The Lenovo Ideapad Y510p Thread

[gamefreak4770k]

The laptop throttles when under intensive conditions.... Tried video conversion along with playing nfs-mw(old one) and the cpu is clocked to 2.4ghz...

i guess that's throttling... so oc'ing is out of question

anyway how to stretch the screen size to full screen??? When i play gta sa and nfs mw old then then the default aspect ratio is 4:3 it doesn't go to 16:9 nor there is suitable resolution.

in my old laptop it used to stretch into 16:10 of 800x600 resolution


there is no problem with prototype and hitman

anyone tried to oc the CPU ?, i did mine to 3.61 Ghz with an XTU score of 730, but yesterday my system got restarted while playing some games and intel watchdog timer reset my cpu clocks to default again, guess this is a problem with haswell.

Isn't 3.61ghz a bit too much? you're lucky you didn't fry your cpu

there is no problem with prototype and hitman

You mean all 4 cores of your cpu are always at 3.1 when running prototype and hitman?

Max temp of processor might also be the culprit. Might have reached 100.

no it fluctuates from 2.4 to around 2.8 and sometimes 3ghz

i was asking about how to stretch 4:3 aspect ratio game into 16:9...
most old games run on 4:3 ratio like gta sa

I had seen a few articles regarding over clocking the cpu. I would not do this coz m just completing my rig very soon. So a big no to over clocking my cpu may be my gpu some day.

I can solve your problem of NFS MW with this little file i.e., NFSMW Custom Resolution Launcher,NFS-Planet - Need for Speed Rivals, World, Most Wanted

P.S. i am posting link as i am not able to upload this file.(showing some error )

 

[gamefreak4770k]

^^It ain't working.

BTW i found the game runs on Intel gpu so by right click on desktop then graphics options then panel fit then stretch.
Thus hola game fixed.

yes , i tried to play nfs , while making it off ... i got know it was running intel graphics ..not the nvedia ..

Heh.. I have'nt got a voucher code either.. But I'm not sure calling or emailing is going to help.. I've tried both actually.. Spent over an hour cumulatively on hold, hearing the same 'your call is important' crap.. Never got to speak with anyone though.. Also sent emails.. No reply.. No option left but to sit tight and hope for the best

^^ same here. Banged my head a lot with these people no more time to waste with these people.

I was ordering from the dostore using my voucher. After filling in the details and everything i checked option of debit and net banking as my order was exceeding around 400 bucks but to my surprise nothing happened in regard to payment gateway. I checked through the online account it shows the order is pending. Do i need to contact support? Anyone who has ordered can you confirm that order shows as pending in the details?

Has anyone done a 'battery gauge reset' on their laptop? I am asking coz my laptop battery readings are all wonky.. It goes straight from ~40% to 6%, no values in between. I contacted lenovo care and they asked me to do a battery gauge reset. I asked them about the issues that some ppl had with this. But they assured me that there is no such problem on the y510p...

Read my previous post regarding Battery Gauge Reset!
Never use this feature coz it has created multiple problems in Y500 and I believe Y510 may also suffer from this so why take chances its better that you manually do calibrate your battery, Simply fully charge it and let it discharge till your PC shutdowns at 1% battery and again fully charge it.

I had noted that. That's why I said that I had asked the tech support lady about this problem. I am not very sure that I can take their word at face value when they say that the Y510p does not have this issue. Hence my question whether anybody has done a battery gauge reset.
