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.
