tubui Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I installed a 3ghz Prescott Processor and ever since, everytime I come back from idle, my computer lags. I tried to install new BIOS but when I clicked it, I get "Unknown chipset" and all that junk.Can anyone help.

cyberloner Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 it have an option in bios as same as cool and quiet K8/K9 stuff....it drop the cpu speed when idle... u should check at the bios and disable it.... i forgot what it is call ....
ringfinger Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Its called Intel SpeedStep Technology, and I'm not entirely sure that is the issue. If the computer is idle, it would obviously step down yes, but once active again and in need of CPU it would step back up. So you have anything running in the background? Have you tried scanning for virii & spyware? Defrag? Pagefile?
tubui Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 Yes I did like. Say I leave idle on AIM over night. I come back, its so laggy I gotta wait for 15 minutes ++++ to even get it to settle.
