Thanks again! - Silvaran 00:05, 16 August 2006 (UTC) Reply I spoke too soon. As I type I have the SpeedFan util you recommended open, it shows both fans (case and CPU) at 40%, and the temperature is flatlined-it's not creeping upwards over time even though the computer's idle. I ran one of the CPU monitoring utilities before rebooting and noticed the frequency stuck at 2.2GHz per core. I also grabbed a few monitoring utilities from the site. With my above assumptions I downloaded the CPU driver direct from AMD, installed it and rebooted. I'm going to see if I can find an updated driver or something, but that's my best guess at this point. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the CPU, and frequency scaling not working properly. mak o 05:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC) Reply I found the app quite useful, thanks. If you can't find the original app, SpeedFan is worth a shot. There are also no unknown devices listed in device manager so I can't simply trial-and-error the drivers.Īny ideas? - Silvaran 01:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC) Reply Might be a custom app that talks over the SMBus. The only driver HP provides on their site is for the BIOS (which is already up to date on the motherboard), and I can't find appropriate drivers anywhere on the recovery partition. I downloaded a driver pack from MSI, but the only drivers that worked or were installed were the video and SMBus driver. It has an MSI-7184 (or something like that) motherboard with an ATI Express 200. The computer is an HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n Desktop PC (whew). I'd be willing to bet it has something to do with missing drivers for the motherboard, but I can't seem to find them. I'm finding that all the fans in the case power up as the OS is booting and stay powered up until shutdown. I wiped it, and installed from a subset of the recovery discs (they basically modify the boot files of the Windows install so you can't install without running the entire recovery, but they also include a backup of the modified files). Friend of mine just got a new machine, and the amount of software installed on it was disgraceful.
