Ok. I found another possible reason, did I? I read in several forums that HLT in KT333 chipsets of VIA is not enough to get the processor in powersafe and to disconnect from the FSB. You need to issuse the STPGNT command which also needs first to set some registers (because it degrades overall performance and so it's normaly disabled by BIOS). http://www.planet3dnow.de/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-80854.html (German)
It's called "Disconnect Enable when STPGNT Detected". And may cause other problems like sound distortion etc. because of high fluctuation in power current. There should also be a simmilar register for the HLT command. ??? http://www.rhcf.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=000078;p=0 VIA KT266/KT266A/KM266/KM266A/KT333 Rx92[bit 7 – enable] = Disconnect Enable When STPGNT Detected Rx95[bit 1 – enable] = HALT Command Detect offset 92 set to E8 or E9 VIA KT333CF/KT400/KT400A/KM400/KM400A/KT600 RxD2[bit 7 – enable] = Disconnect Enable When STPGNT Detected RxD5[bit 1 – enable] = HALT Command Detect offset D2 set to E8 or E9 Does this help?
