    This made me want to try undervolting. :p

    So I was able to get a stable volt for p0, but I can't seem to find a way to test p1 and p2. I am using orthos and it always runs at full clock speed of 2.3ghz even though I have selected p1 and have chosen 50% as max processor speed in power options. Should I be contented on the stress test while p0 is selected using orthos? Is it already testing all p states that way?

    Capping the processor state in Windows power options and then running Orthos worked fine when I was testing p1 and p2. You could try selecting p1/p2 and doing normal activities to test the stability.

    Thanks for the quick reply! I had been using my notebook for a while with the clock speeds down so I guess that could mean stability. :)

    For my max clock speed, however, I immediately got an error thru the Intel Burn test after setting p0 to 1.05 (but it was stable for 30min at orthos, guess I it wasn't enough). Setting it at 1.0625 was stable but I am getting 92 C max, which isn't much improvement.

    +rep, btw. :p

    Installed Windows 7 but it kind of sucks so I want to go back to Windows Vista. Anyway, the recovery is not working.

    The partition is still there, and it happened to me before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. Any ideas?

    Did you do an upgrade or a clean install? If you did an upgrade then you can just download the Recovery Manager from here and follow the directions once downloaded but if you did a clean install then I hope you made recovery disks.

    I have a question regarding with K10stat.
    I want to test use lower clocks,however doing it results to BSOD, could anyone tell me why?
    This is what I did...

    Core0 Core1
    P0 1800 1800 1.0250v
    P1 900 900 0.8750v
    P2 450 450 0.7750v

    These voltages where my ones working perfectly with my default speed settings.
    Which is 2.2GHz/1.1GHz/0.55GHz.

    Could anyone explain what I should do to lower clocks without BSOD?

    CHACKAN,

    Hold on, Win7 is a LOT better than Vista, especially dealing with the ZM-series powerstates...you WANT 7 on your lappy!
