Resuming from s3 sleep changes clock multiplier

[Guest Carlos]

Here's an issue that I cannot solve.

 

System description:

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 with 790FX northbridge and SB600

southbridge

Processor dual core AMD 6000+ (x15 multiplier, real processor clock = 3000

MHz)

4 GB DDR2 800 memory in two sticks

Vista x64 SP1

All Processor and memory settings in BIOS are set to auto, BIOS is the

latest one (F6)

 

Problem description:

Every time I resume from S3 (suspend to ram) state the clock multiplier

awakes changed to x10 instead of x15, making the processor work at 2000MHz

(or 4000+).

This is reported so by both CPU-Z and AMD Overdrive and no other parameter

(memory, FSB, etc.) seems altered.

AMD Overdrive allows me to bring back the multiplier from x10 to x15,

restoring both the clock the smile in my face.

The problem doesn't seem to be related to my motherboard as I found a

similar one in http://www.tomshardware.com forums. No solution there, though.

 

Question:

Suggestions, ideas?

Re: Resuming from s3 sleep changes clock multiplier

 

What happens if you set the BIOS to it's default, and let it run like that

for a while + suspending/resuming? What is the default multiplier if you use

the defult settings?

 

CMOS battery?

 

What was the last bit of software that you added to the system? (The last

system change?)

 

I assume this is a Vista system - turn off suspend, then reboot delete

pagefile and defragment - reboot and turn everything back on? (Reboots,

should be 'cold'!)

 

Shots into the darkness, I confess!

Re: Resuming from s3 sleep changes clock multiplier

 

Tony,

BIOS is set to AUTO which yields x15 as default.

I am thinking to force it to x15 (no AUTO) and see what happens.

Last addition was AMD overdrive which, by the way, is the only tool I can

use for restoring the multiplier to x15 from x10 without rebooting.

CMOS battery brand new (brand new mobo)

Right now my biggest issue are the major Internet disruptions.

This single ISP makes me feel that I am really at an Island!

My connection doesn't stay up for more than 30 secs.

I have written this post in notepad and copied it to the clipboard for using

that small connection window.

:(

Tony,

I manually forced the multiplier to x15 in BIOS setup (no AUTO).

That fixed the issue.

Re: Resuming from s3 sleep changes clock multiplier

 

This is a strange one, Carlos, who would believe there was a connection -

having followed your equipment developing for quite some time, I did think

the MB was rather new'ish, but do not forget that when you buy something

'new', you really have no idea how much time it has spent in storage.

Moreover, if that item is battery powered, you have no idea how much time

the battery spent in storage before it was assembled. It may be close to a

year old without having been agitated much!

 

As you know, I have no experience from Vista, but I see enough problems

posted here that I can say: 'Suspension issues' with Vista does seem to have

appeared here before. Perhaps Vista IS having an issue here - perhaps it is

one of those items that we are forced to wait for WU to take care of, all in

good time?

 

On the other hand, did you notice the references I was making to the ACPI

and Disk related stuff? It is still a long shot, and even if that turns out

to be the problem it remains uncertain if my prescription will have any

effect at all - but, as you said, you are not the first one to have qualms

about this - my experience tells me, that will not prevent you from being

one of the early excavators to a solution.

 

I really cannot see any logical connection between ACPI and the Clock

Multiplier - perhaps, in the mean-time, you should go for a stand-by-suspend

and skip the disk part?

Re: Resuming from s3 sleep changes clock multiplier

 

Ah, good! Perhaps, then, I shall go over my own setup with a lice-comb,

because I have taken a liking to those 'auto' options wherever they seem to

make sense - maybe they don't?
