    I have a Gateway m675 XL. I recently discovered that you can succesfully underclock and undervolt your computer.


    I tried that.


    I downloaded ATI Tray Tool for starters and attempted to underclock it to 120:120. The benchmarking proved that it worked.

    I restarted the computer.

    Now it takes 25 minutes for my computer to startup and when i turn back the GPU to stock speeds. It's still taking 25 minutes to startup. Can someone help? thanks

    I think we should stick to one thread at the moment? :)
