I would like to ask you about my problem in Window 7 professional 32bit.I just reinstall it, and update it. But when I change Processor Power Management at 5% min and 80% max in power plan at both battery and plugin, so when I am in Windows everything works fine, but when I start a game in full-screen, this power plan will change to 100% for max and min, and stay like that. I change it as Administrator. It is on laptop Toshiba A300D.But before this last reinstall everything works fine.
I built a tiny yet powerful HTPC with the new sandybridge Intel i3 CPU. is there some kind of software that will turn off the spinning HD when it is not needed and only turn on if say a tv recording is scheduled for a certain time, record the show, and then turn the hd off again. it runs windows 7 64 bit, 8 gigs of ram, 2tb hd, blu ray burner.
Just got my new system up and running. My system drive is a 256 gb SSD, and I have two internal 3TB HDDs...one data and one backup. I also have an external 2TB USB HDD that I will use as a backup (albeit, less frequently than the internal backup). Because of the SSD, the power management for turning off hard drives automatically is disabled. This is recommended for running SSDs. Therefore, both of my internal HDDs are constantly spinning.I would like to find a solution to manage the HDDs, but at the least find a solution to turn off (or just stop spinning) the internal backup drive, since it is not used very frequently. It would be nice to do this with the external HDD, but I'll probably just unplug it when not in use...easy enough.I searched for any software/utilities to do this, but couldn't find anything. Other users have the same idea, but it doesn't seem like they found a software solution either. As of right now, I've determined my options are:
1) Manually unplug/plug internal drive. Requires access to the inside of the case.
2) Get a mobile rack for my case (eg Vantec), which allows me to remove the backup drive or just power it off from the mobile rack.
3) Wire in a power switch for the drive. Cheap, easy, simple.
4) Get an external enclosure that has a power switch on it.
Out of those choices, I would probably choose 3), just because it is cheap and I'm not adding more components that have potential for noise (like the mobile rack that has a fan in it).
A blue screen of death consistently appears to my system (Gamer PC Intel Core i7 2600K 120GB SSD 1TB 8GB GTX560Ti). It's code is the following : Stop 0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA800AC5F450, xxx, xxx). I have updated mobo's bios and ssd's firmware to the latest version. In my operating system -windpws 7 x64bit sp1- i have disabled the option of shuting down hard disk drives when not in use. I have done so following advices that i found in technical forums.
When I set the power management to turn off the monitor after x minutes, the monitor is off for 1 second and it turned on automatically. I am using msi ex600 laptop.
I have tried the following: * Unplugged the mouse * Exit from all application's running * Disable the network card
My bios and graphic card are updated. The hibernate option is working fine. Is there a way to find what turns on the monitor?
I can only wake my PC from sleep using the keyboard. How do I get it to do it with the mouse? My Logitech mouse does not have a power management tab under Properties.
When i try to look for power management bat for mouse in windows 7 i can not find it is not there (device manager /mice and another pointing devices/properties )
What is a BIOS? How do I access it? What is it useful for? Can I modify it? Should I modify it? Benefits from modification? anti-benefits? how to cool down hp dv6 PC; I understand that one could downgrade the BIOS; I understand that an F16 downgrade for hp dv6 would be good at keeping system cooler. Is this really the case?
Ok, my system is slowing down when I do large file transfers (transfer goes from 60M/s to 2M/s after zero io for about 10 min).
Anyway, I am now combing through the Event Viewer + resource monitor and I came across "event 35" with the source kernel-processor-power the text associated says "Performance power management features on process or 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer mfgr for updated firmware" - anyway I have a bunch of these errors.
Googled for 'event 35' and found nothing - anyone have more detail on this event and how to solve it?
The monitor seems to go into power saving mode when entering/exiting a game such as a game in steam. (But it doesn't happen every time) the only way to get it out is hard restart. Yes I've tried other monitors, as well as display drivers, and there also seems to be nothing wrong in the Bios.

In the last 2 days, my computer has been restarting whenever I loaded a level in a video game. Event Viewer shows Kernel Power critical errors (41, task 63). Basically, the error says something about insufficient or unstable power supply or whatever. I have a Corsair VX450 which is around 3 years old. I have a Geforce GTS 250 GPU, running at decent temps. My Q6600 also has good temps, so I think we can rule temps out as the source of the problem.
I will elaborate a bit more about the symptom: When a level is done loading and I hit START or whatever to start playing the level, that is, when the GPU kicks in, the PC reboots. I do have two audio drivers installed - one for the build in sound card and another for the non-built in one. I need them both, and I've had them both installed and running simultaneously since day one of using this PC. I did disable the built in one's driver, though. Is it possible that my PSU is no longer able to supply my GPU with the required power?
When I install a game in Windows 7 and Windows recognizes it it dumps the game's shortcut in the Game folder of the Start Menu. That wouldn't be a problem except Windows 7 prevents the game from creating the shortcuts it would have created had the operating system not been Windows 7- things like the game's Read Me, Uninstaller & Configuration options.
I've done a lot of searches using variations of the above title and came up empty or just plain missed the answer.I'd like to know, if it is not asking too much, the following points:
1. What exactly is the function of Link State Power Management in the Power Options Advanced Settings, PCI Express?
2. What are the implications of using the options available:
a) Off.
b) Maximum power savings.
c) Moderate power savings.
d) Which option is the best selection for my Dell laptop.
I use my PC for audio production and I have a few external controller devices that are USB powered, for example a midi keyboard. I recently had to build PC due to a theft....long story short after building the new PC I've noticed that my USB buses have continual power to these external devices after I've powered down the PC. My old windows 7 PC did not do this. Is there a setting I can change to shut off power to the USB buses when I power off the PC? Or is this a hardware issue?
i've tried to set the option for pressing the power button to 'Do Nothing' so no body can shut the computer, and yet it shuts down by pressing the button, so why is that and how can i work this out?
Over the past 2 years my PC has been afflicted with random power off/power on/reboot events.It will go for months without these and then have multiples of the events in a day. (I had 8 of them 3 days ago.)I assume I have a hardware problem, but nothing has been found and I'm grasping at straws.The time between power off and power on is several seconds.I had assumed this rules out a software cause, but maybe I'm wrong. I know Windows can schedule a power off, but can it tell BIOS (or something) to power back on in a few seconds?I know blaming the power supply is a much more simple explanation, but then I'm left with explaining the intermittent nature of the failure.
From many days the battery icon is missing from the taskbar, the notification icon is greyed out even if the laptop is not on AC. i followed the the tutorial System Icons - Enable or Disable but nothing happened.
My computer wouldn't shut down, even with holding in the power button, and so I just let it run out the battery. Then it wont turn on. I tried holding down the power button to clear out any charge that might be remaining. I have managed to get it back on, but I have to make a connection at the clip where you plug the power button ribbon into the mobo. Also, this is the second time I have had to do this. The computer works fine afterwards...or seems to anyway.
My daughter has a Hp laptop and it was working fine, but the screen was coming apart. so my husband put it back together, Now it will not come on. It's getting some power but not coming on at the power button. The lights flashes when you push the button then nothing.

I mean if i don't use partition all data (Programs, user data, Images, video, Music, ...) on one partition.I don't realy like that especial for backing up Data and System at deferent times and also for accessing data from a second operating system on same PC.So I use a second partition for User-Data (Private data, schools data, ...)and a third partition mainly for Media Data Pictures, Music and Videos Most of Music and Video is on an External HD.But in the folder "C:usersNAME" there are many folders like ".APP-NAME"and also Desktop, Download, My Pictures, .... I don't really miss them on my "Data" partition as my Musik is not in "My Music"my videos is not in "My Videos". But much applications "use" this Folders for default saving point or loading point,
