SP2: High power consumption after standby
Hi all
I got some problems after installing service pack 2. I hope you can help me with this one: I have an intel centrino laptop with windows xp professional and recently installed service pack 2 on it. Under normal circumstances, the laptop does not get very hot, and does not turn on the fans. Now, whenever it wakes up from standby or hibernation, it will get very hot and run the fans almost constantly, with greatly increased noise and battery consumption. Only after a reset will the power consumption be back to normal. This will happen even if no programs are runnning, and the task manager reports almost no processor activity, or memory access. No unusual disc access either. Using the SpeedswitchXP utility I found out that before standby, the processor speed will always stay below 600Mhz. After waking up, the speed will frequently spike to 1396Mhz. The problem persists with or without SpeedswitchXP runnning. How can I fix this? Thanks for any help |
