For the past 2-3 months I've had an issue where my CPU will randomly drop to 0.4 GHz even though it's nowhere near overheating and is on full battery. I've tried and tried again to fix the issue but cannot find any solutions. Laptop Specs: Model Name: Lenovo Ideapd Gaming 3 15ACH6 - Type 82K2 AMD Ryzen 5600H 16 GB RAM @ 3200Mhz Nvidia Geforce 1650 Max Q Normally: In Games: The max CPU temp that Lenovo has set is 80 degrees. The issue only seems to happening in games, I have no idea why. I've seen intel users have the exact same problems and solutions for those included ThrottleStop which isn't available for AMD CPUs. I've tried resetting Windows, installing Windows from a fresh ISO, updating my BIOS, reinstalling my graphics drivers and nothing has worked.

Laptop model and specs: When I bought back then 6 years ago it didn't have any thermal problems when I play games but after 6 years of using it and cleaning it, it started having thermal issues when I updated my wins 10 regularly this year on the same games I play: Destiny 2 6 years ago my laptop could handle destiny 2 without any issues. Right now it throttles like crazy on super low settings. I uploaded core temp readings of before and after when it starts throttling and other stuff I recently got my laptop cleaned and everything. when idle my temps are 40-50 bellow. When I game it just shoots up to 100 I googled everything that could help me like managing processor power in the battery settings, tweaking my GPU, doing things to steam. It didn't help at all.

My computer is ASUS Tuf F15 (i7 3070). I used the command "reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power /v PlatformAoAcOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0" in PowerShell to disable S0 standby and enable S3 standby. However, when the computer wakes up from standby, it automatically restarts after about 30 seconds.

i have an old lenovo notebook and its keyboard isn't working. i think its a software problem because the function keys work. here is the device manager details: model:ideapad 130-14IKB or 81H6

To save everyone time I have summarised the conclusion we came to in the thread. Summary updated 12th January 2024. The AX201 (CNVIO2) can only work with Intel 10th Generation CPUs or newer! The PCIe cards (in title) can work with some CNVIo laptops, it depends if the manufacturer included PCIe support as well in the slot and sadly they won't tell you, its trial and error. PCIe cards or PCIe to M.2 WiFi adapters will work great on desktops, although many with M.2 WiFi sockets can also be swapped out. I did on my ASUS Z370-I Gaming, but the same caveats apply if your existing card is CNVio, although it seems more common for them to support PCIe too than on laptops. The Intel BE200 WiFi 7 card is now out, it should work equally as well except theres a chance it wont be fully WiFi 7 compliant as the standard has not been ratified yet, although Intel seem to think its likely to be fine. As I wont be getting WiFi 7 until its ratified I will still cautiously recommend the Intel AX210 as it supports the full WiFi 6e (which will still work on WiFi 7) and seems to perform slightly better than the AX200 even on plain WiFi 5. Although strangely I've also found the AX200 performs better than the AX210 on WiFi 6, though did not test this on the laptop so it may just be differences in antenna design. Laptop that supports CNVIo2 but strangely seems to work better with a PCIe card: ASUS VivoBook S15 S533EA Laptops that came with CNVio cards but confirmed to be PCIe compatible: ASUS GL703G ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 UX580GE Dell G7 7588 Dell Inspiron 7586 2-in-1 Dell Inspiron 7786 2-in-1 Dell Precision 3530 Lenovo Y540-17IRH-PG0 Lenovo Yoga S740 MSI GE 75 Raider 8SG MSI GS63VR MSI GL65-9SEK (AX200 performed slower than original card but AX210 may fix that) MSI GS65-9SE MSI GL75 9SFK MSI GT72S MSI Modern 14 A10M ThinkPad X1 Extreme gen 1 (no bluetooth support as USB not supported on socket) Laptops confirmed NOT to work: Acer Swift 1 SF114-32 MSI GS75 - but was worked around by using spare NVMe socket intended for SSD. GS75 Stealth 8SF Motherboards confirmed to work with PCIe cards in their WiFi M.2 slot: Gigabyte B360N GSM (with M.2 slot advertised as CNVi 1) Motherboards confirmed NOT to work: MSI B360i The original thread continues below: Has anyone successfully replaced an Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 with an AX201? I tried on my ASUS GL703G and the laptop refuses to power up, or even detect the charger, with the card installed. When I remove it the laptop immediately tries to power up (like it remembered I'd pressed the power button and the blocking factor was suddenly removed). I even tried removing the battery to make sure it hadn't crashed the power management chip or something (kinda should have done that before swapping the cards I guess, but no damage done). ASUS do not blacklist cards, but they also refuse to provide any support for aftermarket upgrades, the usual response of "if it doesn't work, it must not be compatible". The seller I bought the AX201 from is repeating the same thing. I'm almost certain the card MUST be faulty to behave like this, as Intel clearly list the AX201 as the replacement for the AC 9560, both being CRF cards. https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/articles/000026155/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html It makes no sense a compatible but somehow not supported by the BIOS (why would it even need BIOS support if there is no blacklist?) card would prevent powering up. At worst I'd expect it to not be detected. Such a PITA after my other laptop, also by ASUS, went flawlessly upgrading from the 8265 to an AX200. I just knew CRF/CNVIo was going to be trouble.

Hello, I’m look for recommendations on a new laptop for productivity. This would consist of using excel and other processing programs, email, work, etc. I’m not as in tune with laptops compared to desktop pcs these days. I would like a larger amount of storage (ssd for booting preferred), something not too big or too small, longevity, and usb-c docking capability. Thanks in advance! Luke

I'm really just looking for a good personal Laptop, I do a lot of traveling for work, so nothing massive. I do a lot of work in BlueBeam Revu, I'm an engineer, but i don't need a daily driver, just something I can pull out on the fly and make quick adjustments if needed as well as simple things like checking email and browsing the web if needed. Key point I would like to have include: USB C charging USB C Connectivity AUX Preferably under the $800 mark, but $1,000 is the budget A brand that doesn't start with a "D" Intel would be preferred for this type of work. I think that pretty much sums up what I am looking for. I have already found a couple that I like but I'm not quick to pull the trigger, as I have failed in the past MANY times to pick a decent unit. Both my Dell and HP units just... were lacking? The only one I have owned so far that I actually enjoyed was my Lenvo ThinkPad, but that was before I started on my current career path. Thanks in advance.

I recently bought a Samsung galaxy pro 3 360 2 in 1. The best buy listing says: Samsung - Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 2-in-1 16" 3K AMOLED Touch Screen Laptop - Intel 13th Gen Evo Core i7-1360P - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Graphite. I just realized that there is a deal on P16s 16" AMOLED. The title for that product says: Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Laptop: 16" 4K+ OLED, Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD. I am confused as this P16s can be had for ~300$ cheaper and I am still in the return window. Would love to get insights from wise strangers on the internet. My use case: 1. I have pretty powerful machines at home and don't particularly need the power as I can remote into the home network. God bless tailscale. 2. I play games like civ 6, football manager which work on either from what I understand. This is more for when on a flight. 3. I haven't experienced the display on P16s, but the screen on the galaxy book is absolutely fantastic. I would love to take it to the rooftop and be able to work. 4. Need the 16" as have an eye condition and need the real estate as everything needs to be zoomed in. 5. The galaxy book has touch screen and has a S Pen. I am indifferent to the S Pen and only use case for touch maybe the games in flights. That is if the games are touch compatible. Is it worth it for me to go through the return process and switch to the P16S. Appreciate your time and guidance.

About a year ago, I've upgraded my Laptop (Acer Aspire A317-51G) from 8GB of Ram (2x4GB) to 20GB (1x4GB, 1x16GB). It always worked fine but yesterday, it just decided to not boot -> It starts, the Power LED turns on, but there is no video, the display doesn't even turn on. If I remove the stick of RAM that I added a year ago and replace it with the old one, it does the same thing. I have no other slots to test, because the other 4GB are soldered to the Mobo.

Here is my case, I am currently doing a doctorate in Europe and in need of an upgrade computer wise, now I can either choose between a new laptop or a desktop, for a laptop I can't spend more than 1500€ since most available models at this budget are with a 4060, as for a desktop (screen included) I can push the budget up to 2000€ and between the two one has the advantage of portability and the other can be customized and upgraded over time, not to mention the performance difference, now what would you advice between what kind of PC I go with and if you have any good laptop suggestions or desktop builds within the budgets, that would be very helpful. NB: * Location is Italy * Primary usage of the upgrade is for research and gaming (the 2020 and forward single player releases) * I already own an old laptop HP Probook i7 3rd gen which still works and will upgrade just its battery for light daily usages

Hello, I am planning on buying a laptop for myself for regular day-to-day office work and some/ rare gaming. I have been looking at Lenovo and Asus and I am confused between 2 specifications. A-> Company- ASUS- TUF A15 CPU- AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX GPU- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop RAM- 8GB DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM *2 Storage- 512GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 SSD B-> Company- Lenovo LOQ CPU- Intel i5-12450H GPU- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop RAM- 8GB DDR5-4800MHz (SODIMM) *2 Storage- 512 GB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC Both systems have 8GBx2 = 16GB of ram. but A has DDR4 ran whereas B has DDR5 ram. Both are at an approximate same price point but the ASUS laptop is refurbished. My approximate budget is 70,000 INR +/- 5,000 INR. I am unsure as to which laptop to select. Please feel free to ask any questions/ clarifications/ details required from my side. Kindly help.

I have looked around what laptop to buy, but there are too many options. So i was wondering if you could help me. My use cases are: running some docker containers (ex databases, and web applications locally), compiling rust and c++, modeling in FreeCad, content consumption, writing code. My preferences: linux would be appreciated, the price shouldn't be more then 1200usd, don't mind it if its used, Max 16inche screen(but 14 is preferred) Good enough so i can last about 5 years a fairly good keyboard I'm willing to go up in price if there is a good reason. Thanks in advance

I've been looking for a used workstation laptop with MXM compatibility. i cant find a real list of older models with this capability, only new ones. any suggestions or examples?

I've got an Acer Aspire a315-g42-r5yr Laptop from a friend for basic maintenance. After cleaning everything, changing bios battery, i went to reinstall windows, i successfully booted the installer, installed windows, and then: no bootable device found. I've tried all over again, and again, then i started troubleshooting. I went trough every posibble setting in bios, least 3 times and if windows is installed, i get no bootable device error. But if ubuntu is installed, everything is working fine. Any ideas why is this happening?

This is an issue that I have had with my previous PC usage and am starting to have again and am not sure what is causing it. (Laptop Devices). 1 device was running windows 10 and 1 is now running windows 11. On my windows 10 machine I used to use the hibernation feature and when I would leave it plugged in (connected to power) and charging it would randomly crash and I'd have to press the power button to turn it on and when I did, everything had to start up again like I had just turned it on after having been powered down. Now i am having that issue again on my new laptop running windows 11. I have no idea what is causing the issue. I have provided some text documents with event viewer logs that may be able to help someone figure out why this is happening. I'd like to note that this will happen whether I put the Laptop to sleep or use the hibernation feature. Sometimes I can place the computer to Sleep or Hibernate and if I reopen it shortly after it's fine. I couldn't tell you how long after I put it to sleep it FAILS and just crash's other than what I can see in the event viewer. Edit: It sometimes also hangs and looks like it's on but it's not and I have to hold the power button to turn it off and then back on. Computer issues.txt Crashing.xml

Hi, so as the title already says, I'm currently in the search for a new laptop because in a few weeks I'm starting to study dentistry at university. I already have an Samsung Tab S 7+ but I would prefer a Laptop that I can use together with it. My Budget is currently around 1000€ which would be equal to around 1200 USD. I would also love some tips and tricks on using an android tablet together with an Windows machine. Thanks in forward

Hi guys, sorry I didn't know what other channel to put this into but I have a question for any current or graduated engineering student. So i'm currently deciding between either getting a laptop (HP Envy x360 16Gb R7 7730U), iPad air (256gb) or Samsung Tab S9 (256gb). I am going into my first year of engineering and have been told by many that an ipad/tablet will be the better choice as it'll make taking notes a lot easier. The doubt that i have in my mind is that will the Tab S9 or iPad air be able to run all the applications that I would need for engineering for atleast the first 2-3 years. Any advice is appreciated, Thank you!!

Hello fellow enthusiasts. I have run into a problem with my bios for my Gigabyte R5 KD Gaming laptop. I hadnt updated it in a little over a year and when I did after doing maintenance on the internals, I.E. cleaning and repasting, I figured I would go ahead and do so. well I went from having a great laptop, to now a laptop that I can't tune(overclock), control the fans and can no longer configure my RGB. The gigabyte control center also no longer recognizes that its a gigabyte product. Please help. I cant even find the old bios file to roll it back. My old bios was from 2022 and it was amazing. The old bios looked like the red picture and the new one is the garbage insyde one.

I just wanted to know what's up with all these dell laptops having weird electric crackling noises? i thought dell was supposed to be excellent but i guess not. I own a 7000 series and just received it from Amazon yesterday, however when it is plugged in and especially when scrolling i here a crackling noise. When removing the charger the sound goes, so does stop scrolling using the trackpad. When i searched online, it seems a lot of other models have this same issue and dell has been ignoring posts on their own forums regarding this issue. Any fixes or updates i should know about? I have attached a video of the issue, if you turn your volume up you can hear it clearly. Thanks in advance. 1496194953_WhatsAppVideo2022-11-23at8_10_14PM.mp4

hey everyone im trying to look for a laptop that is strong enough to run multiple visual studios and vms and is also relatively portable so around 14inch to be on the go and light and with a decent battery the budget is around 2.5k top 3k i was thinking about the Lenovo yoga 9 pro but i cant decide if it would be good for my requirements

Hey all! I'm looking for a new laptop and have the chance to buy either of these at the same price [€800 NL] (spec sheets linked below). I'm a student, so use case is normal productivity tasks, some python programming, and taking notes in tablet mode. I like having the chance to maybe connect an iGPU down the line (both have thunderbolt 4). Their main difference is the processor, i5-1335U in the HP and i7-1260P in the Samsung. I'm a bit concerned about the thermals and built quality of the Samsung, but I think the i7 is better on paper. Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!

I have a HP Probook 430 G4. Whenever i restart, it says "Press ESC key for startup menu". The button doesnt seem to do anything. Even after spamming ESC and F10 the BIOS doesnt open up. What should I do?

Hi, so I don't usually ask for help for this kinda thing since I usually just do research and try to fix the problem myself but the issue persists nomatter what I do, My laptop (Lenovo gaming 3 15ACH6) randomly gets a large stutter, happens either running no tasks or under load, always happens randomly and cant seem to replicate it. Here are some of the things I've tried to do in order to fix it, Used DDU to uninstall both amd and nvidia gpu, then clean installed them Uninstalled all processors and did a fresh install Enabled hardware accelerated gpu scheduling Fresh install of windows 10 Updated Bios to the latest version Upgraded RAM, changed the storage drive Important things to note, the laptop is on a cooling fan and is not overheating
