PowerMizer Manager

Earlier this week I decided I'd download PowerMizer manager, but unfortunately, the host website appears to be down permanently. And every download website only links to it, they don't host the file themselves, so I haven't been able to get a copy. I know there is another program that is similar, but I want this one since I don't want to keep overclocking and underclocking the card, it can disable and enable it without a reboot if I recall correctly. So I'm hoping someone on the forums has a copy of the installer that they could upload for me, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

My problem is that when playing games my screen freezes and it doesn't respond to any input, and makes rapid repeating noises. I know the 9800m GTS has a lot of issues with PowerMizer, so I want to see if that's causing my problem. Its not overheating. According to HWMonitor, after an hour of BF3 the GPU topped at 69* C. And it was the hottest component, so everything is cool. Except for the HDD, which hits 62* C, which I suppose it relatively hot for a HDD; but would that cause my screen to freeze and the OS to ignore all input? Any ideas?

 

because I care...

EDIT: lol... cant even attach 1Mb file here... lamesauce...

Thank you. I'll keep it disabled when I play games, hope that it fixes the problem. Although no one else has described having problems like concerning PowerMizer. I don't have any reports of the driver crashing either. But I can't think of anything else, the GPU isn't even close to overheating, nothing that has a sensor, aside from the HDD, is really that hot. Could bad RAM be causing this? I'll run a memtest sometime soon and see if mine is alright.

 

With the 9800m powermizer can cure alot of issues. The primary one being the switch ebtween 2D to 3D memory speeds. Other issues can be there as well though, so let us know how it works out............

 

I still have issues with my gpu (260m) it will crash at random moments when causally browsing-youtubing or some times at games (eve online, battlefield 3). the crashes will cause a black screen and then recover, and if this happens lots of times then it will go to BSOD

it never overheats.

a workaround that helps to minimize the driver crashes is to underclock core shader and memory clocks...

 

Are you using powermizer as off?

 

Well, disabling PowerMizer didn't resolve the problem, its still locking up. I think its the motherboard, nothing is overheating, no drivers are crashing, no BSOD which would make me think it could be bad RAM. I'm learning towards a faulty mobo. I'm going to keep trying to diagnose it though.

EDIT: Found it, the P-7908u board, those fit in the chassis for the P-7805u, correct? And does it still support the P8400 C2D, or do I need to get a Core 2 Quad for it? And what about my memory, will the P-7805u RAM work with the P-7908u board?

Thanks.

 

send me your old board if you plan on replacing it... terms ofc

 

I have tried powermizer of on AC/battery and only in AC, still experienced crashes. I think it has to do with the voltage change from 0.85 --> 1.00V

I tried to edit the voltages but i cannot extract the bios of the gpu with gpu-z.
Is this because the gpu shares the same BIOS with the mobo?

The change over to the P79xx board is 100% compatible. There will be some driver changes when you boot but all hardware is a straight change over..
