    Hi there,

    I am wondering if there is a way of getting Powerplay to disable in CCC by default. Everytime i reboot my G73JH the powerplay option enables again. When powerplay is checked I will get a GSOD on stock clocks, if it is disabled I never get one.

    I have Catalyst 10.6 drivers. Not sure if the same thing happens on other versions, but a good fix would be to set it so on boot powerplay disables. I just use the Power4gear plan Maximum performance. I have also updated the power4gear version to the latest version.

    Any advice?

    Cheers

    I'm confused on why it would do this- have you used modified BIOS or something else that drops it under 300/1000?

    In the short term you would just change your settings on every power option from "Conserve Battery life" to the "Performance" option.

    No Bios modding. For some reason if the "enable powerplay" box is checked I will get a GSOD. Without it checked it is rock solid at either 700/1000 or 705/1100. Temps are good to, never over 88 degrees after 2 hours of a game. I'm glad I read on another post to disable the powerplay to prevent some GSOD or I wouldnever have linked the two, and it irrefutably causes them on my unit.

    Interestingly it seems to be staying disabled the last two reboots, so will just make a habit of checking it till ASUS release less buggy powerplay/power4gear software!

    You could use AMD GPU Tool to create some profiles, and use that to lower/raise clock speeds as desired.
