Guest Dario Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Hello. I am looking for a solution to using the powermanagment drivers from AMD with a dual core opteron on a Win2003 SP2 system. SP2 seems to be the problem? Any know if Microsot has a solution for Win2003 SP1, similar to the fix for Win2003 SP1, to support AMD PowerNow driver (Cool'n'quiet) for dual core Opterons? It sure seems like Win2003 SP2 does not support ACPI processor performance states (effectively no support for AMD PowerNow! in SP2)? The problem occures after a while using the latest AMD PowerNow driver (also happened in SP2 with previous drivers). The system stop error logged is 0x000009C similar to KB924441. Ref. to support for Win2003 SP1 (KB924441): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/924441 Regards, David Details of my case: - BIOS is set for Cool'n'quiet. ACPI 2.0 is activated in BIOS as well (even though that should not play a role in this case?) - The system will eventually crash with a stop error if I simply install the PowerNow drivers for dual core Opterons. - With PowerNow drivers installed, before Win2003 SP2 crashes, AMD Power Monitor can however verify that the cores in the CPU are under power management from the AMD Powernow driver. - If I uninstall the AMD Powernow driver for the CPU, the stop error stops occuring. The problem occures after a while. The system stop error logged is 0x000009C similar to KB924441. Mono is Asus AV8-VM.
