T420: CPU periodically switches to lowest speed for no reason

Hi there,
I noticed a strange thing to my T420 - when SpeedStep is enabled CPU switches to lowest speed periodically which immediately affects performance. It switches to lowest speed even when CPU is at 100%. Then after few minutes it comes back to normal.
Anyone knows what why this could be?
Here is a screenshot of resource monitor:
Thanks,
Igor.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It maybe throttling due to heat. Typically, when the CPU reaches 85 degrees Celsius, it will start to turn off Turbo Boost or go to its lowest frequency.
Use a monitoring software like real temp and follow the settings below. The log text file is located on the same folder as the real temp program. Stress the CPU and see what temperature does the frequency drop.

Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?

My desktop computer m9200T running Win7 Home Premium crashes often. It seems to be temperature related.
I had tried SpeedFan, but my computer crashed everytime I ran it. SpeedFan window scrolled 20 some lines of text than the computer crashed. Is there an utility for monitoring cpu/gpu temperature and fan speed for desektop m9200T?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Only have one temperature monitoring application running or you could end up with erroneous readings.
Try PC Wizzard. Depending on your hardware, you should see temperatures for CPU, GPU and disk. At the same site you can also try HW Monitor.
I am running a custom motherboard and it comes with its own software for this purpose. HW Monitor seems fairly complete.

Cooling Fan ran full speed for no reason

iMac G5 17in 1 meg ram less than year old. Was sitting there in sleep mode and fan started running full speed for no reason. Computer screen black and would not wake up with keystroke. Shut down computer via rear panel switch and restart, all fine now. Do not understand why this happened but suspect it is actually a software problem, see below. Anyone have an idea so can understand what happened?
My iMac has the combo drive, not superdrive. I use an external 8x DVD burner for backups and iMovie. Yesterday I burned a iMovie (short) just fine. Then decided to back up my some of my Movie files along with iPhoto and iTunes media files. I tried three times but the burner did not work as usual. The first copy failed to verify and when I put it in the iMac slot, dumb I know, it did not show on the desktop. I restarted the computer to eject the disk, worked ok. The second copy did not work either, but did not put it in the iMac. The third copy burned but took a few hours to get 39% verified. I tried to stop the process with force quit, but it would not quit. Finally shut down the iMac via rear panel power button as a last resort as nothing on the desktop would respond to a mouse click. Computer restarted ok and worked fine for several hours until it went to sleep as I did last night.
I know using the power button is a last resort and possibly there is a keystroke that can force a proper shutdown. Also suspect the DVD external drive is balmy now, BenQ. But was amazed that the iMac still seemingly had some bug up its operating system this morning causing it to freeze and the fan to run full speed.
Again, any ideas...now be nice....I have tender ears
btw have three year warranty and just love the Mac, am going to sell my Dell laptop and get a PowerBook real soon.

Well the problem is fixed. I did call Apple Support and they ran me through the hardware utility. The problem I reported was that the system took forever to startup and that once the fan ran at full speed for no reason. I was not aware of the slow boot when I wrote this question so did not refer to it. But, after the DVD debacle my iMac would hang on the black screen just after the chime for about a minute or longer. The system worked fine once booted. This long boot came from both restart and a cold start. Think it happened once when I was trying to wake it from sleep yesterday, that is when I shut off the 'puter with the poer button. Anyway, the disk utility showed no problems
The Apple Careperson was very nice and stayed with me until the issue was resolved. It turnes out that unplugging my USB hub cured the slow bootup problem, and probably the fan.
So I am guessing that something in the external DVD hardware went and damaged the USB hub. It would be too odd for two devices to fail, on their own, at the same time.
The good news is that I just found a nice LaCie external DVD with firewire 400 support, so guess what I am buying.
As for the USB hub, well without the external DVD I don't need it right now so will wait to replace it.
Thanks for your help and I hope this may help someone else down the line.

Clip plays at double speed for no reason

When I am in FCP 5.0 I play a clip and it plays at double speed for no reason (captured dv25 from dvd via decklink extreme capture card). This happens when I click on play in the source or keyboard shortcut. I'm certain that I am not putting in to this mode by clicking or keying twice. Then suddenly I will close and open the clip and play motion is normal. This occurs on tutorial clips in FCP not just ones I have captured. I have trashed FCP preferences but this still happens. Any ideas?.....
Thanks in advance.

Haven't heard of this before, so unless someone else has a ready solution, I'd say you're going to need to troubleshoot. Start by creating a new user account, check the box to allow it to administer, then log into the new account and see if the problem follows. Please report back.

Mac Pro, Fans fire up full speed for no reason - randomly!

So, here is another fan issue with the Mac Pro, and I am at a loss. Perhaps someone can help me with this one. I have a Mac Pro I bought in mid '07, dual 2.66 GHz. I have 2 7300GT video cards, which don't have fans of their own to be making the noise...
The computer, when left doing nothing will ramp up full speed for God knows what reason. There is usually almost nothing open for applications, and no major processes running. Menu Meters shows the processor load to be minimal, not a heavy load that would cause heat-issues from processors working hard.
There is really no way to get the fans to slow back down either. The machine is still fully functional, I can open, close or work on software, so nothing is "frozen". I have quit all applications to no avail. The machine will not go to sleep when this occurs, and half the time will not power off using the shut down menu selection either; requiring a forced shut down. Upon reboot, it is fine... (until it decides once again to take off).
This is not the fans roaring when waking from sleep issue, I have had that one as well (bad ram).
Thoughts?

Last night, after I shut down, my fans slowly ramped up into high gear. They went to full rotation, and I let it whirr for four or five minutes, thinking it would shut itself off. It never did, so I just pulled the plug on the CPU. I plugged it back in five seconds later, and it stayed shut down after that.
It's been working more or less flawlessly other than this... most stable Mac I've ever had.

DVD menu speeding for no reason?!

Hi, I have a dvd project going in DVD studio and I have a 30 second menu I designed in Motion, all is fine but when I apply my custom made 30 second music aiff I exported from Soundtrack Pro to the menu it speeds up the menu to 4 seconds, the music stops after 4 seconds to and repeats, it looks stupid!
Why is this, it only happens when I apply the music aiff to the menu.
Cheers for any help

Macbook Pro CPU system usage up to 98% for no reason

Hi
I really hope someone can help me out here as I am really lost at the moment. This is my first post so I apologise in advance in case I posted in the wrong forum.
I updated my Macbook Pro (late 07 model) last week with 10.5.7 and smc 1.3 (software update not combo). My MBP has 4GB ram, all previous updates installed without any hitches and no new programs installed.
Ever since then I have been having trouble with my MBP, mainly it would get really sluggish after one hour (almost to the second, no kidding, I timed it). I use Activity Monitor and Console to see what's hogging the machine can see that the CPU system usage goes to 95%+ while no new activities/programs have been launched.
I tried many 'remedies' such as reinstalled the update using the combo download, disabled spotlight, disabled mobileme, reset smc/pram, turned off screen sharing and all to no avail.
I reside in Asia bought my MBP here and therefore don't get to call Apple and ask their technicians and the two advises I got from the dealers here are (1) I am now a proud owner of a MBP brick and (2) I might get a chance to 'resurrect' it when there's a smc 1.4 update.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
It then gets

Yes you are right. I did not ask AM to 'Show All Processes' just 'My Processes'. After reading your post I restarted my MBP, started AM straight away, chose 'Show All Processes' and waited... Sure enough, the most likely 'culprit' is 'AgentDaemon'.
After some googling I found that it maybe related to a program called 'Network Magic' which I have been using for a year and a half and survived previous system upgrades by Apple.
I shall look for a way to safely and cleanly remove this program from my system.
Thank you very much for your help.
Cheers.

Drop in speed for no reason!

Hi, Im new to the forums go easy on me lol,
Having a problems with infinity at the moment with the speed of the internet. Ive lost just over 30meg download speed from around 52 to 20 and its been like this for about 4 days now. i have tried resetting hub and open reach modem and it does nothing. Ive been intouch with bt which said they will look into it registered a fault but have not been back intouch. we.ve had no power cuts or anything like that so i cant understand why it would do this its been pretty good up until now. Could someone help me with this as i dont want to get back on the phone for them to tell me the same thing as they do everytime i ring them.
Many Thanks
Andy

Welcome to the forum.
Do not keep re-setting the modem, as it is seen by the Dynamic Line Management (DLM) system as a drop in connection. This means it thinks the line is not stable, and so drops your speed.
You can reset the hub (the black one) every day, but please don't re-set the white modem.
Hopefully, your speed will then start to increase, but it could take a few weeks.
Good luck!

[WP 8.1] Switching "Availible Offline" off for no reason

Sometimes a playlist stops playing in the middle and when i unlock my phone to check why this happened i notice that the "Availible offline" option is turned off for this playlist. Sadly it happens very often and is very annoing because i can restore my playlists only when i am able to connect to Wifi(and its not so easy to find because i mostly listen to music in public transport). I always make sure that my phone is locked before i put it into my pocket so i guess it's not because of missclicks. Before switching to WP i used Android version of Spotify and such a thing never happened so i think it's a WP issue. I wonder if anyone else experienced this issue and if there is a way to prevent this from happening. Thanks in advance for any help. [Edit] I am using Nokia Lumia 635

Sometimes a playlist stops playing in the middle and when i unlock my phone to check why this happened i notice that the "Availible offline" option is turned off for this playlist. Sadly it happens very often and is very annoing because i can restore my playlists only when i am able to connect to Wifi(and its not so easy to find because i mostly listen to music in public transport). I always make sure that my phone is locked before i put it into my pocket so i guess it's not because of missclicks.

Only the Apple ID that bought the apps can update the apps. That Apple ID is permanently encoded in the apps.
Your only option is to delete your cousin's apps* and buy them with your own Apple ID.
*Your cousin's apps on your Mac is software piracy.

CPU clock speed for 2645 and 2646 series

I looked for the clock speeds of the CPUs for 2645 and 2646 series at the IBM website but could not find them. Is there a pdf file which contains the above info, or a way to look for the clock speed for a given p/n? Could anyone help?

Is this normal fans speeds for MacBook Pros? See videos of my MBP in action

I can't figure out the fans on my MacBook Pro. The lowest normal speed for the fans in 2,000 rpm. They will spin up at times for no apparent reason to 5,0000 or 6,200 with nothing taxing the CPU while it's also pretty cool, usually around the high 30's or low 40's celsius.
The other night I was converting a movie with Visual Hub, with the process taking 80% of the CPU and the temp reaching 75 c with the fans staying at 2,000 RPM until about half way through the eight minute conversion. This is a time I would have expected the fans to kick in much earlier than they did.
I have reset the SMC previously with no effect. Coming from a Polycarbonate MacBook this machine is much nosier, but also much cooler running.
Check out the videos I made showing iStat and Activity Monitor during these episodes. Thanks for any feedback. I'm coming to the end of my 14-day return period and wanted to verify if my MBP is operating like others.
VIDEOS HERE.
Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggests.
S.U. -- I ran the Apple Hardware Test when I received the computer and it found no problems.
Travis -- Thanks for the insight to what normal range is for the MBP.
I opened a case with Apple to get the ball rolling and get assigned a case number. The tech on the phone could not look at the videos but didn't think there was a problem from my descriptions. He did suggest I take it in for a look.
Online I made a reservation for the Genius at the Apple Store that night. While I was waiting I was curious how other MBP's handled some serious thrashing. Since it was late and nobody was in the store, I loaded iStat Pro on three of the MBP's and opened Terminal. In two windows I ran yes > /dev/null and let them run.
On all three machines the fan speeds never got higher than the lower 4K rpm range. They all settled in around 90C and stayed there. One MBP ran these processes for about 40 minutes and the highest fan speed I remember seeing was 35XX RPM, and again around 90C, but it would fluctuate up or down a few degrees.
When my appointment came up I showed Rex, my Genius rep (Cleveland, Legacy Village store), what I had done on their machines just to get some perspective on how other MBP's handled both cores running more than 90%.
My MacBook had been asleep for a few hours. When he woke it up the fans went immediately to 4200 rpm and stayed there. He hooked up a super-duper, special, double-secret HD via firewire and booted off that. The problem persisted.
He took it in back to crack it open. He was looking for any loose connections but found none. He could not find any errors but agreed that something was amiss with my MBP.
He was not sure if my computer, being a refurb, was different when it came to returns. We called Apple on my cell, got a rep, and he arranged for them to take back my Mac since I'm within my 14 days.
So props to Rex for his great customer service and a happy ending.

I chat freezes after switching to high speed cable

3 weeks ago we purchased a new I Mac and set up I chat video conferencing with an AIM account. It worked well, with only a few break-ups in the video. At that time we were using a DSL connection-our buddy (Mom) a 2 yr. old I Mac on high speed cable. We switched to high speed cable 2 weeks ago and from that point on I Chat hasn't worked. We connect for a second and then the picture freezes and we get an error msg. We have had our "Mac Doc" out twice and talked to the cable guys- everyone seems stumped and so far nothing has helped. Any ideas on how we can fix this would be greatly appreciated.
