T410s Major Fps Lagg Issue

Hello, I have owned my Lenovo T410s for almost 18 months now. Since the moment that I bought this laptop, it has had major FPS lagg problems while running ANY (even small and old) games.
These are the Specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz
RAM: 4GB
64 bit operating system
Basically, when i open any game whatsoever (even browser based java games), and run the game for less than 1-2 minutes, the FPS goes from 50 fps to 1.2-1.5fps (no joke). It stays like this for 30 seconds, before being back to 50fps, but the process repeats every few minutes. I have never been able to solve this problem, and look to this forum for help!
Some other information: When this 'fps lagg' occurs, the CPU jumps from a constant 20-30% to 100% immediately. The laptop also becomes extremely hot, and it will burn you if you touch it for too long. It happens from games such as Counter Strike 1.6 to Skyrim, no matter what game I play, it doesnt work!
I have tried to do extensive research in order to find out why it doesnt work, but I have come up empty handed. I think that the graphics card which I have is NVIDIA NVS 3100M, and it also has Intel(R) HD Graphics above it in the list (sorry i am not very good at computers!)
Edit: I have searched through these forums, and found the following threads which people have posted all with the same problem:

Any help to solve this problem will be muchly appreciated, thank you all

Video lagg issues

I'm not really an expert with after effects. I was able to make my video and render though. Im having lagg issues in cs6 and in my rendered video file. To test if it was the video I used the same footage in iMovie and it worked fine (Mac OS X 10.6.8) Please help

MSI GE620 058 Battlefield 3 random FPS laggs

Hello,
Last year I bought the MSI GE620 058 Gaming laptop,
Specs:
CPU i5 2410M
GPU GT540M
RAM 8GB
I game alot on this laptop but everytime I play Battlefield 3 I get fps laggs, while the auto settings suggest mid - high, I can play with a decent fps for like 15 - 30 seconds but after that I get like 10 - 15 seconds huge fps lagg, It's not playable anymore. Even if I use the lowest settings it's still the same, offcourse i'm not gaming on the battery. Normal FPS: 40-50 FPS lagg: 10-20
I have changed the energy settings but nothing works, I hope that there is a solution to this problem because it's no fun.
Thanks in advance,
Jordi

Oh I think I found it!

FPS / Stuttering Issues (Overheat , Speedstep Issues ? ) MSI GE60 2PE APACHE PRO

**EDIT**
Unable to post direct image links , please ad HTTP:// before links
Good evening Fellow Gamers and Adepts.
I come to you tonight with a serious doubt , which has rattled me for a while , and after some intense troubleshooting i have came up blank.
Here's the deal , as stated , i have a MSI GE60 2PE apache Pro
Now , playing cs go has been the bane of my existence, i am aware there are heating issues with this laptop , but those have been fixed by a Thermal repaste, a cooling pad and the backplate removed.
Now i have no more throttling of CPU , and GPU appears to handle fine aswell; the thing is i keep having MASSIVE lag spikes in CS:GO , and apparently they are being cause by CPU issues.
Image for clarification .
(Standart situation , notice the relative low fps for a old game)
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80
After a few seconds the following occurs
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#1
Notice the fps drop and the CPU frequency percent alert in game
another shot of this in console so you can see the several occurrences
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#2
now keep in mind that these are the lowest game settings, in Fullscreen windowed mode , if i even CONSIDER putting it on standart fullscreen i get unplayable jitterness and fps that range from 10 to 80 , all in a second.
Now , as i have stated i have fooled around and disabled speedstep in the bios , meaning that the cpu is always at 100%, seeing i have removed the backplate , throttling is not an issue as IXT (Intel extreme tuning) can attest.
note aswell the "active core count" spikes to 4/3 in the exact moments of the stutters, meaning that both problems should , in theory , be connected .
Image for reference:

Details of IXT
gyazo.com/1f03a344b9ac2642b1a885ee0a8ea078
can ANYONE give me an ideia of whats going on ? i rather enjoy playing with games with friends , but this is driving me up the wall..
Lastest NVIDIA / Laptop drivers installed ; Bios Updated and EC firmware aswell.
Thank you for your time guys x)

Final cut studio 3 and my mac pro major and unnecessary issues

just a heads up, sorry for my grammar, I have been using final cut pro since it was 3.0 on my old g4 upgraded to every version since. ive edited on final cut pro ruffly 40 hours+ per week since. now i just upgraded to final cut studio 3 about 2 weeks ago and ive been having major issues with speed and freezing and rendering and the new sharing features and motion and everything.
lets start from the beginning.
i have a mac pro 1,1 with dual core intel xeon 2.66 ghz
7 gb of ram
osx 10.5.8 (cant upgrade to snow leopard just yet due to sxs problems and heard its even slower)
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT (thinking may be the culprit)
i have 2 monitors one 22" and my main 24" running both through a dvi cable
now the first hour i started working the computer froze up completely, mouse frozen and everything
(never happened before) after a day of unexpected quits and constant restarts i disconnected my second monitor.
im still having the speed problems sometimes even seeing scrambled images for icons on my os dock. i dont know what to do. ill leave something to render over night, wake up and check on it and the program quit. again. i have a deadline on a video coming very quick, and ive been searching this issue on all the discussion boards here and creative cow and haven't seen an answer yet. spoke to customer support early in the issue and tried everything they said ie: new user, different drive, yada yada yada. the only thing i havent done is reinstall osx and flush my whole computer. im definatly not prepared to do so and then still have the problem. anyway. if anyone can get through this runon of a post please please help im despreate. let me know if you need anymore info and ill be glad to provide it, and if anyone that helps lives in the ny area i would be honored to buy you a drink in return for your support.
thanks for your time.

HOW did you upgrade? Install FCS 3 on top of FCS 2? That is not the best way to do it. Plus some of the issues you are having seem like OS issues. The best thing to do is the "scorched Earth" approach. Fresh install of the OS and fresh install of FCS 3. Always when upgrading this is the best method. And the make sure that you can go back if things don't work is to get a NEW hard drive, install the OS and FCS3 on that, and keep the old drive. Or clone your hard drive (carbon copy cloner), then erase and install. Or at least clone your drive before you update what you have (which is not the best way).
Too late now, I know, but file that away for the future. Now you should backup all your data, then erase and install Leopard again, then install your Apps. This will take a day, maybe a day and a half, and then you will be up and running. Better than trying to stuggle for days or weeks with a staggering OS.

Help needed urgently with two major Logic 9 issues

Dear all,
We've recently migrated from Logic 7 to 9 and have a major album project to finish using a fairly modest tracking setup. We've encountered two major issues that are holding up progress and wondered if anyone here has experienced them and has a solution..?
Our set up is an early 2009 2.93GHz 17" unibody Macbook Pro with a Motu 828mkII Firewire interface. We also have a motu microlite for extra midi.
Firstly, we're trying to track drums from an Elektron MachineDrum. With Logic 7 the MachineDrum's transport controls would control Logic's transport automatically so that we had a clear sync when tracking and could edit sounds and patterns on plus control Logic's transport from the MachineDrum. It also meant that we could drop in parts from song based sequences (of multiple patterns) in the correct position as song pointer information was also received. In the midi synch settings it would automayically jump to "midi clock". In Logic 9 it seems the Midi clock option is gone entirely.
We've also tried with an Elektron MonoMachine and have exactly the same problem. This all worked automatically in Logic 7. These machines have excellent sequencers and are very hands on so it makes it preferable to do it this way. We've spent the afternoon trying to replicate the behaviour of Logic 7 with no joy at all. I should say that Logic is receiving midi information but is not responding to the transport controls. Has this midi clock feature been removed entirely..? It will be a huge disappointment if this vital functionality has been removed as it's crucial to the way we write, sequence and record.
Does anyone have a solution..?
Secondly, there seems to be a major bug with Logic 9 and we frequently have to quit and reboot to overcome it. Namely, certain actions reduce the audio to metal machine noise/ digital breakup bearing no resemblance to what we've recorded. This includes opening two projects simultaneously, dragging any audio from the media bin to the arrange, editing a marker in the list window etc. This has happened about twenty times today doing some light work on a project. We also noticed this intermittently when doing some vocal tracking on Logic 8 at a friends studio.
Has anyone else experienced this? It's a nightmare and means we won't be able to use it reliably live either. Does anyone have a solution?
Many thanks for taking the time to consider this,
JH

Having tried to sync Logic to my LinnDrum back in Logic 7, I can see why they removed it.
It was hideously catastrophic and caused me ages of grief, as the function only really makes sense for MIDI/trigger sequencing.
As I remember it works perfectly well with MIDI only, which is what it was designed for. I've synced Logic via MIDI from a second computer for 20-30 minutes with absolutely no sync problems or drift.
yes, that worked fine.
But then turning around and trying to sync +something else+ to that recording.
Logic never could record tempo variation as a continuous stream, as an analogue tape machine would record a sync signal, so the stepping would inevitably lead to increasing loss of sync, loss of hair, and the desire to break things.
I eventually just set aside that function, with the intention if revisiting in a later, hopefully fixed, version.
And whaddaya know - they fixed it good.

T410 (2522-CTO) - USB issues

Hi, when new my TP had none of the following problems. How do I determine if this is Software or hardware issue ? Then how do I correct it?
Running Win 7 Home Premium SP1
1)plug card reader into usb , plug in SD card. Recognises the devices but when you try to read the contents of the card it takes forever to enumerate the directory contents. When it finally achieves this, trying to open one of the files takes 10's of minutes or a copy operation. The light on the device goes out for minutes then turns on again etc. It is not usable.
2)plug in ipad. Again after several minutes itunes starts but indicates there is no ipad connected. Windows recognises it and I can read and view some of the pictures but that is all. It appears to go through a process of connecting, dropping, reconnecting etc as the explorer pop-up, asking if you want to open file manager or view the picutes etc, opens multiple copies of the dialog and ipad beeps each time (ie indicating it is connected.)
Other USB devices work fine eg memory stick.
I followed the apple article that recommends reinstall of device drivers and of USB drivers. I have tried this to no effect.
Greatly appreciate some advice

hey crash486,
try uninstalling the device drivers and usb drivers. let windows install its own generic drivers.
at the same time, update the bios of yours. currently the t410 runs on version 1.38 .

T410 Extremely Annoying Audio Issues

I've had this laptop for two days now, and I have been experiencing an audio issue that resembles switching between mono and stereo or losing a signal on FM radio (without the white noise, though).
When playing a game like Civilization 4, the audio seems to cut out in one channel or the other (never both). This happens with my headphones and the internal speaker. Updating the audio drivers seemed to make it worse.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Specs:
T410
Core i7 620M
NVS 3100M
4GB RAM
Bluetooth
Lenovo Wireless
WXGA+
128GB SSD

jagger, I went to sound properties and then to the communications tab. From there I saw that there was a setting that reduced volume when the computer thinks communication is going on or something, and I turned that off. It seems to have at least for now fixed my problems.

T410 Screen/graphics issue

Hi!
My T410 has begun acting up a bit. The screen turns itself off after approx. 10 minutes of inactivity, even if my settings have been set to wait longer. This also occurs while viewing movies/shows in VLC, which is highly annoying (having to tap the mousepad every so often. Any tips on how to make it go away?
What I've tried:
- Reinstalling power manager
- Installed newest nVidia Verde drivers
- Updating BIOS
- Checking settings in Windows power manager as well as the ThinkVantage Power Manager
OS is Windows 7 Professional (the issue is not there in Linux (Ubuntu 11.04)).
Any advice appreciated - the issue also occurs when playing games etc., and the screen often flashes several times before "waking up" again.
Thanks!

hey Flim,
since you mentioned Ubuntu 11.04 , did this issue occur before you made your unit into a dual boot or did it happen after your T410 became a dual boot unit ?
currently the bios for your unit is at v1.38 ?
try uninstalling the power manager completely as well as the nvidia drivers and let windows install its generic video driver.

Having some major mac - pc issues using remote workflow

Hi all. I'm having some major issues using the InCopy workflow and was hoping someone could help me out with a few items.
I've helped a client out with their workflow, proposing, demoing and promoting the InCopy workflow which seemed to be the best solution. And don't get me wrong when posting this message on the forum: I love the InCopy workflow and think it's briliant.
The scenario is that a design agency needs to deliver the layout for a big annual report for their client, who then makes changes in the text etc. The design agency is on a mac (ofcourse), but the endclient is on a PC. Now after some training and trying this all works fine. They are using the remote workflow, using icap and idap files (which they place on dropbox for easy transfer)
But they've been having so many issues these last few weeks, it's been crazy. And I'm actually starting to feel a bit uncomfortable every time they call me. Just to make clear, they love InCopy (... when it works). And eventhough I'm a huge supporter of the program I just wanted to make sure if there are any other glitches that I should know about. The thing is that (because I work for an IT company), every time they need support they get billed ofcourse. But the problem is that everytime they run into some kind of problem, production just stops and they need me to fix everything.
Issues that they are having:
- the endclient (so copywriter) works on a project all weekend (an icap file). Saves everything, checks in, closes, goes to bed. Next morning (monday) she opens up the same file to continue working and gets the "cannot recover..." error (see attachment). And she looses her edits. You need to understand that these copywriters really know what they're doing with InCopy.
- when a colleague of hers is working with InCopy, and InCopy crashes and she reopens her file then it also happens that the checked-out stories from before remain checked out and she cannot continue (because the story has already been checked out by "another user" (herself)). I managed to resolve this by opening up the individual icml files in incopy and just closing them again. That seemed to remove the "lock" status of the icmls. But still they need me for support. This also happened in the design agency. They are working on a layout, check out stories, InDesign crashes, reopen file and stories remain checkout and they cannot continue because InDesign thinks that they're checked out to another user. And they do not have InCopy themselves so I cannot use my "open icml in incopy and close"-workaround.
- after a few extra InCopy crashes (where InCopy.exe just doesn't feel like doing anything anymore and quits), I decided to place their files (unpacked icma and icmls from the icap) on the C drive instead of on their server and this seemed to resolve a bit of the trouble. The workflow seems to be a lot more stable now. I did this because they also received the dreaded "Error: code 0" message when starting up (and again) she lost her work). After some creative googling I was able to find out that this might have something to do with disk permissions and copy-paste issues on a PC server. Anyway, it was worth a try
- only yesterday the client called me stating she couldn't start up her icap files anymore. I was able to recover the indiviual icml files and send these back to the design agency and recover part of her work. (after combing out the files I discovered on of the icml files was damaged and could not be opened, that is why opening the icap file failed).
- and one last issue (which isn't really a problem but just a bit of a rant ;-). Why does it take 8 full minutes to open up a 2,6Mb icap file on a fast laptop (from the HD)? Even on my own laptop it takes several minutes? I know that the waiting time has something to do with the complexity of the files (images, how many styles, how many icmls, etc). But it seems ridiculously long.
They've been having issues like this on a weekly basis and they're starting to loose faith in the solution because it's costing them more money (via support) then it's saving them.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Is this because it's a mac-pc workflow? I understand that this is officially supported, but it practice teaches us that it's in fact not that stable I'd rather just recommend the client to get a mac from the start. Every client would rather hear that than having to deal with all these issues. And I have to say I'm very happy with the client for being so understanding, but I think they'll run out of patience soon if this keeps up. I've also included some other "postcards from InCopy" ;-) and so you must understand if you get all these errors during the last 3 weeks losing hours of work ... well it's just not fun anymore.
Thank you all very much, and hopefully see you guys at PepCon this year.
Bart

Hi Bob,
You are right, I didn't give this information. I must have forgotten.
Designers are working with:
OSX 10.7.2
InDesign CS5.5 (fully patched)
Copywriters are working with:
Windows 7
InCopy CS5.5 (also fully pathed).
There is no font managing software used, everyone uses open-type fonts which they specifically purchased for this workflow.
If the problem persists I will try with the assignment based workflow on dropbox. I waited with this workflow because the client wants to keep their files on their server so they can have backups if something goes wrong. I know Dropbox makes backup as well, but lets just say they have more faith in their own systeem (dropbox was completely new to them ).
So there are no reports of an unstable mac-pc InCopy workflow?
Thanks

Major Spotlight & iTunes Issues After Time Machine Restore

I lost my hard drive recently and was able to get a new drive from Apple through Applecare. They installed a fresh copy of OS X, when I loaded my Time Machine backup it didn't copy preferences or the /Applications/ folder, so I booted into the install DVD and had it restore the complete system image from my Time Machine.
After the successful restore, Spotlight's been having major issues finding things. Sometimes it will have applications in the results, sometimes it won't. That goes for either the Command+Space interface or the regular Finder window.
Also my ~/Music folder wasn't backed up (I wanted to save space on the external and I figured I had my music on my iPod and I knew how to get it off so it wasn't an issue for me) so after I got my music BACK to the HD and had iTunes take it all in, most of the tunes it left in the XXXX.ext format instead of renaming them like it's supposed to -- is there any way I can fix that?
Please help! Thanks!

This is how I reset spotlight, it worked: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2409
With iTunes I unchecked the "Organize My iTunes Library" option, closed preferences, reopened them, rechecked it, then closed it again and it reprocessed the library. Everything seems to be cool now, thanks!

Major upgrade, any issues?

Our studio is about to under take a major upgrade with machines and software. We're upgrading our macs from G4's to intel G5's and the software from CS2 to CS4.
Are there any issues? I've heard there is a major issue regarding fonts?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

chris,
The only "major issue" you have with fonts (standard Type 1, TrueType or OpenType) is incorrect installation, duplicate activation, or corrupted fonts.
The only "common" exceptions that come to mind involves Eras and Optima if you have their original Type 1 versions dating back to the 1980s. Or if you acquire questionable fonts from less-than-stellar foundries.

Major Apple Mail Issues with GoDaddy

I am having MAJOR ONGOING issues wiht Apple Mail that is negatively impacting my ability to work. It's gotten to the point of complete frustration and just considering going back to a PC, it's THAT horrible.
1) I do not regularly receive emails from 2 of my 4 GoDaddy accounts in Apple Mail. Sometimes emails will appear if I close Apple Mail, and then reopen. Sometimes they never appear in Apple Mail. Sometimes they appear randomly - and sometimes they again disappear. Everything is configured correctly (and the same as the functioning GoDaddy accounts) so I know it is not the setup. I NEED TO RECEIVE MY MAIL!
2) I can't move/delete/change anything from the same GoDaddy affected account inboxes in Apple Mail. I file the emails into folders on my Mac, and as soon as I click on another message, they reappear in the inbox. Same if I delete them. I've rebooted, tried a million different settings, delete the account all together and readded, and nothing works. So I have a jumped inbox of several hundred messages, and no matter how many times I file/organize/move/delete emails, they all just go *poof* back into the Inbox. What gives?!
I am so frustrated and my inability to work is more than a small problem at this point. I work in digital marketing, so to say that I need a functioning computer with a functioning email program is an understatement. This Macbook Pro cost over $3k and is less than a year old...funny how for that price I'd just expect it to work.....
I've read through multiple threads on this issue, and tried a million and one fixes, all to no avail. Reboot. Recreate email account. Change password. Update account settings. Test different account settings. Tried with and without SSL. Sometimes it works for a few minutes or if I'm really super lucky, a few hours...but always goes back to these issues.
Is there any resolution in site?

Step 1, take a deep breath and relax.

Answer all of these accordingly.
Have you tried deleting and adding the accounts back one at a time?
Yes, repeatedly. Same thing happens
What message protocol goes GoDaddy support? If you are using POP, have you tried IMAP?
Tried both POP and IMAP. IMAP works better. As mentioned in OP, I have multple GoDaddy accounts. All the rest work. 2 are having these issues. ALL GoDaddy accounts have identical configuration, so I know they are properly set up.
What does GoDaddy say about mail client configuration?
See above reply.
Have you tried using webmail?
Yes, works fine. All messages are there. Issues is not with GoDaddy, but with Mac.
Have you tried forwarding your GoDaddy email to another email acccound like iCloud?
Yes, this also works fine, however I need my work signatures for my different clients/programs hence the separate accounts in Apple Mail. Again the issues is with the Mac.
1. thanks.
2. the Mac is the issue
3. already done

T410s Intel HD Graphics Issue

I am having a weird issue with our new T410s laptops. I install the Graphics Driver that is on the website and it shows that everything is working fine.
If I place it in a series 3 dock with now monitors is works fine. If I try to plug in 1 Lenovo L2251p Monitor via DisplayPort it works fine, it will clone, it will do extended.
However, if I try to plug in 2 L2251p monitors via DisplayPort all 3 monitors go blank! No matter what I do I cannot get it to work. I can do Built in and Monitor 1 fine. I can do Built in and Monitor 2 fine but I cannot do Monitor 1 and monitor 2.
I have tried the drivers from the website, I have tried the ones from Windows updates, neither one works.
I also get an error every so often when doing extended:
"Display Driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

there is a problem with the current Lenovo firmware that for some reason dual DP output is not supported, for the time been you have use the DVI out for the second monitor. Lenovo technician and engineers have already caught on this issue, they are working on a resolution.
