TRYing to locate power management in bios

Trying to make computer start up in the morning at 8:00; cant find power management in bios

Hi mickey16,
I understand you would like your computer to start at 8 AM automatically. Take a look at the following article: How to Turn ON your PC automatically. As it suggests, it may take a little searching, or, depending on your computer model, it might not have the setting to accomplish this task. Let me know if this helps. Best of luck to you.

Trying to locate Power Management 3.05 for Win7

Does anyone know where I can locate an archived Power Management driver? I'm trying to find the Windows 7, v. 3.05 file for some debugging that I'm doing.
Thanks...

Disabling "CPU Power Management" through BIOS -- any bad consequences?

Ok, so my new T440S is emitting a most annoying high-pitched noise. After doing some research, I come to the conclusion that it is the so called CPU Whine.
According to the diagnostics provided on this page:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T510-T410-W510-ThinkPad-high-pitched-whine/...
Disabling CPU Power Management may silence the noise - as a diagnotic measure, not a solution (as the post asks the user to contact Lenovo support for assistance).
So I tried that and indeed it silences the annoying whine. I have already contacted Lenovo and they said they will get back to me after Christmas. Meanwhille, I am still using this computer, and I am keeping the setting for CPU Power Management Disabled, until Lenovo solves the noise problem.
I was wondering if this (keeping the CPU Power Management disabled) may have some bad consequences - like melting some parts down or something. Would anyone know?
Thanks!

Hi yinslaptop!
I have good news. I have the same problem. My T440s is completely quiet at 43 °C CPU so I don't need any fans to spin. However there is a slight buzz coming out of the middle of the laptop. And it isn't coming from the speakers nor the fan. I didn't bother to open it up yet and check what is causing that noise, but I guess it's related to some coil whine or voltage leakage. As in your case, when I turn off the CPU Power Management option in the BIOS, the sound dissapears completely.
HOWEVER I conicidentally put one SD Card Adapter into the Card Slot and the sound completely dissapeared. I would say give it a try. Sadly the sound comes back in 20 seconds at my machine, but I am using a Sd card adapter with no card in there. Maybe this will change when I put one in. Have to test, because I don't have one lying around.
Lenovo has done a great job. You could to better at this price range, especially when the pc market is shrinking .. it's survival of the fittest. You will see what I mean when you won't get foothold in US and Europe anymore and only will supply Asia.
You won't probably answer this thread and when you do "awww yes, we are deeply sorry, some level buzz is completely normal" CTRL+V bull**bleep**.
Don't get me wrong. I really like the new T440s as my first ThinkPad, but my high order of quality wasn't meet. However I still bought it, because I needed one laptop with really good battery life, good screen and small footprint. Well sorry for the rant.

Toshiba power management and BIOS-Satelite M30X

Hi!
I've just installed XP PRO with SP2. I tried to install Toshiba Power Management tool. At the end of installation blue screen appeared and system rebooted. I tried bios upgrade (windows flash)and just after flash procedure started system hanged.
Icouldn't reboot even pressing poweroff button for several sec's. What is the problem? If possible reply also for private email [email protected]

Hi,
had you read the "Driver Update Information for Windows XP with Service Pack 2" which is available at http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com in the driver download section!
For BIOS update I can only say, if the notebook doesn't start anymore after BIOS update, you have to contact a Toshiba Service Partner for diagnostics! When you see the red Toshiba logo at boot up you can try it again.
At http://www.toshiba-tro.de/gcc/biosinfo/index.html you will find some further infomations about BIOS update procedures!

G510s/windows 8.1 sleep problems (power management options & BIOS do not correct it)

hi there,
suddenly seemingly for no reason, the sleep function of my machine no longer works properly. when the machine goes to sleep, it either shuts itself off or goes into unwakable hibernation, in which case i must shut the machine off improperly and crash my open files. the fan also stays on non-stop when it is in unwakable hibernation.
i have changed the power management options numerous times based on suggestions i have read about or been told via lenovo support, and in each case, the sleep function works properly the next 5 times or so, but then the same old problem arises again.
in addition, i now receive pop-up boxes every time i turn the machine on that indicate that the start menu has been updated, and it asks me if i want to install skype, etc. this is now a daily occurrance, and i wonder if it is related to the sleep problems, or if this is a new unrelated glitch.
please tell me how to fix the machine, keeping in mind that i have already changed the power settings numerous times to no avail. in addition, my BIOS is and always has been up to date, as this is a brand new machine.
thanks very much in advance,
tamara

After upgrading to Windows 8.1 did you install the appropriate chipset driver and IMEI software?
Which BIOS version did you install?

W520 freeze caused by "CPU power managment in BIOS"

I have been running my Thinkpad W520 seemlessly for the past 4 years.
It started to freeze last monday on win7. Freezes increased rapidly and then occured at logon.
I was able to run win7 in safe mode.
Unable to reinstall win7 or even ubuntu.
Unplugged all peripheral without any succes, then disabled everything in the BIOS (1.41) and it worked again.
It looks like the "CPU power management" causes the freezes. with it disabled, everything is running back.

Hi paa55112
If I am not wrong, none other than reduced battery life.
For SSD, you could try PerfectDisk and use SSD Optimize to improve 4K read / write performance

What does 'CPU Power Management' BIOS setting do?

On many threads people (and Lenovo tech support) have recommended disabling 'CPU Power Management' in BIOS as a workaround for the common high-pitched noise problem. I assume this negatively affect battery life, but am wondering if anyone knows what exactly the option does and by how much disabling it hurts battery life.
Thanks,
Josh

Does it prevent all CPU state changes or only certain ones (e.g., C3/C4)? And does it have any other affect? I ask because Lenovo tech suport disabled it to combat a whining noise and I'd like to understand the implications. Also, if it just is altering CPU state changes, I think that can be accomplished in software.
Thanks

Power managment issue ?

Hello everyone , i'm actually using an MSI 560 Ti Hawk , after the 285.62 update i started facing the famous TDR while browsing with firefox.
It seems that removing hardware accelleration fixed it .
I also tried changing the power managment option in the nvidia control panel.. here is my question :
i moved it to prefer max performance from adaptive ( both in global and firefox specific ) , but i can't see any difference from the standard behaviour , the core is still sitting at 50 mhz
shouldn't it move up to max core ( 950 ) with this option ?
thx in advance

is this the right bios ( i mean the updated one ) for my vga ? http://www.mediafire.com/?meo17jth7ufcert
do you have any other advice for the TDR issue with last 285.62 drivers rather than disabling hw accelleration on firefox and changing from adaptive to extreme performance ?
thx again

Nope, you have to ask Nvidia about it.
285.62 think was having such fix for IE browsers.
You can reisntall them, but remove any VGA drivers 1st in Safe Mode with >>Driver Sweeper<<
and also when installing the new one, choose custom install and chechmark "Clean Install"

Problem with installing power manager

Hello,
I've been trying to install power manager 6.36 without success.
The first setup which installs files into "c:\swtools\readyapps\pwrmgrv" goes well. but when im trying to install Power Manager and click next to install to the destination folder ("Program files (x86)\ThinkPad\Utilities) it freezes.
http://postimage.org/image/4plchblmx/ - freezes here and cant do anything but exit the installation.
After it failed couple times I've been trying to install my original power manager 3.48 but it freezes just like 6.36.
*tried to install it with Manual Install & Silent Install - both failed.
What can I do?

I had the same issue with some sw earlier on my laptop with Win7/64 bit. That sw didn't want to be installed and needed the old .NET vesion. At the same time my system restricted old version .NET environment installtion process from M$ site or from sw installation package as I had up to date .NET. The result was I couldn't avoid that strange behaviour.

Prob. installing Power Manager T61

Hi,
when i try to install the Power Manager on a T61 i get the errror message "Error occured while copying files" during setup. Try different installations without success. Any idea?
thanks
Kai

I would suggest going to http://www.lenovo.com/de/de/index.html and navigate to the Downloads und Treiber page, letting the page detect your system. Once you are on the correct page for your machine, download System Update. Install System Update and then let it manage the installation of the drivers you need.
If you already have tried to install Power Manager and have a non-functioning installation, un-install it first. You are correct about the interoperability and sequence of installing certain modules. The System Update does a good job of sorting that out. Good luck!

Thinkvantage power manager

My T400 is woeking fine but the battery gauge in my taskbar show the batter as bing not installed. Everything else works though. I tried uninstalling the power manager and reinstalling it. Ihave tried calling tech support but they are useless. Ideas?

Hi Pheckphul,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
ThinkVantage Power Manager is available only till Windows 7 OS, you won’t get Power Manager for Windows 8 and above, instead of that you can install Lenovo power management application.
To update the drivers and application for your system use ThinkVantage System Update utility.
Best regards,

Radeon power management: can't write to /sys/class/drm/card0/device/

I'm trying to enable power management for my Radeon X850 using the open source driver and am failing miserably at it.
The wiki informs me to do this:
# echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
which results in my computer telling me that I'm a complete and total loser:
bash: /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method: No such file or directory
I don't quite understand the whole "/sys" directory, and I feel like I'm missing something simple. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do?
That section in the wiki article seems to be a little confusing, as if it's a combination of confusing and outdated instructions. Do I need to use the special [radeon] repository to get power management? What does it mean to "select the methods via sysfs"?
Thank you.

Any tips on getting power management/sleep working on an Ideapad y460 (0633)?

Hi All,
I've decied to try and put Windows 8 on a new SSD and try using it in my Idepad y460 (0633).
I've actually gotten most all of the drivers to work, including the AMD switchable graphics (by running that installer in Win7 compatibility mode).
However, I cannot get sleep to work properly. If not a crash, I experience random messages about services not running when I wake from sleep (i.e. audio service isn't running, network card is listed as 'unavailable', etc.) that require a restart to fix. I've tried running the power management driver listed for my model (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS007793) in Win7 compatibility mode, but all it does is slow down my login, and make windows complain about known compatibility issues. Doesn't fix sleep. I've tried the Lenovo Power Managment for Windows 8 (http://support.lenovo.com/en_GR/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS030850), even though my device wasn't listed. It installs okay, but doesn't fix sleep issues, and the touch buttons still don't work.
For now, I've decided that "Do nothing" on lid close, while "Hibernate" for power button is fast enough and convenient, as those options work just fine. However, I would like sleep to be able to work.
I understand Windows 8 is not actually released yet, but I was wondering if anyone had tried this and found success, as this is the only problem I have left preventing me from using Windows 8 comfortably.
Thanks for any tips,
- Chase

Satellite X200 - No power management tab in BIOS

I have a Satellite X200 and I'm trying to access the power management tab in BIOS, however no such tab exists. The reason being is that I'm trying to set up an automatic start up time. If it is any help, the BIOS is Phoenix TrustedCore V.2.10
So I'm wondering where it is, or how to access the power management
Thank you in advance

Hello
Why you need an automatic start up time?
Sorry but such a function is not available. I never had a notebook that was able to set such automatic start up time.

Idle power management features on processor disabled due to a firmware problem - after BIOS update

Hi,
I did a BIOS upgrade on my E20 - 4220-CTO to 5JKT55A and I started seeing these messages in my System Event log ->
"Idle power management features on processor 0 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
"Idle power management features on processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
"Idle power management features on processor 2 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
"Idle power management features on processor 3 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
The messages occur on each reboot.
I upgraded to the latest bios 5JKT56A and I get the same messages.
I was not getting these error messages on BIOS level 5JKT47A(ship from lenovo with this level).
I updated my BIOS as it was suggested on the lenovo site before doing the win7 SP1 update. Note - I got the error before and after the SP1 update so it's not related to SP1.
I have not see any additional issues, just the messages in the event log on each boot.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance!

5JKT58A is the current E20 BIOS. have you tried it yet?
