dv2000 owners- are you using NHC or RMClock?

I prevously had a dv1000t, and had installed Notebook Hardware Control, which worked fine.

When I upgraded to the dv2000t, I installed NHC.

I began to have problems starting up my computer when I was installing all of my programs onto my new computer. I ended up tracking it down to NHC, so I removed it, and had no problems since then.

My question is, are dv2000t users using NHC without problems? I have a Duo Core T2250 (1.73GHz) processor with 2MB of ram, if that matters.

Could dv2000t owners let me know if they've installed NHC or if they use RMClock without problems, and if so, which processor their machine has.

Also, if you're using NHC, is it the latest version?

I'd like to reinstall, but don't want to recreate problems.

Thanks!

 

I tried both programs and they ran stable without any issues. Have you undervolted the cpu?? If you have might be one of the factors for your problems. What kind of problems did you experience, is it a blue screen, freezing or unexpected shut downs?

BTW, I used NHC Beta and the latest version of RM Clock.

 

Computer would boot up, then unexpectedly simply shut down, before it completed the boot up process.

Like I mentioned, this was during the time I was loading all of my programs, files, etc. onto my computer, so when it caused a problem, I spent some time to determine what was causing my laptop to not complete the boot up process, and once I determined it was NHC, I simply removed it and continued installing all of my files from my (retired) old laptop.

Now that I've been using my dv2000t for over a month, and it's totally stable, I'm thinking of reinstalling NHC or RMClock.

 

rmclock 2.1 works very well..so far from what i've heard nhc 2.0 isn't quite ready yet

 

In simple terms, what is the benefits of using RMclock? I just googled it but I'm still not sure what the realized benefits are... Is it just a monitoring program?

TIA,

Mike

 

It can be used as just a monitoring program, but many people use it to undervolt the cpu, which will help in reducing the heat output as the power going to the cpu is reduced. It is fairly safe but if you set the voltage to low then the computer will crash or BSOD. But if it is done correctly it will reduce the heat output especially when you are running full tilt with the cpu.

Might be an issue with the older version of NHC, try the latest beta or RMC and it still creates problems then it might be software conflict with one of your programs.

 

Thanks Minor
Yeah, I'll give it a try. I liked using NHC on my previous lappy...
