Cannot disable EIST (Vista 64)

[Guest Phil Pendlebury]

Hi there,

 

I have a small problem but I believe it may be the root cause of a bigger

problem. I use my machine for digital audio work so I really need speed

stepping turned off.

 

I have disabled EIST in the motherboard BIOS.

 

However, Vista 64 still appears to be stepping the cpu speed. (According to

CPUZ - I can actually see the cpu speed halving until I load the system).

 

Please not again: I HAVE DISABLED EIST on the mobo BIOS and Speed Stepping

does not appear ine th power options within Vista itself.

 

Thanks for any help or advice anyone can offer.

 

:-)
