Solving computer problems Solution: Be sure that the disk meets the standard for your country. Usually, a disk that meets the local standards is marked with a CD logo (as shown below) on the label. If you use a disk that does not meet these standards, we cannot guarantee that it will play, or that, if it does play, the sound quality will be good. Problem: The system shows slow performance. Solution: This problem may occur when the ac adapter is not attached. To prolong battery life with the higher frequency of Intel's Pentium 4/Celeron processors, the ThinkPad G40 implements the Dynamic CPU Throttling feature, which reduces CPU frequency dynamically: 1) when the system operates in battery mode; 2) when the system increases power consumption; 3) when system temperature increases. To avoid or reduce this problem, do one or all of the following: 1. Attach the ac adapter. 2. Close applications not being used. 3. Try to lower system temperature by increasing the fan speed with the Battery MaxiMiser Wizard with Fan Control. Problem: Playback of DVD is not smooth.

Solution:
Be
sure
that
the
disk
meets
the
standard
for
your
country.
Usually,
a
disk
that
meets
the
local
standards
is
marked
with
a
CD
logo
(as
shown
below)
on
the
label.
If
you
use
a
disk
that
does
not
meet
these
standards,
we
cannot
guarantee
that
it
will
play,
or
that,
if
it
does
play,
the
sound
quality
will
be
good.
Problem:
The
system
shows
slow
performance.
Solution:
This
problem
may
occur
when
the
ac
adapter
is
not
attached.
To
prolong
battery
life
with
the
higher
frequency
of
Intel
’
s
Pentium
4/Celeron
processors,
the
ThinkPad
G40
implements
the
Dynamic
CPU
Throttling
feature,
which
reduces
CPU
frequency
dynamically:
1)
when
the
system
operates
in
battery
mode;
2)
when
the
system
increases
power
consumption;
3)
when
system
temperature
increases.
To
avoid
or
reduce
this
problem,
do
one
or
all
of
the
following:
1.
Attach
the
ac
adapter.
2.
Close
applications
not
being
used.
3.
Try
to
lower
system
temperature
by
increasing
the
fan
speed
with
the
Battery
MaxiMiser
Wizard
with
Fan
Control.

Playback
of
DVD
is
not
