The problem of boot twice

you can check in BIOS [ boot from USB ] disable it.

That seems to have fixed longer boot as well as random reboot when booting.

Thank you!

So after flashing the new BIOS I have been getting longer boots. The laptop seems to get stuck randomly at the LENOVO screen, then reboot itself normally.

I did the BIOS 2.07 flash mod, I did install successfully a new WIFI card and my connectivity problems went away.

I don't mind the longer boot time, I'm just wondering if it could be a sign of something else going on or if this should be concerning.

Anyone experiencing the same?

My hardware: Y510p Model #59370012

Swapped HDD for Samsung PRO SSD 256GB

" WIFI for Intel 7260 AC + Bluetooth

Anyone knows if the crucial mSata SSD would fit? At first glance it looks like it, but ya never know!

Here is the link

It doesn't sound too different from what's out there already. Maybe they figured out a way to better use the space and fit s bit more hardware in there.

I'm also having issues with the Wifi, it's crazy to think you'd get such crappy performance in a well rounded laptop.

Even if I'm in the same room as the router, sitting in front of it, I get slow internet and it drops all the time.

My 2 Cents, if you are going to put an SSD do more than 120, otherwise there will be no room for anything in your PC. If money is not a problem then get a 1 TB SSD, and forget about everything.

Regardless of which type of storage and size you chose, you may want to review the settings on your OS and make sure it is aware that you installed an SSD. Tweak and adjust to your preference and enjoy.

For the msata drives, they are still a bit young. I'd wait a bit before getting one.

What about heat dissipation? How do you deal with all the heat?
