T22 CPU Speed Change Automatically in Windows XP

Dear All,
I am using IBM Thinkpad T22 Type 2647, I am facing problem of CPU speed. My Actuall CPU is 900 Mhz, but it changes automatically to 400, 450, upto 896Mhz. Every time i start my laptop it shows different Mhz in the XP. In BIOS it remains constant 900Mhz. I Reinstall Windows XP Home Edition but problem remains. Kindly Guide me in this regards, I will be very thankfull to you all pplz.
Thanks & Regads,
Suleman Khalil

Welcome to the forum!
Your T22 is behaving normally, what you're seeing is SpeedStep in action. This can be disabled in BIOS under power management.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

T500 Intel Wifi 5350 is unable to connect automatically with Windows 8.1

Hello, I have searched the forums to see if there is a similar problem like the one I am having, but, did not come across. I bought my T500 in 2009 with XP installed. I have recently installed Windows 8.1 and started to experience problems with my Intel Wifi 5350. Upon restart, the driver is unable to connect to my home wifi. In order to connect, I need to go through trouble shooting and reset the wifi link, which, then, fixes the problem. When I first installed Windows 8.1, I did not have this problem. It seemed to have happened after a few auto updates.
The driver software I have is 13.3.0.137 with a date of 8/15/2010. Driver provider is Microsoft.
I downloaded but not yet installed Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Windows 8.1 Wireless_17.1.0_De164.exe. I am not sure if this will fix it. I wanted to ask this first before I do something. If you have had this before or know the answer, could you please post specific links to which drivers I should install manually? Thanks! I appreciate if you could be specific in your responses as I am not super tech savvy.

When I press Fn+F5 I get the charms bar as attached in my 1st post, but not a popup

Is there any API or Property Node that gives the CPU Speed.

I want to get the information about CPU Speed, RAM, Harddisk and OS installed on the system through LabVIEW.
Are there APIs that give this information.

take a look at windows scripting. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_cpm_ciwz.mspx?mfr=true
attached are some zip files that show how to read info with .vbs script files. Change the file paths to point where you downloaded the files.
Another alternative is to use .NET stuff, but I haven't taken the time to figure out how to use it yet.

Re: helix CPU speed stuck at low clock speed

Admin edit - Reorganizing this thread slightly as we are actively investigating the symptoms being discussed here. Several different low end clock speeds of 600-800mhz are being reported capped under a variety of circumstances - sometimes cold boot, sometimes after suspend / resume or dock / undock
motku wrote:
Same here (helix ci7), after suspend and wakeup when CPU slows down ist get stuck at 750MHz and dose not recover untill reboot.
Before the BIOS update I could unplug the AC adapter and work with full speed on battery.
I have the exact same issue. It is quite annoying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Mark, theres more.
I found a "pseudo workaround" of this problem and hope this could lead to the real workaround.
What helped - installing win7, lenovo power manager, change power plan to other and change back to previous)
I tried to do some research and what i found:
In normal Lenovo power manager wheres 2 options in power plan:
System perfomance (Maximum turbo, Turbo, Balanced, Low) (lets call it PERF) and Optimise fan control to (Maximize perfomance, Balance all parameters) (lets call it FCNTL.
In theory FCNTL must control only fans, like table of data cpu temperature/fan speed. But in reality it affects CPU speed.
Only way to make PC always select speed from lowest to highest is to set PERF=Maximum turbo or Turbo, FCNTL=Maximize perfomance.
Lets go through options how they really works in practice:
PERF
Maximum turbo and Turbo are equal, means highest speed for CPU with turbo boost. The level of turbo bust is always maximum, Turbo didnt mean "slow turbo boost".
Low - cpu always at lowest speed 800mhz - thats ok.
Balanced - this option works a little crazy. In some situations it means "maximum cpu till 63C", in some situations it means "lowest speed, temperature doesnt matter. Why is it working in different ways but in same settings i dont know.
In theory Balance is something like "from lowest cpu speed till normal cpu speed, no turbo boost", but it doesnt work like that at all.
FCNTL
Maximize perfomance - in theory it must be "try to keep CPU on lowest temp when high load"
In practice its like "Balanced in PERF" - logic is unknown.
Balanced - the same, logic is unknown.
Unknown really means, that when i, for example, setup PERF=Maximum turbo or turbo and FCNTL to Balanced, sometimes it works in full speed and sometimes not.
Maybe there is logic, but it tottaly unknown to users.
The bad thing is that theres no way i can set mode "always run cpu from lowest speed till highest speed without turbo boost, 800-1800mhz".
By the way, there is some error in Lenovo power manager - when i change options in power plan and click "apply", sometimes they a apply, and sometimes not. If not, i need to select other power plan, and then select the needed one back.
Now about how this all can happend. I'm not shure that i'm right, but logically it is:
In Lenovo power manager theres option called "Optimise fan control to". And, there is NO such option in real windows power plan, so, it can be only changed through Lenovo power manager. As i see, this option affects maximum cpu speed. So, lets say, if this option is "damaged" some way, theres no way it can be fixed in windows 8, because Lenovo power manager for windows 8 has too few options, and native windows power plan editor doesnt have this option at all. So, when i done "something" in Lenovo power manager for windows 8, it changed that setting and all ruined.
Sorry for my bad english once more, hope you can understand what am i trying to say. Looks like we have 1) an error in power manager for win8 and 2) incorrect power option logic, or "specific" logic without a manual.
The strange thing, that in BIOS we have this options too. But changes in BIOS doesnt affect this at all.
P.S. by the way, when i got my helix, dock battery was having "wear level" = 1%. Now, after 6 days (battery info 5 cycles) it has "wear level" = 2%. Is it normal, or battery is bad?

X200: CPU frequency scaling not working in Windows 7 x64

Hi there, this is first posting here. Trust this issue has not been addressed before--if it has please redirect me to the post where this discussion happening.
Here is my hardware: X200, P8700, 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM, 7454-32U
I have just upgraded my RAM from 2GB and clean installed Windows 7 x64 (came with XP x86). I have also loaded all the drivers including the power manager driver and power manager from IBM/Lenovo support/download site. all hardware is working fine.
My only problem is that the fan is always on--running at about 3340RPM and blows all the time--temps are at around 42-46C. I have noticed that the CPU is quite, but firing at max all the time--does not scale down when no activity. tis happens when I select "power source optimized" on battery and on AC.
I have noticed that when in XP 32-bit, the CPU will come back at rest to 786MHz--and go up when needed.
Could someone please help me figure out what is goin gon here? I am so tired of looking and posting on other forums that I am about to go crazy. I love this machine, but my only issue now is this.
I have also checked the BIOS and set the CPU to "automatic" and Speed Step is on. I am using the latest BIOs version v3.11 Dec 2009.
Please help me.
Regards
S

Hi Jessica Thank you for the reply and also pointing me to the Upgrade Advisor links-Here is the output for the 64-bit Windows 7 Compatibility assessment--as you see there are no issues with Hardware compatibility. Also I have downloaded all the applicable drivers from Lenovo. The problem still persists.
if you could link me with the direct access to the power management related drivers from lenovo, ACPI and BIOS drivers I will appreciate a great deal. Also to mention, I have upgraded the BIOS Feb 2010 release, and also the Power manager driver to v3.12 (no fixes in fan speed and CPU freq scaling I am afraid.)

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Causing Jerky Playback with Speed Changes

Here is an Matrox AVI that was captured in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Watching the edited clip with a speed change of 600% looked fine when played in Premiere Pro CS4.
When I export the clip using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 as MPEG2 Blu-ray with a preset of 1440 x 1080i High Quality playback is very jerky. An export of the same clip with normal speed looks great??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Does the iphone cpu frequency change when the cpu load is different?

Does the iphone cpu frequency change when the cpu load is different, or it does not change, stay a fixed frequency? if it changes, how can i get the realtime cpu frequency?if anyone knows,please tell me, thank you so much!!!

As a general, historical statement Tonefox is correct. For certain particular cpus woodmeister is correct. Cpus have historically been single frequency units, though over-clocking has been done for several years. Doing so pushes the cpu beyond its guaranteed speed, but has tended to work since most cpus from quality vendors will actually operate at higher speeds. The manufacturer just does not guarantee the results...remember the Pentium fiasco in the early years of that chip? Today manufacturers are ceertifying particular product lines for over-clocking on a periodic basis. And that is what dynamic clocking really is, over-clocking but not at a constant clock speed as has been done in the past.
Much of the silicon on the market will function at higher clock rates, the only question is does the maker guarantee the accuracy and performance at those clock rates.

T430 CPU speed question

Hi,
I recently bought a T430 advertised as having this cpu:
Intel Core i7-3520M Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz)
However in my control panel the i7 cpu shows up as 2.90 GHz. Can anyone please tell me if there is some option to increase the speed in the BIOS or similar? Many thanks.
Michael.

The CPU can dynamically change speed in order to conserve power. If you have a CPU speed monitor you can see these transitions routinely. Here are some samples showing my T430s (i5-3320M up to 2.60GHz) taken about a minute apart:

Program taking up all of CPU Speed

Hello,
I have been lucky not to have to use the forum, until now. I recently installed a program called Garage Sale. I decided not to use it and deleted it (drug it over to trash from the finder window). Well,(now at least a week later) I turned on my computer this morning and it was running really really slow. I was finally able to get into the activity monitor and was able to find the problem. A piece of Garage Sale was still running (Garagesalehelper) and it was taking up to 65 - 80% of my CPU Speed. How to do I get rid of this thing? Thanks for any and all help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, JoeCat24
To stop the offending process immediately, you can highlight "Garagesalehelper" in the main Activity Monitor window and then click the red "Stop Process" button. However, this fix is only effective until you restart your Mac or the application.
To get permanent relief, you must properly uninstall Garage Sale.. I do not use Garage Sale, so I cannot give you specific, step-by-step instructions. You will need to find the proper uninstall instructions. Some applications come with an uninstaller. Others list all the files that must be removed along with their locations
If you still have the Garage Sale installer or Readme files, check there to see how to properly uninstall. If you do not have this information, you may need to download the installer again to see if uninstall instructions are available there. Sometimes it is simpler to reinstall the application and then use the Help files to find out how to properly uninstall.
If none of those things work, I suggest that you contact the software developer and ask him for instructions on how to uninstall his app.
If this GarageSale is the app causing your problems, the developer offers email support via his "Contact & Support" link.

Changing getImage MTU (receive window)

Hi,
I have an application (snippet below) that receives image, runs fine, but like a dog when the network latency increases.
The issue is the MTU size, as when it is increased (windows reg) the speed dramatically increases. I can see solutions to this issue if I want to send the image over my own sockets, writing a server application as well.
Can I change the MTU/receive window that getImage uses?
URL MyURL = new URL(imgName);
pic=getImage(MyURL );
Tracker.addImage( pic,imgID++);
Tracker.waitForAll();
Thanks
Maddiman

Can I change the MTU/receive window that
getImage uses?No, because getImage() doesn't use an MTU/receive window. It just does I/O via the URL. You can't change the MTU or receive window of a URL either. You can do it for a Socket via Socket.setReceiveBufferSize(), or there are Windows registry tweaks to do it globally. If you're on Windows you should definitely do one or the other because the default of 8k is pathetically small.

Magic trackpad tracking speed changes

My Magic trackpads tracking speed changes to slow when I log off. I have to reset it when I log on.
How do I set the tracking speed to stay put?

If you use MagicPrefs, some people believe that causes the Magic Trackpad to default back to slowest tracking speed on restart/relog. Have a look at the Magic Prefs preferences pane for the Trackpad and see if you can change the default tracking speed in that instead of the System Preferences pane.
If you don't use MagicPrefs, there is a fix using Terminal for the same problem with the Magic Mouse, and it may work for the trackpad too. I'm adapting this from Tyler Nicols' post on his blog.
Open a Terminal Window
Enter the following command to see what your current setting is:
         defaults read -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling
This will return a numeric value. To speed up (or slow down) your mouse tracking, you can simply change this number accordingly by typing the following command, replacing the “your_trackpad_speed” with a new number such as 5.0. Notice that read has been changed to write:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling your_trackpad_speed
So, for example:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling 5.0
You may need to restart your mac to see the changes take effect.
Let me know if it works for you.

Minimum usable CPU speed for Photoshop Elements

It has a CPU described as: A4-5000 APU with Radeon (tm) HD Graphics 1.5 GHz.
Windows 8.1 operating system.
Will I be able to use Photoshop Elements on this?

I know about the min specs. The reason I'm asking if it really checks the CPU speed is I have a school that *is* running Premiere Elements 10 on the exact same hardware. Same CPU. The only difference is the new version I'm trying to install is the volume license version, part of the Adobe Digital School collection. The school that already has it running is using Premiere Elements 10 with either separate licenses or some other license setup. So it doesn't make sense why it worked but doesn't now.
Testing today. On my test PC, a Core 2 6300 XPsp3, the setup would start up OK using the non-VL installer, but fail when I tried to use the setup.exe from the new installer. As far as I know the program is the same, but I don't think I can do the XML customizations needed to do a silent installer on the non volume licensed version of Premiere Elements 10. In short, why does one version of PE 10 install but not the other?

Can Premiere CC Recognize In-Camera Speed Changes ('Ramps')?

I am editing a project shot in 6K with a Red Dragon. We recorded a number of shots with speed changes ('ramps') triggered at specific times IN-CAMERA during the course of the shot. Premiere CC does not seem to recognize the changes - and only plays the clips back at the slower rate. Is there a way to get these ramps back?
Also - on a more basic level, is it possible for Premiere to interpret the relative frame rate of off-speed clips in any kind of specific way? In the project media window, everything displays at the frame rate i've set for the project (23.976) regardless of the frame rate at which a clip was recorded.
Any help is appreciated.
Ryan W.

I thought the idea of a camera ramp was to keep the playback at a set rate so that the motion smoothly went to slow-mo as the camera fps increased. You can interpret the footage to any fps you want, you will get that option if you right click the footage in the project panel.

Cpu speed extremely decrease, presario CQ40-538TU

I have a problems with CQ40-538TU. When using a battery, it have normal speed. But if I am using AC Adapter, cpu speed extremely decrease (use Intel PID-from 2.1 GHz to0.19 GHz). I am using windows 7 home. I use it 1 years. The first problem is, if I connected AC Adapter, the laptop turn off itself within a minutes. So I bring it to service centre. but when it finished, I have second problem. Laptop goes slow if connected AC Adapter while using battery. please, needed advise..Thanks.
sorry if my english bad .

I have tried high performance in power option, but still slow. Batteries / AC Adapter has also been replaced (I bought from the service center in the nearly 2 million rupiahs) is still slow laptop ..

Compressor encoded speed change clip with echo as motorboat sound

Took me two days to troubleshoot, through trial and error and process of elimination, why Compressor encoded an audio clip that had been speed changed and echo applied to it -- as rapid MOTORBOAT sound! Project is a 5.1 mix. Since STP3 won’t accept speed change clips, after I completed mix in STP I placed speed changed clips on FCP timeline below the exported STP 5.1 mix with the FCP audio tracks for that clip assigned to channels 1 & 2 for the fronts and channels 5 & 6 for the rears. The clip on 5 & 6 was duplicated and identical in every way to the clip on channels 1 & 2. Only the dupe clip on 5 & 6 did Compressor encode as motorboat. The identical clip on 1 & 2 encoded correctly. Both clips were set to play at same time since I wanted the effect to be on fronts and rears simultaneously. I could not get the motorboat sound to play back from either FCP timeline or Compressor preview window. Only after encode and burn to DVD did it show up. Why would Compressor introduce such artifacts on one of the clips and not both – if it’s going to do it at all – which it shouldn’t? Any ideas? I have other such effects throughout the project where I duped a speed changed clip with an effect applied to it and set it to play on fronts and rears simultaneously and Compressor encoded those correctly.

Well, it's a little late, but this is one of the reasons to have your startup drive cloned so you can restore it to a working state if an update, upgrade or install sends things south.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2494
Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If this doesn't fix the problem, you could try sending the shot to motion. You could aslo try changing the speed in the motion tab of the viewer.
