Screen Flashes When On Battery Power?
Nov 11, 2012I just completed a fresh install of Windows 7 on my Dell XPS 17. For some reason, when the computer is on battery power and is idle, the screen will flicker. Basically if I am on battery power, the moment I stop typing or using the mouse, the screen will flicker after about a second. Then as soon as I resume using the computer, it will flicker again. It will also flash at random other times... Only when on battery power (so far).As I mentioned, I just completed a fresh install of windows 7 after reformatting my drive because of virus issues. I did have some issues with getting drivers installed and still have have that are missing (see attached photo). I have not been able to get these drivers to install. One thought I had is that the screen issue may be a result of improperly installed graphics drivers? Just a thought. System Info:

View 9 Replies View RelatedRun Script On Battery/Critical Power?
Feb 6, 2010In XP, we had the option of executing a script when the computer switched from AC to battery power, and also when the battery reached a critical level. This was extremely useful because I had a special script run to send an email that the power had gone out and then hibernate the computer when it reached a critical level.
In the Windows 7 power options screens, I see no such options. Were they removed?
Windows 7 Slows Down Drastically When Connected To The Internet?

View 8 Replies View RelatedPower Down / Take Out Battery To Let Motherboard Reload USB Drivers
May 10, 2011so i am not intirerly sure this is the correct place to post it.Secondly, i think this is a problem that i have created myself and now i am unable to correct it.The jist of it is this. Whenever i try to active the webcam (Function + F10) a pop-up shows saying that hardware connected to a USB port is not recognized. This must be cause by the cam (which us buillt-in) is connected to the USB port on the motherboard.When i go to device manager, i can see that there is a unknown device connected, whenever the webcam is powered on.Btw it worked fine when i did the initial installation of the computer.What i have tried to do to resolve this is the following:
- Remove all drivers asociated with the webcam - reboot - reinstall from provided CD
- Power down, take out batteri (even for en entire night) to let the motherboard reload the USB drivers.
- Removed all the USB drivers and have tried reinstallling
I deleted som folders from my D: drive, (which is not the partition that has my windows directory installed) and there i might have deleted som crutial files for the webcam software to work.I have no idea on how to go on from here. This is a computer i have spend quite a long time getting up-2-date with all the programs i use for school and the exams are coming up. I would really like not having to do a clean install right now.
[POWER] Computer Sucking At Battery When Turned Off?
Nov 17, 2012I have just been given a Fujitsu Lifebook S6540 running windows 7 and on the whole it is fine but it is eating the battery when switched off. Research on the internet has shown that the computer, although seeming to shut down may still be running in the background. I have therefore been into the registry and changed the powerdown after shutdown code to 1 rather than 0 which should ensure a complete shut down. I duly did this and let the computer charge up before shutting down and then left it for a day.It did not make a shred of difference and found half the battery had been use

I shut it down last night and it did the same today on boot up, nothing. Again, discharging the battery fully brought it back.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSetting Power Plan To High Performance Actually Improve Gaming In Battery Mode?
Jul 27, 2011Anyways, in laptops (gaming or not), does setting the power plan to High Performance actually improve gaming (frame rates, speed and anything else) in battery mode? I'm using a laptop (not dedicated gaming, but suffices) and my games (the recent ones) slow down whenever I'm in battery mode. A couple of friends told me I should set it High Performance, which I doubted since they don't seem to be the type to change the power plan settings and more so with the advanced plan settings.

Aug 30, 2012I have an ASUS K50IE laptop that i had for 2 years now. been working fine until 2 days ago.this problem has been bugging me for the last 2 days. here's why.my laptop suddenly didn't detect my battery. thought it was because my battery was dead. I searched the net on things to do before "throwing in the towel" on my battery and today i came across a blog where the instruction was to uninstall the Microsoft ACPI compliant control method battery driver. I did just that and my battery suddenly worked! well sort of. now here's where it gets all weird.every time i open my laptop i do the following:1. plug in AC to laptop.. turn on laptop.3. unplug AC.3. laptop runs on battery.4. log on to windows.5. battery icon shows up as an empty charging icon then shows the "Battery is not detected" icon again.please take note that my laptop is still ON and WORKING. so this means (MAYBE?) that my battery is working.

Internet Connection Problems After Reboot Or Power Up
Jan 23, 2010Every time I power on my PC, or reboot, my Internet connection does not work for a few mins. Windows loads with out errors and shows the little blue circle on my Network Icon. Then the icon goes to a red x for a few mins, then goes to a Yellow triangle thing and then it goes away. After that the Internet works fine. Also, about every other day I get packet loss and random disconnects.
This is my network setup.
1. Windows 7 professional 64bit PC and an Acer Windows Vista 64bit home premium Laptop.
2. ASUS P5QL PRO LGA 775 motherboard with most current Network driver from Asus website.
3. D-Link DIR-655 Draft 2 Xtreme N Gigabit Wireless Router running from my cable modem to my PC and spitting wireless to my house. The wireless never seems to have a problem. I have not updated the firmware because of brick fears.
4. I have a Motorola SURFboard® Cable Modem SB5100. I own it and it's from about 2004. Not sure if that matters.
Troubleshooting I've done.
1. Unplugged the cable modem.
2. Updated the mobo LAN driver from ASUS website.
3. Rebooted Wireless router.
4. Plugged and unplugged all network jacks to make sure they are in tight.
5. Checked that cable is tightly screwed into cable jack in wall and in back of cable modem.
6. When the internet connection drops or shows packet loss I do the Ipconfig/release and Ipconfig/renew.
It's almost like after every reboot Windows 7 looses my network info and has to re-detect it all over again. It is really odd.
Occasionally Get No Internet Access After Power Up Or Resume From Sleep
Sep 4, 2012I have Win7 on my desktop PC, and sometimes when I start up the computer, it won't have any internet access. On more rare occasions, it will do the same thing when I resume from Sleep. Windows usually solves the problem by itself, but it that takes about a minute or so.
I know it's not the modem or the router, becuz other computers on my wi-fi network can access the internet even when the main PC can't. I did a search and found a few things about reinstalling Office 2010 or disabling IPv6, but that doesn't work for some people. Those posts are also 3-4yrs old, so it seems like there should have been patches

Oct 15, 2012My laptop is 1 year old and has worked great until a month ago. I was unable to connect to the internet and thru troubleshooting got a "missing network adapter". I have since upgraded the driver. I also purchased Registry cleaner program that supposedly found over 400 registry errors.I found by accident that I was able to connect normally if I turned the PC off by holding the power button. Then restarting, I got a message to start windows normally. When I did, and then it connected to the internet normally.Now, each night if I leave the power connected to the laptop and shut down windows from the Start command it works fine. I do not want to have to leave the power connected. Toshiba tech support is unable to help other that suggesting I return the PC to the "out of the box' status which is totally unacceptable to me.

(I read that somewhere recently, hehe)When I use my iphone, xbox, or any torrent program, my computer slows down and my mouse stutters for lack of a better term. It waits a few seconds before jumping to where ever it was that I moved my mouse. This is stopping me from using the computer when I watch netflix or anything else where data is being transfered.

Feb 16, 2013I have a little problem with my mouse for about a month now. I've tried looking around the internet but found no solution. During normal usage the mouse cursor would randomly slow down to a crawl then a split second later the cursor would twitch back in to "position" to where it was suppose to be. (I've noticed this is more likely to happen if the processor is busy ie: click on a link, loading page etc) I've tried everything I could think of, changing mouses, re-installing the drivers, resetting and even reformatting. But the issue always seems to come back. I am currently using my logitech G500, however this issue is present with the razer deathadder that I borrowed from a friend.

May 6, 2012I've been lately having some problems with my Alienware m15x gaming laptop. It used to work like a dream and all the games worked very well too. But now I've been expreriencing low fps (5-20) while it used to be 60-80, and the overall performance has been low too. This starts after about 1 hour of playing. I'm pretty sure it started after using wrong power adapter for 2 weeks. Now I'm using the correct one. I can't remember if I had the problem with the wrong adapter but I think it started after switching back to the normal. I've run virus scans (malwarebytes whole computer scan and flash scan, and whole computer scan with Avast) and they haven't found anything.
