[EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC|[EMAIL PROTECTED]| |m | ------- Comment #57 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-06-12 13:42 ------- I've just had a look at what Windows XP is up to as well. I had a look through the drivers visible in Device Manager. All the ACPI and other system devices are the standard Microsoft drivers, I don't see any Dell magic. To get a better idea what was going on I ran the I8KfanGUI software[1] with all its control options turned off - i.e. just using it as a monitoring app. What happened was extremely similar to the results of Matthew's patches - at around 96-98 degrees, the CPU speed would drop until the temperature recovered. Now it's possible, based solely on those results, that my checking the temperature sensors was causing the OS to notice the rising temperature when it normally wouldn't. But there must still be some logic somewhere that caused it to attempt passive cooling, without a _PSV trip point in the DSDT. Also, even with I8KfanGUI shut down, I still can't get the system to shutdown with 100% load and the fan outlet deliberately blocked.
