Finally, I found a tool to explicitly control the CPU multiplier & voltage, called ThrottleStop. With my processors disabled (through Safe Mode), and ThrottleStop installed I'm now running the laptop with a multiplier of 10x and a Voltage ID of 1.175 Apart from needing to run from battery...

Adding yet again to this seemingly endless saga: The clock speed does *not* remained fixed at 1995 MHz in Win7 x64 when the processors are disabled through device manager. On next reboot, the CPU speed was back to ~750 MHz (which is clearly useless). Since I still think it is CPU speed...

Further continuing; in Win7 x86, if I re-enable the processors in safe mode, but explicitly set my power options to limit the processor max and min to 50%, CPU-Z again informs me that the core speed is 798 MHz. Again, the computer does not reboot when running of AC at 798 Mhz. If I increase the...

So having reformatted the machine back to Win7 x86 just for the hell of it, I used CPU-Z to examine the consequences of disabling the processors in safe mode. In Win7, x86, CPU-Z reports (and performance tests confirm) that the result of disabling the CPU entries through safe mode is that the...

Ok, continuing. Reinstalled the machine with Windows 7 x64 Set the machine to 1 processor, dynamic - still got reboots on AC power Switched back to 2 processor, dynamic; booted into safe mode, opened Control Panel, Device Manager, expanded 'Processors', right-clicked on each processor and...

Ok, so continuing - and running Windows 7 x86. In the bios, I switched to only using one core, and 'always low'. Even when connected to AC, it has not yet rebooted on these settings (mind you, that's only about 4-5 hrs of testing) but the computer is appallingly slow to use. When I set the...

I've been having what appears to be a related problem. This is on a Toshiba A200 PSAF6A-07G01N, about 2.5 years old. A few months ago, the machine began spontaneously rebooting (presently at least a couple of times a week; it has been progressively more frequent, I think). The machine simply...
