I really can't find what's causing this issue.

Every time I load a page or open a new window it makes my sound go in a slow motion style, if you get me? It doesn't do it straight away when I boot up windows, it just randomly starts a few minutes afterwards.

I'll be listening to some music for example and it'll just stutter and be in slow motion for a couple of seconds until the window is open and fully loaded, same with a web page.

I've set minimum CPU power to 40% and Cool n' Quiet is off in my BIOS. 40% of my CPU should be able to handle 3 IE pages, windows media player and MSN. Surely?

Any idea's?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the athlon 64 x2 6000+
First I thought it was my motherboard because when I would turn on the computer the fans would go on normally, stall for a bit then go back to normal with a black screen. I tested the psu at that time with a tester and it tested okay. So I sent the motherboard in for a new one, or to get fixed. I got it back plugged in the psu and it wouldn't even turn on. So I tried another psu and It did turn on, so I ended up buying a higher power psu because that spare I tested with is not good enough for my gaming pc. I got the new psu plugged it in, fired right up but still no post, no beeps nothing. I took out the ram and it did beep at me so I think the motherboard is okay. I tried another psu still no beep. then I tried it without the GPU and I got it to beep but it was not a post beep its a little longer and has a stutter in it. I tried everything from resetting the CMOS to checking all the plugs. So I think its a cpu issue.

Hello All,

I recently installed Windows 7 Pro, 64bit, on a machine with a X2 4200+ (S939). All seems to be working well, except the CPU speed doesn't seem to vary according to load - i.e. Cool n Quiet doesn't seem to be working properly. (CPU speed measured using AMD Power Monitor v1.3.1) I've used "Balanced" and "Power saver" plans, to no effect.

An entry in the Windows System event log hints at an explanation:

Source: Kernel-Processor-Power
Event ID: 6
Description:
Some processor performance power management features have been disabled due to a known firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware.

This is the only error in the log.

However, the machine (see signature) used to run XP Pro, SP3. Cool n Quiet behaved perfectly on that - CPU speed adjusted automatically. So from that I take it the BIOS is compatible. Having said that, I can't find any settings in BIOS to enable/disable it.

It might be that it really is a BIOS incompatibility, or it might be that the processor driver needs a tweak.

Just thought I'd pass on the info. Maybe someone out there knows of a fix.

I have a computer with a AMD Athlon X2 processor on a ECS KN1 Lite Motherboard (nforce 4 chipset). Until now, i was using Windows XP SP3 without problems, using the AMD Driver Processor in order to get the processor properly working: It is know that windows had problems with AMD Dual Core processors, cause it used them like a normal 32 bit processor. In order to fix that, it was necessary to have the windows hotfix for AMD processors and the AMD Processor Driver and/or AMD Optimizer.

Now, i upgraded to Windows 7, and after using it a while, my computer started to shutdown randomly.
At first i though that it was a hardware/temp problem, but i tried to replace the PSU and the Graphic Card, but the problem persisted.
I also ran temperature checks, however it was fine (around 50-60 degrees and the processor can take to 70 degrees), and also tried a mem test (it passed without errors).

Then i noticed that the shutdowns happened specially when i tried to install a program... the shutdowns happened always during about 80% of the program installation. After that, i ran the SO in safe mode and tried again to install the program: It installed without fails.

So then, i figured out that the problem was the Windows 7, i reinstalled (and even tried two differents copies) but the problems persisted. So i reinstalled Windows XP SP3.
On Windows XP, i tried to install the same program and it works without fails... then, i installed both AMD Processor Driver (last version) and AMD Optimizer (windows hotfixes came already with SP3)... and tried to reinstall that program: It shutdown my pc

After that, i uninstalled both the processor driver and optimizer, and tried again: The program was installed without fails

So i think that there is a problem with Dual Cores processors on Windows 7.... (an XP too if you install one of those applications or both). I say this cause i already check PSU, Hardware, Electric system, Temperature, Memory, etc... and is a very high coincidence that the pc shutdowns particulary during the same point of the install process, with those drivers (or without on Windows 7).
Note that i never installed neither the processor driver or optimizer on Windows 7.

However... there always a possibility that the problem came for another reason, cause my brother has the same processor and Windows 7, and he doenst have any problem at all.. (we have differents motherboards altough)

Please advice or give your comments.

When I click on the game window: 1200-2500MHz

I just started monitoring my clock speed since I decided to do a modest Overclock. I think it is odd that the CPU throttles back during 3D gaming, it hasn't affected the game play that I know of...still quite odd.

You would think that the CPU would throttle up if you were using a 3D intensive situation.

The only thing I can figure is that since most of the 3D calculations are being done by the GPU, the CPU throttles back as it's not needed, but I thought AMD CPUs only throttled if AMD Cool and Quiet was enabled.

Anyway, any input would be appreciated.

Or, better still, monitor the CPU AND the fan.

I had an A8NSLI blew up the CPU because I ignored overheating warnings.

Now I've got another - but I no longer have something in the system tray that monitors the CPU and I don't know where I got that other one from nor where it is now, nor how/what/where to get something else.

What's happening is the fan is beginning to make a 'growling' sound. As best I can make out it is the CPU fan.

It starts off when you boot quite okay but a couple of seconds or so into the boot it suddenly switches into a higher speed mode - or sounds like it does, I can't visually see any difference. And that higher speed mode is when the 'growling' starts.

The growling is the result of vibration. You can even feel it in the case.

I assume the vibration is the result of the bearing of the fan giving way.

Can anyone help me out with some directions as to how best handle this problem?

I've removed the heatsink, reapplied thermal paste, cleaned any dust from the heatsink and fan, put it back on, taken the side off the computer case and it still gets hot if I do things like use Facebook apps or run an AVG virus scan. Playing games of course makes it do the same thing.

If I close the browser or anything that uses the processor, the temp starts dropping straight away till it gets to around 54-56 degrees celcius. So now if I want to do any of these things I have to keep Everest open so I can monitor the temp and if it gets up towards 70 degrees celcius I stop what I'm doing and wait for it to cool.

I haven't done anything new to my system for months, it just started doing this a month ago.

I get program crashes and freezing of the computer under two conditions.

Program crashes:
I can download videos from many sites with the program Miro.exe, but from one high quality source it crashes after a minute or so into downloading. The amount of time to crash is random. Miro support cannot find the problem but a few other people using their forum have had the same problem. Apparently it is a very rare problem but it is not unique to me. I suspect it is an interaction between the Miro program and some component of my computer, possibly the processor. (It works OK on my HP laptop which has an AMD Athlon xp.)

Computer freezups:
My computer freezes up any time my Acronis backup program tries to back up a hard drive. It happens at random points partway through the backup.

Windows XP-Pro,

In searching I found the following 2 upgrades / tweeks for this processor.

Is it OK to use them on the same system at the same time?

1) AMD Dual-Core Optimizer Version 1.1.4

The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.

2) AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver v 1.3.2.16 for Win XP / Server
2003 (x86 and x64)

Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination that match the instantaneous user performance need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to know if somebody could help with an issue I am experimenting on my computer.

I have an Athlon X2 5600+ Windsor, on NF61S Micro AM2 SE motherboard.

It has some heat issues: when put under some load (like compiling a program or encoding some media) its temp rapidly increases up to 100 °C and over if I do not limit the CPU usage of those processes manually.

But the most strange behavior is another one: I dual boot Ubuntu Linux 64bit and Windows XP Home (32bit, obviously).
Under Linux, normal temp is around 40-50 °C, fine I think (even if it increases as described upon when put on load).
Under WinXP, it is always over 80-90 °C, and, even with the system totally idle, it increases until the pc shuts down due to overheat.

I have already disabled on the BIOS the SmartFan.

So I monitored my CPU temp while playing TF2 and each core got up to 92-93c and it froze pretty shortly after that, they were both at 91c when it finally did. "Local Temp" on SpeedFan was inching towards boiling temp. While I'm not sure what exactly "Local Temp" is, I'm sure its not good that it's that hot.

Do you think this might be it? Just FYI the computer has never restarted itself, it just freezes (sometimes with looping sound, sometimes with no sound, sometimes with the music still playing, etc. all depends on the game).

If you do think this is the problem, how do I fix it? Its indeed caked with dust and I plan to get some compressed air ASAP, do you think dirt can account for such a high temp?]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=120474 2009-10-17T10:12:43 -05.00 sladar26 2 http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=120403 2009-10-16T00:35:08 -05.00 Kumag 2 http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=120385 2009-10-15T13:57:43 -05.00 msis007 1 http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=120362 2009-10-15T02:28:36 -05.00 RJanes110 7

Everythings been going great so far.

So today I decided to update my BIOS, I have an ASUS M3A78-EM (780G chipset). The flashing went great, according to plan, but just to make sure everything was ok, I installed CPU-Z, ran the program, and what do I find? that my CPU Core Speed was ~1358 MHz!.

Screen:



Now, just to make sure I made myself clear, this is the first time I've checked my CPU speed since installing Windows 7.

Under Windows Vista, my CPU speed was a solid 2.7 GHz 24/7. But that was under a different BIOS as well.

What is this? What should I do?

Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Black Edition @ Stock
ASUS M3A78-EM (BIOS revision: 2002)
Corsair XMS2 2x2GB DDR2 800 MHz
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate (soon to be vlited, hopefully)
WD Caviar Blue 320 GB 7200 RPM 8 MB Cache SATA II.]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=120315 2009-10-14T10:02:35 -05.00 Type6 2
The stutter will occur in games and other applications. If try to type something and hold a key down it will work for a few seconds then stop. Once I hit it again it will do the same thing. Say if I hold backspace it will delete a few letters then stop and so forth. If there's anything running in the background it will stop and stutter as well.
I also see it in games the game will run normally for 5-10 seconds then it will stop the sound will loop for 1-2 seconds and then resume running normally.

Now I know other users have similar problems, but nothing seems to work for me. I tried several different drivers. I tried using the Dual-Core Optimizer. I tried turning off Cool n Quiet in the BIOS. I read several forums and suggestions.

The funny thing is it only happens after I update the drivers. If I leave the default XP driver on things work fine and the stutter is not there. Why update then? Well certain games have timing problems and end up completely unplayable, some are to fast some have graphical anomalies or skip like crazy. Once I update those problems seem to be rectified, but then I get the annoying stutter.

I am at a loss as what to do. The only thing I can think of now is to flash my BIOS, but I just can't see how this could be connected. Any help would be appreciated.]]> http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=22&threadid=120116 2009-10-10T06:52:45 -05.00 isotopeneo 3
