    Hi!

    Just installed RM Clock, was going to try undervolting.

    Installed... fire up the program. Start doing what I'm told (in this thread), and pof! - Out of nowhere - the program closes.

    It happens all the time, without me doing any changes. Sometimes after 10 seconds, sometimes after 2 minutes. No matter if during load or not!

    Any ideas?

    Specs:
    M15x (purchased Sept 08)
    X36 BIOS
    2x2.5Ghz
    Win XP SP3 (running smoothly)

    First of all - I thought I was in Hardware section. Mods may please move from Alienware to Hardware.

    Second. I removed the P-state from instruction in 3/i, - Tick "Use P-State Transitions" for both AC Power and Battery, and now it works... Edit again: Or so I thought. Same thing again. RM Clock closes.

    Argh! Finally! (I hope!)

    It seems it was the "Enable Dynamic FSB Frequency Switching (DFSS) in the Advanced CPU settings that was causing this mess. And it was checked by default on my system, so I'm not to blame ;)

    I recieved the screenshot that lead me to the answer from this thread..

    Thanks.

    And mods may close this thread!
