When the CPU reaches 90c the screen flickers........GPU's fine as I test without stress it's already 90c anyways and no flicker..

Do you manage to note the throttled speed of your CPU?

I think under any circumstances, CPU throttle shouldn't cause flicker even if you use Intel's iGPU...

wow , it stays at 2.4 ghz when it flicker....it does not go down =X

Anyone here use Y510P 59-389546?
(1xGT750, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM, i7-4700)
Just got mine and found out it doesn't perform as well as i expected
Opening apps and right clicking is slow, slower than my desktop (i5- 2400, GTX 560 TI, 12GB RAM) is it because of hardware issue or window issue?

likely HDD problem.
scan for bad sector

Even new HDD also will have problem?
How do i scan for bad sector?

u shud delete mcafee, it works for me. haha.

The 1st thing i did is delete Mcafee and install AVG lol...

Ah, I forgot about that. Sorry.

Well yeah, assume that there's warranty sticker that prevent you to opening the back case. So, you have to go to Lenovo centre, or else your warranty will be void.

It's just that I received my laptop that didn't have any sticker blocking my Y480 back case. So I can upgrade my RAM / HDD / mSATA myself easily without scared of voiding warranty. I assume everyone here same with me. If this is same with you, so you can upgrade at the nearest (and cheapest) shop available.

A single 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM might cost you around RM120 - 140. Maybe more, maybe less. I'm referring the pricelist at Viewnet Low Yat here: http://viewnet.com.my/downloads/viewnet_diy_pricelist.pdf

Make sure to ask them for a 1600MHz DDR3, not 1333MHz. I'm pretty sure your current RAM is 1600MHz one, so you should take the same clock speed. Well it's not a problem to take the slower one, but your overall RAM speed will be reduced (of course performance also) because both will follow the lowest speed. I'm telling this because my Y480 seller also did the same mistake (and I forgot to check), so I need to went back to his shop to swap the RAM.

Agree with zuhaili87, assuming the reason because McAfee run file scanning in background that causing your apps and right-clicking runs slowly. Also, maybe there's a lot unnecessary start-up software running in background, but you can disable that easily using CCleaner. Also, maybe Windows 8.1 problem, for example here.

But yeah, maybe the HDD is the culprit (like Gregyong said). Try using chkdsk first (or any other harddisk health check program, eg TuneUp Disk Doctor) to prove it. It's unlucky for you if you receive the bad HDD.

Your laptop specs is so powerful, it should perform better than you expected, not the opposite.

possible, i had a customer with a faulty HDD on his Lenovo V480 on day one. Lucky he purchase with Onsite warranty, so he got his HDD replaced in 12 hours

To scan, just right click on HDD and click scan

ohh...thx for the tips!....anyway my Y400 is the older GT650m gpu, is there anybody know where to buy the ultrabay for SLI unit of gt650m

Hi anybody want to let go Y580/ Y500/ Y510p or Y400/ Y410p do pm me ya,

sincere buyer here

I cant find any at notebook sales thread yet though..

hi guys, anyone knows where I can get the Lenovo Y510P ultrabay with caddy for another HDD? I was told to order from lenovo, not sure is there any in Penang? And how much is the estimated price? My unit is the single GTX750 with DVD drive.

I was thinking to install Samsung 830 128GB SSD on the primary drive, while the 1TB HDD on the secondary (ultrabay caddy).

Please assist thanks!

hi guys, i have narrowed down my options between y410p and y510p, all specs are same, just 14' HD and 15.6 FHD

i am a moderate gamer, like to play games like BF4, codG, AC4 etc, its it true that y410p 14' hd screen isnt that good? and y510p will has better cooling system cos of larger size?

which one do you guys recommend? many thanks

I would say it's down to your preference... I dont think there's any performance advantage except for the fact it can squeeze more framerate due to lower resolution.

14" is smaller, easier to carry around... screen is not full HD so you will not be able to play games on 1080p though I dont think you really need it on 14" screen... in result, better framerate...

15.6" is bigger, might be a little heavier to carry around but still not that heavy that you can't move around. It has extra num pad on the keyboard, 1080p screen though I find that 1080p vs 720p isn't much of a difference on the screen (i mean pixelated stuff due to stretching)... could be just my perspective... but I always game on 720p resolution for the better details quality without sacrificing much of framerate.

so really, it is actually down to your preference... what kind of usage you are looking at... you like big screen? go for 15.6"... need to be mobile lot more often? 14" is the way to go...

Yes bro you hit my point , i really need the mobility thus have to choose y410p although i really like 1080p FHD viewing experience for y510p but 15.6' i think is way too bulky to fit in my bag.

Thanks for your suggestion mate, appreciated

Y410P
1600x900
1TB HDD + 24GB SDD

Reporting in

Booting up my Lenove Y580 seems slow. Using the original preloaded Windows 8 and my laptop does not have a SSD.

I plan to do a clean OS install but how to do it without losing the preloaded Windows 8 license?

Any ideas?

Go Settings/Change PC settings/update and recovery.

Basically its recover your win 8 to default like a newly installed computer like when you just bought it.
