WINDOWS 7 64bit ultimate RTM RANDOM LOCK UPS

Fingers crossed this solves it, but then again, I like the power saver feature and dont want this to be a bug

So far it's running good, *knocks on wood*, lets hope for the best. Although usually by now, it would have locked up about 15 or more times by now...

so only being able to run prime95 for like 2min before my cpu hits 95-97 deg. is normal? it does not lock up just heat goes up very rapidly. whats the max heat for i940 cause i cant find a straight answer no where. ty antman

Your problem appears to be solved.

Prime95 is heating up your machine because, in this application (use of the technology), that is what it does.

Doc, it hurts when I do this.
Don't do that.

If you don't mind windew420, do you mind testing something else. Can you do as Dave said for me to do and change the Minimum CPU State to 100% and see if that produces a result like Prime95, minus the heat issue?

diablofan im not sure where that setting is in prime95 but yes when i find it i will try and post back.
also i am running prime95 right now and asus probe says 85c and real temp says 95-100c so im confused once again lol.

idle is like 55-60c

also i have power management off completly

Okay, here's where that setting is:

Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options -> Select the link called Change Plan Settings next to your currently active plan -> Change advanced power settings -> Processor power management -> Minimum processor state

FYI - RealTemp and Asus Probe read the temps from different locations on the die. IMO, Asus Probe is the lesser app.

allready at that

So your current power plan was set to high performance?

Odd, but oh well. Switched to balanced run ti normally, not Prime95 or anything , and see if your computer locks up.

what is ti
