  1. Laptop balanced power plan or power saver


    My laptop vents has no dust and foreign matters, also i have cooling pad. But when cpu going to 100% caused by update, maintenance, etc, it can hurt my 6 years laptop. Since the temperature can be mesured in 3rd patry app called core temp it rise about 75% when heavy load, games etc, and about idle is about 57 to 65 celsius. It happen since my laptop is new about 2014, then i always turn to power saver than balanced since 2015 so the temperature will be about 40 to 55 celsius when cold weather and 58 to 65 c when hot weather. Also i'll rarely turn to balanced if necessary But power saver is safe? And harmless?

    Thanks

    :)

    beeping when screen turns off in balanced/power saver plans

    I have Lenovo ideapad300 15ibr laptop with Windows 10 64 bit.

    When on battery in balanced and power saver plans after the screen turns itself off after set time idle there is a beep like when the computer turns on and a sound like a drive spinning up. It then goes quiet and every 20 seconds or so another beep and the
    drive/fan spins up and then goes quiet again.

    Strangely this does not happen in High Performance power plan even if all advanced settings are set to the same as either balanced or power saver. It also does not happen when power cord is plugged in.

    It does not happen in safe mode and so I tried disabling the Intel HD driver which gives the same look as in safe mode but in normal windows the problem remains.

    All drivers appear up to date.

    Is this a feature of windows 10 that it tries to shut down the hard drive when the screen is off and spin up when needed and it just so happens that this makes my laptop beep.

    I can work around this by creating my own power plan based on the high performance plan or by setting balanced and power saver plans to go straight to sleep rather than staying on with screen off.

    I am wondering whether this is a windows issue with a solution or a sign of a hardware problem that could get worse over time e.g hard drive failure

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Laptop balanced power plan or power saver

    Power Plans missing

    Thanks, but the issue still persists.

    I made a custom plan named "Intense". In Mobility Center I see, Balanced, Power Saver, and Intense. Now if I choose Power Saver, all three shows up in Control Panel (no High Performance though). But if I choose Balance, the Power Saver goes missing again.
