[Jimmyd7377]

Good Morning to you all,

First time Poster, Sterling job your doing here! Came across you after event viewer issues and got your tweakers windows fixer thing. now that issue fixed I now get this.

#Some processor performance power management features have been disabled due to a known firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware.

Doing Google search for firmware updates and get nowhere just people trying to sell me driver software. Please help me Knights who say Nee!

And lastly I thought I would share something off topic and highly disturbing: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=959121

To the best of my understanding there are many different things that can contribute to this error and the fix or workaround may depend on the information below:

Need more info please:

What brand/type of computer are you using?
Desktop/Laptop?
Which OS/Ver Vista Ult/ Windows 7 Home Pre etc?
What motherboard brand is installed?
What is the current bios version?
What proccessor does your PC have?
Is the PC crashing (BSOD)?
Does Sleep and/or Hibernation work?
What have you tried doing if anything?
Please post any dumps in C:\Windows\Minidump and/or MEMORY.DMP in C:\Windows (compressed to a zip file)

Some things to try:

Updating your bios firmware.
Disable sleep/hibernation.
Go to Control Panel > Power Options > Under your power plans choose "Change plan settings" > change advanced power settings > expand Processor Power Management > set both min and max to 100% and if it exists set System Cooling Policy to passive.
Go into your bios settings and enable Intel Speedstep (EIST). (check for bios update first)
