Thinkpads Forum

Thank you all in advance for any help you can provide. I am new to this forum and I just do not know where else to turn or at least point me to the correct forums to post.

I just got my new T420 and I cannot enjoy it for the following reason. Under power options, I created a custom balanced profile and set my Processory Power Managment settings to

-100% for Maximum processor state on battery and plugged in.... and

-5% for Minimum processor state on battery and plugged in.

Everytime i put my computer to sleep, hibernate, restart, shutdown, etc the maximum processor state always resets to 5% on on both plugged in/battery,

This means I cannot enjoy my new PC at full 100% processor state ever. Is there a startup program that affects this? I am running NVidia 4200 and Intel chips.

Is there a chance the Lenovo Thinkvantage power manager is interfering? Even the advanced settings. I have troublkeshooted every setting on both to still get the same result.

Is anyone aware of have any input onto this?

Thank you so much in advance. I am really desparate. :catsad: Lenovo support has not experienced this problem prior when I called prioirty support.

I would just try removing the Thinkvantage power manager to see if that helps. You can always re-download it from Lenovo.

Often such issues are addressed in BIOS updates, Windows updates, or Lenovo updates.

If you have the T420 and not some variation...
