Interpreting Event Viewer messages?
Get this on a regular basis, separate error message for each of the 4 cores:
"Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Processor-Power Date: 17/07/2015 22:30:19 Event ID: 37 Task Category: (7) Level: Warning Keywords: User: SYSTEM Computer: Laptop Description: The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report." This is a fairly new Acer laptop with Intel I5 4 core CPU, 4GB RAM and 1TB HDD and since buying it has seemed to me a bit sluggish. I am fairly meticulous about regular cleanup, defrag, malware & AV scans, startup programs etc. OS, BIOS & drivers up to date. Clicking the more info link in Event Viewer tells me no info on that error. Is this the cause of the sluggishness and what if anything can I do about it? Any advice appreciated. Kenny Cargill |

Kenny Cargill It's probably generated by your Power plan (reduce processer speed to save your battery). I had a Gateway that would almost constantly run in reduced speed mode, but would kick it up when necessary. It, too, at times seemed to be a bit sluggish. You could change how slow it gets in your power settings and see if that helps with the sluggishness, but at the cost of battery time. My desktop AMD also runs in reduced cycles for the most part, but it doesn't lag at all. Not sure if there's a BIOS setting for that or not. Might be worth checking :-) -- SC Tom |

Never thought of Power Plan, have changed it to High Performance, it was set
at Balanced. Too early to say if it's making a difference. Not concerned about battery usage since it's mostly used plugged in. "SC Tom" wrote in message ... "Kenny" wrote in message ...

Otherwise, come the day you do want to use it on battery, you may find it's become rather poor at holding charge ... |
