Pentium M Processor stuck on 600Mhz

post #1 of 11

Thread Starter 
My new lappie is producing benchmarks significantly lower then the specification should produce (1.8 PM with 128MB ATI Radeon). The 3D Mark 2001 score is only 7446.

When I examine my system information I see the processor is identified as running at 600Mhz. This does not 'step-up' during intensive operations.

I installed the Intel Speedstep utility and it has confirmed the maximum clock speed of the processor is 600Mhz.

I am sure this is a driver/software problem and not a hardware issue. Has anyone experienced this and can anyone offer me a solution?

Aha! I went into CMOS and 'Enabled Geyserville Support' (whatever the hell that is) and the processor is now showing as 1800Mhz. I have just re-run 3D Mark 2001 and this is the score I get...

10,110

Hoorah!

But what the hell is Geyserville support?

Can anybody help me?
In my BIOS (latest update) there is no option as 'Enabled Geyserville Support' and my computer is stuck on 600Mhz. In BIOS the CPU is set to 'Always High'.

Is there any jumper or something to enablethe CPU to run on his normal speed?

Thank You

The matter can be very technical. I have a pentium M 1.3ghz that was sorta like a engineering sample, didn't have the retail or oem cpu marking codes. It was stuck at 600mhz on my bros ecs g551 no matter what. However it runs full speed on my aopen 1557gl. The big difference is usually the bios. I believe some bios were programmed with more cpu code support than others, thats cause some laptop manufacturers were just lazy.

Try installing Speedswitch XP and see if you can force it to go to the full multiplier...

toshiba satellite pro m30 series

This is my laptop http://es.computers.toshiba-europe.c...0&DISC_MODEL=0

I have tried SpeedswitchXP but also nothing. I put the latest BIOS version 1.50 from toshiba and still nothing.

The computer was not bought new, so I dont have any warranity.

Is there any tool to modify the multiplier on my CPU. A friend of mine which has the same model exactly, cpuz report 15x multiplier. At mine is 6x.

Can anybody help me please?

Thank You.

I also had this problem with my Dell. After I had installed SpeedSwitchXp on my Dell I had to change the poweroptions scheme in the control panel to Speedswitch Control.
