video too. It does not help!
Windows 7 Professional
i7 CPU M 620 @ 2.67GHz
4.00 GB RAM
64-bit OS
Lenovo ThinkPad 410
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for the tip! This helps!
I changed settings for gpu in BIOS: Config/Display/Graphics Device to [Discrete Graphics] and /OS Detection for NVIDIA Optimus to [Disabled]
Thanks!

  • T410 random beep sound( from machine for less than 5 mins) + screen freeze + Blue Screen (some time)

    I have new purchased T410 during christmas time.
    here is my machine spec(everything from Levono, did not upgrade any parts):
    T410, model 2516CTO
    8 GB RAM
    i7 CPU
    500GB HDD
    Integried graphic card
    Windows 7 professional (applied all latest updates)
    Problem random happen, for about 8 times,
    System works regularly
    and all of sudden machine make continousely "beep" sound(from machine, not speaker),
    after that screen freeze,
    and then sometime system go back to normal, sometime crash completely to blue screen(most time).
    The whole problem takes about 3-5 mins.
    1 time it even happen in safe mode (after log in, desktop freezed immediately, then blue screen).
    I chkdsk the whole disk found no problem.
    I call Lenovo tech support, he ask me restore the original OS(Windows 7 home prim), then he can help me.
    I refused because that's mean i have to destroy all the work I done (spend almost a week to install development tools and software) .
    Since the problem is random anyway, I just reboot and bakeup more offen. :-(
    I used Thinkpad since IBM time, never have problem with previous 2 T Series machines, but this one, not happy.

  • BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when unplugged, Splash screen freeze, HEAT-UP TO BOOT

    BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-powe
    Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
    How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power.
    I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears, and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine.
    Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling, so I'm putting 2 together.
    Errors:
    I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B. I ended up changing a setting in BIOS from AHCI to Compatibility Mode, and I passed everything without the BSOD again. I have always had it on AHCI.
    I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
    BIOS:
    Also, the time was set to 1988 or something in the BIOS.
    Event Viewer events found:
    1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
    There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
    "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
    "The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
    3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
    "LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
    I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the driver wasnt made for the system, or that it wasnt compatible or something, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish after install. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine oddly. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on. No problem at all.
         MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
    What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

    I'd beg to differ on both accounts.
    *61 series nVidia-based ThinkPads from late January through July of 2008 are a 50/50 shot, since the old chips were mixed with the new ones. Any machine built in August and later can be deemed "safe".
    As for the forums (I don't do feebay) there are people who sell genuine, properly-tested planars. However, these do not come at bargain basement prices, and with a good reason if I may add.
    Good luck.

  • Temperature and Fan speed? screen freeze

    I Have 2011 MacBook Pro 13inch . I was having the screen freeze issue from a hot graphics card it cpu that so many others have with this year macbook. After a night of playing videos (not realizing it was in loop) connected to my hd tv using thunderbolt. After the first one it happened a few more time after playing any video for a few minutes. Screen freeze with little pixelated boxes, yellow or blue. After some research I reset SMC and seems sit of fixed it. I am not running SMC FAN AND Temperature Monitor apps and my fans run about 2000 all the time. When I get hit it speeds up but not to much, seems on point. Except when I play hd videos the system get gets to 75-80c . I still have not had the freeze but that's because I have temperature monitor to launch SMC fan set at max fan speed when it get a to 80 d
    Degrees C.  I'm wondering if anyone knows the safe temp the 2011 MacBook Pro should be running at When playing hd video. I know it gets hotter when playing hd video by without SMC it seems my fans don't kick on to max speed untill the MacBook reached about 85-90c. Once the fans max it cools it right away. I know the fans are working cause I hear them but should the fans kick on faster before it gets to that hot if a temp. And is it safe to play hd movies of its running at about 80-85c?
    Thank you for any information you might have on safe and average temp and fan speeds. If anyone has a macbook pro please let me know when your playing hd video for about a half hour or more how hot your cpu is showing.

    Macs have established a reputation for being inferior game machines.  PC's dominate that area and if that is a high priority, I always recommend a PC.

    I doubt that you almost' fried' the logic board, but you may have approached thermal shutdown.
    I also have a 2011 MBP and have run applications that are CPU/GPU intensive with no issues (the MBP certainly does heat up and gets very warm).  I have never felt the need for a third party fan control. 
    If you wish to run games a lot, a cooling pad and a cool environment would help the situation.

  • Random screen Freeze, but mouse is responsive

    Hi,
    For the last month, I have been having random screen freezes , requiring me to hard-boot the computer. During this freeze the mouse is responsive. I wait 15 minutes to see if the freeze goes away before rebooting.
    I have re-formatted the disk and installed Mountain Lion, again , but it did not help. Most of the time it seemed to happen when I am using Safari, but this is not always the case.
    The hardware tests came clean.
    I have isolated the console logs to the following just before the issue happens. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

  • Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

    Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
    - I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
    - My outlook express has no problems
    - other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
    - my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
    - every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
    I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

    Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

  • When I go to a website, it half-way downloads and then the screen freezes for 10-20 seconds while ads appear; this never happened till recently.

    Until recently, I loved Firefox. Lately, when I go to any website and try to download a page, the screen freezes for between 10-20 seconds while ads load. Why the screen freezes is both frustrating and annoying. I have the latest version, nothing on my computer is different, and as I said, it didn't used to do this. Any ideas what's going on?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Someone please help me! I live in Turkey and bought my iMac desktop in February. The dealer kept the recovery discs and won't send them. My screen freezes seconds after opening and I can't figure out how to repair it myself. Please help!

    I was deleting photos when the screen froze and I had to shut down the computer manually. Now after the first minute of being turned on the screen freezes and the mouse arrow goes into that rainbow whirling disc and won't stop no matter how long I let it go. My keyboard is Turkish. My keys are not marked the same as an English one is, further complicating resolving the problem.
    The dealer I bought it from doesn't speak English and wants to charge me for repairs. I refuse to pack the computer up and ship it UPS out of town for a repair I can do plus pay for shipping.
    When I received my computer I was only given the manual and no system restore discs for situations such as this. I asked where they were and was told there were none.
    I suspect this is a tactic to make money on bogus tech repairs off their customers. To purchase new discs, if I can find them, can cost from $30-$40 - the dealer more than likely is re-selling the discs at 100% profit. This is Cizgili Apple Store in Adana, Turkey. I wish to report them. It is a national company too. I don't have a receipt handy, but have an emailed receipt. I can't get my computer's number to get further assistance on the Apple website withput it.
    I was a dedicated Windows customer until I started doing desk top publishing. I'm fighting the urge not to regret buying this computer.   

    1-800-676-2775  apple support   tech support 1 800 275 2273
    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck

  • Mac Pro Screen Freezing Issue with NVIDIA 8800 GT too

    There were lots of entry in threads, where the screen freezing issue was described (disorted screen with strange lines, only reboot helps). Nearly all cases seem to be related to the ATI 2600 card.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358062&tstart=30
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365277&tstart=0
    I opened this new thread to show, that this problems occurs not only for the ATI card but for the NVIDIA 8800 card, too.
    My MacPro was delivered 8 days ago and was running without any problems. But all of a sudden, I got that screen freeze. And it wasn't the first time, I was heavely working 2-3 hours with that computer.
    In total, 2 screen freezes showed on my computer. The first one during working with the computer. The second one during booting into MacOS X. The screen freeze occured during the boot phase with the grey screen and the spinning wheel.
    My configuration:
    MacPro 2.8, Dual Quad Core
    6 GB RAM
    3 harddisks, 1 standard from Apple, 2 Samsung with 750GB
    MacOS 10.5.2
    Formac 20" Monitor
    Perhaps others have this problem, too? Than we should emphasize, that this is not an ATI related problem.

    I've actually been having the freezing issue for a while now but I didn't have the know-how to troubleshoot it (PC tech trying to support the only Mac lab in the building).
    MacPro will freeze randomly (no trend in time, system strain, or open programs). The mouse will operate but will not interact with anything.
    Specs:
    MacPro - Model 1,1
    Dual Core Xeon 2.66
    2gb RAM
    nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
    Mac OS 10.4.11
    The machine always has 2 displays connected to it so the workaround that was discussed for the ATI 2600 doesn't apply. I had 1 display connected here in my shop and it froze for that as well.

  • BLACK SCREEN on start up with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-power

    Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
    How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any
    cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power. 
    I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears,
    and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After
    about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine. 
    Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling,
    so I'm putting 2 together.
           Errors:
    I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B.
    I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
           Event Viewer events found:
    1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
    There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
    "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
    "The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
    3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
    "LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
    I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the
    driver wasnt for the system, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on.
                 MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change
    this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
    What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?
    SYSTEM INFO:

    Please excuse the small text at the beginning, there isn't an option to un-do that error.

    You are very wrong about that mystified. What do YOU think made my computer work without beeping at all hu? (I bet you're gonna tell me). I figured it out.
    RE-INSTALL WINDOWS 7 OS.
    SOLVED.
    DOESN'T BEEP ANY MORE.
    THAT IS A PART OF microsoft ISN'T IT.

  • How can I fix problem of Screen freezing in Fullscreen view display.

    Click Vie , Full Screen. Have multiple tabs open. Screen freezes. Prompting does not drop the tabs back down to switch pages etc. Happens randomly, several times a day, since upgrade to Firefix 9. Prior to that I never had an issue with the Full screen feature and used it ALL the time. Please help.I do not want to lose this feature!!!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • While using Skype on my mac pro the screen freezes and splits in two and the left hand side shifts to the right and the right shifts to the left with a large black block down the centre, should I take it back to store as it is only a month old??

    I have only had my mac one month and it seems while I use Skype the screen freezes and I cant click on anything and everything on the right hand side of the screen shifts to the left and the left to the right with a back block down the centre and sometimes lines running down the screen over all. As it is almost brand new should I be going back to store to get this problem fixed??

    Yes.  You are still under warranty.  Why waste it?
