    I have my computer underclocked with RMClock and that works great until the comp comes out of sleep and/or hibernate mode. When everything powers back on, the cpu is running at its full clock speed at the 9x FID multiplier and never resorts back to its lowest power state. I've disabled RMClock to see if the program was causing the problem and same result.

    I'd like to be able to use the sleep and hibernate functions without the computer running at 98% cpu usage all the time.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I guess no one else has this issue. Anybody have an idea of what may be causing it then?
