Compiling ACPI v2.0 driver for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 SP2 (x32/x64)

@R1600

I do have HWMonitor installed on XP, that's where I got the 140W from in the screenshot.

Nothing about current CPU power state though.

@Damnation How about HWMonitor or HWiNFO? Seems like at least one of them supports XP.

HWiNFO certainly does support XP, it even works on Windows 98!

Hi , i install windows xp in my laptop dell N5050 and all necessary driver are installed successfully , but the audio driver not found for xp sp3

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_76D1&SUBSYS_10280504&REV_1002

there are many missed  in kernel32.dll and advapi32 and msvcrt to launch the service IDT audio

I think there should be some USB Sound Cards that will work with XP.

But this is a personal computer, and the USB card on the computer is not good visually and I will have to use speakers,

there is no solution for this driver with xp ?

[Dave-H]

There are drivers listed here which claim to be XP compatible.
Don't get your hopes up too much though as very often I've found that supposedly XP compatible drivers on sites like that are not actually compatible at all.

@WinWord2000

If you can get me a copy of the driver I can check if the .sys file has it's dependencies met by the ntoskrnl extender. If dependencies are met That'll give you basic sound output at least.

The bundled software still won't work though.

I compared my 5950X system with my threadripper, On threadripper the CPUs are installed but not on my 5950X. I'm quite sure that this is the issue, but I'm not sure how to get the CPUs installed in Device manager.

Any idea how to install them?

So my processors are in a new ACPI 6.0 container - linux talks about it here - https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-acpi/patch/1449065446-26115-2-git-send-email-sudeep.holla@arm.com/

Can you add in support for this to the ACPI driver?

edit: It's called "ACPI Processor Container Device" on Windows 11

and as "Generic Bus" on XP

@Dietmar

Do any of your boards have this "ACPI Processor Container Device" on them?

[Dietmar]

@Damnation

Until now, I have not seen this device.

But I notice,

that on all boards with the 12900k cpu the power consumption without doing anything is also about 40 Watt on XP

@WinWord2000

Make a try with this driver.

It is made for Dell Inspiron 5040

@Dietmar

The board I'm using that has this ACPI container device is an ASRock B550 Steel Legend.

If you can get one of these boards for yourself can you test it?

I see there is code for handling the "ACPI Processor Container" in the Windows 10 acpi.sys driver under AcpiProcessorContainerIrpDispatch

can you make an implementation of this for XP acpi.sys please?

I'd like my CPU to not consume so much power.
