4535s - couple of power/performance problems

[Alex_1990]

Hello! Please, don't send me to the enterprise community, cause I'm just a home user, thanks)

It's my parents's notebook, so I have a remote access only. But it's enough to face a couple of nasty problems. I don't know what's exactly the reason of this - may be the recent BIOS update, or complete-drivers-update, or may be the new battery.

1) The new battery. When I insert it the FAN/cooler goes to 100% immediately. Yes, it chills out the CPU, 35* is pretty cool, but that noise is nightmarrish. Original bat. does not produce such troubles - FAN is ok and adaptive with it. Is it a kind of protection against non-original batteries? Not so friendly, HP, I should say! My *another_brand_name* notebook works with the replacement battery as perfect as with original.

2) The new battery again. It wont charge when the computer is ON. Moreover it slightly discharges. I should switch the comp. OFF to charge the BAT. You may think the battery is dead, but after charging I can work few hours on-battery, so the health is perfectly O.K. Special utilites shows ID, serial, normal voltage, normal capacity, so it's controller is not mad. Everything is normal, but it doesn't charge. The old one does.

3) The CPU. It won't speed-up. Even in the extreme system-burn tests it's still 800 MHz ! ! ! ! No HP- or other utilites installed, just a build-in system powermanager at max. perfomance settings.

4) The disk. The main problem. I've upgraded to SSD OCZ ARC 100. Now look. Diagnostic says that I have Sata2 controller. But the motherboard looks like it support Sata3. Then here Eugeny shows his 4535s benchmarks and please notice his extreme 622 MB/s speed!! Which indicates Sata-3 definitely. He must have the same model as I. How can I get that results????? My benchmarks barely achieve 230 MB of about 450 allowed by OCZ ARC. (Bios sata mode is not IDE, checked).

5) The disk and the CPU.  Working tightly with the disk, like copying files, I have 60-80-100% CPU loading. It's not interrupts!! It's Explorer or another working program (firefox, etc) plus "System" (~20%). I've tried Amd sata drivers ver. 2011....2015 and system build-in - no luck. Just 15% benchmarks difference...

6) I was going to write everything that I think about Hp engineers (after all the time I spent).. But having in mind I'm on the official Hp site, hehe, I'd better keep it inside. Withal they make quite good server solutions. So, what's wrong with the notebook division and especially with this exemplar? Thanks..
