Windows 7 Beta & Centrino
Thank God I´ve found your forum!
I hope, anyone can help me... I´ve installed Windows 7 official Beta on my old Centrino Laptop. So far this works like a charm on my old PC, fast, reliable etc.
But I have one problem: the CPU (Centrino 1,7) always runs at its full frequency of 1.7 Ghz. The fan noise is quite annoying. I already tried Notebook Hardware Control with the matching ACPI set for my Laptop (FSC Amilo 1425) but NHC can´t change the frequency. The energy options doesn´t help either - I can use whatever I want, the frequency stays at 1.7 Ghz and the fan stays noisy. Under XP the processor is reduced to 600 Mhz when not in use (even without NHC), under Windows 7 this doesn´t work. Driver installation worked perfectly, my chipset from Intel (855PM) was properly recognized.
Did I do something wrong? Or are there other drivers? Thanx in advance.
