"Standard PC" - Install = geen "geavanceerde" power management?
 

Ik heb dus mijn pc begin deze week geformateerd en voor de verandering heb ik op F5 geduwd bij het booten en gekozen voor "standard pc". Nu mis ik enkele opties zoals

- standby
- mooi afsluiten van windows als ik op de shutdown toets duw
- ...

Wat kan ik doen om al deze mooie (ACPI- (?) )functies te activeren zonder een volledige reinstall te moeten doen?

FYI: 't Is Win XP Pro

Start -> Control Panel -> Power Options -> TAB APM -> Enable Advanced Power Management

Reboot
BIOS : check if you can enable APIC
Reboot
Hit F5 en choose MPS Uniprocessor

If you cannot enable APIC => hit F5 en choose ACPI

This works during a reboot? I thought it was only when installing a windows 2k/xp?

You are right ChAos :)

Enabling/Disabling APIC has nothing to do with power management.. did you try the control panel yet?

... but when using the MPS Uniprocessor the power manegement works like before.
APIC + MPS unip. = 128 IRQ's

first suggestion of JMke is easier .... of course

Yes I tried with the APM thingy in control panel, but the power off button still doesn't shut down windows in a nice way.

This is what they told me on another forum:

add hardware - legacy apm installeren

en dan apm aanvinken

Anyway, I don't want my IRQ's shared across all my components, I don't know the big difference between MPS and ACPI.

BTW: I have APIC 1.4, my mobo is a MSI KT3 ultra (KT-333 chipset)

I tried your "reboot --> bios --> press F5"-thingy. When I do that I just go to a OS choice menu, where I can choose between safe mode and such or revert to a last known working config. I don't see anything with ACPI, or MPS.

I know the F5 thing works when Installing windows 2K/XP, but when it has been installed ????

Device manager -> Computer -> Properties (of standard PC in this case) -> Driver -> update or change -> show list -> choose ACPI or MPS or whatever

reboot

have drivers ready just in case

The only way you can shut down your PC by pushing the power button is by Using ACPI

but using APM , and Start -> Shutdown option in windows works flawless

Problem is, it does not show up in the list.

Blijft exact hetzelfde (stond oorspronkelijk aangevinkt)

same here :/

In W2K you can choose
In XP you have to "repair" your installation from CD to choose

edit
Boot off the cd like you were doing a regular install. When it says hit f6 at the bottom hit f5 instead (or also) and choose the MPS uni HAlL by hitting up arrow until you see it and let it go thru like a normal install. When it finds the old install it will ask if you want to repair that install. Say yes.

APIC was developed FOR servers originaly. On a server they strive for stability and sharing IRQ's does not lend itself well to stability in a server envoronment. Its neat we are seeing it now in desktop bios's I think.

By TEX @ icrontic

of course you should make an image before you are fooling around with this thingy

and all that because you don't want to use "Start -> shutdown"

xcuse me but: Jeezus, the time could "save" you by using the power button, you will lose double time when reinstalling everything

And because it won't go into standby, and because the pc would be speedier, they say...

So what is the difference between MPS/ACPI & ACPI Uni?

*bump* :D

I had several "out of the blue(*)" IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on this Windows XP box.

I didn't change any hardware or drivers.

I've had the same problem several times in W2K. I just select device manager -> computer ... update driver ... let's say i have ACPI, then i choose mps or standard pc or whatever i feel like that day. Reboot. After re-configuring i choose whatever option i had in the first place, here ACPI. Reboot. Reconfiguring & IRQ problem is gone.

I did the same thing tonight with this XP box. I've chosen 'standard pc'.
BUT: there is no going back !
I can only choose 'standard pc'.
F5 doesn't work.
Repair re-install doesn't work.
There is NO APM tab.

BUT: IRQ problem is gone :banana:

Maybe a fresh install of win2k without ACPI could fix my problem ?
