    Hey guys,

    So tonight, having a bit of free time on my hands, I decided to undervolt my notebook. I downloaded RMClock and familiarized myself with everything. Then I started to undervolt, dropping the voltage from 1.175 to 1.162.

    That froze up the after about a minute, so I killed the machine and restarted it. This time, after it booted into Windows, I just ran Orthos and opened up CoreTemp to figure out my temperatures. It rose from around 43C idle to about 59C. I went off to play some Source on my desktop, and when I looked back the laptop was frozen, again.

    Am I missing something here? Kinda puzzled at this.

    Thanks for any help.
