How to Fix Your GSOD Blues

[Ownageful]

after i updated to this vios this my computer is getting random reboots..

[Chastity]

Hey,
tried the fix_od2. but my screen flickers. so i flashed the fix_od. It decreases the temps for about 3° C! The fix_od2 decreased them for about 6-7° C!!!! That was amazing.

Can you somehow make a bios for a cool running GPU in 2D Mode? As I can see the Voltages in the fix_od are slightly higher than in the second version. Is there a way to get the lower voltages by decreasing the frequencies? Or do we need 400MHz for working in 2D Mode?

Greetings!

Redownload it again... I did a few revisions over the weekend, and addressed the flickering issues.

ok, found the newer version.
but did you change anything else but the frequencies and voltages?
i think im gonna try RBE. ive got SSDs in my G73 and ill try to make it run silent in office.
but i think i need to repaste then....

Chastity,
what voltages did you try and what frequencies? I have tested some. im running on 275 MHz and 0.85V but i dont know, it seems that the RAM makes a lot of the heat. i just get significant lower temps when i derease the ram frequencies. but then the flicker-problem appears. the ram frequencies have to be identic in every mode otherwise it flickers while changing the mode. or did you find a solution for this problem?

greetings

I keep the memory timings on AC the same for them, and battery mode is separate. If you look at my current fix_od2.rom, you'd see that.

ok, so there is no solution for the flickering. what a pity. i dont need my ram running @ 1000 mhz in 2D mode...

what is the lowest voltage you can go? im running 275mhz @ 0.8. ill try to decrease it some more...

Actually, R&D has found that downclocking the memory doesn't save much, compared to the core.

The voltage is hardwired for 1.15v and 0.95v

ok, conclusion:
1) i wont save neither power nor heat when i set the voltage lower because the only two possible voltages are 1.15 and 0.95, right?

2) downclocking the ram does not save power, but do you know if it produces less heat when it is downclocked?

3) the only possibility to reduce the heat is by decreasing the mhz, is that right?

...and thank you for your help!

Yup, in the context of this discussion, that's it.

this update has caused my machine to have bsod's either on startup or when not in use.
