Hi, I'm a new forum user and new Gigabyte owner, I just bought an EP45-DS3R and a EG45M-DS2H.
Just installed the EP45-DS3R with a Q9650 processor and 4 x 2GB Mushkin PC2-8500, running Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, BIOS version is F9.
If I enable the C4E enhanced halt instruction support, Vista reports this error:
"Idle power management features on processor 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware."
If I only enable C1E, then Vista is happy.
Is this a BIOS problem, or an OS problem?
Thanks
P.
