AMD's Cool N' Quiet power management system are for desktops. The
mobile equivalent is called PowerNow!
In any case, there's still no such setting for my laptop's BIOS. So for
people in the same rut, just follow Sitsofe's tip:

By the way, I've never had any lockups since disabling CnQ/PowerNow!

Mine is a Phoenix BIOS
AMD Cool'n'queit is under 'Power Management setup' just in case you missed it.

Just the same, in the BIOS, a turion is an AMD product, 64 bit I believe.
Mine is an Athlon 64 3200.

You're correct, Turion is the mobile 64-bit proc of AMD.
I've tried looking for a setting to disable cool n quiet in the BIOS of
the MSI s270. No such setting available.

I also was experiencing this problem. I've been up for 2 weeks now with
no white screens. I am using a similar board as Toadmund and have the
ATI radeon Xpress 200m onboard video. I'm running Feisty AMD64.
Shutting off the Cool 'n Quiet in the BIOS has kept it from happening.

Is there a way to disable cool n quiet feature from a laptop using a
turion processor?
I'm using the MSI S270.

Hi there, I am the originator of one of the posts above, and a poster in the

What did I do?

Confirming the same bug on my HP zd7000 laptop with nvidia-restricted-
glx powernowd. In my case X.org was was pegging the CPU after no
keyboard use for ~30 minutes, eventually locking the machine. The same
thing would happen if I locked the workstation. Definitely seems to be
related to ACPI
Thanks for the suggestion piechan, but I have not noticed that message

I had the same problem. Ubuntu 7.04 crashed very frequently – several
times per hour(!). If you see the error message 'MP-BIOS Bug 8254 times
not connected to IO-APIC' at boot up you probably need to activate the
noapic option in /boot/grub/menu.lst as described in

You can check yourself. If you don't see any crashes with the nv driver when
powernowd is running then the odds are there is a problem with the nvidia
binary driver. I have seen a range of laptops/desktops with i915 cards running
GL programs which do not suffer this problem (and are

RJ, yoasif:
Thanks for plugging away on this issue. You may have discovered a workaround
for a few other NVRM: Xid sufferers. It might not be the cause in every case
but it's something to bear in mind. Setting to confirmed based upon RJ and
yoasif's feedback.
** Changed in:
By the way, whatever the issue that is affecting me (that disabling
powernowd seems to fix) is a multi-distro issue (I had it in SuSE 10.2
as well), so I think it also affects upstream.
Just something to keep in mind.
