Solving computer problems

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.
