I have a HP 6735s laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
I generally have either the 'HP Optimized' or a 'Custom Plan' selected as my power option. However, for reasons unknown, the power option on the laptop changes to 'High Performance' randomly.
Some points to note:
- This happens if laptop is plugged in or on battery
- This happens if laptop is on stable or unstable surface
- This happens if i'm watching a film or if i'm running nothing at all
- I've ensured my drivers are up-to-date
- This happens across more than one user profile
- This also happens if just starting up the laptop or if it's been on for a while
...and the odd point:
- This occurs in what appears to be a sequence, i.e. the laptop will be on my chosen plan for a period of time then it will change to High Performance, after say 10 seconds it switches back to my chosen plan for 5 seconds then again back to high performance. This repeats three times but will then not happen again for 20-30 minutes where the same sequence repeats.
I've read that it may be an issue with internal wires getting caught up, however if this was the case, i wouldn't have thought the sequence would occur as described above.
If anyone knows why this is happening PLEASE let me know as it's driving me mad!
Many thanks in advance,
Matt
